If you want to go to Mars for three days, you still have to go to the sun?
Can I go?
When I was in physics class, the teacher seemed to have asked me to calculate that it would take many light years to travel from the earth to the sun at the speed of light. But I don’t remember how many light years. I don’t know how many years a light year actually is.
She said: "...I'm afraid this trip won't work. Can you come back before the high school entrance examination next year?"
Qingning said to the phone: "……………………" Who is this? Why are you teasing yourself when you have nothing to do? She said, "I still have to rush for the high school entrance examination, which is probably quite stressful. But you have to
If I really want to go, let’s submit a document to the Ministry of Education and change the exam time.”
"Really?" Oh my god, this is awesome! I jumped on the spot for a moment before getting upset again, "That won't work either. I will definitely miss my wheat harvest time..."
Qing Ning: “………………” It’s getting more and more exciting!
Qingshou over there snatched the phone away and quickly hung up the phone. Qingning had always been confused and didn't know who this lunatic was.
My balls hurt!
Didn’t you see that my aunt didn’t even have annual leave, so she spent the New Year’s Eve at home, and then stayed in the laboratory again?
Qing Shu said to Yang Meili: "You are ready to marry me, but you still care about the exam time. Why do you care about your family's wheat harvest..."
The first sentence was okay, but the latter sentence made Lao Yang, who was sitting inside and listening to the conversation outside, feel increasingly unhappy. Although he didn’t hear what the other party said on the phone, he could guess it based on his child’s reaction**
Not far away from ten.
I already feel uncomfortable in my heart.
The same child, my own child looks spiritual, but who knows that his brain is a bit stupid.
Look at that child, he doesn’t know what he looks like now, but he saw it when he passed through the town when he was a child. The child held by Jin Laoer’s mother has a bare forehead, what do you think?
Ugly. If you tell me how people can be so successful, then they are really capable.
Isn't that what it feels like, and then I heard the kid say, OK! You are getting married, so you don't have to worry about the exam. Besides, with your brain, you only care about the exam, so what can you do? But why?
Don't ask my daughter to take care of my family's wheat harvest.
While others were planting fruit trees, Lao Yang took a different approach and contracted a hundred acres of land on the Yellow River floodplain to grow wheat.
This kind of large-scale cultivation of wheat is actually profitable.
For the Yang family, the most important thing of the year is harvesting wheat. No matter how busy the first two uncles are, they still have to spare ten days to help their father-in-law harvest wheat. Sometimes it is not enough to go to work on their own, and they have to be called in.
Your relatives and friends. If they are not free, you spend money to hire people. Anyway, you have to take care of your father-in-law's grain grains and return them to the warehouse.
People who have no sons feel a little uncomfortable. My uncle was willing to help, and Lao Yang also talked about it outside, saying, look at our uncle, he is really a son-in-law. He is better than some people's biological sons.
.
It turned out that the boy outside was not his uncle, so he was trying to persuade the girl to not have her parents.
It doesn't matter if you don't have parents, but at least I have to foresee that my girl will have a good life with you.
However, so far, it is not possible!
Old Yangtou was not happy and asked his daughter to come in: "Beautiful, come in and let's go home."
If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. If you don't talk about it today, you can talk about it another day. Anyway, you can't say it in front of this stupid kid of yours.
Qingshou tugged on Yang Meili's sleeves and whispered: "Your father is afraid that you will miss the farming season and doesn't want you to follow me..."
Then the girl went in and said to her father: "I harvest wheat every year, how can I be missing next year?" Then she said, "Then if I am not here next year, you ask him to go and he can take over the job for me."
"
Qingshou grinned and raised his eyebrows proudly at his father.
However, the boss and his wife really seemed to have eaten flies. This was far from what they expected.
Before, I vowed to build a spaceship just like Qingning, but now I have to harvest wheat with my back turned to the sky.
Son! How do you accept calling me your parents?
Before, the couple would wake up laughing in the middle of the night just thinking about the day in the future when their own house would be more promising than Qingning.
How embarrassing it is to be like this now.
Okay! We just can’t compare with Qing Ning, but at least we have to be similar to Qing Hui.
You said that you are no less qualified than anyone else, so why should you marry such a wife who is not enough?
Then Li Xianer talked about Yang Meili, speaking in a very soft voice, as if the incident of being beaten to the point of almost vomiting blood had never happened. She said: "My dear, don't listen clearly to the nonsense I'm telling you. He coaxed you."
You! Not everyone can go to heaven that day..."
"Why not?" Yang Meili didn't have the slightest fondness for Li Xian'er. As soon as she spoke, she felt that the hypocritical person was not a good person, so she said: "His second sister said that this trip is planned to go to the sun... Doesn't that count as heaven?"
It has to be a wry smile!
Why is Qingning so narrow-minded?
Lao Yang was very angry and said to himself: Why are your Jin family like this? You are not kind at all! Why are you bullying my stupid children?
He quickly asked his daughter: "If you don't dare to believe what others say, then you are like a melon. The sun is so far away from us, and it is extremely hot in summer. Why don't you go up to the sun?"
"Dad, if you don't understand, just don't talk, otherwise you will be embarrassed." Yang Meili said angrily, "Did you go to school or did I go to school? Did you listen to the class or did I listen to the class? If you can't go to the sun, my physics teacher called
Is there something wrong with our minds when we calculate how long it takes to get from the earth to the sun?”
Lao Yang: "..." Yes! I can't go, so what's the point?
Don’t have enough brain to count?
Qing'an, who was eavesdropping in the bedroom, buried his head in the quilt. He couldn't help but laughed to death.
The physics teacher in the school really deserves to be cut to pieces. Look, you have nothing to do! Calculate the trouble! Calculate the disaster. If you don’t live well later, I will come to you.
Then the physics teacher became the culprit.
Anyway, this conversation was temporarily ended due to the unwillingness of the parents of the Jin family and the Yang family.
