Wear to the 90s to farm and fall in love

When the family had dinner together in the evening, Chen Sufen said to Ding Zhong with some dissatisfaction: "You donated 300 yuan all at once today. After two days, my daughter will start school. What will I use to pay her tuition? The family can only donate 100 yuan at most. Our family has donated so much, and our family is not rich."

"I am the head of the village. Of course I have to donate more, or how about mobilizing other people to donate?" Ding Zhong said, turning his head and asking his daughter, "When will school start? How much is the tuition?"

"School starts the day after tomorrow. The tuition fee plus accommodation fee is 388 yuan in total." Ding Xiaoying replied in a low voice, bowing her head and eating in silence.

Ding Zhong nodded, frowned and said to Chen Sufen, "Don't you have any money? You pay your daughter's tuition first, I don't have any money here."

"What do you think you want to be the village chief? You don't even get tens of dollars a month, and you just add money to it all day long. I have no money!" Chen Sufen said angrily.

"Look at you, don't say this in front of the child." Ding Zhong said, comforting his daughter, "Don't worry, you can just study hard and don't worry about the tuition fee, we will find a way to pay the tuition fee for you. "

"En." Ding Xiaoying nodded, her eyes moistened.

Ding Yunfei felt sad for a while, and said: "I still have more than 100 yuan, I will give it to my sister later, and let her pay the tuition first."

Hearing this, Ding Xiaoying's face showed a little joy, but when she thought that there was still more than 200 yuan short, her delicate face was covered with sorrow.

"I also have dozens of yuan, let's give it to the child to pay the tuition first." Grandma Ding also said, she put down the bowl and got up to get the money.

"Mom, no need, you sit down and eat." Chen Sufen stopped her and said, "I still have some money, I will pay it to the child later."

Hearing this, the family breathed a sigh of relief. Ding Zhong turned his head and asked his wife: "Do you really have any money? If not, I will find a way to borrow it."

"There are still a few hundred yuan left, and there is still a little money left from selling pigs before." Chen Sufen said and glared at Ding Zhong. "If we relied on your salary alone, we would have starved to death."

Ding Zhong smiled and said: "It's good if you have money, then you can give it to your daughter and ask her to pay the tuition first, and I will find a way later if you need money later."

Two days later, the primary and junior high schools started, and Ding Xiaoying went back to school.Ding Xiaoying is in the third grade of junior high school this semester. The junior high school is in the village, tens of kilometers away from their village. Because she is far away from home and needs accommodation, Ding Xiaoying only goes home once a weekend.

After Ding Xiaoying went back to school, the family became deserted without one person.Ding Yunfei would still go out to work with Chen Sufen every day, go to the sugarcane field to weed, or ride a bicycle to the field to check how their sesame seeds are growing.

Ding Zhong is also very busy every day, busy raising funds to build roads. During this time, more and more villagers donate to the village committee. However, because the village is relatively poor, each household can only donate a few tens of dollars at most. There are more than 200 households in the village, and the funds that can be raised are far from enough to build roads.Ding Zhong had no choice but to go to the county every three days to apply for subsidies from above, and he didn't know if he could apply in the end.

It was raining that day, Ding Yunfei didn't go to work and rested at home, Chen Sufen went to work alone, Chen Sufen said to take advantage of the rain to fertilize the sugar cane, Ding Yunfei also asked her if she should go with him, Chen Sufen said No, she can go alone, so Ding Yunfei didn't go out to work, but rested at home.

Ding Zhong went out early in the morning, and went to the county to do errands on his motorcycle, and was still rushing about applying for subsidies.

The rain was falling, and Ding Yunfei felt that it was boring to be at home on a rainy day. He didn’t have a mobile phone button or a computer to watch, so he could only stay at home watching TV or listening to music. Fortunately, Grandma Ding was also at home. I don't feel so lonely and boring.

Ding Yunfei found that Grandma Ding would often show photos of her youngest son when she was at home alone during the day. Several times when he came back from work, he saw Grandma Ding sitting on the sofa alone looking at the photos of her youngest son in a daze.

