Chapter 53: Selfishness
The next day, except for Qian Sangui and Cheng Yue, who were not in good health and wanted to sleep for a while, the people in the third room of the Qian family all got up early.
Qian Yijin got up and ran outside to practice martial arts - running, squatting, boxing, and kicking, which Qian Sangui usually taught him.
Qian Yixiu also yawned with panda eyes and went out.
Qian Manxia went into the kitchen to cook, and Wu went to Songtan to fetch water.
Qian Yixiu did not follow his little brother to practice martial arts as usual, but went out to the village.
"I'll go to my grandfather's house." Qian Yixiu shouted loudly.
By the time Qian Manxia wanted to ask more clearly, she had already run out of the door. When Qian Yijin heard this, he didn't worry about his sister, so he also ran out.
The sun had just risen in the east, and the moors were wet, with dewdrops hanging from the wildflowers, and the sweet scent of the air mixed with the humidity was refreshing. Everything is so beautiful, but the hearts of the little brothers and sisters are not easy.
When I entered the village, it was still very quiet, except for the crowing of the rooster, there was almost no noise, and almost every house closed its door. Their running sounds were so clear that the dogs in the yard barked wildly.
Knocking on the Qian family's compound, it was the Wang family who came to open the door, and except for the Wang family and the Xu family, the others got up one after another.
Seeing the two siblings so early, Wang asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”
Qian Yijin looked as usual, but Qian Yixiu was sweating. She gasped and said, "Nothing happened, I ...... I'm just here to talk to grandma. Florists and flower farmers did not ...... this year If you don't plant a lot of flowers, you may buy them in large quantities, so you can pick some of them first and ask the flower shop. Be quick, don't get ahead of others. If...... If the florist collects it, it is much better than selling it yourself. The price will definitely be lowered, but the advantage is that the income is stable. ”
Wang Shi laughed, "Yo, Xiu'er is really a clever girl." It's rare that you have the heart, come in and sit down. ”
"Thank you, grandma, no, the family is still waiting for me to eat." Qian Yixiu shook his head, and pulled his little brother back and ran away.
Wang Shi went into the kitchen and said to Xu, "Xiu'er has been rolling down the slope since it has been good, and people have become smarter." That kid really came to tell us how to sell Xia grass so early. Unlike Jinwa, just with a sweet mouth, I have never seen him move his real character. I can see that Xiu'er is like your third uncle, and Jinwa is like Wu's, just good at talking. Thinking about it, he said, "It's not that they have a way to make more money, so they told us about it." ”
Qian Dagui happened to come out to wash his face, and when he heard Wang's words, he said, "You mother-in-law has a lot of heart, last night Sangui said that their family is tight, and they should take care of the work in the field first, and you didn't hear it......"
They ran to Qian Ergui's house again. For the Tang family, Qian Yixiu didn't want to come here. It's just that for the sake of Qian Ergui and Qian Manhe's face, they only have to come once.
The courtyard of Qian Ergui's house was only repaired last year, and there are still many vines climbing on the wall of the courtyard. mud brick house, roof covered with tiles. Although it is not as good as the Qian family's compound, it is still a medium-sized household in the village, more than a hundred times better than a three-bedroom house.
It was Qian Manhe's daughter-in-law Wang who came to open the door, so early, the lazy woman of the Tang family must not have gotten up yet. Qian Yixiu said what he said to Wang again.
Wang smiled, "Thank you Xiu'er, and thank you Jinwa, I'll tell my father-in-law." ”
Wang closed the door, and Tang's voice came from the window of the main room, "Who came knocking on the door so early?" ”
"It's Xiu'er and Jinwa." Wang said Qian Yixiu's words.
