Chapter 70: The Passing Year 2
Little brother, what are you singing?" Jia Mantun asked suspiciously.
Jia Huan tilted his head and said in a milky voice, "I don't know either! I sang along with the singing over there."
He took Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun's hands and said, "Brother sing with me!"
Jia Mantun shook his head: "I won't."
Jia Huan: "I've learned, I'll teach you."
As he spoke, he taught the two children to sing one by one.
According to linguistic theories, the best time for a child to learn a foreign language is before the age of twelve.
Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun are both under the age of twelve, so they are not slow to learn foreign languages.
Although I don't know what language or meaning they sing, I remember every lyric.
After Jia Huan corrected their pronunciation, they sang very standardly.
Jia Huan said he was very satisfied.
Today's plan was successfully completed, and after that, he would teach his two older brothers more songs in this way, and then take them to sing.
This is the only way he can think of making money at this stage.
The next day, Jia Mantun and Jia Mancang went home and found that their little brother was not waiting for them at the door of the house.
They found their little brother singing quietly in the same clearing yesterday.
The little brother waved at them and smiled happily, "Brother, come on, I have learned a new song, teach you to sing!"
In this way, after half a month, Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun followed Jia Huan to learn several songs.
Jia Huan saw that he was almost ready, and on this day, he asked his two brothers to change into clean clothes, and let the two of them take him to a street near the port.
There are a lot of people coming and going from the port, and this street is the most prosperous street, and there are either foreigners or wealthy locals coming and going.
Poor people like Jia Huan are not allowed to enter this street.
Three people could only stand closest to the entrance of the street.
Jia Mancang said timidly, "Little brother, do we really want to do this?"
Jia Huan: "Don't you want to make money?"
Jia Mantun: "Yes, but I'm afraid."
Jia Huan: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm not afraid, just like I usually sing."
After speaking, he began to sing the hymn of "Praise the Lord."
Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun heard the familiar melody and couldn't help but hum softly. After singing a few words, he let go and sang loudly along with Jia Huan.
Passers-by heard the hymn and thought it was the children of the church choir singing, but when they looked over, they found that it was three local children singing.
There was also a small wooden box in front of them, which looked like it was a singer.
Seeing that the three children looked quite cute, and sang Catholic hymns, and their pronunciation was even more standard than that of the choir children, the foreigners felt that the three children were very pleasing to the eye, so they took out the money and threw them in the wooden box.
Foreigners are all big money, and the banknotes they throw away, even if they are the lowest amount, can be exchanged for a piece of the ocean!
This piece of the ocean, you can buy good things!
When Jia Mancang saw the money in the wooden box, his eyes were red, and he sang even louder.
After singing "Praise the Lord," they sang several other hymns, and then they left satisfied, holding the wooden box.
It's not that no one is jealous of the money.
But the three children sang songs in foreign languages, and they seemed to have something to do with foreigners.
No one dared to offend the foreigners, nor did they dare to rob the three children who seemed to have a relationship with the foreigners, and let them leave with a huge amount of money.
It's really a "huge amount of money", and the sum of these money is equivalent to Jia Erzi's income for a year.
As a result, it was the income of three children for a day.
Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni and their two sisters were shocked.
"You can make so much money just by singing?"
Second sister Jia Dongmei asked with sparkling eyes.
Singing can make money, so can she also sing?
Jia Mantun pouted: "You have to be able to sing foreign songs."
Jia Mantun has a bad relationship with Jia Dongmei, Jia Dongmei's personality is too strong, unlike the eldest sister Jia Qiuju who always takes care of her younger brother, she will grab things with her younger brother, especially food, causing both younger brothers to dislike her.
Of course, she doesn't like the debt collector brother either, she likes the cute little brother.
Jia Dongmei said directly to Jia Huan: "Little brother, teach me to sing foreign songs."
Jia Huan nodded.
Jia Dongmei hugged Jia Huan and kissed his little face.
"The little brother is the best brother in the world."
"Sister, don't kiss, men and women don't kiss."
Jia Huan pushed Jia Dongmei hard, even if he was his own sister, he was not used to being so close to people.
Jia Qiuju hugged Jia Huan and said to Jia Dongmei, "Okay, don't make trouble with my little brother."
Jia Huan turned his head and buried his head in Jia Qiuju's arms, it was best to be a big sister.
Jia Qiuju is the eldest of the children of the Jia family, and she is sixteen years old this year, and it is time to say goodbye.
It's just that because the family is poor, there is no dowry, so even if she looks good, not many people are willing to marry such a daughter-in-law.
It's good now.
Zhang Chunni took out one-fifth of the pile of money and said, "This part of the money is for the eldest girl to prepare a dowry."
Jia Qiuju was grateful and moved, and excused herself: "Mother, no need, let's use it to improve the conditions at home." It's getting colder, so let's use the money to buy some thick padded jackets."
Zhang Chunni: "The money is still kept with you for the dowry. Your father and I can suffer from the cold, so we won't buy padded jackets this year. The rest of the money will be given to each of the five of you to buy one."
Jia Qiuju shook her head: "It's better to buy a padded jacket for my father and mother first."
The two mothers and daughters pushed back and forth, and Jia Mancang couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mother, eldest sister, don't push around, buy a padded jacket for your father and mother first. Tomorrow my brother and I will go to the port again to sing and earn money for my eldest sister's dowry."
Zhang Chunni slapped her thigh: "Why did I forget, this singing is not a one-shot deal, it can be continued!"
Jia Qiuju was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and also smiled.
"Then I'll thank my brothers for preparing the dowry money."
"No thanks." Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun raised their heads and chests.
Jia Huan also showed a big smile.
Jia Erzi made a final decision: "Child, you take Qiu Ju to the pawnshop early tomorrow morning and buy seven padded jackets back, and you want the kind of thick and new." This year, we're all wearing new clothes."
Zhang Chunni nodded again and again, and said, "Tomorrow I will buy another knife of meat and a fish, and make something good for you."
Several children and Jia Erzi began to swallow saliva.
Meat! They hadn't eaten for a long time.
Jia Mantun remembers that he ate meat the year before last during the Chinese New Year, and only ate a piece of meat the size of a fingernail.
The taste is amazing!
It's delicious!
I want to eat meat again!
