After the family was separated, they each ate their own, and no one nagged Kou Xi to be used to children. Even if Kou Xi gave the two children dragon liver and phoenix gall, no one cared about it, and Kou Xi simply changed his tricks to cook food for the children as long as he had time.

Although Kou Dewang helps sell goods when he is at home, he spends most of his time going back and forth between his home and the spicy noodle factory, and sometimes he has to go to the city to pick up the goods.

"Girl, someone came to buy this house with me today. Kou Xi led Niuniu out of the bus station, and the two of them happily entered the store. Kou Dewang asked Niu Niu to take the toy clothes that Kou Xi bought next door, and then told Kou Xi about it.

"Whose house did you buy?'s house or mine?" Kou Xi couldn't help but be curious: "Is it from our village?"

"From the grain depot, that man looks at our shop is quite prosperous. Said he wanted to open a restaurant here!" Kou Dewang said happily: "The money given is quite high, and it is mine." You don't have anything at the door, what people want is to open a gate on the side, and there are many people next to the market. ”

Kou Xi asked in a low voice, "What did my second uncle and aunt say over there, they are doing it now, can you agree?"

Kou Dewang also lowered his voice: "Since people sincerely want to buy, they must have inquired before." Knowing that I'm two brothers working together, he has to come to me, who can call the shots. ”

"Then you want to sell it?" Kou Xi raised his eyebrows: "I guess I can't be too happy with the second uncle." ”

"That's what I'm talking about, this small store can't make a lot of money. I don't have time to look at this store, to put it mildly, the money earned here in a year is not as good as the income of a month in the spicy strips. Kou Dewang frowned: "The factory over there employs six people, and the salary alone is more than 1,000 yuan a month. If you save this money and let your second uncle and aunt do it, wouldn't it be cost-effective?"

"Can Hongyu let the second uncle and aunt go over? When we were chatting, we said that it was a good thing for the family to do it together in the early stage of this business, and it was really not a good thing after a long time. If you say anything to me, someone has to object to whatever you want to do. It's really not good in decision-making!" Fortunately, Kou Hongyu and Kou Dewang can communicate well when they have different opinions. It's no better than being with parents and children, and he loses his temper and roars at every turn. Although there is no overnight feud, it still hurts feelings after all.

"Dad, let's do it!" Kou Xi thought for a while: "You sell that house, and the store will be moved to my side." ”

"Then what do you mean......" Kou Dewang frowned: "Why are you going? You don't have this shop? Isn't the cooked food selling very well?"

Today I took Niu Niu to the Children's Palace, and you know what the children in the city are doing? Those who learn piano, dance, paint, Go, and even Allegro, and I actually see people playing model airplanes. Tell me what educational advantages we have?" Kou Xi walked around the Children's Palace, wanting to inquire where to teach skating. Unexpectedly, after asking around, he only inquired about an amateur sports school, and there was nothing else besides it, Kou Xi led Niu Niu around the Children's Palace. This lap made her determined to take her two children into the city. Open up a broader world and give yourself and your children a better life.

"It's good that our rural children can go to college, what else do you want to do?" Kou Dewang was actually angry: "Do you know what the situation is now? It is very difficult for you to support two children by yourself, and if you don't have these relatives to take care of you, you won't even be able to go to class." Do you still want to take your child to the city? I ask you, where do you live? What are you going to do? Who are you going to throw your child to? You go to the city to raise Niu Niu, do you know how much it costs?"

"But Niu Niu is very talented!" Kou Xi said regretfully: "I really can't bear it, such a good seedling is wasted." ”

"There are good seedlings, but you don't see others. I think Niu Niu is quite ordinary, and it's good that someone can take care of him with his background. How much effort do you expect to spend on raising him? I ask you, are you still going to get married? Are you going to spend the rest of your life with your two children?"

Kou Dewang's words made Kou Xi not sleep well at night, thinking about these things over and over again.

"Mom!" a soft voice sounded in the darkness.

"Niuniu, aren't you sleeping yet?, do you want to go to the toilet?" Kou Xi pulled the lamp rope, and Niuniu covered his eyes to avoid the dazzling light.

"I don't want to pee!" Niu Niu whispered, "Then what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, don't send me to ice skating. I don't want to skate!" Niu Niu whispered: "It's expensive to go to school in the city, it's expensive, it's expensive, it's expensive,

"What do you want to say?" Kou Xi leaned on the pillow and looked at Niu Niu, reaching out and rubbing Niu Niu's hair: "Did you hear something?"

"Grandpa is right, how can you feed the two of us alone. Otherwise, don't let me go to school, I'll work for you at home, okay? I look at my sister, I can still make milk powder for my sister, I can use the stove to give you hot meals. ”

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Kou Xi knows that it is forced by life. In her last life, she was very touched by this, and at first she always couldn't figure out why rich people love their children so much, why rich people always spoil their children, understand their children, and have such a good temper with them. Later, I slowly discovered that it was not that the poor did not love their children, but that they did not have that condition.

The mood of parents who love their children has nothing to do with money, but poor parents have to devote part of their energy to survival. Worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, they are under a lot of pressure in their hearts, and they can't share more emotions to understand their children.

The mothers of rich families don't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil, salt, they have luxurious jewelry, and nannies like Kou Xi do laundry and cooking. They have a lot of time to chase their dreams and more time to educate their children. They know what adolescence is, what rebellion is, what self-esteem is, what ideals are.

It is said that people are poor and short-minded, who dares to say that they want face and no money in the face of survival?

"You don't understand, children in the city just have one more way out than children in the countryside. Just work hard and don't think about anything else. I can support you, don't worry, I will never give up. The future of you and your sister is more important than anything else!" Kou Xi took Niu Niu's hand and said firmly: "Child, you just need to understand. All I can do for you is my own efforts, and the end result is your own efforts. Don't let me live up to my expectations of you, give me a fight, and let those who look down on our mother and son see what a wonderful boy you are!"
