I live in the countryside

Chapter 243 Xiao Yu's Decision

Yan's mother is notoriously loud, and when she quarrels with others, her voice can be heard several meters away.

If you quarrel with others at home, the neighbors can basically hear her. She is the kind of country woman who is greedy for profit, has a good temper, and has little knowledge. Yes, Yan's mother has a bad temper. When her parents-in-law were still there, there were often conflicts. Now she complains about her son, daughter, and husband from time to time in the family.

In the past six months, in order to urge Yan Xiaoyu to go on a blind date and let Yan Xiaoyu get married, the mother and daughter quarreled countless times. as invisible.

It was also a quarrel at the moment, Qiao Churan's car window was not closed, and she could still hear Yan's mother talking about money and building a house, and she couldn't do without scolding Yan Xiaoyu in two or three sentences.

In the past two years, the relationship between the mother and daughter was relatively relaxed. Since the second half of last year, because Yan Xiaoyu refused to go on a blind date, they quarreled every few days.

After a while, I saw Yan Xiaoyu coming out of the house with a bag, and his face was not good-looking.

Yan's mother chased after her and scolded her for being selfish loudly behind her.

"Raising you in vain for so many years, in the end not only can't help you, but also anger me!"

"You go, you'd better not come back, and don't recognize me as a mother!"

"Now that your wings are stiff, no one can control you!"

Yan Xiaoyu just pretended not to hear.

Ever since she was a child, she has heard more ugly scolding than this, and she has long been numb in her heart, and there is no wave in her heart.

As soon as she came out, she saw Qiao Churan's car and waved to her to get in the car.

Yan Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then got into Qiao Churan's car.

Seeing the reddish circles of her eyes, Qiao Churan frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Xiaoyu didn't cry, but was angry, and after a while, her face became more relaxed, but thinking of what her mother had said to her in the past two days, she was still angry and sad.

"Isn't it supported by the fund now, to repair the village and build a house, the fund is given by each family, but I have two younger brothers, and I only have enough to repair the house. My mother wants me to pay for it. My brother is building a house, and it will be used for marriage in two years."

With that said, Qiao Churan understood.

Yan Xiaoyu is the eldest in the family. Below her, there are two younger brothers, who are only one year younger and three years younger than her. They are now adults, but after they finished junior high school, they couldn't pass the exam to high school, so they all went out to work. .

It's just that after so many years, I haven't made much progress in my work, because my education is too low and my temper is not good. I work in Guangzhou for a few days here and there. I work in this factory for half a year, and that factory for a few months. I'm still dawdling. look.

This is the case in the village. People who can’t read books start talking about marriage when they grow up. There are not a few boys in their twenties who get married and have children. Yan Xiaoyu’s two younger brothers are also old. It's just that the five members of Yan's family still live in a big house, and the two brothers don't have their own houses yet. They said that a few girls with good conditions would come over, but the parents were not willing to marry their daughters.

For this reason, Yan's mother worried for two years, and finally hoped that the state would support it now. It happened that Qiao Churan rented the land in the village. Although Yan's family had four acres of dry land, they could only rent out three acres, which would generate more than 1 acres of dry land every year. The rent of [-] yuan is far from enough to cover a two- or three-story building.

The Yan family's parents are both farmers, and they usually don't save a lot of money. The most money they have seen in this life is probably the rent they got from renting the land to Qiao Churan this year.

Therefore, Yan's mother turned her idea to the eldest daughter. She knew that Yan Xiaoyu's monthly salary was nearly 4000 yuan. After this calculation, the savings for several years of work should be tens of thousands, so she wanted her to take out the money. Come build a house for the family.

Typically let her help younger brother.

How could Yan Xiaoyu agree?

"My younger brother is not a child anymore. He comes out to work around the same time as me. He still doesn't know how to live by himself, so he relies on my parents at home for financial support. Let's talk about the land rent this time. My parents don't have a penny. I kept it for myself, and gave it all to my two younger brothers, but now, I can’t save a penny. I said I was working outside the province, but the food was all given by my parents. Now I’m so tight that I don’t even have a penny to build a house. Nothing, what's the use of being married, you won't be able to survive in the future?"

Yan Xiaoyu got angry when he mentioned this: "I don't want the money for renting the land, nor do I want the pension money of these parents, but my parents do this, they only want them two, and now let me support them, how is it possible? Now you ask me to get the money for building a house, will I also pay for the bride price and the money for the wedding banquet when you get married next time, and will you just ask me for money to raise a child after you have a baby?"

Although Yan Xiaoyu said angry words, she knew in her heart that her mother might really be able to speak.

After all, the two younger brothers basically have no continuation now. They belong to the kind who earn as much as they spend and don't know how to live. If they get married, they will ruin the girl's family.

