Chapter 50: Future Brother-in-law
The small flame of hope in the eyes of the four pillars gradually dimmed, and the people gradually fell silent, and even the food was less.
Qingbao saw all this, and at night, he opened the money box and sewed a schoolbag for Sizhu in one night.
The next day, Qingbao took advantage of the fact that the family was having breakfast, and put ten taels of silver and schoolbag in front of Sizhu: "Fourth brother, you go to study, I will give you money, go to the study school in Yueyue, you two are also companions, let my father send it to you today." ”
Sizhu's eyes lit up with a brush, Qingbao sat opposite him, and saw very clearly that his eyes were like the TV display screen was turned on, and his eyes didn't need to blink, and the screen was full of color.
Huang Liuniang probably didn't expect Qingbao to make such a move, put the chopsticks down, and said to Sizhu: "You go to study, you can't do the work at home, but your brothers are still working every day, and my mother has a bowl of water, so I have to deduct your money." You don't have any money now, but I will remember this account for you, and in the future, your brothers will each become a family, and when the family is separated, I will have to deduct this salary, and then you don't complain about your mother's unfairness. ”
Sizhu said without hesitation: "Okay, buckle it." I'm going to read anyway. ”
Huang Liuniang slapped the table and set the price: "I will deduct you twenty wen a day, isn't it much?" You're going to make candy at home, and you're going to make a lot more money than that. ”
Sizhu nodded resolutely.
"Then you can go if you like to go, anyway, my mother is still the same sentence, I don't want you to study, Liuya is willing to give you this money, you will be admitted to the champion in the future, and you will remember Liuya's good, don't remember your mother's good."
Seeing that Huang Liuniang agreed to let herself study, Sizhu was already crazy with joy holding her schoolbag and silver.
He was happy here, but Sanzhu suddenly said: "Mother, I also want to study!" ”
His words scared everyone like an earth-shattering shock.
Sizhu said that he wanted to study, and everyone was not surprised, because he talked about it every day, and everyone in the family knew about it for a long time, but Sanzhu was silent and never showed his heart, so everyone didn't know that he still had this idea hidden in his heart.
As soon as Huang Liuniang reacted, she immediately shouted: "No, what are you making a fuss about?" Hurry up and boil me sugar at home! ”
Sanzhu's eyes stared at Huang Liuniang, stubbornly looking at Huang Liuniang, and did not flinch: "Mother, I also want to study!" I like to read, I don't like to boil sugar! ”
What he said, not fast, word by word is very clear,
But it was this unhurried pace that showed his stronger determination.
To be honest, in this family, Sanzhu is the one who is most easily overlooked.
The eldest child and the youngest child are the most liked by their parents, while the middle ones are often not valued. Even Qingbao didn't care too much about this third brother.
Huang Liuniang saw that Sanzhu dared to confront her, she couldn't help but be angry and angry, and opened her mouth to scold: "Read, read, what are you reading?" The example of your fifth uncle's loss is right in front of you, and you are still stepping down that underworld. You're all older, aren't you? One or two are disobedient, and I, the mother, can't control you, right? Get out, you all get out of here, just like I raised a bunch of white-eyed wolves! Your sister has grown up, she doesn't want a mother, you have grown up, you don't want a mother anymore, right......" Huang Liuniang thought about the eldest daughter who went out again, and for a while, the tears couldn't hold back anymore and rolled down.
Sanzhu saw that his mother was crying, and hurried over to comfort Huang Liuniang: "Mother, I'm not a white-eyed wolf, you will be my mother at all times." ”
Huang Liuniang pushed him hard, pushed him aside, and roared angrily: "Get out of the way, you little white-eyed wolves, you are old, I can expect you to do some work and make some money, I didn't expect you to read that broken book one by two......"
Sanzhu was almost pushed by Huang Liuniang, but after he stood up, he still rushed to Huang Liuniang, pulled Huang Liuniang's clothes and said, "Mother, just let me go, it's a big deal, you will also deduct my salary." When I become an official in the future, mother, I will pull an ingots the size of a house to honor you! ”
Huang Liuniang listened to his exaggeration, and the cry couldn't help but be quieter, and she choked up and said: "Mother is not rare such a big ingot, Mother wants you to earn more money, marry a good daughter-in-law as soon as possible and start a family, and the task of Mother's life will be completed." Sanzhu, listen to my mother, don't go to school, boil sugar at home, ah? ”
Sanzhu shook his head very resolutely: "Mother, I don't make sugar, I want to be an official." ”
Huang Liuniang saw that her son wanted to be blind, and she also resolutely put down the sentence "You are ten years old, it's too late to study, I won't agree", and actually withdrew.
Qing Bao was beside him, witnessing the scene of Sanzhu facing difficulties and coaxing and persuading Huang Liuniang, and his heart moved slightly.
