Long years (73)

What the third child is most angry about right now is not that He Xiaowan fell into someone else's pit while playing mahjong. Rather, it was her words about not sending her children to school.

How did you know to send your younger brother to school back then? You had no money to support him.

What did I say at that time? At least I got out of school, and I no longer had to work so hard with my face turned to the earth and my back turned to the sky.

How old is your child? Is he short-sighted or not smart enough? Why should he just let it go if he doesn't learn well?

If you go out without education, you will suffer a loss? You have to graduate from high school even if you don't go to college. If you can read and write, you can't be illiterate. You can't say that to him in front of so many people.

As the fourth child said, teach your children in front of others, and teach your daughter-in-law in the back.

In front of so many people, you can't take off someone's face and stomp on it.

The third child said: "The children should go to school in the county town." In another situation, no one would know the basics. "I specially hired a teacher to come back to teach..."

If it doesn't work if you learn it once, let's learn it three or five times. That will work.

"How much will it cost?" He Xiaowan said to the third child, "His uncle is at home."

If his uncle had taken care of it, things wouldn't be like this.

You have money to play cards, but no money to send your child to school. Doesn’t a child spend a hundred dollars a semester?

If you save five to six thousand yuan in one go, you will have enough money to send your child to high school.

The third child turned his face and looked at He Xiaowan fiercely. He Xiaowan finally knew what he had just said and said, "Okay, okay! Whatever you said is fine."

Still not convinced!

The third child feels that she is deliberately looking for trouble now. Anyway, she just wants to suppress you, and she will have the final say at home, so that the matter can be settled.

He's mother said: "San, don't worry, Xiaowan is at home and I'm watching, so she doesn't dare to play cards anymore. The life of a couple is not always smooth sailing, it's the same for every family. You can tell her the truth.

It’s not like she doesn’t understand.” Then he said to He Xiaowan, “Don’t do this again in the future.”

After explaining things face to face, the He family's mother and son went home.

A few people saw her off, and He Xiaowan took Yingzi and Lin Yutong to the kitchen. When they got to the kitchen, she cried: "...I didn't know they were tricking us...we lost when we went up...I lost all this year's income."

, I don’t want to make up for it. People lose a lot, so they think that they can’t just memorize words all the time, and they can always make money back... The more they borrow, the more they lose..."

Yingzi patted her and said, "Are you stupid? I told you several times, but you said it was just for fun. Tong told you that the situation at the top was very serious, but you didn't believe it. You said you could only live a good life...this is five years ago.

Six thousand yuan... is enough to buy a shop in the county town. If you say no, it will be gone. You are living a good life and you are not satisfied." He also gave her an example and said, look at the daughter-in-law of so-and-so, in order to provide for the child.

When I went to school, I was with so-and-so, and the man at home was guarding me at the door. What was it like to live there? Look at the wife of so-and-so, she was the one who did all the work in the winter.

What kind of heavy work can you not do on the construction site? You earn two or three yuan a day, but when you come back, the man and your mother-in-law still think you are young. "Look at your life again. When your mother was alive, she never gave you a hard time. The third child only needs to be at home.

, do you think you have ever worried about money? Don’t worry about where the money came from, the third child? I didn’t ask you to go out and feel sorry for yourself, right? You said you are not living a good life, what do you think?”

"Second sister, let me tell you." He Xiaowan sat in front of the stove, crying with tears and runny nose, "The third child is having an affair!"

Yingzi paused: "How did you say this? The third child is not such a person. There are no such things! Otherwise, your second brother could break his legs."

He Xiaowan started to choke, turned her face and asked Lin Yutong: "Tong, do you still remember when he came back with that woman in the summer..."

Lin Yutong nodded: "What happened? Did you find out that he had something to do with Zhou Lian?"

"That's not true." He Xiaowan sniffed, "Since I came back in the summer, he and I have had nothing to do with each other. You guys think, isn't this because we have an affair..."

The third child, who was listening outside, had a dark face at that time. He stepped in and pointed at He Xiaowan: "You must have some face! This means that in front of the second sister and Tong, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. If you tell outsiders,

...You can really make me mad. It was summer when I came back, and there wasn't even a window in the shop. Who are you suffocating if the door is not open? We sleep with the door open, why are you so worried?

When you said you were coming back, I said I would send you back... What did you say... You said go make money quickly and don't ask me to follow you. How can you lose it? Okay! I have made money. I have spent the past few months

You're not in the county, and you've only been back for a few days. The goods haven't even been put into the warehouse, so you were called by the police station... You're so angry!" With that, he pulled He Xiaowan away, "Okay! Okay! Young Master

You are slandering people here. If you don’t think it’s embarrassing, I do.”

He Xiaowan rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you had been serious, you would have been back a long time ago! And you know you haven't been home for several months."

Oh shit!

"You want me to make money, but you also want me to stay at home and watch over you." The third child said, "Choose one of the two. If you ask me to stay at home, I won't go out. I'll take out a plate from the shop and come back to plant the seeds."

You choose how many acres of land you want."

"Then you should go out and make money." He Xiaowan threw away the third child and grabbed his hand, "If you don't have money, it's no use staying at home."

look!

Lao San said angrily: "You should find someone to be a big cadre. Neither Lao Si nor Tong can do it. If you do that, you can go home every day and you won't be short of money. I don't have that ability. Otherwise, you and I

Just live by your side, or I won't stop you and you can pursue your happy life?"

