Chapter 104: My arms turn into colorful wings to help me ascend to the clouds (9K words, please vote)
Jiang Xiaoyan hugged a bundle of grass and ducked out of the cornfield.

In the hot July day, she buttoned her top tightly, not exposing an inch of skin.

Jiang Xiaoyan's skin is somewhat special. If she is gently brushed by corn leaves, it will leave red marks. When it is stained by sweat, the sour taste will last for several days.

After walking to the ground and throwing away the grass in her hands, Jiang Xiaoyan rolled up her trousers, rolled up her sleeves, and unbuttoned one button on her chest.

"Whoo~"

After panting for a moment and wiping the sweat off her head, Jiang Xiaoyan squatted down and started tying up the grass.

There is already a lot of green grass accumulated on the ground, which Jiang Xiaoyan pulled out of the cornfield, and can be used as livestock feed after carrying it home.

The family raises a few sheep and a pig, which are my mother Chen Jinhua's "private money", so she plans to sell them to pay off her debts when she grows up!

And this debt was basically borrowed for her, Jiang Xiaoyan.

So after returning home from the college entrance examination, Jiang Xiaoyan took over her mother's work, lighting fires, cooking, cutting grass, and going to the fields, all without missing a beat.

My mother, Chen Jinhua, was not idle either. She used wattle sticks to weave and weave baskets every day. On market days, she would sell them and exchange them for change, then secretly save some of them.

"I want to save money for my daughter! It's thousands of miles from Qingshui County to the capital, and I can't let my daughter suffer on the way to make a poor family rich."

A simple woman has never left a land with a radius of dozens of miles in her life, and she actually knows everything in her heart. Unlike the two grown men in the family, they just "take it easy when the boat reaches the bridge" every day.

When the really special brew arrives at Qiaotou, they don't care about anything.

Jiang Xiaoyan bent over, carrying a straw bag that was two times bigger than herself, and walked quickly back to the village.

When passing the village entrance, I did not forget to say hello to a group of aunts and grandmothers collecting shoe soles under the shade of the trees.

"Sixth Aunt, I pulled the grass in your field. My ewe is pregnant with her calf. She eats a lot these days."

"Hey Xiaoyan, you are helping our family with work. Come to my house for dinner tonight! It's not okay if you don't go."

"Third Grandma, I saw your little rich man sneaked into the lotus root pond of Lao Hu's house again. You have to take care of it. It's not cost-effective to steal a few lotus leaves and have them chased for several miles."

"Let him go! I can't control it anymore. A spanking will make the little brat remember a lot."

"Lao Jiang's family is truly blessed after a lifetime of cultivation. They found a capable daughter-in-law like your mother and gave birth to a granddaughter as capable as you."

A group of old ladies at the entrance of the village all laughed and chatted with Jiang Xiaoyan, while despising the laziness of the three Jiang family masters.

Jiang Xiaoyan smiled shyly and didn't answer. When she got home, she threw dozens of kilograms of grass into the woodshed, then turned and entered her brother's house.

Then I saw Jiang Xiaoning hugging a little book, smiling so brightly that his eyes lit up.

Looking back at the paper she gave on the table, I saw that there were only three or two fill-in-the-blank questions, and the rest were all large blanks. It was really blind to such a good blank paper.

When Jiang Xiaoning saw her sister coming in, she just rolled her eyes and read her little book with a smile.

I just got this in exchange for a classmate. Wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't read it three or five times?

Jiang Xiaoyan was too lazy to talk. This younger brother has been unable to talk since he was a child. He would jump three feet high without even saying a few words, and his grandparents would all come over for him.

Turning around and going out, I met my grandfather who was coming back with a harpoon. He came up and said, "What time is it? If you are not going to make dinner, why are you going out? I caught two fish and will make fish soup tonight."

"I'm going to welcome grandma. I'll make dinner when I get back. There's no time to delay."

Jiang Xiaoyan excused her grandpa and slipped out close to the door.

Aniang went to the market in Shuangliu Town, twenty miles away, and should be back soon.

Looking at his granddaughter who was running away with her head lowered, Mr. Jiang snorted, his brows not showing an angry look.

