"Mom, my daughter-in-law is also an educated youth who went to the countryside after all. She works with me all day long. She just wants to take the exam. She makes it sound like she can really pass the exam. If I don't let her go, the family will not be rebellious?" Ji Yang said a little impatient.
"Against what? Does she dare? What if she passes the exam? Your daughter-in-law will run away!" Zhang Yan hesitated and squeezed out this sentence.
In her opinion, marrying in is a member of their family, that is, a man who wants to serve Ji's family.
Women have to do laundry, cook, and have children, while men do hard work and earn work points to support the family.
"That's right." Sun Miaolan echoed, "The married male educated youths in the village also have to take the exam, and their daughters-in-law are making trouble. Who knows if they will come back?"
"Brother is going to college, what does sister-in-law mean, he won't come back?" Ji Yang looked over coldly.
"Your elder brother dare not come back!" Sun Miaolan stared, her face was livid.
"I didn't pass the exam, my sister-in-law cursed me to be a bachelor, and my mother asked us husband and wife to help me, how dare we make mistakes by ourselves? Can't we live on our own? So we have to work to raise the eldest brother's child?" Ji Yang said sternly. Face finished, "Mom, do you mean that?"
The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, even if she is partial, Zhang Yan doesn't care what she says to Ji Yang, the youngest son has a big temper, and if she turns against them, she has no place to cry, so she immediately said, "How could Mom mean that? Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense."
After finishing speaking, he just waved his hands, "Just take the test, how can it be so easy to take the university test? If you fail the test, you can live with you with peace of mind. You, a daughter-in-law, are not worry-free. If you listened to your mother back then, and That Erya..."
In the middle of her speech, she saw Ji Yang's darkening face, her voice became weaker and weaker, and she quickened her pace of leaving, "Mom, don't talk, go to work."
"Mom, wait for me." Sun Miaolan looked at Ji Yang, who was ridiculed and disdainful in his eyes. She didn't give her any good looks, and she didn't dare to say more, so she quickly followed.
Ji Yang walked forward and met Mu Weiwei. She looked embarrassed, pulled her lips, and said kindly, "People who come down from the city, if they pass the exam, they probably won't come back."
"Oh." He responded indifferently at first, and then said, "My daughter-in-law will definitely pass the exam, and I will support her when the time comes."
Mu Weiwei was stunned, and looked at the other person's expression that didn't seem to be fake, her expression changed suddenly, and she was even a little excited, "Aren't you afraid that she won't want you then? A student wouldn't be with you guys..."
"You think everyone is you?" Ji Yang looked disdainful, and walked away without looking at her again.
Mu Weiwei clenched her hanging fingers tightly, she was a little annoyed by the irony, she turned around and scolded him, "Just wait and see, you will definitely regret it!"
Ji Yang's footsteps didn't even pause, but Yang Xiang came out with a stern voice, "You're lazy again, I saw a man's shadow just now, you woman, are you hooking up with a man behind my back?"
What followed was endless bickering.
Since Ye Jiao received the news of the college entrance examination, she has worked harder to review, and some subjects have been consolidated for the fourth time.
Every time Ji Yang went back to the town, he would bring her back some books. Later, he didn't know how to get them in exchange for ex-book tickets, and bought her a few brand new textbooks, as well as a stack of exercises that he didn't know where they came from, which were very targeted. .
For the college entrance examination this time, she was flustered from the beginning to calm now.
that day.
There are dense crowds outside the examination room, some are husbands and wives waiting outside, and some are parents waiting outside.
Watching them go in, the eyes are full of anticipation.
Passing the college entrance examination means that they can find a better job, and even be assigned a job by the state. They are cultural intellectuals.
Mu Weiwei and Ye Jiao were still in the same examination room, separated by an aisle, and the examination papers were handed out quickly.
When they got the exam papers, everyone scanned them. They hadn’t touched the knowledge points for a long time, and many of them had been forgotten. Some people were lucky, some were anxious, and some were disappointed.
