Chapter 141: Going to my mother's house to give instructions
"Did Wenhua find a job in Fucheng?" Shui Qing asked as he walked into the yard.
Mother Hu opened the courtyard door as wide as possible to allow Ling Ran, who was driving the donkey cart behind her, to come in. She turned back to her daughter and said, "I found it in March.
After the first month and the New Year holidays, there were no more people visiting relatives and friends, and the number of people buying rice wine suddenly decreased a lot. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he thought of going to Fucheng to find a job and learn some skills;
I thought it wouldn't be tiring for me to do it alone, so it would be nice to let him go to Fucheng to see the world, so I agreed. "
Fan Jiang asked curiously: "What kind of work does my uncle do?"
Hu’s mother said helplessly: “Actually, it can’t be counted as work, he went to a martial arts school;
Qing'er, you also know that although your father and I have always hoped that he could read and write, his brain just can't remember words. He gets sleepy when he studies and prefers fists, feet and sticks. "
Fan Jiang suddenly felt that he couldn't remember words and felt sleepy when he read. It was very familiar.
Isn't this him? !
He suddenly realized: "It turns out that the nephew I mentioned is this uncle, no wonder!"
Shui Qing slapped him on the back angrily, "Don't make excuses for yourself, you can't blame others"
Fan Jiang was unconvinced: "Why is it someone else? That's my uncle!"
Besides, he didn't blame his uncle, he was just excited, okay?
Turns out he's not the first!
Every time my father taught, the eldest, second and younger sisters listened carefully for fear of missing even a tiny bit. They learned a lot and quickly, and their attitudes were so good that I had nothing to say!
The second brother Fan He is smart and quick to respond. I only see him playing all the time and not studying much after class. But every time his father randomly checks their literacy and knowledge, the second brother answers fluently!
He was the only one injured in the world.
Mother Hu looked at her grandson, who had grown more and more similar to Wenhua in physique over the past six months, narrowed her eyes with a smile, and suggested to her daughter: "I think this kid Dajiang really looks like his uncle?"
If he really can't study, let him learn some boxing and kicking skills like Wenhua. Maybe Dajiang will like it?
He is young and should learn better than your brother. "
He was poor in literature but rich in martial arts. Before, he only sent Wenhua to a private school for enlightenment, but his son was really not good at studying.
It's uncomfortable to sit there.
But he wanted to learn martial arts, but his family's money was not enough. Now, thanks to his daughter, he had money from wine making to supplement the family's financial resources, so that Wenhua could give it a try.
Before Shui Qing could speak, Fan Jiang shook his head like a rattle, "Grandma, I don't want to learn martial arts! I just want to farm, grow vegetables and raise livestock."
Mother Hu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
It is the hardest work to dig food in the loess with your back turned to the sky. Raising livestock is dirty, tiring and smells bad. What others don't want to do, this kid Dajiang actually likes it?
Fan Jiang was afraid that his grandmother would not believe it, so he continued: "It's true! I think it's a good feeling to plow the fields and sow seeds in the season and watch them sprout and grow.
In the past, when the family was not separated, we had to dig the ground hoe after hoe, which was very tiring. But this year, after we have oxen and donkeys to plow the land, we only need to hold the plow and plant the land, and it is not tiring at all!
The same goes for raising animals. I feel more comfortable than dealing with people. "
The second brother likes to interact with people, but he has endless things to talk about with his family. Whenever he goes outside to talk to unfamiliar people, he feels very uncomfortable and tormented. He wishes he could go home early.
Rather than interacting with people outside, he prefers farming at home, growing vegetables and feeding livestock.
Shui Qing: ....How does Dajiang’s words sound like a social terror?
Or is he just a coward who is happy to stay at home?
No wonder he was so happy when he was planting potatoes, he was happy when he went up the mountain to collect firewood, he was still happy when he cut grass to feed rabbits and cut grass to feed pigs.
But that’s okay, the fields and land at home are being cultivated.
"This, this, Qing'er, why don't you persuade me to go down to Dajiang? Now that my family's life is easy, it would be better to learn how to support the family than farming." Hu's mother still had the same old thoughts.
I just feel that relying on craftsmanship to eat will not lead to starvation, and it is also light.
It's better than farming.
Shui Qing was open-minded and said, "It's okay, Mom, just follow their own preferences."
We can't just do business and become rich, and study and become officials. There must be people who work in the fields, right?
Just as Hu's mother was about to speak again, Shui Qing changed the subject and asked, "Mom, since you don't need to make wine anymore, why don't you come back to my place with me and stay for a while?"
Heavy rains and floods usually occur in the summer, but there are several months in the summer. I don’t know which month it is. My mother is the smallest and thinnest in the family, so I feel more at ease if I go to her house early.
Hu's mother knew that her daughter was filial, but she said, "Silly boy, how can there be any reason for her mother's family to live in her daughter's house for a long time?
Mom knows that you are worried about the flood problem mentioned by the old village chief in your village. Don't worry. If it rains heavily, Mom and your father will pack up their things and go to your place to stay for a few days, and then come back when the flood subsides. Home. "
While he was talking, there was another knock on the door, "Mom, I'm back, open the door."
Ling Ran crossed his long legs and went over to open the courtyard door.
Hu Wenhua was holding a large piece of pork and pig intestines in his hands. He grinned at Ling Ran who opened the door as a greeting, and then walked quickly towards Shuiqing.
"Sister, why are you here so early? I'm going to wash the pig intestines and send them to your house." Hu Wenhua said with a grin.
Shui Qing said his intention again.
Hu Wenhua scratched his head in embarrassment.
He originally thought that he would tell his sister after he found it, but he stayed that day without a holiday in between.
When she heard that she was worried about her mother and wanted to take her to live with her, she nodded immediately and advised: "Mom, you should stay at your sister's house. Now people in the capital are not only worried about the summer rainstorm, but also about the reduction of the feudal lords.
I see that the director of our martial arts school has been sighing these days, and it feels a bit uneasy."
Hu's mother was reluctant to part with every brick and tile in the house, and she was even more worried about her husband: "We can't control the affairs of the emperor and the princes. Your father is still here. If I'm not at home, he won't even have a hot meal when he comes back.
Okay, you siblings don't have to worry about it. Mom promised to pack up and go to your sister's house if it rains or the weather is not right?"
Last time, her daughter's family built a house, and she went to help, so it was okay for the head of the family to take care of himself at home.
How can she leave the head of the family alone now?
If she stays at home, she can help the head of the family if something really happens. Otherwise, she can't feel at ease even if she is safe.
Seeing that he could not persuade his mother, Hu Wenhua looked at Shuiqing and whispered: "Sister, if the weather is not right, I will hurry back and urge my parents to go to your place together!"
With her brother's promise, Shuiqing finally felt relieved.
The older generation has a very different feeling for home. They are reluctant to throw away a broken clay pot. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they are reluctant to leave.
If they really wait until it rains heavily before setting off, the water level of the river bank and lake will rise too fast, and they may not be able to reach her home!
