Chapter 24: In Christ (2)

24 in the Lord (2)

"Sister-in-law, what do you say my mother and brother and sister-in-law are talking about?" Xiuxiu and Qiaoqiao sat on the bench in front of the stove and asked Yang Liu.

"Maybe my mother saw something upset in the town today." Yang Liu replied casually while stir-frying: "Since they don't want us to know, don't worry about that." When they want to say it, they will naturally say, "It's useless for you to worry about it here." ”

Xiuxiu's feelings were a little low: "I know, I just feel that something is wrong, but I can't help." "For so many years, they have discussed everything behind their backs, can't they help at all?

Watching Xiuxiu like this, Yang Liu is like seeing himself more than ten years ago, although he and his mother walked out of the company gate proudly, but what next? There is still rent to pay, water and electricity to pay, his daughter to study, eat, and dress, he secretly saw his mother hugging and crying alone for a long time, but the next day he had to pretend to be okay and smile at himself. At that time, she wished that she could grow up all of a sudden, and she could help her mother make money all of a sudden, and then proudly said to her mother, "Mom, I made money, I will support you." Unfortunately, she was only seven years old at the time, and she couldn't do anything.

Growing up seems to be a sudden thing. She will do her best to do housework, study obediently and not cause trouble, do not pick food and clothing, and do not want toys. She can't make money, but she thinks that by saving a little bit herself, she can make her mother work a little less.

"You're a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, even if you know, what can you do to help? Is there something that can still let you stand in front of you, so what are your brothers doing, objects, furnishings? Yang Liu picked up the shredded potatoes and scooped a scoop of water into the pot, "Don't blame your sister-in-law for not listening to her words, as if she looks down on people." Sister-in-law doesn't mean anything else, look at me, it stands to reason that I am married in, and I am a member of your Li family, but when something happens, you still exclude me, and don't treat me as your own, can I not be angry? You are the Li family, they don't call you, it can only mean that they have a way, but some things are not good to say in front of you, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet. If they felt they could say it to you, they would. ”

Xiuxiu's eyes were shining: "Sister-in-law, really?" ”

"I can't lie to you, and it's no good?" Yang Liu also smiled, Xiuxiu is a simple person who can be content, and it is easy to enlighten, "Actually, it is not easy for my mother, if my father-in-law is still here, why should she worry about everything inside and out?" A turnip and a pit, everyone has to find their own place. As for you, just obediently wipe away your tears, what about you. Yang Liu turned to Qiaoqiao, who was listening seriously, and smiled, "Just go wash your hands, let's prepare for dinner." ”

Tie Zhu immediately volunteered: "I'll go and call grandma to eat." So saying, he ran to Ho's house.

"Set the table."

Dashan hesitated with shredded potatoes and asked, "Fifth aunt, is there not enough money at home?" In his heart, when the money is not enough, the family is in a bad mood.

"Making money to support your family is the business of adults, children don't have to worry about it, do what you have to do." Yang Liu blanched the stems of the fresh cabbage in boiling water, then submerged them all in the water, picked them up with chopsticks, put them on a plate, and poured chili oil mixed with minced garlic. He turned to Dashan and smiled: "For example, reading and literacy." Does Oyama want to read and write? ”

Dashan hesitated and shook his head: "I want to be a big businessman." "I heard that studying is very hard, and some people can't get into Xiucai after taking the exam for a lifetime. Now what this family lacks is money, not an official, and only by being a businessman can he make money, and he wants to have enough to eat.

Yang Liu tilted his head and continued to ask him: "Are you afraid of studying hard or do you feel that your family is poor and dare not study?" ”

Dashan's eyes flashed. Yang Liu said: "Whether it is a farmer or a businessman, they should be literate, do you think that if the farmer is also literate, will he be able to grow more grain as the agricultural book says?" If a merchant is illiterate, what should he do if he is blinded when he signs a contract? A thief can steal money and food, but the knowledge in your stomach cannot be stolen, this is the last thing that people live in a lifetime, knowledge plus experience. ”

No one has ever said such a thing to Dashan, what he heard the most was that he had read a book and become a champion, and he had never said that the croppers should also study. In the heart of the mountain, the farmer is facing the loess with his back to the sky, weeding, watering, and he can't imagine what it will be like to hold a book with one foot and a trouser leg and mud on his hand. He thought about his father, but he still couldn't imagine it. He looked at Yang Liu with some confusion.

Yang Liu also knew that these words might be a bit excessive, and no one had ever thought that the farmer should also be literate, and some concepts could not be changed all at once. Dashan is the most stable of these children, and she is very optimistic about him, but there is no need to rush it. She smiled and patted Dashan on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's eat first." ”

Dashan nodded obediently, and when the two of them crossed the threshold with the dishes and the other was still in the stove room, Dashan turned his head sideways and asked, "Fifth aunt, can you teach me to read?" ”

Yang Liu smiled, it seemed that Dashan understood what she meant, she just wanted to agree, but she remembered that she had never read the words of this era at all, for fear of misleading people's children. His eyes fell on the pouting dog, and he had an idea: "Dogan is a good brother, he has entered the school, and he is literate, he will definitely be able to teach his younger brother, right?" ”

The dog was still a little angry about what happened just now, and tilted his head: "The homework ordered by the master is very heavy, and I don't have time to teach him." ”

"It's simple, you show your brother the books you have learned, let him copy them first, if he doesn't understand something, remember it first, and tell him about it when you have free time, do you say okay?"

Dashan immediately looked at the dog expectantly, he knew that his mother and his second sister-in-law were a little incompatible, so the relationship between the two brothers was average. And since the dog went to private school, he has felt superior to others, and he doesn't like to play with the mountains, so the brotherly relationship is even weaker. But after listening to Yang Liu's words, Dashan really wanted to study now, for fear that the dog would refuse, so he pursed his lips and stared at the dog without blinking.

Seeing that Yang Liu and Dashan were looking at him with expectation, Goudan felt a little proud in his heart, and he straightened his chest arrogantly: "Okay, but if Dashan is too stupid, I won't teach." "Mr. Swing's shelf is really good.

"Thank you, Brother Lobby, I will work hard to learn." Daisen excitedly assured loudly.

"Our dog is now a little master Li who can teach disciples." Yang Liu patted the fart slightly. Dogan immediately put his hands behind his back, snorted with his head held high, and crossed the threshold.

Sure enough, it was a child, and Yang Liu couldn't help but be happy.
