Chapter 896: : Go to the South to earn gift money (3 more)
At this time, Yang Yonghong didn't care about the distressed telegram fees. After she was admitted to Huaqing University, she also had a lot of weight at home. The Yang family was not stupid, and she had to discuss everything with her capable eldest daughter.
The same is true for Yang Yonghongs younger brothers marriage. Writing to Yang Yonghong is not to force her to pay, but to clarify the family situation and ask Yang Yonghong what to do with the marriage.
Yang Yonghong's younger brother is Yang Jie.
Just by hearing the name, you know how much the Yang family expects of him.
There are many cases of patriarchalism in rural areas, but the Yang family is very different. Yang Yonghong has been to the top since he was a child, and he has to go to Huaqing University for three years. Her brother was admitted to a junior college last year. Excellent.
There are many children in the Yang family, besides Yang Yonghong and Yang Jie, there are three more.
The third is in the first year of high school, and the remaining two years are even younger. It is not easy for a farmer family to have all the children in the family go to school.
Last year, when he waited for his scores, Yang Jie asked his eldest sister to go to college. He packed up his luggage and refused to repeat the school. He went back to the countryside to help his parents with farm work. He said that he didn't want to study and it was boring to study. The Yang family knew that he was thinking about his sister's future and must continue to study. The younger siblings cannot drop out of school at a young age. He is the eldest son in the family except Yang Yonghong.
No matter how Yang Yonghong persuaded him, Yang Jie was killed and did not repeat. Yang's father hung up Yang Jie for a while, but Yang Jie refused to go back to school.
Yang Yonghong was frugal at school, and scholarships were sent home. The Yang family was still very poor.
The family thinks that they are sorry for Yang Jie, but still want to keep this marriage to Yang Jie... The woman is Yang Jies junior high school classmate. After graduating from junior high school, she went to technical secondary school. After graduation, she taught in the town. She likes Yang Jie for several years. .
But the teachers salary was not high. The girl herself was willing to marry Yang Jie, but the womans family did not agree, and she was counting on the second womans gift money for the familys son to marry a wife.
This is not only the case in North Hebei Province, but also in many places.
Rural families are willing to ask their daughters to read so many books, and it is not uncommon for them not to treat their daughters as straws.
But if we don't receive the bride price, how can our son get married?
The woman is a teacher. To marry Yang Jie, an unemployed rural youth, she cant let go of her previous feelings.
Yang Jie also likes girls.
If you like it, you can't bear to be embarrassed by a girl, and won't say anything to persuade the woman not to follow him with the bride price. Yang Jie never thought of the trick of cooking cooked rice with raw rice!
But he didn't want his parents to be embarrassed.
Yang Jie knew what the family conditions were. Although his sister saved the scholarship and sent it back home, she didn't even pay the debt she owed before. The parents meant to borrow money to buy the four major items. Yang Jie didnt want to continue to take on debts at home. He was thinking about waiting for a job after the autumn harvest. He heard from a classmate who graduated from junior high school and became a truck driver saying that the South is so profitable. .
Today, Yang Jie is here to discuss with his partner, to see if the marriage can be delayed for a few months.
He smiled bitterly:
"Yang Jie, we can do our business anytime, but my brother can't wait any longer."
When to get married is secondary.
The woman's family needs the Yang family's gift money to manage her son's marriage.
The pressure on Yang Jies target is also great. She has been working for less than a year. The salary of the new teacher is not high. She has not married yet, so her salary is paid to the family and she has no savings.
"Or, I'll ask the principal to advance half a year's salary first, and you can take it back and collect it in the bride price..."
Yang Jies object is considered for him, but Yang Jie knows the situation in the towns middle school. Its not bad if he doesnt owe his wages. How could he advance his wages!
The words of breaking up rolled in my throat several times, and I couldn't say it.
After graduating from the Teachers College, Yang Jie returned to his hometown for him, and refused a better marriage for him. He could only say that he would think of another way.
Yang Yonghong's telegram arrived at this time.
Yang Yonghong said in the telegram that he asked Yang Jie to open a letter of introduction and buy a ticket to go to Yangcheng.
"Sisters and brothers earn a lottery together."
Yang Jie read this sentence on the Yang Yonghong telegram repeatedly, carefully put the telegram in his pocket, and strode home-this is a family, regardless of each other, the eldest sister has to go to the south to do odd jobs for his marriage during the summer vacation. He has nothing to regret if he doesn't go to university. The strength of men is always stronger than that of women. He stays in his hometown and works better than his elder sister Yang Yonghong stays in his hometown.
When Yang Jie went home to talk about the situation, the Yang family and his wife were relieved.
The eldest girl has an idea.
"You tell her daughter, our family will take the gift money and let her family wait."
Yang Jie nodded, "I told her that when I wait until the National Day, when I haven't made the gift money, I won't delay her."
The Yang family's heart is very bitter.
When Yang Jie said so, they also listened. I hope Yang Yonghong's idea is right, and he can really collect enough money for the wedding gift before the National Day. When the time comes, they will not be able to make up enough. They certainly can't just watch the marriage go badly. They must try their best to make money when they borrow money and sell blood... They don't think they are great. Most of the parents in Huaguo are like this, and they can't help their sons. Marrying a daughter-in-law is their failure.
According to local custom, Yang Yonghong was to marry Yang Yonghong in exchange for the gift money.
Yang Yonghong will have great prospects in the future, so how can the Yang family treat her like this.
It is even more impossible to ask Sister Yang Jie to go, the 15-year-old girl is only in the first year of high school!
Outsiders say that there is something wrong with the Yang family, and the children in the family are sending them to school, especially Yang Yonghong has been repeating for three years. If it werent for the final admission to Huaqing University, everyone around him would have killed Yangs jokes.
Now some people are muttering that the Yang familys husband and wife are stupid.
With Yang Jie's results, after two years of repeating studies, he will definitely be able to get into a decent university!
Fortunately, Yang Yonghong was really striving, and he sent money to his home in his freshman year, saying it was a scholarship. The Yang family can only pin their hopes on Yang Yonghong, and a big girl can be used by his son. Yang Jie wants to tell him to go out to work, but the Yang family is not at ease. People from the countryside have never traveled far, so they don't know what the outside world is like.
Yang Yonghong sent a telegram to ask Yang Jie to go, but the family had no objection.
Yang Jie opened a letter of introduction, bought a train ticket, took two clothes, left a letter for his partner and left.
"I haven't come back on National Day, you will find someone else to marry, I don't blame you!"
The Yang family is poor. Yang Jie bought a station ticket and took a few flat cakes. His mother cooked a few salted duck eggs and put them in his pocket, and Yang Jie got on the train to Yangcheng.
Anyway, when he arrived in Yangcheng, he didn't even have 10 yuan on him. If he couldn't find his sister, he wouldn't be able to buy a ticket to go back. It would be considered a ruin.
Fortunately, his sister is reliable. Yang Jie asked about the guest house his sister said according to the address on the telegram.
Tell the front desk of the guest house to come and look for someone. After a while, one of the two people upstairs and downstairs is his sister, and the other is so beautiful that it is impolite to look at others.
His sister pointed to the very beautiful girl and said:
"This is my classmate Xiaolan, and you are also called Sister Sheng. Sister Xiaolan, you said, let you earn enough money for gifts in two months!"
