Episode 18
What happened to the Yao family, Qiu Lian, who was in the same city, didn't know, let alone Qiu Bao, a wild girl who was far away in Qingping Town.
After school on this day, Qiu Bao returned home with Xiao Hei with a small schoolbag on his back, and found a woman about the same age as his grandmother sitting in the yard, shaking a big sunflower fan and talking to his grandmother.
This person Qiu Bao recognized as Grandma's sister-in-law Yang Qin, a person who thinks about Grandma's blue brick house all day long.
"Hello uncle." Qiu Bao said hello and walked into the house.
"Po is back, hungry, right? In the kitchen, there is eyebrow pea peanut porridge and simmered sweet potatoes. Hey? What about the little wolf? Seeing her come back, Grandma pointed to the kitchen and said. found that only Xiao Hei was following her, so she asked.
"It went up the mountain with Grandpa and Grandpa Che." Throwing the small schoolbag into the sofa in the hall, Qiu Bao went upstairs to see the growth of the fairy grass. The three fairy grasses all grew a few small green and fluffy diamond-shaped leaves, and she was in good spirits, so she came out of the kitchen to find food with confidence.
Grandpa Che is an old friend of his grandfather, and he retired together when he was young. His son drove to the next town to buy vegetables, and Grandpa Che remembered that his old friend Qiu Guangming lived in Qingping Town, so he followed. The two old men were happy to meet, and when they heard that Lao Qiu was training a little girl in the mountains, Grandpa Che was very interested and gave Grandpa a lot of advice.
Fortunately, she had practiced in her previous life, and it was difficult for ordinary children to cope with it unless they were talented. Because she could barely cope with it, the two old men thought she was talented, and today they went up the mountain to add hidden stakes to her, and tomorrow she had to be more careful.
Today's quiz, I was afraid that her burden would be too heavy, so my grandfather specially gave her a day off, and she didn't have to go up the mountain to practice tonight. And the time of dinner is at seven o'clock in the evening, and it has not yet arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon, and these two sweet potatoes are equal to Qiu Bao's afternoon tea meal.
She took two from the stove and sat in the yard, breaking one first, and suddenly a sweet smell wafted in the yard, tempting people. Grandma poured a pot of eyebrow pea porridge for Xiao Hei, he is not a picky eater, he eats whatever he feeds.
"Ah Bao, I was punished for sleeping in class again today, right? How do you say hello, you kid? Living in my grandmother's house and not knowing how to study hard, I really lost my face to my grandmother's house. Yang Qin glanced at Qiu Bao with a pair of triangular eyes, and mocked.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Little kids will take it seriously. Grandma glanced at her angrily and said.
Who are the people in her brother's family, she understands very well, she didn't care about it for the sake of her parents before. Now that her parents are gone, and she has only one daughter in her family, she stares at her family's blue brick house and is greedy. I can't wait for her family to die, so I can take over this big blue brick house.
Today, the poorest family in Shangchen Village is none other than her brothers.
Men are lazy to eat, and women don't do much and gossip everywhere. Tell people everywhere that their son is working hard outside and making a lot of money, but I don't know if it's true or not. I haven't seen those nephews and nieces come back with money over the years, and the ancestral house has been living in for decades and is still the same.
Not long after Qiu Lian got married, Chen Aidi gave them money to repair the ancestral house, but it was all divided by their children. Now the roof of the kitchen has not been repaired, and every time it rains, they can hear their family cursing the heavens and the earth.
In the past, Qiu Guangming also helped Xiuxiu, but later he refused to go.
Because they went around making fun of Lao Qiu's family as a desperate family, and no one sent him to the end when he died, and said that Lao Qiu, a foreigner, could only bury his body outside the village when he was old. After Qiu Bao came, they said that Qiu Bao was a disaster and wanted to encourage the older generation in the village to kick the Qiu family out of the village.
Now that grandpa has seen them, his sharp eyes can almost slice them, so Yang Qin always chooses to come when Qiu Guangming is not there.
"Alas, dear brother, I am doing this for your own good. How can you do without a man at home who supports the door? Could it be that you can count on such a little girl? If you die in the future, you won't have a grandson, how desolate it will be to throw a brazier and beat a flag! ”
With an attitude of genuinely thinking about you, Yang Qin continued: "I thought about giving you roots before, but you don't want to. Now that they have grown up and have their own ideas, we are not reluctant. However, we also have a lot of grandchildren, and all of them have flexible brains. It's like Po, she doesn't look like a girl, she either steals chickens and dogs or sleeps in class all day long. Seeing the punishment of the sky, I don't know what it is in the future......"
"Sister-in-law! If the child learns to listen to these words, you will feel good. Grandma was annoyed.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, alas, my mouth is always so ......honest" Yang Qin knew very well that her sister-in-law was a soft bag, and her anger was only occasionally inflated, and she didn't take her grandma's anger to heart at all.
Seeing that Grandma was so angry that her face turned pale, Qiu Bao, who was sitting under the tree and gnawing sweet potatoes, suddenly said crisply, "Uncle, I don't need to be punished for today's test, and I scored 65 points in the last test." "It's not something to be proud of.
Yang Qin pursed the corners of her mouth disdainfully, "Oh? So well-behaved! Didn't sleep in class? "The little grandson of the old Qiu family likes to go to class and sleep, and it is a big joke in Shangchen Village.
"I didn't sleep until I finished answering the papers, and Brother Niu was punished for cheating on the answer sheet and stood at the door to show the public, because he only scored 16 points in the last test, and the teacher was afraid of affecting my IQ, so he didn't dare to let me stand next to him." Da Niu is Yang Qin's eldest grandson.
Ignoring Yang Qin's black face, Qiu Bao's small mouth continued, "And Brother Da Niu was punished and detained in the hall today, the teacher said to make up for him to improve his cultural level, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back very late, uncle, don't you go back to bring him food?" I heard that Teacher Su's house had a rat plague last night, and she wouldn't eat the food that was touched by rats, so the principal gave her a basket of radish. ”
What? My own golden grandson can only gnaw on turnips?!
Yang Qin didn't know that Qiu Bao was good at opening up the river in addition to doing bad things, and a gust of wind blew out of the yard as if he was scalded by boiling water while waving a big sunflower fan.
Seeing this, Qiu Bao silently prayed for the old class in his heart.
The countrymen respect their teachers very much, especially if the other party is the teacher of their own children, Yang Qin is ignorant and does not dare to splash on his grandson's homeroom teacher. What's more, Su Ling is an all-round educational talent in school, and even the village chief and principal make her a few points better, not to mention ordinary villagers.
Obviously the family is poor, but Yang Qin is very active in giving gifts. Of course, this gift is nothing more than two taro pieces of sweet potatoes and less than one or two weights of rice. Don't look at the small quantity of each item, it will be heavy when mixed together!
This is what Yang Qin has always thought.
And she likes to pat the teachers' ass, and the good words of praise are just a few sentences over and over again. From time to time, she boasted that her grandchildren were too smart to be human, and some people once called them the reincarnation of the heavenly Wenqu star and Wu Zhuangyuan, which deserved the attention of all teachers, and their enthusiasm and repeated words could make teachers run away.
Teacher Su is very fierce to poor students, but he is very kind to others. This is a means of communication, which does not mean that she really has the patience to listen to the nagging of the village women.
Therefore, when Yang Qin goes like this, Teacher Su must have a headache.
Qiu Bao doesn't care about that, though.
