Chapter 14 Why don't you turn on the light
Qin Fangfang's eyes lit up when she heard the word "university", but then she dimmed again.
"The family has no money to support me in college, so I won't go to school after I finish my senior year." Qin Fangfang's voice seemed very lonely.
Ang Lee knew that Qin Fangfang hadn't finished speaking, that was that he had a younger brother who was in high school.
The old man of the Qin family is also a relatively visionary person in the village and can always support his daughter and son to study together.
Although the tuition fees for high school are not high, they cost several thousand yuan a year. The rural areas here still have a very serious idea of favoring boys over girls.
Boys from poor families usually go to school after nine years of compulsory education, especially few girls can go to high school, let alone college.
There are many rural girls here who don’t go to school.
The reason why Qin Fangfang got married was actually to use the dowry gift given by the man's family to provide for his younger brother to go to college.
This may be the helplessness of poor rural families. My sister exchanged her life's happiness for the opportunity to make a name for her younger brother.
"I'll ask you, if you have money, do you want to go to college?" Ang Lee asked again.
At this moment, Ang Lee felt that since I had been reborn, I could not let such a tragedy happen again. He decided to help the poor girls.
"Then I must have thought about it, but I heard that it costs several thousand yuan a year for college, so how can my family afford it? Besides, my brother still has to go to school." Qin Fangfang's voice was a little lonely.
"Fangfang, you should study your homework well. As long as you can get into college, I will find a way for you for the tuition fee." Ang Lee said.
"Really?" Qin Fangfang turned around excitedly when she heard this, but she forgot that Ang Lee was still holding her clothes.
This sudden action almost brought Ang Lee into the ditch.
Ang Lee staggered several times before stabbing his body. Looking at the bottomless valley outside the path, his face turned pale and leaned against the side of the path and gasped heavily.
"Cadre Li, are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't mean it."
Qin Fangfang also realized how dangerous his actions were, so she hurriedly apologized.
"It's okay, don't be excited anymore, otherwise my life will be gone." Thinking of the dangerous situation just now, Ang Lee was afraid for a while.
"No, Cadre Li, you just talked about going to school..." Qin Fangfang asked impatiently with hope in her eyes.
"Fangfang, you don't have to worry about the tuition fees of this university. As long as you can get into college, you can apply for student loans. The university also has relevant policies for poor college students, which can exempt part or full tuition fees. If you have excellent grades in college and apply for scholarships, even your living expenses can be solved."
Ang Lee explained all the national policies targeting poor college students in one breath.
He was really worried that Qin Fangfang would be excited again, and that he would really die.
"Cadre Li, are all what you said true?"
Qin Fangfang's body trembled a little. She had already stopped going to college, but now after Ang Lee said that the heart that longed to go to school was about to move again.
"I am a state cadre, can I still speak falsely?" Ang Lee said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily the case. The last time someone from the village came to pat his chest and promised it." Qin Fangfang muttered in a low voice.
"What countryside?" Ang Lee said curiously.
"Ah, nothing. What scholarships are you talking about? Can you tell me about again?" Qin Fangfang quickly pulled the topic.
"Haha, I'll find a place to go back to the city that day to download one for you. Your main task now is to review with peace of mind and strive to get into a good university." Ang Lee didn't care about Qin Fangfang's words just now, and encouraged her to study hard. It's not a few days before the college entrance examination in June.
"But now, you should lead the way first, it's still early." Ang Lee looked at the time on his phone. It was almost 8 o'clock.
"oh."
"Cadre Li, have you been to college?"
"I've been there."
"What does college look like?"
"Unit, he is..."
On the dark road on the hillside, a girl led the way in front but was unwilling to stop and kept asking questions. The young man pulling clothes behind was not irritable at all, and answered patiently, in short, full of youthful atmosphere.
.........
In the past, it was less than twenty minutes long, but Ang Lee walked forty minutes at night.
In addition to the factors that are too late at night, drinking a lot of alcohol during the day also consumes a lot of his energy.
