Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 58 I really miss the time when I was a fool
Fang Dongping's personality is very upright, and it was absolutely impossible for him to blackmail his employer, but he really liked Niu Xiaoqiang's simple nature, and at the same time guessed that Niu Xiaoqiang wanted to earn money to support his family, so he decided to act foolishly.

After the discussion, Niu Xiaoqiang talked with Fang Dongping for a while, and then rode home.

After arriving at the village, Niu Xiaoqiang returned the bicycle to Niu Xiaoyong and walked home humming a little song.Unexpectedly, as soon as he crossed the threshold, he collided with his father.

Niu Dazhuang smelled of alcohol and had an ugly expression on his face. Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang was sweating profusely, he immediately glared and shouted in a rough voice: "Look at your bearish appearance, hurry up and take a bath!"

Niu Xiaoqiang shrank his neck, agreed and quickly ran into the back room.After entering the room, he found that his mother and four older sisters were all sitting on the edge of the bed, with tears still hanging from the corners of the fourth sister's eyes.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Sun Mei reddened her eyes and said: "Your fourth sister just had an argument with your father over the matter of paying the materials fee. If we hadn't stopped you, your father almost hit your fourth sister on the head with a rolling pin. It was really going to happen. If you don’t make it right, your head will bleed.”

Niu Dongxiang wiped away her tears and yelled angrily: "What are you dragging him to do? Let him beat me to death! Save me from pissing him off!"

Niu Xiaoqiang was speechless when he heard this, and lamented in his heart: money, money, money, and we quarreled over money. Could it be that our family is born short of money in the five elements?Alas, I really miss the time when I was a fool. It is because I don’t understand anything that I am carefree. Although I am enlightened now, all kinds of troubles follow. I am really tired...

This is not the first time that Niu Dongxiang has quarreled with her father over tuition and miscellaneous fees. Basically every time she quarrels, she will tear her face apart.

The material fee that Niu Dongxiang has to pay is not included in the tuition fee, but an additional miscellaneous fee charged by the school.

For example, the test papers used by the students are all hand-printed by the school itself, and material and labor costs are charged.Another example is the exercise bank uniformly issued by the school. These books are purchased from bookstores. Of course, the school also asks students to charge fees.Even papers for midterm and final exams are charged, plus the teacher's invigilation fee.

These costs are not too much individually, but if they are added together, they are not too small for rural families.

Niu Dongxiang will take the college entrance examination next month. Recently, the school basically has a small test every two days and a big test every three days. Such intensive test practice will consume more test papers, so the materials fee will also be higher. will skyrocket.

The old mother Sun Mei sighed for a while, then turned to look at Niu Xiaxiang: "Erya, Sanya, can you talk to your leaders about advance payment of next month's salary?"

Niu Xiaxiang and Niu Qiuxiang's wages have already been handed in, and their wages are basically used for the family's expenses, otherwise they would not be able to support them.

The combined monthly salary of the two is 40 yuan, which is not too small.However, due to the large number of people in the family, there are many places to spend money. In addition to food and clothing, you also need to buy pesticides, seeds, and fertilizers. Two children who are studying, so calculated, the salary of the two of them is really not much.

The most important thing is that the family bought a piglet three months ago, followed by my mother Sun Mei's appendicitis surgery. These two expenses have spent all the family's only savings of more than 100 yuan, otherwise I would not be so embarrassed Now this level.

Hearing what my mother said, Niu Xiaxiang wondered: "Mom, the finance department will not approve the money in the factory without the signature of the leader. I am just an apprentice. How can I recognize those big leaders?"

Niu Qiuxiang also looked helpless: "Not to mention the canteen, which is contracted by relatives of the factory leader's family. Not only will they not pay wages in advance, but they often delay it. Don't even think about asking them to pay."

Sun Mei sighed, stood up and said, "Chunxiang, let's ride a bike to the town to find the eldest brother, he has saved a lot of money."

The eldest son, Niu Xiaogang, has only been responsible for Niu Xiaoqiang's tuition money since he started working.Niu Xiaogang's monthly salary is 58 yuan, which is already a very high salary in this day and age.He saved all the remaining money and planned to use it for his future family.

These days, it is not cheap for a man to want to start a family. First of all, he must have a wedding house. Whether it is buying a house or building a house, he must have a place to live.In fact, the conditions are poor, and it is okay to live together with parents, but the wedding room must be tidied up, and some decent new furniture must be purchased.

In addition, there are three major items to be equipped - bicycles, sewing machines and radios. Such a rough calculation is 1000 yuan.

Some women also need home appliances such as TV sets and washing machines. If these are included, it will be almost two thousand.

Of course, this is the market situation in wealthy areas, and the people in the mountains do not have such high requirements, but Niu Xiaogang has a shortcoming. Like his father, Niu Dazhuang, he cares about face.As an employee of a state-owned enterprise, he is unwilling to make the marriage too shabby.

Niu Chunxiang knew this big brother's personality very well, so she hesitated and said, "Mother, big brother...can he agree?"

Sun Mei's face immediately collapsed: "He has to agree even if he disagrees! I won't come back today until I get the money!"

Seeing her mother lose her temper, Niu Chunxiang nodded and followed her out.

As soon as the mother and daughter went out with the [-] big bars at home, Niu Dazhuang's voice came over: "Where are you two going?"

"I want to ask my elder brother for some money, so I can settle Dongxiang's material fee."

Niu Dazhuang was a little disturbed and gave the borrowed ten yuan to his wife: "Go back, I have already borrowed the money from my fourth uncle. You don't need to ask the elder brother. His salary is to be saved to marry a wife."

As soon as Sun Mei heard that she had borrowed money, she gave up the idea of ​​asking her eldest son for money.She entered the house with the money, happily stuffed it into the little daughter's purse, and wiped away the tears for the little daughter, "Okay, okay, don't cry, my little brother is watching by the side, you sister Not afraid of shame."

Niu Dongxiang lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Mom, if I am admitted to university...what should I do?"

Sun Mei and Niu Dazhuang had discussed this issue a long time ago, and she patted her little daughter on the head: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with your father, as long as you can really get into that... Tsinghua University, Our family will sell the New Year pigs for you to pay for the travel expenses, plus the salaries of your second and third sisters, it should be able to afford you. If it is not enough, we will sell the cattle as well. You cultivated it."

Niu Dongxiang couldn't help sobbing when she heard this, saying that it is too difficult for a rural family to train a college student!
