Should we send the second and third children to school?
Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie fell silent.
Everyone knows that going to school is a good way out.
Look at Lin Yifeng. When he was in vocational school, the government gave him a monthly subsidy of 20 yuan. But as soon as he graduated, his monthly salary was as high as 120 yuan.
120 yuan a month, 1440 yuan a year—that's more than what their family of four earns.
If possible, who wouldn't want their child to go to school, attend a vocational school, and be guaranteed a job by the government after graduation, with a stable income every month?
but!
The reality is that the two of them are no longer able to support another student.
Lin Yifeng is already eighteen years old, the age when he should get married. The fact that he brought a girl back this time makes his intentions very clear.
It's estimated that they will soon go to the woman's family to propose marriage and finalize their engagement.
Engagement and marriage require a large sum of money, and right now, neither Lin Jinshui nor Feng Cuie can afford to get married to Lin Yifeng ahead of schedule.
Not to mention supporting the second child's schooling and arranging a marriage for the second child.
Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie remained silent until Lin Jinshui broke the silence first.
He took a deep breath, about to say something, when Lin Yifeng swiftly interrupted him:
“Now, each student receives a subsidy of more than 20 yuan a month. The second and third children receive a subsidy of nearly 45 yuan a month when they go to school!”
"Plus, I earn 120 yuan a month, so the three of us can earn over 160 yuan a month, which is enough to cover our family's expenses!"
Lin Yifeng pressed his advantage, saying, "Dad, Mom, let me tell you, the number of scholarships and grants is limited."
"It's only because Xiao Jin is a teacher's college student and has connections that she can apply for scholarships and grants. If you don't let your second and third children go to school, these spots will go to someone else."
Lin Yifeng convinced his parents, and Lin Jinshui was tempted but hesitated: "Xiaofeng, is the scholarship you mentioned... real?"
"As long as you go to school, you'll receive a student grant of over twenty yuan a month?"
Is this true or false? Is there really such a good thing?
Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie were a little incredulous. Lin Yifeng smiled, walked into the bedroom, and took out a digital camera from his package.
"Dad, Mom, do you know what this is?"
"Digital camera, the world's first digital camera, after taking a picture, there is no need to develop it, the picture can be printed on the spot."
In the 1990s, digital cameras were cutting-edge technology. Lin Yifeng smiled and asked his parents to sit down, then took a picture of them with the digital camera.
The parents only have one wedding photo from the time they got married until now. When Lin Yifeng took the photo, the two of them were sitting together, but they were visibly very nervous.
Here, take a look!
"Should we just send out photos directly?"
Digital cameras are a rarity, not to mention farmers like Lin Yifeng's parents in the mountains, even for college students.
Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie were both incredibly surprised when they looked at the photos on the digital camera, even more so than when they first saw a movie on a screen.
Do you know how much this costs?
Lin Yifeng lowered his voice, and the two quickly shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"More than eleven thousand!"
Lin Yifeng held up one finger, and Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie's eyes widened instantly. Lin Jinshui, who was holding the digital camera, carefully handed it to Lin Yifeng, looking terrified.
"Xiaofeng, quick, put it back, put it back!"
The price of 11,000 yuan was beyond the imagination of Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie. They hurriedly urged Lin Yifeng to put the digital camera back to avoid it being damaged accidentally, because even selling their whole family wouldn't be enough to cover the damage!
Seeing how apprehensive the two were, Lin Yifeng chuckled and took his digital camera back to his room. A little while later, he came out with a mobile phone.
"Even if you two haven't used this, you've definitely heard of it!"
Lin Yifeng shook the mobile phone, and Lin Jinshui stared at it, its screen gleaming.
A dozen seconds later, he finally asked Lin Yifeng, panting, "Xiaofeng, what is this...?"
"Big Brother!"
The words "Big Brother" seemed to possess a kind of magic, drawing Lin Jinshui's gaze to them, making it impossible for him to look away.
Lin Jinshui, who was in his forties, looked at the mobile phone and became restless. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he didn't dare, for fear of breaking it.
"Here, take a look!"
For Lin Yifeng, the mobile phone was just a broken brick.
But for Lin Jinshui, the mobile phone was a dream that could never be realized.
But now, he has already achieved half of this seemingly impossible dream.
He touched the mobile phone, and even picked it up, pretending to make a phone call.
"Hey~~"
Without dialing, Lin Jinshui still picked up the mobile phone and, imitating the boss he had seen before, hunched his back, shrank his head, and whispered a greeting.
It was a ridiculous scene, but Lin Yifeng's eyes were a little moist.
He turned around and took deep breaths repeatedly to control his emotions.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Jinshui reluctantly returned the mobile phone to Lin Yifeng. He looked at Lin Yifeng, who was taller than him, and remained silent for a long time before asking two questions.
Are Xiao Jin's family members easy to get along with?
"Does Xiao Jin's family have any boys?"
The first problem is that Lin Jinshui is afraid that Bai Yejin's family, the "super rich woman," will be difficult to get along with and will make things difficult for them, the rural people from the mountains.
