Chapter 66 Chapter 66
After making up her mind, Jia Yourui was a little excited about her decision and looked forward to her future life.
She couldn't wait any longer, so she stood up and ran to the kitchen like the wind.
"Guoye." Jia Yourui's voice was a little excited.
Jia Guoye was fiddling with firewood with his head down, and a pot of water was boiling on the earthen stove.
"Hmm?" He turned to look at her.
"I want to go to school."
The days were short and the nights were long. At this time, dusk had passed and the sky was slowly getting dark. Her eyes sparkled in the green mist. "I've decided. I'm going to repeat my studies." Give yourself a brand new life.
"Okay."
Jia Guoye nodded happily. It was rare for his eyes to be so full of emotion. He smiled so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes twisted together.
He was only four years older than Jia Yourui, but he looked much older. Jia Guoye repeated again, "That's great."
Jia Guoye stood up and said, "I've asked someone to find out Fu Du's information. I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply."
...
In short, if nothing unexpected happened, Jia Yourui's going to school was settled.
The next morning, Jia Guoye walked past his field without looking around.
Jia Mingzhang ate breakfast and went to the field slowly.
Before he got close, he saw the silhouette of Jia Guoye, standing by his field and smoking, aiming at him.
Jia Mingzhang snorted in his heart, pretended not to see him, and went to work in the field.
When Jia Guoye saw him, he immediately walked towards him.
He couldn't ignore him, Jia Guoye stood in front of him, tall and strong, blocking his line of sight while he was working.
The brat didn't let him work, and pretended to be respectful and called him: "Uncle Mingzhang, good morning."
"No, my sister doesn't live in our village."
Jia Mingzhang looked at him helplessly and said: "I just promised you yesterday to ask for you. I've been very busy these days. You have to wait for me for a few days and I will give you an answer."
Jia Guoye smiled and opened a cigarette for him. Jia Mingzhang took it and put it behind his ear.
"Mingzhang, I'm really sorry." Jia Guoye said apologetically.
He seemed to have expected his words, and said sincerely: "I won't take care of my own fields this morning. I'll just let you manage them. Whether it's moving rice or threshing rice, just tell me and I'll do it for you."
Jia Guoye put himself in such a low position, and Jia Mingzhang was speechless.
It's not that he didn't want to help. If you asked him to find out, he would do it.
It's just that Jia Mingzhang was reluctant in his heart, and wanted to delay for a few more days. Maybe Jia Guoye would change his mind and stop doing such a thing that would hurt him. After all, he still wanted Xiao Huabao to stay at home and live with Guoye.
But he didn't expect that this boy was so hopeless, he was determined to send his wife away, and he blocked him in the field early in the morning.
Alas, Jia Guoye was already like this, how could he interfere?
Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. Jia Mingzhang sighed deeply in his heart, threw the shoulder pole to Jia Guoye, pointed at him and said: "You have to carry it for me today."
Jia Guoye agreed readily: "Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it." There is
no hope, no hope, what a fool.
Jia Mingzhang smiled and shook his head, turned around and went home to change clothes, ready to go to his sister's house to bother her.
Jia Guoye left his work in the field aside and busied himself in Jia Mingzhang's field.
His hard work for others attracted the attention of other people in the field.
Jia Qiheng joked, "Guoye, if you have so much free time, why don't you do the work in my field if you have more energy? Jia Mingzhang has a son at home, and I need more manpower than he does."
Zhang Xiuhua did not tell her husband about her conversation with Jia Guoye, and Jia Qiheng did not know that his wife had been rejected when she asked Jia Guoye for money.
Jia Guoye waved his hands: "Unless I can split myself."
Jia Qiheng smiled and said: "You kid, you are biased, I treat you no worse than Jia Mingzhang, why do you help him but not me?"
Jia Guoye said: "I can't help it, I need help from others."
Someone asked: "Uncle Qiheng, why are you the only one here today, where is Aunt Xiuhua, and Yumin?" It
is actually quite common for Jia Yumin not to come, and everyone can understand it. It is not good to talk about a grown-up girl who has not yet married and is sunburned while working at her parents' home, which will affect her life.