No, after lunch, Grandma Ding sat on the sofa and stared sadly at the yellowed black and white photo.

Seeing Grandma Ding look so sad, Ding Yunfei was also very sad, sat silently beside Grandma Ding, looked at the gentle and elegant man in the photo, and asked curiously: "Grandma, what kind of person is Uncle? "

Grandma Ding only thought that Ding Yunfei hadn't recovered her memory. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said to Ding Yunfei slowly: "Your uncle, he is a very gentle person. He has been very sensible since he was a child. He is a teacher in our village primary school, and the children all like him very much, and he even taught you when you were in primary school."

Speaking of her youngest son, Grandma Ding had a kind smile on her face.

Ding Yunfei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Ding Shu, the uncle of the original owner and Ding Zhong's younger brother, was still a village teacher, and had taught the original owner before.

Grandma Ding said again: "It's a pity that he left at a young age. He was only 38 years old when he left."

When Grandma Ding said this, her eyes turned red.

Ding Yunfei originally wanted to ask that uncle about his children?Why didn't I see my uncle's children? Could it be that my uncle was never married during his lifetime?But seeing Grandma Ding so sad, Ding Yunfei couldn't bear to ask.

After looking at the photos for a while, Grandma Ding carefully put the photos into a small box, and then tremblingly walked into the bedroom with the box.

Affected by Grandma Ding's emotions, Ding Yunfei's mood was also a little low. Although this is the original owner's uncle, he has been here for so long, and he has already regarded the original owner's family as his own family and has feelings for him.Also, for some reason, when he heard Grandma Ding talk about the death of the original owner's uncle, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if something was stuck in his chest, very depressed.

He walked to the door and waited for a long time before calming down the inexplicable depression in his heart.

It was still raining outside, and it was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was overcast, and the rainwater was splashing on the roof tiles.

Chen Sufen and Ding Zhong haven't come back yet. It's raining so hard. I don't know if they have found a place to hide from the rain?Did you get wet from the rain?Ding Yunfei was a little worried, standing at the door of the house and looking at the dark sky anxiously.Suddenly, there was a ticking sound in the living room. He turned around and took a look. It turned out that the roof was leaking, and the rain just dripped on the wooden sofa in the living room.

Ding Yunfei hurried to the backyard kitchen and took a bucket and put it on the sofa to catch water. Then he looked up at the roof. There was a little light on a tile on the roof. It should be that the tile was blown away by the wind. There are gaps between the tiles so that rainwater can seep in.

Ding Yunfei hurriedly found a long ladder and put it on the wall of the house, then climbed up the ladder, stretched out his hand and moved the leaking tiles a few times, and he didn't climb up the ladder until there was no more dripping water. down.

As soon as he got off the ladder, he saw Lin Yipo rushing in from outside with his trouser legs rolled up and wrapped in a plastic sheet. His clothes were already more than half wet, and his hair was dripping with water.

Ding Yunfei was taken aback, and asked him with concern: "What's wrong? School is over?"

Lin Yipo nodded, and then began to gesture with his hands, pointing to the outside and then to the roof, looking anxiously at Ding Yunfei.

Ding Yunfei was at a loss: "What happened outside? What happened to the roof?"

Lin Yipo pointed to the outside of the door and the roof, gesturing non-stop.

Ding Yunfei carefully observed his gestures and asked, "Is it possible that the roof of your house is also leaking?"

Lin Yipo nodded vigorously.

"Wait for me, I'll accompany you to take a look." Ding Yunfei said and found an umbrella, and went out with Lin Yipo under the umbrella.

Soon they came to Uncle Lin's house, and saw that Uncle Lin's house was bare and leaking everywhere, and there were several broken tin buckets on the ground to catch water.Uncle Lin was standing on a wooden ladder and struggling to climb up the ladder. He probably wanted to climb up to repair the leaking tiles, but because he had a disabled leg, it was difficult to climb. Heartbroken.

Ding Yunfei hurried over and said to Uncle Lin, "Uncle Lin, I'll do it."

"Yun Fei is here," Uncle Lin greeted and climbed down from the ladder.

Ding Yunfei stepped on the ladder and quickly climbed up.

