Indeed, Wang Hong failed to get money from Miao's mother.
It's not that Wang Hong doesn't have the ability, it's that the other party really doesn't.
The Miao family's money has always been given to the old son. This time, the old son fell in love with the workshop director's daughter. In order for the old son to marry his sweetheart, the Miao family even took out the old lady's coffin book.
Miao's mother was willing to pay out of her own pocket to come to Shili Brigade, not just to ask for money from Miao Hongqi.
She knew very well how rich Miao Hongqi was, and she probably couldn't even afford the travel expenses.
She planned to marry Miao Hongqi on the spot.
She had already thought about how much the bride price would be...
It didn't work out, the people were gone, and the plan failed.
She only had money for the train ticket back in her pocket. She originally wanted to blackmail the commune and the brigade, but Wang Hong kicked her out with her hair pulled back.
Mother Miao patted her pockets, knowing that her dream was broken, so she had to rush to the train station as soon as possible. There happened to be a train going to her home, so she bought a ticket without hesitation.
She didn't even ask where Miao Yulan was buried.
When Wang Hong returned to the health center from the commune, she was worried all the way.
She had asked the doctor. Miao Hongqi was afraid that she would need to recover from her injury for a month.
Although it is not spring planting and autumn harvesting at this time, and one can ask for leave without delaying the work in the fields, but Miao Hongqi has no work points and still faces famine...
Wang Hong was worried for her.
She walked with her head lowered and her brows furrowed tightly.
"Aunt Wang!"
Wang Hong felt that the voice was very familiar. She looked up and saw that it was Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe smiled and waited for her at the door of the health center.
"Why did you come out?" Wang Hong cheered up and walked over, "How is the red flag?"
"I'm getting an injection," Lin Nianhe replied, "I fell asleep."
"Ah...then this is what you are doing?"
Lin Nianhe asked directly: "You didn't get the money, did you?"
"Yeah." Wang Hong's head hurt from worry, "But after sending her away, I followed her secretly and watched her get on the train before she came back."
Wang Hong sighed and said as if to comfort herself: "I heard what she said. This time I wanted to marry Hongqi out in exchange for a bride price. Don't worry about it. As long as everything is fine... Even if it's hard for a few years, just get through it." ”
Wang Hong had the confidence to say this. In terms of difficulty, Miao Hongqi was not as difficult as she was at the beginning. She could handle it, and she believed Miao Hongqi could too.
Lin Nianhe was not surprised at all. She took out the thirty yuan she had prepared long ago from her pocket and gave it to Wang Hong: "Let's just say it was the medical expenses she paid."
The money was the change she had specially pulled out, a thick pile, specially selected old ones.
Wang Hong looked at Lin Nianhe in astonishment: "What do you mean?"
Lin Nianhe smiled and said, "Everyone is in trouble, so just help if you can."
Wang Hong actually thought about giving some subsidies to Miao Hongqi herself.
But her salary was just enough to support her three daughters, and it came at a critical moment when Wang Xixi was getting married. She was in the process of raising a dowry for Daxi, and she really couldn't spare the money.
Wang Hong looked at the money and hesitated, wondering whether he should accept it.
Lin Nianhe put the money into her hand and said: "Aunt Wang, in fact, you also know that if the hammer is pressed like this, let alone recuperate, she will easily force herself to death...and, after all, that is Her mother."
"Thirty yuan can change one life, I think it's worth it."
Thirty yuan doesn't sound like a lot, but in this era where every bite of food counts for one's life, this money is particularly heavy.
Lin Nianhe didn't give Wang Hong any room to refuse. She tightened her hand and helped her hold on to the money.
As a large householder with a monthly income of 2,400 yuan, this 30 yuan is really not worth mentioning to Lin Nianhe.
Just think of it as paying the tuition for Miao Hongqi's 'Watering Guide'.
This is how she explains her approach.
Anyway, she can't be haunted by the Holy Mother's heart.
