Chapter 454
Tong Xinyue was also affected by the infection. It turned out that Yang Ding had never seen his mother before. When he saw her today, she felt that she had passed away.
"Yang Ding, your mother will be very pleased. Now that you have a successful career, you can also return to your hometown in glory. Living your life well is your mother's biggest wish,"
"Why are you here? You don't have to eat at noon,"
A man in shabby clothes walked over here, with deep wrinkles on his face. Yang Ding looked over and easily guessed that this man was his uncle.
He shouldn't be too old, but he has done a lot of farm work, and his body is strong, but he looks very old.
Li Wangshui, Yang Ding's uncle, helped the family with farm work before he finished primary school, taking over the work of the elderly. He is still a farmer today, growing some vegetables and fruits, and in addition to eating at home, the excess is taken to the small market. Sell it in the market and get some income.
Li Wangshui looked at Yang Ding, and finally hugged Yang Ding, "Okay, okay, Xiao Pan's son has grown up so big, it's great, great, great,"
Li Wangshui's sincerity is by no means disguised. He is a typical farmer. Although the family ties in the countryside are weaker than those in the city, Li Wangshui, the eldest brother, really provokes the entire Li family.
After Li Wangshui's parents passed away, Li Wangshui did not forget his sister. He would go to the old grave every year to pay homage. He had always said good things about his sister when she was pregnant, but he had no choice but to accept his parents' views and there was nothing he could do.
As for the second brother Li Wangjin, he has been getting into trouble since he was a child. After his father died, Li Wangshui didn't worry about his second brother. Now he is in his fifties. He doesn't make much money, but he likes to play cards. Until recently, Li Wangshui still squeezed some money from home. Give the money to the second brother to pay off his debts.
The Yang Ding in front of him represents Li Pan, the three brothers and sisters of the Li family, and now it can be regarded as a kind of "reunion".
"Uncle, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything. Next time I'll invite you to the city for dinner."
It was already time to eat, and Yang Ding was feeling a little hungry. He paid homage to his mother and settled something on his mind.
Yang Ding returned to his hometown for the first time. How could he spend money? Although his family was poor, it was still okay to cut some meat. Li Wangshui quickly asked his wife to go to the market to buy some meat and wine. It was worth the heavy bleeding today.
Li Wangshui led Yang Ding and Tong Xinyue back home, made tea, and the three of them sat down in the small courtyard.
"Hey, Yang Ding, this car is yours. It's great. It's promising."
Li Wangshui knew that the people who could drive a car in Wankang County were all wealthy people. Ordinary families with good conditions might be able to save money to buy a motorcycle.
Yang Ding replied, "Uncle, what's your future? It's the car from the work unit."
Yang Ding is not here to show off his identity. There is no need to show off anything. Family ties are relatively simple. Putting on a great look can only widen the psychological distance between relatives.
Li Wangshui was still very happy, "As long as you have a car to drive, we Li family members don't even know how to ride a motorcycle, haha,"
Yang Ding said, "By the way, uncle, where is the second uncle? Call him here too,"
Li Wangshui shook his head, "He, forget it, except for having no money to spend, he doesn't usually come to my place. Look over there, the flat house with a small chimney is his home. There is basically no cooking at home, and his wife doesn't I can't control him, I just like to play cards. I guess he is at a small stall now. I can't call him, I can't contact him. In order to raise some money to play cards, I sold his mobile phone."
Watching Tong Xinyue drink up all the tea in the cup, Li Wangshui stood up and went to get the water bottle, "Come on, nephew and wife, I'll add it to you,"
Tong Xinyue's face turned pretty, and she blushed, "Uncle Li, no, Yang Ding and I..."
Yang Ding quickly explained, "Uncle, she is not my wife, but a friend of mine. Her hometown is in the nearby Shuihe Village, so I asked her to come with me. I don't know the way."
Putting down the water bottle, Li Wangshui nodded, "Oh, that's right, but Tong Yatou is quite good. She hasn't made any friends yet so she can hang out with her."
Yang Ding is repulsive in his heart. Although he does not repulse beauty, his feeling of repelling men and women is enough. If there are more, it will cause chaos. He can take advantage of it, but he has to think twice about being responsible.
But Tong Xinyue doesn't think so. Even if Yang Ding wants to pursue her, it still depends on his performance. Although he looks decent, he is full of bad qualities.
Moreover, Tong Xinyue's family affairs have not been settled well, and she has no intention of focusing on love.
Li Wangshui had a daughter who was one year younger than Yang Ding. Although Li Wangshui was older than Li Pan, Li Pan was not very old when she became pregnant.
His daughter’s name is Li Juan. She graduated from junior high school. Li Wangshui tried his best, but he had no money to support his daughter in high school. There are a few middle schools in these places that can be admitted to college. Each school only has a few students a year. Most of them Everyone went home to continue their farm work, and some of the clever ones went to learn crafts.
Going to college costs a lot of money. After graduation, if you can’t find a job, is it possible for a college student to go home and farm? So in the end, there is no one who can graduate from college by the way. There is no one in Lijia Village and no one in Wufu Town. Get a few people out.
