Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 317: Strength is a trap!

Yang Xiaole was riding on the road and rarely bought a newspaper.

I saw this matter written on half a page of the headlines.

He put the newspaper away and went home directly.

"Oh, Xiaole is back! You are so brave, you dare to go to a place as far away as the Northeast!"

Just after entering the compound, Aunt Zhao was picking vegetables. She saw him and shouted with a smile.

Not only him, but also several women in the compound were gathered around chatting!

My mother is also in there.

"Mom, I'm back."

When I came here, I shouted to Wang Qiuju.

As for Aunt Zhao, she extended her hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, so Yang Xiaole smiled perfunctorily and said: "What's there to be afraid of? If you don't understand on the way, just ask. Auntie, you are busy, I will go back first."

After saying that, he came back with his things.

"You guys are busy, I'll go back first."

Wang Qiuju said something to a few people, put down the vegetable basin and hurriedly followed them.

After he came in, he asked loudly: "You came back very quickly! How is your dad doing there? Did you give them all your things? Didn't you suffer on the road?"

Yang Xiaole just put down his things.

Hearing her words, he smiled and said: "I arrived in the afternoon, but he sent me away the next morning, just because he was afraid that I would stay there."

Then he asked curiously: "Didn't Dad say there was a letter? When I left, he said he would send you a telegram."

"Well, the letter is here, but there is no telegram!"

Wang Qiuju was at a loss when she heard the telegram.

Seeing his mother's expression, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes. His father was trying to scare him again. He really thought he had sent a telegram!

Sending a telegram is very fast. You can send it on the same day and receive it on the same day.

Is there no telegraph at the train station?

impossible!

Then he said to her: "Dad insisted on sending me to the train station. He also said that he missed you and sent you a telegram. I thought he had sent it!"

Mad.

If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Hong Kong Island.

But it’s okay, I want to go anyway, and I’ll think of other ways when the time comes.

These words made Wang Qiuju a little embarrassed, and she glared at him angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Is the road safe? Nothing happened?"

"Hey, what else could happen? You're fine on the road! If you don't understand anything, I'll ask the police uncle."

Then he looked around and asked, "Didn't you go to work today? Where are they? Are they studying?"

"Well, it's Sunday today. Your eldest sister and the other three have gone to study. Your eldest brother and Lan Lan have gone out to play. Xizi has gone somewhere to play. Ignore him, he will come back when he is hungry. .”

After Wang Qiuju finished speaking, she looked at the sweat on his body and hurriedly urged: "Okay, you've been riding the train for so long. Go take a shower quickly, you smell like this."

Yang Xiaole smelled the scent on his body.

This is already settled, it's just that I haven't changed it for a day, otherwise it would be too fake to come back clean.

Then he went into the house to find his own toiletries, put on his big pants, took the basin and went to the sink.

Yang Xiaole took some cold water, went directly to the edge, and started washing.

The few women picking vegetables here didn't make a fuss.

Sun Fu's daughter-in-law, Wang Li, looked at him and asked with a smile: "Xiao Le, how is that place? I heard that the yield of growing food there is higher than here without watering, right?"

"My Haitang said that it is written in the textbooks that any roe deer with many roe deer can be hit with a stick, and that when you drop a ladle of water, there will be fish. Is this true or false?"

Li Quanyou's wife also echoed.

Yang Xiaole rubbed soap on his body and smiled when he heard the words: "Yeah, almost, there are quite a lot of things, but I can't catch them. There are reeds and swamps everywhere, and I can't even pull them up. "

The roe deer is beaten with sticks to scoop up the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice cooker.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, the products there are indeed very rich. Otherwise, when the Qing army sealed off the pass and outside the pass, there would not be so many people crossing the Guandong.

It's just that people live in such a large circle now, and they won't go deep into other deserted places to find these things.

Because there is a price to pay in blood.

"Oh my god, it's so scary!"

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she became a little worried: "Xiao Le, is the place where your father and the others work safe?"

