The village where Xiao Xia's family is located is called Yangshugou, and her mother married from a neighboring village, and there is an uncle in the neighboring village. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiao Xia's grandmother originally lived with her uncle, but her uncle's life was not very good and it was difficult to support her, so Xia's mother took the old man to live in Yangshugou. Every New Year's Day, my uncle will also go to Xiaoxia's house in Yangshugou to "visit".

Uncle is not only here to see the old mother, but also has only one more important purpose - to ask for money!

Xiao Xia's uncle is idle, not doing his job, and just gambling and making trouble all day long. Over the years after Dayu's successful water control, the people of Lu Zebu have become more and more prosperous, and everyone's life is getting better and better, but his family is getting more and more dilapidated, and even his old mother is unwilling to support him, so he will be taken to his home by Xia's mother.

The ancestors had some land, but they were almost defeated by their uncles, and there were still a few acres of thin fields left, but they didn't feel at ease to cultivate. is such a person, who can also marry, and his wife is also a lazy person, who can't manage her husband at home, but is very spicy outside, and after having a son and a daughter, he often goes to his mother and sister to ask for goods.

Xiao Xia returned home a year ago, and sent back a part of the New Year's reward received from the Grange. The days of the other courtyard are not as good as those of the rich and wealthy, but they are much better than ordinary villages, Xiaoxia can get money, and there are rewards on the New Year's Day. This time she sent home cloth and cured meat, and happened to meet her uncle with her aunt and two children, clamoring for money.

My uncle was very arrogant, my aunt was very spicy, and if I didn't give it, I would make trouble, and I knocked over all the meals that had been prepared. Xiao Xia was very aggrieved, angry and scared, tears rolled in her eyes, and she just hugged her grandmother's arm. Grandma said that she really couldn't get any money, but her uncle noticed Xiao Xia who had brought cloth and cured meat back.

So the uncle's tone changed and said: "Isn't Xiao Xia blessed in the Baoming National Courtyard?

The cloth and cured meat that Xiao Xia took home were taken away by his uncle, but this little thing was not enough, his uncle wanted more, and this year was also restless. A few days ago, Xiao Xia went home again, and her parents discussed with her, so they lent a sum of money to her uncle, so that the other party would not make any more trouble, and Xiao Xia was worried about this during this time.

The things in the world are inextricably linked, and it is difficult to explain in a word, Xiao Jiu shook his head again and again when he heard it. In the eyes of some people, Xiao Jiu's identity is embarrassing, and he is far away from home to come to this unaccompanied place at a young age, and his life is really not very good. But compared to Xiao Xia, he has enjoyed it a lot, at least he is no longer entangled in these messy things.

Xiao Jiu didn't say anything in a hurry, just asked, "Sister Xiao Xia, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Xia bowed his head and said: "Don't hide it from my son, I have also saved some money over the years, and I have a total of thirty copper noses on hand, and this time I plan to take out one-third, that is, ten copper noses, to my parents, so that they can lend it to my uncle, so that my uncle will stop making trouble." ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the two closest people around him, Tailuo and Xiao Xia, were quite able to save money! The local village people are still bartering many times nowadays, and only in the big bazaars will they use currency, which is called "nose" in the local area, which is just a dialect.

The most common nose is pottery, and the official represented by Lord Bojun is qualified to refine it, using a uniform model, and it is a capital offense if anyone makes pottery nose privately. More valuable than the pottery nose is, of course, the gold, silver, and copper noses, and the gold and silver things are often only owned by the nobles, and it is not easy for the commoners to hold the copper nose in their hands.

Ten copper noses, you can buy a healthy cow, Xiao Xia has been a maid in the courtyard for six years, and she actually saved thirty! That is to say, all the pocket money and rewards she has received over the years have been saved, and as for the extra rewards, some of them are taken back to honor their parents, and the other part is also exchanged for money and saved.

On the one hand, she is used to living a hard life since she was a child, and she never spends money indiscriminately, and she doesn't need to spend money when she is in charge of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. On the other hand, she may also be saving a dowry for herself.

For a maid like her, who was sent to a large family, although the main family would pay a dowry when she got married, it was often very limited. According to custom, the dowry is the woman's own goods after marriage, and the dowry belongs to the woman's parents. Xiao Xia doesn't know what the future holds, so she's saving money for herself in advance.

Seeing that Xiao Jiu didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Xia raised his eyes pitifully and asked, "Childe, shouldn't I do this?"

Xiao Jiu asked rhetorically, "What do you say yourself?"

Xiao Xia lowered his head again and said, "But I can't help it, I can't watch my family live in peace." ”

Xiao Jiu: "You took out these ten copper noses, can you live in peace at home?"

Xiao Xia: "Of course I have conditions, and I will let my parents tell my uncle that if he wants to take this money, he has to promise not to make trouble again." ”

Xiao Jiu still asked: "Your uncle wants to take money from you, and he really got the money, seeing that this plan is feasible, he continues to fight this idea, what should you do?"

Xiao Xia: "Of course, I will also state that this is all the money I have saved, and I will never ask for it again." ”

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said, "You take it for granted!"

Xiao Xia: "Why did I take it for granted?"

Xiao Jiu looked at Xiao Xia, knowing that her experience was sympathetic, but he was inexplicably a little angry, and he didn't know who was angry, and said with some excitement: "Is your uncle's matter really something that can be solved by ten copper noses? If his habits are not changed, giving him a copper nose is not only useless, but can only promote bad habits and make innocent people even more injured." You love your parents and grandmother, why should you hurt them?"

Where does this start, Xiao Xia felt that her behavior was very kind, so kind that even she was touched by herself, but when she heard such an evaluation, she asked very aggrievedly: "I am obviously helping them, I would rather be wronged, why am I hurting them?"

