Everything is inferior, only reading is high.

Reading can be rational and can improve one's cultural quality and self-cultivation.

Books are also the spiritual food of human beings, and a person's knowledge and knowledge are acquired through reading.

Ye's mother also followed the Women's Federation to various small villages and schools, and knew that many children knew a few words in the second and third grades, but they dropped out of school and were taken home by their parents to do farm work.

Whoever cares about the children, she can't control the grandchildren, but it is good to help subsidize the subsidy at all, and they are also shallow in the province, so in order to save some tuition, they will not let the children go to school.

Moreover, this year, several sons have bought shops, and Dongzi has also bought a boat, so it is estimated that they are all short of money.

They have already paid the money that should be helped, and they can only subsidize the children's tuition fees, and there is no more, and the two of them have to save money for the elderly.

Maybe they will toss and turn around in the future, and the two old ones will have to dig out the coffin book again to help. (Emphasis on Ye Yaodong)

The three concubines were also happy when they heard that they were given more New Year's money for their children to study and sign up, and the second sister-in-law Ye said with a smile: "My mother is really generous, but it is different after going to class." ”

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye have three children in school, and they have to pay five or six yuan as soon as they sign up, which directly helps out half of it, who is not happy?

Ye Mu glanced at her after finishing the red envelope, and said angrily: "When did I get stingy, I didn't go to work, and I didn't lose anything to you, which year did I give less money for the New Year, and which month didn't serve you well?" I never asked you to pay for food and drink. ”

After being stunned for a moment, Second Sister-in-law Ye also reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, this is not to say that other people's families are grandmothers, but they didn't think about paying tuition fees to help share a little, whose children are raised, and no one is as generous as you." ”

Lin Xiuqing also helped and said: "Not only that, when I bought the store, my father and mother also paid for it, 300 yuan per person, adding up to 900 yuan, and I gave it a lot." ”

Sister-in-law Ye also smiled and said: "Yes, my mother's hands are also loose after work, and she can also help us, help with big things, help with small things, and now even help children with reading......

"Don't think about how much I can help, the two of us who are old and don't make much money still have to support the elderly, you young people have to work hard, you can't expect us to do it old."

Although Ye Mu listened to them very much, she still said unforgivingly, a typical knife mouth tofu heart.

"It's drip, it's drip, what my mother said makes sense, then you and my dad do a little more while they're still young." Ye Yaodong said with a grin, and helped her pour the wine by the way.

Mother Ye patted him, "Then you wait for me to work with your father until half a foot is in the coffin, and then go to the elderly with your grandma to enjoy happiness." ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, you really don't do anything, and you guys don't feel comfortable sitting, right? I'm thinking about you. ”

Mother Ye gave him a blank look, but the old lady kept nodding with a smile on the side.

"Yes, yes, live to be old, work until you are old, move more, work hard, and your bones will not rust."

After speaking, she waved to a few children who were excitedly opening their eyes and closing their eyes to look inside the red envelope, "Come here, Ah Tai also has a red envelope for you, one for each person." ”

A few children cheered again, but they didn't expect the old lady to prepare one for them, which was not available before.

"This is one year less, I'm this age, some eat, some drink, it's useless to keep the money, one person gives some New Year's money to buy something to eat."

Ye Chenghai was the first to say: "Thank you, Tai, I wish you good health and a long life." ”

The other children shouted behind them.

The room was full of childish words, which seemed to be very lively, and some people who had already eaten Chinese New Year's Eve had heard the movement and ran to the window to look.

The old lady's wrinkled old face smiled like a flower, and she was so happy that she said yes again and again.

A group of children hurried out after receiving the New Year's money, and the red envelopes received in advance were all confiscated by their respective mothers at home.

Although these two red envelopes will be confiscated if they go home later, at least they can stay in their pockets for a while, and they can secretly hide a dime or two, or use them to buy some firecrackers first.

Ye Xiaoxi's pocket was also stuffed with the New Year's money given by Ye's mother and the old lady, and the red corner was still exposed, which was particularly eye-catching, Lin Xiuqing didn't immediately stuff the red envelopes into her pocket, anyway, it was for the child, so she had to go home and put it away for her.

After the children ran away, although the house was not so lively, it was still warm, everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was more harmonious than in previous years.

It may be that they don't live together, there is no friction, the fragrance is far away, the smell is near, it is rare for a family to eat together, and everyone is also fragrant, plus the living standards of each family are much higher this year.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is generally eaten early in the local area, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, basically every household begins to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and after eating their respective card games, the Mazu Temple is fragrant at night, and you can also heat it up and eat again to go to sleep.

