108. University
Lin Zichen looked at Lin Zixi's tangled little appearance, sighed silently, knowing that he was a little anxious, "If Xiaoxi wants to go to a big city, study hard, and if you are admitted to university, you can go to study in a big city like the eldest brother and the second brother." ”
Lin Zixi nodded heavily, and then asked curiously, "Sister, is college fun?" ”
Lin Zichen couldn't help laughing, a little envious of the child's innocence, "It's fun, the campus of the university is big." Lin Zichen opened his arm and made a very big movement for Lin Zixi, "The scenery is also very beautiful, there are mountains and rivers, there are many teaching buildings, and there are also large libraries, gymnasiums, and canteens."
Lin Zichen kept telling Lin Zixi about the campus landscapes of some famous schools he had visited in his previous life, and Lin Zixi was dumbfounded.
"Sister, what is a library or gymnasium? And the cafeteria? ”
"A library is a place where a lot of books are placed, and a big library has several floors, just like those multi-story buildings that you see on TV, where there are all kinds of books, and students can borrow them and read them, and when they are finished, they have to return them."
Lin Zichen explained the role of each building to Lin Zixi in simple and popular words, and Lin Zixi's eyes were glowing green when he heard it.
"Sister, I want to be admitted to college like my eldest brother and second brother." Lin Zixi said with high morale.
Lin Zichen touched Lin Zixi's head again and gave Lin Zixi an encouraging look, "Xiao Xi can't just stop at the height of the eldest brother, Xiao Xi should also develop in a further direction." ”
"Further down?" Lin Zixi was a little confused.
Lin Zichen explained with a smile: "Does Xiaoxi want to go to a foreign country to see?" ”
"Foreign?" Lin Zixi frowned, "I don't want to go to foreign countries, foreign countries are all ghosts, and it's not fun at all." ”
When Lin Zichen heard this, he was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he understood why Lin Zixi had such a big resistance to foreign countries.
However, Lin Zixi is still young, and these things are not in a hurry At this time, the world is constantly changing, and the thinking and ideas of rural people will slowly change. No one can say what will happen in the future, so let it be.
Wang Wansan, who was on the side, overheard the conversation between the sisters and brothers, and couldn't help but be amazed, looked at Lin Qingxiang with envy and said, "Brother Lin, your children are really not simple!"
Lin Qingxiang was also shocked in his heart, his daughter had never been far away, let alone seen the prosperity of a big city, but the scene that Lin Zichen said just now seemed to be what she had witnessed with her own eyes.
Lin Qingxiang hid the shock in his heart, and said lightly: "Xiao Chen usually likes to read, I guess those scenes are all seen from books!"
Wang Wansan was still envious, "That kid in my family is in high school, if he had one-tenth of your daughter's love of reading, she wouldn't be at the bottom of every exam." ”
Lin Qingxiang smiled modestly, "Every child has different talents, and the children of Brother Wang's family don't like to read, and there is always something he likes." ”
was said by Lin Qingxiang, Wang Wansan sighed uncontrollably, "It's really right Brother Lin, that kid doesn't like to read and likes to draw, he only holds a pen and paints all day long, and he doesn't know what he's drawing. ”
Li Weiye shook his head disapprovingly when he heard this: "Brother Wang, what you said is not right, they all say that three hundred and sixty lines are the champion, maybe your kid can make money by painting!"
"Yes, Brother Wang, doesn't your kid don't like to read, then you can induce him to read." Li Weimao said with a wink.
Wang Wansan suddenly became interested, "How to induce?" ”
Li Weimao explained: "Isn't there a way to learn to draw in universities now? Then you tell your boy that you don't object to him painting, but he must be admitted to university, and say that you want him to be a literate painter. ”
Wang Wansan was dumbfounded when he heard this, "This, this is okay?" ”
"Why can't this work, the current kid is all strong-blooded, and he can't stand being provoked by people talking to him, you will definitely be able to persuade your son to study seriously if you come to provoke him." Li Weiye also agreed with Li Weimao's suggestion.
Seeing that everyone said this, Wang Wansan nodded and had a plan in his heart.
They said something else, until the smell of food came from the kitchen, and everyone got up to wash their hands and prepare for lunch.
Looking at the seven or eight clean plates on the table, Wang Wansan's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly to Li Bangguo and the others: "Your family's food is so delicious, you don't know it."
Li Bangguo waved his hand with laughter and said open-mindedly: "Don't say that, you are polite to us when you say that." But it's really not boasting, our family's green vegetables are notoriously delicious in the village, and there are no leftovers from every meal, so you don't have to be embarrassed. ”
When Wang Wansan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Listening to what you said, uncle, I really found that your vegetables are better than the organic vegetables sold in the big city." ”
"Hahaha, yes, if you like to eat, you can take some home, anyway, they are all home-grown, and there are many of them, but I'm afraid you will dislike them."
