After talking about Zhao Xuesong, Chu's mother couldn't help but feel lucky. She couldn't help nagging, "There is no such thing as a free pie in the sky. Fortunately, I thought that the matchmaker was sincere and didn't expect to introduce a murderer son-in-law to our family." .”
After hearing this, Chu's father nodded in agreement, and then said, "Fortunately, I didn't agree to their blind date at that time, otherwise I don't know why the people in the village would laugh at our family." After saying that, he turned to look at Chu Ye, "Fortunately, you told me in advance, so our family avoided this disaster. But what should we do in the future?"
Chu Ye knew what he meant by asking. It was simply whether the Bodhisattva had said how his family could become better.
She thought for a while, then pretended to hesitate and said, "The Bodhisattva only told these two things and then left. He said that revealing too much would bring disaster to our family."
What she said was cryptic, but the old couple understood it. It was just one sentence: the secret must not be leaked.
Although today's society severely cracks down on all kinds of feudal superstitions, there are some things that people would rather believe than they don't.
What's more, everything Chu Ye said at the beginning came true, which made them trust Chu Ye even more.
Seeing Chu Ye's answer now, the old couple also knew that they shouldn't ask more questions about this kind of thing, so they didn't say anything more in the end.
Since mid-June, the weather has been getting hotter day by day, but the farmers have no time to spare, because it is the time to harvest wheat.
People wielded sickles and worked in the fields, and Chu Ye was no exception. Although she wore a straw hat while working, her fair face was still flushed by the sun for most of half a month, and her arms and calves were exposed. , also darkened several colors.
But she doesn't mind. When working in summer, tanning is inevitable. After this period of time, the skin will naturally turn white.
In addition, she still went to the mountains to pick wild plants every day in her spare time. Whenever Brother Jianwen wanted to go to town, he would call her. In a month, she also made sporadically almost ten yuan.
However, it wasn't possible to sell things every time she went there. If there were things that couldn't be sold, she would either give them directly to Brother Jianwen or give them to Mu Jiajun.
Although Mu Jiajun kept refuting it, Chu Ye also had her own opinion.
Teaching her to learn is like a gift of reincarnation. Besides, whatever Mu Jiajun had to eat before, he gave it directly to her and Sister Deng. Now she gives some wild plants and fruits, which is really insignificant.
On the first Friday of July, Chu Guangyao also went home. This time he had finished his final exams and officially started his summer vacation.
During this time, rumors about Chu Ye gradually became lively in the village.
After all, many people knew that she went to the town to take the exam. When she came back from the exam, people in the village spread gossip. Now that it is already July and the results have not been released, it has attracted a lot of people who want to know the news.
No, there were a few workers taking a break sitting beside the field. They were originally chatting about family affairs, but somehow the topic came to Chu Ye.
"Have you been on a blind date recently, Si Ya? I have a guy here, how about we arrange for them to meet?" Chu's mother was next to Aunt Li from the same village, and she asked curiously.
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy crowd was immediately attracted. No gossip can be more interesting than watching young people fall in love.
Seeing the crowd's attention, Chu's mother was shocked. If someone had said they wanted to introduce a partner to Chu Ye half a year ago, she would have agreed without saying a word.
But now it's different, not only the things Chu Ye predicted before, but also the fact that she went to take the technical secondary school exam and vowed to the old couple after returning home that she would pass the exam.
That night, Chu's father told her that Si Ya would be a promising person in the future. When she graduates and gets a job, she will marry better and our family will also benefit from it.
Because of this, she temporarily gave up the idea of letting Chu Ye go on a blind date. Thinking of this, she raised her head and said with some pride, "We are not in a hurry. She went to town to take the exam some time ago and is still waiting for the results. ”
"Why do you have to wait more than a month for results? All the students in this town have returned from vacation." Someone else answered, "Don't think I'm being harsh. The four girls in your family haven't been to school for more than half a year. Even if they take the exam, how can they do it?" How? ”
“The results haven’t come out yet, so I’m afraid I didn’t pass the exam at all.”
Originally, Aunt Li was a little embarrassed by Chu's mother's words, but now seeing that no one was very optimistic about Chu Ye's exam, she couldn't help but feel complacent.
She pretended to be generous and said, "It's still a matter of time whether Si Ya of your family can pass the exam. The candidate on my side is very good. His grandfather is the party secretary of Hedong Village. You know the family background well, so you won't treat him badly." ”
"Besides, your third sister got married there a few years ago, and the two sisters happened to have a companion."
Hearing this, Chu's mother felt a little hesitant and felt that what Aunt Li said made sense.
After all, after taking the exam, Chu Ye vowed that there would be no problem, but he never talked about it again after that.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she felt that what these people said was not unreasonable. Although she also saw Chu Ye running hard to the compound for educated youth every day, even adults didn't know how to study.
