Xiang Jin took the things back, and her grandmother saw it and said, "Hey, why did you come back with an invitation? Someone invited you to a drink? What's the treat?"
Xiang Jin lowered his head and glanced at the two invitations in his hand. After saying "hmm", he said, "Our family and Aunt Liao's family each have one. Our son is going to school. It is said that he has been admitted to a junior college."
Her grandmother was surprised and said, "Oh, whose child is so capable?"
Because the teaching staff is uneven and not strong, the admission rate of their schools is not very high every year. If a school has hundreds of people, only a few dozen technical secondary school teachers and students, or college students, can pass the exam.
For college students, this is already a big deal.
This will not only bring substantial economic benefits to the school, but also make the school famous. Others will spread the word about how good the teachers in that school teach and how high their technical level is.
Then, many people will send their children to that school in admiration, and then the school's student recruitment problem will be solved, and some teachers will be rumored to be amazing, thus improving their status in the school.
And those families whose children have passed the entrance examination are like smoke rising from their ancestral graves. Not only can the parents and elders at home be proud and proud, making people envious and praised, but they can also take the opportunity to hold a banquet to invite guests back and gather a little more.
money.
Then Xiang Jin told her which one it was, and then her grandmother frowned and said, "Hey, where are those from the Ninth Brigade? I probably haven't dealt with your family before."
Xiang Jin thought about it, they were carried out, and they were so far apart, so they probably didn't have much chance to interact with each other, so he said, "Oh, don't worry about it, wait until mom and Aunt Liao come back tonight, let them decide
It’s a matter of whether you want to go or not when the time comes.”
Her grandmother nodded, "That's right."
At about five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Liao came back from the show, but everyone saw that the expression on her face was not very relaxed or happy, so Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked her, "What's wrong? It's not appropriate?"
"
Xiang Jin also poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Aunt Liao reached out to take it, then took a sip and said, "It stands to reason that the girl's conditions are pretty good in all aspects. Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a good temperament, is gentle, gentle, and generous. I
Still quite like it.
But my education level is a bit low. I heard that I only went to the fifth grade of elementary school and then stopped working at home. When I was a child last year, I asked someone to find a job in the county town, saying that I was helping in a restaurant.
I'm not saying that the education level of the other party must be high. Like my family Xiang Yang, she is a high school student, but I still hope that the girl's education level can be higher, such as a junior high school graduate.
You see, today's society is constantly moving forward. No matter where you are, there is a need for literate people. If you look at the people who are doing things outside, the first thing the boss will value is those who have a higher level of education.
tall person.
People with a high level of education want to be more popular and take advantage of them. Some people may not be able to do heavy work because of their high level of education. They are directly assigned by their bosses and leaders to do some mental work.
At that time, we suffered a cultural disadvantage. At that time, our family was poor, there were many brothers and sisters, and my parents could not afford to support so many people in education, so I only attended the third grade of elementary school and then stopped. But now there are many
We can’t handle the matter, so we have to ask others for help.”
Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "What you said makes sense. We didn't study at that time, and we don't know anything now. If we want to go to a show, we can only go to Dao Town as far as possible. If there is
If you want to run to the county, you don't dare.
Why? Because you can’t even recognize the road. There are more streets in the county than in the town. You can’t even tell the difference between east, west, north and west. What do you think we should do if we get lost?
?
Wouldn't that cause trouble for my family and myself? So, I have lived so long, in my dozens of years, and I have never been to the county seat once."
Having said this, she nodded again, "So, it's better to be educated."
Aunt Liao nodded, and Xiang Jin and her grandmother then comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious about this kind of thing. Everyone has their own fate. I have seen your boy before, and he looks the same."
You have a good personality, and you are so tall and tall. Now that you have been promoted to a position in the army, you may have a greater future in the future, so don't worry about not being able to find a wife.
There are so many good girls in this world, and I have to let you meet and touch them slowly. Those who are not suitable can only be said that they have no fate with your Yang boy."
Aunt Liao nodded, "Yes," followed by Xiang Jin and her grandmother said that Xiang Bingchong and the others had distributed disinfectant products today, and Xiang Jin had already gone to get them back for her.
Then Xiang Jin went back into the room and took out the things for her, and at the same time handed her the invitation.
Aunt Liao reached out to take it in confusion, and then said, "Why did he send us an invitation? He doesn't usually have much time to socialize?"
