Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 80
Jiang Mingshun was a little uneasy. Before he came out of the hospital last time, Mr. Qi thanked him as a gift. There were dozens of taels in his purse, and now he was sent so many valuable things, which made him feel that he deserved it. .

Who knows, these are nothing compared to the contents of the box.

Jiang Mingshun opened the box and was instantly blinded by the golden light inside.

"Wow!" Jiang Jinyu, who had never seen so much gold, shouted out.

She didn't know much about hairpins, but she only knew that they were made up of dozens of kinds of jewelry such as hairpins, heart picks, and mother-of-pearls.

Of course, not all heads and faces have the same composition. Different occasions and different hairstyles require different amounts of jewelry.

It seemed that Mrs. Qi had given it to them. There were only eight pieces of jewelry in the smaller box. Most of the designs were smart and cute goldfish patterns. At first glance, they were for little girls.

There were twelve items in the other box, the most conspicuous being two pure gold hairpins with a pattern of persimmons and two birds, which were a good omen that everything would go well.

It should be for Bai.

The three of them unanimously sighed at Mrs. Qi's generosity and thoughtfulness.

Jiang Mingshun took out a pair of goldfish earrings and touched them on Jiang Jinyu's ears, then regretfully put the earrings back in their place: "It's a pity that Fish Girl hasn't had her ears pierced yet, otherwise she could wear them now."

This reminded Ms. Bai, and she touched her daughter's earlobe with approval: "This is true. Logically speaking, the fish lady should have been beaten long ago."

"I was just busy and didn't think about it."

Nowadays, there are no professionals to perform ear piercing, and it is not a job performed by doctors in medical clinics. Instead, it is done by the female elders of the family themselves.

Bai found two soybeans and took them out, holding Jiang Jinyu's earlobes one after the other and kneading them.

Jiang Jinyu was pinned down on the chair and refused to move. She could only stare at the open box on the table, trying to comfort her ears that were about to suffer with beautiful jewelry.

She recalled her previous life, because she was afraid that her ears would be dirty when she was pierced outside, so she went to the largest hospital in the city to make sure that the doctor had properly disinfected her ears before piercing them.

Who would have thought that in this life, not to mention doctors, even the painless roadside ear piercing that she despised would no longer exist.

Her earlobes gradually became numb. Jiang Jinyu watched her mother take out a needle and couldn't help but tremble. She trembled and said, "Mom, why don't you just put the needle on the fire to burn it first."

"I know," Bai Shi slapped Jiang Jinyu on the head angrily: "Don't your mother know this?"

Jiang Jinyu smiled and did not dare to speak. She was really nervous.

Fortunately, Bai's skills were pretty good, and his movements were fast and accurate. Before Jiang Jinyu could react, the needle had already passed through the earlobe.

There was no white earrings at home, so Bai found two red threads and threaded them into the newly pierced ears, and said with satisfaction: "When your piercings are done, ask your father to buy you earrings to wear."

When Jiang Mingshun heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "That's natural. When the time comes, dad will take you to the Silver Building. It's up to you to choose."

In the next few days, Jiang Jinyu's life was in dire straits.

Although her newly pierced ears have not yet reached the level of infection and inflammation, they have never been very good.

Her earlobes were always a little red and swollen, and she would often get a jolt of pain when she accidentally pressed on them.

Every time he accidentally pressed his ear and woke up in pain, Jiang Jinyu would silently cry out in her heart, praying for a painless ear piercing!She doesn't mind it anymore!

After more than ten days, I finally recovered almost.

Jiang Jinyu carefully pulled out the red thread and felt it carefully for a moment to make sure there was no pain.

She happily hugged Jiang Mingshun and announced loudly: "Dad, my ear piercing is healed!" She did not forget the promise her father made. If it were not for the beautiful earrings, Jiang Jinyu said that she would never endure such torture.

Even in this world, ear piercing is a sign of female virtue.

This is what Bai told Jiang Jinyu a few days ago when the pain was so painful that she cried every day and wanted to give up. She said that only women who can survive the pain of having their ears pierced can survive the pain of giving birth. Such women can become good wives in the future. , good mother.

Jiang Jinyu disdained this method of showing noble character through artificial suffering. It was just to restrict women's freedom, piercing holes in their ears and hanging heavy "earrings" to restrict their freedom. action.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinyu thought of foot binding, and she was sincerely grateful. No matter what happened outside, they didn't have the custom of foot binding here.

In comparison, it is better to have your ears pierced. At least the pain caused by the ear piercing is not continuous. If you don't want it anymore, you can still heal without wearing earrings for a period of time.

This is also an important reason why Jiang Jinyu is willing to have her ears pierced.

Jiang Mingshun would not regret it after receiving Jiang Jinyu's hint. He had always doted on his children, so how could he damage his image as a loving father just because of a little money?

"Sure," he immediately picked up Jiang Jinyu and said cheerfully, "Dad will take you to buy earrings right now."

Since the weather is getting warmer, Jiang Mingshun has resumed punting into the city.

Today, the two of them also disembarked from the old position of the pier.

After docking the boat at a spot designated for their small fishing boats on the river bank and paying the management fee to the man who managed the place, Jiang Mingshun hugged Jiang Jinyu and squeezed out.

After walking not far, the two of them bumped into Zheng Zhongren.

Zheng Zhongren was the first to react and immediately called Jiang Mingshun: "Brother Jiang, I'm looking for you. Come with me quickly."

Although Jiang Mingshun didn't know the reason, he thought that Zheng Zhongren had helped him a lot, so he definitely didn't have bad intentions, so he followed his strength and walked aside.

The three finally stopped in a relatively quiet corner.

Before Jiang Mingshun could ask, Zheng Zhongren first explained his purpose: "Didn't Brother Jiang intend to let my little niece study in a girls' school earlier?"

Jiang Mingshun's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Did you find out about any good schools?"

Although he never got the exact news, Jiang Mingshun always kept in mind the idea of ​​sending his daughter to school.

Especially after the engagement between the Chen family and Jiang Jintao, he had been holding back his breath and wanted to send his children to a better school.

It's a pity that his son is too young and won't think about entering school for another three to five years, so he can only place his hope on his daughter who has reached school age.

Zheng Zhongren smiled proudly: "No, I came to the dock to wait for you after I got the news. I finally met you today."

Jiang Mingshun gratefully thanked him.

Zheng Zhongren didn't waste any time and immediately told all the information he had learned.

There are not many girls' schools in Guangxin County, with more than a dozen.

Excluding the ones reserved for rich business ladies and housekeepers, there is still only a small half left.

After all, other families really don’t value their girls’ education that much.