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he realized it. My mother was still worried, so she quickly explained: "Well, it's safe. They will work in the camp and won't go anywhere else. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Wang Qiuju breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Le, tell me what it's like over there?"

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he gave an overview of the situation there.

After taking a shower, I put on a vest, big pants and sandals, and instantly felt much more comfortable.

But it's almost noon now, and it's still very hot for those exposed to the sun.

It's still quite cool inside.

I sat there and poured a pot of tea and drank it.

"Mom, I'm back. Yanyan will have dinner at our house at noon."

The eldest sister's voice came from the door.

At the same time, my mother's voice of agreement came. "Ang, got it!"

"Sister, Jiang Yan!"

Seeing the two people coming in, Yang Xiaole smiled and said hello.

Since the eldest sister went to learn piano, Jiang Yan would come over occasionally, but the number was very small.

"Xiao Le? Are you back? Why so fast? How is dad over there?"

The eldest sister saw him coming back and hurriedly asked about it.

Yang Xiaole naturally had to repeat it again.

After saying that, looking at Jiang Yan's forced smile and red eyes, she asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

He had already seen it as soon as he came in.

And the eldest sister didn’t smile either.

Hearing this, the eldest sister said angrily: "Yanyan's mother said that she should take the technical secondary school entrance examination when she takes the high school entrance examination, and not let her go to high school."

Then he complained there: "Yanyan's grades are so good, she is first in grade, and the teacher has said that as long as her grades don't decline too much in the future, she will definitely be able to get into college. It's too much. I just want her to go to work early."

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he didn't answer in a hurry.

He went to get two cups, poured a cup of cold water, and pushed it to the two people: "Okay, drink some water first."

"Yanyan, come on, drink some water!"

The eldest sister pushed the water glass, Jiang Yan nodded, picked up the glass and took a sip.

Watching the two people drinking water, Yang Xiaole was thinking about it.

In fact, he had already guessed it, and he had heard it vaguely from his eldest sister before.

After all, they are not biologically related, so there are always some differences.

If he goes to college, he will have to support him for at least eight years, or even nine years.

If it is a technical secondary school, including the third day of the first year of next year, it will only take four years to graduate, and after graduating, you will be a cadre, which is considered good among women in this era.

It would be better if the Jiang family didn't give birth to a son.

Now that I have my own son, I have to make plans for my child!

Nowadays, both normal schools and agricultural technical secondary schools are subsidized. While tuition and miscellaneous fees are not charged, there is also a subsidy of 9 yuan. (Other majors do not.)

You can save a lot of money here.

Not only him, but even his eldest sister has been thinking about how to deal with it!

Now the results of the eldest sister and Jiang Yan are always taking the first place, and they are also very good. According to the normal trajectory, college students will not have a big problem.

She would definitely not be able to accept it now if she was asked to go to a technical secondary school instead of high school.

He was still thinking about how to do it.

As for giving her well water to drink, he has no regrets about this, because there are too many infectious diseases in this era, and he doesn't want one of the family to have a headache today and another to have a cold tomorrow.

That would be too disturbing.

Listening to the eldest sister muttering there, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked Jiang Yan, "What do you think?"

But after I finished speaking, I felt like everything I said was nonsense.

What can Jiang Yan do without income?

But what the eldest sister said next surprised him.

"Yanyan is going to high school!"

"what?"

This made Yang Xiaole confused.

"Oh, that's it..."

The eldest sister saw this and explained there.

After listening for a while, Yang Xiaole finally understood.

Jiang Yan is no longer as weak as before, arguing with her stepmother.

I still have to go to high school.

From now on, she will go to the neighborhood committee to paste paper boxes to earn money for school, and she also promises not to delay her work at home.

After Yang Xiaole listened, he didn't say anything. Courage is commendable, but reality is still cruel.

There are so many people who are not working now, how can there be so many cardboard boxes to paste? If you work hard, you will lose your life.