Seeing that Chu's mother's expression relaxed, someone else tried to persuade her, "Even if Si Ya really passes the exam, won't you still have to get married after graduation? What if you have high vision and find someone from other places? It doesn't mean that your life was in vain. You have a daughter? ""That's right! You have to keep one or two of your four daughters around, otherwise you can only rely on your son when you get old? Let me tell you, your son is not as comfortable as your daughter."
The more people talked about it, the more it irritated Chu's mother. Originally, she only heard Chu's father tell her that when Chu Ye got a job and made money, she could help Chu Guangyao and the family.
Now listening to their words, I feel that it is not good for this girl to be too capable. Otherwise, what will happen when the parents grow old and have no one to take care of them?
She thought about it again and again, and finally turned around and asked Aunt Li, "Tell me again about the young man you introduced."
Chu Ye didn't know about all this, and she and Brother Jianwen came to town again.
Sister Nianci is now almost six months pregnant, and Aunt Wang's family takes her very seriously. This time, Brother Jianwen is here to buy nutritional supplements.
But this time I bought something different, this time I bought seafood. The reason is that Sister Nianci said some time ago that she misses the delicious food in her hometown. She grew up by the sea, and her favorite things are shrimp and fish. However, they are not close to the sea here, and she has never heard of anyone eating seafood.
Sister Nianci also knew it, so she muttered it that day and didn't mention it again. However, Jianwen secretly remembered it in her heart and came to the town to buy seafood the next day. However, she ran away from the department store and went to the black market, but the shadow of the seafood Didn't see any.
Finally, he went to the department store salesperson and made a request. Finally, he increased the price and asked the department store people to transfer the goods from the south. Today Jianwen is here to pick up the goods.
When Jianwen came out, he was holding two packages wrapped in yellow paper, one package of dried shrimps and the other package of dried fish.
After all, the distance was too far, and if it was fresh seafood, it would have stunk by the time it arrived to them, so Jianwen directly ordered dried seafood, not knowing whether Nianci would like it.
Chu Ye's eyes widened and she was quite curious about these things. After looking at them for a while, she asked, "How much do these things cost?"
Jianwen put the things away, turned to look at Chu Ye, and slowly stretched out two fingers as if to sign "Yeah."
Chu Ye's eyes widened in disbelief. She recalled what she had just seen. There were only six dried shrimps and three dried fishes, right? So expensive?
Jianwen naturally saw her reaction in his eyes, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "If it's sun-dried, the price will be higher, and since it's delivered expedited, you'll pay more."
After explaining, he added one more sentence, "No matter what, we can't make Nianci suffer. It's hard for her to be pregnant. She has been suffering for the past few months. It's only this month that she can eat more."
Chu Ye recalled that Sister Nian Ci she had seen during this period was indeed in much better spirits than before. Seeing that Brother Jianwen was thinking about her so much, she was also happy in her heart. She only hoped that Sister Nian Ci could get rid of the tragedy of her previous life.
When he got home, it was almost noon. Chu Ye made a meal and waited for his family to come back. After dinner, Chu's mother quietly came to the house and wanted to mention the blind date to Chu Ye.
When she told her what happened, Chu Ye immediately guessed what was going on.
Regardless of her past life or this life, Chu's mother has always been a person with an unsteady stance. She will be good to her daughter as long as it does not affect her son. Once her son appears, everyone else will be left aside.
At the same time, in this family, she was like Father Chu's puppet. She could not refute what Father Chu said. She blindly believed that whatever Father Chu said must be right.
The same is true for other people's opinions. As long as there is a slight disturbance, Chu's mother can immediately change her original intention.
Chu Ye lowered his head and suppressed the indifference in his eyes.
She has already exhausted all hope for the woman who gave birth to her and raised her. She does not expect any maternal love from Chu's mother. She only hopes to escape from this small mountain village and never come back when she is able.
It had to be said that those people who were gossiping did indeed say some things accurately, but she definitely couldn't let Chu's mother know these things.
So she comforted Chu's mother with soft words, and promised that she would not forget her roots even if she went to study and work, and successfully coaxed Chu's mother away.
Then she took the exercise book from the table and turned to one of the pages, where various subjects and scores were clearly written.
This was the score she estimated based on recalling the questions from memory after she returned home from the exam, except that there was a question mark after the English subject.
After all, English was really not her strong point, but after the conversation between her and Mu Jiajun after the exam, she knew that English as a subject did not hold her back.
At the bottom of the paper, Chu Ye drew a line and wrote a series of numbers under the line, 600 points.
This score was enough for her to be admitted to a technical secondary school. All that was left was to wait for the admission notice to arrive.
