On this end, Qi Xiuhong pulled Qi Yuxi to wipe away tears: "An An, listen to auntie. How can you do without studying in this day and age? Look, it's getting harder and harder to find a job outside, and the university doesn't even cover the assignment. I went to Beijing University, At least you don’t have to worry about your future work. Auntie knows that you don’t pay much attention to those material things, but you will always have a family in the future. It’s not a problem for you to find a wife with good conditions, but if you don’t have enough education, you will make jokes about your mother-in-law in the future of."

Qi Yuxi listened to her aunt quietly, but wanted to say in her heart: [Auntie, you are thinking too far. 】

Qi Xiuhong wouldn't be so anxious if anyone in the family didn't go to college, but the nephew she raised as a son couldn't do it, she had to go to college.Qi Xiuhong went on to say: "Auntie knows that you are afraid of trouble if you go to Beijing. Let's study our own books in An Ansheng, so students can't be allowed to mess around in the school, right? Isn't this a society ruled by law? Auntie accompanied you You go to report, auntie go to your principal, to your teacher, tell them to take care of those students, don't tell them to bother you. But you can't stop studying. "

Qi Yuxi put her arms around her aunt's shoulders, wiped her tears with the other hand, and said, "Auntie, don't worry, even if I don't go to college, I can support myself in the future."

Qi Yuxi is a person with cold feelings, but he has always loved and protected those who love him.He hadn't seen his own mother until he was 18 years old, and he didn't want to see her so sad for his aunt, who was better than his own mother.But he really didn't want to continue studying. What he wanted to do more was to go to Zhong Nanshan to find a quiet place to concentrate on practicing.But grandparents, masters, aunts and uncles are definitely not allowed, so he didn't say anything.

When Bai Jing said this, Grandpa Qi became worried again: "Lingling said that there are many powerful people in Beijing, and most of the local students in the school have backgrounds. If you really meet someone who troubles An An..."

Bai Jing restrained a few traces of gloom in his eyes, and said in his mouth: "Don't worry, old brother, as far as An An's skill is concerned, no one can take advantage of him. There are too many good-looking children, and we have never heard of anyone who Looks good news about being bullied. This is not the old society, and I am afraid of being bullied by bullies."

Thinking about it is also the same reason, Grandpa Qi is a little relieved.Bai Jing then said in a low voice: "Based on the background of our two families, it's up to An An to go or not. He has his own ideas since he was a child, and if he doesn't want to go, no one can force him."

Grandpa Qi stared: "It's not all because of you!"

Bai Jing rolled his eyes, what does it have to do with him, forget it, if this can make the old brother feel more at ease, he will take the blame for it.

Grandpa Qi Si used to be the village head and secretary of Dongzhuang Village. Daqi's family was one of the largest families in Dongzhuang Village. Going back, Daqi's family had several village chiefs and security chiefs.Now the village party secretary and head of Dongzhuang Village is Qi Lukan, the second son of Fourth Grandpa Qi, and Qi Lugen, the eldest son, is the county magistrate of Linshui County to which Dongzhuang Village belongs.After graduating from university, Qi Lugen's eldest son, Qi Liangping, was successfully assigned to the Provincial Propaganda Department, and his daughter-in-law also worked in a certain department of the Provincial Party Committee. It can be said that he has a bright future.

Qi Xiuhong married late, but her husband Wan Fulin is the head of the organization department of the county party committee.When Wan Fulin married Qi Xiuhong, he brought a son with him, and no one could fault Qi Xiuhong for being kind to this stepson.Later, it was Grandpa Bai and Fourth Grandpa Qi who trained this restless child into Xishi Jiaotong University. After graduation, he was directly assigned to the city's traffic bureau. Now he is also a small section chief of a department.Wan Fulin didn't have any objection to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Qi Xiuhong said that he would pay Qi Yuxi's tuition and living expenses, and he was not at all happy.

Aside from Qi Juhong who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive now, the three children of Grandpa Qi's family are quite capable.This is also the reason why Fourth Grandpa Qi and Bai Jing are as close as brothers.Few people from the countryside can read, let alone in that era.The chaos in the country caused by the ten-year turmoil meant that children in the cities stopped studying, but the four children of Grandpa Qi’s family used all their spare time to read and write, and they also cherished the opportunity to study.And it was Bai Jing who gave them this chance.

