The first thousand three hundred and ninety-four chapters are all the sins of poverty(1/2)
"Yes, come on, you guys smoke!"
Ye Rongyao took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to the two of them.?
"Huaxia cigarette, what a cigarette!"
The old man wearing a shabby cotton jacket held a Chinese cigarette, sniffed it on his nose, and said happily.
The village is poor. Usually, everyone smokes cigarettes for two yuan per pack, which means that when someone holds a wedding, they can get a few Chinese cigarettes.
The old man heard that when people at the foot of the mountain hold weddings, there is a Chinese cigarette at every table of banquets, and everyone can get a pack of Chinese cigarettes.
But the people in my village are too poor. When we hold weddings, we still have a pack of Chinese cigarettes at each table. When we drink, we will take them out and divide them into two cigarettes per person.
This Chinese cigarette is precious, and I can’t bear to smoke it in my daily life!
"Old man, you like to smoke, and you will give it to you all this pack of cigarettes."
Ye Rongyao gave a pack of Chinese cigarettes directly to the old man.
Now there are many Chinese cigarettes in Ye Rongyao’s Qiankun Ring. These are not bought by Ye Rongyao. Some of them were confiscated in the city last time, and some were given by others.
Now Ye Rongyao knows many rich people. These people know that Ye Rongyao does not accept valuable gifts, so they send cigarettes and alcohol to Ye Rongyao's house during festivals, making Ye Rongyao's house able to open a tobacco hotel.
"How embarrassed!"
Although the old man wearing a shabby cotton jacket said embarrassed, his hands were not slow, and he took over the Chinese cigarette from Ye Rongyao with one hand.
In China, tobacco and alcohol are the easiest to bring people closer together.
Look, Ye Rongyao passed by a pack of Chinese cigarettes, and everyone's relationship became familiar immediately.
Ye Rongyao also knew that the old man's name was Zhangtianshan or a villager in Yuanshan Village. The middle-aged man was named Xu Yongxin, who was from Anrui County.
"Brother Xu, are you here to visit relatives in Yuanshan Village this time?"
Fang Bolin asked Xu Yongxin.
"no!"
Xu Yongxin glanced at Fang Bolin and said with a blushing face.
To be honest, Xu Yongxin has lived for half his life and is the first time he has said close to such a handsome girl.
"He went to the village to get married."
Zhang Tianshan said with a smile.
A pack of Chinese cigarettes made Zhang Tianshan treat Ye Rongyao and others as his own and say everything.
"Get a wife?"
Liu Qingqing and the others asked in surprise.
After all, Xu Yongxin saw that he was in his forties, so why did he still get married?
Could it be that he is divorced?
"This is not a word of poverty."
Xu Yongxin sighed and said.
When I was young, my family was poor and I had many brothers. After this eldest and second brothers got married, the family had no money.
It was Xu Yongxin's turn to get married. His family wanted a house but no house, and he had no money, so the matchmaker was unwilling to match him.
Xu Yongxin, who has no education, earns money by doing physical work. In the past few years, his salary for working on construction sites was low, and he often worked for more than half a year, but he still couldn't get the money.
In just a few years, the national policy has been improved, and the salary for physical work has been higher, and I have saved a lot of money in the past few years, so I thought about marrying a wife.
But the girls in the city looked down on him, his older uncle, and those old ladies, Xu Yongxin looked down on them.
Xu Yongxin, who has some savings, does not want to be wronged and wants to marry a young daughter.
The girls in the city looked down on him and thought about looking for him in the countryside. However, now the living conditions of the country people in Anrui County are better and their family lives well.
No family wants to marry their young daughter to Xu Yongxin, a half-old middle-aged man.
If Xu Yongxin was a rich boss, and perhaps a young daughter would be willing to marry him, the key point was that Xu Yongxin was just a middle-aged uncle who did physical work.
If you can't afford a foreign house or a luxury car, you will naturally not have a young daughter marrying him.
He was even more dreaming when he wanted a big daughter in yellow.
However, after inquiring, I heard that the girls in Yuanshan Village want to marry outside the village. They can marry a beautiful yellow girl in Yuanshan Village with just a betrothal gift of 30,000 yuan.