Xiang Nan on the side said, "Get it down for us too."
Aunt Liao looked surprised and said, "Is it done to you too?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "It seems that everyone in our production team has quit."
Aunt Liao frowned, "Then does your mother say you want to go?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "My mother doesn't even know about this yet. She won't find out until she comes back at night."
Aunt Liao then asked, "Who sent this?"
Xiang Jin said, "Bingchong's dad gave it to me when I went to get the disinfectant products from Bingchong's dad's house."
Aunt Liao nodded, "Yes, he is usually responsible for things like this."
They have a common practice, that is, no matter which company has a wedding or wedding, the person who informs and greets others is usually entrusted to the production team leader of the production to handle the matter, including helping people distribute the goods.
When it comes to invitations, my family will generally not come forward in person.
During dinner in the evening, Aunt Liao specifically asked Xiang Jin and her mother Yang Juyun, "Liu Yadong's son has sent you an invitation to go to school. What do you think? Should he go or not?"
According to my opinion, I don’t want to go. If you say he is in our production team, then of course he can’t escape. But he has been taken out for decades, so we have nothing to do with him.
Socializing means people you can't meet on the way to a business, so what's the point of doing this?"
"Yes, we usually don't have much interaction with them. I heard that he sent invitations to our entire production team door to door. You said that if everyone else goes by then, we won't go. Isn't this right?
Isn’t it a bit unreasonable?”
Yang Juyun nodded, and then hesitated. Then she added, "The key is that Ruijia's dads in Wantou, Liang, are in the same production team, and we often see each other without looking up. I'm afraid
By then everyone will feel embarrassed after meeting each other."
Aunt Liao curled her lips and looked unconcerned, "Their family has gone through a lot of things. Four sons and two daughters. Every time they finish their work, they are always treated as guests. Every time they go to our house, they are there."
Yes, including his sons and children, we have been there.
There were no less than ten events, big and small, in his family, and every time they were treated to a grand event.
But when my Xiang Min went to school, he didn't come. When my Xiang Qun was admitted to school, he didn't come either. He even said that he was old now and couldn't eat anymore.
The juniors came to pay it back.
Among his juniors, which household has nothing to do, and which household has he never been to? Our family doesn’t have many things to do, and his juniors can’t even replace them. He also said that he would let his juniors
Come back? What's the point of dealing with this kind of person?"
Yang Juyun nodded, "We also go to their family's affairs."
Aunt Liao also nodded, "So, even if I bump into them all the time in the future, I won't feel embarrassed," and then she added, "But you are building a house, and it won't be long before you start building it."
Well, if you go this time, maybe you can invite me back when the house is built.
I looked at the days, and he doesn’t live for a few more days. You must be behind his affairs when you build a house. When the time comes, he will come to have a drink, and maybe he will give you some extra."
Yang Juyun waved her hand, "I don't allow guests to entertain guests when I build a house."
Aunt Liao was surprised and said, "Why don't you invite guests when you build a house? This is the first major event in your life after all. Why don't you invite guests?"
Yang Juyun said, "It's not very interesting, and it's also very troublesome. I don't like to make it so complicated, so I'll keep it simple. Then I'll invite my family members and you guys who are close friends to have a meal together."
Just a simple meal will be fine.”
"Is that so?" Aunt Liao still felt a little regretful.
Yang Juyun nodded, "Well, that's it, it's simpler."
After Aunt Liao saw that Xiang Jin seemed to fully agree with what her mother said, she stopped trying to dissuade her. Then everyone's topic returned to whether to go or not.
Finally, everyone analyzed Liu Yadong's personality and asked whether he would be like his parents. When he had something to do, he would invite others, and then they would all go, but when it was their turn to have something to do, he would
But he lowered his eyelids and pretended not to know?
In short, in the end, I did not analyze the reason, so I still said to Xiang Jin, "How about this? Let's see the reaction of the people at the head of the production team. If others go, and they go in large numbers, then we will go
, or you can bring him some gift money; if the head of the production team doesn’t have anyone to go, and there are few going, then we shouldn’t go?”
Xiang Jin and her grandmother followed and said, "I think Jin Yatou's method is good. Then you won't be afraid of offending others. There are so many people in Baytou who didn't go. Who's to blame?"
In the end, Aunt Liao and Yang Juyun had no choice but to nod in agreement.