When he saw Chen Shanhe's farming house, he was already exhausted and his steps were a little weak.
Every household in the countryside has dogs. Before Ang Lee and Qin Fangfang approached the house, the dogs had already started barking, making people's ears hurt.
"Uncle Liu, are you at home?"
Qin Fangfang walked to the yard in front of the house and began to shout a few times.
There was a sound in the house, and after a while, the door of the house made a "bang" sound.
An old man with white hair walked out with a flashlight and spoke a thick dialect
"It's a bad thing!" (Who is it!)
"I am Fangfang." Qin Fangfang spoke loudly, and Uncle Liu's ears should be a little numb.
"It's the Qin family's girl, what are you going to get together?" (What's the matter here?) Uncle Liu asked.
"This is a village cadre in our village who is here to find the college students who live in you." Qin Fangfang pointed at Ang Lee and said.
Uncle Liu glanced at Ang Lee and said, "Come in the house, he lives in that house, you can get up and find him." Uncle Qin pointed to a window on the west side of the house and could see a faint light inside.
"Thank you Uncle Liu." Qin Fangfang replied, and Ang Lee also thanked her and walked into the room.
This is an adobe house with a north-south facing, with a living room in the middle, a bedroom on the east and west sides, and a kitchen outside the east side of the house.
As soon as Ang Lee entered the house, he felt that he was poor, very poor, and the word "limited family is a wall" is very appropriate here.
On the north wall of the living room is an old wooden cabinet, a few wooden chairs, and a light bulb hanging on the beams, so there is no other furniture.
Qin Fangfang pulled Uncle Liu to chat about family matters in the living room, while Ang Lee identified the direction and walked towards the room to the west.
There is no door in the room, and a door curtain is hung on the bare door frame.
Ang Lee lifted the curtain and saw a young man with a buzz cut, thick eyebrows, big eyes, national face, lying on a wooden table with a flashlight, flipping through some information.
"What kind of slutty operation is this? Reading with a flashlight makes it more atmosphere?"
Ang Lee was a little confused by Chen Shanhe's appearance at this time. Why didn't he turn on the lights? He was very confused when he looked at the small light bulb hanging on the beams of the room. Could it be that the power was out of power?
Ang Lee stood at the door and did not go in. He had to knock on the door before entering the house according to etiquette. Unfortunately, Chen Shanhe lived in a house with no door and no place to knock.
You can't smash the wall, you're not collecting protection fees.
When Ang Lee entered the house just now, he deliberately made the footsteps very loud, hoping to attract Chen Shanhe's attention. Unfortunately, this former friend seemed to be fascinated by the information and did not notice it at all.
"Is it Chen Shanhe?" Ang Lee asked.
"who?"
Chen Shanhe, who was dedicated to his work, was startled by this voice and turned to look at the place where the sound came.
There was a person standing at the door of the room. He couldn't see clearly because he didn't have lights, but he shouldn't be old when he heard the sound.
It's already past eight o'clock now, who will come to find me at this time?
"I am Ang Lee, a village cadre who just arrived. Come and talk to you." Ang Lee introduced himself with a smile.
"Oh, you are that Ang Lee. I heard of you when I went to the township government. Please sit down."
Chen Shanhe immediately stood up when he heard that it was Ang Lee, but he was embarrassed to find that there was only a wooden table and a bed in his room except for a stool, and there was no place to sit.
"It doesn't matter if I sit here." Ang Lee pointed to the bed. His legs became sore as soon as he walked, and he was eager to find a place to sit.
"It's okay, you sit down." Chen Shanhe said crookedly.
As soon as Ang Lee got into the bed, he wanted to help but let out a moan. Finally, he sat down. I was exhausted when I walked on the mountain road.
After sitting down, Ang Lee looked at the dark room and asked about his doubts.
"I said why don't you turn on the light? Is there a power outage?"
"There is no power outage, it's because Uncle Liu is not allowed to turn on the lights."
"Forehead......"
