??When you go to high school, the tuition fee is unavoidable, but there are also many high school scholarships.

??Even from junior high school, the scholarship has been in Li Yuan's pocket.

??The No.1 high school scholarship in one semester has [-], which can fully cover the tuition and miscellaneous fees, and there is even a lot left over.And for the three thousand six, Li Yuan didn't get a penny, so he took it all back to Li Buqun.

??When I went to university, the tuition fee for the first year was 900 yuan, plus [-] yuan for living expenses. The [-] yuan was paid by Li Buqun.

?? For the next four years of university, all tuition fees, including accommodation and living expenses, are all earned by Li Yuan himself.

?? "I roughly calculated that the money my family spent on me these years did not exceed 5000 yuan. And the scholarship I gave to my family in the three years of high school was [-]." Li Yuanyi[-] Ten said to Qi Changqing, "When I was young, the clothes I wore were adults' clothes and the shoes were too. In the five years of elementary school, I only had a new pencil case worth two yuan, and my schoolbag was sewn from old clothes. Later When I was in junior high school, my sister bought me a new schoolbag with my scholarship. It was a defective product and the zipper was broken, so I was happy for a long time."

?? "Don't think about it, those things are in the past." Qi Changqing patted Li Yuan on the back.

?? Li Yuan raised his face and rolled his eyes, "If you say you don't want to, then you don't want to, but my dad can always show his presence."

?? "That's right, this is the backing mountain village. You grew up here, so it's not that you don't want to just say you don't want to."

??Even if you don’t think about it, you have to open your eyes. Everything in front of you is familiar, there are familiar people, and there are familiar things, and like these elders in the village, you have to walk around, otherwise people will say What is wrong with you, there must be people in the village who like to meddle in their own business and come to Li Yuan to preach.

??Anyway, it is such an environment that is neither good nor bad, nor bad. If you live in it, you will definitely be affected.

?? Back at the big house, Li Yuan changed into home clothes and spread them out on the sofa, feeling exhausted all over.

??The little fox jumped off the sofa and ran to find the red beans.

??Xu Jinmian stretched out his hand to summon Heidou, and waited for Heidou to run over. He stepped on that foot, and Heidou fell to the ground, lying on his stomach.

"Xiao Yuanzi, people have to learn to be flexible." Xu Jinmian looked ready to start the class.

??By the side, Qi Changqing hurriedly made gestures at an angle that Li Yuan couldn't see, hoping that Lafayette would help guide and operate.

??Xu Jinmian nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Your father told you to borrow money. You can judge for yourself. If you don't borrow money, it's fine. There is no need to be angry. Because your father is that kind of person, he After living for most of my life, which day didn't I come here like this?"

?? "A person's personality has been deeply ingrained, and no matter how capable others are, they cannot change it."

"What about the money, if you don't pay, can your dad still put a knife on your neck? If he really dared to do that, it would be easy, wouldn't it be solved by just BJ?"

?? "This matter is still the most important mentality. It doesn't matter what he says or does, you can do what you want or not. Look at the fourth uncle's house. Although your fourth uncle said those bad things when he saw you, but he The family is harmonious, this man has a lot of faces."

?? Facing different people, faces are not the same.

?? Like Li Yuan, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what, he only has one face, so that others will not be affected at all. In the end, it is himself who is sad.

?? It's like what the textbook says, you should respect the old and love the young, but this matter depends on the environment and place.

?? Li Yuan's grandmother, Li Buqun's own mother, is considered a very senior elder, but if the son really listens to her and obeys her filial piety, then he will definitely have to get a divorce!

??Little old lady lives like this all her life. The eldest son is married. Every day, she tries to talk to the eldest son alone, saying what is wrong with the eldest daughter-in-law. I don't like to eat fatty meat, these small things have to be treated as big things, and let the son preach to the daughter-in-law.