"Stop slandering me with your words." He Xiaowan sneered, "You can know billionaires, but why can't I know big cadres? One day, I may be the one who doesn't want you first!"

Yingzi patted the two of them and said, "It's not over, is it? I'm confused. In the past, I could live with one meal and one meal, but now I have everything I want. It's hard to pay for thousands of dollars."

Don't blink. What on earth did you do? Xiaowan was wrong this time, and neither was the third child. Making money is important, as is family. You should make money, but how much is enough? Make less, and stay at home for two more days.

Looking at my wife and children, this request is reasonable. On this matter, Xiaowan is right. Stop arguing. Once this matter is over, we are not allowed to mention it again."

I didn’t mention it, but He Xiaowan went to work at a pig farm, and the two children, the third, were brought to the provincial capital.

This time, the third child invested money and bought a small one-bedroom house in the family building of the county guest house. The county guest house belongs to the government logistics unit, and they built the family building behind the guest house. In previous years, it was divided.

Yes, I later asked for the money to be paid up, which meant that the property rights were sold. The house is on the corner of the first floor, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. It must be very spacious. The two children sleep in the living room, each with a small bed, and a book in the middle.

The shelves are separated and a curtain is drawn on the other side, which is equivalent to having an independent space. The house is inconspicuous, but one good thing is that it is close to the school. Whether it is an elementary school or a middle school, it can be reached in two minutes through an alley.

Most of the people living in this alley are teachers. The third child thinks the environment here is good. Moreover, the first floor is cool and not too hot in summer. In winter, the heater integrated with the guest house makes it very hot. There is also a 24-hour hot water supply.

You can take a shower whenever you want.

What the third child meant was to ask He Xiaowan to go to work in the county town and earn a little less for a month, which would be enough for her and her children's daily expenses. She could also take care of the children. He Xiaowan vowed to make up for the losses this time and devoted herself to the orchard.

, he said that he would take care of the orchard, take time to prune branches and so on, and then work on a pig farm. He could earn around 3,000 yuan a year no matter what. I must come.

He said that there is nothing to take care of the two children. They can eat and drink by themselves, so there is nothing to do if they go alone.

The third child can't move.

What to do?

I really found a teacher who was just assigned this year to be a tutor. I gave him 60 yuan a month.

Teachers' salaries cannot be paid, even for those with teaching experience, let alone such a young person. After working for several months, he has not taken home a dime. He still relies on his family to support him. With the current family conditions, it is difficult to support a person.

It’s not easy being a student. It’s easy to earn a salary, but as a result, the salary can’t be raised, and you have to live a long life.

The third child told the young man, "Come here after work. I'll order the food and you take the two children to eat. Just think of it as a favor for me. It won't take long. I think this boy can learn how to do it."

.Just leave after class, it’ll be fine.

It's equivalent to taking care of someone else's meal.

After the teacher left, the old lady next door came over to watch TV or something.

The third child was also given money, fifty a month. The old lady felt that it was too late, and sometimes she could wait for the third child until after twelve o'clock.

The person was quite enthusiastic: "Oh! You're a nice young man. It's hard to raise two children. The person I'm telling you about is the teacher from the elementary school opposite. She's a nice person. The man died of illness, and she took care of the children alone.

It’s not easy either. I think you have no one to take care of your children, and she has a hard time raising a family and children with only one person. It’s okay for you to live together as a partner.”

The third child hurriedly told others: "My family member is in town."

"Why don't you come?" The old lady couldn't figure it out. "Where the men are, where the children are, that's where the home is. What does it mean if a woman doesn't guard the home? How about taking care of the elderly?"

The third child responded vaguely, "Mother-in-law is old..."

"Then you are a rare good uncle." The old lady exclaimed, "No matter when you are willing to ask your daughter-in-law to subsidize your mother's family, she will always be good..."

Anyway, let’s live life like this.

It's the weekend, and the third child doesn't stop the children from going to the fourth child's place. Sometimes Qingning and Qingyuan also come over to play. It's good to get along like this.

He Xiaowan was fine here, but Lin Yuqi never came out.

Seeing that the new year was approaching, Lin Yulong came. Judging from his face, he probably encountered a big problem, "What's wrong?"

"Second sister." He seemed a little embarrassed to say it, "Can you lend me some money?"

"How much?" Usually the Lin family would rather speak to Lin Yujian and the others than to her and Yingzi. This is the first time.

"Five thousand." Lin Yulong shook his lips, "I can't open my mouth to my eldest brother. What happened to my brother last time, he took seven thousand."

"I can give you five thousand. But what do you do with the money?" Lin Yutong wondered, "Don't go astray."

"No!" Lin Yulong seemed a little embarrassed to say, "I can't give it without giving it. Those people are on the right path. Last time, they ruined their affairs just to get my brother in and get a lesson. During this time, he sent people to harass my target every day.

, you said that a girl’s family is followed by gangs of gangsters every day, who wouldn’t be afraid? If they say five thousand, I will use five thousand to buy a clean house.”

It's impossible to catch such people cleanly.

Get one or two in, and the rest will have to work harder.

Lin Yutong took five thousand, "Don't be in a hurry to get this money, it's not a problem. Wait until your brother-in-law comes back and discuss it."

When the fourth master came back and heard the reason, he smiled at Lin Yutong: "How big a deal do you think it is?" He then said to Lin Yulong, "They didn't play cards with your second sister. She is the ancestor of the old man. The one who doesn't lose.