Mu Weiwei belongs to the kind of collapse. After giving birth to a child, she was tortured so badly, how could she have time to study? Yang Xiang would also take the books she found with great difficulty to light the fire.
I don't know at a glance.
Glancing at Ye Jiao from the corner of the eye, the other party was already answering the question, there was no panic on his face, and his hands were not considered to be writing.
Pack!
Mu Weiwei gritted her teeth, cursed from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time hinted that she should not be influenced by her.
It wasn't until the bell rang for the end of get out of class that everyone put away their pens.
After collecting the test papers and leaving the classroom, various discussions kept coming.
"I can't even understand the title, it's over."
"It's too difficult, what are the tests?"
"What does the first question mean?"
…
Hearing everyone's discussion, Mu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief again. It seemed that everyone was like this. She followed the crowd out of the examination room.
Ye Jiao was right in front of her, and the other party stopped when they got out of the gate, and looked among the crowd.
"Daughter-in-law, here." Ji Yang stood up from under the big tree, and walked over with his hat.
Seeing him, Ye Jiao slowly smiled and walked towards him.
"Drink some water." Ji Yang didn't ask about the grades, handed her the water bottle, and took the bag in her hand.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" She raised her head and asked while drinking water.
"How long has it been? Are you hungry? I'll take you to have a good meal." Someone next to him was wearing army green clothes and riding a bicycle. He pulled her towards him with an intimate gesture.
"What to eat?" she asked.
"I'll buy you whatever you want to eat." Ji Yang looked down at her, very generously, "I will nourish your brain well."
She laughed out loud, with a soft smile on the corner of her lips, and handed the water bottle in her hand to his arms.
Mu Weiwei saw this scene in her eyes, and it hurt her eyes. Seeing the two walking towards the state-run restaurant, she could only touch her stomach, and hid under the nearby tree with the dry food .
This time, she took the exam by herself, and Ji Lou's family wished that she would fail the exam and go home to take care of the child.
But she doesn't!
She will definitely work hard, must get out of that place, and never go back!
at the same time.
Ji Yang and Ye Jiao had already sat down at the state-run restaurant. He also ordered three dishes, and she felt a pain in her stomach, "That's enough, two dishes are enough."
"Eat more." He gave her the chopsticks without paying attention.
Ye Jiao looked at the plate of braised fish in brown sauce, it was delicious, delicious, but it was hard for her to say, "Such a small fish is several times more expensive than what we sold. The money..."
"Do you understand if you can't eat without talking and sleeping without talking?" Ji Yang tapped it twice with his chopsticks, and looked at her quite seriously.
A word suddenly appeared, Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Where did you see it?"
"I don't care how I see it." Ji Yang was a little proud.
"I don't see how peaceful you are when you sleep." She deliberately refuted him. It was strange that there seemed to be no generation gap between her and Ji Yang, and there was an unspeakable tacit understanding. He could always know what she wanted the first time. To express the meaning and be able to pick up the words.
"It's broad daylight, what's on your mind? Daughter-in-law, you're thinking too... hey." Ji Yang slowly picked up a piece of fish, shook his head, and sighed.
It seems that I have no choice but to let go.
Ye Jiao didn't mean anything at all, he misunderstood it abruptly, and she was outside again, her face flushed, and she couldn't help kicking him under the table, "What are you talking about?!"
"They're all human, you still have to be patient." Ji Yang glanced to the side quickly, his tone still coaxing.
Someone really looked over.
Ye Jiao stabilized herself, wishing she could bury her head in the bowl.
The exam will continue in the afternoon.
Mu Weiwei had no intention of doing the questions, so she couldn't help but keep observing Ye Jiao, who was seriously answering the questions in every subject.
Before the time came, she had stopped writing, and she would check it twice at this time.
The more stable she was, the more panicked she was, because she never felt that she was worse than Ye Jiao, or even far surpassed her.
