Rebirth begins with the collapse of the dowry

Chapter 118 118 [Human nature dictates]

"Third brother, I am the third in the class in this final exam"

Chen Juan is a quiet-looking girl. She is tall and tall, and her appearance is inherited from her little dad. She is very handsome, but her body is too thin. She usually boards in a school under very difficult conditions and is obviously malnourished.

In Chen Yang's impression, this girl has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she almost lost her life after getting married and having a child.

Also a poor man.

Chen Yang was the third child in the Chen family's generation, and he was always popular.

So even Chen Juan's younger siblings, who hardly see each other for a whole year, always show closeness when they see him.

Just like his father Chen Deren once said, "Your child is not very promising, and you are pretty good in other aspects, especially in dealing with people, which makes me and your mother feel at ease."

"That's good, much better than last time"

Chen Yang smiled. Before, my little dad said that Chen Juan had regressed a lot in the mid-term exam and only passed the middle level in the class. At that time, he was so worried that he kept sighing.

Now it seems that there is a bit of a fuss.

It's normal for exams to fluctuate.

There is no need to worry about the ranking and scores every time.

"Look, Juan'er is better than you. If you don't study hard for a day, you can play hard."

The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish.

Little Chen Xue was holding Chen Juan's arm, looking around with a proud face.

As a result, Chen Yang pulled it out and singled it out.

The latter can be regarded as taking the opportunity to have an addiction.

Sure enough, other people's children are the best.

But then again.

Xiao Chen Xue is actually not bad.

At the end of this semester, I ranked 9th in the class. If I maintain this level until the college entrance examination, I still have a good chance of being admitted to a university.

Chen Yang's grades were poor when he was in school, and he later regretted it.

Naturally, I hope that Chen Xue can be admitted to university, enrich herself with knowledge, and don't learn from him.

"Tch, a person who got 8 points in the math test has learned to criticize others"

Chen Xue snorted, that was a real counterattack.

Open your mouth and come.

In front of everyone, Chen Yang didn't save any face.

The angle is very tricky.

Good guy.

Chen was embarrassed on the spot.

With his current status, the little girl Chen Xue dared to insult him like this.

"Why is the girl so mouthy? Your brother said you were not doing it for your own good."

The grandmother who regarded Chen Yang as a treasure in her palm couldn't stand it any longer, and turned on the calf-protecting mode on the spot.

In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded.

Including Xiao Chen Xue.

The little girl stared straight at the old grandma, and was speechless for a long time.

I thought, I can still do this.

I really don't treat my granddaughter as a granddaughter.

Her little expression also made everyone laugh.

Had dinner.

Not much work.

The little dad's house became lively.

The uncle's house, the third father's house, and their family all came to hang out.

Everyone has heard about Chen Yang making money this year.

Knowing that he was back, everyone wanted to come and talk to him, chat about family affairs, and even have sex with him.

The few families have frictions on weekdays, but they are still a family after all, and they will not really stay away from each other and be enemies for life.

Especially since everyone and Chen Yang's family didn't have any big conflicts.

After all, Chen Yang's family has moved away from Xiaojiang Village for many years, and they don't even have a chance to meet each other, so it's not easy to have conflicts.

"Your son has earned a lot of money this year. I heard from your father that the family's foreign debts have been paid off. After tomorrow, you will be 25. Now you should be thinking about getting married."

Uncle Chen Dejun has been proud of Hanyan for most of his life, and now he is holding a pot of Hanyan in his hand, sucking a few mouthfuls, coughing while talking.

This is a clichéd topic.

But the mood is different at different times.

Put it aside from previous years.

Chen Yang was very repulsed by this topic, and didn't even want to reply.

But this year is different.

Although deep down I am still not interested in this topic.

But he responded with a smile.

"I just talked about someone, let's stay like this for now, and I will get married when the time is ripe"

Very official answer.

Chen Yang guessed that Uncle and the others might not know that he has a girlfriend.

After all, Dad only found out when he entered the city this time.

"Have a girlfriend? Who is it? What do you do? When will you bring it back for your grandpa and grandma to see?"

The third father, Chen Deping, has a loud voice and a very anxious personality.

A wave of questions came directly.

When he asked, the attention of everyone in the cave, big and small, was attracted.

Especially Chen Yang's aunts.

It may be one thing to be interested in this, and the other is to compare.

