Chapter 309 Dege'er's wages were plundered
The New Year went on as usual, with visits to relatives and friends, eating and drinking, and Sun Shan lived a free and easy life.
De Ge'er dragged Yang Qingbei to play with Sun Shan again.
Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, looking at Qingbei who looked worried, and asked worriedly, "Qingbei, what's wrong with you?"
De Geer picked up a big oil cake, ate it until his mouth was full of oil, and said, "Now he is the only old student in the school, so he is naturally depressed."
Deger dropped out of school and went to work in the county school, leaving Yang Qingbei very lonely.
Now he is the only senior student left in the school.
Yang Qingbei glanced at De Ge'er with dissatisfaction, and said with a bitter face: "I don't want to study anymore, but I don't know where to go if I don't study, and I still can't do some calculations. My father asked me to study for another year."
After the Chinese New Year, De Ge'er was 15 years old, Sun Shan was 14 years old, and the youngest among the students from Peking University and Tsinghua University was 13 years old.
It was also very normal for Landlord Yang to arrange for him to study in school for another year.
Sun Shan comforted him, "Tsinghua University or Peking University, study hard and figure out the accounts this year. Don't worry, you are still young."
The song ends, people disperse, the building is empty, and in the end, one still has to walk alone in life.
Sun Shan is, De Ge'er is, and Yang Qingbei is too.
De Ge patted Yang Qingbei's shoulder and said casually, "Qingbei, don't worry. Finish your studies before you go out to work. I'm working at the county school now, and when I've worked there for a long time, I'll bring you in to work. Hehe, we'll work together then."
Yang Qingbei's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face: "Brother De, this is what you said. I also want to go to the county school to work, and don't want to stay at home to work. It's too boring at home, I haven't even left Yangjia Village."
Sun Shan looked at Yang Qingbei with pity.
Although Qingbei had good living conditions since childhood, the landlord Yang and his wife Yang were very strict and rarely let him go out.
He spends the whole day either at school or at home. His friends are only his cousins from Yangjia Village or his classmates at school. He knows only a limited number of people and has limited understanding of the outside world. No wonder Yang Qingbei is so depressed.
Sun Shan, De Ge'er and Yang Qingbei go to school on the same day.
First, Sun Shan went to the county school to study, then Deger went to the county school to work, and now only Yang Qingbei is left. No wonder he is so frightened and uneasy.
Sun Shan looked at De Ge'er's confident expression and did not expose his boasting. He asked, "De Ge'er, how are you doing in the county school?"
After Sun Shan returned to Sunjia Village, it was the New Year and he was very busy visiting relatives and friends.
I really don't know how Dege'er is doing in the county school?
Sun Shan thought that when he had time he would go to the county school to ask people and find out more.
De Geer glanced at Sun Shan and said proudly, "Shanzi, who am I? I am so eye-catching, of course I am doing well in the county school. Both the teachers and students like me very much. Shanzi, don't worry, I won't embarrass you. I have to work hard so as not to ruin your reputation."
De Ge'er is not a fool. He certainly knows that he can study in the county school thanks to Sun Shan.
He always remembered not to embarrass Sun Shan, and worked very hard.
Yang Qingbei said enviously: "Ade, you are lucky. So many people in the county school like you. You must work hard to make more people like you."
De Geer patted his chest and said confidently: "Qingbei, just wait, when I become a manager in the county school, I will bring you in to work."
Yang Qingbei nodded hastily: "Okay, Ade, I'll wait for you."
Sun Shan didn't believe that De Ge'er, who was so young, could become a manager. By the time he became a manager, Tsinghua and Peking University might have found a job to make a living.
Curiously asked: "De Ge'er, what do you do in the county school? Is the work easy?"
De Ge'er opened his eyes wide, chewing oil-fried rice cakes and smiling, saying, "My job is very simple. I just help the teacher pass messages, post notices, pass messages for students, and deliver things. Sometimes when someone's chair is broken, I go and fix it. The job is very simple, I already knew how to do it."
Then he covered his mouth and laughed, whispering: "Hey, when I work well, I can get rewards."
De Geer became more and more excited as he spoke, and said in a very low voice: "Although the reward money is not much, there are so many people. Hehe, a little bit adds up to a lot, and there will be dozens of coins a month."
Yang Qingbei showed envy on his pretty face, and he sighed softly, "Ade, this job is good. Even though it's only a few dozen coins, it's a lot in a year. And you get paid for it."
Speaking of wages, De Geer was depressed: "Oh, my wages were all taken by my parents. Oh, I worked so hard, but in the end all the money went into my parents' pockets. Oh, I am so miserable."
When Sun Shan saw De Ge'er looking like an eggplant hit by frost, he wanted to laugh.
Everyone knows how much Dege'er's monthly salary is.
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun took all of Dege's wages, following the universal principle that "while parents are still alive, the family should not be divided and everything should be turned over to the public."
De Ge'er was unwilling but unable to resist, so he went to his grandmother Huang to complain.
Huang thought that now they didn't have to pay land taxes or perform labor service, so they could earn whatever they wanted. Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun were living a good life, so she shouldn't take all the children's money.
Thinking back, she didn't ask for much money from her son's work.
So, under the pretext of "filial piety", she asked Deger and Yongger to give her 100 coins every month as filial piety money.
In fact, it was to keep the money for the two grandsons and help them save it so that it would not fall into the pockets of Uncle Sun and his wife.
Uncle and Aunt Sun knew, of course, that Huang didn't really want the money, but Huang's reasons for wanting the filial piety silver were very legitimate, and they had no choice but to give it to her.
He had no choice but to divide the monthly allowance of Deger and Yongger to Huang.
As for Guang'er, he is out of reach in the capital city, otherwise Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun would never let their eldest son go.
De Ge'er whispered stealthily, "I won't tell my father and mother about my reward money. You can't tell anyone."
De Ge'er also touched his pocket, feeling the charm of the copper coin, and laughed happily.
Yang Qingbei looked at De Ge'er sympathetically: "Ade, you must hide your money well and don't let anyone touch it. Fortunately, my father and mother never asked me about the interest money I earned."
Then he said to Sun Shan: "Ashan is the best and makes the most money."
De Ge'er patted Sun Shan's shoulder and said with great approval, "Shanzi passed the examination and the county magistrate awarded him 20 taels of silver. Hey, I have to work for a few years to earn 20 taels of silver."
In front of Sun Shan, De Ge'er secretly told Yang Qingbei that Sun Shan had money here and there, in short, he was very rich and was the richest man in Sunjia Village.
Yang Qingbei said enviously: "Ashan, when you become successful in the future, don't forget me."
Sun Shan couldn't have imagined that Yang Qingbei would say such a thing, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be planning to get closer to De Ge'er, and was increasingly showing the aura of "De Ge'er No. 2".
De Ge'er turned to Sun Shan and said, "Shanzi, when you become successful in the future, don't forget to ask me to be your housekeeper. I am still waiting to become the official of the Juren master."
The fried rice cakes that De Ge'er eats are made during the Chinese New Year.
