Everbright Pharmaceuticals is very famous in Huanshan County, and many people think that the ordinary employees there are better than ordinary teachers, so when they heard that Ye Ning joined Everbright Pharmaceuticals, the head teacher swallowed the persuasion.
"Your roommate is very good, work hard in the future." Everbright Pharmaceutical, what a job, if she changes, she is willing to go to the pharmaceutical factory.
"I know, thank you teacher. I'm here today mainly for Ye Lan's affairs." Her class teacher is also Ye Lan's class teacher.
"I'm planning to talk to you about this. Ye Lan's grades are very good. She is the first in the high school entrance examination and is still in the top 20 in the county. She can definitely enter a technical secondary school. I talked to her last time and she also wants to go to a technical secondary school. What do you mean?" Ye Ning's mother has returned to the city, and now her father is gone, so Ye Ning has become the head of their family.
"My dad left some money, and I also go to work to get my salary, so there are no problems in life. I prefer Xiaolan to go to college." Ye Ning said what she was thinking.
Technical secondary school is different from high school. After graduating from technical secondary school, you can assign jobs like college students. At this time, many people think that going to college is a waste of time. After all, technical secondary school graduates in more than two years, and can get salary several years in advance.
From the current point of view, it is indeed more cost-effective to choose a technical secondary school, but Ye Ning knows that in the future, technical secondary school education will gradually be eliminated, and all walks of life have higher and higher requirements for academic qualifications, especially for government agencies. It will be difficult to get promoted in the future, and of course she cannot tell the teacher these words.
"It's always good to study for a few more years. Otherwise, why would the country open a university? Xiaolan knows how to study, and she will definitely be admitted to a university in the future. As a sister, I hope she has a better future." Ye Ning said with a smile.
All right, everyone in the family has said so. Of course, as a teacher, you can't persuade students to go to school less.
"Ye Lan's grades are good. Both No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School have greeted me. Knowing your family's difficulties, No. 1 Middle School is willing to reduce tuition fees. After No. 2 Middle School knows about it, on the basis of tuition reduction and exemption, there will also be food subsidies every month. , which is equivalent to free high school for these three years, which will greatly reduce your pressure." The head teacher told Ye Ning the good news.
"I'll discuss this with Xiaolan." Ye Lan is the one who reads, and she has to like it.
At this time, the school is not divided into key and ordinary schools like in the future. The biggest difference between No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School is that No. 1 Middle School has new teaching buildings and dormitories, and the environment is better than No. 2 Middle School, while No. 2 Middle School has old teaching buildings and dormitories are also very old. It is said that the canteen of No. 1 Middle School is better than their No. 2 Middle School, and other things like teachers are similar.
"What do you think?" Ye Ning found Ye Lan, "I am from No. 2 Middle School. Although my teacher treats me very well, I have to say that the environment in No. 1 Middle School is indeed better than No. 2 Middle School."
"Sister, I am a farmer. I have been working in the fields since I was a child. I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but what happened to the environment? I am going to study, not to enjoy happiness."
The implication is that she wants to go to No. 2 Middle School.
"Aside from the food subsidy, think carefully about which school you want to go to." Ye Ning didn't want Ye Lan to choose No. 2 Middle School just because of the subsidy.
"I really want to go to No. 2 Middle School." Ye Lan said seriously.
Once Ye Lan followed Ye Qingshan to visit her sister in the city. She wandered outside No. 2 Middle School for a long time. Said.
After confirming that she really wanted to go to No. 2 Middle School, Ye Ning didn't say much, and asked her to sign up and pay the fee.
After getting the letter of introduction, the sisters told the teacher that they were going home.
"If I don't leave, I won't leave. Why can't I pass the exam because I'm a girl?"
Ye Xuan and Ye Lan looked at each other, and asked in a low voice, "Is that your classmate?"
"Yeah. Li Aihua is in the village next door to us. Her father said that if she is admitted to a technical secondary school, she will study. If she fails to pass the exam, forget it." Seeing Li Aihua being dragged away from school by her father, Ye Lan said in a low voice: "She has someone older than her." My two-year-old brother, who failed the high school entrance examination for two years in a row, became our classmate this year, and failed this time, it seems that her family intends to let her go home so that her son can continue to repeat his studies."
Ye Ning was a little chilled when she saw the teachers and classmates next to her seemed to be surprised.
What Ye Lan felt was that if her mother was still there, if she hadn't been admitted to a technical secondary school, maybe her mother would not let her go to high school, right? Maybe Dad will let her go to school, maybe...
"What are you thinking about? Let's go, go home." Ye Ning pushed Ye Lan.
"It's nothing." Ye Lan glanced at her sister, "If Mom knows that Dad is not here, will she be sad? Will she come back?"
Mother
"Why are you talking about her? Go home quickly. I have to go to work tomorrow. After a few days, Xiaoan will be on vacation. Let's go to the county town together." There is not much writing about Li Fang in the book. Anyway, the last three siblings are all dead. She never showed up, and Ye Ning guessed that she must have remarried and started a new family.
