When he leaves, the whole village has to come to see him off, right?
The clan leader nodded, took out a thick stack of small banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Yuanyi, "This is the 123 yuan that the villagers collected overnight. Take it."
"No, Patriarch, I can't take this money."
Zhaojia Village is a small village with a total of 82 households. One hundred and twenty-three yuan is really a lot.
The villagers exchanged almost all their work points for food. Their only source of money was selling eggs in normal times and a pig in winter, but this little money was not enough for the whole family.
At this time, Su Jinyan also said: "Yes, Grandpa Clan Leader, we really can't take this money. We appreciate the kindness of the villagers, you should return the money to them. Besides, the city and the county have given me bonuses, so it will be no problem for me to settle down in Beijing."
The clan leader, however, thrust the money at Zhao Yuanyi with a calm face and said, "I told you to take it, so take it. You are the only college student in our Zhaojia Village. When you become successful in the future, don't forget your ancestors."
In the eyes of the locals, the educated youth are not considered to be from their village.
Zhao Yuanyi is the only person in their village who was admitted to university this year.
Zhao Yuanyi touched the money in his pocket and nodded carefully, "Thank you, Grandpa, I understand!"
As he said this, he took a step back, bowed to the clan leader, and then bowed to the villagers, "Thank you, uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts. Don't worry, no matter where I, Zhao Yuanyi, go, I will never forget that I am from Zhaojia Village!"
"When the younger brothers and sisters in the village are admitted to the capital, I, Zhao Yuan, will protect them all!"
"Okay, let's go quickly and don't delay the car."
The patriarch waved his hand and everyone made way.
The ox cart slowly drove out of the village, followed by another burst of 'crackling' firecrackers.
The car had already gone a mile, and the noise was still coming from time to time.
Su Jinyan couldn't help but sigh at the cohesion and deep affection of the villagers.
They usually fight and play around with each other over trivial matters, but at crucial moments, their feelings are very deep.
In her previous life, she grew up in a third-tier city. Although she had some nice neighbors, the relationship was far from this.
After a delay, when we arrived in town, it was almost time for ticket checking.
Zhao Yuanyi gave all the things to be mailed to Zhao Junhua and asked him to mail them to Su Jinyan's home. Their family only needed to take Zhao Yuanyi's two sacks of bedding filled with gold, silver, jewelry and other things with them to the capital.
Zhao Zhengjun's legs have become worse in the past two years, and he can only walk a short distance with the help of crutches. Su Jinyan holds her daughter in her arms, and Sun holds the three-year-old Zhao Qi.
After the ticket checking began, Zhao Yuanyi and Zhao Junhua carried their luggage onto the bus. Su Jinyan held her daughter, and took the half-blind Sun and Zhao Zhengjun with them as they hurriedly squeezed onto the bus.