Because Yuanshan Village is very poor, it is very cost-effective to get married. Just buy some wives for the woman's family, give betrothal gifts, set up a banquet in the village, and invite the whole village to have a banquet. Even if the daughter is married, the yellow-blooded daughter can be taken home.
After Xu Yongxin found out, he used his relationship to find someone. Finally, he found the old man from Zhang Tianshan. After several bargaining, he married a yellow-flowered daughter with a betrothal gift of 50,000 yuan. Today, Xu Yongxin and Zhang Tianshan went to the mountain to see their wife.
As long as you are satisfied, you can get the marriage done and take your wife home.
"Is the woman optimistic about going to Yuanshan Village to get married?"
Ye Rongyao asked.
"Not yet, but after hearing Uncle Zhang say that he is a 19-year-old yellow flower girl, you also know that I can marry such a young yellow flower girl at this age. As long as I am healthy and have nothing to do with it, the marriage will be done."
When it comes to this, Xu Yongxin is not embarrassed.
Besides, it is actually a very proud thing for middle-aged people of his age to marry a nineteen-year-old yellow flower daughter.
You should know that in the city, he is like this, let alone marrying a young and yellow-flowered daughter, even those divorced young women are unwilling to marry him.
"What's the difference between buying a wife!"
Fang Bolin said dissatisfiedly.
Fang Bolin, who has received higher education since childhood, couldn't stand such things and said very dissatisfied.
"What did you say!"
Zhang Tianshan immediately looked at Fang Bolin with dissatisfaction and said.
How can I say I buy a wife? The village is poor and there is something wrong with the young girl in the village who wants to marry outside the village? This is all voluntary.
"Linlin!"
Ye Rongyao said with a wink at the other side Bolin.
There are some things that you can understand in your heart, don’t tell them out, so as not to make others unhappy.
And to be honest, this kind of thing often happened in rural areas many years ago.
In order to reduce the burden on the family or want to marry someone with a better family, girls in poor places will choose to marry someone much older than themselves or men with some physical disabilities.
To put it bluntly, it is actually "poor".
Fortunately, the country's economy has been developing rapidly over the years and the living conditions of rural people have improved. These young men and women have begun to fall in love freely and have free marriage.
This was not possible before.
In the past, when a girl had to check her boyfriend, her family had to check. If the other party's family background was poor and she could not give too many betrothal gifts, the matter would be ruined.
"oh!"
Fang Bolin responded and stopped talking.
"Uncle Zhang, don't be angry either. She grew up in the city and doesn't understand what we do in the countryside."
Ye Rongyao said to Zhang Tianshan.
"Well, it's all caused by poverty!"
Zhang Tianshan sighed and said.
To be honest, they are all from the same village, and everyone is intimate with each other. The girls in the village are basically juniors from Zhang Tianshan.
Zhang Tianshan also wants to have a good family for his younger generations and marry a good family.
However, this society emphasizes the equality of the family. Many girls in poor mountains and valleys are too seldom known for their own words. It is difficult to marry a good family outside the village.
Zhang Tianshan felt uncomfortable watching these girls in the village marry men who can be their fathers at ages, or marry men with some physical disabilities!
But there is nothing we can do about this, it’s all caused by “poverty”!
"Have you ever thought about moving outside the village to work outside the village?"
Fang Bolin asked in confusion.
"A few years ago, the country had a policy to move outside the village. Unfortunately, the villagers were reluctant to leave the village's fields at that time. Now it is difficult to move out of the village. There is no place to resettle so many people in the village, and buying a building in the infrastructure requires a lot of money, and no one in the village can afford that much money."
Zhang Tianshan said sadly.
All old ideas kill people, making the village miss an opportunity to get rid of poverty.
“It’s also very profitable to work outside now.”
Ye Rongyao said.
"Most of the villagers are rude and rude. They don't even know how to take a car when they go out. They often get lost. How can they work? After going out a few times, they all come back. In the future, few villagers are willing to go out to work."
Zhang Tianshan said with some sadness.
The villagers also want to go out to work and earn money, but the rude guys who don’t know a word can’t even take a car when they go out, and they often get lost in the city.