Sanzhu is a thoughtful person, which can be seen from the fact that he has the mind to read but even hides it from his family. And he is not afraid of difficulties and can endure hardships, such a person, if he can become an official, he will definitely go far in the officialdom.
But there is one thing, if this kind of person is too eager for quick success, it is easy to go astray, and if he is not careful, it will bring about the disaster of extermination.
In the end, is it better to let him go to school, or to boil sugar at home?
Qing Bao thought about it repeatedly in his heart.
Huang Liuniang left, leaving four pillars, Qingbao and Xia Shouping.
Sizhu glanced at Sanzhu, secretly picked up his schoolbag, picked up the silver, and dragged Xia Shouping out.
You don't have to think about it to know that the four pillars whose wishes have come true can't wait to go to the school.
Sanzhu also turned his hopeful eyes to Qingbao, and Qingbao smiled helplessly: "I've only been dividing the silver for a few days, it's good to be able to take out ten taels." "In fact, Qingbao has already divided more than a dozen taels, but twenty taels is not enough.
Sanzhu didn't say anything more, just sat down slowly with a calm face, and actually began to eat his unfinished meal again.
Isn't he sad?
My brother went to school, and he couldn't go, so he had to be sad, right?
Erzhu patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him: "Sanzhu, let's go with my mother for wages, let's save money together, and we will soon be able to save enough money for school." ”
Sanzhu was not too discouraged, and said while eating: "Well, I think the same way, slowly save money, and go to study when you have money." ”
Qingbao regretted it a little at this time, if he didn't let Sizhu go to the famous teacher to study, his little silver would be average, and he should be able to make do with the two of them to find an ordinary master.
Qing Bao looked at Sanzhu, whose face was fine, but his eyes were extremely resolute, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
In the previous life, ten-year-old children knew that they wanted good-looking clothes, good-looking schoolbags, good-looking stationery, and they were carefree, but in front of them, this ten-year-old boy had two small flames jumping in his eyes, and he already wanted to fight for his ideals.
couldn't bear to watch a child's hopes dashed, Qingbao got up and went to Huang Liuniang's room.
Huang Liuniang was cutting the paper wrapped in candy, and the scissors cut through a thick stack of oiled paper, which creaked.
Qingbao walked over, and while helping her put away the oil paper, she said, "Mother, why don't you let the third brother read it?" If you read well, it is his creation, and if you don't read well, he won't complain about you in this life. ”
Huang Liuniang didn't raise her head, and coldly threw out a sentence: "You don't have to intercede, there is no door for this matter." Your fifth uncle is a living example, after reading for more than ten years, what did he get except a few hundred taels of silver for nothing? If it weren't for your fifth uncle dragging down the whole family, your uncle's family, your fourth uncle's family, and our family, they wouldn't have been so poor. And how many uncles do you have, which one hasn't read? In addition to being in vain, is there anyone who has been admitted to Xiucai? ”
To be honest, Qingbao still doesn't quite understand the examination system of this society, and she doesn't understand how difficult it is for a scholar to get ahead, she just thinks that the child has this ideal, so she let him realize this dream and save regrets for life.
Therefore, she still spared no effort to persuade Huang Liuniang, but unfortunately no matter what she said, Huang Liuniang did not agree.
In the end, Huang Liuniang's tough attitude made Qingbao angry, afraid of quarreling with Huang Liuniang again, she forced her anger out.
Back in the room, Qing Bao counted his silver, and there were five and a half halves, even if he sent Sanzhu to the cheapest Jin Fuzi, it was still two and a half less, Qing Bao regretted that he usually spent money lavishly, and at the same time, he tried to find a way to make up the money.
Qingbao wants to come and go, there are not many people he knows here, only the Huang family can barely borrow money, Huang Grandma is rich, but Qingbao doesn't want to borrow the old man's pension money, Uncle Huang doesn't count on it, otherwise, borrow some from Uncle Huang. Second Uncle Huang has a good temper and is very close to his niece, so he may be able to borrow it.
Just do it when you think of it, Qingbao changed her clothes to go out, freshened up and dressed up, told Erzhu, and went out.
The house where Qingbao's family lives now, at the request of Grandma Huang, is not too far from the Huang family, only three streets away.
Qingbao has walked this road countless times, even if you touch it, you can reach it.......................................
Because he was thinking about borrowing money, Qingbao didn't look too carefully ahead when he walked, and it didn't take long for him to bump into someone.
The mood has something to say: Okay, the hard days are over, and the good days are coming. Originally, this chapter was going to grow up a little bit.,As a result, I forgot about Sizhu's school.。
Alas, life always has to go through helplessness and frustration, how can there be smooth sailing in a poor life? Here's wishing a pig a happy birthday, congratulations on being a year older, and one step closer to Uncle Cheng. (*^__^*)……...................................
