Chapter 47 Chen Xiaorong and Qi Xuebing
Bao Zhoutong also criticized his father's ideology, and as a result, Bao Minggang no longer insisted on his stubborn ideological position. He said, "So how should our family solve this problem?" β
Bao Zhoutong said: "Zhou He and I can only stay: one at home to assist you in farming, I also Zhou He, you must send someone out or work or go to learn the craft to the home, so that the agricultural world can still be kept, but if a few years later, the craft is learned, you can make money, if you go out to work, although you can have a fixed income every year, but you still have to rely on this land to support when you go home, in general, it is better to learn the craft first." β
Bao Minggang said: "This is also a way, some time ago, your Uncle Shuming asked me to arrange for you, and I also quarreled with him and made him angry." β
Bao Zhouhe has more of his own thoughts, he said: "My brother is still more safe, according to my ideas, I suggest that my father arrange our brothers like this, I will let my brother go to learn the craft, let me go out to work, in this way, my father is a little hard for the time being, but we can also ask for leave to go home to help you do a few days of work when we are busy with farming, you just need to usually guard the crops on the line, in this way, agriculture, economy, and technology are not wrong, food security, economic income, and craftsmanship have been learned, which is the best adjustment method." The father and son all agreed to the second child's plan, and after finishing work, they went home to discuss the specific implementation of the plan, and began to implement it in a few days.
Bao Zhoutong was willing to learn a craft, so Bao Zhouhe had to choose to go out to work. Bao Minggang went to Wang Shuming to find the way, and Wang Shuming suggested that his eldest son learn a popular craft, so that once the craft is learned, it can be realized immediately. Wang Shumin also gave examples of several popular handicrafts and asked Bao Minggang to take them back for Bao Zhoutong to choose. Bao Zhoutong chose the job of a carpentry apprentice, and he thought that carpentry would at least not have to go out into the sun in the future.
Now you need to find a master with a more solid technique. Although there are many master carpenters in each village, the good and the bad are mixed, and choosing a good master is half the battle. After comparing four or five masters, it was finally decided that a master surnamed Zhang from another village would go to learn the craft.
Coincidentally, Master Zhang and Qi Xuebing are in the same village. This village is not big, Qi Xuebing's family is a neighbor of his family, so Bao Zhoutong can meet Qi Xuebing himself at any time when he goes to the master's house surnamed Zhang. However, Bao Zhoutong is very strange, why does Qi Xuebing still carry his schoolbag to school, didn't he get admitted to high school?
Qi Xuebing proudly said to his old classmates: "I was unlucky last year, I didn't get admitted to high school, and I strive to be admitted next year, Zhou Tong, I heard that Zhou He did well in the exam, why didn't he go to explain the situation to the school and strive for a place to repeat it, it's a pity." β
Bao Zhoutong said: "Our brother is not as good as you, even if my family is admitted to high school, I can't afford to study, so it's better not to waste this time to learn a craft." β
Qi Xuebing said: "How can this account be calculated like this, it is not surprising if your parents have such thoughts, but this kind of thinking falls on your heads, it is a bit vulgar." β
Bao Zhoutong knows that he can't compare with Qi Xuebing, maybe the Qi family has the financial ability to let him finish high school, but even if the Bao family has two children who leave school and go home to farm, they will at least have to provide for the other two children to study, the situation of each family is different, the children of good families have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't know how to solve it after eating.
Teacher Chen Limin's dormitory door is never locked, one is for the convenience of students to exchange homework books freely. In addition, he often runs around for the school, and it will be inconvenient to lock the dormitory himself.
Qi Xuebing is a representative of the Chinese class, and it is common for him to go in and out of Teacher Chen's dormitory, and he has to go there several times almost every day. In this way, I naturally got acquainted with Mr. Chen's youngest child.
Ms. Chen's youngest daughter is 12 years old and in the fifth grade. In order to prevent her daughter's grades from continuing to decline, Mr. Chen decided to take her with her to study.