After all, there are sons and daughters.

Motherhood is also selfish.

I hope that the other half of my children is the best.

In this way, their faces also have light.

You can say that this is blind comparison, but you have to admit that this is due to human nature.

"She went to college, just graduated this year, and opened a bookstore in the new district of the city."

Chen Yang introduced a few words casually.

But even with these few words, the expressions on the faces of the aunts suddenly became unnatural.

College Students?
Open a bookstore?
No one is a fool.

Based on these two pieces of information alone, one can roughly guess who Chen Yang's girlfriend is.

They are definitely better than their own children.

This strong sense of gap made everyone feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, only for a short while.

how to say.

When you are so strong that others can hardly hold a candle to, the so-called comparison and jealousy are indeed just a momentary thing.

Waited for this moment.

Everyone is in balance.

Because I know that I will never be able to catch up, and it is meaningless to continue to compare.

Just give an example.

If someone from a family similar to yours suddenly made a small fortune, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

But if you suddenly learn that he won tens of millions in lottery tickets.

The discomfort in my heart will only exist for a moment.

In the next second, you will subconsciously acquiesce to this fact, thinking that others should be better than you.

Probably this is the reason.

Chen Yang is in this situation now.

The third father and the others more or less knew that he had earned several 10 yuan this year.

In their world view, a few hundred thousand yuan is no less than the feeling of winning tens of millions in lottery tickets.

So soon I lost my jealousy.

"It's enough to get along with each other for a few months, you really plan to delay until the age of 30"

Chen Deren took this opportunity to hit his son.

Compared with before, he and Liang Yumei now have new troubles.

In the past, Chen Yang was worried that he couldn't find a partner and couldn't get married.

What now.

It's not worrying that Chen Yang can't find a partner, they all met that girl Jiang Yibai, it's very good, and they are very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

What they worry about now is that these two young people have been dragging their feet, and have no plans to get married for three to five years.

Then when will the old couple wait until they can hold their grandson.

This is what they worry about.

"Your father is right. He will be 25 after the Chinese New Year, and he will be able to get married easily. I am the father of two children at your age."

The uncle tapped the pipe and pot on his heels. He is the father of three children, and he thought he got married when he was 18 years old.

That was the era of production teams, and rural children generally got married early.

And now, his three children have already married.

Just the grandson plus the grandson, now there are five.

"I hold fast"

Facing uncle.

Chen Yang picked his head and smiled innocently.

He understood that he couldn't talk about late marriage and late childbirth in front of people like his uncle.

First of all, different generations have different ideas and concepts.

Maybe you're right, but they don't understand.

On the contrary, you will feel that your baby is too screwy.

Secondly, people need to know each other well. People like Uncle asked him to get married early. In the final analysis, it was out of good intentions for him, Chen Yang.

"Yoko, you have turned into a big boss, can you show me the way to open the Chinese New Year?"

While everyone was chatting.

Chen Yang was pulled aside by the eldest of their generation, the eldest son of the uncle's family, Chen Hai.

Chen Hai is 27 years old. He has been married for seven or eight years. He is the father of two children. He inherited his uncle's mantle and is now a well-known bricklayer in the nearby villages.

In addition to farming all year round.

I can do odd jobs, build a house, a sheep pen, etc., and earn some money to subsidize the family.

From the perspective of rural people, Chen Hai's situation is not bad.

It's just that in the past two years, it has become more and more expensive for the two dolls to go to school, and his pressure has increased a lot.

This is also a dilemma that many ordinary people will encounter.

"Brother, do you intend to continue tending the crops?"

Chen Yang looked at Chen Hai with a half-smile, and he saw the shadow of Feng Shigui from Chen Hai.

To some extent, the eldest brother has more burdens than Feng Shigui, at least Feng Shigui is not married yet.

"Oh, the more the land is planted, the less cost-effective it is, and it makes people lose heart."

Chen Hai sighed.

Their place is all dry land, and they typically depend on the sky for food.

In the past years, there was nothing to do without farming, and people would starve to death.

But it is different now. Even ordinary people have many ways out. With the prices of chemical fertilizers and seeds rising, it is better not to cultivate the land.

He spent more than 5000 yuan before and after farming this year, and kept enough for his own use. In the end, he sold a total of more than 1 yuan.

At first glance, it seems to be fine.

