Chapter 33 Choices and Costs

Adults' thoughts are different from children's, and children's thoughts are different from half-grown children's, just like the little sister is proud to have an older brother like Li Jiaming, but Li Jiaming is trembling, for fear of giving his family a great hope, and finally ending up disappointed.

The fourth brother is right, as long as he works hard, he will have a clear conscience no matter what the result is, but what Li Jiaming wants is not only a clear conscience but more. Therefore, Li Jiaming no longer shows his 'genius', and the test papers collected by Mr. Wang, when he does it, he begins to do it that he can't do, or he doesn't think about it and makes mistakes, and everything seems very natural.

Li Jiaming's study has always been a gathering place for children, in addition to the three little ones who want to study, Mao Yan's big mouth also comes to beg him to check his homework every day. I heard that the fourth brother judged Li Jiaming to be wrong, or taught him to do too much, and then through Mao Tongyi's propaganda, the rumors that Li Jiaming was as smart as Li Jiade and smarter than Li Jiadao gradually dissipated under the effect of propaganda, and Li Jiaming was very smart, but it was still far worse than his genius fourth brother.

Another rumored party, Li Jiaming's third brother, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, doing the fifth-grade competition topic was not as interesting as he said. It's just a junior high school student, and he can't win a younger brother who has just entered the fifth grade, so where can he put his face as the first in the whole grade of the township middle school?

The little sister is very disappointed, but the second aunt and the fourth uncle are not very disappointed, after all, there can be a genius nephew like Li Jiade, who is already smoking from the ancestral tomb, and Jiaming is a little worse, so he is also a little genius, isn't it? Not to mention that although this little genius nephew is a little stubborn, he can be lively, sweet-mouthed, and very conscientious and sensible, and can take his sisters to study together. People sometimes can't be too greedy, talent is given by God, God can give so much to his little nephew, it's generous enough, everyone should be content.

Of course, Li Jiaming's little tricks can hide it from everyone, but he can't hide it from his fourth brother. It's just that after listening to his hardships, although the introverted fourth brother thinks that he is unfounded, he can let it go. It's good to deal with a pure-minded person like the fourth brother, as long as you can make sense, even if he doesn't approve of it, he will fully respect your ideas.

However, the fact that Li Jiaming is not as smart as his fourth brother gave the little sister the opportunity to rebel secretly. This little guy was scared by Li Jiaming, since the fifth brother is not as powerful as the fourth brother, then why don't you let the fourth brother teach? The fourth brother doesn't beat people, he can't even get angry, he still knows how to cry, he knows how to ignore people, he can't even ignore people.

Man Mei is also smart, afraid that she will be like this alone, and she will be beaten again by the fifth brother, and she wants to pull Jin Mei to talk about it. Besides, Manmei thinks that the fourth brother is closer, and Jin Mei also thinks that the fifth brother is the best, only a little worse than her own eldest brother Junling.

"If you want to go, I won't go! The fifth brother has two eggs, and he will share one for me to eat, and your fourth brother has eggs to eat every day, but he never gives them to your third brother!"

As soon as Jin Mei said this, Manmei was also entangled, although the fifth brother beat people, he always ate good things with Wen Mei and himself; although the fourth brother did not beat people, he ate white rice and egg paste alone, and no one else had a share.

"Stupid (stupid)! Have you been beaten in the past two weeks?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Jin Mei, who is only one year older, hates iron and does not become steel, and says: "I want to be beaten again, right? As long as you study hard and do your homework well, the fifth brother has nothing to beat you when he is full? You are stupid, I am not stupid, as long as I study hard, I will not be beaten, the fifth brother will give me good food, what is good about your fourth brother? In addition to not being beaten, there is nothing good to eat, and it depends on your aunt's face." ”

"That's right", as soon as she thought of her aunt's hateful face, Man Mei immediately changed her mind and continued to study with the fifth brother.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone, otherwise I won't play with you in the future!"

"I rarely play with you, huh?"

"I'll give you candy!"

"Bring it!"

The mud house is not soundproof, Li Jiaming next door only snickered when he heard it, he was not angry at all, and he was happy for the little cleverness of the manmei family.

The relationship between people, except for the blood relationship, which cannot be chosen, is a choice relationship. Men and women can choose to love each other, husbands and wives can choose divorce, and students can naturally choose teachers. It's just that when you choose, you have to be clear that since you have made a choice, you have to bear the consequences of your choice.

For example, when the rice in the field is ripe and the sweet potatoes in the field are ripe, he has to ask someone to harvest the rice, thresh and dry it, dig the sweet potatoes, and dry the shredded potatoes; for example, the village has notified him that he will have to pay the public grain and keep the overall grain next month, and he will have to ask someone to Zhang Luo. These heavy physical tasks, no matter how stubborn you Li Jiaming are, are not capable of being completed by a twelve-year-old man.

"Jiaming, you are an ambitious man, I don't think I need my uncle's help in the fields and in the land. ”

The fourth uncle, who clearly held a sickle in his hand and came to the door with a basket, smiled and groaned, and Li Jiaming, who had just finished teaching his sisters and their ancient poems, did not show weakness.

"Fourth uncle, I was just trying to get the field out. You see, 300 catties of public grain and 200 catties of retention per mu of land, excluding seeds, fertilizers, and labor, can earn less than 200 catties of grain a year. You say, if I collect 100 catties of grain per acre of land, will anyone pay for it next year?"

The fourth uncle, who was still proud just now and wanted to tease his nephew, was stunned, so it is really not cost-effective to make a field; but everyone is still fighting for a lot of land, and it must be reasonable, and there are people who help in the business of cutting off heads, and no one will do a loss-making business.

After thinking about it for a while, the fourth uncle, who couldn't figure it out, had to ask for advice from his 'genius' nephew.

Since he is begging for himself, he doesn't owe favors, Li Jiaming took the opportunity to dig a pit for his own uncle.

"Fourth uncle, you have to pay a master's money to learn a craft. ”

"Cut, you think beautifully, I can't figure it out, I won't ask others?"

The fourth uncle turned around and went out to ask another genius nephew, who knew that the monster fourth brother also thought for a long time, but asked the fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, why do you say this?"

"If I knew, I'd ask you?"

The fourth brother and the fourth uncle didn't know that it didn't matter, the second aunt who had just finished drying the grain in the sunning began to urge.

"Fourth, hurry up and help the third child cut the crops, and don't look at the time to play!"

"No, second sister-in-law, you don't know ......"

The second sister-in-law never thought about it, but she still reprimanded: "Stupid! He knows, you just ask him, anyway, if he tells you or not, you have to help him." ”

"I'm not unconvinced."

The fourth aunt, who was wearing a straw hat under the eaves, had just finished cleaning up the house and joked to her husband: "What are you playing with him, he is a genius, what are you?

"It's too", the fourth uncle scratched his head and laughed at himself: "Their readers are too bad, they just don't say it when they know it." If you want to blame, blame us for being stupid. ”

Who knew that the fourth brother next to him said seriously: "Fourth uncle, this is not a question of stupidity and cleverness, but something we have overlooked? Is Jiaming at home? Let me ask him, what is going on?"

When the uncle with a flexible mind and a good understanding of the world heard this, he hurriedly whispered a few words to the aunt and asked her to follow.
