Jiang Xiaobai didn't care whether Jiang Honglan had listened or not, after saying a few words, he was ready to turn around and leave for a rest.

"Wait," Jiang Honglan called to stop Jiang Xiaobai.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Xiaobai turned around and asked, only to see Jiang Honglan pull out a small purse from the middle of the quilt at the top of the kang.

Count out more than ten yuan from the middle and hand it to Jiang Xiaobai.

"Here, let you spend it at school." Jiang Honglan said.

"Really?" Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, what Jiang Honglan hated the most was her younger brother, and now she was willing to give her money.

Jiang Honglan is now at work, and it is estimated that it will not exceed 40 yuan a month, and most of the money will be handed over to Jiang's mother.

I was able to save more than ten yuan, so I can imagine how difficult it was, and I was willing to give it to myself.

"Take it, I think you didn't spend less money when you came back this time. You took your two children to eat and drink outside all day,"

Jiang Honglan said.

"Then I have it?" Jiang Xiaobai said tentatively.

"Take it quickly, or I'll regret it." Jiang Honglan felt a little distressed as she tugged at the ten yuan in her hand.

She didn't even know how she took it out with a twitch of her brain.

She has saved more than ten yuan for more than half a year, and she is waiting to see if she can add more in the summer to buy a real shirt.

She has been envious for a long time.

"Haha, no need, I have enough money. I do research with a professor at school. There is an extra subsidy. It costs tens of dollars a month."

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Really, when you go to school and help others at the same time, they can subsidize you dozens of dollars a month."

Jiang Honglan's eyes widened.

"Of course, we rely on our brains to make money." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"Get lost." Jiang Honglan scolded.

Jiang Xiaobai went out and closed the door, Jiang Honglan carefully put the money into her purse and put it away.

The Dacron shirt, which was about to fly away, is back.

She could even imagine the envious eyes of the female workers around Xia Tian after she put on the denim shirt.

Early the next morning, it was Jiang's father who helped the two first carry the bag and send Jiang Xiaobai to the station.

Without any explanation, he stuffed 30 yuan into Jiang Xiaobai's hand.

"If you don't have enough money, write a letter to your family or call the post office at the entrance of the alley, and Dad will post the money to you."

Jiang Tieshan said, and handed the bag to Jiang Xiaobai.

"Okay, Dad, take care of your health." Jiang Xiaobai reminded, he did not refuse the money handed over by Jiang's father.

"Dad, you go back." Jiang Xiaobai walked towards the station while waving his hands.

"It's okay, you can go in." Jiang's father still said taciturnly.

Jiang Xiaobai walked into the crowd, and his figure slowly disappeared from Jiang's father's sight. Jiang's father rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure that Jiang Xiaobai would never be found again.

After waiting for a while, he turned around and left the station, but when he left, his back seemed a little hunched.

Starting in the morning, it was afternoon when he returned to Jianhua Village. As soon as he returned to Jianhua Village, Jiang Xiaobai found Wang Meng in the office.

In fact, Wang Meng's state is a little bit more wrong than what Wang Chao said.

When Jiang Xiaobai entered the room, Wang Meng didn't notice that he had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were fixed on the pen holder on the table in a daze, wondering what he was thinking about?

"Mengzi," Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand in front of Wang Meng's eyes, and Wang Meng finally realized it.

"Brother Bai, why are you back?" Wang Meng asked in a daze.

"Wang Chao said that you were not in the right state after you came back from home. I'll come back and see what's going on with you."

As Jiang Xiaobai said, he threw the bag in Wang Meng's sofa on Wang Meng's sofa, and then he poured a glass of water from the water glass and drank it.

"I'm fine..." Wang Meng looked at Jiang Xiaobai's dusty look, and his heart warmed. Jiang Xiaobai hasn't come home for half a year?

It hasn't been long since I went back home. After hearing about my affairs, I guess I rushed back immediately.

It's just that Jiang Xiaobai interrupted the words before he finished speaking.

"I didn't even eat on the train at noon, and I was starving to death. Come and accompany me to the cafeteria to have some food." After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he walked outside.

A smile appeared on Wang Meng's face, and he followed.

As soon as the two of them showed up, the news of Jiang Xiaobai's return soon spread throughout Canned Educated Youth.

However, Wang Chao and the others knew that Jiang Xiaobai was a man. After Wang Meng and the two went to the cafeteria, they were very wise not to disturb them.

When we arrived at the small private room in the cafeteria, the food came out quickly, and Jiang Xiaobai was really hungry.

He ate voraciously and waited until he was half full before pouring wine for Wang Meng.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jiang Xiaobai picked up the cup and touched Wang Meng, and drank it down in one gulp.

"I..." Wang Meng also drank a glass and poured it for the two of them.

Then he drank another glass, and then slowly began to speak.

"My family is from the Northeast. There is a custom in the Northeast called pulling gangtao. I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Wang Meng spoke, that is, Jiang Xiaobai, otherwise, he would never have told this matter to outsiders.

"A custom called cheating? I really don't know, tell me?" Jiang Xiaobai was a little puzzled.

Although he had some guesses, the custom of "pull gangs" that Wang Meng talked about must have something to do with Wang Meng's matter.

However, in the previous life, he didn't know much about the Northeast, and some customs were passed down, and gradually disappeared.

He really didn't know what this "helping trick" was.

"Putting gangs is a custom in Northeast China, or to be precise, it's a weird marriage habit..."

As Wang Meng said, Jiang Xiaobai gradually understood.

It turns out that some families who are "helping out" are those whose husbands are seriously ill and unable to support their wives and elders. After obtaining the consent of their husbands, they find other single men who are poor and cannot afford a wife to take care of the whole family.

Men help others to support their families and sleep on the same kang with their wives and husbands.

The woman sleeps in the middle, with a man on the left and a man on the right.

The helper and the woman have a child, and they also call their father father.

The original meaning of "pull gang tao" refers to a form of tying a horse-drawn carriage, but another meaning has been extended in the northeast.

Men who go to other people's houses to play tricks are also called gangsters, or gangsters.

The reason for this kind of bad marriage habit is that the family is poor and can't survive, so they have to do it as a last resort.

The other reason is that in Northeast China at that time, women were really a scarce resource. Many poor men could not afford to marry a wife, so they could only live in this way.

Helping gangs is different from extramarital affairs or male three children. It is recognized by the people. Although it is disgraceful, it is by no means dirty.

Although this family model is very weird, it is a reasonable existence, all for life.
