"Cough cough cough." Liu Yufeng coughed intermittently and didn't get better.
"Go to the county hospital and have a look." Wang Jian'an knew the real situation and tried to persuade her to go to the hospital but was rejected every time.
"It's useless to go to the hospital." Liu Yufeng sighed and asked him to continue reviewing without thinking too much.
During this period, Wang Jianan did not need to work in the fields except during busy farming periods. Liu Yufeng checks his learning progress every day because his foundation is so poor.
This year's college entrance examination is scheduled for July 20, which is the busiest and hottest time. There are still two months left. Wang Jian'an feels dizzy every day. If he can't continue studying, he runs to swim in the river.
Jianying and Jingwen often wrote letters to teach him how to sort out knowledge points, and they even got last year's test questions. Although Wang Jianan also took the exam, he completely forgot about it after the exam.
The sun above our head was like a big fireball, shining fiercely on the earth, seeming to radiate all the heat. The people working in the fields were all sweating profusely from the sun, the grass was soft, the flowers were hiding in the leaves, and the crops were hanging their heads.
Liu Yufeng wiped the sweat from her head and used her straw hat as a fan to fan herself. I hope there will be heavy rain and some cool breeze after harvesting the rice, otherwise I really won’t be able to hold on.
After the adults cut the rice, the little people and old people went to pick up the fallen ears of rice. It only takes five or six centimeters to pick up a day, so no matter what time of day, there are many people in the field.
"Third sister-in-law, isn't your second brother in a hurry?" During the break, the woman from Lao Li's family next door chatted with Liu Yufeng.
"Why are you so anxious? He can't even support his wife without a job." Liu Yufeng pretended not to understand the ridicule in the woman's eyes.
"It's like this. There is a girl from my mother's side. She is hard-working and capable. Her family is also pretty good. Do you want to show her to me?"
"Thank you for being considerate of him. Let's forget it. He is making noises about taking the college entrance examination right now. We will wait until the exam is over."
"It's a good idea to get into college, and the allocation is guaranteed. Your Jianying family has been very good since she was a child, and she married close to you. Your life is really good."
"No, a well-raised daughter is more useful than a son."
"Hahaha, what you said makes sense. How many boys in the village are idle, cheating and cheating."
The other party saw that she really had no idea and had to give up. Although Wang Jianan lost his job, their family had a brick house and his sister was in college. It was a good condition anyway.
She is still unmarried at the age of twenty-two, which is indeed an older age in the village. Liu Yufeng and Wang Jianan were not in a hurry, but Wang Laosan was bubbling with anxiety.
Widow Zhang has been ill recently. Not only does she have no money for medical treatment, but her eldest daughter was also injured by Zhao Laoer. This matter made her anxious, and she forced the other party to ask for a hundred yuan, otherwise she would report him for being a hooligan.
Zhao Laoer is a hungry ghost in lust. After tasting the body of a young girl, he is unwilling to touch Widow Zhang again. It's okay to give her money, but she wants her daughter to marry him.
He is really old, he is forty-five years old, and the girl is only seventeen years old. Every woman in the village scolded Widow Zhang, saying that she had even harmed her own daughter.
Widow Zhang yelled that no matter who it was, as long as she gave her a hundred yuan, the first girl, second girl, and third girl could take it away as they pleased!
Liu Yufeng looked at the big girl with numb eyes and sighed heavily. She didn't know what she could do for this poor girl.
If self-employment is now open, she can still lead a few girls to set up stalls to earn money to support herself. It's a pity that it doesn't work. The only thing we can rely on now is the Women's Federation, but the Women's Federation can only give verbal education at best, which cannot solve the problem at all.
Even if the police are called and Zhao Laoer is caught, Widow Zhang will soon find the next buyer. For her, the purpose of raising her daughter is to exchange for betrothal gifts, otherwise how can she live the rest of her life?
"Wang Laosan, what kind of person is Da Niu?" Liu Yufeng decided to understand Da Niu's situation first. Taking rash actions will only turn her into a clown.
"Big girl? Why are you asking me? Since I was arrested, I haven't looked for Widow Zhang again!" Wang Laosan said in a bad tone.
"I have something for you to do. Once it's done, I'll change your house."
"You didn't tell me earlier."
Wang Laosan now lives in a utility room, which is fine in winter but hot and stuffy in summer. There are no windows yet, so he has long wanted to change it.
Wang Laosan acted quickly. When he came back from work in the evening, he told Liu Yufeng that Da Niu said she was willing to marry Zhao Laoer. She had long known her fate. If she escaped, it would be her two sisters who would suffer.
Besides, how many people can afford a hundred yuan to marry a wife these days? With money, the sisters can drink thick porridge.
