"Dad, let's go to my place and put your things down, then have a meal. I'll show you around in the afternoon."
Yun Heng carried the bag and took the bag that Yun Tianxue was carrying.
Yun Tianxue smiled and said, "Actually, that's not necessary. I just came to see you and brought you some apples and some peppers from home. I'll be going to the western suburbs this afternoon."
"Since you're here, at least take a look around."
As Yun Heng walked, he glanced at Yun Tianxue. His father's waist was more hunched than before, the wrinkles on his face were deeper, and there were white hairs on his temples.
Fifty-three years old, in fact, is about the same age as Ma Tiequan and Liang Wanming, but Ma Tiequan and Liang Wanming look at least fifteen years younger than Yun Tianxue.
"Dad, when Xiaoyu went back home for the Spring Festival, didn't I tell her to tell you that she didn't need to go out anymore and just do some farm work at home? Now Xiaoyu is working and I've graduated, and there's not much money left at home. You don't have to run around with the work team anymore."
"What do you mean there's no place to spend money?"
Yun Tianxue smiled and said, "You haven't gotten married yet, so you'll need a lot of money when the time comes."
"I'm a graduate student now, so you don't have to worry about that."
"You think Dad doesn't know anything?"
Yun Tianxue smiled and said, "These past few years are different from previous years. More people in our village have been admitted to universities in recent years, and there are quite a few in our village. Marriages are all paid for by the family. Who can afford to buy a house and a car for a newly graduated kid?"
Before 2005, as long as someone in the village was admitted to university, the family would rest assured. Most college graduates from the village did not need their families to worry about their marriage. But things have been different in recent years. Even if someone is admitted to university, the family still has to worry about them.
The requirements for getting married, buying a car and a house are higher than those for children who failed to get into college.
"I'm a master's degree graduate." Yun Heng also knew that this was the fact, but he still didn't want Yun Tianxue to suffer so much again.
There are indeed several undergraduate students in the village, but Yun Heng is the only one with a master's degree, so Yun Heng is trying to change the concept.
“A master’s degree is more demanding.”
Yun Tianxue said with a smile: "Dad didn't finish junior high school, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. At any time, it is important to marry someone of equal status. A man with higher education will definitely seek a man with higher education. The higher the education level of a girl, the more requirements she will have."
For those who didn't get into college, finding someone from the rural area, with the same academic qualifications, the bride price requirements are naturally different from those for undergraduate graduates. This is also the reason why many people now feel more pressure to raise their children to get into college.
But even so, if a family has a college student, the family will still happily hold a banquet to celebrate. As long as the child is doing well, the parents' hard work will be rewarding. At least there is a goal and hope.
"You're a doctor, and doctors don't earn much. The first few years are all about learning. If Dad works a little harder, he'll be able to help you in the future."
Yun Heng's nose felt a little sore.
When Yuntian was learning to speak, he had a smile on his face and his tone sounded like he was chatting about family matters, but when Yunheng heard it, he wanted to cry.
Yun Heng himself is not in a hurry to get married. If he really cannot afford it, he will not get married for the time being. There are many people getting married in their thirties now, and many doctors actually start a family at around thirty-five.
But Yun Heng couldn't tell Yun Tianxue this. Even if he did, Yun Tianxue wouldn't listen. He might even get scolded and then work harder.
Yun Tianxue couldn't understand that it was not Yun Heng himself who didn't want to get married, but he didn't have the ability to get married, and it was because he, as a father, had no money and no ability and could not help his son.
In the eyes of many parents, raising their children to adulthood and helping their sons find wives and have children are what they should do and are the most basic responsibilities that parents should fulfill.
Yun Heng knew that the only way to relieve Yun Tianxue's pressure was to buy a house and a car and bring the money home, otherwise any persuasion would be useless.
"Brother, have you moved?"
As the three of them walked, Yun Yu felt that they were going in the wrong direction. She had been here once before and knew where Yun Heng lived.
"Yes, we moved. Now Xu Bo, Dr. Ren and I live together."
Yun Heng nodded and arrived at the community while talking.
After entering the elevator, Yun Tianxue felt a little restrained. This is a relatively high-end residential area. The elevators are very clean and the environment is quite good.
After exiting the elevator, Yun Heng found the room had a fingerprint lock. He opened the door and called out, "Dad, Xiaoyu, come in."
"Don't you need to change your shoes?"
Yun Tianxue stood at the door, not knowing where to start.
This apartment was recommended by Michelle Mi. It is the Mi family's house. It is decorated very luxuriously with wooden floors. Ren Xuedong kept the house spotless. It was the first time that Yun Tianxue saw such a house.
In recent years, rural areas are actually not that poor. Although Xihua City is an inland city in the northwestern province and its rural areas are not as wealthy as those in the south, most of the rural areas have already escaped poverty. Yun Heng's home is also a small bungalow with tiled floors, but even so, such a room still has a great impact on Yun Tianxue.
"Need not."
Yun Heng smiled and said, "This is the place we three share, no outsiders."
Yun Tianxue then entered the door, but he was still very cautious after entering, as if he was stepping on a fragile object, afraid that it would be broken.
"Brother, is this house so big?"
Yun Yu wasn't as reserved as Yun Tianxue. She walked in, took a look around, and said, "It's about 200 square meters. The rent is expensive, right?"
"It's okay. This is a friend's house. The rent is not expensive. Xu Bo pays the majority, and Ren Xuedong and I pay a smaller portion. It's not much."
