Chapter 144: Growing Up (Adding more to the He's Bi, who looks back on the past but is empty)
As busy as Zhou Xiaoquan is, there is also a little potato, he has been pinching a little bit at noon several times recently, and he is no longer waiting at the gate as early as before, and he can even have time to write two pages of homework.
"You seem to have been busy lately!" Zhou Xiaoan teased him, "I feel so honored to find time to eat with me at noon!" ”
Little Potato carefully observed Zhou Xiao'an's smiling eyes, knowing that she was not angry, so he pursed his lips and smiled, but refused to say what he was doing.
Zhou Xiaoan didn't ask, only asked him, "Remember our agreement, right?" ”
Little Potato nodded seriously, "Don't do dangerous things, don't do illegal things, body first, study second." ”
Okay, just remember.
is such a big boy, and he grew up wild in that environment, and Zhou Xiaoan also knows that it is impossible to control him in everything.
Don't look at him so well-behaved and obedient in front of Zhou Xiaoan, in fact, she knows that the real little potatoes are definitely not like this, at least a large part of them are not like this.
Otherwise, he would have been treated obediently by his stepmother and father a long time ago, and he would not have succeeded in forcing them to beat him in the street.
So apart from the principled issues, Zhou Xiaoan does not restrict him too much.
She saved him, but she could only help him, and he had to rely on himself in the rest of his life, and he couldn't erase his nature, nor could he completely pinch him into what he thought was right, that was selfishness and control, not love for him.
As long as he doesn't break the law and doesn't hurt himself, let him go! And he didn't delay his studies, and now he has started to study the textbooks of the fifth grade of primary school.
Both of them discussed, and they would learn the curriculum of primary school by themselves, and send him to junior high school next year.
He had a talent for learning, so he was sent to school. Zhou Xiaoan has thought about it, she has the ability to provide for Xiao Tudou to go to school, and secretly selling dozens of catties of rice like last time is enough for his tuition for two years.
Even if he only graduated from junior high school, it will be very helpful for him in the rest of his life.
Zhou Xiaoan thought well, but Xiao Tuan didn't cooperate.
Within two days, this kid brought Zhou Xiaoan a roll of gross tickets, "Two cents and six cents a piece." It seems that he has already counted it himself, and it is all one cent, two cents and five cents of change, and it looks like a large volume.
Zhou Xiaoan didn't take the money, and waited for him to explain seriously, "I earned it myself." Xiao Tuan didn't want to say how he earned it, but seeing that Zhou Xiaoan still didn't speak, he hurriedly added, "It's not to go to a shallow mine to carry coal, if you say no, I won't go." ”
He went to a shallow mine to carry coal, carrying dozens of catties or hundreds of catties of coal, and climbed out of a tunnel of one or two kilometers, ten catties and three cents.
He saw with his own eyes that the uncle who had been carrying it for several years was so tired that he only had a handful of bones left, and finally fell silently in the pit, and many people got sick, coughed up a mouthful of blood, wiped it with his foot and went to the back.
It's really no choice but to exchange your life for money.
His father and stepmother forced him to go, and if he didn't go, he would starve to death. An An scared him with a fierce face, "If you dare to go, I will hang you up and beat you!" He pursed his lips and smiled, his heart felt more down-to-earth and warm than he had ever felt before.
So he will never go to the shallow mine to carry coal again.
Zhou Xiaoan pursed her lips and stared at her eyes without speaking, today she must figure out where the money came from! Some things can be left to children alone, and some things must be strictly controlled! It's a matter of direction! Don't be careless!
It didn't take three seconds for the little potato to be defeated, "I'm going to pick up scrap metal for the money!" I didn't save the fare, and I ate all the things you gave me! It's true! Ann! You see, I've grown tall! ”
It is indeed a tall man, this child is like a small tree transplanted from the desert to the fertile land, and in a few months it has jumped a lot, and his face is no longer the immaturity of a little boy when he first met, and has already revealed the tough outline of a little boy.
