Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 64, Selling Braids for Study

He didn't know until Yang Xiaole followed him back home.

The uncle still gave 50 yuan to his grandfather, and similarly, he also gave 30 yuan to his father, and there will be nothing more.

Not surprising.

After all, he is his own father.

Although all the money has been donated, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

It's just this money, probably before he warms it up, it will all have to be paid out early next year, and maybe Zhao Jinhua's old background will have to be wiped out.

Back home, the father pulled the elder brother into the house and drove the younger ones out.

Yang Xiaole is so anxious!

He was already impatient, if he didn't tell him any secrets, the two chatted secretly, could he not be in a hurry?

But there is no way.

After a while, the eldest brother came out with a look of excitement.

"Brother, what did Dad tell you?"

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole still asked curiously.

The eldest brother shook his head: "Father is afraid that you will go out and talk nonsense without keeping your mouth closed. He said that we will know when the matter has a result."

Yang Xiaole's mind was running fast.

Combining some situations of later generations.

Immediately understood what it meant.

What he couldn't figure out was the uncle's attitude.

Why are you making it so mysterious!
If he wanted to go through the back door, he wouldn't say that he couldn't make mistakes, and if he didn't want to go through the back door, he wouldn't say it.

strange!
Gently pushed open the door and walked in.

Wang Qiuju was counting money on the kang, when she saw him coming in, she hurriedly covered her with a quilt.

"I didn't know how to squeak when I came in. It scared me to death. The boss is also true, and I don't know how to lock the door when I go out."

Yang Xiaole knew what she was doing at a glance, she must be counting money.

Hearing her words, he smiled and said, "Mother, when you go out, you can still lock the door!"

As he spoke, he locked the door.

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she glared at him angrily: "You can do it very well. I said your father, but not your elder brother."

Yang Guangzhi next to him was smoking.

Hearing this, she looked innocent.

Can all this be said about me?

Got it!
I do not speak.

Seeing that the door was fastened, Wang Qiuju pulled back the quilt.

"How much did you count just now? Hey, I have to count again."

He took the money and started counting again.

Yang Xiaole took a look, in fact, he could probably figure it out.

Through his nonsense two manuscript fees and the money from selling fish this time, there are 40 yuan, 30 yuan borrowed from the village, and more than 13 yuan left after selling gold to buy clothes, and finally 30 yuan from the uncle.
It's about 115 yuan in total.

Sure enough, Wang Qiuju ordered it three times, with a look of disbelief on her face: "I'm a good boy, it's 113 yuan and 7 cents. If you change it to Dayang, it's 6 yuan!"

Yang Guangzhi was also surprised.

"so much?"

"Well, no, I have to collect this money and find a place to put it away. If I lose it, I will die."

After Wang Qiuju finished speaking, she looked around to find a place to plug in.

I am deeply afraid that this "huge" property will be stolen.

Yang Xiaole looked at Yang Guangzhi, and said with a smile: "Father, now that the eldest sister is going to school, you won't say that you have no money!"

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi pondered for a while.

He didn't answer him, but asked slowly: "Do you know that the current work points are different from before?"

Yang Xiaole was puzzled for a moment: "What's wrong? What's the difference?"

I guess I guessed something.

Yang Guangzhi took a puff of cigarette, and then said slowly: "In the future, everyone will eat the food produced together, that is to say, there will be no distinction between children and adults."

"Yeah, I know that!"

Yang Xiaole naturally knew this.

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi nodded lightly, and continued: "The food is the same. Wouldn't the family with more labor be at a disadvantage? The family with less labor would be at an advantage! Just like our family.

If we eat the same food, it is unfair that there are more or less people working.

So the captain said, then convert the food, pork, and the output of the production team into work points according to the amount of money. "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaole and said, "If your elder sister doesn't go to work, the gap in the work points will be calculated based on one-year rations (grain, vegetables, meat, etc.), and you will have to buy work points for about 20 yuan, plus It costs about 10 yuan a year to go to school, and there is a gap of 30 yuan a year.

This is still your elder sister's, you, the fourth child, the fifth child, the four of you, after a year, there are quite a few gaps. "

(Seeing this, many people understand that rural children did not study in the past, right?

Short-sighted?
There is this factor, but more is still helpless.

The above may not be detailed enough. For example, if a family of 3 members are all laborers, and another family of 7 members has only three laborers, then eating and drinking are all together. If you can't help but eat everything, then spend money to buy work points.

What if I have no work points?
）

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was silent for a while.

At this time, Wang Qiuju had just hidden the money, and she also looked at the two helplessly.

These two people in the family can be regarded as people who can make big decisions a little bit. Although the man in the family is the head of the family, he is too honest.

Although the third child is a child, he has been smart since he was a child.

So the two of you can actually talk.

As for her, she usually bluffs, but Yang Guangzhi is the one who is really in charge.