But this matter never ends. Why?
Because classmate Yang Meili sneaked out after arriving home and went to Mr. Jin's house. He stayed there and refused to leave. Even if Mr. Yang came over and said, "Let's go! My daughter, dad will take you to the capital now and we will spend money to see the Great Wall."
I won’t go there. I firmly believe that the Great Wall will be more beautiful when viewed from the sky.
Think about it, a village is only such a big place. Nice people want to make waves even though they have nothing to do. What’s more, such a big thing happened.
Liu Cheng's sister almost made up a commentary about Jin Mancheng's family affairs, and talked about it when she went out to meet people.
It doesn't make any sense to say that such a big girl comes to live at home, but it won't sound good if it gets out. What will happen to the wife in the future? If she doesn't know clearly, it will become a second marriage.
There are always those idle people who like to meddle in other people's family affairs. They all think they are justified and come to persuade them.
Not only were they persuading the Jin family, but there were also enthusiastic people from the Yang family helping to make arrangements.
He said to Mr. and Mrs. Jin: "Look, both children are like this. No matter what, let's arrange for the children. We still have to talk about the marriage. It's all nonsense for this girl from the Yang family to say that they are not enough."
.Does your child look stupid to you? How old is she, right? Her family is more pampered and her temperament is more straight-forward. She looks stupid because she is young. If she doesn’t know how to teach her as an adult, it’s over. Now.
In this case, at least you can save a lot of money by getting married. Otherwise, what do you think you should do?" She looked like she was thinking about him and said, "Calculate the cost of marrying a wife now. Your whole yard has been given to you.
The eldest son of the family. Nowadays when the younger ones get married, you need a yard no matter what you do. Now you have an empty yard with nothing, and you can’t afford ten thousand yuan. Let’s build some houses for the yard, not too many, just three.
A main house with a kitchen. With the current cost of bricks, sand, soil, and labor, let me tell you, it would be impossible to build it without 25,600 yuan. The yard and house alone would cost 35,560 yuan. And then wouldn’t the house be painted?
You have to paint a simple painting so that people can live in it. We don’t count too much. At worst, we can call a few acquaintances and do the work at home. But the materials have to be bought. Including the doors, windows and glass, it will cost another three to four thousand.
. This is already 40,000 yuan. When you marry a wife, you can’t leave the house empty. You have to rely on your mother’s dowry to fill the house. You still have to pay for the most basic furniture, which is the simplest bed, cabinet, and sofa. It doesn’t cost 10,000 yuan.
I can’t afford it. This is only 50,000 yuan. This doesn’t even include the TV. Let’s see if it can be included in my future wife’s dowry.”
This man was really worried about other people's affairs. He even worried about himself and spread his hands, "That's not counting the bride price that the woman asked for. Now that I'm marrying a wife, nothing else
Let’s not talk about it for now. Taking 30,000 yuan now is the bottom line. As for the gold, silver, and clothes for all seasons... let’s not talk about that for now. That’s all... the total is 80,000 yuan! You still have to have money for a wedding, right?
. No matter what, we have to prepare another 20,000 yuan. You see, it is impossible to marry this daughter-in-law without a hundred thousand yuan."
Jin Mancheng and his wife never settled this matter at all.
The family is still in debt, and now the money they can raise is only two to three hundred.
Li Xian'er cooks for the kindergarten. She lives day by day by stealing some food and earning seven or eight yuan a day.
One hundred thousand, that is really an astronomical number that no one dares to imagine.
The busy director said: "You do the math for yourselves and see where I am wrong. This is still a normal situation. If we don't get married with the Yang family, it will be really difficult for our children to find marriages in the future. Who can
We all know that there is a girl who has lived in our house for some reason. A good girl is not very willing to get married. Either find a second marriage and bring a child into the house. Or, we have to get it all from the money. Look.
Are there any money-loving parents who are willing to marry their daughter over? By then, it won’t be enough to spend a hundred thousand dollars. But on the other hand, if you calculate the account, it’s the old Yang family, and the girl has come to live in it without any reason.
, can his conditions be lowered, so that he doesn’t have a house or a yard for the time being? I’m sure he’s willing to accommodate. He wants a dowry of 30,000 yuan, so if he gives him 10,000 yuan, he can live in peace. After that, he’ll get another dowry.
.Our family won’t suffer any loss and still get a wife for free. This wife is a very good deal.”
Just the comparison of the amount of money before and after was enough to make the two of them excited.
Then the director said, "It's sheer nonsense to say there's something wrong with someone. What's the problem with the two eldest girls of the Yang family? They don't go to school or take exams the same way.
Who says other people's children are stupid? I tell you, this person's words are the most unbelievable."
It seems to make some sense.
Then someone from the Yang family muttered in front of Lao Yang: "...You said this has already happened, what if you don't get married? Even if you want to bring in a child for your child, it's good that you don't want to bring in a wife. It's not good.
Can the child be willing? The child must not say in his heart, why should I find a mutilated person when I can obviously find a healthy person? Once life is not good and the couple talks about it, will they feel sad in their hearts?
I think so. The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel. What’s more, with our beautiful temperament, no matter what kind words someone says, I’ll run away as soon as I’m coaxed. I’m still young now, and if I run away, most people will just say that I’m young and don’t know the time. When we get married, you
I found an honest son-in-law to come to my door, and then asked someone to coax him away. Old Yang! That would be really embarrassing. That is, if you are not young and don't know your time, it would be like running away with others, which is shameless.
I don’t care whether it’s shameful or not for you to follow me, just tell me that your son-in-law can’t be embarrassed in his heart. He doesn’t dare to stir up trouble while you’re alive. But you can live in this world for thousands of years? I’ll wait for the two of you in the future.
All the holes are gone... My old Yang, this kid's hard days have come."
Lao Yang said that the cigarette he had just taken out was crushed into foam.
