Chapter 2342 Doomsday Survival Competition 4
The body owner needs to get up early every morning to burn firewood and cook. There is an alarm clock at home, which was given by poverty alleviation workers when they went to the countryside seven years ago. However, the alarm clock is not very accurate, so the whole family is basically used to watching the positions of the sun and moon.
The rooster usually crows between 3 and 5 o'clock, and the sun outside the window has just peeked out. According to the geographical location and season, the current time is 5:30 in the morning.
Poor her, she had no choice but to get up and shout outside: "Get up now."
Looking at the burning house, it only has grass and mud walls. There is no cement on the ground, it is all mud. The same is true from the yard outside to the other main house. There is not even a single thing of value in the house. There is no washing machine or refrigerator. The only thing that represents the entry into the electrification era is the third-hand old computer given by the poverty alleviation team in the room of the owner's younger brother, which is also a light bulb. Moreover, he is reluctant to use electricity and goes to bed early every night.
Xining felt funny. Why do you want a son, just to inherit these things?
According to the body owner's memory, he put the branches under the stove to light the fire, and then kneaded the dough. After the water boils, take it out when it's cooked, then pour some spicy oil on it, and it's breakfast.
If the owner's precious brother hadn't been at home today, breakfast would have been nothing or just some gruel made from bran and millet.
Putting the oily noodles on the wooden dining table, Xining held a bowl and squatted on the doorstep to eat with the host's mother. This made her almost unable to eat. There were no women on the table here.
It’s already 2028, and there are still no women at the table. The poorer the poorer the poorer, the more rules they have for women. Women are not allowed to study for the sake of control and to maintain the precarious male power.
After calling him several times, Zeng Yaozu, the body owner's precious brother, lazily came to the dinner table with a disheveled look on his face and ate with the body owner's father.
"Don't play with the computer at night. The computer is for you to study." Zeng Dafa, the owner of the body, deliberately lowered his voice and looked like the head of the family: "After you return to school, study hard. It is not easy for our family to support your studies. . The high school entrance examination will be held next year. If you fail to pass the high school entrance examination, you will have no choice but to return to farming or go out to work.”
Zeng Yaozu did not do well in the high school entrance examination last year, so he repeated a year and lived in a school in the town. The place here is remote, and almost 80% of the ten miles and eight villages are mountainous. Some students have to walk for an hour or two to go to school, so the school has a boarding system and they come back once a week.
"What games can be played on such a slow computer? I was checking information at night, and I told you that you don't understand either." Zeng Yaozu muttered a few words: "Give me thirty yuan, and you have to pay the class fee."
< br>
"What class fee? I just paid it last month, and I'm paying it again this time." Zeng Dafa became embarrassed and annoyed: "It's easy for me to make a few bucks."
Zeng Yaozu snorted: "Don't think I don't know. Three years ago, we opened a fast track for agricultural products and sell the things we grow online. The computer is not for me to study, but for taking orders."
Computers are naturally not something women can use, but are only for men who "do big things."
"Then you have to see how much you can grow in the ground. What you grow is sold for three yuan and five yuan per catty, plus express delivery fees. Last fall, I sold more than three hundred orders, and I made a thousand. Come on." After saying that, Zeng Dafa stood up and went to the room. When he came out, he held three crumpled ten-yuan bills and gave them to Zeng Yaozu: "If you don't get into high school this time, go find a job for me. ”
"I know." Zeng Yaozu took the money and stuffed it into his school uniform trouser pocket.
The original plot is that Zeng Yaozu is alive in this family. This precious son will naturally die and die last.
Everyone knows that class fees will not be paid every month, but they are still paid to him every time. After all, on the small street outside the school gate, the cheapest snacks such as chili strips and eggs cost one yuan a pack.
Xining deliberately followed the body master's habit and made a snoring sound while eating the noodles. He picked up a clove of garlic and took a bite. Can't be found abnormal: "I want to go out to work." Zeng Dafa frowned: "You don't know anything, what can you do when you go out? Stay at home, the matchmaker in the village is planning to introduce you to a partner. You are also nineteen, and most of the other girls Married at eighteen.”
Hehe, if you don’t understand anything, it’s because you didn’t let the body owner go to school, so you only went to school for three years, and let the body owner with decent grades help at home. He also said that it would be enough if he could write his own name and do addition and subtraction. He was just waiting to sell his daughter, earn 188,000 in gift money, and buy a wife for his son in the future.
But now the woman's family has become more and more demanding. They don't like this kind of shabby house. They want a house in the town or even the county with a price of about 200,000 yuan, which is about the same.
"Go to the factory." Xining took another bite of noodles: "The factories in the south are always in need of workers. It is said that the minimum salary for January is 3,000 for food and housing, and there can be 5,000 or 6,000 for the New Year. Work as a nanny and live in the owner's house. Yes, you can make four thousand a month with food and accommodation included. Go to the village and ask around. The girls who went out in those years all made money to send home. If they went out with their brothers, the two of them could build a three-story house after working together for five years. ”
The owner of the five-year body will be 24 years old, which is old in the local area. So let's put it another way: "If my brother is admitted to high school, he will also need money. If I send back three thousand a month, I will have thirty or forty thousand a year. If you have a good family, my parents can help me look after it first, and then come back and get married." Don’t delay things. If I go out and work for a year or two, my family will be better off.”
Zeng Dafa and Shen Zhu's mother's eyes lit up. After all, this was thirty or forty thousand a year.
Zeng Dafa thought for a while: "When did you, girl, become so good at talking?"
"I haven't heard from Aunt Zeng in the village. Her family is building a house, and Zeng Huzi earned the money by going to the factory in the south. They say that both men and women are needed, and there has always been a shortage of people who can endure hardship. This Chinese New Year is early, and many of them have already It’s time to go home for the New Year, and we are in urgent need.” Everyone in the village knew about the house building, and Zeng Dafa even went to help, giving him 30 yuan for a meal every day.
Xining sneered: "My mother also said that her family's nagging every day is not annoying. When I go to earn a big tile-roofed house, I will also let my mother and father nag in the village every day."
Now the body owner's parents were completely convinced. How could they not be tempted by such a huge amount of money? Thinking of the smile on Aunt Zeng's face when she was building a house, and how proud she would be in the future, the couple looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Zeng Da asked: "When do you plan to leave?"
"Tomorrow, go to the town first, then take a bus to the county to buy a train ticket to go to the south, just in time to send my brother to school." Xining finished the noodles in the bowl and stood up: "I've finished eating, you guys can take it together. In total, help me prepare quilts and clothes, and I still have three hundred yuan. I want to buy a train ticket. When I get to the factory, I will find a way to ask the boss to send it back in advance, so that I can celebrate the New Year at home. I will put the bowl in the basin and wash it. Let’s go out for a walk first and ask Aunt Zeng where this factory is, then say goodbye to everyone and see which factory makes more money.”
"Okay!" Shen Zhu's mother agreed immediately: "Come back early and make lunch."
"I know." After Xining sent the bowl to the kitchen, he walked out of the yard.
She didn't want to wait to get married, then get pregnant and follow her husband's family by the fire to eat two-legged beasts. If you want to get rid of your fate, you can't just wait, you have to get out first.
So she wanted to go around the village and tell everyone that she was going to work in a factory to earn money to send home, so that the matchmaker would give up her idea and the owner's parents would not regret it.
