Looking at the dilapidated classroom in front of him and the students who were slaughtered, Han Mingyan really wanted to find a place where no one was there to cry...

How could this be? How did you end up in such a field? She should have stayed in the capital comfortably and became a teacher of a key middle school that everyone respects!

What made Han Mingyan even more depressed was that after returning to her hometown, her parents couldn't wait to find her a husband-in-law. She was twenty-four this year, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and she was twenty-five after the new year.

In this day and age, especially in rural areas, if a girl's family is not married by the age of twenty-five, she is an old girl who cannot be married in the eyes of others!

Even if she is a university graduate, even if she is a formal people's teacher, she can't change the truth that the old girl is worthless, and it will become a joke for people after dinner.

If anyone has an old girl, that's a shame!

Although Han Mingyan repeatedly stressed to her parents that she did not want to get married yet, she had other plans for the future. However, her parents refused to listen to her, and they were still busy trying to find a suitable family for her.

The reason why they are so interested in Han Mingyan's marriage is not only because of the unpleasant reputation of an old girl in the family, but also because they want to take advantage of the fact that their daughter is not too old and a college graduate, Still have a formal job, find a good in-law's family, and no matter how much more betrothal gifts are ordered, it's better to marry Han Biao a daughter-in-law!

Han Biao is twenty-two years old this year, but he doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet!

Because their family is poor and their reputation is not very good, no good girl from a good family is willing to marry into their family.

However, Han Biao's heart is high, mainly because the girls of the old Han family are all good-looking. He has his own group of sisters as reference, and of course he doesn't like the ugly girl.

In this way, Han Biao's marriage has been hanging up and down, and it has not been resolved until now.

Han Long is still in prison now, and it is estimated that it is abolished. Han Zhide and his wife are all counting on Han Biao now. Seeing that their son is twenty-two and he has not yet married a wife, the old couple is naturally anxious, and can't wait to marry his son a wife and make his son a family.

In fact, the two of them had long hoped to rely on their daughters to find more dowry gifts from their in-laws, so that they could marry their sons. It's just that Han Mingyan has been staying in the capital all these years, never coming back, nor writing to them, and she doesn't reply when they write to her.

The capital was far away from them, and they couldn't catch Han Mingyan even if they wanted to. So even if she is not reconciled, she can't help her.

But it's different now, Han Mingyan is back!

She is their daughter, and they have the final say in marriage matters!

As a result, Han Zhide and Hu Huifang began to get busy, inquiring about people in town with good conditions and willing to spend money, and preparing to marry Han Mingyan...

In a fit of anger, Han Mingyan moved out of the house and moved to the school's dormitory. However, the school's dormitory was in very poor condition, and the low and dilapidated adobe house was airy. You have to wrap your head when you go to bed at night, or you will catch a cold when you wake up the next morning.

When I wake up every morning, the water basin in the house is frozen. I can imagine how cold it is in that house.

Moreover, the dormitory is not one teacher, one room, one bed, but a large kang, and several teachers slept on a kang.

When going to bed at night, some of these teachers snored, gritted their teeth, and talked in their sleep, and their hygiene habits were not good. They didn't wash their feet before going to bed at night.

At night, the house not only smelled of kang caves, but also had a strong smell of stinky feet, which made Han Mingyan, who loves clean, miserable.

The food is also bad!

The school cafeteria still seems to be stuck at difficult times standards. On weekdays, I don’t even cook rice, it’s all dark and thick sorghum rice, and occasionally I cook a second rice, even if I’m improving my meals.

Moreover, the two rices were also half millet and half rice. There were rice husks, pebbles, and worms in the rice. You could eat them and eat them.

The dishes are also clear soup and clear water, and there is no oily smell at all. Occasionally, I can cook a meat dish by adding a few thin slices of meat to the vegetarian dish. The thin slices of meat are transparent under the sun.

This kind of life is vastly different from her life in the capital. It's like a sky and an underground. It's not the life she wants at all!

In the capital, she lived in the brick house of Qingtang Washe. Burning briquettes every day makes the house warm, like spring. Every meal is a combination of meat and vegetables, the net is delicious, and there is no meal to deal with.

Look now, and think about the past, she even has the heart to die.

Now, Han Mingyan lives every day like a year, and often hides in the bed and weeps at night. Sometimes she even wanted to leave here desperately, the big deal was that she didn't want this job, and then ran to a new place to start a new life.

Anyway, she has money in her hand, more than 18,000 yuan, and there are so many valuable things! Even if she doesn't have a job, it's enough for her to spend most of her life...

However, this kind of thinking is immature after all, and it has not yet reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted. She didn't want to give up her job so soon, so she could only wait slowly, looking for an opportunity...

In a blink of an eye, winter break is here.

Just after the winter vacation, the eldest sister's family couldn't wait to come to the capital. Ready to go back to the old business and continue to sell seafood and mushrooms.

Last year, their family made a lot of money here. After tasting this sweetness, of course they will make persistent efforts and are ready to make a big vote again.

Wang Wenyuan's family also followed, because Zhang Shuzhen missed her grandchildren and granddaughter so badly, she was thinking about coming over to have a look, and the chaos kept clamoring to come. Wang Wenyuan saw that the autumn harvest was over at home, and all the poultry had been sold. After a long winter, there was nothing to do at home, so he stayed at home. So, the two families went all the way and came to the capital together.

Han Mingxiu naturally welcomed so many relatives at once.

The eldest uncle's family and the eldest sister's family live in the courtyard. The eldest uncle and aunt lived in the east room of the main room, Lin Hongwei and his wife led a few children in the middle room of the main room, and Da Chao lived alone in the west room of the main room.

Gao Guangbin and his wife lived in the east wing with their two youngest sons, and Niuniu led their three younger sisters in the west wing.

