provincial capital.

Inside the hotel.

Yang Weiguo and his wife Sun Meihong, who had just been married for a few days, were really inseparable and couldn't wait to stick together every day.

Yang Weiguo wanted to do it again.

But Sun Meihong's stomach was so hungry that she quickly pushed him away and got up to get dressed.

Yang Weiguo also got up to put on his clothes and said casually:

"The restaurant north of the hotel makes good Guobao Pork. Shall we go eat Guobao Pork later?"

"Don't go there, a portion of Guobao Pork there costs 5 yuan, the quantity is average, and the price is too high.

Let's go buy some steamed buns to eat. I'll eat two and you'll eat three. Five big steamed buns only cost 3 cents. "

Sun Meihong's eyes fell on the corner of the wall. There were all kinds of things they had bought in the provincial capital in the past few days, from clothes, shoes and hats to various daily necessities, snacks and so on.

It cost more than 400 yuan before and after, and it was like spending money like water.

The main reason is that clothes are expensive, like cotton-padded jackets. Even if you buy them cheaply, one piece costs more than 100 yuan.

"By the way, Weiguo, when I get back, do you think I can work in my employer's roe deer pen?"

After seeing the prosperity of the provincial capital, she also understood the importance of money better.

"Of course I can do the work. If you go in and do the work, can I still stop you?"

"No, I'm talking about the kind where you get paid."

"This... let's go back and ask my boss."

After packing up, Yang Weiguo went to the bun shop to buy buns.

……

Time flew by, and by the time the couple returned to Xujiatun, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The brilliant afterglow of the setting sun spreads over the small village.

The snow on the wall reflected into a pale golden color.

There were children who were not afraid of the cold running past the road with ice caps and whips in their hands. They wanted to go skiing in the river and play with ice caps.

"There are so many children in our village." Sun Meihong sighed.

"Hmm, is it cold? There was no bullock cart on the way back from the countryside."

"It's not cold. Walking in the winter is warmer, but riding in an oxcart is even colder."

After returning home and taking a short rest, Yang Weiguo came to Xu Dahai's courtyard alone.

However, only Wang Xiuxiu was making noodles at home, and Xu Dahai was not at home.

After knowing that Xu Dahai was in his mother's courtyard, Yang Weiguo didn't stay long and quickly closed the door and left.

When Yang Weiguo came to Xu Dahai's mother's yard again, he saw Xu Houtian and Xu Dahai and his son pretending to be fish in the corner of the yard.

One is holding a pocket.

The other bent over and loaded fish inside.

"Master, there are so many fish?"

Yang Weiguo's face was full of surprise.

"Well, I smashed countless dry pits. This dry pit cost fifty catties, and that dry pit cost one hundred catties.

That’s all I saved in the end. "

Xu Dahai tied a bag of fish with a smile and brought another empty bag over.

While they were talking, the third uncle came over and started to help separate the fish above one kilogram from those below one kilogram.

The ones on the left are more than a pound, small in quantity, but big in size.

On the right are fish weighing less than one pound. There are many, but each one is small. The two piles of fish are shining in the sunset.

The smell of a good harvest is blowing in your face!

These fish were all harvested recently by Xu Houtian and his third uncle, and they were roughly estimated to weigh [-] to [-] kilograms.

"I will install them all today, and tomorrow morning I can take them to the countryside and sell them to Sun Guangcai."

Yang Weiguo also helped with sorting and bagging.

The four people worked very quickly. After loading all the bags of fish onto the tractor, everyone went into the house to chat.

Xu Dahai also asked Yang Weiguo how he was doing in the provincial capital. The latter kept saying that he had a good time, but the prices were too high.

Several people laughed instantly.

The third uncle smiled and said: "After all, it is a provincial capital, so prices are naturally much higher than in our rural areas. I heard that these frozen fish can be sold for seven or eight cents per catty in the provincial capital market!"

The setting sun gradually sank to the other side of the mountain, and the sky became dark.

There were women in the village holding sticks, shouting the names of their children, and searching for them all over the village.

When Xu Dahai left his mother's hospital, Yang Weiguo also followed him out.

He had never found a chance to speak just now, and now he said that he wanted his wife Sun Meihong to also work in the roe deer circle.

The two of them stepped on the crunching snow and walked side by side towards Xu Dahai's courtyard.

Yang Weiguo's face was full of anxiety.

"You can come if you want. As for the salary, it's the same as uncle and aunt, it's 35 yuan a month. How about it?"

Xu Dahai plans to expand the breeding scale next year and continue to build a new roe deer pen, so it is okay to hire one more person.

"Okay, just do as you say, boss."

Yang Weiguo was very happy.

His own salary is 70 yuan a month, and his parents' salary is 35 yuan a month. If they add his wife in the future.

Then their whole family can earn 175 yuan a month!

He is undoubtedly quite satisfied with this total income.

Now that the matter was settled, he said goodbye to Xu Dahai and ran towards his home, striding on the snow like a happy fool.

Xu Dahai couldn't help but laugh.

The relaxed and comfortable days passed quickly, and the solar year passed in the blink of an eye.

On the second day of the solar year, the morning of November [-], [-] on the lunar calendar.

A postman braved the wind and snow to deliver the college admission notice of the second sister Xu Mei.

"congratulations!"

I'm afraid the postman fell down a lot along the way and was covered in snow.

He looked at his father Xu Houtian, his mother Yang Yuanfen, and his second sister Xu Mei with eyes full of envy.

In his impression, life took off completely after entering college!

"After all your hard work in this cold weather, come in and have a drink of water to warm yourself up!"

Mom, Dad, and the second sister felt a huge surprise coming.

Especially the second sister Xu Mei, holding the thin gray envelope, it felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Tears gradually blurred her vision. Only she knew how difficult it was along the way.

Especially after she failed the first exam, the hidden sarcasm and ridicule in the words of some relatives and friends made her even more angry, helpless and confused.

Fortunately all is over.

"No, no, I still have a few letters to send. Let's go!"

The postman stepped on the [-] big bar and left with a smile.

……

Xu Dahai took his dog to chase the roe deer in the mountains. When he returned home carrying a beaten roe deer, he learned from his wife Wang Xiuxiu that his second sister's admission notice had arrived.

"Which school?"

"It seems to be from the Black Province."

After giving the dogs warm water, Xu Dahai chopped off two roe deer legs and came to his mother's yard with Wang Xiuxiu.

The back room of Mom's courtyard has become a sea of ​​joy. Grandma, grandma, second uncle, second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, a few cousins ​​​​and aunts, plus some half-grown children, everyone is laughing and chatting, and the atmosphere is lively. very.

The small room was packed to the brim.

Regardless of what the cousins ​​think in their hearts, they must be expressing congratulations on the surface anyway.

The envelope with "Admission Notice" written in pen has been opened and placed on the counter.

Xu Dahai picked it up and looked at it, and found that the school he was admitted to was "Harbin Normal University".

"Very good, the total score is 450 points. Second sister, you scored 372 points, which is already very good!"

The second sister, Xu Mei, was holding her daughter Xiaoxiang in her arms. She just felt that she owed her a little because she chose to live on campus to prepare for the exam, so she could not see her for a week.

"By the way, don't you have to pay to go to college? Will the school pay you back?"

"Yeah, it's the same as Third Brother." Xu Dahai looked at the date of the report again, which was the seventeenth day of the first month of [-].
