Chapter 9: old woman 9
Old Zhang's family didn't know what Ning Qiu said when he went out, and they didn't dare to ask.
what.
There are wonderful techniques of rejuvenation, but it cannot be cured. It just means that you can eat and drink as much as possible to make up for one tonic, and prolong your life for a few years.
The two daughters-in-law looked at each other and walked to the kitchen, but just after entering the kitchen, they saw that there was no one behind, so they lowered their heads and whispered.
The eldest daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Second brother and sister, what do you think about the third brother."
Just do it."
The words are watertight, completely revolving around the old lady's decision.
This made the eldest daughter-in-law unable to win over her. She glared at Wei Ruoruo's second younger brother and sister in dismay. Fifty taels just paid off the debt to the third brother. No one can bear it, okay? The second brother and sister didn't care, it was really a mess that couldn't be helped.
She has been married to the old Zhang family for seven years. She has only two daughters and no son. Although her mother-in-law had some opinions, she was not harsh on her, and even decided to send Xiaoyu to school.
She is an easygoing, easy to satisfy person. As long as the child is doing well, she will be relieved.
The only worry is that the mother-in-law took out fifty or two to help the third brother pay back the money, and I don't know if I can help Xiaoyu pay for the repair.
.
Ning Qiu lightly beat her old waist, sat down to peel the corn, and saw several children following her, staring curiously, she wondered: "You children, don't go Busy with my own business, watching what I do."
The old lady has a total of five grandchildren, Zhang Youfu has two children, a boy and a girl, the eldest grandson Zhang Congming, and the eldest granddaughter Zhang Xiaohong. Zhang Yougui has two daughters, Zhang Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaomiao, and Zhang Youcai is currently the only one Zhang Xiaobao.
According to the fact that every couple in the village has at least three children, there may be more children after a while.
Come, and more alone, rarely have such a big family.
So she is not very good at dealing with this kind of family relationship. Fortunately, she is the oldest in the family, and only the younger generation serves her, and she does not have the reason to take care of the younger generation, which saves a lot of trouble.
Zhang Cong Cong hesitated for a few seconds, looked left and right at the younger brother and sister standing beside him, but still said: "Damn, I have grown up and have strength, I can work in the fields, and in the slack farming time I can also go to the town to find freelance jobs to help my family.”
Like the other elders, he thought that if Ning Qiu took out fifty taels to pay off the debt, he would have emptied his entire family.
The family can't afford it.
"Why, I don't want to study anymore." Ning Qiu gave him a sharp look.
Zhang Congming nodded, he looked at Ning Qiu, and didn't dare to make a sound for a while.
"Xiaohong, tell me that your brother is not going to the school now. Is this deal worth it?" Ning Qiu's eyes fell on Zhang Xiaohong and suddenly asked.
Zhang Xiaohong was stunned for a few seconds, but her mind turned quickly, she shook her head, and said, "Brother, it's not worthwhile for eldest brother to go to school now. Year, if you give up halfway, it will be a waste of time and money. Second, the imperial examination is coming soon, if the eldest brother gives up his studies now, he will miss the imperial examination in March next year, which will be a lifelong regret. An opportunity to honor the ancestors."
Her thoughts are very clear, and she understands what Ning Qiu wants to hear.
The current grandma is a little strange, but being able to get close, let Zhang Xiaohong gradually know how to get along, so as to keep up with the grandma and get attention, she likes the current grandma.
After listening, Ning Qiu nodded with satisfaction, then looked back at Zhang Congming, and said calmly: "Have you heard what your sister said, since you have learned it, it is over, and you will give up easily. , is not the personality of the old Zhang family. As the eldest brother, you are not only responsible for taking care of your younger siblings, but more importantly, setting a good example."
"Honey, I know, I will study hard and not embarrass the old Zhang family!" Get good grades.
The family pinned their hopes on him. Now that he has encountered setbacks, he can't think of a way to overcome them. It's really inappropriate for him to retreat at the first time!
"Sister, you are amazing!" Zhang Xiaoyu praised fiercely, and looked at Zhang Xiaohong with her bright eyes full of admiration.
The eldest brother is the eldest grandson that grandma values the most, and has always hoped to stand out. I didn’t expect the eldest sister to be able to teach the eldest brother, and the grandma also agreed, which is really amazing!
"Bang Bang, Bang Bang." Zhang Xiaomiao didn't know what they were talking about.
Children's world is always very simple, although the scene just now was frightened, but after the frolic, I almost forgot.
The first time she was praised, Zhang Xiaohong was so nervous that she did nothing, her face was flushed, and her happy smile could not be hidden.
She likes this very much, and she is also useful and needed.
As long as it is needed, it will not be abandoned.
"The Master said, three people must have my teacher. My sister's words, my brother has been taught." Zhang Congming is not a pedantic person, he raised his arms and folded his hands, facing Zhang Xiaohong He bent down slightly and performed a ritual.
Although the eldest brother is her direct eldest brother and treats her very well, he also had a vague sense of alienation before, and this time he really felt the closeness between brother and sister.
Zhang Xiaohong realized in a trance that as long as she showed her merits, it seemed that others would treat her differently, even her relatives.
Ning Qiu said slowly: "It is to learn to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the people around you, and then reflect on what is wrong with your own words and deeds. Good, we will learn, not good. use it to remind myself not to make the same mistake.”
Unconsciously, several children surrounded her, listening carefully to the teaching.
Family, the influence on children is often the most fundamental, and the subtle effect should never be underestimated.
A half-year-old child like Zhang Congming is already literate, he nods his head clearly, then remembers it in his mind, and occasionally brings out self-education.
"Milk, I still don't understand." Zhang Xiaobao scratched his hair, still full of question marks.
"Hmm, it hurts so bad, I cried when I saw Daddy." Zhang Xiaobao covered his **** conditionedly, his face full of fear.
Zhang Xiaomiao also nodded: "Third uncle is not good."
For children, if they are not good, they will be beaten.
"He chose to make mistakes, and he was unable to solve the problem and caused disaster to his family, and he would be punished. So remember, you will be beaten like him if you do wrong in the future." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Qiu's mouth, enjoying the service of her granddaughter pinching her shoulders and beating her back. She suddenly felt that this kind of old-age life was not bad.
"We are very good!" Several people said in unison, and began to compete for favor with each other.
The Zhang Youfu and the others who came out, saw the happy scene of grandparents and grandchildren under the eaves, and thought there was an illusion.
This is the first time I see their mother (mother-in-law), there is such an amiable scene.