?? People don't say the word 'divorce', but they will keep finding faults. When the grandchildren are born, there will be more excuses to find faults. What diapers are not cleaned, and the food cooked at home is not good for the son. If you are in poor health or something, she can think of things that others can't think of.

?? For someone like Li Yuan who doesn't know how to adapt, once he meets such an elder, it will definitely be a disaster.

?? Regarding this point, Xu Jinmian saw it very thoroughly, and directly pointed it out to Li Yuan, "What others say, regardless of whether it is moral constraints or traditional constraints, first of all, we have to learn to distinguish right from wrong."

??If you know this is right, then follow it. If you know this is wrong, then don’t follow it. It’s as simple as that.

?? As for other family ties, in many cases, right and wrong are more important, especially for Li Yuan's family.

"I understand a little bit." Li Yuan covered his face with a pillow, "Ah Qing will leave on the 29th, so there are still two or three days left."

"Don't worry." Qi Changqing said hastily.

?? It's just that when we are together, day by day, it seems that several months have passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't feel much.

?? But now I feel that time flies.

?? Two or three days of work, eyes opened and closed, dark, dawn, this is a day.

??On the day of the 29th, Li Yuan got up early, loaded all the New Year’s goods he had prepared into the bullock cart, changed his clothes early, made a fool of himself with breakfast, and planned to go out.

??Qi Changqing also changed into new clothes and got into the bullock cart together.

?? In the past few days, there has been no movement from Li Buqun's side. As Xu Jinmian said, if you ask for money and don't give it, that's fine. There's no need to get angry about this kind of thing.

??When I arrived in the town, I drove directly to the city in a car. Li Yuan didn't have a driver's license, so he couldn't drive the car back to the city, so he asked Zhu Wu to go with him.

??Zhu Wu is here, followed by this little tail, Li Zeyuan.

?? "Aren't you going home for the Chinese New Year?" Li Yuan asked as he saw the child following him step by step.

?? "There is no rush to come back tomorrow, my parents are coming back to their hometown for the New Year, and they are in the town." Li Zeyuan said happily, "Brother Wu is also coming to my house for the New Year."

?? "That's good." Li Yuan followed suit.

??When the car arrived in the city, it didn't go directly to the city. Instead, it went directly to the airport. The luggage was checked in, and then Qi Changqing was sent to the plane. Li Yuan went to the city again, and finally bought some New Year's goods.

??It seems that before the Chinese New Year, there will never be enough purchases for the New Year. When you go to the mall to look around, you can always find something that is still missing at home, so you have to buy it quickly.

?? I bought some fresh fruits, nuts with good taste, etc., filled the trunk, and then rushed back.

??Back to the town, Li Yuan moved his things to the bullock cart and prepared to go back to the village.

??Zhu Wu shouted, "Call me if you need anything."

?? "I know, I won't be polite to you." Li Yuan waved his hand.

?? If there is no one around Zhu Wu, then Li Yuan will naturally avoid it a little bit. After all, there was a possibility that something happened between the two of them at the beginning, but they knew it well. Others may not be so clear, but now that Zhu Wu is around With Li Zeyuan now, there is no need for the two of them to hide anything.

??It was already late when we returned to the village, and Li Yuan didn't bother, just had a casual meal and went to bed.

??Because I was tired, I slept soundly. When I woke up, it was already bright.

?? On the day of New Year's Eve, what should be busy is still busy.

??There are a lot of ingredients to be processed, such as washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, frying meat and so on.

?? Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng are preparing for it. On the side of the big house, Xu Jinmian originally wanted to prepare it by himself, but it is okay to ask him to make dumplings and cook dumplings. It is a bit difficult for such a complicated job as cooking.

?? "Okay, you are here to help." Xu Jinmian insisted.

?? Li Yuan began to work.

??The green vegetables are washed and cut and put on a plate for later use. The meat has fried crispy meat and all kinds of fried vegetables have to be taken out and prepared, and some fresh meat is also cut and ready for later use.

