Chapter 21: Comparison
Seeing Qin Mingzhi's dirty appearance, my mother didn't speak, urging them to hurry up and change into new clothes.
It is a tradition to buy new clothes for the New Year, but the whole body is bright red, Qin Feifei strongly protested, but her arms still couldn't reach her thighs.
Cheng Xiu saw two New Year's paintings like dolls standing in front of him, and he was very satisfied, after all, among the children he had seen, there was no child who could be as good and sensible as Fei Fei, with the first academic performance in the school, and he had studied the textbooks of the second and third grades by himself. I can study well and help take care of my younger brother at the same time, and sometimes when I come home late, the meals are ready for you. More importantly, he can also help Qin Mingzhi with his homework and urge him to study. Compared with other children, it is even more prominent, which child now knows that learning will help the family, in addition to eating delicious food, is to remember to play outside.
Alas, it's this small one, it looks mediocre in comparison, it should be that he is too demanding, Cheng Xiu comforted himself.
Qin Mingzhi is used to seeing his mother's tangled gaze, if it is a systematic text, there should be a voiceover now, Ding Dong, every day is disliked and achieved! Listening to the praise of the adults for his sister, Qin Mingzhi was also very happy in his heart.
If someone wants to ask, isn't there a little jealousy in Qin Mingzhi's heart?
He can tell you very clearly that there was still at the beginning, but watching the old lady memorize texts and do exercises every day, and never had time to rest and play, Qin Mingzhi had no dissatisfaction in his heart, and he preferred cartoons, new toys and delicious food to other people's praise. And although the old lady is strict with him in his studies, she is really good to him, only new toys come out of the market, they will buy them back, and they will take him to eat all kinds of delicious food, he now misses fried chicken, pizza, elbows.....
Of course Qin Feifei didn't know, his younger brother had such a good evaluation of him, if he knew, he would definitely say to him, you think too much, and the toys are also what Qin Feifei wants to play, but in order to maintain the character of loving learning, it can only be said that it was bought for him, and as for who will play after buying it back home, it is not Qin Feifei's final say.
Qin Feifei's grandparents are relatively enlightened, and they will split up when their children grow up.
The two sons each granted a plot of land and built a house not far from the village.
The eldest son is the eldest in the family, and there is a lot of age difference between Qin Feifei's father, he contracted a few acres of land in the village, and when the two sons grew up, they went to work outside, which was considered a relatively wealthy family, and later built a two-story courtyard after renovating the house.
Below the eldest son are the two daughters, then the second son and the youngest son, who is Qin Feifei's father.
The second son's family had more children and was living in poverty, but after the wave of reform rose, he was the first batch of people in the village to go out to work, and his life gradually improved.
The two daughters married into two neighboring villages, which were not far away, and they would come back from time to time.
Generally, after the separation, they basically eat back in their respective homes, but it is different during the New Year, several families get together for a reunion dinner,
As the saying goes, three women in one play, and the difference between the rich and the poor in life, people's jealousy is ignited all of a sudden, especially when it comes to children.
"Xiu, is the school in this city much different from the school in our village?" the second aunt asked pretending not to care.
When she didn't compare, she felt that her own children were okay, but when several children stood together, she couldn't help but admit that Qin Feifei and Qin Mingzhi obviously knew a lot more politeness than Qin Zheng, and they also knew a lot.
Qin Mingzhi grew up in the city since he was a child, and there is no way to compare, but Qin Feifei, a little girl, also just arrived in the city this year, and the change is so big, I just heard someone say that Qin Feifei is the first in the school in the city in this exam, and she can still go to college.
The second aunt moved her mind, if she sent her son Qin Zheng to the city to study, she would definitely be able to be admitted to university, and she would be regarded as a glorious ancestor.
"Well, there's a little difference. Cheng Xiu said vaguely, it was the first time for the second sister-in-law to speak to herself so affectionately.
"Then you can tell me something, let us listen to it too. ”
"Mom, come and help me find it, why didn't I get my workbook. ”
Just when Cheng Xiu was being asked and didn't know how to answer, he heard his daughter's voice and ran over.
"What books didn't you take?" Cheng Xiu walked to the house and was about to go to the luggage to pick up something.
"No, I have it all. It turned out that Qin Feifei walked to the kitchen door and saw her mother fidgeting, so she found an excuse to call her over.
"Ghost clever!" Cheng Xiu nodded Qin Feifei's forehead.
"Where's your brother?"
"Watching TV with Qin Zheng in Grandpa's house. What did the second aunt say, you are so nervous. Qin Feifei asked curiously.
"Adults are less involved with children. Cheng Xiu didn't say anything, since he came out, he would go back after a while.
"But what do you mean when your second aunt mentions the school in the city? After being silent for a while, Cheng Xiu couldn't help but say to herself.
"Why else, for the sake of the children's schooling. Qin Feifei naturally said it casually.
Hearing this, the two of them were shocked at the same time.
"The second sister-in-law (second aunt) wants Qin Zheng to go to school in the city!"
Cheng Xiu was shocked that if the second sister-in-law really had this idea, there would be a quarrel after the New Year. Don't blame Cheng Xiu for thinking so, there is a precedent for this. In the early years, Qin Feifei's grandfather was looking for a successor after he retired, and it was originally decided to let Qin Maosheng go, after all, he was the youngest son, and it hurt more. This can poke the hornet's nest, and after the second sister-in-law heard about it, she came to the house to spread and roll, and she had to give the quota to the second brother.
When Cheng Xiu first got married, she hadn't moved to the city yet, but she lived in her hometown, and Cheng Xiu saw her awesomeness that time. Of course, the result remained the same, and then after the family moved to the city, every time they came back, the second sister-in-law had to say a few sour sentences. Especially after Qin Mao was born to do business in the sea, he complained more, saying that he had wasted the quota in vain, and he should have given up the quota if he didn't go to work, etc.
Cheng Xiu said that he had a big head, and he couldn't explain it clearly to her, saying that the efficiency of the factory was not good, and he couldn't pay his salary.
She will only tell you how good the city is, and the old man will know that he is biased.
And Qin Feifei was shocked that the second uncle's family never thought of sending Qin Zheng to the city to study, and he was in the village until junior high school, and after graduating from junior high school, in order to find a job, he was sent to a big city to study a secondary school.