Bai Jing is knowledgeable and insightful, and he took refuge from Shangjing to Dongzhuang Village in the middle of a ten-year storm.At that time, Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan were 21 years old and Qi Lukan was only 17 years old, and they were not married yet.After the busy farming season, he followed Bai Jing to study and read.Qi Xiuhong and 11-year-old Qi Juhong also followed suit, and Grandpa Qi didn't stop them just because they were girls.Grandpa Qi Si is a village chief and knows the importance of reading. He is too happy to be happy when someone is willing to teach his children to read.Bai Jing knows a lot, and speaks an authentic Shangjing dialect. Under his influence, the children of Grandpa Qi's family can also speak Shangjing dialect. Although they also brought some local dialect, Qi Juhong's Shangjing dialect is very authentic.

Bai Jing has a deep influence on the four children of the Qi family, especially Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan who are the pillars of the family.When the college entrance examination was resumed back then, Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan also took the exam. Although they failed, they both took junior high school cram schools, and Qi Lugen even went to the agricultural technical secondary school by himself.After graduating, Qi Lugen went directly to the office of the county party committee. At that time, there were very few people with education and diplomas in the entire county.Because of his junior high school education, Qi Lukan successfully took over his father's class and became the village party secretary.Later, Qi Juhong was admitted to university and was still in Beijing. As the first college student in Dongzhuang Village's history, Grandpa Qi's family caused quite a stir at that time.

Qi Lugen's wife Tian Liu and Qi Lukan's wife Zhang Fen are typical peasant girls who can't read.The two were able to marry Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan in the first place because Grandma Qi agreed because she saw that they were honest and responsible, their natal family was not much trouble, and that they were good-looking.But after getting married, Qi Si's grandma still lamented that those who have not read books are still not good.Grandma Qi Si has never read a book, but at least she has been influenced by Bai Jing, so she still has the vision she should have.For this reason, Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan were often rejected by their own mother.

Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan, a county magistrate and a village party secretary, should not be too poor.It's just that the two families are supporting three college students, so the money is a bit stretched.Qi Liangsheng was fine when he was studying, the tuition fee was not high, he was subsidized by the state, and he also paid for distribution.When it came to Qi Pingsheng, everything else remained the same, but the distribution was not included, so I had to find a job by myself.As a result, when Qi Yunfang arrived, the university tuition fees were all paid for by herself, and the tuition fees had risen to a terrible level, and the burden on the family was instantly heavy.Qi Liangsheng Although Qi Sheng has graduated and Qi Liangsheng is also married, he still spends money.Qi Liangsheng married a girl from the provincial capital, and Qi Lugen didn't want his son to lose his head in front of his mother-in-law, so he gave a lot of gifts, a large part of which was provided by his parents.Qi Pingsheng went back to the village to start a business. As a father, he also had to take money, and the family really didn't have much money.Although the reform and opening up has been implemented now, life is much easier, but Qi Lugen is only the magistrate of a county, and he doesn't take bribes, so how can he get so much money in his hands.So when Qi Lugen said that Qi Yuxi's living expenses and tuition fees would be paid by him, Tian Liu was not happy.

Qi Lukan has three daughters. The eldest daughter has just graduated from university for two years, the second daughter is still studying, and the youngest daughter just entered university this year. They all need money.The college tuition of the three daughters has to be paid by themselves, and Qi Lukan is only a village party secretary, and his income is less than that of his elder brother Qi Lugen, so it will only be more difficult.It's easy to understand Zhang Fen's displeasure.But understanding is understanding, Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan are dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law.

Qi Lugen has a house in the village, and every time he goes back to the village, he always lives with him.This time there were a lot of people in the family, Fourth Qi Grandpa and Grandma Qi were not in the mood to cook because their grandson refused to study. Except for Qi Xiuhong who took care of the elderly in the old house, everyone else went back to their respective homes.Tian Liu was preparing dinner in the kitchen, but there was not much joy on his face.When Qi Lugen went into the kitchen and saw her, he said, "You've been putting on a face since you came back. Why don't you get angry because you don't like your mother?"

Tian Liu threw away the vegetables in his hand and said, "It's not that I don't want to pay An An, but our family Yun Fang is still studying. Before the boss got married, the family spent almost all the money, and I even borrowed money for my life. It's not that mother doesn't know about our family's situation." Tian Liu wiped away tears, "They are both grandchildren, so we can't be so biased, right? Parents usually give An'an little money..."