Qi Xuebing went to Mr. Chen's dormitory every day after school to hand in his homework book, and his daughter was in the dormitory to review or do homework. Qi Xuebing would sometimes teach her homework, and after a long time, the two began to get acquainted. Teacher Chen's daughter's name is Chen Xiaorong, and her mouth is still sweet. Xiao Rong calls Qi Xuebing Brother Qi, and sometimes she also calls Brother Bing, as long as she likes to call it, Qi Xuebing is willing to accept it. Qi Xuebing or call her Sister Xiaorong or Sister Rong, Chen Xiaorong is now a little dependent on Qi Xuebing, without Qi Xuebing, she can't settle down to do her homework. Qi Xuebing sometimes brought some delicious things from home to Chen Xiaorong to eat, sometimes fruits, sometimes some nuts, in short, Brother Qi made Chen Xiaorong's sister very happy.
Late autumn is coming, the autumn wind is sorrowful, and the kumquat is fragrant. The flat and vast land ushered in singing and laughter. The crops are presented in the fields with their indomitable heroic appearance, and the farmers' faces will show joy when a good harvest is in sight.
Qi Xuebing went to school today and brought Chen Xiaorong four kumquats, and the orange skin revealed a sweet and elegant smell. Qi Xuebing carefully placed the oranges in the mezzanine of his schoolbag and covered them with some paper so that the oranges could be completely hidden.
Finally got through to the end of school, Qi Xuebing picked up his schoolbag and walked to Teacher Chen's dormitory with his homework book. Chen Xiaorong is doing her homework on the desk.
Qi Xuebing came in with his homework book, and when he saw Chen Xiaorong, he shouted loudly: "Sister Xiaorong, guess what I brought you today?" β
Chen Xiaorong turned around and said to Qi Xuebing: "Brother Qi, then what delicious food can you bring me, I'm so hungry!" β
Qi Xuebing put down the homework book, took off the schoolbag from his shoulder, and put it in front of Chen Xiaorong with the schoolbag: "You can find it yourself, see if you like it or not." β
Chen Xiaorong opened the schoolbag and took out the books one by one, Qi Xuebing laughed: "Sister Xiaorong, if you look for something like this, I don't know how many years Ma Yue will be able to find it, I will teach you a method, it will be much easier." β
Chen Xiaorong quickly touched the oranges in the schoolbag, and shouted: "Wow, it's oranges, it's great, are these for me?" β
"Of course it's all for you, I've been hiding it all day, and I'm reluctant to eat it." Qi Xuebing said.
"Brother Bing, you are so good, why do you have so many delicious things in your house." Chen Xiaorong said happily while peeling oranges.
"After the frost, I still have Wendan to pick at home, so what about the king of fruits?" Qi Xuebing said proudly.
"What does Wen Dan look like, Brother Bing, can you take me to your house to see it?" Chen Xiaorong was broken.
"The shape is like the orange in your hand, but the size is many times larger than the orange, flattened, round, golden and yellow, hanging on the tall fruit trees, like a 'lantern' and a 'head melon', but it is beautiful." Qi Xuebing simulated the shape and size with his hands, eager to move the entire fruit tree in front of Chen Xiaorong.
"What if such a big fruit falls off the tree?" Chen Xiaorong looked very naΓ―ve.
"Don't worry, when it will drop its fruit, my parents know that it will not fall from the tree until there is frost." Qi Xuebing showed off his knowledge.
"Are its leaves pretty?" Chen Xiaorong asked another question.
"Leaves?" Qi Xuebing smiled: "The leaves are more charming than the fruit, the green elf is about the same shape as the orange, but it is definitely much larger than the leaves of the orange, and it has a refreshing effect when it smells." β
"Brother Bing, you seem to know everything, how many fun things are hidden in your house, can you introduce them all?"
"I can't tell you this, it's too much, I can't count the delicious things that grow in the ground, some eat the stems, some eat the buried soil, and some eat its leaves, of course, I won't talk about the fruits, you generally know this, if you count the more that can't be eaten."
Qi Xuebing knew that if he stayed any longer, Teacher Chen would come in, and he had to leave here before Teacher Chen came to the dormitory, and it was also very embarrassing to meet Teacher Chen here.
