Beijing Women's Normal University went to Wuhan to enroll, Yuan Ling and her classmates were very excited, and the teachers also encouraged everyone to sign up.
But back at the dormitory, everyone was gone.
It turned out that most of them were engaged to dolls at home, knowing that the family would not agree to their continued schooling. Some of the students were crying in a hurry.
Yuan Ling said: "We must oppose arranged marriages of feudal parents. What do you cry, usually say that you are a knowledge woman, a May Fourth youth, how can you cry when you encounter something! ”
A classmate said: "I want to run away from marriage, but what about tuition fees?" ”
Another said, "The family knows, but they don't want to go to school and take me back!" ”
Yuan Ling said, "I heard that Normal University does not have to pay tuition fees. ”
Everyone was excited again: "Don't pay tuition? Then I'll sign up! ”
Yuan Ling said: "We quietly sign up, don't let the family know, then we will run directly." ”
Ji Yuanling, who had just graduated, and Xiao Xiuyun, a classmate of Xiao Jiatai, returned to their hometown together. Ji Mu was very happy to see her daughter return. She plans to take her daughter to visit her family's home the next day and discuss the children's marriage with Mr. Cai.
Yuan Ling told her mother that she had been admitted to beijing women's normal university, and would go to Beijing to retake the exam in a few days, and asked her mother to give her a sum of money to pay a deposit for the university.
Ji Mu was so angry when she heard this, she yelled, "You really don't want this home anymore!" Do you know how hard it is for my widow to pull you up! You're going to leave me alone, the old lady!" I'm alone at home! ”
Yuan Ling's next heart was to go out and study.
"To be a man is to speak of conscience!" You repent of your marriage and tell us to behave like a person in the Ji family in the Future! ”
Yuan Ling said, "Your family doesn't know it, and now the city has long since stopped recognizing the doll kiss this time." What an age, your family is still so feudal and ignorant! ”
Ji Mu cried out, "My feudal ignorance? I provide you all to study, even your maids show their faces to study outside, my two sons are sent outside to do things, I am still feudal and ignorant? Do you have a conscience! ”
Ji Mu locked the door of Yuan Ling's house and said, "Don't think about this door!" "Just sit in a chair and block the door."
The Yuan Ling in the room was anxious to shed tears.
A day passed, and the mother and daughter were deadlocked, and there was no water meter for a day.
Yuan Ling was so hungry that she lay still on the bed, but she was afraid that her mother would have a problem with hunger. In the middle of the night, he said to his mother, "Let's cook some food at your house, I'm hungry too." ”
Ji Mu choked, "Starve you!" Do you still have an old lady in your heart? The old lady accompanies you to starve to death, asks everyone to poke your spine, and tells you not to calm your nerves for a lifetime. Want to eat? Don't think! ”
Yuan Ling said, "I just don't want to be like the girls in the township, I want to go out and do things like my brothers." ”
Ji Mu said, "Well, the relatives who have been betrothed cannot be repented, and after you get married, you can return to Wuchang to teach, and ask Yan Guan to go to Wuchang to do things." You just can't go to Beijing this time! ”
Yuan Ling cried out, "Then I'll still starve to death!"
The mother and daughter were deadlocked and did not sleep all night.
At dawn, Xiao Jia Xiuyun went to Ji's house to find Yuan Ling, and when he saw this formation, he was overwhelmed.
Ji Mu saw XiuYun and said, "Are you reading any books that you are going to rebel?" ”
Xiuyun busied herself with a smile: "Where, your family Yuanling is capable, admitted to a good school, that school does not charge tuition, do not want to be a female principal after graduation?" Unlike me, I couldn't pass the exam. ”
The old lady said, "If you can't pass the exam, it's good!" If you are admitted, you will lose it. ”
Yuan Ling shouted in the room, "Xiuyun, don't instigate with her, anyway, I don't have any money, I can't leave, die at home!" ”
Xiuyun hurriedly advised, "Yuan Ling, don't do stupid things, and discuss it with Lady Ji." ”
Yuan Ling said, "There is something to discuss, I just don't want to live!" ”
The old lady said, "Good, good, not alive." Xiuyun, you go, go and talk to the neighbors, ready to collect the corpses for us! ”
Xiuyun was so frightened that she quickly ran away.
