When the four brothers and sisters returned home, Chen Shi gave everyone the things he bought, he squatted on the ground, and while dividing things, he said: "This is Dad's clothes, this is shoes, this is Mommy, this is Xiao Ying'er's." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the things in Chen Shi's hand were snatched away by her sister Chen Ying, and she opened the box while asking, "What is this?"

Chen Shi said: "The repeater, I bought it for you to learn English, your grades are not good, you have to work hard." ”

When Chen Ying heard this, her face was a little unhappy, and she muttered, "You bought clothes for your parents, why don't you buy them for me? I also want new clothes." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to buy it, his sister is dressed very plainly, most of his sister's old clothes are worn, Chen Shi has already changed her into a new outfit, but he is a big man, it is not suitable to buy girls' clothes, and he doesn't understand the thoughts of girls, what he likes should be bought by himself.

He said, "I'll buy it another day, I'll give you the money, you buy it yourself, and I don't know what kind of clothes you like to wear." ”

My sister was happy when she heard this, "Really, don't lie to me?"

"Whoever liars is a puppy. Chen Shi said with a smile.

Chen Shi handed the things in his hand to his younger brother and said, "This is yours, I bought you a set of clothes, go and see if it fits for yourself, as well as some study materials and some extracurricular books." ”

Although his younger brother Chen Dong is a chronic son, his relationship with Chen Shi has always been the feeling of mutual damage and discomfort, but now there is no superfluous word, there is a surprised expression in his eyes, but his delicate face tries to maintain a calm look, pretending to be mature.

The other is my sister's suitcase, after dividing the things, the TV series is left on the side, he commands his younger brother, installs the TV series one by one, pulls the cable, installs the receiver, these jobs are done, and it will be dark after the day is completely done, and my father will come back.

As soon as the TV was installed, the remote control was occupied by her sister Chen Ying, and her mother chattered on the side: "What's the use of buying this thing? ”

Since my mother mentioned it, Chen Shi immediately agreed: "Buy it, I will buy it in a few days, and I will buy both the grinding and threshing machines, and the work at home will be easier in the future." ”

Grow corn at home, plant potatoes, corn is very troublesome, after the whole corn is broken down, it has to be dried, there is no time to dry it on the fire upstairs to dry, because there is no machine threshing, so every winter, the family has to beat corn, after the corn kernels are loaded, it is also very troublesome to eat, to grind into noodles, there is no grinding machine at home, only the most primitive stone mill, not only laborious, but also time-consuming. Thinking that the farm work at home is so heavy, his parents have never said that they are bitter, nor have they said that they are tired, and they have been supporting the four brothers and sisters with their hard-working hands, his heart seems to be pierced by countless steel needles, and his eyes are involuntarily rolling.

"Where did you get so much money?" asked the father, who had just returned, solemnly after learning about the situation.

As soon as he said this, his mother also asked: "Yes, you have only been there for two or three months, and it would be good to earn a few thousand yuan, but a TV set will cost one or two thousand, so where did you get so much money?

Chen Shi had no choice but to carefully and honestly explain the situation of his trip to the county seat, and repeatedly promised: "My money is all earned, every penny is innocent, absolutely nothing bad, my current business is doing a lot of money, I get thousands of dollars every day, there is no shortage of money, should our house be rebuilt? I have long been tired of living in these small earthen houses, and I will give you the small western-style house." ”

Although my father and others believed what he said, they hadn't woken up from the poor environment for a while, and they hadn't realized that the family was no longer short of money, so they said slightly angrily: "Say big things, be a down-to-earth person, and now you have made some money and cocked your tail?"

Chen Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, we are really not short of money now, life can be better, you and your mother don't have to work so hard in the future, Xiaodong and Xiaoyinger can go to school in the county, I have covered all the tuition and living expenses, the quality of teaching in the county is much better than that in the township, let them go out and have a long experience." ”

Sister Chen Jing echoed him: "Yes, the quality of teaching in the county is much better than that in the township, if I can go to school in the county, it will not be a problem to take the undergraduate exam." ”

When it comes to education, parents have always attached great importance to it, regardless of whether they are male or female, they all go to school, regardless of whether their grades are good or not, even if they fail to pass the exam, they have to repeat their studies, and their parents work hard so that they can have a good career and be able to read more books. At the beginning, my sister was not admitted to middle school, and it took a year to repeat the junior high school with Chen Shi, and my sister Chen Ying also had poor grades in primary school, and she only went to junior high school after two or six grades, but now her grades are not too good.