Jiang Xiaoyan ran to the entrance of the village and happened to see Chen Jinhua coming back from the market from a distance.

Today's business must not be very good. Chen Jinhua still has several unsold baskets of wattle on his pole.

Jiang Xiaoyan hurried over to meet Chen Jinhua, took Chen Jinhua's pole and put it on her shoulders.

Passing by the entrance of the village, a group of old women asked again with a smile: "What's wrong with Jinhua? Today's baskets are not sold out?"

Chen Jinhua said with an unlucky look: "Forget it, third aunt, today I met a fool from Taoyuan Township trying to steal a deal from me.

The big basket sells for [-] cents, and the small basket sells for [-] cents. I can't even get back the cost of selling the vitex branches. I won't do it to make a profit at a loss. Let him sell it by himself. I'll pay him to death. "

"Oh, I've long told you that this business failed. How can it be so easy for us women to make money? You'd better take care of yourself at home and let your family go out and make a living!"

"I would like to, but there is no such blessing. I have to worry and work hard all my life. Hey, I have to take a break before going home to serve those wooden lumps."

While Chen Jinhua scolded her man, she led Jiang Xiaoyan out for more than ten meters and found a shade to sit down.

Seeing her mother-in-law beating her legs, Jiang Xiaoyan said distressedly: "Mom, why don't I go cut wattle branches tomorrow! There are more and more basket weavers, and the cost is too high. I will lose money."

"Shh~~"

Chen Jinhua gave her daughter a hint and whispered: "Why do you believe everything I say? If everyone knows that weaving baskets makes money, do you still make the money?"
I have already cut all the thorns around our village. If you go to other villages to cut them, will others be willing to do it?Don't cause trouble"

Chen Jinhua took out a small bag of sesame candy from the basket while educating Jiang Xiaoyan.

"Here, mother made money and bought it for you, eat it quickly!"

"I won't eat, mother, Xiaoning hasn't eaten yet!"

"Did he see yours first? Let's eat first, and I'll save your brother's share for him!"

The two mothers pushed each other, dividing a little bit of sesame candy, tasting the faint sweet taste, diluting the slightest fatigue in the body.

After a long time, Chen Jinhua asked: "Yan'er! Are your grades coming down these days? How about I go to school with you tomorrow?"

Jiang Xiaoyan lowered her head and said, "You don't have to go, mother. Li Dayong told me when I went there last time. He would come and tell me when the results come in. He has a bicycle."

Jiang Xiaoyan was actually anxious. She couldn't help but go to the county town a few days ago, but the results of the college entrance examination had not been announced yet, so Li Dayong asked her to wait at home.

"We can't count on others," Chen Jinhua said with a serious face: "When I married your father, I still expected him to be a great hero!"

Jiang Xiaoyan felt depressed and whispered: "Dad is a little honest, but he has a good heart. Don't worry, Mom, if I can pass the exam, I will definitely pass the exam this year."

"."

The couple sat under the shade and fell into silence.

Originally, after Jiang Xiaoyan passed the college entrance examination, she firmly told her family that she would definitely pass the college entrance examination this year. After all, her estimated score was very high.

But not long after, Old Man Jiang met Jiang Xiaoyan’s former junior high school teacher.

The teacher sneered and said, "How dare your daughter apply for Beijing Aviation University? She is so ambitious!

Do you know what kind of university Beijing Airlines is?That is one of the most important points in the country, and even the top students in the city dare not apply for it! "

Professional people speak professional words, and what teachers say are just words of wisdom. No matter how Jiang Xiaoyan promises, the Jiang family won't believe her anyway.

Even Chen Jinhua, who had been happy for several days, felt empty and uncomfortable in her heart. Although she was still open-minded and energetic on the surface, Jiang Xiaoyan heard her sigh several times in the night.

Over and over again, even Jiang Xiaoyan was infected and began to worry about gains and losses.

"Yan'er, don't be discouraged. Even if you don't pass the exam this year, we will take the exam again next year. Mom can make money now, so I will definitely pay you off."

"Mom, I can really pass the exam."