"Slow down, be careful." Uncle Lin urged worriedly from below.

Lin Yipo also stood below looking at Ding Yunfei with a worried face.

Ding Yunfei climbed to the top of the ladder in one breath, and then stood on the ladder, holding the wall with one hand, and reaching up with the other hand to reach the tiles on the high roof. The movement looked very thrilling. Uncle Lin and Lin Lin standing below Yipo was sweating for him.

"Yunfei, can you catch it? If not, come down, it's too dangerous." Uncle Lin shouted worriedly.

"It's okay, I can reach it." Ding Yunfei panted, tiptoed, and lifted his body up a certain height, so that he could reach the leaking tiles above his head.

Ding Yunfei raised his head and carefully moved the tiles. The rain that leaked from the tiles flowed down his palms to his arms, and then flowed down his arms to his body. Wet a large piece.

"Yunfei, can it be repaired? If not, come down, it's too dangerous to look at like this." Uncle Lin stood below and supported the ladder, looking up at Ding Yunfei who was high up and said worriedly.

Lin Yipo also stared at Ding Yunfei nervously, for fear that he would lose his footing and fall from above, with his heart in his throat.

"Okay, it's almost ready." Ding Yunfei panted and replied, a layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, after a long while, he finally moved the tiles, and the rain stopped flowing into them , Ding Yunfei raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and climbed down the ladder.

After repairing one leak, he repaired other leaks in the living room, and the living room finally stopped leaking.

Uncle Lin was very grateful and said to him: "I really appreciate Yun Fei."

"You're welcome." Ding Yunfei said, "I'll fix any leaks."

"The bedroom is also leaking from the rain." Uncle Lin said with some embarrassment, pointing to the door of a bedroom.

"Okay, let me take a look." Ding Yunfei said as he picked up the ladder and walked towards the door of the bedroom.

Walking into the bedroom, Ding Yunfei was stunned by the sight in front of him. The bedroom was very simple, with only a dilapidated small bed and an old table. The bed was piled with old clothes and quilts. The bed should be where Uncle Lin and Lin Yipo sleep together.There are a lot of spider webs hanging on the mottled wall, and some soil on the wall has fallen off. The house looks precarious. Ding Yunfei is worried, if there is a strong wind, will this adobe house be blown down by the wind.

The place where the rain leaked was right at the head of the bed, and water was dripping down into a plastic basin on the bed.

Ding Yunfei found a suitable place to put the ladder on the wall, then climbed up, and began to repair the tiles again.

Ten minutes later, he finally repaired the leak in the bedroom.

Uncle Lin was very grateful and said to him: "Thanks to Yun Fei today, otherwise we would have no place to sleep at night."

"You're welcome, call me if you need any help." Ding Yunfei said enthusiastically.

After finishing his work, he left Uncle Lin's house under an umbrella. When he got home, he found that Chen Sufen had already returned from work, and probably just came back. He was still wearing a raincoat, and the liberation shoes on his feet were soaked, with a lot of mud on the soles.

Chen Sufen stood under the eaves at the door, changed her raincoat and shoes, and went into the house.

Soon, Ding Zhong also came back on a motorcycle. Although he was wearing a raincoat, his clothes were still soaked by the rain, and his whole body was wet.

Seeing that they were all back, Ding Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the kitchen in the backyard to light a fire and cook.

During dinner, Ding Zhong excitedly told them that the application for the subsidy had been approved, and that the higher-ups would allocate funds to their village soon, and then their village could start building roads.

The author has something to say:

There may be some cute little ones who have doubts about the tuition fee. Let me make a note here: in the 500s, the tuition fee of middle school was about [-] yuan. Of course, the charging standard is different in each region. At that time, there were many children in poor areas. Dropping out of school is because I can't afford the tuition fees. I wrote this after I have learned about the tuition fees.The monthly salary of the village head is only a few tens of dollars, because the author has a friend whose family has been the village head for decades, so I know something about it.

Regarding the price, please don’t get too entangled, otherwise it will be very tiring to read the article. Thank you for your likes and support. I wish you a happy reading *^_^*