In this mountain, junior high school has to take exams, many people in the village have dropped out of school after only finishing primary school, Chen Shi knows, in a few years, nine years of compulsory education can be all popularized, and then junior high school does not need to take exams, at that time many dropouts go back to school, so there will always be some older students in primary and junior high schools, this situation has lasted for several years, until about 08 years to get better.

Chen Shi said that his younger brothers and sisters went to school in the county, which made his parents moved, but they were worried that Chen Shi would talk big, so they asked: "How much money can you have? Can you really provide for the two of them to go to school? You must know that although the tuition fee is not much, the living expenses are a lot, do you want to pay the tuition fee after you go? Have you inquired clearly?"

Although Chen Shi didn't inquire clearly, he had a relationship in the county, and the fat man's uncle was the secretary of the county party committee, so this little thing should not be too difficult, not to mention that he was not short of money, and it was not a problem to transfer tuition fees.

He said: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, this matter is absolutely certain, I still have business in the county, I'll go back in a few days, let the two of them go with me first, I'll ask about the situation first, I can come back if it's really not good, there are still ten days before the registration, it should be in time, right!"

The mother nodded and said, "It's a little safer, you can go and have a look." Do you want someone to take care of your business? Are you busy? Why don't I go and see it and help you cook!"

My father was smoking a cigarette and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do? Are you going to make trouble, right? How big can a woman's family be? You are all gone, and I am left at home alone? What will I do then?"

My sister will report in a few days, if my younger brothers and sisters go to school in the county, and my mother follows me, my father will be left alone in the family.

"You're going to starve to death if you're a big man at home, and you're not going to live if I'm not there, aren't you?" The mother didn't show weakness, and the argument began, and the four siblings looked at each other, lowered their heads and let the two of them quarrel, but after a few words they would stop.

My sister Chen Ying whispered to Chen Shi: "Brother, is the county town fun? I really want to go to school in the county seat? What should I do with my friends? What if I am alone and there is no one to accompany me?"

Chen Shi smiled: "It's okay, there is a brother, what are you afraid of? You can make friends again if you don't have friends, besides, you just go to school in the county seat, and you won't come back in the future, can't you play with friends during the holidays in the future?"

Chen Ying was still a little worried, and looked at her sister Chen Jing with a muttered mouth. Chen Jing smiled and said: "You know how to play all the time, there are a lot of fun things in the county, and you don't want to pull you back when the time comes." ”

The parents quarreled for a while, and after arguing for a while, the two felt bored and naturally stopped, but Chen Shi also had an answer to his mother's question just now, he said: "Mom, don't go, after we leave, our family will build a new house, Dad will definitely be too busy alone, and I want you to help, and when the winter vacation comes, our family should change a lot, and my sister may not recognize it when she comes back." ”

The mother smiled with relief: "You just talk nonsense, have you calculated how much it will cost to build a new house? Do you have enough money in your hand?"

It doesn't cost much to build a new house this year, tens of thousands of yuan can build a small western-style building, and it is the kind of building that looks very foreign and has a very large and wide area, rather than just getting one or two square rooms.

He said: "Mom, don't worry, I'll give 30,000 yuan to Dad first, if it's not enough, you can add more, in short, our family must build a new house, this earthen house has been pushed to reconstruction, I want to make the people in the village envy you two." ”

Chen Shi is not short of money, of course, there is no resistance to building a new house, there are so many people in the family, it is too crowded, too narrow, and it is certainly not difficult to rebuild a building with a little money. He handed over all the things of building a house to his father, firstly, he did not have so much time, and secondly, his aesthetic concept may not be acceptable to his family, not to mention that he is not ready to live in this house, just to make a show, and he wants to buy a house in the county in the future.

Now if you let your parents go to the county seat, it is absolutely impossible, not to mention what to do with the crops in the field, just say that the chickens and pigs raised at home can not be solved, if you buy it, they are reluctant, if you kill it now, eat and play, and there is another is that the parents go to the county town without acquaintances, and he does not have so much time to accompany them, so they will get tired of doing nothing in the county sooner or later, and when the time comes, they want to come back, if the family does not build a new house, these earthen houses do not know what they will be dilapidated, so in any case, building a new house is a must。

When Chen Shi came back today, his mother deliberately killed a chicken, which made the whole family happy. Although the family has chickens and pigs, the chickens are left to lay eggs and are rarely eaten except during the New Year's holidays. The whole family was lively, sitting around the table, the atmosphere of happiness spread, and Chen Shi felt extremely happy.