Fortunately, the courtyard is spacious enough that the three families live together, leaving the front concierge unoccupied!

However, the front concierge also came in handy right away.

Because Gao Guangbin's family came to do business, Han Mingxiu, for convenience, did not let them go to the corner building courtyard to pick up the goods, but put in 10,000 catties of hairy crabs and 10,000 catties of fresh mushrooms from "friends". in the front door.

When they sell, just pick it up at the front door every day...

The second day after arriving in the capital, Gao Guangbin's family went out to do business.

Seeing them doing business, he was also moved, so he secretly persuaded his parents to tell Han Mingxiu that they would also go out and try.

Han Mingxiu didn't have the heart to let uncle and auntie go out to sell on the street in the cold weather, but auntie had to go and couldn't stop them. I had no choice but to buy a tricycle for their family and let them go...

Just like last year, the eldest brother-in-law led a few daughters out to sell goods, and the eldest sister was at home watching her two younger sons. Han Mingxiu also brought Yaoyao and Dashuang and Xiaoshuang back to the courtyard for a while every day, and talked to the two sisters.

The sisters can only reunite once a year, and naturally there are endless things to say when they get together.

Han Mingxiu asked the eldest sister about the situation in her hometown. The eldest sister told her that everything was fine in her hometown, but the second uncle's house was a little noisy.

Han Mingyan from the second uncle's family has returned from graduation and is working as a Chinese teacher in the town middle school. The second uncle and second aunt are rushing to find her husband's house...

When Han Mingxiu heard the news, she sneered and said, "Han Mingyan has such a high temperament, how can she be willing to find a partner in the countryside? I'm afraid that her father and mother are wasting her time, and she can't agree."

Han Mingcui said disapprovingly, "That's not necessarily true. If she was still in the capital, the second uncle and second aunt wouldn't be able to deal with her, but isn't she going back to our old village now? Take a look, the second uncle and second aunt have designated her. She gets married, no matter how high-minded Xiao Yaner is, she is also the daughter of the old Han family, she can't help listening to her parents..."

Han Mingxiu glanced at the eldest sister and said in her heart, "You think everyone is as good as you are, just like Han Mingyan, if her parents force her to marry, she can get some rat medicine to kill her parents. ...

"Forget it, don't talk about them, let's talk about the children, how do these children study? What are the grades in the final exam?" Han Mingyu didn't like to hear them talk about the bad things about the second uncle's house, so he put this The topic was diverted.

Speaking of the children, Han Mingcui's face became a little more tangled, "Hey, just a few of their sisters, Niuniu is good at learning, Xiaoying is getting worse and worse, Xiaoli is average..."

When Han Mingxiu saw the eldest sister's disappointed expression, she opened her mouth to comfort her, "Eldest sister, I think both Xiaoying and Xiaoli are very obedient, and they must be very serious in their studies, but their brains are not smart enough, so they are a little bit in study. Poor, however, to measure a child's goodness is not only based on learning, but also on the child's character, ability, behavior habits, etc. I think these two children are not bad in other abilities except for learning, even if they are not good at learning. Well, it won't be bad in the future."

"I hope." Han Mingcui said dully, "I think about it too. It's not the insects and birds there. It's not enough to force them, so I don't force them at all. If they don’t study well, it’s better to just let it go! Anyway, I have spent all the money that should be provided to them, and I have said all the words to encourage them, even if they fail in the future, I will not regret it!”

"That's right, as parents, we have done what we should do. In the future, they won't be able to depend on us even if they get better." Han Mingyu agreed.

Han Mingxiu said, "All roads lead to Rome, and learning is not the only way out. Tell me, eldest sister, you might as well observe carefully and see what these two children like. Let's teach them according to their aptitude, and we will cultivate them in whatever way they like. Maybe they can do something else in the future!"

The eldest sister smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention it, I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiaoying likes to cook, don't say it, the food is really delicious, even if I cook, Xiaoli is willing to raise animals and serve chickens and ducks. Goose and so on, but who can’t cook and maintain a healthy mouth? How can this hobby be cultivated? What can it do?”

Han Mingxiu said, "Don't underestimate cooking and health care, if you really do it well, you can let Xiaoying be a chef or a nutritionist in the future, and Xiaoli to be a veterinarian, but nothing at all. Not as bad as your future as a teacher!"

"Hey, let's talk about it later. Anyway, it's still too early for them to graduate. No matter what they want to do in the future, they have to wait until they graduate from high school."

Compared with ordinary rural women, Han Mingcui is still a little knowledgeable.

In this era, ordinary women and comrades do not approve of letting their daughters study, but Han Mingcui is different. She not only supports her children to study with all her strength, but also requires her children to graduate from high school. It would be better if they can be admitted to college. As long as she is admitted to the university, she will sell the iron even if she is smashing the pot, but if she fails to pass the test, she must at least be a high school graduate, so as not to suffer the loss of less literacy in the future.

As for what the child will do in the future, he will have to wait until after high school graduation. No matter what he does, first of all, the cultural water in his stomach is enough!

Han Mingxiu supports the idea of ​​the eldest sister very much. Although Xiaoying Xiaoli, who is in her heart, can't get into any school, no matter what happens, let them read more books, learn more knowledge and culture, and broaden their thinking and understanding. vision, so that they can go to society and integrate with society in the future.

"Eldest sister, do you think the heads of these two girls look like their old Wang's family, and our old Han family's heads are not stupid?" Han Mingyu asked in confusion.

They hadn't talked about the eldest sister's ex-husband's house for a long time. Now that she mentioned it, Han Mingcui froze for a moment, feeling that what the second sister said was like something from a previous life. If she didn't mention it, she would almost forget that she was married. It's been a while!