Seeing that Ye Ning's face was not very good-looking, Ye Lan didn't dare to speak again. As soon as the two of them walked out of the school gate, Li Aifang, who was still crying just now, followed her father back home with blank eyes.
"She's resigned to her fate, otherwise what can she do?" Ye Lan noticed Ye Ning's gaze and said lightly.
Although Ye Ning felt sorry for her, there was nothing she could do to help her, so she sighed softly, "Go home."
There are some things in the village that can't be kept secret. In the afternoon, Ye Ning found out from the mother-in-law next door that the person her step-grandmother introduced to her had gone to someone else to propose marriage. The woman's family also agreed, and it was Li Aifang from the next-door village.
Li Aifang? Isn't that the female classmate who was crying in the morning, who must be about the same age as Ye Lan, married and had children at the age of sixteen
What's more interesting is that the eldest aunt came here to mock Ye Ning, "Some people think that they are noble after reading a few books, and they are not just farmers. Is the son of a big cadre still short of a wife? If such a good family doesn't marry, why not marry her?" They said we harmed you, and we were kind enough to treat you as a donkey liver and lung. Now they have found a girl from the next village, as long as they agree to get married, their family will provide her with high school, and if she can be admitted to college, they will also provide her brother with a job. It’s a great thing If you drop it and throw it outside, the book will be read in vain.”
Thinking of the job opportunity offered by the man's family, the aunt felt distressed for a while. If Ye Ning was willing, the job would be her son's, and it was all because Ye Ning was ignorant.
"Then marry your daughter. Ye Fenfen will be 20 this year, right? She just wanted to keep her daughter to help with the work at home, and her flowering period was delayed. I've never seen such a mother."
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are too many people who come to our house to propose marriage. That's why we, Fenfen, look down on us." The aunt yelled.
Ye Fangming and Wu Xianfeng's luck is still good. The three children they gave birth to are all healthy. The eldest is a son and has already married a wife. The third child is Ye Fenfen, who is one year older than Ye Ning. If you don't go to school in the countryside, you are already considered old. Many families have already seen their girls at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and got engaged early. The reason why Ye Fenfen still stays Up to now, she has not married, just because Wu Xianfeng wants to keep her daughter to work at home for a few more years.
"Mother Fenfen, this girl is still going to marry while she's in bloom. After staying for a long time, she'll become an old girl. She won't be able to get married at that time. You will raise her for the rest of her life?" The woman who came back from the mountain passed by, heard some of their conversations, and interrupted road.
"Why not, I'm already optimistic about her, and I'll get married in a few months." Wu Xianfeng smiled triumphantly, and then said to Ye Ning, "Tell your father, as an uncle, don't forget the red envelope."
Those who heard her words were a little surprised. They didn't expect that she was really willing to marry off her daughter. Many families with good conditions came to her door before, but she pushed them all away, and she didn't know who could make Wu Xianfeng nod.
After dinner in the evening, Ye Ning and Ye Lan Ye Eucalyptus sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, and the mother-in-law next door came in with a look of great news.
"Do you know who your aunt is showing Fenfen?" The mother-in-law asked in a low voice even though there was no one outside the yard, and there was no outsider in the yard.
"I don't know, I don't have any contact with them." Ye Ning really had no contact with them, Ye Fenfen was going to get married only today when Wu Xianfeng told her.
"Wang Fugui from Xiaokeng Village, do you know? They have two daughters and one son. They were poor and couldn't afford to eat. Later, they built a house with the eldest daughter's gift. Now life is a little better, and they want to marry their son a wife." , but the family has no money, so I put my idea on the second daughter, and let out the word to find those who have daughters, saying that they are willing to change marriages with them. It's the right time to get married." The mother-in-law glanced around, lowered the volume, and spoke in a low voice, "It turns out that your aunt wanted to marry Fenfen to that fool in the town, but he didn't see it. Go to Fenfen."
Swap? In the early years, people who were so poor that they could not even afford to eat changed their relatives. It has been a long time since I heard of it.
"How do you know this?"
"Jin Xiuli said that the whole family is not easy to get along with, so stay away from it in the future, so as not to suffer." The mother-in-law told Ye Ning.
"I know, don't worry." She will go to work tomorrow, and the next time she comes back will be July, when the time comes to set up a tomb for Ye Qingshan, the three of them will rarely go home.
Ye Ning sighed and said it was reform and opening up, but in fact the countryside is still very ignorant now, and it is difficult to disobey the orders of parents, such as Ye Lan's classmate Li Aifang, or Ye Fenfen.
Ye Lan, who was washing dishes in the back room, only heard a few words, and only asked Ye Ning what she said after her mother-in-law left.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Ye Lan was very thankful that her parents were sensible, even though her mother was not very kind to her, she still let her go to school.
Ye Ning patted Ye Lan on the shoulder, telling her not to think about it, "So you have to study hard, go to university, get out of this mountain, and see the wider and wonderful world outside."
The next day, Ye Ning got up early to wait for the bus, told Ye Lan over and over again that she had sold the pig and took care of herself and her younger brother, and then reluctantly left. ,,,