Yang Xiaole also knew about this situation, raised her head expressionlessly and said: "Father, I won't advise you about other things. You can discuss it with your mother.

But I would also like to talk about my opinion. You can't give up the idea of ​​leaving here just because the eldest sister is a girl.

This is how the eldest sister will live in the countryside in the future, repeating your life like this for the rest of her life.

It's better for you to be shameless, use the money to send your child to school, and use two years to fight for the future of the eldest sister.

Of course, if you don’t agree, I’ll go to school for my eldest sister. When she goes to a technical secondary school, her household registration will follow the school.There is no such thing as owed work points to the village.And if you don't eat your food from the production team, you don't need to buy work points. "

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, she looked at the two dazed people and said: "The other thing is, the eldest sister went to the county to go to middle school. According to the current regulations, middle school students are 29 to 31 catties. The eldest sister is a girl. It should be 29 catties. You can spend it directly. The money is bought in the cafeteria, and the food is almost eaten. If you eat Wowotou, you can bring your own pickles. It doesn’t cost much a month. Think about it for yourself!”

Then turned and left.

It is impossible to say that you are not disappointed, but you can't blame them, everyone thinks about things differently.

Open the door, several people are gone.

Yang Xiaole took a look outside, it was bustling and bustling, strange for a while.

Just as he was about to go out, the eldest sister ran back happily with some money in her hand.

When he saw the elder sister's waist-length hair, it was now short.

There was a sudden panic in his heart.

The eldest sister still had tears on her face, but she was happy for a while with the money: "Third brother, I sold the braids for 8 yuan!"

After speaking, he went to the house excitedly.

Watching her go in, Yang Xiaole withdrew her thoughts, and if it doesn't work, wait until he enters the city to find a way.

He still doesn't believe it, there is space, five or six years, if you can't get the eldest sister to the city, it will be too wasteful.

……

"Mother, mother, the braided hair collector is here, and I sold it for 8 yuan! I have enough money for this year's school."

Wang Qiuju looked at her daughter holding 8 yuan for braids as if offering a treasure.

Look at the short hair on her daughter's head again.

Her eyes were red.

Yang Guangzhi is a man, so he may not feel anything.

But she is also a little girl, and she knows what this 14-year-old hair means to a girl.

Although I still want to sell it in the future, it hurts the most when I sell my hair for the first time.

Then he looked at his man, and called softly: "The head of the family?"

Yang Guangzhi stared at his daughter's hair.

Hearing the shout, he came back to his senses, looked at the money in his daughter's hand, and froze for a moment.

He took a puff of tobacco and said, "What are you doing? Put it away! School will start in a few days."

"oh oh!"

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju took the money, and comforted her daughter: "You child, why don't you say something about selling your hair, it's okay, it will grow in a few days. Your braids are taken care of all day long." It's also troublesome."

Yang Xiaomei smiled happily when she heard this; "Well, it will grow out in the future."

Handing over the money, he said with a smile, "I'm going to wash the clothes, but the uncle came over, and the clothes haven't been washed yet!"

Go out after speaking.

Wang Qiuju stopped her when she heard the words: "Okay, it's almost lunch time, let's go wash in the afternoon."

"okay!"

Yang Xiaomei agreed, and walked out of the room with a smile.

Yang Xiaole stood at the gate, watching the eldest sister come out with a smile, and already guessed something in her heart.

But he still asked worriedly: "Sister, what did dad say?"

"Hey, Dad said, save the money for my school. I'll go to see Sophora cut her braids, she will definitely cry too."

After the eldest sister finished speaking, she went to join in the fun with a smile.

At this time, many children were gathered around to watch the fun.

And Yang Xiaomei was comforting a girl who was about her age, because she was also in tears.

"Sophia japonica, it's fine, you see, it won't hurt after you cut it, it will grow back in the future."

……

Yang Guangzhi came out of the house smoking a pipe and wearing a straw hat.

"Your mother and I went to the fields to have a look. I don't know how much work points will be deducted if we don't go today!"

Behind her, Wang Qiuju, also wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe, followed out.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole held Yang Guangzhi back, and said in a low voice, "Father, aren't we going to sell fish? We bought something, and they said it was ready and brought it to me in the evening."

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi was taken aback for a moment: "What?"

"Stir-fried rice eel with rib meat, stewed with tofu. Dad, get some wine at night, we will eat it secretly."

Looking at Yang Xiaole's hey and laughing expression.

Yang Guangzhi frowned: "Be honest, did you buy it yourself? Do you still have money? If you have any, please hand it in. Don't buy things randomly!"

He wondered if Yang Xiaole had secretly hidden the money.

"It's gone. It's really gone. If you don't want it, forget it. I'll tell them and let them eat by themselves."

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi glared at him: "Yes, why don't you? Bring it tonight, and you can eat it yourself."

In his opinion, not much.

I didn't think too much about it, just taste it when the time comes.

After speaking, the two walked towards the field.