??In addition to these ingredients, the cabbage needs to be cut, mixed with oil and prepared, and the dough is also mixed. Fortunately, there is a dough mixer in the kitchen, just put the flour and water and wait.

??The rest need to be stewed for a long time, so they have to be stewed now, otherwise they will occupy the stove.

??It was almost in the afternoon when Li Yuan started to cook vegetables. He was so busy that it was almost dark. If he was hungry, he could eat casually and continue to work.

??At this time, the Spring Festival Gala has almost started, but we are not finished yet, so we have to make dumplings.

??The panels were moved to the living room, Li Yuan made dumplings, Xu Jinmian rolled them, and watched TV.

?? "Vegetarian dumplings." Xu Jinmian said something.

"Well, the custom here in Kaoshan Village is like this. On New Year's Day, we eat dumplings with vegetarian stuffing." Li Yuan said while making dumplings, "It is to make dumplings with cabbage and tofu. Is the dish meat or something..."

??Anyway, this custom has been passed down, that is, eating dumplings with vegetarian fillings on Chinese New Year's Day. This is not too unbearable, and no one deliberately violates it.

?? "Today the pot needs to be cleaned, put a grate on it, and use a pressure cooker made of steamed buns and tofu. There is something like that. After twelve o'clock, you can cook dumplings. The first pot is only used to cook dumplings. Poached eggs, don’t cook meat or stir-fry vegetables, just eat today’s fried vegetables.”

??Anyway, this is how it happens year after year. Li Yuan is not clear about the specific traditional sayings, but just follow the process.

?? Wrap the dumplings and put them outside to freeze.

??Li Yuan took the blanket and handed it to Xu Jinmian. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched TV together.

??The little fox walked around the living room, seeming a little puzzled why the people he usually knew were not there, but he looked back at Li Yuan and felt relieved after making sure that Li Yuan was still there.

?? Hongdou came over to serve Li Yuan as a floor mat, but Li Yuan was not polite.

?? There are already firecrackers in the village. They are planning to go to bed early and set off firecrackers in advance. It is a farewell to the old days.

??It was almost twelve o'clock, and the sound of firecrackers quickly became denser. This was saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

"Teacher, are you hungry?" Li Yuan rubbed his eyes and asked.

?? "Not hungry." Xu Jinmian sniffed, rarely speaking with a smile like usual.

?? "Then cook dumplings tomorrow morning, just a poached egg." Li Yuan said.

??Xu Jinmian gave a soft 'hmm' and said, "Go to sleep."

?? Li Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, so he went back to his bedroom to sleep.

??Actually, I couldn't sleep soundly. There were firecrackers almost all night, so I couldn't sleep well.

?? When it was almost dawn, Li Yuan woke up all of a sudden.

??The new clothes were prepared yesterday. They were brought here and hung on the hangers. They can be worn in the morning. After wearing the new clothes, Li Yuan rubbed his eyes to wash up. When he went to the living room, Xu Jinmian was still on the sofa. He looked like he hadn't slept all night.

?? It's not appropriate to ask him to rest now, anyway, the morning is very lively.

?? "I'm going to cook dumplings." Li Yuan said.

??I went to the kitchen to cook dumplings and poached eggs. I brought all the fried dishes yesterday, and the table was full.

?? "Go to your parents' side." Xu Jinmian started to chase people away.

"Okay." Li Yuan agreed, walked to the door and looked back at Xu Jinmian.

??In such a big house, although there is a lot of food and use, and the room is still very warm, Xu Jinmian still looks very lonely sitting there by himself.

??Xu Jinmian waved his hand, and said loudly: "Go quickly. It's only today, and I'm not a child. Can I still handle this?"

"Yes." Li Yuan also waved his hand.

??When we arrived at Zheng Shu and Aunt Zheng's side, the poached eggs were already cooked, but the dumplings were not cooked yet. We waited for him to come back and started cooking.

?? "Is your teacher at home?" Sister Miao Xing has been living with Aunt Zheng. Seeing Li Yuan coming now, she asked.
