After the sisters and brothers finished lunch, Hula went to the ground. This time, Lin Yukou also helped dig up the shepherd's cabbage, and Lin Xiaodi was running around playing wildly, and he ate candy from time to time.
Lin Yujuan continued to brainwash them, she thought that she couldn't do everything by herself. It would be nice if the way of thinking and concepts of brothers, sisters and brothers could be similar.
"Sister, we can make money ourselves, I see that the girls in the town are so beautiful in their clothes, and the flowers on their heads are so beautiful. I can't even name it. If only we had such beautiful clothes. Suddenly, the conversation changed and said, "Sister, why does the grandmother of Wang Youcai's family in the alley next door to us scold her second daughter-in-law every day." "I know I've heard my mother tell me that she dislikes her second daughter-in-law's low dowry, and only marries two quilts on your family's lips all day long. In addition, she is too honest, so she is honestly angry. "Ah, it turns out that marrying someone is so terrible, and you have to bring a lot of dowries." Girls are really miserable, and they have to be angry when they marry someone else's family. Sister, you said that we can marry a few quilts in the future? ”
"Huh? How did it get to ourselves. In this situation, it is estimated that our family will make more clothes in the future, and it would be good to bring a few simple furniture. Not all countrymen live like this. I don't know what kind of life the rich people live. Lin Xiujuan often listens to the old ladies in the village, and she also knows a lot of gossip from aunts and aunts.
"Little sister, look at our eldest aunt's family, there is no son and no queen, and the eldest aunt is working hard to save money. I heard that I plan to let the eldest sister recruit a son-in-law at home, and it will cost a lot of money. Look at the eldest sister now going to the field to do farm work, it's really hard. ”
"Yes, yes, eldest sister, there is not much food for one acre of land in the field. How much land can a person plant in a year? That is, enough to eat at home. If you want to have money in your hands, you have to earn it yourself. "Well, what you said makes sense" Lin Xiujuan also agreed. Lin Yujuan saw that the eldest sister had succeeded in brainwashing, and hurried to Lin Yukou's side to continue brainwashing.
"Big brother, do you say it's a good thing to be rich?"
"Well, of course it's a good thing, if you have money, you can buy what you want"
"Then what do you want to buy, big brother?"
"It was really interesting to see Liu Shiyu holding a gadget in his hand that day, and he refused to ask him to borrow it from me. It's stingy! ”
"By the way, if his family has money, he can buy things. We can buy it if we have money, although we don't have money now, but we can earn it. If you have money, you can live in a big house, dress well, eat well, and honor your parents. ”
"Yes, little sister, although you are in the eyes of money. But there is truth to this. Lin Xiujuan echoed. As for Brother Lin, it's even simpler, just tell him that if he has money, he can buy all kinds of candy, snacks and toys. At this point, the four sisters and brothers have a unified view and want to work hard to earn money!!
After digging a sack, I called it a day and went home, and before going to bed at night, my siblings held a meeting to discuss the distribution of money. Lin Yujuan wanted to keep it herself, but there were brothers and sisters above, and the entanglement for a long time was unsuccessful. In the end, it was agreed that the money would be divided equally among the four people, and individuals would use their own share of what they needed to buy. But you can't spend it indiscriminately, you have to save it.
The next day, the four sisters and brothers all walked to the town, and they still carried twenty or thirty catties of vegetables on the five or six miles road. Fortunately, I picked up a wooden stick on the road, and the two big ones were carried all the way to the town, and I really didn't want to take home two pennies when I sold the last few catties, and I sold all of them. It's only 30 yuan, not as much as yesterday. Lin Yujuan comforted everyone, this is how doing business is. If we don't come out, if we don't have these thirty wenes, which little girl in the village can have a few of us rich. Everyone agreed that the walk home was too far. Brother Lin even leaned on the ground and refused to leave. The two big ones took turns to hunch him back.
If you go to sell vegetables later, you can't bring Lin Xiaodi anymore, and Lin Guilu also got them a small flat shoulder. In this way, more than ten catties of vegetables can still be picked in the town in turn. Lin Yujuan adjusted the position of selling vegetables again, and put a position next to Aunt Zhou, who sold spring roll skins. It is much better to set it up with Boss Gu near the bridge, and it is much better to sell it in two places. Boss Gu will also call a few of them when he comes to the town to sell fish, and at this time, Junior Brother Lin will also follow.
