Chapter 42 The gears of fate begin to turn
Yan Qiu and Xing Hui, their heads are shaking very fast!
They don't want to live like Grandma's life at all!
Not only grandma's life, but also uncle's life were not something they thought about.
I don’t want to fight over a little bit of food, and I don’t want to exchange bad words and make sarcastic remarks in a small world every day.
Not only did Yan Qiuxing shake his head decisively, Jiang Hehu and the other three also shook their heads.
They don't want the eldest and second sister to live like that.
They hope their sister has a good life!
Shui Qing is very satisfied. Unity between her children is what a mother wants to see most.
After finishing speaking intuitively and plainly, she began to talk about her profound feelings: "Also, regardless of men or women, there is no such thing as bad reading.
If it's not good, why let men go to school? You can't harm them.
If it's not good, why would those princesses and rich ladies hire female teachers to teach them?
They are not stupid, reading must be good. "
The five children were stunned when they heard this argument for the first time.
"Furthermore, what's the saying, 'No matter how much money you spend on teaching, you will become someone else's family when you get married'? This is simply not true!
When someone gets married, she doesn't die. She just moves from her mother's family to her husband's family. She is still herself;
The knowledge she learned is in her head. She can read and write. If others can't take it away, doesn't it mean she is happy? How is it considered a loss? "Shui Qing became more and more angry as he talked!
However, she couldn't control the thoughts of outsiders, and she didn't want to, but she had to control her own children.
Who doesn’t want their children to live well?
As her father said, if your daughter marries into another family, she will not have the protection of her parents in the future, so she must be kind to her;
Even a butcher who kills pigs knows this. How can others not understand it? It’s just that I don’t want to understand.
Fan Jin looked deeply moved and fell into deep thought.
Yan Qiuxing was stunned when he heard back.
The words they have heard since childhood have always made them think that they are ‘outsiders’ who will be married off in the future.
Once you get married, you have nothing to do with the family except helping your elder brother and younger brother.
Now my mother tells them that they are still them...
Shui Qing calmed down and said seriously to the five children: "In the future, you will grow up, start a family, and have children, but no matter what, you must teach them the best!
Only when children become successful, everything from them as individuals to you as parents to the entire family will benefit!
Only a big family can thrive, thrive, and get better and better as time goes by, you know? "
Jiang Hehu was the first to react and felt his blood surging.
Fan Hu was young and had a sweet voice. She was soft but still firm and said to Yan Qiuxing: "Eldest sister and second sister, from now on, I will study hard and become a great official, and I will become very powerful." , I will support you and let you live a good life.”
Hearing that the youngest brother was the first to express his opinion, Fan Jiang and Fan He were not to be outdone and said: "Eldest sister and second sister, I am also very powerful. I will not earn my own money to marry a wife like grandma said." , no need for your dowry money.”
"You can make money quickly by doing business. I want to give the eldest and second sisters a lot of money as a dowry!" Fan He said boldly, and then asked his father who was listening quietly: "The dowry belongs to the eldest and second sisters, right?"
Fan Jin replied gently: "Yes, the law stipulates that the dowry is a woman's private property and is under their own control. It is up to them to decide what to give to their children in the future."
Fan He was relieved and continued: "Then I have to earn more money, so that the eldest sister and the second sister will have a better life with a generous dowry."
Shui Qing wants to say that life will be easier with more money, but the essence is to live on your own.
Then I heard Xing Hui say crisply: "I don't need your money, brother, the second sister can do it herself!"
Yan Qiu's voice had always been gentle, but now it was more determined: "Mom, I want to learn how to read."
Shui Qing was very happy, it was finally changing.
She looked at Fan Jin, who gave her a look that said, "It's all up to you."
One meal finalized the daily schedule of the five children, and also changed their future lives.
Destiny is changing quietly at this moment.
·
After lunch, people came one after another to deliver chicken head rice.
The first person to come was Zhang Muniu. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed over the peeled, round and clean chicken head rice to Huo Di, stumbling and saying: "Second Uncle Fan, Second Aunt Fan, please weigh in."
Then he thought of what grandma had told him, put down the backpack behind him, took out the cloth bag and handed it to him respectfully, thanking him with a bright smile: "I'll give you back the cloth bag, thank you."
Shui Qing was amused. Seeing him delivering things and carrying a bamboo basket, he smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"
Fan Jin was weighing on the side - he bought a scale from the city in the morning. He will use it frequently in the future. He can't borrow it from the old village chief's house all the time.
This is also a piece of property. If you buy it all in one piece, you don’t have to ask for help when you need it.
Zhang Muniu replied naively: "My eldest brother and my second brother don't allow me to go into the water. My mother and sister can peel them quickly, so I am responsible for transporting chicken rice crackers home from the pond and lake."
"Have you eaten yet?" Shui Qing asked casually while chatting about home affairs.
Zhang Muniu suddenly replied solemnly: "Eat it, it's delicious!"
Even if it is still fried cabbage, the rice is fragrant, white and moist, plump and round, and it is delicious without side dishes!
The elder sister said that the second aunt gave it secretly and could not let others know. He knew not to say it, but he kept it in mind.
Only then did Shui Qing remember that the rice she gave them was Mu Niu and the others. It seemed that Aunt Zhang had made rice, which was good.
"Well, don't be too tired."
Zhang Muniu shook his head, "I'm not tired! Every household in the village is more active now than when they were rushing to harvest."
He is not afraid of being tired, he is only afraid of being hungry, and even more afraid of being tired but still hungry.
"Seventeen kilograms, forty-two and a half kilograms of rice, wooden ox, come and see the scale." Fan Jin waved and shouted.
"No, no, no, we can trust Uncle Fan." Mu Niu said with a naive smile.
He took the rice, put it in his backpack, and ran away in a hurry.
One after another, several more families came to give away chicken head rice.
Others were annoyed by watching the excitement in the morning and wasted a lot of time in vain.
There is a market in Niutou Town the day after tomorrow. The rice you exchange can be exchanged for coarse salt and black noodles at the market. Everyone wishes that the sun will grow longer and longer.
There were more people before dinner.
Shui Qing looked at the rising balance and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
It’s so profitable.
According to this method of making money, it is not impossible to open the smallest locker... Stop it, that's not a small amount of money!
How can I think about running when I haven't learned to walk yet.
"Shui Qing, I want to make some money with you." Fan Jin entered the room and said Nuonuo.
Shui Qing raised an eyebrow in confusion.
She does not restrict Fan Jin from taking money, but he has always been very strict with himself. What is he doing by asking for money?
Fan Jin didn't let her guess for long, and quickly explained: "I just went to the back mountain to find some flat slates. Children can dip them in water to write. You don't have to buy paper and ink, but you must buy brushes. "
Shui Qing has always been willing to devote herself to learning.
Now he moved the wooden bed, dug out a stone in the corner under the bed, took out the small wooden box inside, brushed off the soil, and took out a small piece of broken silver from the small cloth bag.
Phew, it’s so hard to get money!