People there are still married, "...but now it's different to marry this girl off. Think about it, it's so difficult to get a wife nowadays. Once you get married, you have to provide for her like your ancestors."
I'm just afraid that if I'm unhappy, I'll just slap my butt and go away. Our children will get married, and Mr. Jin and his wife will... just watch! Turtle is what he is. Do you dislike that kid from the Jin family for not taking the right path? What's the point! Back then
Is the golden monster a person who takes the right path? Look at people nowadays, who can live a life as good as him? Yes! His fourth son must have helped. But Qingshou is not far from Jin Laosi, and his nephew is here.
If you just lend a hand, that life is not something we envy. Look at the boy from the third family, I heard that he is doing well in the capital. If he wants to open a company, he will find people from our town and village. He is said to be four
A ten-year-old woman wants it, and she still makes a lot of money a month. How can the same nephew be treated in two different ways? He is just Liu Adou, isn't there someone who helped him to the throne? Isn't it? Then you will wait for a good life.
Let's get through it." This person thought quite comprehensively for others, "Don't you just want to find a wife? If you can't find a wife, you can marry her. Don't you have two grandchildren? Take one of them and raise it at home, whether it is the eldest brother-in-law or the second brother-in-law, which one
If you are willing to come over and live with you, the house in your family will belong to whoever it is. Besides, in this world from now on, people are only children. Which family has only given birth to a daughter, how can they not live well? It depends on you.
Do you think more about your children or your own future?"
What this says is that if you don’t marry your daughter off, you will be selfish.
Anyway, the two families are not allowed to settle down. Relatives, friends, neighbors and fellow villagers have to say something about this and say something about that. Everyone feels that they have been considered for the sake of these two families.
Telling the Jin Mancheng couple and Lao Yang made them feel even more uncomfortable!
Could it be that my original idea was wrong?
A matchmaker even took the initiative to visit the two families and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the two babies. I think it's all right."
Li Xian'er then said: "Tell us to think about it again..."
The other party had a don't know what's going on expression on his face. Within two days, everyone knew that this was the job, and Li Xian'er was particularly picky in choosing a daughter-in-law.
Some people say behind their backs: "Life has become such a coward. Now that a girl is willing to marry him, it's time to burn incense and worship Buddha. They also deliberately manipulate it, as if there is something great about his family..."
You see, whether it’s good or bad, it’s all up to people to tell you.
There were also people who went to Lao Er and Yingzi and told them: "You are uncles and aunts, you have to take care of them. You can't watch your boss do this..."
Who did it?
Qingping especially couldn't understand these people. When she was alone at home, she muttered to her mother: "Why is this person so free? He doesn't think about how he lives his own life, but he settles other people's accounts so clearly."
Yingzi said: "A village has been living in this area for generations, and no one knows who's family. Ask me how much our family's annual income is. People in our alley help us calculate it. It's not 100% accurate."
But eight|nine are inseparable from ten. Even if there are such free people, what can be done."
Someone else said to the second child and Yingzi: "You should tell the fourth child and Tong that the child's marriage is a big deal."
Everyone is kind-hearted and very enthusiastic about giving advice to others.
You can't just yell back at someone so bluntly. In front of others, Lao Er and Ying Zi are the kind of people who no matter what the other person says, they just say 'yes, yes, okay, okay', and wait for the person to leave, but
"Tsk", and then just do whatever you have to do.
We can't get involved in this matter. We want to help the couple take charge of the family, but no one has the ability.
The second child said: That boy's legs should be broken if he is cleared.
But did the couple listen? After getting into such a big trouble, they came back and were angry for three to five minutes. After that, they just did whatever they wanted. They didn't even say a harsh word.
Qingping and Xu Qiang were both preparing to return to the capital during the winter vacation, and then their eldest uncle and auntie came to inform them.
The marriage with the Yang family has been decided.
We plan to get engaged on February 2nd and have a wedding on June 6th.
Even the days have been chosen!
Li Xian'er was quite happy and said to Yingzi: "...you don't know, the Yang family only wants a gift of 10,000 yuan, and they have agreed to give her a TV and a washing machine in the future."
If both families are willing to agree on something, who can say anything?
After the couple left, Yingzi said to the second son: "Don't give me any more money. Qingshou took five hundred from Qiangzi, and the elder couple didn't mention it at all, so they just pretended that it didn't happen. But we
Can you pretend that this is nothing?" After that, he told Qingping again, "One yard is one yard, and you have to pay it back."
Qingping responded.
Yingzi called Tongtong again: "...I even took five thousand from Yan Yan. If they ask you to borrow money again, don't give it to them. It's not over yet! Let your life pass by yourself!"
The third child made an excuse to help Qingjuan go to school. It would cost a lot of money, but he said there was nothing.
Li Xianer told people: "No one in my family is willing to help with such a big matter as marrying a wife."
Others say to themselves: Your wife is just like she picked it up for free. She doesn’t even talk about the house and yard. Why are you complaining?
And Jin Mancheng's reputation is not very good, so he can't borrow money from him.
The two called Qingfeng and asked for 10,000 yuan, "You are the elder brother after all. When your brother gets married, you won't take a dime?"
Of course Huahua didn't agree: "Our children have spent so much money, but they are still considered grandparents and uncles. Who are they not relatives? Why don't they care? What they are doing is not human affairs! Now I think about it, we are relatives,
When we threw away our child, why couldn't we remember who it was? We can afford ten thousand dollars. But I would rather give that ten thousand to those poor children who can't afford medical treatment.
I don’t want to give it to her. I also tell you clearly, Jin Qingfeng, if you dare to secretly subsidize your parents, your mother, and your brother, we will never get along. Anyway, we don’t even have a marriage certificate now!"
Qingfeng hesitated for a long time before saying: "If you don't give it, I won't give it. Look, what are you talking about about those who have some but don't have them?"
