Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 130

Grandma Li made the noodles, and Li Shaoyun chose the dishes.

Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into pieces. Remove the sinews from the green beans, cut them into three or four inch pieces, wash them, and chop the chopped green onion and minced ginger.

All these can be done, just wait for Grandma Li to make cakes.

Grandma Li reconciled the dough, kneaded it smooth, covered it with a damp cloth and let it sit for a while.

Li Shaoyun originally volunteered to help, but the old lady disliked her granddaughter's inability to make noodles and refused to let her do it.

Li Shaoyun had no choice but to watch the old lady make peace with regret.

No way, who made her belong to the level of adding more water to the noodles, and adding more noodles to the water!
The main reason is that there are not many opportunities to exercise, and the skills are not improved, and the old lady despises her as a result.

See if it's almost time, Li Ershier is going home for dinner, so let's do it quickly.

After eating delicious pancakes and cleaning up, grandma went back to her room to rest.

Li Shaoyun brought grandpa's reclining chair, put it in the aisle of the gate, and lay down on it to breathe in the breeze to digest food.

The door was open, and the draft was blowing through the hall.

The row of trees planted at the gate grew as thick as a person's arms, and the wind that blew over was cool. Li Shaoyun lay comfortably, and felt a little sleepy after a while.

As if sleeping but not sleeping, I heard the sound of light footsteps on the path.

Li Shaoyun opened his eyes a little, and tilted his head to look over, "Who am I talking about! It turned out to be you! You want to scare me?"

Li Mei curled her lips regretfully, "I wanted to scare you at first, but I didn't expect that your ears are quite thieves!"

Li Shaoyun smiled, "It's a good thing I heard that, I fell asleep so fast, my heart would jump out of your scare! Short life for several years!"

Li Mei also laughed, "Are you so timid?"

Li Shaoyun nodded, "That's not it."

Sitting up, he pointed to a stool next to him, "Sit down! Why did you remember coming here now? It's so hot!"

He threw Li Mei a cattail fan to cool her down.

In summer, the Li family likes to sit in the door opening of their own gate, open the gate to rest in the cool.

This is a vent, and the door is covered by a big tree, even at noon, there is a cool breeze.

"It's okay if you don't finish the meal, come out for a stroll." Li Mei took the cattail fan, slapped it a few times, and asked Li Shaoyun, "Did you come back yesterday?"

"Yeah. You haven't been out recently?" Li Shaoyun nodded, sitting upright and chatting with Li Mei.

I can't sleep this afternoon.

"Where do I go? It's a hot day! My mother won't let me go with my relatives, saying they are all grown up!" Li Mei said aggrievedly.

"It's so boring to be locked up at home all the time!" Li Mei looked at Li Shaoyun enviously, "How can you be so carefree!"

Li Shaoyun gave Li Mei a blank look, "What's wrong with me? You're not the same as playing at home all day!"

The smile on Li Mei's face faded, and she sighed, "Don't mention it! My mother won't let me read it!"

Li Shaoyun looked at Li Mei sympathetically, she couldn't say anything about it.

"You miss? That's right! How much did you score? Are you planning to go to high school?"

When Li Mei heard this, she opened her mouth and closed it again, looking left and right but not looking at Li Shaoyun.

Li Shaoyun saw this posture, got it!This girl must not have done very well in the exam, otherwise she wouldn't look so guilty!

No wonder her mother told her not to read it.

Li Shaoyun didn't mention the score any more, just said: "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Mei turned her head, a little embarrassed to look at Li Shaoyun, her eyes dodged for a long time, and finally she yelled:

"Oh! Forget it, it's nothing special! Let me tell you! I didn't do well in the exam, so my mother went too far. If you don't let me read it, don't let me read it. She actually said that she would give me a blind date for a while!"

After yelling, I felt that my voice was too loud, and I was embarrassed to be heard, so I quickly looked around again.

Fortunately, it was hot right now, no one was hanging out outside, and the surroundings were quiet.Li Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shaoyun was astonished, "Blind date? How old are you?!"

Oh, right!This girl is two years older than her, and she will be seventeen this year!
In rural areas, this age is not too young, and it is time to consider lifelong events.

