"Liansheng, why are you beating the child?" Ye Zhichao glanced at Li Liansheng and blamed him.

Li Liansheng seemed to be still angry: "If you're so young, you can just take care of the grown-ups' affairs, don't beat her, and if she gets older, won't the world be turned upside down?"

"Liansheng..."

When Ye Zhichao persuaded Li Liansheng, Xu Yanfeng stood up and chased outside: "Green bamboo... Green bamboo..."

"Mom, let me go." Ye Feiyang also stood up and stopped Xu Yanfeng.

"Well, comfort Cui Zhu well." Xu Yanfeng stopped and told Ye Feiyang.

"I see, don't worry." Following the sound, Ye Feiyang had already chased him out the door.

Li Cuizhu was slapped in the face like this, and she would definitely feel sad to death.

But if you beat him, you beat him. Li Liansheng is his uncle. If he beat his daughter, can he help Li Cuizhu fight back?

Ye Feiyang chased him out, and saw Li Cuizhu sitting on a stone by the roadside crying from a distance.

"Cuizhu, are you okay?" Ye Feiyang approached and asked.

"I'm fine." Li Cuizhu wiped away tears and forced a smile, "Cousin, when did you come back?"

"I also just came back from Shencheng."

"You go back to eat, I'm fine." Although Li Cuizhu was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she looked very sensible.

"Cuizhu, your teacher got married, and your father wanted to give you a gift of 1000 yuan, but why did you say that you only gave it 200 yuan? Do you have any dissatisfaction with your math teacher?" Ye Feiyang asked suspiciously.

Li Cuizhu shook her head: "I'm not dissatisfied with the math teacher."

"What's the reason for that?"

"Actually, I hope I can give more gifts to my teacher." Li Cuizhu choked up, "The key point is that our family has no money at all, but my dad still wants to save face!"

Ye Feiyang listened quietly without interrupting.

Li Cuizhu went on to say: "I know that the least gift in our class is 1000 yuan, and I also know that some of them, whose family is similar to mine, borrow money and give gifts everywhere, but is it necessary? What if they don't give much?" Is it? If the teacher is unhappy, let him be unhappy, if the students who give too many gifts want to taunt me, let them taunt me!"

Ye Feiyang listened, and suddenly said: "Are you giving so many gifts now?"

It's not unreasonable for Ye Feiyang to ask this question.

I remember last year, when I gave gifts from my hometown, I usually gave one hundred or two hundred gifts, and those with special relationships would only give five hundred or eight hundred. As for the gifts of more than one thousand, it was very rare.

Even if I am in a bustling place like Shencheng, if someone needs a gift for wine, I can just give 200 yuan as a token of appreciation.

But my hometown, to put it bluntly, is called a poor mountainous area, why are there so many gifts?

Seeing Ye Feiyang ask, Li Cuizhu explained:

"I have never given so many gifts before, but since the development of Hongyan Town, everything has changed."

"I heard that the government is going to develop Hongyan Town into a tourist area, and the highway will also set up an entrance and exit near here."

"Because of the compensation for land occupation, many people have received compensation, usually hundreds of thousands, and those families that occupy a lot of land even reached more than 200 million."

"The lives of those who received the compensation have improved, and there have been more banquets."

"They not only have more names for wine, but also more and more money for gifts."

"And our area is not within the scope of scenic spot planning and road construction, so we naturally have no compensation."

"But when it comes to gift giving, my dad believes that everyone is relatives and friends, and the relationship is intricate. If others give gifts, it is impossible for me not to give them. Others give one thousand, but we can't give five hundred."

"..."

What Li Cuizhu said, Ye Feiyang probably understood what was going on.

There is no way for the poor to compare with the nouveau riche! "

Ye Feiyang sighed, there was no other way.

Afterwards, Ye Feiyang said: "Cuizhu, I think that if other students give 200 yuan and you only give [-] yuan, if the teacher has opinions on you, it will have a great impact on your study."

"I know this, but I can't let the normal life of the family be difficult because of this, can I?"

Ye Feiyang smiled: "Isn't it, your dad only needs to borrow 1000 yuan?"

"Cousin, it's because you don't know about my family's situation." Li Cuizhu continued, "My father has already borrowed 6000 to [-] yuan from your family, and the previous money has not been repaid. How can I borrow from you again?"

"Everyone is a family, so why care about so much?"

Li Cuizhu shook his head: "Cousin, you don't understand, you don't care, but it doesn't mean that others don't care about us!"

As Li Cuizhu spoke, tears flowed down again:

"I heard from my mother that our family has already borrowed nearly 2 yuan from others because of gifts!"

"Also, some people have already asked my dad to pay back the money, but how can our family have the money to pay back? So, the last time I paid back the money, I even sold the computer I used!"

"I am currently in junior high school. There is no tuition fee for the nine-year compulsory education, but next year I will go to high school, which requires tuition fees, and I have to live on campus. If this continues, I will still be able to go to high school next year. ?"

"It doesn't matter whether I go to high school or not, but if this continues, how will our family live in the future?"

"All of this is due to comparing and giving gifts to each other, which led to the current situation."

"..."

Ye Feiyang listened quietly, feeling that this is really a major social problem!
"Courtesy reciprocity" itself is a 5000-year-old cultural tradition in Huaguo, so there is nothing wrong with it.

But the problem is, if "reciprocity" will affect normal life, then it is better not to "reciprocity".

At this time, Li Cuizhu cried even more sadly: "I was thinking, if my dad still wants to save face like this, I will not study now, and then our family will go out to work, so naturally I will not give gifts like this again. "

"Don't, no matter what, you must read the book." Ye Feiyang immediately objected to Li Cuizhu's statement.

"Cousin, I also want to study, but my family has no money, how can I study?"

What Li Cuizhu said is actually very reasonable, but whether it is to change her father's concept or change the social atmosphere in her hometown, it is very difficult.

"Cuizhu, how about this..." Ye Feiyang thought for a while, "You don't have to worry about what your father does, you just study hard, and I will pay for your study."

In fact, Ye Feiyang has always loved this little cousin very much. Not only does she have good academic performance, but she is also very sensible.

If my cousin had to drop out of school because she had no money, and if I knew about it and didn't help her, I would feel bad in my conscience.