This is not something that happens in one or two years.

Why bother!

There is a saying that the heart is as high as the sky, but life is as thin as paper.

The tuition and miscellaneous fees for one semester of high school are 6 yuan, not including pen, ink, paper and the like. The annual consumption is close to yuan.

It's not that easy to earn.

He is not short of money, but the problem is that he can't say, "You go to school, and I'll give you the money!"

That's nonsense.

"Oh, don't be sad. They will regret it when they go to university and become cadres."

Looking at the comforting eldest sister, she thought for a moment and asked, "What should I say next? Even if I earn the tuition fee, what about the living expenses!!"

"Oh, her mother said that junior high school will continue to be the same as before. She will be provided to go to school. If she can pay for the tuition for three years of high school on her own, then let her go."

After listening, Yang Xiaole slapped his head.

It’s over.

The eldest sister, like Xizi, also came to trick him.

No need to think about it, the eldest sister will definitely lend it to her.

Since she had a lot of money, she would often give her some pocket money secretly. She had not saved it before, but she had started saving it secretly since last year.

I don’t know the exact number, but there are still tens of dollars.

In addition to Xiaoli, even Xizi would give him a few cents a month as pocket money.

Sure enough, I heard the eldest sister whispering persuasion: "Okay, didn't I tell you on the way? Don't be in a hurry to return it. If I need it urgently, you can find a way to return it to me. Okay?"

Jiang Yan shook her head there: "No, I'll figure it out myself. Thank you."

"Cough~~"

Yang Xiaole coughed lightly.

Seeing this, the eldest sister turned her head and looked at him: "What's wrong? Is your throat uncomfortable? You don't have a cold, do you?"

Hearing this, he rolled his eyes: "No!"

After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

To be honest, Jiang Yan, in future generations, would indeed be his type.

That peaceful atmosphere made him feel very comfortable.

The key is……

This girl is as old as him, and she is mentally old enough, but Jiang Yan is still too young, and she really doesn't feel anything now!

He didn't care about dozens of dollars.

In fact, the main reason is that Jiang Yan had the same experience as him in his previous life, and also came out of an orphanage.

In his heart, he subconsciously wanted to help.

After thinking for a moment, he asked: "By the way, do you still have time to learn the violin in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were confused for a while.

If Jiang Yan really does this, then there will be no time to mention it in elementary school. If she doesn't learn, her eldest sister will naturally not follow suit.

The eldest sister shrugged: "I don't know! Maybe I won't study anymore. We'll see when the time comes! Then we'll go to the Children's Palace and eavesdrop."

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Didn't care.

"Xiao Mei, are you ready to see if the wowotou is ready? Take it out and steam it in a pot."

While I was thinking, my mother's voice came from outside.

The eldest sister stood up quickly after hearing this: "Hey, come on~"

I washed my hands and ran to the stove to take a look.

At noon, I steam a lot in one pot, and at night I can heat it up and eat it without all the trouble.

"Drink some water! Do you have anything to ask?"

Yang Xiaole looked at Jiang Yan's troubled expression and looked at him from time to time, feeling that she might have something to say.

At the same time, he motioned to the cup in front of her.

Jiang Yan looked at the eldest sister who was busy outside, hesitated for a while, and then slowly whispered: "Actually... I just want to ask, how do you make money? Do you go to the black market?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole did not answer her.

Instead, he just looked at her.

She grew up in an orphanage all year round. Although she is not very old, she has long learned to observe people's emotions.

He quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, your sister didn't tell me anything, I just guessed it myself!"

"You guessed it yourself?"

"Ok!"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, looked outside again, and then continued: "Xiaomei told me about your family's situation. They knew about your sister learning the violin, but they didn't know that she bought a violin. That means you My parents don’t know that your eldest brother turns in his salary every month.”

At this point, he paused and then said: "You brought your sister something to eat before, and she told her that the family didn't know. Although she didn't tell you how you got it, but I..."