Jiang Xiaoyan didn't know how to explain to her mother-in-law. Even if she really applied for Beijing Airlines and got high grades, how could she be admitted to her second and third choices?

Why don't you believe it?

"Hi, Miss Jiang, let me tell you something."

Just when Jiang Xiaoyan was frowning, an old lady came over from the entrance of the village.

"Sister Hua! Sit down, what's going on?"

Chen Jinhua asked the visitor to sit down and cheered up.Sister Hua said mysteriously: "I saw Lao Cui from the rural flour mill yesterday and he was looking for your father-in-law again."

Chen Jinhua's face darkened and she said, "Huh, aren't they still determined? They can look for them, but it's useless. My little Yan'er still has to go to school? We're not in a hurry to go on a blind date."

Sister Hua curled her lips and said: "I know you two are ambitious, but your father-in-law is not sure! I heard someone said that Lao Cui is willing to pay this number."

Chen Jinhua watched Sister Hua stretch out a finger, and she became angry and started shouting.

"The old Cui family has really good calculations. Our Xiaoyan is now a high school student and is so smart. Which unit shouldn't rush to recruit workers?
For just 100 yuan, they want to marry a wife who earns a living. What a beautiful idea! "

Sister Hua also smiled and said: "When it comes to settling accounts, our village is not as good at calculating as you, Chen Jinhua, but no matter how good you are, can you settle it with the men in your family?"

After Sister Hua finished speaking, she pointed towards the dirt road at the east end of the village and saw a strong man walking over.

Jiang Xiaoyan quickly sat up straight and wiped the sesame sugar foam from the corners of her mouth.

The person coming was his biological father, Jiang Yougui.

Chen Jinhua rolled her eyes and asked Jiang Yougui, "Where have you been hanging out?"

Jiang Yougui was stunned and hurriedly explained: "Didn't Dongzi's family build a house? I went to help for a long time, you should know!"

Chen Jinhua's nostrils were burning and she asked: "You helped others build a house, why are you back now? They don't care about food?"

Jiang Yougui smiled naively and said, "We are all good friends, and Dongzi's family is not well-off, so I don't have the nerve to eat at his house."

"You are too embarrassed to eat, so why are you so embarrassed to ask for help? If I don't cook today, will you starve to death?"

Chen Jinhua looked at her husband's silly look and became angry all the time. Is it a blessing to suffer losses all day long? Shouldn't it be regarded as a fool?
Jiang Yougui and Chen Jinhua, who have been married for 20 years, certainly know how violent their daughter-in-law can be.
So he took the lead and said: "I'll cook today, I'll cook, you can take a rest."

"You cook? If I expect you to cook, we two will starve to death."

Chen Jinhua angrily picked up the pole and walked home. It was getting late and it was time to cook.

Jiang Xiaoyan quickly stood up and followed, but her father Jiang Yougui said: "Xiao Yan'er, wait a minute, dad has something to say to you."

Jiang Yougui sat down where Chen Jinhua was sitting just now, and said quietly: "Your brother doesn't want to go to school anymore. The flour mill in the village is short of an electrician. It's a good job to be busy and tired."

Jiang Xiaoyan said nothing, but her heart kept sinking, bottomless.

Jiang Xiaoning is a junior high school student. It is impossible for him to work as an electrician at Shangxiang Flour Mill for no reason.
Jiang Yougui also couldn't bear it, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "You have been studying for more than ten years, and dad should not have stopped you from progressing.
But now, it's time for you to contribute to the family. It's ridiculous to keep a 20-year-old girl at home. "

"."

"Dad, I can pass the exam. I will have news in a few days at most. I will send money home every month from now on."

Jiang Xiaoyan took in a breath, holding back the pain and sorrow, while explaining to her father.

She knew that her father was not evil-hearted, but he was soft-hearted and naive, but he actually loved her.

But once it comes to her younger brother, the biological father who carried her all over the place when she was young, he has no choice but to compromise with fate.

"I believe you did well in the exam this year,"

Jiang Yougui looked down at the ants on the ground and said to himself, "But I asked the principal of the rural high school. The best student in their school this year only got [-] points."

