Chapter 536: Charity?
In fact, a thousand did you find it? Although Haobei has never gone to school for a day, he not only knows Chinese characters, but also knows numbers, and even likes to use idioms when he usually speaks? Xiaoyu said.
I recalled it carefully, indeed, if it was according to Xiaoyu, then Chen Haobei would not have had the opportunity to go to school at all, but I think not only me, but all the people who have been in contact with Chen Haobei will not find this.
Because he really likes to jump out of the idiom from time to time when he speaks, which is nothing if it is placed on other people, but it is a little rare to put it on a person who has never studied for a day.
"This is also what I noticed later, Haobei is really quite powerful, hehe." Xiao Yu said a little teasingly.
I shrugged my shoulders and didn't speak, in fact, what I wanted to say in my heart was: Of course Haobei is strong, even you didn't trap him, can he not be strong?
But if you say that, wouldn't it be from the side... Isn't my brain as good as Chen Haobei?
Alas, suddenly a little frustrated...
Xiao Yu seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and he suddenly said: "Okay, don't think about it, hehe, you and Haobei are completely different life trajectories, and there is no comparison." For those of you outside, twelve or thirteen years old is the age when a person's learning ability is the strongest, at that time you are learning the knowledge in the books in school, and what Haobei is learning is how to survive in this cruel society, and your test results are also good at that time, right? So you two are tied. If so... It's no wonder that two of you with completely different personalities can become friends, this is fate and fate. β
Xiaoyu's words did make me feel a little more comfortable, and after sorting it out, I said: "Yes, it's just that the lifestyle is different, in the years when he endured hardships, in fact, my life was not much better?" By the way, the Mei sisters... Forget it, don't ask, I can't stand listening to the story of Haobei, Mei family..."
"In fact, the story of the Mei sisters is not as exciting as Haobei."
Xiaoyu took my words and continued: "It's okay to tell you about it, the Mei family has three sons, the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third brother. Like many traditional families outside, Mei's parents also have a very serious patriarchal mentality. In fact, when the two sisters finished junior high school, the family didn't let them go to school, and wanted them to go south to work and make money for their younger brother, after all, the younger brother will need money to get married in the future, and he will need money for life, and his brother's future wife and children will also need to spend money...
However, the two sisters were very competitive, and their academic performance was very good, and the teacher and principal at that time were reluctant to let them go, and it took a lot of effort to finally persuade their parents to agree to let the two children continue to go to school.
But after the sisters graduated from high school, the family no longer agreed to let them go down, and the family had already found a good in-law for them. Of course, the picture is the bride price given by others.
Fortunately, the sisters have read for a few more years and have their own independent thoughts. After making trouble with the family countless times, everyone finally made an agreement, that is: the two sisters can not marry the two bachelors, but they must earn the money that the third brother needs to get married and spend for the rest of his life, otherwise he will be arranged by the family.
"You know what happened later, the two sisters first left their hometown, left the harassment of their families and the two singles, and then worked hard to make money. Just like these two girls, how much money do parents force them to make? A house in my hometown, a car, a set of gold jewelry, and a certain weight of cash, this alone is a lot of money.
In fact, in the matter of getting married, the sum of this money is much higher than their local average, but rural people love to compare in this kind of thing, and his parents are no exception, but they have no ability to make money, so they desperately squeeze the two girls.
"Then, that's the story of the two sisters, simple, right? Then again, to this day, the two sisters have not earned enough money to satisfy their parents. β
I was stunned for a moment before I said, "Indeed... It's really not as exciting as Haobei's story, it's quite clichΓ©, and such things abound in my hometown, and the plot is basically exactly the same. β
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, such tragic families abound. β
Although what I said was plain, to be honest, after learning that the Mei sisters' past was also such a misfortune, I really didn't feel good in my heart.
I even feel like I can see the past of both of them.
Two girls who study hard, desperately want to change their fate through reading, confront the family, and the secular concept, in that environment, if there are relatives in their family, the relatives must also be towards their parents, which also needs to be fought against the two of them, they desperately fought against all this, just to change their original destiny that was destined at birth.
Did the two sisters succeed? I don't know, but I do know that if the two sisters join them, they will definitely be able to meet the sisters' needs financially.
But I know very well the mentality of the two sisters' parents, no matter how satisfied they are, they will only be satisfied for a while. Once they find out that their daughter really has enough financial ability, then they will keep asking for it, and keep squeezing it until they die.
Maybe it was because he died of old age, or maybe his daughter died early because he was overwhelmed, in short, this is a never-ending "filial piety".
You must not resist, if you resist, you will be pointed out by the thousands of people in the village and defined as "unfilial".
If a man is defined as unfilial, most of the time he will only have this bad name at best. But if girls are defined as unfilial, in rural areas, what is often followed by girls is "chaotic relationships between men and women, dirty private lives" and other fabricated evaluations out of thin air.
And most of them say that they have noses and eyes, and they can't wait to be satisfied with reducing girls to nothing from this self-righteous moral aspect.
As for the logical relationship between filial piety and the clean relationship between men and women, no one knows, and no one cares, as long as the villagers are happy.
Degrading others like this can at least allow you to find a trace of inexplicable superiority, which is enough, and the goal is achieved.
After pondering for a while, I suddenly found a problem, if you want to follow what Xiaoyu said, then those of us who were chosen by them, in addition to being children, seem to have something in common in terms of family relationships.
Thinking of this, I asked, "So, Xiaoyu, do you all choose people like us when you choose people with bad family relationships?" Is this mandatory? β
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, it's very smart." I then asked, "Why did you choose that?" β
Xiao Yuyi shrugged her shoulders and replied: "You should be a charity that cares for lonely children like you, hehe, give you money, and give you a warm home, we are cute, right?" β