But it is not normal for Zhang Xiuhua not to accompany Jia Qiheng to the field.
First, Jia Qiheng has no son, and there is little labor at home, so he can't handle it all by himself; second, he is in poor health, with high blood pressure and stomach problems. Zhang Xiuhua is worried about him being busy outside alone, so she always has to follow him to take care of him.
"Haha, there's something going on at home." Jia Qiheng laughed and passed it off.
He lowered his head to work, with a bitter face, and he was in pain.
He couldn't let people know that he had a fight with Xiuhua early in the morning because of Yumin.
Yumin said last week that she was dating someone. Although he and the child's mother said a few words about her, a girl who is not reserved, they understood in their hearts that the girl was old enough, and they would be anxious if she didn't date. Now that Yumin has negotiated on her own, he and Xiuhua don't have to give money to the matchmaker.
Zhang Xiuhua was surprised and anxious, and hurriedly asked who the man was. Her daughter must choose a good man and not be deceived by him.
"Oh." Jia Yumin was shy and timid, her eyes dodging: "You all know him."
"Tsk, stop beating around the bush, tell me."
"It's Brother Quanhui."
Jia Quanhui?
This is indeed an outstanding young man, and Jia Qiheng even thinks that his daughter is marrying up.
Zhang Xiuhua was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Really?"
"Yes." Jia Yumin said softly, "Really." Then she nodded.
"Oh, Quan Hui is great. My two daughters have better taste than me and both married well." Zhang Xiuhua was delighted. Jia Qiheng rolled his eyes at his wife, but he was also happy in his heart.
Quan Hui was a technician in the factory, but he actually fell in love with his illiterate daughter. It was really a shame.
"But." Jia Yumin stammered, looking at Zhang Xiuhua's eyes while speaking: "But..."
Her hesitation made Zhang Xiuhua, who was impatient, unhappy, and urged: "Just say it."
Jia Yumin looked at her, and then secretly glanced at Jia Qiheng, and opened and closed her mouth.
Zhang Xiuhua took her daughter into the house to avoid Jia Qiheng.
"Say it." She saw that Yumin didn't want to say it in front of her father.
"Mom, do we still have money?" Jia Yumin blushed and said, "Brother Quan Hui said he would marry me only after he built a new house, otherwise he would be shameless."
Zhang Xiuhua frowned: "This? Did he really say that?"
"Yes." Jia Yumin couldn't stop nodding.
Zhang Xiuhua asked, "How much does he still need?"
Jia Yumin said a number. She knew that the amount was a lot, and was afraid that her parents would not agree, so she hurriedly added, "Help me borrow it, and Quan Hui and I will pay it back slowly in the future."
"What's the hurry?" Zhang Xiuhua said, "I still trust Quan Hui."
She had a calculating look in her eyes, and her voice was not loud, but her tone was very sure: "Don't worry, mother will go out and lend it to you."
"Thank you, mother!" Jia Yumin happily hugged Zhang Xiuhua directly, "You are the best to me."
"You, usually don't make me angry, don't procrastinate when I ask you to do things, and don't give me a cold look, I will thank God." Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "Why do you hate me usually? You said I was harsh on you, that I was biased towards your sister, and now you are holding me tightly when you ask me to borrow money?"
"Hehe." Jia Yumin smiled a little embarrassedly. She grabbed Zhang Xiuhua's shoulders and said, "Mom, don't worry. I will be obedient in the future. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"But." She asked a little doubtfully, "Who will have money to lend us?" And so much money.
"Jia Guoye should have some money. Mom will go and lend it to you."
"Jia Guoye? How can he have money?" Jia Yumin thought about the tattered clothes Jia Guoye usually wore and the simple and narrow mud house he lived in. He didn't look like someone who could afford money.
"You are really a silly child." Zhang Xiuhua slapped her daughter's shoulder: "Do you think he works for nothing every day? Isn't the money he earns from selling grain and cakes all money? He has no place to spend the money, isn't it all saved?"
"And it's not just that." Zhang Xiuhua whispered to her daughter: "Jia Kaiqian dotes on his youngest daughter very much. A few years ago, he said that he would marry his daughter and would not marry her off. Since he said that, he must have saved some money to marry a husband."
