Chapter 7: Methods (New Books for Recommendations, Collections)
"What nonsense."
"Bah......" Grandpa Jiang turned his head and smacked twice on the ground.
After washing the towel, wring it out again, and then put it on Grandma Jiang's face, and scrub it again, he knew that Grandma Jiang loved to be clean, even if she couldn't move, she had to be clean.
"If I have a bite to eat, I won't leave you behind." Grandpa Jiang rubbed it little by little and said slowly.
Grandma Jiang closed her eyes, still gently wiped her face from Grandpa Jiang, and said sullenly.
"You know, I'm not talking about the reason for eating, I take so much medicine every day and spend so much money, just for me, a waste person lying in bed, it's not worth ......"
"It's worth it! Why isn't it worth it? You live well, it's worth it more than anything else! ”
Grandpa Jiang put down the wet towel, held Grandma Jiang's hand, looked at her shining eyes in the light and said.
The two pairs of wrinkled eyes looked at each other, looking straight into each other's hearts, both of them had each other in their eyes, even if they had become gray-haired and full of messes, they lived up to their original integrity, but they were still the most beautiful person in each other's hearts.
"Okay, let's not talk about that."
Grandma Jiang blinked, her face was a little hot, the corners of her eyes were shining, and she changed the topic.
"What should I do then?"
Grandpa Jiang was silent for a while, he lowered his head, let go of Grandma Jiang's hand, put the towel back in the basin, and scrubbed it little by little, his mouth was like a grinding plate, grinding back and forth, but he didn't say anything.
The family borrowed a lot of money for treatment because his wife was paralyzed by a stroke that year, and the money was not repaid, and he broke his leg again, even if he didn't want to treat it, it cost a lot of money.
Ordinary people can collapse if they are sick once.
What's more, their home, as if possessed by the god of mildew, fell one after another, and the home is now surrounded by four walls, with empty sleeves.
My son works outside all year round to pay off the money, and one job is not enough, so he works two jobs and only goes home for two days during the Chinese New Year.
And the daughter-in-law, after giving birth to Jiang Chuan, only recuperated for a year, and then hurriedly went out to work, just to earn a little more money.
But with such a continuous part-time job to repay the money, their family still owes others a lot of money, and now even Jiang Xiao's money for studying, because he owes too much, no one is willing to borrow it at all.
Grandma Jiang looked at Grandpa Jiang's appearance, she knew that her wife's embarrassment was not only because of Jiang Xiao's money for studying, but also because if Jiang Xiao studied, there would be no one to take care of her at home.
The only high school in their area is in the county seat, which is too far away from Jiangjia Village, and students need to stay and can only go home once a week.
Jiang Mei has also reached the age of elementary school, and when Jiang Mei is studying, Jiang Chuan and Grandma Jiang in the family will only have Grandpa Jiang, which makes him a lame person and lacks skills.
If he takes care of his wife and children, there will be no one to take care of a large area of the family's fields, and if he takes care of the fields, no one will take care of the people in the family.
Jiang Mei has been delayed again and again, she is almost eight years old, and she must go to school to read and write.
called the daughter-in-law who was working outside to take care of her, and there was one less person to pay it back.
Let people help take care of it, it's not okay to do it to call favors, and you must also give money to people.
This is a dilemma.
As Jiang Xiao's grandparents, how could they not think about their granddaughter, but now, not to mention the future, they don't even have the tuition fee of a few thousand yuan.
"Xiaoxiao just took his mobile phone to make a call, are you looking for Daming?" Grandma Jiang also thought of this and asked.
If Jiang Xiao wants to study, he can only ask his son for tuition.
Just now, Jiang Xiao took his mobile phone and went out to make a call, and he called for a long time, so long that Grandpa Jiang was worried about going out to look for it.
The only ones who can talk to the well-behaved Jiang Xiao are her parents, but I heard that now the children of rich families have a mobile phone, maybe Jiang Xiao is calling her classmates.