Anyway, even this ten thousand yuan can't be spent.
What to do?
The old couple rented out their land!
Rent for ten years! Rent is 20,000!
They want land for a total of six people, including the three members of the Qingfeng family, and they have rented it out. Seven acres of land will be divided into two parts for ten years! Twenty thousand!
At first, the couple had no land on the farm. Later, Fourth Master and Tong got higher and higher, and Murakami would not deny face to the two of them for their land. So it was later compensated for them. Even Huahua did not have a marriage certificate and the child had not yet been born.
I didn't even bother with getting a household registration, the village allotted the land.
Normally, with seven or eight acres of land, as long as you are not a lazy person with fleas, you can still live an ordinary life.
As a result, the land was rented out. One lease is still ten years!
The second child couldn't help scolding the boss: "Your brain is being eaten by pigs! You are the farmer. If you rent out the land, what will you eat after that?"
People who work outside can indeed earn a lot. In order to prevent the fields from being abandoned, they rent them out. But your family relies on a woman to cook for others and earn a few dollars a day to make ends meet.
Do you dare to rent out the land?
The boss still has his own reasons, "I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law, so what else do I have to worry about? Let the two brothers take care of the rest. Can you still watch me and your sister-in-law starve to death?"
Just be my old man at home."
You are only in your forties! What kind of old man do you think you are?
The second eldest child said to Yingzi: "It's true that you are only three years old. The eldest son has spent his whole life... When he was young, he relied on his parents. At that time, they had to do so much for him. But now? He has made a lot of troubles.
I haven’t cleaned up yet, so I’m going to do nothing! I’ll marry my baby and even rent out the land. After that, I’ll be the shopkeeper! At such a young age, he wants to ask his baby to support him..."
Yingzi thought of what Li Xian'er said earlier and couldn't help but laugh: "...People have already said that no matter whether you are poor or rich, at least the meat is sweet..."
People are so lazy, what else is there to say?
As for Qingshou and Yang Meili, what will these two children do to make a living? I'm sorry! It seems like it really has nothing to do with them.
Yingzi said to the second child: "Although Li Xian'er is not a thing, at least he is much better than your elder brother. I rely on your elder brother to farm the land. Good guy, I don't get up until three o'clock in the morning. When I get up, I boil water to make tea leisurely and drink two pots.
I go to the fields after tea. I work in the fields for less than an hour and then I have to go home." As she said this, she imitated Jin Mancheng's tone and demeanor, "No, no, no, my health is not good. The sun is too poisonous and makes people dizzy."
Qingping just covered his mouth and laughed, his uncle was really like this.
Originally, when the weather was cool, most people would go to the fields at five or six in the morning and work until about eleven o'clock. Then they would come back to cook and eat, and then take a rest. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the heat began to subside slowly, and they would go to the fields again.
I didn't go home until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, when it was dark and I couldn't see anymore.
Anyone like him would go to the field at around nine or ten o'clock, and then go home with everyone on time at eleven o'clock. At six o'clock in the evening, he would go to the field again, and then go home at seven or eight o'clock.
If we serve the crops like this, will the crops yield a harvest?
He is one who grows crops every year and loses money every year.
Li Xian'er, on the other hand, got up at four in the morning to go to the kindergarten and had to make breakfast for the children at 7:30. With so many people, they had to clean up the dishes after eating. After cleaning up, it was time for the second meal. Anyway, it was almost a day
There was no free time. She had dinner at 5:30 in the afternoon, the children were off from school, and she tidied up the kitchen. It was around 6:30 or 7 when she got home, and occasionally she would help out for a while while it was still dark.
Work.
The hottest place in summer is the kitchen. In winter, I get up early and dare to walk at midnight. Anyway, when winter comes, my face will get frostbite, and my hands will no longer be able to see.
No matter what your personality or character is, at least you are trying to find a way to support your family.
Yingzi and Qingping gave Li Xian'er a fair word: "...People say your aunt is a petty thief. If she doesn't steal, how can she live? The two men at home support her. She is really rich.
, are you curious about the three melons and two dates? A handful of rice, two ounces of vinegar, give it to your mother and me, I am too lazy to take it because it is too troublesome. Who would steal that for nothing? After all, you are still poor! Your uncle is not living up to expectations,
You are only in your forties, and you can earn seven to eight hundred a month just by working as a poop on a pig farm, and you can also take care of your family's land."
Qingping listened to all the right and wrong, and she felt that she would collect them all and write a book called "Things About Our Village" in the future.
Then when I arrived in the capital, I sat on the sofa again and talked about these gossips with Qingning and my aunt.
Qing Ning was very happy to hear this, "...I thought at the time that someone was deliberately trying to mess with me. Who would have thought that something like this would happen."
Anyway, no one can rush back until the engagement day on February 2nd.
Jin Tongtong told Yingzi to just follow their lead and give the gift.
But there are also embarrassing things. For example, if this is a younger brother's wedding, do you think the older brother or sister should also receive a gift?
This confused Qing Ning and Qing Ping. They called Qing Hui again and asked him: "Are you polite or not?"
How did Qinghui know?
You all don’t understand, and I don’t even understand.
Qingping said: "When Qingfeng got married, we didn't give him anything."
Qingning said: "But you weren't engaged at that time? Now that you are engaged, you are an adult. And on my side...I was not a college graduate at that time, but now, although I have not graduated, I am in graduate school.
People in my hometown say that I build spaceships, and they are also talking about how much money I make in a month. I don’t take out a single cent, doesn’t it look good?”
That makes sense!
For them, they can go and do whatever they want. If their hometown is far away from their lives, who cares?
But they don't care, but the elders in the family do!
Don't ask people to judge us for this little thing.
Then Qingning asked her mother: "You said I am like my sister, what should I do?"
Lin Yutong said: "Has your uncle called you?"
Um?
What's the meaning?