When Wang Wansan heard Li Bangguo say this, he was a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, I can't buy such a delicious dish, how can I dislike it." ”
"That's good, that's good." Li Bangguo smiled happily and asked his eldest daughter-in-law, Liang Xiaomei, to pick a few handfuls of vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Wang Wansan was worried about the oranges, and he didn't stop after lunch, and drove the truck away.
Counting the money in his hand, Li Weiye happily said to his family: "Oh, the first money for the New Year has finally been paid." ”
Li Yuedi glanced at Li Weiye with a sneer, "Look at your unproductive appearance, you haven't seen money in hundreds of lifetimes, right?" ”
was scolded by his mother, Li Weiye was not embarrassed at all, and said seriously: "Yes, I have never seen such a large amount of money earned by myself." ”
"Huh? Hahaha! Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, and the sound of happy laughter resounded throughout the Li family's ancestral home.
The 24th day of the lunar month is the day of removing the old and welcoming the new, on this day every family in the wind and village is busy, and the whole family is out to clean the house inside and outside to welcome the arrival of the new year.
It was cold, and people had breakfast much later than in the summer, and by the time the women had packed up the dishes and chopsticks, the sun had risen to the middle of the sky.
At this time, the Li family, except for Li Ge, has not returned home, and the other children who are studying outside have all returned to the New Year.
Li Yuedi had a headscarf around her head, and her face was also wrapped in a towel, "Wei Ye, Wei Mao, Qingxiang, how many of you will repair the pigsty, the roof, or something." Then he looked at Li Yu and Li Hua, "A few of you small ones will use hoes to communicate the water inside and outside the house, and our mothers will sweep the roof, wipe the furniture, wash the tables and chairs, and so on." ”
"Eh, got it." Everyone responded in unison, and they were busy.
"Second brother, third brother, give you gloves." Li Ji handed the gloves to Li Yu and Li Hua while wrapping his face with a towel.
Li Yu looked at Li Ji's fully armed appearance, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, "Are you a little overarmed?" ”
Li Ji raised his index finger and shook it at Li Yu, and said, "Nonono, you underestimate the power of the ditch too much, just don't regret not being fully armed later." ”
Entering the university, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to do farm work at home, and when Li Ji said this, Li Yu remembered that when the family was cleaning last year, they were dizzy from the smell of the smelly gutter. So, Li Yu didn't say a word, and began to arm his whole body.
The three brothers finished preparing and walked to the ditch in the backyard with their hoes.
Li Yuedi couldn't help but laugh and scold a few words when she saw Li Ji's strict appearance, "These boys, they haven't started working yet, they don't like it." ”
Ye Xiaoyu also said with a smile: "A few of them are fine, at least let them work without thinking about being lazy, and if they are the sons of other families in the village, who is willing to do this." ”
Speaking of her own children, Li Yuedi was full of pride, "Yes, our children are not lazy." ”
Liang Xiaomei smiled slightly, and said to Li Yuedi: "Mom, let's divide the labor of a few of us, we clean our own rooms, Mom, it doesn't matter if you are slow, there are three kitchens at home, and one of us is responsible for one." ”
Li Yuedi knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was sympathetic to her, so she agreed with Liang Xiaomei's arrangement.
Several people were also armed, and they were busy with their brooms with long handles.
Seeing that the family was busy, Lin Zixi tilted his head to look at Lin Zichen, "Sister, what are we doing?" ”
"Wash the table and chairs."
The roof of the house needs to be cleaned, the tables and chairs are cleaned, and the dust is also in vain, so you must first move the small pieces of furniture to the yard before you can clean them.
"Xiaoxi, you move the chair, and let my sister move other heavy objects." Lin Zichen reminded Lin Zixi while moving the wooden table out of the yard.
"Huh." Lin Zixi naturally knew that he couldn't do his best, and he picked the objects he could move.
Lin Qingxiang cleaned up the pigsty in the backyard, looked at the pigsty full of pig manure, and then looked at the cloth shoes on his feet, turned around and went back to the house.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Lin Zichen moving the largest wooden table in the hall outside, Lin Qingxiang hurriedly stepped forward to take it over, and blamed Lin Zichen in a low voice, "How can you move such a big table alone, what if you accidentally hurt yourself." ”
Lin Zichen touched his nose in a sneer, not daring to refute, her father was angry, but she could ignore her for many days, she was still obedient.
Lin Qingxiang moved all the large pieces of furniture in the hall to the outside of the courtyard, and brought several buckets of water to the sisters and brothers.
Wiping a handful of the empty sweat on his face, Lin Zichen stuck out his tongue at Lin Zixi.
Lin Zixi also winked at Lin Zichen and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The movements of the two were almost synchronized, and they were both stunned for a moment, and then laughed. R1152
