Floating Clouds-(13)
"Here we are, Mom. ”
Xiaoyu came out with the child in her arms, and Lin Ya had already walked to the hall.
"Why haven't you answered for so long?"
Lin Ya put the wooden basin on the floor of the hall, "This fish belongs to our family's own fish pond, and your father asked me to send one over for you to taste." ”
"Okay, thank you, Mom. ”
Lin Ya glanced at her daughter, who was holding the child, her little grandson was white and clean, with big eyes and a round face, which was quite similar to her, and she liked it very much.
"Come, little potato, grandma hug. ”
As she spoke, she reached out and put her arms around her little grandson.
Lin Ya glanced at her daughter, hugged the child and walked to her room, as soon as she entered the room, she saw a book on the kang, and Lin Ya's face was immediately bad.
She sighed as she sat on the kang with the child in her arms.
"Xiaoyu, tell me about you, what books do you read? What college entrance examination do you want to take? First of all, can you get in? Even if you do, how do you go about reading?"
"Mom, haven't you already sent a notice, if I am admitted this year, the tuition fee is small, and there will be a subsidy every month, which is enough for me to live. ”
"The subsidy is enough for you to live? What about the little potatoes? Hey, who will take the child? Haven't you thought about it? I don't have time to help you bring the child, you know what the situation of our family is!"
The two sons of the Qi family have already married and had children, and now they have four children, two grandchildren and two granddaughters, and she wants to help take care of the children.
"Xiaoyu, in fact, I have always wanted to persuade you to do something, but you didn't listen to it originally, and I didn't say much, but this is getting closer and closer to the day of the college entrance examination, I have to say. ”
Lin Ya hugged the child and got serious, with a helpless face.
"Mom, what are you going to say?"
Qi Xiaoyu actually probably knew what her mother wanted to say.
"Xiaoyu, let's talk about Zhidong's kid first. ”
Lin Ya shook his head and sighed.
"Zhidong's child is from the city, you want to marry him back then, originally your father and I were unwilling, one or two he has no foundation in our village, no one to rely on, and second, our family is not worthy of his family, you have also heard and known, what is the situation in his hometown? What is the situation of our family? But what about you at that time? Don't listen to anything, you just want to marry him!"
"Now that you are married, you still have children, and your life is uneventful, but it can be regarded as comfortable, but now that he is going to take the college entrance examination, you are actually willing to support him?"
"Are you a stupid kid? He looks like that, if he is admitted, not to mention whether he will return to us, just say that when he is in school, how many girls will like him?"
"It's a question of whether you're going to be or not, why don't you think about yourself?"
"Take a step back, when he graduates and has a good job, he may look down on you even more, you are a rural woman, he is an intellectual, are you as worthy?"
Xiaoyu smiled, she sat next to her mother, and said, "I'm afraid that the gap is too big, so I also have to take the college entrance examination, in case I am also admitted, then there is no big gap." ”
"Hey, you're ......"
Xiaoyu directly interrupted what her mother wanted to say again, and persuaded, "Mom, don't persuade me, it's useless to persuade me, think about it, if he really gets admitted, I really get admitted, and then we have a job in the city, and life is good, isn't it good for our family?"
"Mom, the eldest brother and the second brother still have children, they don't want to take the college entrance examination, so they live like this for the rest of their lives, but what about the children?
When Lin Ya heard this, she was stunned, she glanced at Xiaoyu, and then at the little potato in her arms, thinking of her grandchildren.
What Xiaoyu said is not unreasonable, she also understands this, if there are a few powerful people in this world, not to mention whether they can help, that is, they can also get a little light on their faces, but ......
But what if Jiang Zhidong is admitted and Xiaoyu is not......?
Lin Ya shook his head, "What you said makes sense, but I still don't like Comrade Dong's kid to take the college entrance examination, you'd better not take it!"
"No, Mom, I'm married now, I can call the bills about my affairs, I know Mom is afraid that he doesn't want me, but Mom, think about it, even if he really doesn't want me at that time, what can I do?
"Hey, you dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about?
Xiaoyu didn't care, she knew that it was really not good to say remarriage at this time, this Lucheng is a place where a woman's reputation is bigger than the sky!
If you talk about divorce, don't care about the fault of the man and the woman, and don't care if the man and the woman say they want to divorce, they must first say that the man doesn't want the woman.
Some will even maliciously speculate whether the woman has done something ugly?
Even if a couple has been married for many years and has no children. Obviously, the man is infertile, but if you talk about it, everyone will put all the malice on the woman first.
In her previous life, she also valued and cared about reputation and face, but now that she has died once, there are some things that she sees very openly.
What reputation?
Is it important to live happily, happily, and well?
"Mom, don't talk about this, I only have to advocate these things, thank you for bringing me fish, small potatoes have fish soup to drink. ”
Xiaoyu knows what her mother is thinking, and it is useless to talk to her more, so it is better not to say it.
"Hey, I'll tell you about the college entrance examination!"
"Mom, I don't want to say it, if you have something at home, you can go back first. ”
"Hey, you dead girl, I'm going to drive your mother now? I'm really raising you for nothing! I don't repay my kindness, and the fish is blind for you to eat!"
Lin Ya scolded and scolded Ne Ne and put down the little potato, walked out angrily, and walked to the front without forgetting to turn around and scold her.
"When the time comes, don't cry and ask your mother's family to support you!"
As he spoke, he strode outside.
Far away she met the widow Wang in the same village, the widow Wang is more than ten years younger than her, the appearance is not bad, her husband is gone two years ago, she gave birth to a daughter Wang Xiuxiu, who is eighteen years old this year, and can marry someone in Lucheng, but Wang Xiuxiu wants to marry a good one, but the village is so many people back and forth, her mother has been giving her a young man since she was sixteen years old, but she has not looked down, this is not finally eighteen years old, the marriage has not been decided, and it has been delayed.
"Sister-in-law of the Qi family, where are you fighting?" said the widow Wang.
"I came from my daughter and brought her a grass carp to taste. ”
"Hey, your fish pond is dry?"
"Yes, there are still some fish at home, do you want to buy two?"
"How can I have spare money to buy fish to eat? Hey, you don't know my day. ”
"What day?" Lin Ya smiled.
Widow Wang's husband was a bricklayer before his death, and he saved some money in his early years, and the widow Wang raised her white and pure, better than all the women in the village, and wore good clothes, and had fields at home.
Lin Ya casually talked to her and went home, she didn't like to see this widow and didn't want to talk to her more.