She is the most beautiful cub, there is no way she can have such useless things.
Miao Hongqi's first reaction after receiving the money was——
"Aunt Wang, don't fool me. How could she give me money?"
Lin Nianhe wanted to laugh a little, knowing her mother was nothing more than a girl.
Wang Hong rolled her eyes to build up her strength: "What happened? What happened to the money? Medical expenses will not be compensated? Small benches will not be compensated? Also, didn't you mean that you have to spend money on longevity materials?"
Miao Hongqi was stunned for a long time, and then she suddenly remembered - this was their female director, there was nothing she couldn't do.
Miao Hongqi's eyes were a little hot, and she took the money with trembling hands.
The second thing she did was——
After picking out the neat and tidy money, he counted out eleven yuan and gave it back to Lin Nianhe and five cents to Wang Hong.
She said: "Nianhe, I will give you this money back, you have to keep it. Aunt Wang, you have brought me eggs these two days, I can't eat your money for nothing."
Lin Nianhe gave her thirty yuan, knowing that she would pay back the ten yuan she borrowed that day. He didn't hesitate when he heard this and took it directly: "Okay."
But Wang Hong didn't take it. She rolled her eyes and said, "It's just three eggs. How come you just have a little money and you learn to spend money so much?"
"No, Aunt Wang, I..."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense," Wang Hong waved her hand impatiently, "I still have to go back to the brigade. The commune said that a school will be built. I have to go back and study with the brigade leader on which piece of land should be allocated."
After saying this, Wang Hong walked away quickly.
In fact, this matter had nothing to do with her. She deliberately said it, mainly to remind Lin Nianhe——
The brigade is about to build a school. If you can't work, take a walk and become a teacher!
Lin Nianhe listened to her implication, pursed his lips and chuckled.
Are you a teacher, like Principal Wu?
Lin Nianhe felt that she couldn't do it.
As soon as Wang Hong returned to the brigade, she called all the villagers and educated youths to a meeting in Shaiguchang.
The first thing to do is naturally to build a school in the brigade. This is a big deal, and it is also a matter of mixed joy and sorrow for the villagers.
"Hongzi, why are you building a school? Birch Brigade isn't that far away. Children from other families can go there, so why can't those monkey boys go there?"
"Yes, Hongzi, how much does it cost to build a school? How can there be any money left!"
Wang Hong didn't wait for them to comment too much and said: "We don't need to take the money. The commune has said that someone will donate money and specify that we will build a primary school here. Besides, why do we mean that the little ones can leave? Xiao Tiezhu Wouldn't it just fall into the river? Wouldn't it hurt if it fell on my head?"
As soon as the matter of the little iron pillar falling into the river was mentioned, there were fewer objections.
Li Dahe said at the right time: "Although we don't need to get money, we have to build the house. Taking advantage of the slack period, the young and old men will work hard to build the school before the slack period, so that the little ones in the cold winter will not have to go out. Run away."
After a pause, he added: "Don't complain. These boys and girls should walk less. After school, can they make baskets of pigweed? Can they help the family with something? It's all in front of you, and you can't. Don’t worry about it.”
The villagers were impressed by the pigweed, and their enthusiasm gradually increased. If the land had not been cleared yet, they would even want to work now.
"Okay, there is one more thing that everyone should know -"
Wang Hong became a little more serious, turned up her voice and said:
"From now on, we will no longer have Miao Yulan as an educated youth in our Shili Brigade. She has changed her name to Miao Hongqi! I have been saying this to myself several times these days, so don't call her by the wrong name in the future!"
The villagers were stunned again and again. I don’t know who was the first to speak:
"What do you call Hongqi? Shufen sounds so nice."
"I think it's good to call her Xiaohua."
"This girl will be considered the girl of our brigade from now on? Then why not give her a nickname and call her Kiss."
"I think it will work!"
"..."
Miao Hongqi didn't know at this moment that when she returned to Shili Brigade, besides "Miao Hongqi", she would have many other names.