"Eat well, you must sleep enough for eight hours a day, you must not fall behind in your studies, you must not break the law, and you must not do dangerous things." Zhou Xiaoan said that the little potato nodded vigorously, very seriously.
After speaking, the two of them also seriously pulled the hook once before they officially completed the agreement.
Like Xiao Tudou, he is also very busy with Jianxin, and it is easy to have time on Sunday, he went to the night school to see Zhou Xiaoan, and he can't wait for Zhou Xiaoquan to pick up firewood and come over to get to know him.
Zhou Xiaoan has said several times that she wants to introduce them to each other, but the three children have been very busy recently, and she can't find a chance!
"Niuniu and my mother are at home, I don't worry." Jianxin is also very helpless.
But his caution is understandable, and now Mrs. Ou hates Xiao Niuniu to the core.
Since she knew that her eldest son's salary was missing five yuan a month, and she couldn't even bring the little girl's rations to the family, Mrs. Ou was so fussing that she almost didn't turn the house over.
"She even knelt down for my father, so that my father could pity the poor family in the countryside."
Mrs. Ou can indeed do this, and it is indeed useful to Master Ou, if it weren't for Jianxin's compulsion, Master Ou would almost agree to the old lady.
"I took a knife and told my dad that if he didn't let Niuniu go to nursery, I would kill the whole family and kill myself! My sister won't survive anyway, so what else do I have to fear! ”
There was a lot of trouble at that time, and Jianxin really hurt himself. He said now that he was scaring his father, but with his ruthlessness at the time, Zhou Xiaoan was not sure if he would really kill someone.
can scare Mrs. Ou, but if she doesn't move, she really can't move.
Mrs. Ou couldn't please her son and grandson, so she went to the nursery again, telling people that she was Xiao Niuniu's grandmother, and she wanted to take her back, and she had to drop out of school, so that the family would refund the tuition! Refund the food fee!
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoan reminded Jianxin that he had gone to the nursery to say hello in advance, and no one could pick up Xiao Niuniu except him. Xiao Niu Niu was not dropped out of school by Mrs. Ou.
When Jianxin arrived, Mrs. Ou was making a big fuss about the nursery, Jianxin bit her to death and didn't know her, the little girl was so scared that she could only cry, and the children also cried, and the nursery immediately called the police.
At the police station, Jianxin told the truth to the police and told the family in public without concealing anything.
Master Ou and his wife have always been afraid of the ugliness of their family, so they can't bear to hide everything, otherwise Mrs. Ou wouldn't have the confidence to make trouble.
She was sure that Master Ou and his wife would compromise with her for fear of being embarrassed in the end.
But she didn't expect Jianxin to be so open-minded.
The public security who handled the case was also so angry that they couldn't do it, but there is no relevant law in the country for this kind of thing, and the parties involved are sons and granddaughters, even if Jianxin wants to sue Mrs. Ou, he can't tell anything.
Therefore, the public security comrades could only let the Jianxin brothers and sisters go home first, but under the pretext that the situation was unclear, they detained Mrs. Ou for 24 hours.
Mrs. Ou was so frightened that she was incontinent during her detention, and when she came out, she kowtowed when she saw a person in a police uniform, as if she was crazy.
But when he went home and straightened up to pinch his son and daughter-in-law, his temper was not only confiscated, but even more serious!
She didn't know what to think, so she asked Jinbao to go to the nursery school too.
She had already inquired, and the food in the nursery was much better than at home! You can even eat white noodles a week! What kind of state subsidy for children! Such a good thing, of course Jinbao has to go! You can't be cheaper than that money-losing goods!
also tried to get Master Ou to go to the nursery to negotiate and give Jinbao the white noodles of the little girl. Jinbao has a large amount of rice, and I can't eat enough at that time!
Jinbao went to the nursery, and Mrs. Ou cried at home every day that half of the things sent to the countryside were missing.
So Jianxin doesn't worry about Xiao Niuniu being with her mother, her mother is now difficult to protect herself, and she can't protect Xiao Niuniu at all. (To be continued.) )