Lin Yutong said: "There are particularities in whether to use etiquette or not. If someone has told you specifically and informed you, then you have to do it unless you want to break off the relationship. If they have not specifically informed you, then you have to do it."
Don't worry about it. You haven't gotten married or started a family, and there are no engagement ceremonies with Strictly, so he probably won't tell you."
Qingping asked Yingzi, and Yingzi said the same thing. If you don't get married, you are not considered an adult, so why should you give him a gift?
However, two days later, Jin Mancheng actually called his two nieces and said very formally: "You are all adults now, so I won't tell you because I am afraid you will blame me. I am calling today just to tell you."
A sound..."
Both of these sisters are confused. They have said this. Can we not be polite?
Qing Ning was muttering, and Yan Yan called: "...What... How are marriages done over there? My uncle called me and told me that Qing Shou was getting married. He also said he didn't know about me.
Please tell me the contact information of my parents and ask me to have a wedding banquet on the day."
Although he had also stayed in the county, he had never experienced the old-fashioned nature of that place as deeply as he does now.
Really! It’s been so many years, but the in-laws are still so far apart.
The sister-in-law whom my cousin married for the first time could not tell whether her parents had round or flat hair.
But when I arrived at my hometown in Qingning, the old rules were very strict.
In-laws like this are real relatives.
He had personally seen Qinghui call Qingning and Qingping's uncle uncle. At most, when talking to others, he called him "uncle of the Lin family". By analogy, Li Xianer's younger brother and the children of the Jin family all called him "uncle".
As 'Uncle Li'.
This pattern of relatives trapping relatives is rarely seen in the city anymore.
Qing Ning frowned, she could do this kind of thing herself, but if more people were involved, she would be completely irritated.
He said: "Don't worry about it, he said, I will just do the ceremony for you."
Then when I got home, I complained to my parents: "My uncle is right, I'm not married yet, so why should I get married?"
As for Xu Qiang, Xu Tian called and said that it was the boss and his wife who came to talk. The etiquette must be properly prepared.
This is something I can't complain about. When Xu Qiang's mother died, the Jin family had a total of five rooms, all of which were prepared according to the etiquette of in-laws. Even Wu Da and Wu Shuang, who had nothing to do with each other, were not left behind.
Therefore, Xu Qiang told Qingping, and Qingping nodded. They were just in-laws from the beginning, so there was nothing to complain about.
The only inappropriate thing is that after telling the Xu family, you shouldn't tell her specifically. She hasn't graduated from college yet, and although she has made some money through writing, she has not become self-reliant in society.
Anyway, no one will go back on February 2nd.
Qingning asked his father: "Are you going back on June 6th?"
Lin Yutong turned over the calendar and said, "June 6th... I have to go back, everyone."
It's not because of Qingshou's wedding, but because of the teacher. This year is the teacher's eightieth birthday.
I have been busy these years and rarely go back. Teacher Qin Guo has been living in the county. The hospital has specialized experts to check the elderly's health every day.
Senior brother has been taking care of me there.
Although he said every time he talked on the phone that he had benefited from him, his salary was extremely high now. In this county, to put it bluntly, everyone would give him face.
But Lin Yutong said that she still felt indebted.
A few years ago, I said I would take him to the capital, but as a result, I didn’t say anything. I also disliked the wind and sand in spring, and disliked the heat in summer. When it came to autumn, I also said that autumn was too short, and it was not ready yet.
What's wrong? It's so cold that I can't go out.
There is always a reason!
In the final analysis, I just don't want to cause trouble to myself.
The more she understood the old man's thoughts, the greater the debt she felt in her heart. She was not afraid of anyone gossiping. She took the lead this year and wanted to celebrate the teacher's eightieth birthday properly.
Birthdays are celebrated according to the lunar calendar, and the date of engagement in my hometown is also according to the lunar calendar.
The teacher’s birthday is the eighth day of June. If I had to go back in advance to prepare, I would have been in the county seat on June 6th.
Lin Yutong discussed with Qingning: "See if you can adjust your time and come back to your hometown with us." He pointed to the calendar, "June 6th in the lunar calendar happens to be July 26th in the solar calendar. Qingyuan has already taken the exam.
It’s over. It doesn’t involve anything. It just depends on your time.”
To celebrate the birthday of our master, it would not look good if the younger generation doesn’t go.
Qingning said: "I'll talk to the instructor and make time when the time comes."
Then Lin Yutong became really concerned and made a list of all his old relationships with teachers.
There are people from all walks of life, who want to be invited and who are not. This is not something that can be completed in one day.
But we have to send invitations to everyone at least a month in advance so that they can arrange the time. In fact, the time is still very tight.
There are also many old relationships. Lin Yutong is not particularly clear about what the current situation is. It is inevitable that he will have to call the teacher and ask the teacher. He can't talk about celebrating his birthday, so he has to use all kinds of clichés.
In the end, the old man got tired of it and said very impatiently: "Just tell me, what are you doing?"
Even though he is eighty years old, he is very energetic. He does Tai Chi in the morning and evening, and he can even jog along the artificial lake at night. Nowadays, not only is he physically strong, but the key is that his thinking is very clear. It is not very pleasant to be treated as an old fool all the time.
Don’t be bothered!
Lin Yutong: "..." She was stunned for a moment before saying, "I just miss you. I asked you to come and stay but you didn't."
"I despise longevity!" The old man's lion roar became more and more profound. "Look at the sandstorm in the capital, can you still see anyone?"
Yes! The sandstorms have been particularly severe in the past two years.
There are strong winds in spring, so the windows are basically closed during the day. Otherwise, when you come back at night, your home will look like a layer of dust has fallen.
Once you go out, you have to wash your hair when you come back. If you wash your hair in a basin, just look at it. Pour clean water under the basin and the rest must be sand.
Lin Yutong was busy with work and had no time to celebrate Teacher Zhang Luo's birthday. But more attention was focused on Qingyuan.