Tang muttered, "What do you know about the big girl of Douding?" Didn't the Wu family ask her to toss us. The shopkeeper of the flower shop is not a relative of our family, and he will buy our family's Xia Cao for a long time, what a! ”
Qian Ergui said, "Didn't everyone say that they wanted to be the first!" You, the mother-in-law, won't listen to good words. He said loudly, "Manhe's daughter-in-law will go to find Aunt Diegu after eating, and go to the county seat quickly." ”
"Who will go to the county seat where she will go to the ground?" Tang shouted, "She goes to the ground, I'll go to the county seat." ”
Qian Ergui sneered, "With your broken mouth, all the business that can be negotiated will be ruined by you, so go to the ground honestly." ”
Leaving the second room of the Qian family, Qian Yijin asked his sister puzzled, "The eldest grandfather and the second grandfather are so selfish, and they let the grandmother marry our mother." Especially two/milk, even worse. Why do you have to tell them how to make money? ”
Look at Xiao Zhengtai, his eyes are still a little red and swollen, which shows how sad he cried yesterday.
Qian Yixiu said helplessly, "The eldest grandfather and the second grandfather are unwilling to choose to protect themselves because they are burdened by their mothers, which is not the same as the Tang family who want to sell their mothers to the Xu family for their own selfish desires." They are just selfish, not vicious. Selfishness is the root of human inferiority. It's that people are selfish, but some people are more selfish and some people are less. There are too few kind-hearted people like our grandmothers in this world. I told them that the way to make money is to make them reluctant to leave our family, but I also hope that they can remember their feelings and reach out when we have something to ask for something...... At present, we have not found a stronger backer, and we still have to ask for them. Who made us too weak? People are under the low eaves, and they have to bow their heads......" Her voice became lower and lower.
Although Qian Yijin is only six years old, he is extremely smart. He understood his sister's words and lowered his head in frustration. After thinking about it, he looked up again and said, "When we are out and stronger, they are not allowed to dislike their mothers, and let them beg us." After speaking, his mouth was pursed tightly, and his face was firm.
"Hmm." Qian Yixiu nodded heavily.
The little brother pulled the little sister and walked slowly home. In the morning light, the mottled earthen courtyard stood alone in the moor, desolate and dilapidated, as if another storm would be washed away.
As soon as he stood in front of the gate of the courtyard, the door opened, and it was Cheng Yue who opened it. She didn't see her son and daughter when she got up, and she was a little anxious. When I heard that they had gone to the village, I stood here and looked out through the crack in the door.
During breakfast, Qian Yijin said to Qian Sangui, "Master, I want to take a step to go to school, let's repair the yard and house first." ”
Qian Sangui shook his head and said, "Ye is already a wasted person, so I look forward to you reading and reasoning, having a chance to make a career earlier, and putting up the portal earlier." Your study is the number one priority in our family, more important than anything else. I thought about it at night, our yard and house should be repaired sooner, just next month. ”
Qian Yixiu said, "Since you want to do it, why don't you go together?" The two things are not contradictory. ”
Qian Sangui shook his head and said, "It's better to do it one by one, so that it won't be too eye-catching." ”
During the busy farming period, the Qian family worked together in three rooms, first the big house, then the second room, and then the third room. The third room has few people, not only Wu and Qian Manxia have to go to work in the field, but Xiao Zhengtai and Qian Yijin also have to go.
Since these families did not have cattle or donkeys, they borrowed the donkeys of Xie Huzi's family together to come to the three families to take turns in the pear land.
The slopes of the Qian family's houses are next to each other, the big house and the second house are four acres each, and the third room is only two acres.
The three of them were not at home, and Qian Yixiu was guarding at home, occasionally going out to dig some fatty wild vegetables by the nearby stream.
The third room has only two acres of sloping land, and it will be busy in three days. Unlike the big house and the second room, after being busy with the slopes here, I have to go to the paddy fields by the Honghe River.
After finishing the work in the field, Wu went to the Xu family's butcher shop the next day to cut a two-pound pork belly, took a bag of candy from the Zhang family, and led Qian Yijin to meet Mr. Zhang privately.
