When the subway arrived, the carriage door opened, and Jia Youwei walked out with his daughter who was yelling that he had to carry his back, and walked in the direction of the subway exit.

Jia Qianqian didn't want to sleep, and he didn't even feel sleepy. I just didn't want to walk, so my two little hands like tender lotus roots clasped my father's neck, and my little head was next to his big head.

She looked at the strange pedestrians coming and going, and noticed not only that they were dragging their tired bodies, but also that they had a tired look on their faces.

"Lao Jia, they are all so tired and hopeless, why do they still live?" Jia Qianqian blurted out.

Jia Youwei put his arms around her waist with both hands, and walked forward without hurrying, while saying slowly: "Look at how unqualified you are, as if they should die."

If they all despair, humanity should be extinct. If the ruling class is gone, then there will be no soil for the existence of the ruling class. After all, the ruling class is built on the basis of the ruled class.

Pandora's box was opened by humans, and everything that was bad was released except that Hope was not released and was still locked inside. Isn't it true that people live for hope?"

"Is there any hope that they can be completely changed?" Jia Qianqian asked thoughtfully.

"Of course there is hope. It's just that this probability is relatively low, and the only way to be a fish that slips through the nets between God's fingers. If you give up on yourself and accept your fate, there will be no hope at all.

Our Jia family is not a generation that has accumulated the wealth that is comparable to today's wealth. The first generation of ancestors recorded in our family tree was illiterate, farming farmers, and they were not great people at all.

And the celebrities in history Jia Yi, Jia Xu, Jia Kui, Jia Sixian, and even the traitor Jia Yidao, except for the surname Jia, has no half-dime relationship with our family.

The ancestors have been farming, planting, planting, planting to the seventh generation of the ancestors of the Jia family, not only planting better than others, but also having business acumen.

When I have something to do, I like to go to the place where the peasants gather and chatter to listen to the news, but I only listen to what others say, and never talk much.

He operates in reverse, what others plant on a large scale, then he doesn't plant anything back then, but plants what others don't plant. For example, when people grow food, he grows rapeseeds. If they planted rapeseed, he would have grown grain.

What determines the market price is the relationship between supply and demand. As a result, our Jia family earned the first pot of gold in his generation. Jia Youwei felt that it was very meaningful to take her daughter back and forth on the subway, so she began to learn to think about life slowly.

When he walked out of the subway, he paused for a moment, and then went on to tell the family history of his Jia family: "After others have money, it is nothing more than buying land, repairing houses, repairing ancestral tombs, marrying little wives, having more children, buying all kinds of livestock, and so on. Otherwise, it is to hide the money in case of emergency.

The seventh-generation ancestor of the Jia family is very smart, he first spends the money on letting the children study, then the vast reproduction, and finally the appropriate improvement of the family's current life.

When he arrived at the eighth generation ancestor of the Jia family, he began to take the imperial examination. As a result, he failed to pass the test repeatedly, and he didn't even get a single talent in the exam.

Even if none of them were admitted, they did not feel that reading was useless, but firmly believed that reading could make people enlightened, wise, awakened, and create extraordinary high value.

So, they insisted on their father's idea and let the descendants of the Jia family go to the school to study. Those who can't read books go home and farm well, while those who read well don't have to do any clumsy work at home.

to the ninth generation ancestor of the Jia family, that is, the first generation of our branch. He did one of the most deviant things at that time, neither focusing on studying and taking the imperial examination, nor farming well, but selling the ancestral land under his name to the clansmen, giving up his status as a peasant, and going to the city to start keeping accounts for others to make a living. ”

"Listen to you say this, we are not born noble, but we started as untouchables, and have gone through nine full generations of genealogical records. Jia Qianqian blurted out a chime in.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was still born as a cattle herder, and his descendants were all high emperors, kings and grandsons, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Although you can't choose your own origin, you can try to change it from generation to generation. Seven generations before our Jia family, we were all farmers and tenant farmers.

Starting from the seventh generation of ancestors, he became a yeoman farmer and then a small landowner. The eighth-generation ancestor is just a scholar in the countryside and has no fame, while the ninth-generation ancestor is half a city person.

Starting from the tenth generation of ancestors, they can be regarded as city dwellers who were really born and grew up in the city. He was still literate and only later started a small business.

With a certain amount of capital, he had the courage to traffic things from the north to the south, or to other places outside the customs to make profits, which can be said to be the real beginning of going south and north.

Our Jia family is already in the twelfth generation, and it is also thanks to the conscientious and concerted efforts of the three generations of our grandfathers and grandchildren that we have opened the foundation and beginning of today's situation.

In the future, through the efforts of generation after generation, there will be a good situation for our father and daughter to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

You should also understand that there is no such thing as opportunism and unearned gains. Our family, who do you say is the most awesome? Who is the most far-sighted? Who is the most dispensable?" Jia Youwei continued to tell his daughter about the history of his family.

"Do you still need to ask? Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Grandpa, of course. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to create our Jia family's prosperity. Jia Qianqian snapped his fingers and began to count.

"Not true. In my opinion, it is the seventh generation ancestor of our Jia family. If he hadn't let his descendants study, there would have been nothing to do later, I'm afraid that everyone would honestly stay in the countryside and farm land for a lifetime, and it would be the life of a landlord to die.

Tonight, I'm telling you these things to make you remember that reading is useful at all times. Those who say that reading is useless are those who have not read books well.

You see Zhu Yuanzhang, who has won the world, even if he didn't read anything, he didn't forget to find the best teacher in the world to teach his children and grandchildren to read good books.

And I have read a lot of books to my great-grandfather. Could it be that those who say that reading is useless are smarter and more wise than the founding emperor?" Jia Youwei had long come to such a conclusion.
