Shangtang Village.
At noon in summer, when the sun is scorching, I don’t even scream much anymore. The roar of a motorcycle came from the end of the village. The daughter of Lao Tian's family, wearing a hat and covering her face with a gauze, came back like a gust of wind.
When Tian Tian's mother heard the noise, she rolled over and sat up, quickly got up from the mat, and rushed out while waving her fan, with a hopeful look on her face:
"How's it going?"
Tian Tian took off his hat, his cheeks were flushed red, and he immediately rushed to the faucet to wash his face, while saying vaguely:
"Nothing good."
What do you mean by this, a mother can’t hear it?
At this moment, his face suddenly looked lonely: "I specifically asked people not to talk about our bodies, why can't I do this?"
Tian Tian wiped away the water droplets nonchalantly: "What's there to hide? I didn't know it during the blind date, how can I still not know it when we chat later? Don't end up being blamed for being a matchmaker."
She knew what her mother meant. Didn't she just think that her father's poor health would hinder her in dating?
It is impossible to say that there is no impact, but the problem is that Tian Tian himself is not too anxious about this matter.
When she was a daughter, she could take care of the family at home openly, but after she got married, she would have to surround her parents' family every day. No matter how reasonable people were, they would have objections, so it was better not to get married first.
The reason why Tian Tian agreed to the blind date was because Tian Tian also had selfish motives——
Her father was repairing fruit trees for others last year, and a branch got stuck in the tree and did not fall off. As a result, someone passed by and accidentally hit his eye.
I didn't have much money to begin with, but now I lost everything.
I originally thought that as long as people are good, money will be earned slowly. After he stopped thinking about it, his father seemed to finally feel relieved. His blood pressure soared and he almost had a stroke!
When I go to the hospital, I have to be sent to a large hospital in the provincial capital, and I have to recover... Even if I have medical insurance, I still owe tens of thousands of dollars after this.
Not only that, Tian Tian took too long to take leave and lost her job in clothing sales in the city.
After finally getting home and settling down, her mother was exhausted mentally and physically during this period, and she also fell down. She was undergoing infusions and recuperating, so she was able to do some small work.
The family was short of two strong laborers, and her father had to be taken care of, so the fields couldn't be taken care of. Tian Tian thought about it and decided to stay at home.
It happened that before this holiday, there was a parent-teacher meeting held at his younger brother's school in the city, and Tian Tian went there.
It was a key high school. Every year, about ten people entered the top colleges. The teacher’s words were also very sincere:
"...his grades are very good, and his grade rankings are all in the top 50... his English is really poor, parents should think of a solution, otherwise it would be a pity..."
As for country children, it is normal for them to be exposed to English only in junior high school, and it is also normal for them to fall behind.
Tian Tian's younger brother Tian Tian was only in his first year of high school and had no time to make amends.
But now, cram schools are no longer allowed, and schools no longer make up classes. If you want to improve your grades, you have to find connections with acquaintances to sneak into such small classes...
Especially for rural children’s holiday tutoring, whether it’s food, accommodation or tutoring fees, it’s a big expense.
One by one...
The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, that's all.
Tian Tian's selfish intention is: blind dates in the countryside progress very quickly. If they get along well, they will be able to visit the house after three or five dates.
According to the rules, the man has to pay 10,000 yuan, which means he will choose one in a million.
If possible, she would like to use this money to pay for her brother's tutoring fees and living expenses.
She stopped going to school after graduating from high school because she really couldn't study. But she still understands the difference between 985/211 and ordinary undergraduate courses.
However, just thinking about it, I am not selfless enough to gamble my whole life on this.
No, if we don't talk about the achievement, we haven't talked about it, so forget it. Think of other ways.
The problem now is that cram schools are waiting for no one!
I am really worried about where the money comes from.
The reason why Tian Tian's mother asked the matchmaker to hide the situation at home was because her daughter was so good. If someone fell in love with her, they would not be able to drag their daughter down...
Otherwise, many people might not agree when they hear about the mess going on in this family.
Just as he was talking, a boy about 1.7 meters tall came out of the room. He smiled and showed the dimples on his cheeks: "Sister, don't worry about the cram school. I can learn on my own."
"Besides, I plan to graduate from college and go to the junior high school in our town to be a teacher. It will be convenient to take care of my parents then. It doesn't matter whether I am a 211 or not."
If the tuition for junior college wasn't too expensive, he would have just wanted to go to junior college.
Tian Tian shook his head: "I saw people talking specifically about this application, saying that the teaching industry is very demanding now. There are dozens of normal colleges in one province. The academic requirements for teachers are getting higher and higher, and it is still tiring..."
Tian Tian's mother felt sour and couldn't help but said bitterly: "If it weren't for our poor health..."
"It's okay! Mom, why do you think so much? Taking good care of your body with my dad is better than anything else."
"Besides, I didn't go in vain today. There is an old Song family in Yunqiao Village. I heard that the girl from that family graduated from college and is very capable!"
"I spent tens of millions on Baoshan when I went home. Experts who have been to CCTV gave me step-by-step guidance on farming! On a hot day, a pound of watermelon sold for 20 yuan, and some people rushed to snatch it."
"Oh my God!"
Tian Tian's eyes widened instantly: "Really?"
"Really! I ate that watermelon. If I had money, I would buy even 41 pounds, let alone twenty-one pounds!"
Tian Tian's mother reacted: "Have you eaten? The one who served you? Isn't that very considerate? Why didn't it happen?"
According to Tian Tian's mother's simple thinking: The thoughtfulness shown in the blind date proves that his family is very sincere, so why not? Where can't it work?
"People can't."
"The uncles and aunts in that family are quite nice. They are very warm to me. They constantly add food to me during meals. They also take great care in cleaning the house - it's really nice."
From a family perspective, such parents-in-law are really good.
but……
Tian Tian told the truth: "That man is not very discerning, he doesn't seem to be very good at work, and he is not very worldly - and he wants to stay in Bay City, so I definitely can't do it."
Tian Tian's mother still felt a little regretful: "Boys, it's okay to be a little naive and a little honest... The matchmaker said that his family is reasonable and generous, and they are not the kind of picky people."
Tian Tian still shook his head: "It's really not possible. It's not a matter of being honest, it's a matter of not paying attention."
"I heard that you can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month in Bay City, and you can also work in sales, but you don't know how to be humane and worldly...then you must not be interested."
"If he doesn't care about his parents' hometown, how can he think highly of me? Can he take care of his family? I don't think he can even take care of his own family... Let's forget it."
Tian Tianma sighed.
Then Tian Tian shook her phone again: "I just happened to meet someone driving an excavator today. I left a phone number. I will contact you later to see if I can learn anything and give you some directions. We can make money at home. Pay some money."
Housekeeping is similar to getting engaged. When getting engaged, you will receive this extra red envelope. The betrothal gift is calculated separately.
There are no purely noble people in my book, and I hope you will not have higher moral requirements for the characters than ordinary people.
The situation of the teaching industry is based on the analysis of teacher Zhang Xuefeng. I personally think it is very reasonable.
