90’s Wonderful Times

Both of these two families have elderly people at home, and each family has four children. The older one is in junior high school, and the younger one is only six or seven years old.

In the end, the price was negotiated, one hundred yuan a day, this is only the cost of accommodation, as for food, I would like to provide, but every family does not have much food, the adults have left, the land is only served by the elderly, the harvest is not good, so go out It is expensive to buy, and I don't want to touch the food stored at home.

Fortunately, Yuxi thought about it when he came here, and bought a lot when he was in the city, and prepared all the bedding by himself.

Only the mattress is missing, the bed has only wooden boards, and nothing else.

There is only one table for cooking, and there are many people in Yuxi. In the end, Nian Junwen took people to the town and bought a simple stove for banquets in the countryside, as well as some pots and bowls.

After everything was packed, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

The twins can't be idle, so it's good to be able to help, Shuo Shuo said: Mom, we want to look around.

Yuxi, Pay attention to safety. You are not allowed to play near fish ponds, and you are not allowed to harm the fruit. If you want to eat fruit, you can buy it with money. It is not easy for anyone. A fruit tree takes several years from flowering to fruiting. Have you heard that?

Shuoshuo, I heard that, we must not harm Guozi.

Yuxi waited for the children to leave, and said to Nian Junwen, What about the firewood?

The eldest child of the family in the yard stepped forward, a little shy, You can use the ones in the yard. If it's gone, my brother and I will go to the mountain to pick it up.

Yuxi looked at the firewood in the yard, it was enough for two days, she didn't have the cheek to use the firewood picked up by the child, Is there a charcoal fire seller here?

Boy, Yes, Shen Hai's family at the east end of the village has them. His family didn't sell last year, and there are quite a few left.

Yuxi was stunned, It was a cold winter last year, why haven't you sold it yet?

Boy, Shen Hai's grandpa broke his leg and no one could pull it out, so it didn't sell.

After Yuxi found out about the situation, he got someone to buy it, and he was going to buy some firewood when he came back.

After the arrangement was made, Yuxi had time to chat with the boy, why not grandparents, the old couple were getting old, and they didn't want to contact outsiders, and there were four children in the yard all the time.

The surname of this family is Mi, and the person who has been talking to Yuxi is Mi Shan, whose name is very simple.

Yuxi asked,

Are there many students in elementary school?

Mi Shan is a diligent child, and he replied while chopping wood, Many, children from nearby villages come here to go to elementary school, but very few of them went to junior high school last year. Not only is the distance too far, but also because they can't afford it. It's not because the tuition is expensive. , it’s accommodation and meals, and the schools in the town don’t have dormitories, and those who have relatives usually live with relatives, and those without relatives can only live with other people’s houses, and the phone bill for a year is too expensive.”

Yuxi asked, What about you, I heard from the village chief that you are in the second year of junior high school.

I commute back and forth, three hours back and forth is not too far.

Yuxi was silent. When she was young, her family was also poor, but the coast is close to the city, so she never had the hardship of going to school. It is really difficult for these children to go to school. If there is a place in the town that provides free accommodation, would anyone be willing to go?

Mi Shan hesitated, Accommodation only accounts for part of it, mainly food expenses. Our family has at least two, and there are three or four more children. It is unrealistic for everyone to tighten their belts for one child.

Yuxi looked at Mi Shan in surprise. Although the child was cautious when he first met them, he was not timid. After chatting, his thinking was particularly clear, and his Mandarin was also good. You surprised me.

Mi Shan smiled innocently, Our family is considered the best in the village. My parents are relatively small outsiders and earn more money. I also have the opportunity to visit outside and know the importance of knowledge.

Yuxi smiled, people have different personalities, and with the same opportunity, not everyone can become Mishan, How is your grade?

No. 1 in the town, but it is far behind the counties and cities. Our teachers are not good enough. The teachers are aging. They are all teachers who have not left before. The level of teachers is limited, and they can't afford all kinds of test books. I The number one in the town is very high, I can buy two sets of test books a year, and they were brought back by my parents, and I lent them to the teacher after I finished.

Yuxi looked deeply at the child in front of her. This child talked a lot, and she was consciously guiding her to speak. It started after she asked for free accommodation, You are very smart.

Mi Shan blushed, and lowered his head in a panic, Yuxi and Nian Junwen looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes, no matter how smart they are, they are children. This child is kind-hearted, and he also sees hope. To myself and other classmates, there is nothing wrong with seizing the opportunity, not everyone is aware of the opportunity.

Yuxi said to Nian Junwen: Let's go to the village to see.

Okay, just to buy some vegetables.

Yone Shan wanted to open his mouth several times, but finally closed it.

The air here is really good, there is no pollution, and the environment is good, but it is a pity that the development is too difficult.

Nian Junwen carried a basket in his hand and borrowed it from Mi Shan's family. The vegetable garden here is uneven and the fruits are not big, but it is not polluted and rarely uses pesticides and fertilizers.

Yuxi and his wife went to the run-down houses to buy them. The heads of the house are all children, and the old people hide when they see outsiders.

A basket of vegetables is really cheap. These children are short of money and won't ask for more money.

On the way back, I saw some children, followed by two people hired by Wang Fulu.

Shuo Shuo's children held fish tied with grass ropes, and counted four of them. Yuxi said, How much did you pay for it?

Fang Xuan, One is five yuan, four is twenty, and there is a basket of fruit, sold by the basket, twenty-one baskets.

Yuxi, ...

There are a lot of fish, at least three catties in weight, five yuan a piece is really too cheap, looking at more than ten catties of fruit for twenty, if it is in the city, it can be sold for two hundred.

Miaomiao said: Mom, you don't know, we want to give more money, but they don't want to live or die, and even say five yuan a piece is expensive. Fang Xuan continued: The children here said that the fish pond here A lot, such a big fish is worthless, if you use a car to transport it out, it will cost a lot of fuel for a round trip, and most of the fish you catch are eaten by yourself, unless you fall into a big fish, this is worth some money.”

Gui Xun smiled and said, Auntie, this place is really interesting.

Yuxi looked at Gui Xun, this kid has a serious Internet addiction, and Xinqi hasn't surfed the Internet when he comes here, so he won't be so happy when he is free for a while.

Nian Junwen looked at the time, Let's go, go back and cook.

Miaomiao raised her hand, Dad, let's cook, let's cook today.

Yuxi, ...

She really didn't have much confidence.

Yuxi only needs seven children plus the couple. The half-grown children are just when they can eat, and they eat no less than adults. Dinner is quite a lot of work.

Yuxi stood and watched for a while, then pushed her husband, I'm not dazzled!

Nian Junwen was very satisfied with the situation in front of her, Not bad, not bad.