It was this kind of mentality that made her fall into a vicious circle without even finishing the questions in the next exam.
Exams are naturally a mess.
But Ye Jiao finished the exam with ease, and there were few questions that she didn't know how to do, and more questions that she was sure of.
today.
Ye Jiao also woke up early, cooked breakfast for the chicken, and went to town with him.
There are more and more people buying and selling on the black market. It is said that there is news from above that they can apply for self-employment.
In this case, people are also bolder.
However, when we came to the stall today, there were already four people selling bean sprouts along the way, and one of them was an old lady who used to raise mung beans for Ji Yang.
There was only one before, but he didn't come for a few days, and he added three.
"Selling bean sprouts, twenty-five cents a catty, fresh bean sprouts."
"Two cents a catty of bean sprouts, sell bean sprouts."
…
When there are too many people, vicious competition will be formed. Everyone does not want to lose money, so they naturally press down to the lowest price.
Ye Jiao followed Ji Yang with the fish in her arms, and couldn't help feeling worried.
During this period of time, she was preparing for the exam, and Ji Yang was doing all the work at home, so naturally she didn't have time to sell.
They get a lot today. If they cost 20 cents a catty, they won’t be able to make much money. Recently, mung beans are very expensive, and they cost 1.2 yuan to buy a catty.
Converted down, selling ten catties only earns a few cents.
"What should I do?" She had already started to panic, "We can't finish eating by ourselves, what if we can't buy it?"
In the end, if they can't sell them all, they may have to sell half and give them away, and they will lose money.
Ji Yang took his time, put down the bean sprouts, and then put the fish on, and asked her to sit on the side.
"How do you sell the bean sprouts?" Someone came over and asked.
Ye Jiao stood up again and walked towards him, only to see Ji Yang calmly said, "Three cents a catty."
"Two cents over there, you buy three cents, who will sell it?" The man turned cold, turned his head and left.
Ye Jiao became anxious.
After half an hour, there were not many people who bought it. Some old customers came to buy fish and then sent bean sprouts.
But the bean sprouts weighed dozens of catties, and the fish that had been saved for half a month was only twenty catties. After all, the fish would be caught less and less. If this continued, the bean sprouts would not be sold out.
The most hateful thing is that some people lower the price, and some people finally sell it for 15 cents a catty.
Ye Jiao was so angry that she said, "It's a loss of fifty cents!"
"That's right. We won't sell it if we lose money. He sells it alone, and the market belongs to him." Ji Yang looked at the old woman not far away, who was busy collecting money and sold it quickly. The mung beans she grew herself, Can afford it.
Others dare not lower the price, and everyone is waiting for this little money to support their families.
However, Ji Yang still has an advantage. After all, fish are big, and not everyone can catch so many.
Ye Jiao was collecting the money, looking at the bill in her hand, her heart felt a little more stable, but when she thought about the cost of the bean sprouts, which cost more than ten yuan, her face wrinkled.
They haven't been credited for a while.
Ji Yang was not in a hurry, when the number of people became less and less, the old lady had almost sold out the bean sprouts, and he had also sold out the fish.
At this time, he lowered the price.
Instead of fifteen cents, he got down to twenty cents.
The remaining three people saw it, no way, if they don't sell it, they won't be able to sell it, but two cents a catty is the bottom line.
The market has restored healthy competition.
But the rest of them have just arrived, and most of them are still familiar with Ji Yang. With the same price, he has obviously more customers.
Not losing money is Ye Jiao's best idea, and she is naturally excited.
"You take it."
"Look at the fresh bean sprouts."
"Sister, is it one catty or two catties today?"
…
The remaining dozens of catties were sold out quickly, and Ye Jiao counted them, and it seemed that he had earned a few dollars.
"Eleven dollars today..."
"Hide it, daughter-in-law, are you afraid that no one will miss it?" Ji Yang freed one hand, and tapped her head with bent fingers.