I'm a senior in high school.
Unless you have to go to a meeting, avoid the rest of the things if you can. The college entrance examination is only once in a child's life. This is the first major event that the child encounters in his life, and he must be with him.
Fourth Master originally planned not to go to the second round of inspections, but another deputy was replaced, and he also came home as much as possible.
Qingyuan is different from Qingning. Qingning has a pile of various competition awards, and they are all bonus points. But Qingyuan does not have so many competition awards. Only one is the first prize in the National English Speech Contest for Middle School Students.
I don’t know if there will be any bonus points or not. I don’t know yet.
It was possible to win over an outstanding student, but Lin Yutong and Fourth Master didn't say anything about this, so he gave up the fight himself.
The reason for giving up is unknown, but when I asked him, he said more modestly: "I don't need to borrow anyone's light."
Lin Yutong couldn't believe that his child had such a middle-aged side in temperament, but he didn't get to the bottom of it. He still had his own secrets, right?
In the last two months, Lin Yutong, a mother, finally used her evening time to teach her children about mathematics.
His math is not bad, but with a perfect score of 150, it is still a bit difficult to get above 140.
Lin Yutong helps the children specialize in the final questions, five questions every night.
Then his dad gave him some knowledge points about history and geography while they were having dinner and chatting. Then this kind of training was done day after day, for two months at a time.
Half a month before the exam, he was completely relaxed.
Lin Yutong said to the child: "Don't worry and take the exam. Even if you fail, it should be much better than most."
What the fourth master said to his children was: "Don't worry. You will definitely not be able to smash it. We have reviewed everything that needs to be reviewed. There are absolutely no blind spots in knowledge."
But can Qingyuan really rest assured?
I entered the examination room nervously. Of course, as soon as I saw the papers, all the nervousness disappeared. I have been trained to forget myself when I see the examination questions, and there is nothing except the examination.
Answering the questions was so smooth all the way. I don’t know where the excerpts from Chinese Classical Chinese came from, but I am familiar with the article, and I have memorized it in elementary school. I finished the math without any stumbling, and I didn’t even feel that the last question was relevant.
No matter the difficulty, any knowledge point involved in it has been explained by my mother. It is clearer than the teacher.
Anyway, after finishing the exam, Qingyuan looked at his sister with a strange look on his face: "I think I can also strive for the top spot."
Number one scholar?
When you go to a top university, everyone you meet is a top scorer. The top scorer in the school, the top scorer in the district, the top scorer in the city, the top scorer in the province... Anyway, everyone has the aura of top scorer.
Qing Ning said: "Your mentality is not good. You must remember it correctly. You can treat yourself as an ordinary person, and even humbly put yourself in the kind of stupid person who needs to fly first."
At that level, you might feel better mentally."
Qingyuan was so excited that he almost decided to major in Chinese language and literature. He felt that he would be able to understand this major.
When Yan Yan came back, Qingyuan said to Yan Yan: "How do you tolerate my sister?"
An ordinary person would have beaten her to death ten thousand times.
She is already a reserve scientist, and all day long she still feels that she belongs to the category of idiots. People who don’t know better think she is pretentious.
Yan Yan understands, "...the environment she is in is getting more and more sophisticated, and among such a group of people, your sister is also under a lot of pressure..."
And this kind of pressure is not something ordinary people like us can understand.
Lin Yutong took care of his child until the college entrance examination was over, and then gave up. What major he wanted to study was his own business. He was not a child who didn’t know anything about various majors in college and needed help and guidance from adults. He was a master of everything.
Understand, then she and Fourth Master have nothing to do, let him leave it to himself.
What was she busy with? She was busy sending out invitations for her teacher's birthday.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the invitation went out, it quickly became popular.
Some people who have not received the invitation are asking for help through connections. Lin Yutong wants an invitation.
Some people even find people who have received invitations just to take them to the birthday banquet.
The old man has taught many students, and some of them with good noses are eager to find a way. Some of the old colleagues are no longer alive, but their descendants have not received the invitation, so they call the old man and say that they must go.
Yes, don’t turn them away.
Then Qin Guo called Lin Yutong and yelled: "I'm only eighty years old, so I'm so anxious to celebrate my birthday! When I'm a hundred years old, it won't be too late for you to make arrangements like this!"
Lin Yutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Before he could speak, the person on the other end hung up the phone in anger.
Then he hung up the phone. Qin Guo was sitting on the sofa with a purple clay teapot in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. He was talking to the person on the other end of the phone, "...Oh...I didn't know at all in advance...I just scolded her,
Too high-profile, too flamboyant..."
The other side said: "That's you, you can catch a big boss and discipline him with just his mouth. Who can have more dignity than you? Now you are an old man, and there are still a few unsatisfactory students below..."
It's not for his own son or grandson, but for his students.
The old man could not refuse such a thing as supporting students, "Then bring it. I have agreed not to bring anything. I will not accept anything, and this girl of mine will definitely not accept anything. If you
I asked someone to bring something, but you just don’t treat me as one of your own..."
Zhou Yang secretly called Lin Yutong: "It's true that the teacher doesn't like to show off, but you don't shy away from celebrating his birthday in a big way. The teacher is still happy. You're showing off."
The old man was attentive, and Lin Yutong was even more attentive.
On the third day of June, the family of four went back to their hometown. They took a special leave and went with them. In addition, Qingping, Xu Qiang and Qinghui who were going back to prepare for Qingshou's wedding, this trip can be described as huge.
Yingzi had already helped tidy up the house in the county town, and filled the refrigerator with food and drink.
I haven’t been back for several years, and the county has changed a lot now.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I met some old friends and colleagues at home, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I discussed the dishes and other matters with the hotel.
On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qingning and Qingyuan were still strict and returned to town.
The second and third children all returned to the county first. On the first day of the wedding, they were all very busy. It was especially popular in the evening, so the new house couldn't be empty. The more people there, the better.