After Yang Xiaole listened, he didn't answer in a hurry.

After thinking for a moment, she asked: "Jiang Yan, let me ask you something. Do you know that there are three adult training universities in the west of our city? One is the Chengxi Cadre Amateur University, the other is the Chengxi Amateur Medical College, and the other is Kyoto Radio and Television University Chengxi Work Station, have you heard of these?"

(These three are not compiled! They come from a page of adult higher education in the local chronicles of Chengxi District, Sijiucheng City.)

Jiang Yan shook her head blankly: "What's wrong?"

"Of these three schools, two were established in 58 and one was established in the first half of this year. They are only for government agencies, enterprises, factories and mines."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he continued: "Actually, my personal suggestion is that you don't have to go to college. With your intelligence, if you graduate from a technical secondary school and work, you can apply for these three schools. If you are admitted, you can participate in these three schools. The night universities of the three schools will also issue normal university diplomas after graduation, and it will not delay your work. "

He also inquired a lot about his eldest sister's future job.

Just to find an excuse to convince the eldest sister.

These three schools only recruit students from social institutions. Jiang Yan didn't know but understood.

Subconsciously, he still hopes that Jiang Yan can go to a technical secondary school and no longer have to go to the mountains or the countryside.

These words made Jiang Yan's eyes light up: "Tell me."

At this point she had put aside the idea of ​​making money.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole explained the situation: "These three universities are also divided into full-time and evening universities. However, for full-time, you must be a commissioned trainee recommended by the unit and study with a salary subsidy. This is a bit difficult, of course. , it would be best if you have the ability to get a spot as a committee trainee. You can get a salary without having to work, and you can still attend classes with peace of mind.

As for what I just said, I'm a little tired. You have to take the exam, and you can only study after being admitted. And you have to complete the exam before you can get a college diploma. It’s just that the course will be very tiring. "

In fact, it is an adult university.

But at this time, there is not much difference between an adult university and an ordinary university.

Not only that, there is almost no big gap between various universities these days. On the contrary, the famous Peking University is not as good as some universities in the northwest.

Junior college can be called the era of university. After graduating from this kind of university, you will naturally get the same treatment in your work unit.

These words made Jiang Yan's eyes light up.

"Really? Where can I find out?"

Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "Go and find out. The Cadre Amateur University is at No. 22 Nancaochang Street. This is the most suitable one for you. When you graduate from technical secondary school and you are a cadre, you can also take the exam to this university."

After Jiang Yan heard this, she looked happy.

Thinking there.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

After the eldest sister finished it, she came in smiling and wearing an apron. She saw Jiang Yan's expression and asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan stood up directly: "Xiaomei, I'll go back first. I have something else to do. I'll come see you in the afternoon."

"Ah? What are you doing? You'll be ready to eat in a while!"

"If something happens, I'll come find you later!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, the elder sister was suspicious for a while, turned to look at him and asked: "What did you tell her? She is so happy!"

Yang Xiaole shrugged: "Wait a while, you'll know when she comes back!!"

Hearing this, the eldest sister looked him up and down and muttered: "Since when did you two have a little secret?"

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes and ignored her.

Looking at the back of the figure who had left the door, he pondered there.

Everything he said was right and he wasn't lying. The problem was that the adult college exams at this time were no easier than normal college exams.

Normal universities are full-time, while evening universities only study a few hours in the evening.

You can imagine how difficult and stressful it is to study.

But he felt that with Jiang Yan's temperament, she would choose this path.

In this case, after graduating from a technical secondary school, working for two years, and just becoming a full-time employee, when special times come, there is no need to study.

The eldest sister looked at him and ignored her, pursed her lips, and went outside to work. Wouldn't it be clear when someone comes back later to ask?

Seeing the eldest sister leaving, Yang Xiaole also wanted to use the same method.

Then I thought about it and let it go.

After all, Jiang Yan's and eldest sister's situations are different.