If you continue to study, that's fine. Staying at home every day, parents are thinking about blind dates for their children.

The custom in the countryside has always been early marriage and early childbearing, and those over twenty belong to old girls!

Not to mention now, some girls as old as her in the rural areas of later generations have gone out to work, and they still want to go on blind dates when they return to their hometown.Unless you stay outside all the time and don't come back.

Li Shaoyun looked at Li Mei, he didn't know what to say at the moment.

Li Mei found an ally, "That's right! My mother is too much!"

After just a short while, her dissatisfaction deflated like a deflated balloon.

If you say that there are not many ways out for people at the moment, the rural children really don't know what other ways to go besides studying.

Otherwise, not so many people want to change their destiny through reading, especially in the technical secondary school entrance examination.

This is almost a single-plank bridge that changes the life and destiny of rural children.

As long as you are admitted to a technical secondary school, your household registration will be gone immediately with the notice.Afterwards, the graduation package was distributed, and the identity also changed accordingly, becoming a city resident.For the rest of his life, he left the farm and no longer had to bear the pain of farming.

It's just that most people don't have that ability, and it's not just talking about thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.

The competition is too fierce!

Li Mei's grades have never been outstanding, not to mention her, even her parents don't have the confidence to take the technical secondary school entrance examination.

The two sat in silence for a while, and it was Li Mei who broke the silence, "Do you still want to read?"

After finishing speaking, he laughed again, "Look at what I said, your family has the conditions, why don't you read it?"

Li Shaoyun smiled, but did not speak.Saying anything now is like showing off.

It was Li Mei who took the initiative to ask her: "Are you in high school?"

Li Shaoyun nodded, "Well, I have been admitted to No. [-] Middle School, and I plan to continue my studies."

Li Mei looked at her enviously, "Look, let me tell you, your life is better than mine!"

She pouted self-deprecatingly, "Forget it! Same person doesn't have the same fate, I see it too!"

A look of seeing through the vicissitudes of life.

Li Shaoyun finally couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes.

She can be admitted to No. [-] Middle School, which proves that she still worked hard!This girl didn't even get into an ordinary high school, so she's ashamed to say that others are lucky?

After thinking about it, she came up with an idea: "If you want to change, it's fine, or go out to work? Earn money and spend it yourself, buy whatever you want! Isn't that good?"

After all, this is the little friend he grew up with, and Li Shaoyun couldn't bear to watch her complaining about herself all the time.

This girl is now completely supported by her family, she has no right to speak and can't blame her parents.If you are not economically independent, why talk about your own affairs and decide for yourself?
But thinking about it, this girl is just visiting her relatives to play at most, and added a few more words:
"However, you have never traveled far when you go out to work, and you don't know anything. You just don't know if you can adapt? What if you are trafficked and sold to poor mountain valleys? You can think about it !"

Although it was a joke, what she said was not groundless.

It is said that the social atmosphere is good at the moment, but it is actually relatively speaking.

A big girl who has never traveled far for seventeen or eighteen years does have countless potential risks.

Li Mei's eyes were brightened by what she said at the beginning, but after hearing the terrible consequences Li Shaoyun said, she couldn't help but slumped her shoulders, "Oh! That's right! I don't dare to go alone!"

Thinking of the terrible consequences of being trafficked, Li Mei patted her chest in fear, "Forget it! I don't dare! If I'm trafficked, I'll die a miserable death!"

That posture, as if the tragic consequences were about to fall on her head.

If you want to talk about abduction and trafficking, children have heard of it.

They were all scared by adults when they were young!In order to prevent children from running around, whose children have not been threatened by their parents?

But Li Mei did see the abducted daughter-in-law.

Not the village, but her aunt's village.

There was a daughter-in-law in that village who was abducted from a neighboring province.

She had also heard about it, but she didn't know if it was true. Out of curiosity, she asked her aunt, who said it was true.It's just that it's not abducted, it is said that there is a serious matchmaker.

She had met the daughter-in-law, and her accent was indeed slightly different from that of the locals, but she seemed to be living a good life.

Whether it's good or not, outsiders are just looking at the surface.

In Li Mei's view, a blind date is actually abduction when they are so far away.

It's just a better way of saying it.