Qingning and Qingping went for a walk and then came back.
I would rather watch TV series at home than stay there.
Especially Qingning, if nothing else, the uncle is annoying enough. As soon as he heard that his father was back, he kept chasing Qingning and asked: "When will your father and mother come over?"
Qingning didn't know what it meant at first, but seeing her aunt Yingzi shaking her head, she said, "It's hard to say. There are too many people coming to visit, and it's hard to say whether they will see this or not..."
The boss didn't give up yet, and told Qing Ning: "Call your dad and tell him to come back quickly. What's the big deal? What's the point of delaying? My nephew is getting married. If he doesn't come back, forget it. Now that he's back, come back quickly."
In front of so many people, Qingning was speechless.
After they left, Yingzi said: "I want to ask your father to come back and take Qingshou to the Yang family's head to take charge first!"
Si first wanted to kowtow to the ancestors of the Yang family.
Where did you get such a big face to ask your father?
Qing Ning was angry at that time, so he stopped talking about it. He was just thinking about his plan, and it was bullshit for him to ignore him.
The point is, she feels like she can't even talk normally after she comes back.
After arriving in town, the conversation pattern is as follows:
"Qing Ning is back...this is our great scientist..."
"You're so polite, you're not a scientist, you're just working with the teacher."
"What are you doing?"
"To start with, I just...just...do some odd jobs..."
The people on the side understood it consciously, and then explained kindly, "It's just like the workers on the construction site."
Me? A small worker on the construction site?
Then the other party felt that he understood, "Their Feitian project is a project, and our house building project is also a project. All projects require small workers..."
As a result, Qing Ning became one of the legendary people who worked part-time during the entire project.
The key is that part-time workers are not formal workers, right?
These people said, "You have to ask your parents to find someone quickly. There must be a staff at all times."
Qingning: "...Okay! I will tell my parents."
We can’t talk today!
On TV, He Shuhuan was arguing with Yiping about "You are unreasonable and "You are unreasonable". While listening, Qingning complained to Qingping, "I used to think that being in the village was pretty good, and I was happy to come back during the holidays. Why now?
I feel so awkward when I come back. If I don’t come back, I still think about it occasionally, but if I really wait until I come back, I will be bored for three days...at most three days..."
Qingping laughed, "Some people also ask me if I want to dig ancient tombs in the mountains."
But just get used to it.
They don't have any bad intentions, they just don't understand the outside world.
Qingping said: "My father and I don't have anything in common now. Now they still say that I am better off with a job. It depends on how the school allocates work...don't always point at your fourth uncle and aunt..."
She is too lazy to explain now. Just say whatever you want.
The next day, the sisters didn't go there until nine o'clock.
Qingfeng and his wife have not returned yet, and the new house that was cleared is still the same one that was cleared at the beginning.
This time, the etiquette was thorough, and all the ancestors who should be invited were invited back.
Then it was time to pick up the bride, and Jin Mancheng shouted to Qingning loudly: "Ask your parents if your mother is coming back? If not, I will pick her up."
Qingning said: "That's the person who picked you up. Why are you asking my father and mother? If you don't come back, why won't you get married?"
She told her mother last night about her uncle's plan, and then her mother said: "I won't go back!"
Just don’t give this face!
If you know how to behave, even if you go back and offer a toast to the other person, that's fine. But if you don't know how to behave, then just stay there.
If your face is fooled and people's eyes are misled, it will be considered a failure!
In front of so many relatives and friends, Qing Ning sent the person back.
Jin Mancheng didn't have the consciousness of being criticized. As soon as Qingning's voice became stronger, he weakened, "I didn't mean that, I just said that it's time to have a banquet when we get back. There are new relatives. Ask the new relatives to wait.
not good."
"Then don't wait." My parents didn't say they wanted to go back to town.
This means that people may not come back.
The people in the village saw clearly that the Jin brothers no longer wanted to take care of Jin Mancheng. The second brother was hiding outside to greet people, and the third brother still didn't know where he had gone.
The sisters-in-law didn't care about anything, and they always said, "Ask my sister-in-law, we don't know."
Anyway, the bride is here, it should be lively, and all these uncles and aunts should wipe their faces, but no one dares to make a fuss.
Yang Meili entered the new house, with a slumped face, and asked Qingshou in front of so many people: "Your family didn't even buy a new bed."
I still use your brother and sister-in-law’s bed.
Qingshou was at a frivolous age. How to coax his wife behind his back was another matter. But being humiliated like this in front of others made him unhappy immediately, "I already gave your family 10,000 yuan, why don't you stay here and make trouble?"
.”
Then when the onlookers saw the young couple chattering, they all left.
No one knew why the two were quarreling at home. Qingning had just sat at the table when she saw the door curtain of the new house was lifted and the bride rushed out in a bright red dress. Then she stood in the yard, looking around as if she was looking for someone.
Qingping also asked Qingning: "Who are you looking for?"
Before Qingping could speak, he heard the bride's shrill voice, "Jin Mancheng! Jin Mancheng! Come out!"
Qingning was stunned, and all the guests in the courtyard were stunned. Then the guests at the door stopped sitting and ran in to watch the fun.
The daughter-in-law who had just entered the house called her husband-in-law by his name. This was a rare and strange thing.
Lao Yang was going crazy. He just stood up and was about to stop him, but he saw the figure of the person moving and running in one direction.
Jin Mancheng's face was full of astonishment. When he didn't know what was happening, there were three "pah pah pah" sounds, and Yang Meili raised her hand and gave the newly appointed father-in-law three loud slaps on the ear.
Whose daughter-in-law beats her father-in-law?
In whose family the new daughter-in-law beats her father-in-law on her wedding day?
Jin Mancheng was slapped three times and he didn't even know why?