In short, they can support themselves, and she doesn't want to have two giant babies.

Qiao Churan sighed: "I'm not a child anymore, I should take care of myself. If you can't do it, you can learn slowly. You have to think about your own future. There's nothing wrong with doing this."

Yan Xiaoyu hummed lightly, and only got support from friends like Qiao Churan.

Who didn't the elders in the family persuade her to take care of the family?

But she didn't stop supporting her parents. She gave her parents living expenses every month. As a daughter, she fulfilled her responsibility.

Most importantly, she has her own life plan.

When I was studying, I had already made concessions for my family. I don’t want to give up my future for my family now that I have the financial ability.

"Ranran, actually, I want to continue studying."

This is the first time Yan Xiaoyu mentioned this matter to others, Qiao Churan was surprised, "Continue to study?"

Yan Xiaoyu smiled: "You also know that I graduated from a commercial school, and it has been four years since I graduated. The results of the college entrance examination were not satisfactory. I originally wanted to go to college, but I also read a lot of books when I was in school. But at that time, my family’s conditions were not good, I didn’t have tuition fees for me, and my parents didn’t agree, so I put it on hold. But these years, this matter has always been in my heart. I have never given up, and I have been persisting in these years. After reading books, I have saved some money in the past few years, bought some funds for financial management, and feel that the economic situation is okay, so I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination.”

Qiao Churan has always known that although she failed the college entrance examination, Yan Xiaoyu's grades were not good when she was in business school. I thought that she had a plan for further study, but when she graduated later, she graduated quietly like that.

Quietly, she took an exam at a bank in the town and came back to work.

Now that she heard her say this, Qiao Churan naturally supported her: "That's good, if you want to learn, then go, I will definitely support you, by the way, have you thought about which school to go to?"

Speaking of this, Yan Xiaoyu's mood improved a lot: "There are two interested schools, one is in Guangzhou and the other is in the provincial capital, but I hope to be admitted to S University in Guangzhou. I plan to enroll in September next year. Signing up, I only told you about this matter, I didn't tell my parents about it, and I talked about it once before, and both of them strongly opposed it, just want me to get married quickly."

Her parents, unlike Ranran's parents who are more open-minded, support their children to study, they only think that it is useless for girls to study too much, and they only think that when she finishes reading, she will be 28 years old. Well, the girls in the village have already married and had children. At her age, she must not be able to marry.

But she didn't want to say it so early, and the contradictions would only increase.

"Are you sure?" Qiao Churan asked with a smile.

Yan Xiaoyu had a little smile in his eyes: "It feels okay, but I'm still a little worried. Although I've been reading books for the past few years, I'm sure I'm still worried that I won't do well when it comes to exams."

"Then if you need help, you can tell me. I will help you wherever I can. For example, look at schools, majors, teachers, etc. Are there any plans?"

"Yeah." Yan Xiaoyu nodded, "I've been preparing for it, and I've been paying attention to this news. The major is still the original major, and I don't plan to change majors. I like it very much. If you need your help, I will not be polite. "

Qiao Churan laughed, "By the way, how is the matter in Tongmu Village? Are you still following the project?"

Yan Xiaoyu paused, shook his head and said: "This period of time is almost over. Originally, I was only cooperating with the work. Many specific tasks were handled by the bank in the provincial capital. Before the end of the year, I will not participate in this matter." gone."

Qiao Churan nodded, remembered something and asked again: "Then what's going on with you and Xu Fang? If I don't ask you about this, why don't you keep telling me?"

Yan Xiaoyu choked, pretending to be stupid: "What is it?"

Qiao Churan snorted softly: "Just pretend to be with me. How many times has Xu Fang been to Qingxi Village, and how many times have I met him? If you tell me that you didn't know him before, I will write his name upside down. "

Yan Xiaoyu: "..."

Not really.

Thinking of this period of time, because of the Tongmu Village project, the entanglement with Xu Fang, and thinking of her own life plan, Yan Xiaoyu felt a little overwhelmed.

The past with Xu Fang is her little secret.

Back then, she never spoke a single word to Fang Shanshan and Qiao Churan.

At that time, I didn't know what kind of mentality it was. Maybe I didn't have confidence in this relationship, and I didn't feel safe, so I hid it and didn't dare to say it.

Now that Qiao Churan asked, she didn't know what to say.

Then I heard Qiao Churan say quietly: "I didn't know before, but now I finally know, Xu Fang is from the same school as you, right?"

Yan Xiaoyu: "..."

"Okay." She had to admit: "Just, first love, ex, you understand?"

Qiao Churan raised her eyebrows: "I don't understand."