After selling vegetables for a few days, everyone in the village also knew about it, and they really said everything. Lin Yujuan heard what she said in front of Lin Guilu,
"Oh, I said Lin Lao Er, you see that you are so stingy that you are reluctant to buy candy for your son, I heard that your children all go to sell vegetables for candy by themselves."
There are also good things to say, "Seeing that several sisters and brothers are promising, they all know that they have made money, and they will definitely be no worse when they grow up." ”
There are also children who come to fight the autumn breeze and ask for sugar to eat...
Especially a few boys from the third uncle's family are even more troublesome. They all told their sisters and brothers to block back.
Before going to bed that night, Lin Yujuan talked to her brother and sister while practicing yoga. Brother Lin, who was joining in the fun, also learned. "Sister, we've been selling vegetables for a few days. How many copper plates are there now? ”
"I'll count, one two..." It's time to count the money, and everyone loves this activity. "Well, there are one hundred and seventy-eight, I'll go find a rope to string it on." lowered his voice and said, "Mom seems to have come to turn over the money in the past two days, haha, little sister, we'll hide it in a while." ”
"Sister, do you think we should learn to keep accounts? If you have a lot of money in the future, what should you do, you always have to know it in your heart. You say that both of our grandparents are literate, why don't any of our grandchildren learn from them? If you want to learn bookkeeping, you have to learn to read and write, and it's a waste to have ready-made people at home who can't teach them. ”
"I seem to have heard that our grandfather didn't learn well because he was studying. He also lost all his belongings, and now he can't even plant land. ”
Who spread the theory of the uselessness of reading at this time? Who is it?
"Then I didn't hear that the Liu family didn't have a talent, I heard that they are now teaching in the county school. I heard that he is still an official? ”
"I heard it, what's its name? is Liu Shiyu's own uncle. Anyway, it's a petty official. "These are too far away and unfamiliar to Lin Xiujuan, so I don't know much about them." However, people have a reputation for showing off their talents, they don't have to pay rent, and they earn a lot of money a year. It's much better than us little people.
You can inquire about this later, and now I want everyone to learn to recognize a few words. As long as they can recognize hundreds of big characters, they can be in the countryside in the future, and they can keep an account. It's better to read a letter than to be blind.
So a few days later, the sisters and brothers beat a pound of wine on the street, bought two pounds of meat and went to grandpa's house. The old man was very happy when he saw that there was wine and meat.
"Ah, my old man has also enjoyed the blessings of his grandson. Grandma is going to braise the meat, and then fry peanuts to serve the wine. The two Lin Xiujuan sisters also consciously carried the meat to the kitchen to help with their grandmother. Lin Yujuan grabbed the work of burning the fire, and sat under the stove without moving, just put the straw in a while. The key is to be warm.
Mrs. Jiang is usually not too close to her granddaughters, and she always feels that these yellow-haired girls are earthy and vulgar. Also, the babies who are only a few years old follow their parents to do what they can. It's long gone that innocence is gone. But today, for the sake of a few grandchildren, they still know that the meat is being sent, and they are still a lot more polite.
"Grandma, I heard that you can still read and write, and you can read a lot of books?" Lin Yujuan is straight to the point
"Of course, grandma, I had a really good life as a girl. Every day, the needlework woman is popular, and she also reads and learns words. Look at you guys. In the end, I actually disliked it
"Then grandma, can you teach us a few, if we can learn half of your skills, it will be enough for our sisters to use for a lifetime." Lin Yujuan quickly picked it up.
"Well, teach you how to read, okay, just come early every morning and learn it for a morning." Mrs. Jiang thinks it's a good thing to be able to give full play to her strengths, and it is useless to recognize a few words in the countryside. It's better to teach them, and teach them more elegantly to show my ability.
"Grandma, we have to sell vegetables every morning. After that, we learned to write, and we also had to buy pen and paper or something, didn't we? ”
"Money, money, money, it's cheesy!" The old lady didn't think so, she had never earned a penny in her life.
"Grandma, we still have to earn money to tie you up. If we make a lot of money, we will buy you and your grandfather a gift for the New Year's holidays. You say it's not good? ”
The old lady who Lin Yujuan said this was beautiful in her heart, regardless of whether what this girl said was true or not, but now she feels comfortable listening to it.
"Yes, grandma, we all have to honor you when we are out. The two of us sisters must be serious about learning to read and write. Lin Xiujuan is now influenced by her sister a lot, and she decided to coax the old lady again.