Lao Yang turned pale. He stood up and quickly pulled his daughter behind him. He patted the naughty kid on the back a few times and asked, "What are you doing?"
"His son beat me. I can't beat his son, so I'll beat him!" Yang Meili said confidently.
It turned out that the couple had an argument and started fighting, and then she couldn't beat her son-in-law, so she rushed out and beat her father-in-law in revenge.
Lao Yang quickly slapped himself in the face: "I'm sorry, in-laws, I didn't educate the child well."
Yingzi just watched to see how the boss and his wife would deal with it.
As a result, the couple didn't even fart, so they had to figure out how to proceed with the wedding. They even didn't even leave the door of their new house for cleaning.
She got up immediately and asked what else to eat. She felt ashamed.
Then the Jin family members left one after another. Even the uncles from the Meng family felt that Jin Mancheng was too cowardly. They didn't even eat, so they left directly.
In the end, half of the tables at the wedding banquet were empty.
Qing Ning went home and learned this from her mother, "You don't know, I was so blushing." Especially when Yan Yan was sitting next to her, she felt it was too embarrassing for the Jin family.
While they were talking about this, the Fourth Master's phone rang. It was Jin Mancheng calling, crying very pitifully: "Fourth Brother, if you are not here, I will not be able to live this life. The second, third, and fifth brothers are all here."
I can’t point it out... In front of so many people, I was slapped by my daughter-in-law, what dignity do I have? When I go out, no one takes my face seriously. No one cares..."
The fourth master asked him: "Who do you want to control it? How to control it?"
Qingyuan curled his lips: If your own son doesn't come out to take care of your wife, who do you expect to take care of it? If any of you say that the relationship is over now, then the rest of the matter will be easier to deal with. But at that time, I didn't even let go of anything. At this time, I said
What?
You are a close family, a dear son, a dear daughter-in-law, there is no place for others to interrupt.
Jin Mancheng choked up when asked by Fourth Master, "I...I am...I am not..."
Didn't say why.
From the perspective of Yingzi and Lin Yutong, they are more interested in watching the excitement.
Yingzi said: "Isn't she, Li Xian'er, capable? Back then, she dared to fight with her children all over the yard, but now?"
Yes!
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a fight, Jin Mancheng watched from the side.
Now that he was beaten by his wife, his son hid in the house and did not come out, just like the same.
Qingping said to her mother: "You are laughing at people now. According to what you said about 'retribution', will you be laughed at one day in the future?"
The speaker didn't mean it, and the listener didn't mean it either. The mother and daughter just laughed and passed.
But I didn’t expect that one sentence became a motto!
No matter how bad his wife is, he can still get a wife at least.
But some good young men, in the eyes of their parents, are just idiots who can't get a wife.
When Qingyuan and Qing'an were still commenting that Qingshou was better off getting married, they never thought that they would become a 'shame' to their parents because they were singles in the future.
Look! You can't even clean up the income, but I still have a daughter-in-law. What about you?
On the eighth day of June, the sun was scorching.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt the heat.
Lin Yutong went there first, and went after the old man got up at five o'clock in the morning. He took the summer shirt that he had embroidered for the old man with his own hands. Then he went to the kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles for the old man.
After receiving the instructions, Lin Yutong knelt down and kowtowed three times to the teacher, "You must live a long life."
Qin Guo's throat suddenly choked up. The simplest blessing words, kneeling down, suddenly took on weight. Heavy!
"Get up." Qin Guo pulled her up, "I don't care about these things..."
Master and apprentice sat facing each other, eating longevity noodles.
The old man said: "I didn't expect that I would receive such a blessing when I took in an expert pig farmer."
Lin Yutong smiled: "You were not willing to teach me at that time."
Who said that?!
The old man refused to admit it. When Zhou Yang came, the two started talking again.
When the birthday banquet started, Qin Guorao knew that many people would be disturbed, but he did not expect that it would disturb so many people.
There are many friends here who he met abroad. Later, he returned to China to teach in China, and many of the relationships faded away. Even the list of people he gave to his students was based on his last favor.
But what about now?
Many of these people came back from abroad. Those who did not receive the invitation asked old friends to bring them here. Not only did they come, they also brought their own children with them.
Everyone who met him was very polite and affectionate, with a flattering tone.
He was talking and laughing loudly, and it was nothing like the way he used to think of ways to make overseas phone calls and then get close to people. Back then, he showed off his face once for the sake of his students.
Now, this child has regained his face again.
In the excitement, when night came, I sent the old man back. Lin Yutong squatted next to him: "Teacher, do you have anything else to tell me?"
The old man waved his hand: "I have nothing to teach you anymore." In fact, there is nothing to teach you anymore, but when it comes to instructions, "I do have something to say..."
Lin Yutong nodded and held the old man's hand: "You tell me, I'll listen."
The old man often sighed: "Don't lose your original intention... Don't lose your original intention... Don't do such a flamboyant thing again... This time, this life is enough..."
Lin Yutong nodded, "I remember."
She turned to look at the book the old man had placed in her hand, which was about genetically modified genes.
This made him pause slightly, "Don't worry, I will always maintain a cautious attitude towards food safety."
The old man then smiled and said, "Go! Go get busy!"
Lin Yutong nodded, and when he came home, he sat on the sofa in a daze.
Fourth Master came out of the study: "You're back?"
"Yes!" Lin Yutong often breathed a sigh of relief, "Teacher understands."
The Fourth Master laughed and said, "If you live like him, you will understand everything you need to understand."
Tongtong was sincere in wishing his birthday this time. He really wanted to wish the old man a birthday. But it was not without reason that he celebrated his birthday in such a grand and public way.
She was celebrating the old man's birthday and expressing her attitude.
She has reservations about genetic modification.
The old man is the authority in this regard. As a student, I stand up to wish my teacher a happy birthday at this time. One is to support the old man. The other is to express my attitude to certain people.
On this matter, her attitude has always been prudent!