Liu Yufeng hesitated. If she saved one, it would not seriously affect the Wang family's life, and she was willing to help. Saving three of them would not only damage the Wang family's muscles and bones, but they would also not even have enough to eat in the future.
After all, she is a hypocrite. Once her own interests are touched, she chooses to let them go.
A few days later, Da Niu went to Zhao's house carrying a small bag. There was no wedding, no banquet, and no marriage certificate, but everyone agreed that she was Zhao Laoer's wife.
The sky in June is like a child's face, it changes at will. The sky was clear just a moment ago, but soon there was thunder and heavy rain.
Several thatched houses in the village have collapsed. You see, some people work in the fields on time every day, and they can barely make ends meet. Not to mention building houses, they don't even have money to repair holes.
During the summer vacation in mid-July, Jianying came back. Although she is married, she goes home to study with Wang Jianan every day.
Wu's mother urged them to have a baby quickly. She talked about it while eating and working. Even at night when the couple slept, she would eavesdrop outside the door, just to know if they had done anything.
Jianying also knew that Wu Hongjun was thirty years old and still had no children. It was understandable that her mother-in-law was anxious, but eavesdropping in the corner was too much!
"This thing is easy to handle. You will make me horny at night, and then refuse on the grounds that your mother-in-law is eavesdropping. I promise that the matter will be resolved within three days. You try not to confront your mother-in-law, and let the man solve the problem. "Liu Yufeng whispered in her daughter's ear.
Anyway, the mother-in-law will not hate her son no matter what. After all, it is the flesh that falls off the body, and the daughter-in-law may not necessarily.
"Mom, I did as you said, and the child's problem was indeed solved." Wang Jianying reported to her with a smile a few days later.
Liu Yufeng told the story about the eldest girl, because there were eight, if not ten, girls in the village who were sold by their parents for bride price. When Miaomiao went to school, there were very few girls in the class. No matter how good his grades were, his parents still chose to send their son who was last among them to study.
Since you have come to this world, you must leave some beautiful things behind. From today on, she has a bigger goal in mind.
Cicada kept calling, Liu Yufeng bent over and broke the corn. When she was waiting for work to end, she looked as if she had just been fished out of the water.
This year's college entrance examination is still in the county middle school. Because Wang Jian'an has experience, he doesn't need anyone to accompany him. He can just go with the educated youth.
"Take the exam well and don't be nervous." Liu Yufeng gave him a pen.
"Thank you, Mom, I will work hard." Wang Jian'an took the pen and left on his bicycle.
After two days of exams, Wang Jianan didn't look good when he came back. Liu Yufeng didn't give him time to be decadent. He was busy working in the fields non-stop. It was time for him to go to the fields after studying for so long.
Sure enough, the busy farm work made Wang Jianan forget about his college entrance examination results. He would have forgotten about the red list unless others reminded him.
Last year, the college entrance examination was conducted by each province. Taking into account the varying educational levels and lack of preparation of the candidates, the difficulty of the questions was not very high. This year is a nationally unified test, and the difficulty of the questions has increased a lot, especially in mathematics.
Of course Liu Yufeng doesn't know the college entrance examination questions, but her best skills are mathematics and English. Although English was not tested, the math instructor Wang Jianan was enough.
Wang Jianan was on the list, and the commune notified him to go to the county hospital for a physical examination the next day. Compared with last year, there is no political review process, which means that no matter what your family situation is, you can go to college!
Four members of the Da'an production team were admitted to college last year, but only two this year were Wang Jian'an and a female educated youth.
Many people came to congratulate her. After all, having two college students in a family was a very honorable thing in this era. In particular, it does not cost money to go to college, and students from poor areas also receive living allowances.
After the test results came out, many people came to ask for her hand in marriage, but Liu Yufeng rejected them all. Wang Laosan felt it was a pity because there were two girls whose families were in good condition.
When school started in September, Jian'an and Jianying both went to school. Wang Jianping started to go crazy and said he wanted to have a son.
Liu Yufeng chatted with Zhao Chunhua and asked her what she thought? If she doesn't want to give birth, she won't. After all, she is the one who suffers, not anyone else.
Zhao Chunhua said that she had recovered well and wanted to try again, and she accepted it regardless of whether she was a man or a woman.
Since she said this, Liu Yufeng stopped trying to persuade her.
In October, Jianying called Wu Hongjun's factory to tell her that she was pregnant. Counting the days, it’s the time I spent at home during the summer vacation.
Wu's mother was very excited after hearing this, but Liu Yufeng was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to take care of herself while going to school. It was better in the early stage, but in the later stage, I became pregnant and lived in the dormitory, which made me feel distressed just thinking about it.
Wu Hongjun plans to sell his job after the Chinese New Year and go to the city where Jianying is located to develop. It will be fully opened in another year, and now there are many self-employed people active in big cities, especially in coastal areas.