Ye Yaodong is also like the men in the village, after eating, he patted his ass and left, and went to play cards with friends.

I waited until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night on the third watch, and after incense at the old little Mazu temple, I went to the old house for a supper before returning home.

At this point, the village is still brightly lit, and it is rare that the electric lights will be lit until dawn tonight, and their house is the same.

As soon as he locked the door and was about to enter the house, he saw the old lady come out of her room, still holding a bag of red paper in her hand, and looked at him with some wonder.

"What are you doing? Why don't you sleep yet? ”

"Come here." The old lady smiled and beckoned to him, and sat down at the table.

Ye Yaodong was confused, walked to the table and sat down with a confused face, and looked at her, "What are you doing?" What's in the red paper? Money? ”

It looks quite similar, and when they celebrate the New Year in the local area, as long as there is money left at home, they have to wrap it in red paper and store it, which means that they are prosperous and festive, and they look forward to the future of the money wheel.

In the middle of the night, what is she doing with the money?

He looked at the boxy red paper bags stacked on the table, and vaguely seemed to understand in his heart.

The old lady touched his arm and smiled kindly, "This is for you, you are also out of business now, the little money I saved is too little for you, but I can help you a little bit, although you always say that you have enough money, but such a big stall is spreading, how can it not be bad money." ”

"Originally, my money was also for you. In the past few years, you haven't grown up, like a child, I can only save more, save a little more, and think about when it won't work and give it to you, so that you can live a better life for a few days. ”

"Over the years, I have been reluctant to give those children New Year's money, just thinking about saving more money and leaving it to you in the future. Seeing you so good this year, I am also happy in my heart, this money is given to you as soon as possible, maybe it can come in handy. ”

"I don't have the ability, I've saved so much in half my life, but I can also reduce your burden, and the burden of this family is on you......"

The old lady chattered, and Ye Yaodong listened to his sour nose, and he was about to cry.

I also thought of the old lady in her previous life before she died, spending everyone and secretly handing him a thick wad of money before closing her eyes.

At the same time, he also understood that the old lady had not given the junior any money in the past few years, and she wanted to save more for him.

And this year, he generously gave a few small ones New Year's money, because he saw that he made a lot of money this year, and his life was better, and he didn't need much money in her hands.

No wonder I didn't see her before noon until Chinese New Year's Eve, and after asking, I found out that I went to the second uncle's house, and it is estimated that I also sent money to several great-grandchildren over there.

He felt sour and uncomfortable in his heart, adjusted his mood in silence, and said slowly: "You don't have to give it to me, just like you said, I have earned a lot of money this year, not bad for you, you can keep it, buy something to eat yourself, or if you love to give it to the juniors, buy something for the juniors, buy something for them to eat, they are happy, and you are happy." ”

The old lady pushed the red paper bag in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I still have a little left, and all the coins have been left, otherwise if a few small ones want to eat, they can't have money." ”

"No need, I have money, I have earned a lot this year, and I haven't borrowed money from outside, I don't need your money, I'll tell you when I'm really poor."

"Take it, it doesn't matter if you're about the same amount of money, it's going to be given to you anyway. You bought me this and that this year, and it cost me a lot, I'm old, and it's useless for me to keep this money in my hands, and I can't make money at my age, and I can't save much anymore. Give it early and give it late, it's all for you, and now you can still help, take it! ”

The old lady shoved the bag of red paper into his hand, and grabbed his hand to prevent him from pushing it back.

"You just take it, you don't feel at ease if you don't take it, but I can feel at ease if you take it, so as not to worry about being gnawed by rats when you put it there."

Ye Yaodong smiled, "This new house has only been built for a year, where did the rats come from." ”

"I said there is, you take it. Also, do you either take half of it out and hide it, and then hand over half of it to Ah Qing? In the second half of the sentence, she said in a small voice, for fear that Ah Qing in the house would hear it.

Ye Yaodong couldn't hold back now, and almost laughed out loud.

The old lady is teaching him to hide private money?

"Don't laugh, don't laugh, what I said is true, you can collect a little by yourself, and give the rest to Aqing, it's okay to keep a little less...... That way, you don't have to keep asking her for money......"

"You saw the two pieces left over from my private collection of pork a few days ago, and you made a temporary idea, right?"

"Hehe, you can't be a big man with no money in your pocket, you hide it, put a little less in your pocket, and you won't lose it. When you came back, I didn't give it to A-Qing directly, I just wanted you to keep a little bit for yourself. ”
