"Captain, why are there educated youth here?"

"Yes, yes, how could there be educated youth? Aren't educated youth supposed to not participate?"

"That's right! Most of the people on the list now are educated youth."

…

The people of Zhaojia Brigade were very indignant.

They don't understand why there is such a rule now.

How unfair it is to the locals! Captain Zhao put his hands down, and everyone shut up because of his authority over the years: "Our brigade will consider building a junior high school in the future. It really won't work if you don't have enough education. And this is a task issued by the commune secretary. We have to complete it, but you vote, it's up to you. When the time comes, you can't blame me for the teacher you choose."

Everyone started chattering.

After talking about this matter, Captain Zhao asked everyone to leave and go home for dinner.

Deng Damei, who was held by Zhang Yunxi's hand, was dumbfounded: "Yunxi, you can go to participate in the teacher's selection."

"yes."

“How should we canvass for votes?”

Deng Damei looked worried.

"Let's do it!!!!" Er Gouzi pulled Zhao Mo's hand and raised it high.

Er Gouzi said to Zhang Yunxi, "Aunt, don't worry, we will take care of the canvassing and we will make sure it's done!"

"Okay, keep it up." Zhang Yunxi squatted down and high-fived him.

Er Gouzi is full of fighting spirit.

He didn't believe that there was no one who didn't like his aunt.

Zhao Mo reminded: "Don't promise any benefits. What if everyone asks Auntie for something later?"

Er Gouzi, who was reminded, reacted and nodded.

Yes.

This is very important.

What if they ask my aunt for something? "I know, Zhao Mo, let's go, we want my aunt to be our teacher, and then we can stay with her forever!"

"Um!"

Zhao Mo was also very excited.

The two people were very excited, as if they were going to do something big.

Zhang Yunxi was delighted by what he saw.

"Deng Zhiqing!" the postman called out to Deng Damei.

Deng Damei turned around and saw that it was the postman. She quickly came up to him and asked, "Is there a letter for me?"

"Yes, your letter."

The postman gave her Deng Damei's letter and called He Xiaoxiao, and finally only Zhang Yunxi was left.

Zhang Yunxi thought that according to the time she submitted her work, no one would send her a letter. Unexpectedly, the postman took out a letter and gave it to her. "I still have a letter?"

"Yes, the county gave it to you. Your last name is Shen."

The postman's voice is quite loud.

The kids who liked to hang around the postman heard it immediately.

"Cadre Shen sent a letter to Zhang Zhiqing!"

There were children shouting.

Zhang Yunxi was surprised. How did he know it was Cadre Shen? "What did he write?" Deng Damei was also curious.

She is still a little confused now, whether Yunxi wants to be with Zhao Rencheng or with Cadre Shen.

"Go home and take a look. I don't know either."

The three of them returned to the female educated youth dormitory together. He Xiaoxiao opened the box and took a look. She saw the money her parents had given her, thirty yuan in total, and she would give more if it was not enough.

The letter was a large piece of paper, with no more than fifty words. It was all about her taking good care of herself and not getting too tired. It was no different from the previous N letters, as if she had written one and then taken it to a copy shop to print dozens of copies.

He Xiaoxiao put the money and the letter away.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed in a daze.

How are her parents now? How are they doing? Is their project making any progress? When they have time, will they think about her? He Xiaoxiao fell on the bed, looking at the ceiling, her eyes unfocused.

Suddenly, a crying sound was heard beside her ears. He Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Deng Damei crying, her tears were almost wetting the letter paper.

She pulled herself up.

Then Zhang Yunxi came in from the courtyard and sat down next to Deng Damei.

"Damei, what did your parents say?"

"They said... they said, one hundred yuan is not enough, they want two hundred! They said that after I gave them two hundred yuan, they wouldn't need me to give a penny. They completely rely on my betrothal gift to help so many of my brothers and sisters get married. Do I have to divide myself into eight parts and cut them into pieces for them one by one? Only then will they be satisfied!!!" Deng Damei collapsed.

One hundred dollars is a huge sum of money for her.

Her partner, Zhao Xiaobing, did not complain at all and tried hard to find a solution. She felt happy but also grateful and guilty.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Now, Zhao Xiaobing's family pays 30 yuan for the dowry.

In today's society.

Thirty yuan is also a very good gift.

There was still seventy yuan left, which was owed to Zhao Rencheng, and the two of them planned to pay it back slowly later.

Deng Damei felt that this was her limit.

They're asking for a lot! "Can I take a look?" Zhang Yunxi asked tentatively.

"Of course! You see, what they say is not human language at all. How can anyone be so excessive? They don't treat their daughter as a human being at all!" Deng Damei raised her head and cried loudly.

Zhang Yunxi opened the letter.

Looking at the contents inside, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Damei's parents have something to say. If Deng Damei doesn't marry Zhao Xiaobing, they also have a plan.

Not afraid of Deng Damei's resistance.

Because they have people who can give a dowry of 200 yuan.

Zhang Yunxi opened her mouth and was about to tell Deng Damei about this matter, but she suddenly realized that Damei...

I don’t seem to notice.

In her eyes, there seemed to be only the words "two hundred dollars".

For a moment, Zhang Yunxi didn't know what to say.

"Yunxi, why don't you say anything? Are you angry? Don't be angry, don't be angry. My parents are like this." Deng Damei patted her back to comfort her.

Zhang Yunxi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm fine, tell me about you, how are you going to deal with it?"

"I don't know." Deng Damei shook her head.

My mind is empty.

"How about we go to the town and find the women's director?" Zhang Yunxi suggested.

"No, won't that make things worse?" Deng Damei shook her head. "Besides, the director of the Women's Department may not be able to take care of things that far. When Xiaobing's parents find out that I need 200 yuan for my wedding, and my family is making such a fuss, they will definitely dislike me. My parents will also call me an ungrateful person, and they may not let me go home. Then I will lose Xiaobing and my natal family."

"But if you continue like this, you're going to be bullied all the time?"

"Ah... I'm so confused."

"Why doesn't our brigade have a women's director?" Zhang Yunxi was curious.

"I know that!"

"Okay, tell me."

"The women's director used her position for personal gain. She was clearly an evil mother-in-law who had been bullying her daughter-in-law. She also kept occupying the position and demanded the salary. The people in the brigade prohibited her from being the women's director, so she took her grandchildren and jumped into the river. She jumped many times, and everyone thought it was fake. Unexpectedly, it was real that time, and her granddaughter died. She came to the doorsteps of every household in the brigade and cursed everyone for killing her granddaughter and demanding compensation for her granddaughter's life. Even us educated youth were scolded!"
