Chapter 428: Aunt Lou, I Can't Sleep
When He Yuzhu came back from night school with his daughter-in-law, the stick terrier was sitting in the courtyard again.
His eyes kept looking at the moon gate, and every time he came in, there was a trace of anticipation in the depths of his eyes.
When the others came in, the anticipation in his eyes quickly dimmed again.
"Terrier, stop sitting, go back to sleep, I still have to go to school tomorrow morning."
Lou Xiao'e couldn't look at it a little, and said softly.
"Aunt Lou, I can't sleep."
The stick terrier glanced up at Lou Xiao'e, and the smile on her face was even uglier than crying.
"Huh!" new
Lou Xiao'e sighed heavily:
"If you can't sleep, come and sit at my house for a while."
"Hey, thank you, Aunt Lou."
The terrier's face finally showed a sincere smile.
After entering the house, He Yuzhu glanced at the bedroom and saw that his mother-in-law was coaxing her son to sleep, so he went out to wash with an enamel basin.
Lou Xiao'e beckoned the stick terrier to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and took three big apples from the chest of drawers and gave them to the stick terrier:
"Terrier, eat an apple."
Although the stick terrier was a little embarrassed, but looking at the red apple, he really wanted to eat it, so he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
"Aunt Lou, I'm ......"
Fortunately, he still has a little sense, knowing that apples are not cheap, and he is embarrassed to always take other people's.
"Take it and eat it."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and stuffed the three apples into the stick terrier's hand:
"The other two remember to bring it back to your sister to eat, but you can't eat it secretly."
"Hey, I know, Aunt Lou, I'll definitely give them food."
The stick terrier looked down at the big apple in his hand and took a bite of it.
The big apple is sweet and crisp, and when you bite into it, it is full of juice, which is called delicious, and the stick stalk subconsciously narrowed its eyes.
"Aunt Lou, this apple is so delicious."
Lou Xiao'e smiled, the apples were brought by his father when he came home two days ago, guarding such a farm, and their family did not lack these.
After eating a few bites of the stick terrier, a trace of obvious satisfaction flashed on her little face, and then Lou Xiao'e slowly spoke:
"Terrier, you're a smart kid, you need to know what's most important to you right now."
As soon as the stick terrier heard this, the action of biting the apple stiffened slightly, and the smile on his face was slightly restrained.
The sparkling eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Aunt Lou, I understand, but when I watch my mother go out, I just ...... I just don't feel at ease."
Lou Xiao'e looked at the stick terrier, and a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in her heart:
If the stick terrier was just an ordinary child, not so smart, not so precocious, wouldn't he be as miserable as he is now?
"Terrier, I told you before, everyone has their own considerations for doing things, and if you can't change it, you can only accept it.
If you don't want your mother to continue like this, study hard, just like your Aunt Yushui, and get admitted to a university.
There is a subsidy from the state every month, and after graduation, you can be assigned a good job, and your family will not have to worry about food and drink."
"However, my grandmother said that it is useless for girls to read so many books, and they still have to get married in the future.
She said that I am the same, as long as I know a few words, it is not a good thing to read too much.
Those who are literate and rational are very difficult to talk to, and they are very difficult to get along with."
The stick terrier frowned and looked at Lou Xiao'e, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she couldn't help but laugh angrily:
"Terrier, tell me yourself, is it useful to read?"
The stick terrier glanced at Lou Xiao'e seriously, her eyes dodged for a moment, and then she cringed and spoke:
"Aunt Lou, my grandmother said that our family has no money, and it costs money to go to school, so I ...... it."
Lou Xiao'e couldn't bear it in her heart
I'm going to start scolding, what kind of people are this, what kind of mess are you teaching?
"Stick terrier, when you were sick, your first grandfather and third grandfather came to look for your Uncle He.
They said that no matter how much it costs, they must save you, and if your family has no money, they can cushion it first.
It's also true that you go to school.
If you do well in your studies, even if your family has no money, your first grandfather and third grandfather will pool the money to let you go to school.
Also, you and Uncle He won't ignore you.
Don't think about it so much now, it's the right thing to study with peace of mind."
As soon as the stick terrier heard Lou Xiao'e say this, the uneasiness on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a firm face:
"I know Aunt Lou, I must study hard."
"Well, you're a big kid, you have your own judgment in your heart no matter what, don't let others influence your judgment easily."
Lou Xiao'e whispered, and saw that the stick terrier had finished eating the apple, so he got up and went home.
When I was about to go out, I also specially advised:
"Stick terrier, if you encounter any problems in your studies in the future, come and ask me, I won't take you to the three grandfathers, he will."
"Hey, I see, Aunt Lou."
As soon as the stick terrier came out of Lou Xiao'e's house with two apples, he saw Xiaodang and Huaihua coming back from outside, and he hurriedly greeted:
"Xiaodang, Huaihua, hurry home."
After the stick terrier left, Lou Xiao'e also went out of the house to wash up and go home to rest.
On the kang, she stared at the old man with a book for a long time, couldn't read a word, turned her head to look at He Yuzhu and asked:
"Brother Zhuzi, what do you think of Jia Zhang's family? I even thought that the stick terrier didn't have to study."
He Yuzhu smiled: "That's probably what Qin Huairu said before he came back."
"What do you mean?"
Lou Xiao'e didn't understand.
"Before Qin Huairu came back, she was an old lady with three children, and her life was naturally not easy.
Money can definitely be saved, and you have to pay tuition fees to go to school.
Now that Qin Huairu is back, she doesn't have to worry about her family's livelihood anymore, she will definitely not say this."
As He Yuzhu spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head:
"It's just poor Terrier."
Early the next morning, He Yuzhu got up early in the morning, and when he was washing, he met Qin Huairu again.
Qin Huairu washed his clothes with an enamel basin early in the morning, and when he saw He Yuzhu coming out to wash, he immediately smiled and said:
"Pillar, get up so early?"
He Yuzhu didn't even lift his eyelids, and turned around and entered the house with half a plate of water.
"Hey, Pillar, thank you for the three apples you gave the Stick Terrier last night.
Xiaodang told Huaihua that the apples are very sweet and delicious."
Qin Huairu hurriedly added.
He Yuzhu's footsteps didn't stop, as if he hadn't heard, and went directly into the house.
Qin Huairu was not annoyed, turned around and continued to wash clothes.
After breakfast, when He Yuzhu went out to work with his daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu also went out with a cloth bag.
Lou Xiao'e heard the stick terrier say that although Qin Huairu was released, she still had to accept labor reform.
Every day is like working in a rolling mill, going out in the morning and coming back in the afternoon.
It's okay to deceive others with this, Lou Xiao'e works in the street office, can she not tell the truth from the fake?
When he saw Qin Huairu go out, he couldn't help but feel a little curious:
"Brother Zhuzi, you said that Qin Huairu goes out early and returns late every day, what are you doing?"
He Yuzhu shook his head while pedaling the bicycle:
"I don't know, I'm not interested, it's not a good thing after all!"