But it took the couple a year to get it.

think carefully.

With that labor force and time, you can just go out and do something.

Why bother.

He also calculated an account.

Even if you use your professional skills as a bricklayer, you can go to the construction site in the city to build houses for others.

The income in that year is not necessarily less than that of continuing to stay at home and farm.

"You are a bricklayer. It's not bad if you really want to go out to find a way out. I think you can go out and try after the Chinese New Year."

Chen Yang thought for a while, the sea market is now in full swing, and all walks of life are thriving.

Especially the construction industry.

Tall buildings rise almost every day.

More and more farmers choose to enter the construction site to sweat and strive for more income.

Don't talk about others.

It was Chen Yang.

When I resigned from Rongyue Repair Shop, I also thought about going to the construction site to move bricks.

A bricklayer like Chen Hai, the eldest brother, is considered a skilled job on a construction site, and the wages are not low.

If there is no 200 yuan a day, it is more than a hundred yuan.

Much better than a brick mover.

"I'm not afraid of hardships and hardships. Anyway, I'm going to be exposed to the wind and the sun. I'm mainly afraid that the wages will not be good and I will be tricked by the contractor. You are doing well now. Can you introduce me to a reliable construction site?"

Honest people speak honest words.

Chen Hai's words actually expressed the distress in the hearts of many workers who went to the city to fight.

They are not afraid of suffering, and they can endure hardship.

In terms of work alone, two city people can't do one of them.

But if you're playing tricks, it's not easy to add three rural people together.

If it is sold, it may not be possible to specify the number of people who will be given money.

There are many famous farmers who work hard for a year without getting the last dime of wages.

He was also scared just by hearing it.

Chen Hai handed Chen Yang a cigarette.

He didn't mean to say that all rural people are idiots who don't know how to play tricks.

In fact, rural people sometimes play tricks even more deeply when they are caught by urban people.

But this is by group.

People like them who go to the city to work are basically honest.

It is also basically the object of being pitted.

"You're right. There are many ways to make money now, but there are also shameless bosses everywhere."

Chen Yang nodded, deeply agreeing.

Don't say far.

Take his letter of finance as an example.

The bills have been settled since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, but until now, there are still several bosses who have not paid the agency bookkeeping fees.

In some cases, this year's performance is not good, and it is really impossible to get the money out.

This is understandable.

But some of them are purely shameless.

I kept calling and calling, and finally just played and disappeared, and I didn't even answer it.

In this regard.

Chen Yang was very angry.

He plans to terminate the cooperation with those clients immediately after the Chinese New Year.

As for the agency bookkeeping fee owed to him, it would be best to ask for it, otherwise it would be like feeding the dog.

That's all he can do.

"I do know a few contractors, and they have a good relationship. They are all my clients. It's no problem to introduce you to them after the Chinese New Year. But brother, no one can guarantee whether you can get wages or not."

Chen Yang is not a person who is used to talking big.

The experience of the past life and the present life made him see many things clearly.

Again.

When rich, everyone is aboveboard and straightforward.

But once people have no money.

It is useless to have a bottom line and principles of life.

He is willing to help his elder brother Chen Hai.

But I don't want to end up with the result of doing bad things with good intentions.
At least say everything you need to say in advance.

"You just need to be literate. My finance company may just be recruiting people after the Chinese New Year."

Chen Yang flicked the cigarette ash, and said with some regret.

The eldest brother, Chen Hai, has never been educated.

If he goes to the city to find a job, he can only suffer and suffer. It is almost unrealistic to sit in an office with an air conditioner.

"When I was young, I was so stunned, thinking that studying was useless. I stayed in school for less than a week and then went home to herd sheep. Now, the more I think about it, the more I regret it. People like us, let alone go to the capital or the magic capital. I’ve grown into a big city, even if I go to Haishi, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive, so I’ll just hide on the construction site and just work hard so I can’t starve to death.”

Chen Hai sighed for a while, and smiled wryly at himself.

Regarding this point, he really regretted it.

In recent years, I have suffered a lot because of illiteracy, and I have also suffered a lot.

If given another chance, not to mention working hard to get into college, at least know some more words, and get rid of the most primitive illiteracy status.

He thought about it all.

If you want to be able to read and write, relying on your skills as a bricklayer, even if you go to the city alone, you may not be able to do it. Maybe you can become a contractor.