Xiao Jiu: "Is your uncle doing the right thing?"

Xiao Xia: "Of course it's not right, but it's ......"

Xiao Jiu waved his hand to interrupt her and said: "You know that it is wrong, but you still want to connive at it? He asks your parents for money, and you let him ask for success! Through that kind of behavior, he can get so much money, who is he, what will he think, and what will he do? Your parents' family was originally restless for a while, but as long as you take these ten copper noses and let them give them to your uncle, I am afraid that the future will be restless." ”

Xiao Xia: "No, right? I have to say in advance that I won't make any more trouble after taking the money, and I will also ask my parents to tell my uncle that there is no more, that's it." ”

Xiao Jiu: "Let me ask you, have your parents and your grandmother told him many times about things like this? It's not the first time he's come to ask for money, it's just that he hasn't gotten so many copper noses at once." Since it's been said many times that it's useless, isn't it useful this time?"

Xiao Xia: "But this time it's ten copper noses! And it's really only once, and I won't take it again, even if it's for my parents." ”

Xiao Jiu couldn't hold back as soon as he opened his mouth this time: "Ten copper noses seem to you to be a lot, but is it really a lot? But he can only buy a cow! In the past, he only got a few treasures every time, and your family was already unbearable, and if he could ask for ten copper noses this time, he would only get worse."

It's not that you don't know what the money is, it's that you don't know who he is, and it's not that you don't know what it is, whether you should do it or not.

Ask yourself, should he really ask for your money, and will you really want to give him money? What is the reason why you should do something that you should not and do not want to?

Isn't it really a good deed for you to give your uncle the money you have saved with your own hands to your uncle who is evil, so that he can succeed, or if he thinks he is kind?"

His words were very polite, with a reprimand, Xiao Xia was already wronged, and at this moment even the "good deed" was denied, Xiao Xia was also a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it, just asked: "What hasn't happened yet, how dare Childe be so sure?" No matter what, I can't see my parents suffering, I have to do something." ...... And this matter is what my parents discussed with me, and now I am the only one who can save money in the family. ”

Childe is so young, how can it be as if he has seen everything that happens next, maybe things are not what he said? This is what Xiao Xia thinks in his heart.

Xiao Jiu stomped his feet and said, "I don't want to see my parents suffer, but I let them suffer even more." If so, do you still want to do it?"

Xiao Xia will be suspicious: "Is this really the case?

Xiao Jiu sighed and said: "Although I have never encountered this kind of thing myself, I have already remembered it when I was in Baoming Kingdom! My father has hundreds of children, and the concubines and in-laws are fighting with each other, and I have never seen any messy things, otherwise why would I voluntarily come here? You are too simple, I have seen a lot of it a long time ago, and I can think of the result with my heels."

If you can see the signs of distress before it manifests, you should eliminate its beginnings. Otherwise, it will only become more and more troublesome, not to mention that it will in turn fuel its momentum. The truth is simple, so simple that almost everyone understands it. If you can't ask for it, it's useless to make noise, and it will cease to do so, and if you succeed in it, it will get worse.

If you want to cut off the signs, not only will you not be able to take out these ten pottery noses, but if your uncle does not change his habits, you must also dissuade your parents from giving him any more money. He can't succeed with your parents, and I'm not sure if he'll make trouble again, but if you want to live in peace, it's a necessary premise. ”

Xiao Xia hesitated and said, "I know what Gongzi said, but what if my uncle still wants to come to the door to make trouble, and even take the goods?"

Xiao Jiu: "This is a helpless thing, who let there be such a person in the world! Confusing their property and goods is forcible and forcible to take it, which is the crime of plunder, and can be reported to the officials of the government office for disposal. ”

Xiao Xia seemed to be a little frightened and said: "How can that be? They are all relatives and family members, how can they be sent to the government for punishment? If they are really punished and imprisoned, what will happen to his two sons and daughters?"

Xiao Jiu frowned and said: "If it is an act of forcibly seizing wealth and goods, it should be dealt with in this way, shouldn't it be your uncle's turn? Other sinners in the world have parents and family members, so can't they be punished for their sins? As for the later things, let's talk about it later! There is no perfect plan for everything in the world, so shouldn't you do it from the beginning?"

Xiao Xia said very aggrievedly: "Everyone understands the empty talk, but what's the use? You are not me, you can't understand my situation, no matter how good others explain the truth, but can you watch it when the time comes? Childe doesn't need to say it anymore, I'll think about it again." ”

Xiao Jiu has said everything he needs to say over and over again, but Xiao Xia is still hesitant. Xiao Jiu sighed and said with his hands behind his back......: "Who said that reasoning is useless? I have heard the master explain the strength of freedom, and today I know that it is rare. ”

Xiao Xia sat alone in the room, and said secretly in his heart: "Childe is so young, how can his heart be so hard? Can't even comfort people a little? Can't he understand the suffering of others? Talking is almost ruthless! How can things be so easy to explain, only when you meet them will you know ......?"

Xiao Jiu is only nine years old, and this is her family matter, Xiao Xia Ben didn't expect Xiao Jiu to solve his troubles. She will say it, but she is too aggrieved in her heart, and she also wants to find someone to talk to, hoping that someone will praise her kindness, sympathize with her experience, and feel sorry for such a good girl as she encountered such a thing, which is the most important thing and what she wants the most!

But what did Xiao Jiu Gongzi say? He didn't have much compassion, but counted her down, and it seemed that he couldn't count on her. Thinking about it, Xiao Xia couldn't help but cry again.

Of course, Qingniu was clear about the movements in the other courtyard, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and he didn't know who he was shaking his head for.
