At four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Cuixiang should have gotten up to sell vegetables, but today she slept and slept until seven o'clock in the morning.

The youngest daughter Xu Tao got up and was about to go to the vegetable market, when she just pushed open the door and heard Zhang Cuixiang's voice.

"Peaches, you don't have to cook today, my mother will give you ten yuan to buy three servings of soy milk outside, weighing one pound of fritters."

"Ugh." Xu Tao did whatever Zhang Cuixiang ordered, although she was curious, she still obediently took the money to buy food.

Xu Lin was going to school in the morning, and Xu Tao walked on his front foot and got up on his back foot.

Seeing Zhang Cuixiang sitting comfortably in the hall and watching the sky, he was a little dissatisfied, and his tone came out: "Mother, why didn't you go to sell vegetables?" ”

Zhang Cuixiang glanced at him, and immediately changed to a warm smile: "Didn't my mother think that she would make less money selling vegetables and want to make a living?" My second son is going to be a big official in the future, and my mother has to save enough money for you to marry a daughter-in-law. By selling vegetables, the money earned is only enough for your eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Xu Lin has always been selfish, he worries about the family's income, not about filial piety to Zhang Cuixiang, afraid that she will be tired. It's about calculating how much money the family makes, how much is his, and how much each time he spends so as not to suffer.

Hearing Zhang Cuixiang's explanation, his face was a little better, but he still said, "What business are you going to change?" You can't just do nothing these days. ”

Zhang Cuixiang said: "My mother has inquired about the market in the past few days, and she doesn't cook anymore, so she asks you to go to the restaurant every day." My second son has really worked hard to go to school, and he has lost weight. ”

He looked at him with unusually pity.

While talking, Xu Tao came back from shopping, Xu Lin looked at the fritters and nodded with satisfaction, and took half of it and put it in his bowl as usual.

The other half is naturally left to Xu Sen. If there is something delicious that is not left for Xu Sen, then if you know it, you will beat people. What's more, Zhang Cuixiang has a deep love for her two sons, and would rather not eat it herself than leave it to her two sons.

But today, when Xu Lin was clamping with chopsticks, Zhang Cuixiang hit him with chopsticks.

Xu Lin was about to get angry all of a sudden.

Zhang Cuixiang said kindly: "Don't be angry, son, my mother recently heard that the university entrance examination also depends on a person's morality, what is it called political trial." Even though you're only in your first year of high school, you're ready now. We don't know which one of the broken mouths said that the mother was eccentric, and said that you two brothers watched in vain.

This can't be done, how can my mother let my son's reputation be ruined? There is a scholar in my grandmother's house because there is an unfilial father in the village, saying that he doesn't care about it as a scholar, and directly takes back his fame. You have to be nice to your sister outside in the future, otherwise what if someone finds out and delays your college entrance examination? ”

Then he sandwiched a few fritters to Xu Tao and reprimanded: "Hurry up and eat, you see that you are thin, you eat the same meal as your brother all day long, and you are so thin, no wonder others say that I treat you harshly." It's really special to come to me, hurry up and eat! ”

Xu Tao is usually used to being scolded by this kind of words, and develops the skill of entering the left ear and exiting the right ear. When he heard that he didn't care about anything to eat, he happily agreed and took a big gulp.

Zhang Cuixiang divided the fritters into three more parts and gave them to Xu Lin and Xu Tao.

Xu Lin's grades were not good, and he thought about the university entrance examination, and he would talk about it when the time came. So I don't know anything about the university entrance examination, and I usually need nutrition and information to make up a blind college entrance examination, and I keep paying money from Zhang Cuixiang.

Zhang Cuixiang's words really frightened him, and he thought about whether he was heard by someone when he called Xu Tao a dead girl outside.

When I think of this, I feel a little angry. He was a high school student, and it was unreasonable for those who couldn't read a single word to laugh at him because he didn't love his sisters.

He took the initiative to clip a fritter for Xu Tao, and said softly: "Eat peaches." ”

Xu Tao had never been treated so gently by Xu Lin, and was a little flattered for a while.

Zhang Cuixiang smiled with relief and said, "Look at how sensible my second son is, and he also took the initiative to give peach fritters to eat." Which family of children can be like my second son, looking at that group of people with bad hearts, how to arrange our family! Our children are very filial! There is no one who understands brotherhood and brotherhood better than our family! ”

Zhang Cuixiang's voice was very high, and she said proudly, and she must make the people around her hear the posture, Xu Lin was proud in his heart when he heard it, and his attitude became more and more modest, and he gave Xu Tao another clip.

Xu Tao happily ate the fritters, thinking to herself that the second brother is usually the most protective of food, but today his brain is broken?

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Zhang Cuixiang proposed one more thing: "Second child, what do you think about letting Peaches go to school?" ”

Xu Tao immediately raised his head when he heard this, and pleaded with Xu Lin on his face.

Xu Lin said with a smile: "It's enough for Peach to have a primary school education, which family is still going to school around her who is so old?" What's more, it's not easy for you to make money every day, usually I don't even dare to buy snacks at school, so I want to reduce the burden on you. Peaches, what do you say? ”

Xu Tao lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.

How could Zhang Cuixiang not know Xu Lin's plans, Xu Lin believed that he was a high school student and the most educated person in the family, so he put himself first. He is the only one in the family who goes to school, and he can't wear new clothes for the New Year. One more, what will he do with his tuition?

Zhang Cuixiang took Xu Lin's hand and said, "Mother thinks so, my second son studies so well, Xu Tao and your mother must be no different." Peach became a college student, and there are two college students in our family.

First, your eldest brother is good at marrying a daughter-in-law. Second, you have a younger sister who is also a college student, and when you get to the unit in the future, the leader can look down on you. Again, if you marry a daughter-in-law with a good family background in the future, you don't have to bow your head in front of your daughter-in-law in the future. We are a family of intellectuals!

And wow, Peaches has become a college student, and the bride price will be at least tenfold in the future, and you can also get rid of it, right? ”

The last words Zhang Cuixiang leaned into Xu Lin's ear and said.

Xu Lin was naturally satisfied when he heard it. "But the money?"

I don't have any money at home.

"Mother is going to take out your brother's money for marrying a daughter-in-law, and buy you a few new clothes first. Take out another part and let Peaches go to school. ”

Xu Lin is willing to buy new clothes, but Xu Sen's bullish temper, will he turn the sky upside down when he knows it?

"Only the three of us know, don't tell the boss."

Xu Tao was very happy when she heard that she could go to school, and nodded fiercely: "Mother, I must not tell my eldest brother." ”

Zhang Cuixiang nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin nodded: "I won't say it either." ”

Xu Lin went to school with his schoolbag, Xu Tao diligently brushed the dishes and swept the floor, served tea and poured water very attentively, afraid that the morning was a dream, and kept asking Zhang Cuixiang if she let her go to school.

Zhang Cuixiang said yes with a smile, and Xu Tao happily ran all over the yard.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was okay, Zhang Cuixiang boiled water to take a bath, and after washing, she boiled a pot of water and called Xu Tao back to wash.