"Shut up!" Qi Lugen growled, blocking Tian Liu's unfinished words.He said bluntly: "No matter how poor our family is! I can get enough money for An An's study! Your nephew asked for money when he was studying, did I pay less? It's my own nephew's turn, you are so virtuous! You count the money with my old Qi’s family, right! When Liang Sheng, Ping Sheng and Yun Fang were studying, the wild ginseng dug, the medicinal materials found, and the antlers that An An dug were not money, right! The money given by parents and Uncle Bai is not money, is it? Let’s go! Did my parents and Uncle Bai pay for the construction of a greenhouse in my life? When Liangsheng got married, did my parents and Uncle Bai pay for it! Money?! The child is here today, so I don’t want to talk about you, so I’ll save some face for you, so you can take it with peace of mind.”

Qi Liangsheng, Qi Pingsheng, and Qi Yunfang who were in the house heard their father getting angry outside, and the three of them hurried out, only to see their mother crying over there, and their father's face full of anger.Regardless of the children coming out, Qi Lugen said angrily to his wife: "My old Qi family will figure out a way for An'an's study money, and it will not be used by your Tian family. In the future, your Tian family will not give it to you except for weddings and funerals. They pay a dime!"

"Father! What are you doing?" Qi Liangsheng and Qi Pingsheng went forward to hold the furious father, and Qi Yunfang also hurriedly hugged the crying mother.Qi Lugen shook off the hands of his two sons, pointed to Tian Liu and said, "Ask her what nonsense she said just now! There is no such ungrateful person in our old Qi family! Your grandparents, Grandpa Bai and An An treat you How about it, you feel your conscience! I will put my words here today! Whoever dares to say something about An An's spending money in the future will get out of my way! I am afraid of being poked in the back!"

Qi Lugen turned around and left the kitchen, Tian Liu covered his mouth and cried loudly.Qi Pingsheng looked at his elder brother helplessly, and stepped forward to comfort his mother.Qi Lugen lost his temper at home, and Qi Lukan didn't look good at home.After returning from his parents' place, Qi Lukan pointed at his daughter-in-law Zhang Fen and scolded, "What did you mean just now? Did you forget how our three daughters went to college? Tell yourself! An An is right." You aunt, how do you treat my uncle and his three sisters! You feel your conscience! Why don’t you see that you are not happy when you take the money? You are not happy when you mention the money to An’an. I knew you earlier It's such an ungrateful person, I shouldn't have let Yunxia and the others go to school in the first place!"

Zhang Fen hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that."

"You don't mean that! You pretend I didn't see your face!"

Qi Yunying and Qi Yunxiang didn't dare to say anything, they had no position when they still needed money from their families.Qi Yunxia walked up to her mother and put her arms around her shoulders and said, "Mom, for An'an's tuition and living expenses, you can pay as much as your father pays. Don't be like my aunt."

Zhang Fen said aggrievedly: "Isn't this Yunxiang going to school too? Her tuition and living expenses are also quite high."

Qi Lukan said angrily: "Even if I sell everything I can, I can still pay for her education! Yunxia and Yunying didn't pay for An An's schooling, did they? Uncle Bai didn't pay, did they? Why do you pay for being Uncle Bai? It's not because of me, Qi Lukan. Lu Kan, it's because An An is his apprentice! Yunxia and Yunying are An An's sisters!"

Zhang Fen shut up.Qi Yunxia said: "Mom, when Yunying and I were studying, Grandpa Bai gave each of us 5000 yuan. An'an also went to the forest to dig herbs and beat rabbits to sell for money. We can't take these things as we should. You are really wrong today. With me here, are you still worried about Yunxiang's tuition? Dad is an uncle, and you don't say a word, so you will embarrass Dad. Besides, An An has grown up so big, to be honest, it is not a drag Over our house. The money my father spent on An An is not as good as An An’s digging an old ginseng for our family. My father taught us since we were young that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, and you can’t be ungrateful. Your performance today is true. Disgraceful to Dad."

Zhang Fen immediately said in a panic: "I just thought of Yunxiang's tuition at that time, and it's not that I didn't want to pay An An, I just, I just got confused..."

Qi Lukan said angrily: "Now you take out all the money at home and send it to your mother, and then apologize to your mother. Don't say anything if An An reads it or not!"

Zhang Fen wiped away tears and went to the room to get the money.Qi Lukan said to his three daughters: "Your father and I have never done anything unconscionable in my life! Whether An An's tuition and living expenses are the same thing, I can't tell. It's my duty as an uncle. Who are you? If you are not satisfied, whoever speaks up now!"