Recently, Li Wangshui was worrying about his daughter's job. Li Juan went to the town's public kindergarten to apply for a teacher job. She needed a professional certificate. Li Juan worked hard to get it. No, her daughter went to the town early this morning and applied again with the qualification certificate.
So Li Wangshui finally felt relieved. His daughter's work was no longer a problem, and he could do less at home and just get through the day.
An hour later, the daughter and mother came back at the same time, but the daughter looked very unhappy and looked like she was crying.
"Juan'er, what's wrong? Come and see your brother, your third aunt's son,"
Li Juan said hello to Yang Ding listlessly and returned to her room on the second floor.
Yang Ding also smiled slightly at Li Juan, but her hot face was cold but her buttocks were cold. This sister was quite pretty, and she felt like a younger sister growing up in the family. Although she grew up in a rural area, she still had the temperament of a princess.
Tong Xinyue asked, "Uncle Li, what's wrong with Li Juan? Didn't you say that she went to the kindergarten to apply for a job today? After getting the qualification certificate, she should be fine. She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
Li Wangshui was also a little confused, but he knew that the work problem must not have been solved.
Li Wangshui said, "Hey, I guess the work matter has been messed up. We clearly agreed to give you five hundred yuan, but why couldn't we get it done?"
Li Wangshui's brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles became deeper. His parents were worried about their children, and they were helpless. They had no way out and no money. Others could not feel the helplessness in Li Wangshui's heart.
After drinking cigarettes and smelling game, it's time for lunch, although it's almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Juan'er, let's go downstairs for dinner," Li Wangshui shouted from downstairs at the top of his lungs.
Things were not done, and food had to be eaten. Li Juan reluctantly walked downstairs, and a table of people sat together. The table was old and worn, and some corners could be described as dirty. The stools were also flexible. It may collapse at any time.
However, in such an environment, Yang Ding was still excited and very happy.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Yang Ding's appetite was whetted. Tong Xinyue was not a particular person. She also grew up in a rural area, so she didn't feel anything wrong.
Yang Ding and Li Wangshui drank a glass of wine and asked about Li Juan.
"Sister, I heard from my second uncle that you applied for a job this morning. How was it?"
Li Wangshui was also stunned. Yang Ding said this a bit ill-advisedly. Isn't it obvious that this is not a success? If it is a success, will Li Juan look like this?
Li Juan also glared at Yang Ding, "No, the quota is full, and the relevant households have already taken the seats. Now the price for inserting a seat is no longer 500, but 3,000. They also said, There is a price but no market. If you have 3,000 yuan, you have to look at the relationship. Not everyone can enter and work."
Li Wangshui was silent. He had saved five hundred yuan frugally, let alone three thousand. How much time would it take to save?
Li Wangshui put all the responsibility on himself, put down his chopsticks, shook his head and said, "Hey, it's all my fault. I didn't give Juan'er a good environment. My family is poor. It's all my fault. It's all my fault."
Li Juan is not an ignorant girl, but she feels aggrieved.
"Dad, an uncle came over at that time and gave you and your second uncle 10,000 yuan each. It was better for you to refuse and let your second uncle take it all. Instead, he pretended to be a rich man and went out to gamble for a few days. , he lost everything and came back, why should he give it to him? Ten thousand yuan can be used by the family for a long time,"
I somewhat complained in my heart that ten thousand yuan was just taken away by the prodigal second uncle.
When Yang Ding heard this, he knew what was going on. All the money Yang Chenghu gave him at that time was taken away by his second uncle Li Wangjin. This Li Wangjin was indeed an unreliable guy.
Tong Xinyue knew that Yang Ding would definitely help, and she sympathized with Li Juan and said first, "It's nothing, Li Juan, let your brother help, this is not a big problem."
Li Juan looked at Tong Xinyue and then at Yang Ding, "Really, brother, you can help me,"
Li Wangshui doesn't like to ask for help, even if it's a relative, he doesn't want to owe others, "No, no, although your brother drove the car, the car belongs to the company and the impact is not good. Yang Ding, forget it, let's think of other ways. Well, if this job doesn't work out, let Juan go to the supermarket to sell things. She will be more tired and finally have some income."
Li Juan had an objection, "Dad, why are you like this? My brother didn't even say no, but you said no. Do you think it's so easy to get into the supermarket? Who doesn't get in through connections? Okay, then you give me I'm looking for connections, and I'll go to work in the supermarket tomorrow,"
His daughter's words made Li Wangshui lower his head again. It doesn't matter. Li Wangshui is an out-and-out farmer. The official he knows the most is the village party secretary, and the richest person he knows is the village chief.
Yang Ding said, "Uncle, this matter is really not a big deal. We are a family. Why are you and I being polite?"
After speaking, Yang Ding asked Li Juan which kindergarten she went to, and then Yang Ding took out the phone.
Li Juan took a look and said, "Hey, Dad, look, this is the Apple phone I'm talking about. It's awesome, it costs at least several thousand yuan."
