Chapter 20 The abacus in Dong Xiucai's heart

Because the husband and wife both had this thought in their hearts, plus their family was really not rich, and there were a few small ones waiting for him to raise, he listened to his wife's opinion with a clear conscience.

carried the second child on his back and wiped out the debts of the eldest one.

In addition, as parents, sometimes they often want to find a balance and hope that their children and grandchildren will live well.

Those who have the ability to suffer a little loss, and help their incapable brothers and sisters more.

So he's always felt like he's partial.

Although the eldest son is now the village chief of Dongjia Village, he really has no other skills except for some farm work, and he is relatively wooden and has poor communication skills.

In Dong Xiucai's heart, he knew that his son's position as village chief would not last long.

Although the third son is also a capable person and married a young lady from Buzhuang, the position of the shopkeeper looks good, but in fact, he is still subject to the Yue family.

Only his second son seems to be just a big steward of Shuijiazhuang, but in fact, the owner of Shuizhuang, this Zhuangzi, earns so much money, relying on his own son.

Outsiders can see that without Dong Changhe, Shuijiazhuang would not be so prosperous.

Even if his son doesn't work in Shuijiazhuang, with his ability, it won't be hard to earn more silver.

When the old mother Gu was alive, she taught her all her skills to the second child.

Dong Xiucai's mother is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, her mother died very early, and the younger brothers below were all young at that time.

Her father is a bastard, he lost all the family business, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and her mother learned to take care of the family business when she was very young, and supported the Gu family to keep some land and property, and her skills are not comparable to ordinary men.

If it weren't for her shrewdness and ability, her father would not have been able to keep his last dignity and die a good death.

Therefore, in Dong Xiucai's heart, to regain the glory of the lintel, it depends on his youngest son Dong Changhai, who is still studying. But if you want your children and grandchildren to live well, you have to rely on the help of this second son, Dong Changhe, who has been weak since he was a child.

These are all facts that Dong Xiucai slowly saw clearly after separating his two sons.

Dong Xiucai's appearance is indeed fierce, but his heart has a soft and delicate side, but no one can understand it except his wife.

One of his wife's calculations is a visible benefit, and even his wife may not be able to understand the calculations in his heart.

Seeing that his son's reputation was about to stink, how could Dong Xiucai watch it alone, and this is what he is doing today.

It's just that he has a lot of calculations in his heart, and when he sees his granddaughter like this, those calculations will all stand aside.

Although the granddaughter is young, her speech is clear and reasonable.

In the past, because he was a granddaughter, he didn't pay much attention, but now it seems that he cares too little.

You must know that a qualified housewife brings benefits to the family is not half a star.

This granddaughter is also a good-looking woman, and now she can't see anything, if she is twenty-eight years old, she will grow into a peerless woman.

If he marries with a big family in the future, the benefits to the Dong family are immeasurable.

He understands this truth, and the heads of those big families will also understand it.

Thinking of this, Dong Xiucai couldn't sit still anymore, and said to the little granddaughter who was staring at him: "You stay at home first, and grandfather will go to your uncle's house to have a look." Later, if you have a grievance, tell your grandfather, and your grandfather will make decisions for you. ”

Xue'er didn't know Dong Xiucai's thoughts, and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you, grandpa, it's just that Xue'er is not aggrieved." ”

If you want to say that Dong Xiucai has calculations, but there are also people who really like this granddaughter, but only he knows what the proportion is.

Sending the cheap grandpa out of the door, Cher didn't think much about it.

In her previous life, she was a master who liked to solve problems by herself, and she didn't have much hope for Dong Xiucai, who had left, after all, she had already broken up, and no matter how Dong Xiucai was, it was impossible for her to stare at her son's house every day.

Therefore, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on oneself.

She quickly unwrapped the futon she had covered, took off the pillowcase, rolled up the linen strips that had been replaced, put them in a wooden basin, locked the door and took them to the river to wash, and put the sheep together by the way.

In fact, Xue'er didn't quite understand why Dong Changhe's family was one of the richest families in Dongjia Village, but the Yun family was reluctant to even eat a piece of meat for herself and her children?

Not to mention the wages that Dong Changhe gets back every year, just those who bribed him privately in order to curry favor with Dong Changhe, and the silver given to him added up to Dong Changhe's wages.

The Dong family is not short of silver, but the Yun family often cries poor in front of her relatives, and she rarely spends silver except for the necessary clothes for the husband and wife.

She is like a Pixiu who only enters and can't leave, and they all say that she should be low-key, but the Yun family is inevitably a little bit of a soldier.

The family's blue brick house has only been built for a few years, and it is still new, and there is no need to save money to build a house.

In addition, the Dong family's more than ten acres of land, in addition to planting millet and sorghum, there are five acres of paddy fields, which can be used to grow rice.

Cherry and peach groves are interspersed with a large number of beans every year, such as soybeans, red beans and mung beans.

So the Dong family doesn't need to spend money to buy food to eat.

Yun is also a capable person, she can put silkworms when she lays the cover, she can grow ramie when she wears it, and she can weave and dye cloth by herself. So she doesn't have to buy it for covering and wearing.

is such a family, who can raise her only daughter to be skinny, and Xue'er is also drunk.

She's a miser herself, and now she's met a Grandet! More than she used to be.

Xue'er discovers that Yun is the kind of person who loses watermelons and picks up sesame seeds.

In Dong Xue'er's memory, the cotton clothes she wears every winter are worn by the Yun family and made smaller.

The silk in it has been knotted, piled up with a pimple after a pimple, some places are not thick, and some places are thin.

Dong Xueer will get one or two wind chills every winter, to put it bluntly, on the one hand, she has a loss of physique and her resistance is not good, and on the other hand, she is frozen and does not keep warm.

Changhai County has several heavy snowfalls every winter, and the snow is the thickest, and Dong Xue'er's impression is that it has not passed the waist of the Yun family.

In such an environment, people will freeze to death if they don't wear warmth.

Every time Dong Xue'er got a cold, the Yun family was in a hurry, and it was absolutely unambiguous to ask a doctor for medicine.

Xue'er wondered, with the money spent on treatment, why can't she make a thick winter coat for Dong Xue'er?

Is it true that the ancients were diligent and thrifty, and it has become a habit? Or is it just that the Yun family can live?

Xue'er, who couldn't figure it out, thumped the mallet in her hand, thinking about how to change Yun's concept little by little.