Qi Yunying was the first to shake her head: "Father, you are in charge of the family affairs, and I am not dissatisfied."

Qi Yunxiang also shook her head, and Qi Yunxia comforted her father: "Father, mother is just confused for a while. I have Yunxiang's tuition and living expenses. You and mother only need to take care of An'an."

Qi Lukan's anger subsided a little, he didn't have a son, but this eldest daughter was no worse than a son.He said, "It's better if you don't get confused."

The reason why Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan are so angry is because they know very well that a large part of the reason why Bai Jing cares so much about their family is that his nephew Qi Yuxi is Bai Jing's apprentice, and he kowtowed in earnest. The apprentice who drinks tea is still the only apprentice.No one in the Qi family knew about Bai Jing's origin, not even Fourth Grandpa Qi, they only knew that he had taken refuge from Shangjing during a big storm.But they all know that Bai Jing is a capable person.Qi Yuxi once broke the hand of a relative of a city leader's family. Bai Jing personally not only resolved the matter smoothly, but also told the other party not to dare to provoke Qi Yuxi again. The Qi family knew that Bai Jing was not an ordinary person.Among other things, no one would dare to underestimate Bai Jing's superb kung fu.

The lives of Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan can be said to be influenced by Bai Jing, and they are grateful to Bai Jing.Although Qi Yuxi has a cold temper, she has nothing to say to her aunt, two uncles, and her brothers and sisters at home, and she is never vague when it is time to help.Brother and sister go to college and get married, he goes hunting in the woods, digs precious herbs and sells money to his brothers and sisters to supplement.Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan remembered Bai Jing's education and help to them, and thought of how kind this nephew was to them, that's why their daughter-in-law's performance today made them so furious.

On Qi Lugen's side, Qi Liangsheng gave his father 3000 yuan.On Qi Lukan's side, Qi Yunxia took 1000. She has just started working, she needs to rent a house in Dongpu City, and has to prepare for exams, so she doesn't have a lot of money.Qi Lugen took 7000 yuan, Qi Lukan took 5000 yuan, and sent them to his wife at night.Qi Yuxi's annual tuition fee is 5000, plus living expenses and accommodation expenses, and he is in Shangjing. Qi Yuxi eats a lot, and the annual expenses of [-] are really not much.

Both Tian Liu and Zhang Fen came.When the four of them arrived, Grandpa Qi was playing chess with Bai Jing, and Qi Yuxi was watching TV with grandma.Four people came in, Grandma Qi gave the two daughters-in-law a cold look, then turned back and continued to look, without saying a word.Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan knew that the old lady was angry.

After calling for someone, Qi Yuxi gave way to the sofa for uncle and aunt to sit on.Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan took out the money, and Qi Yuxi frowned slightly.Bai Jing stopped playing chess.

Qi Lugen: "Mother, this is what Lu Kan and I prepared for An An's first year's tuition and living expenses." Then he said to Qi Yuxi: "An An, the money for the uncle and uncle has been prepared for you. , you have to learn everything you say!"

Tian Liu hurriedly said: "Mother, it will cost a lot to go to Beijing. I'm afraid the money is not enough. We will prepare some more when An An leaves."

Zhang Fen also nodded again and again: "Yes, mother. There are many rich people in Shangjing, we can't let An An be wronged."

Grandma Qi felt better, and one of them said: "Uncle, Aunt, take it back, I don't want to go."

Qi Lugen became angry: "Other things can be decided by you, but school matters are absolutely not allowed! If you dare not go, uncle will tie you up too!"

Qi Yuxi shut up, even though everyone present knew that no one in the family could tie him down except Bai Jing.Bai Jing said at this time: "You take the money back, I have already saved An An's school expenses for him."

Grandpa Qi Si was upset: "An An is my grandson, there is no reason for you to pay for his school money."

"An'an is your grandson, and he is still my apprentice."

Fourth Grandpa Qi and Bai Jing got into a quarrel, and Grandma Qi Si thought that An An must have known her daughter-in-law's attitude, and An An didn't want it, and became even more angry.Everyone forgot that Qi Yuxi never agreed to go to school.Qi Lugen and Qi Lukan dropped the money and dragged their wife away, Qi Yuxi said to grandma: "Grandma, I don't want uncle's money."

Grandma Qi Si ignored the two quarreling old children and said dotingly: "Well, I don't want theirs. An'an, go, how can grandma's grandson not go to college."

Qi Yuxi fell silent, he didn't want to go.Grandma Qi was worried while holding this golden grandson.
