The cannon fodder of quick travel is not sad

Chapter 902 Many Children, Many Negatives 3
Li Laogen's expectation of enjoying his old age in peace has not been realized. Compared with the hard work of supporting his family when he was young, the living conditions are better now, and the children have finally grown up healthily. The test has just begun.

very anxious.

It is not easy for the family to support five children relying only on the income from the field. There is a saying in the countryside that children who are half-children eat to death. Li Laogen has four boys who are not much different in age.

It is conceivable that the pressure is huge.

So when Li Rong brought back a girl, Li Laogen was flustered.

groove!
Almost forgot one very important thing.

When the sons grow up, they are going to get married.

bride price, new house, banquet...

At that time, Li Yu was only twelve years old, and he was in junior high school, and his grades were very good.

At that time, it was not popular to go out to work, at least in Xiaozhuang Township. Although Li Rong and Li Hua had dropped out of school and returned home, they had always been farming at home. When they had nothing to do, they would go to the river to fish and pick shrimps in the mountains. Wild fruits, go to town and sell them for some money.

Yep.

Li Fu is also in junior high school.

The person Li Rong wants to marry is a girl from a neighboring village. She has a round face and a plump figure, not very good-looking. She has two shallow dimples when she smiles.

Very enjoyable.

Such girls are very popular in rural areas.

Anyway, Xiuhua fell in love with her at first glance, but unfortunately the girl's family wanted a bride price of 1000 yuan.

In the era when the price of pork was only more than one yuan, it was a sky-high price.

no way.

There are also brothers and sisters in the girl's family.

Obviously, Li Lan, who is only nine years old, is not of any use yet.

Li Laogen made a decision.

He planned to take Li Rong Li Hua and an acquaintance in the town to chop bamboo on the mountain.

There is a big mountain in Gu County, ten miles away from Hongyuan Town. The mountain is not high, but it is very steep. The road is stepped on step by step.

Yep.

There are many bamboos in the mountains.

A group of bamboo cutters was born.

Cut down the bamboo with the mouth of a bowl and drag it down from the rugged mountain.

Yes, by dragging.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and there is no means of transportation that can go up, so it can only be done by manpower.Twenty catties of bamboo can get fifty cents.

Li Laogen can pull two hundred catties in one trip, and two trips a day is ten yuan, plus Li Rong and Li Hua. .

Very good.

This work of chopping bamboo is not always available, and it is extremely hard work, so not many people are willing to do it, which makes it easier for Li Laogen.

In three months, excluding the heavy rain and deducting the food and drink, the father and son together saved more than 500 yuan.

Yep.

After all, eating mountains in the mountains.

A lot of food is ready-made, such as bamboo shoots and mushrooms, which can be sold for money.

Very happy.

Li Rong asked for 1000 yuan as a gift, and after talking about the price, there would be a lot left.As for the banquet and so on, there are so many betrothal gifts, how can there be money for it.

Li Laogen has more than one son, Li Rong. Li Hua is going to get married in two years, and he has two sons behind him. Li Yu is doing well in his studies...

Have to be careful.

On the mountain, he became thinner and darker, but his spirit was particularly good.

Laugh at everyone.

Li Rong's girlfriend finally agreed to make the deal with a dowry gift of 800 yuan. After all, everyone is poor, and if they push it any further, they will only get water from a bamboo basket.

The Li family is willing to pay [-], but no good girl can be found.

Just sauce.

Li Rong is married.

Still living with a big family, one thing is the lack of money. Li Rong also has three younger brothers. According to regulations, the family cannot be separated until everyone else gets married.

Two years later.

Li Hua also made a girlfriend.

Of course, the betrothal gift is the same as that of Li Rong, the only difference is that there are more weddings.

Yep.

In the past two years, Li Laogen would go out to do odd jobs from time to time, and he was much better off financially. In addition, Li Yu was admitted to high school.

There are many happy events.

But Tian Cuizhu was not happy, she didn't have a wedding when she got married.

The beginning of the contradiction.

Tian Cuizhu was very confident after giving birth to her son, and made a fuss. In the end, Li Laogen gave her 200 yuan to stop.

Wang Fang just got married.

And it was true that she held a wedding and Tian Cuizhu didn't, so she endured it.

I can bear it for a while, but I can't bear it for a lifetime.

There was a lot of quarrel at home, and there was no way I could make any money from just those few plots of land.

Yep.

Li Hua and Li Fu decided to go out to work.

People who came back from the outside world said that gold is everywhere in big cities.

Very tempting.

The two of them have done everything, but money is not that easy to make. When they had no money, they even slept on the streets and lived under bridges, and did not even come back for the New Year.

Why?

No toll.

The next year, the two brothers separated.

Li Hua went to the construction site, and he worked as a coolie to learn how to lay bricks with the experienced hands.

Li Fu is setting up a stall.

He was very thin and couldn't bear the hardship at all, so he set up a stall like others.

sneaking around.

Li Fu has sold many things, and he sells whatever is popular.

Come back in three years.

With a fashionable girl.

The girl is very trendy, but she can't miss everything she wants, the bride price is three big banquets, she even proposed to split the family and let Li Laogen rebuild a house.

How could Li Laogen agree.

Besides, if Li Yu is admitted to university, the tuition fees alone will be quite high.

There was a college student in the family, which Guangzong Yaozu dared not even think about. Even if he tried his best not to marry Li Fu, he had to confess him.

Double happiness.

Li Yu is going to study abroad, and he has to pay living expenses on time every month. The consumption in big cities is high, at least 300 yuan.

It's hard.

Li Laogen has more than enough heart but not enough energy.

In this case, we can only gather the strength of everyone.

He asked his three sons to pay living expenses for Yao'er to study.

How can Ronghuafu be willing.

Even if they are willing, their respective wives are not willing.

At that time, Li Laogen was still young, not yet 50 years old, and his attitude was very tough. He said he would get out of the house if he didn't support his younger brother.

Yep.

Get nothing.

When he sang about red face, Xiuhua sang about bad face.

"Xiaoyu is so good at studying. He is the only college student in our village. He has a bright future. When he succeeds, he will not pull out brothers like you."

Rong Huafu: ...

One point.

With their education, they might spend their entire lives in the countryside, but Li Yu is different, he can be assigned a job as soon as he graduates.

It is distribution.

Anyway, the last three families all contributed money, so they forced Li Yu to confess.

There are no surprises.

Li Yu was assigned to work in a public institution, while his girlfriend was a teacher in a school, and the two planned to get married after graduation.

Ji Juanjuan is not a local.

But she wants to be local.

When talking about marriage, Li Yu was required to buy a house in Fujiang City.

It is a must!

Li Yu told his family about it.

He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was sitting upright, with a thin face and a serious smile.

Li Laogen was very distressed.

He took a deep puff of his dry cigarette and said, "Son, your three brothers have gotten married in the past few years, and they have paid for you to go to college. The family really has no money."

The key to buying a house...

If you buy it, will the other three sons also buy it?

It's all children, if a bowl of water is uneven, it will make people chill.

Ronghuafu's face was not good-looking.

Li Yu bought a house in Fujiang City, wouldn't he come back later, then the tuition and living expenses they paid for four years...how to calculate.

loss.