Xiuyun went to Old Master Cai's house and nervously told Old Master Cai what had happened to the Ji family.
Old Master Cai asked, "Is Yuan Ling really admitted?" ”
Xiuyun said, "I really got in." She was afraid that her family would not let her take the test, but she secretly took the test. ”
Old Master Cai said, "Good! Good! It's up to me. ”
Cai Laoye and Xiuyun rushed to Ji's house with a few burnt cakes. Xiuyun did not dare to enter the door and secretly listened outside the door.
Seeing Old Master Cai, Old Lady Ji was like seeing a savior, and the grievances in her stomach turned into tears, and she cried loudly.
Old Master Cai pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What is the family crying?" What's going on? ”
Mother Ji cried and complained, "Your family is going to be my lord, and none of your children are filial." If the man goes out to do great things, even if it is not, this woman is also disobedient, and tells me to do it! ”
Old Master Cai said, "Who dares to say that the children of the Ji family are not filial piety?" Who doesn't know that your family has a big filial piety! ”
Ji Mu said, "Your family was moti, isn't it retribution now?" I thought they would go home and honor me, but now that I'm old, none of them want to go home and honor me! This dead lady is also going to run to the capital! How old is it? The Yan family is still waiting to send their relatives! ”
Old Master Cai said, "Alas! Our two families are the same. Your family looks at us, old and old, or have we become lonely and lonely? I also expect that filial son of your family to come back and send us two old people to the end! ”
Seeing that she had found Zhiyin, Ji Mu calmed down a bit and said, "Yeah, they don't know how to understand us!" ”
Old Master Cai said, "Okay, okay. Open the door first, I'll ask Yuan Ling. ”
A haggard-faced Yuan Ling came out, shouted "Daddy Cai", and also cried.
Old Master Cai smiled, "You two are doing something, and if you want to, you will become righteous." Quick, eat the burnt bread first! ”
Old Lady Ji has the heart to eat. Yuan Ling was not polite, grabbed the burnt cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Looking at Yuan Ling's eating appearance, the old lady was angry.
"Are you still going out to study?" What do you read? Old Master Cai asked knowingly.
"I was admitted to the department of Chinese at Beijing Women's Normal University." Yuan Ling grunted as he ate.
Old Master Cai patted his thigh: "Good! This is the Guangzong Yaozu! I know this new type of university, you are even more rare than the former Imperial Palace Examination! I didn't expect it, a bitch! ”
Before Mrs. Ji could speak, Old Lady Cai said to Mrs. Ji, "Dear family, this is a great good thing!" Your family, would you like to hold a celebratory feast? I will preside over it, or let the future students of the church learn hard! ”
This Old Master Cai suddenly changed the direction of the wind, and Old Lady Ji did not know how to deal with it for a while.
Old Master Cai asked Yuan Ling again, "How are you prepared for the coiling?" ”
Yuan Ling turned to his mother Nunu and said, "Not yet, the school has notified you to bring a deposit." ”
Old Lady Ji skimmed her face, "Anyway, I don't have any money to give!" ”
Old Master Cai said: "This is also the glory of our teaching hall, and this money is out of our teaching hall!" Plus, I'll come out of the coil! ”
Old Lady Ji cried and laughed: "Dear family lord, what is your family here to do, everything depends on the servants." ”
Old Master Cai advised, "Dear family! When your family Anbang and I went to the East to study so far, didn't we go back to our hometown when we were old? Your family is not afraid, your children will never be lost. ”
"What about the Yan family's affair?" This is Ji Mu's heart disease.
Old Master Cai wrapped up the bag: "Your family is assured, this matter still has to be done, but it will be waiting for the return of the Yuan Ling."" I'm going to talk to Yan Hump! ”
Ji Mu was still not at ease, and asked Yuan Ling: "Then after you finish reading the book, you will come back and get married immediately, and will you agree to it?" ”
Yuan Ling nodded his head in agreement.
Old Master Cai squeezed his eyes and yelled at Yuan Ling, "Why do you answer this way?" Nod no, say something clear. ”
Yuan Ling understood Old Master Cai's intentions and said loudly, "I promise, after reading the book, I will go home and get married!" ”