Grandpa Jiang nodded, "I don't know either." ”
Grandpa Jiang is different from Grandma Jiang, he knows that the outside world changes very quickly, and the mobile phones used by young people when they come back every year for the Chinese New Year are exchanged for each other, and it is no longer this kind of small button mobile phone, but the kind of mobile phone with a big screen and a direct slide, which is simply unimaginable to Grandpa Jiang.
Now, the people in the village gradually have spare money, and the young people who work outside will bring a few mobile phones back, and those children will each have a mobile phone and gather in the grocery store at the entrance of the village to play.
In normal times, it is rare to see older children running around in the village.
But Jiang Xiao is different from them, because of the poverty of the family, Jiang Xiao and Jiang Mei have been very sensible since they were young, and they go home to work after school, and they don't go out to play like other children at all.
Grandpa Jiang felt that Jiang Xiao should not be on the phone with other people, she was on the phone with her son.
He sighed faintly.
When Jiang Xiao asked him for a mobile phone, Grandpa Jiang vaguely guessed.
At that time, he was reluctant to give his mobile phone to Jiang Xiao, he was willing that Jiang Xiao would not study, and would take care of Jiang Chuan at home for two years, and when Jiang Chuan was older and studied, Jiang Xiao would go to work.
There is no need to say this to her father, because this is a decision he made, even if Jiang Xiao and Jiang Mingcheng say it, it will not change anything.
But in the end, he still gave it, gave the mobile phone to Jiang Xiao, and asked her to make a phone call with Jiang Ming.
Now looking at Jiang Xiao's sad appearance, he feels uncomfortable.
It's all their old guys who are not good, they are sick, they owe a lot of debts, and they drag down these juniors.
"At that time, Jiang Xiaodu was crying, his eyes were red, he should have called Daming, probably he wanted to ask Daming for tuition, but Daming disagreed."
Grandpa Jiang said, what is the granddaughter they have grown up looking at since childhood, don't they know it themselves? If she had received the tuition, she would not have been so sad.
"Eighty percent of the Ming Dynasty disagreed."
"This is not good, if Xiaoxiao is willing to study, let her continue to read, borrow the money, pay it back later, and read to the child first." Grandma Jiang said with a serious face.
The previous plan to let Jiang Xiao not study had not been told to Grandma Jiang at home, so Grandma Jiang didn't know about it yet.
She lies on the bed, staring at her granddaughter with her dazed eyes, planning for her granddaughter's future.
"We can't drag out our small future because of our family's poverty, the days of poverty will always pass, but if a child doesn't study, the future will be ruined!"
When Grandma Jiang was young, her family was quite wealthy, she was a female college student who had read books, and she deeply understood the importance of reading for a child.
Reading is reason, reason is self-cultivation, and self-cultivation is life.
It's a pity that later, Grandma Jiang sighed with emotion, blinked her eyes, and said to Grandpa Jiang.
"You are an old fellow, just be bitter, take care of Jiang Chuan for a few years, and when he reaches the age of study, it will be good to put him in school, and I can also take a look at him when you are busy farming."
With Grandma Jiang's current situation, it's really just a look.
As she spoke, Grandma Jiang frowned, she felt that this idea was still good, and besides, Jiang Mei was not going to come back, the primary school was in the next village, and she could take care of the family when she came back from school.
The more Grandma Jiang thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was good, and now it was up to her son to solve the problem of Jiang Xiao's tuition.
"No, you call me Daming, and I want to talk to his old mother."
"Even if you don't pay back the money, even if you don't eat or drink, you still have to study! From today onwards, I will stop taking medicine and give money to Xiaoxiao to study. ”
"This ......"
Grandpa Jiang looked at Grandma Jiang with a stubborn face, and his face was full of embarrassment.
They have been borrowing money for many years, and now they are paying back a little bit a month, a little bit a month.
is such a big person, and he is still so willful, not eating, drinking, and not paying back.
Grandpa Jiang shook his head, looked at Grandma Jiang with a stubborn face, and couldn't resist her, so he had to call his son in the mobile phone address book as she said.
