Luo's mother sighed. Her face was full of wrinkles and traces of time, but she looked very energetic.
She took off the triangular scarf on her head, shook it, and said with emotion: "Sister, your son has been admitted to a technical secondary school and will have a stable job in the future. You can also make a living in the county town. If we don't follow us to farm, how will we eat?
You can't take care of the children at this age, so let the younger ones take care of them. Do whatever you can to reduce the pressure and burden on them. There are two or three children in a family, and it's not easy for the younger ones.
It's different now than it was in the past, where just having enough to eat was enough. You have to let him study and get out of the mountains. Otherwise, if his ancestors have been digging for food on the land for generations, what hope will there be in the future?"
Now that universities are open, who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to have a bright future? They can lead us to go abroad.
Whenever they heard that someone's child passed the college entrance exam, it was considered a great blessing, and they could only envy him.
They had previously learned that several members of Lu Xiaofang's family had passed the exam, and they were also very proud of it.
As for Lu Xiaofang, she was also quite regretful. When she went back to her parents' home before, Jiang Yan mentioned it vaguely and even gave her a set of self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry.
But she was too busy with her pregnancy and childbirth, so she didn't watch it. As a result, she missed out on it.
Zhang Yulan agreed and said, "Forget about the old one, just train the young one well, and you will definitely enjoy a good life in the future. I came here to take Xiaofang to the city.
From now on, I will trouble you at home. My family has opened a new shop in the provincial capital, and we will go there. Xiaofang will take care of the shop in the county town.
She gets paid every month, and she can take her husband and child with her as a family, which makes things more convenient and relieves her of worries."
When Luo's mother heard this, she was extremely happy. She confirmed again and again: "You want to take Xiaofang to the city? And take my son with you? Will both of them be paid?
"Mother-in-law, you are so kind, aren't you? You have become rich, but you didn't forget us. Thank you so much."
Her voice was so loud that the villagers passing by heard it. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and confusion, as if they had been shocked by something.
One woman scratched her ears and asked the person next to her, "Did I hear it right? Not only did Zhang Yulan come to pick up her daughter, but she also arranged a job for her son-in-law? Oh my god, what kind of luck is this?"
"You heard right. Her daughter is blessed. Her family has risen to prominence. If they help her, she will become a city dweller in the future."
"Ah, who made her family so well off? Unlike us, we were beaten by men and had no one to back us up. Her mother came all the way here because she felt sorry for her. She said she was giving her son-in-law a job so that she could gain a firm foothold in her husband's family.
If the daughter is taken away and the son-in-law stays here, who knows whether the two can live together, and will the in-laws let him go? If the daughter-in-law has an affair and runs away with another man, everything will be ruined.
A man has three children to take care of, and no woman will dare to marry him in the future. This old woman is very thoughtful, and the son-in-law is just a by-product.
"It seems that her grandson and granddaughter also want to go to school in the city. Are the teaching resources in the city the same as those in the countryside? The teachers are all more educated, and the children will have a bright future.
If one of the family members is successful, then all the family members will be blessed. It is really something to be envied. Let’s go home and teach the kids. If the kids are successful, then we can enjoy the happiness as well.”
Everyone dispersed, but the news that Lu Xiaofang was going into the city quickly spread throughout the team.
The village is so small, and with those gossipers, what can be hidden?
If the grass in front of someone's door is pulled out, you can find out exactly who did it by just asking around.
The brigade's intelligence team is very authoritative, and there is nothing they can't find out.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family was cooking. Upon hearing this, she glanced towards the third room and said sincerely, "The third sister-in-law has made it big."
The second son's wife washed rice in the pot, "Her mother is here, there must be good news. It's good that the third brother's wife is out. When she makes her way out, we can do the same with her. Don't be too superficial."
The eldest daughter-in-law thought about it carefully and clapped her hands, "That's right."
Not to mention just following and learning a little bit, and getting a foothold in the county, they can return to the village with pride.
She chuckled, "Am I that kind of person? I just hope she's well. Only when she's well, I'm well too. Harmony brings wealth."
The second son's wife chuckled. "What she has is hers, and what we have is ours. We are down-to-earth, so why would we worry about going hungry? She has three children to raise at home, and the pressure is quite great.
Without the help of the elders on both sides, I don’t know how I would have gotten through the day.”
The two of them were talking to each other, and I was talking to each other, and the atmosphere was pretty good.
In the third room, Luo Jun's konjac fried chicken was already out of the pot. He used small bowls to serve a bowl to the eldest and second sons, and also served a bowl to the two elders.
The rest was used to entertain Zhang Yulan. The pheasant meat was a bit tough and not as fat as the ones raised at home, but it was well-seasoned and quite fragrant.
Zhang Yulan also ate with gusto, praising him from time to time, "Your cooking skills have improved, boy. When you go to the city in the future, you should have a good eye."
Luo Jun was so happy that he lost his mind. He bared his teeth and said in a loud voice: "Mom, don't worry. If you say east, I will definitely not go west."
His ancestors had been poor farmers for three generations, but in his generation, he unexpectedly got the advantage of his wife and moved to the city with her.
He glanced at Lu Xiaofang. His wife was indeed the lucky star of his family.
Lu Xiaofang was shy and said unhappily, "Just eat your food. Why are you looking around? The child has learned bad habits from you and can't even concentrate on eating."
Luo Hao curled his lips, knowing that his mother was talking about him. He took a bite of the chicken and ate it with relish.
Lu Xiaofang removed the bones and put the chicken in Xiaoze's bowl, and Xiaoze ate it with big mouthfuls.
Kids nowadays are not picky eaters. They will eat whatever you give them as long as it fills their stomachs.
After all, there are many people who are hungry.
After the meal, Zhang Yulan gave them a few words of advice and left before it got dark.
To avoid walking on the road at night and having accidents, which would make your family worry for no reason.
Lu Xiaofang sent her out. As they walked, the people in the brigade kept asking her, "Xiaofang, are you going to the city? Your mother is so kind. She thought of you even when she had such a good thing. Don't forget us when you become successful in the future."
"Let's go eat at the store, give us a discount."
Lu Xiaofang said politely: "Auntie, that's my mother's shop. I can't make the decision. I'm just an employee. I do whatever she says.
She still has to pay me! Of course, if you want to come, I can treat you to two skewers, but I can't give you more. You know, I have three kids to support, and money is tight. "