"But the undergraduate course you applied for requires a minimum of 400 points, and the aviation college requires 299 points. You only got [-] last year."

Jiang Yougui rubbed his face vigorously and said: "The recruitment of workers in the rural flour mill will be the day after tomorrow at the latest. This may be the only opportunity your brother will have in his life."

"."

Jiang Xiaoyan's mind went blank, her whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and she sat motionless on the ground.

Is ten years of hard work worth but one chance for the boy at home?

I'm obviously many times better than my younger brother, why can't I let my family take a high look at me?

"I'll beat you to death, you useless thing, and you're still reading a villain's book. Why don't you wear crotchless pants?"

The angry scolding of my mother, Chen Jinhua, woke up the weak Jiang Xiaoyan.

I saw the sturdy Chen Jinhua swinging a pole and chasing Jiang Xiaoning throughout the village.

"If you can't finish even one paper in a whole day, I'll beat you to death so that you won't embarrass the Jiang family."

Jiang Xiaoning fled in panic all the way, not forgetting to defend herself: "I can't do it, and my sister won't tell me, so how can you blame me? You should hit your sister as well."

"You can't do it yourself and why are you blaming your sister? How about a lazy guy who can't make any money still blaming the God of Wealth? Does Lao Jiang's family still expect you to support the family in the future? Isn't it a shame?"

"Don't hit, don't hit, don't break your brain."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law looked like she was going to kill her, Jiang Yougui was so frightened that she quickly chased after her, breaking up the fight while chasing her.

Before and after the family of three separated, they chased each other around the village, making many people laugh.

Jiang Xiaoyan was also laughing, so much that tears came out of her eyes.

She hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe it, but the more she wiped it, the more tears she shed, and she couldn't wipe them away no matter how hard she wiped them away.

Her younger brother has been beaten and scolded by her mother since she was a child. Chen Jinhua wanted to "beat him to death" every time, but in the end she stopped because of the obstruction of her father, grandfather and grandmother.

Doesn’t this smart old lady understand that my brother has not been afraid of being beaten since ten years ago?
No, I understand.

But my mother is unwilling to give up and admit that her son is useless. She still hopes that "a filial son will emerge from the stick", so that Jiang Xiaoning can cheer up and support the old Jiang family.

Otherwise, Chen Jinhua would have just let Jiang Xiaoning do what he wanted and wouldn't care.

In fact, my expectations for Jiang Xiaoning are no less than those of Jiang Xiaoyan. She is just helpless and hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.

[Does it mean that a man must be the head of a family? 】

Jiang Xiaoyan wiped her eyes hard, inhaled hard, and adjusted her emotions according to Professor Li Ye's method.

She had to strengthen herself to face the critical moment tonight.

Since father Jiang Yougui has a showdown with him, grandpa will definitely take over the power tonight and make the final decision.

This time, Jiang Xiaoyan would never give in.

The tears stopped flowing and the snot was suppressed. Jiang Xiaoyan became stronger.

After she wiped away her tears, she saw two bicycles rushing towards her from a distance in her clear field of vision.

On the bicycle at the front was a bear-like boy, and on the other bicycle were two girls. Although they pedaled hard, they fell far behind.

The bear-like boy waved his arms, and his intermittent voice floated in the wind.

"Jiang Yan, the results are in, you got [-] points."

Jiang Xiaoyan, who was weak just now, suddenly burst out with the power of her dantian and ran out like a galloping horse.

She faced the wind and the sun and approached in the direction of Li Dayong. She just hoped to hear the real news earlier, even a second earlier.

It's been ten years, she's been waiting for ten years, and she can't wait any longer.

"Jiang Xiaoyan, the college entrance examination results are announced. You scored 470 and nine points."

The clear voice finally came through, fell into Jiang Xiaoyan's ears, and was sweet to her heart.

But she is still running with all her strength. She wants the hot wind to blow through her arms, just like giving her two colorful wings, allowing her to fly higher and higher, to the clouds.

[Nier, let me give my mother some credit. Only by going to college can you make your own decisions. Only then can you not be angry with men for the rest of your life and live the way you want. 】

Mom, I can do it!
Just wait, I will definitely help you live the life you want.