"To say that our family is really in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings, you and grandpa, two ready-made gentlemen, do not know how to learn. How can there be such a good thing in other people's families, you can learn if you want to. ”
Lin Yujuan squeezed her eyes at her sister when she heard this: Sister, you are quite good at talking. Lin Xiujuan gave her a big smile back.
The taro braised pork was fried with peanuts again, and two vegetarian dishes were fried and served. Plus sweet potato rice. Grandma cooked more rice and grabbed more rice to know that she had to keep the rice. The grandchildren bought meat, and they didn't have to keep them for a meal.
When the dishes were served, the old man couldn't wait to pour half a bowl of wine. Squeaked a sip of wine and went down, the beauty in my heart. I hadn't drunk for two days, so I thought about when I would go to the town to get two catties, and these grandchildren were delivered.
The two old men's acres of land were planted with the help of their sons, so they are usually not too busy. Now it's good that grandchildren are asking for literacy at the door. While eating, we discussed the time to study. In the end, everyone decided to come over every day after dinner for half an hour. When the weather is hot, you can learn more when the days are long.
In the end, Lin Yujuan begged her grandfather to make them a wooden box. It is intended to be used to put money, and the kind that can be locked on the outside.
"Okay, but you'll have to trade the wine for haha." Old Man Lin refused to work in vain, and took the opportunity to ask for a few catties of wine.
The sisters and brothers agreed one after another, helped grandma clean up the table after dinner, washed the dishes and chopsticks and went home.
Grandma Jiang saw that several grandchildren had gone home, so she walked to Old Man Lin and asked; "Several children from the second family have come to read and write, do you want to call the eldest and the third family to teach together. A sheep is driven, and a flock of sheep is also driven, and if we don't ask, we will say that we are biased. Besides, I don't think it's a bad thing to be able to read a few words. ”
"Hmph, old woman, you don't know what the people in the village think of the two of us? said that I was stupid when I studied, and I lost all my family business. Alas, that's right, I think I was a young owner back then. Now he's an old country man. It's better for you to ask, how can a few grandchildren be able to make white ding? Maybe there's one who has become a talent. After the old man finished speaking, he fell into the good memories of the past.
Jiang Shi saw that the sky was not dark yet, and the two sons' homes were not too far away, so let's take a trip. When I arrived at the eldest son's house, the eldest son and his wife had just come back and sat down at the table to eat. Hearing Jiang's intention, Boss Lin hesitated, and his eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Zhang, immediately objected.
"Mother-in-law, you also know the situation in our family, just these two girls. Now that Su Juan is also older, she can help at home and abroad. The two of us can also work outside with peace of mind. Let her learn what words and what books she reads, and don't have thoughts that she shouldn't have when she arrives. We countrymen can do our part. Although I am illiterate, I have also heard the saying that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented. My family, Sujuan, is at home and outside the house, needlework and farming, and I can't do anything on the pot and under the stove. We appreciate your kindness, and it is not appropriate for the girl's family to go to literacy. ”
Lin Zhang thought in his heart: Don't learn from you old lady when the time comes, and you can't eat a few sour poems. What's the use of being like you, who can't lift your hands and shoulders? At most, I can plant a few vegetables and raise two flowers, but I can't live this day. But because it was his mother-in-law, he didn't say it. I don't have a boy in my family, so I can only raise the girl as a boy. Alas, I pity my eldest girl for being so old and working in the fields. But what can be done, can't the countrymen still take concubines? Separated? It's not a good number. As long as she recruits a good son-in-law, the life of a family working together is not the same, and it is not much better to make your own decisions than to marry someone else and look at your mother-in-law's face.
Jiang Shi touched his nose and didn't have the heart to sit down anymore. After leaving the old family, I went to the third family's house, and I remembered that the daughter-in-law of the third family was so energetic.
As a result, the third family's speech was even more unkind: "Mother-in-law, my two older sons were just able to help you let them go to school?" What is the use of reading? My father-in-law has read a lot, but what is the result? So a big family business is gone, if my father-in-law has been concentrating on learning crafts with the old lady since he was a child, can it be the current situation? My three sons are not in a good life, such a grandfather. ”
Jiang Shi was so angry that she didn't know what to say about these three daughters-in-law, if she scolded her, she didn't know how to be obedient to the old man. I can't even talk about her when I quarrel, so it's really embarrassing. When I got home, I just said that I didn't come to study, and I didn't say anything else to the old man. Why let him know and be angry. Is it also wrong to read sensibly? It seems right, but something seems wrong. Jiang Shi felt that the two villains were fighting in the ring, and they seemed to be a little reasonable. It's useless to struggle for a long time.
