Chen Zian was shocked when he heard that Su Xiaotian wanted his family to move to the capital to start a small business.
He couldn't believe his ears.
I am even more doubtful, does this little girl Su Xiaotian know what she said?
Chen Zian stared at Su Xiaotian for a long time with clear eyes, but in the end he didn't ask a word.
According to his understanding, Su Xiaotian is definitely not the kind of person who envies the life in the capital and wants his family to move here just because he has lived in the capital for a few days.
However, this child happened to raise this question again.
"Xiaotian, are you serious?" It was Su Manxiu who asked.
Su Manxiu frowned and stared at Su Xiaotian without blinking, as if she wanted to see something on Su Xiaotian's face.
Everything is going well at home and life is prosperous. Why would this child want to move?
Does she know that moving is easy to say but very difficult to actually do?
Although the Su family is living a pretty good life now, with that little family background, if they move to the capital, do they have to beg for food?
If Su Xiaotian knew what Su Manxiu was thinking, she would probably say directly: That is absolutely impossible.
She has a way to make money. Although making money this way is not a long-term solution, as long as she has the first pot of gold in her hands, she can start a business.
As long as the business starts, the Su family will never be short of money again.
Begging for food or anything like that will never happen.
Su Xiaotian looked at Chen Zian and his wife, who were looking at her with expressions of disbelief.
"Yes, Auntie, I mean it."
Chen Zian said: "Xiaotian, you are still young and don't understand the principle that it is difficult to leave your homeland."
If given a choice, who would be willing to leave their familiar homeland?
Su Xiaotian waved her hand and said, "Uncle, although it is hard to leave one's homeland, there is another saying: people remove living trees and remove dead trees."
Chen Zian was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that a little girl could say this.
But this statement makes damn sense.
"That's true, but being too radical would only encourage the young people to thrive." Su Manxiu obviously still didn't agree.
She followed Chen Zian to the south to take office, and she had a deep understanding of the principle of people leaving home and becoming low-income.
In the south, for several months, she was unable to fully integrate into the local life. The language barrier and the different lifestyle were all specific problems she faced.
Fortunately, Chen Zian is going to be a leader, and many people in the local area are willing to help her adapt.
The Su family is different. If the Su family comes to the capital, they will only be ordinary people.
If you run a small business on the street, you don't know how many people will rush you.
My parents are old. Can they bear the injustice of going to the capital?
When people get old, they should stay in their hometown and live a stable life.
"No, aunt. You believe me, even if grandpa and grandma don't come to the capital now, they will still come to the capital in a year or two."
Su Xiaotian said this with great confidence.
Su Manxiu didn't believe that she could know who her parents were.
"Xiaotian, this is impossible!" Su Manxiu smiled helplessly.
This child is so natural. Although he is smart, he is still young and does not understand the mentality of adults.
"Maybe it's really possible!" This was what Chen Zian said.
Su Manxiu didn't expect Chen Zian to say this suddenly, and was very surprised and asked: "Why?"
"I estimate that in two years, most of the children in the family will go to the capital. It is not impossible for parents to come to the capital to guard their grandchildren!"
That's all. His father-in-law and mother-in-law treat Xiaotian as his darling. They keep saying that she is either a sweet girl or a good girl, and they are determined not to trust her to come to the capital to live alone.
At that time, there is a high probability that he will follow him to the capital to take care of Xiaotian.
Su Manxiu thought about it and realized that this was really not impossible.
In the hearts of parents, the granddaughter is the most important. Of course, the grandson is also very important.
However, although the children at home are good at studying, can they all be admitted to the capital?
"Xiaotian, have you ever thought about it? Living in the capital is different from living in the countryside." Su Manxiu frowned.
"Auntie, I already have a way to make money." Su Xiaotian said.
Chen Zian and his wife obviously did not expect that Su Xiaotian had really thought about making money.
This kid doesn't understand anything, he clearly understands it too well.
When it comes to making money, it is really different in small counties and capital cities.
Opportunities are everywhere in Beijing. As long as you seize them, you can make money.
The question is, what can Xiaotian do?
"Xiaotian, have you really thought about how to make money?"
"Auntie, grandma has opened a breakfast shop in the county. The business is very good. You can open a breakfast shop when you come to the capital. You can also sell boxed lunches. After all, my grandma is good at craftsmanship."
What Su Xiaotian said was reasonable and well-founded. Su Manxiu had also heard that his wife had opened a breakfast shop in good health.
But she was still thinking of persuading her mother to close the shop. She was so old and still working so hard.
"This is part of my income source. In addition, I can also make some money."
Su Manxiu was even more surprised. Su Xiaotian is just a little girl, how can she make money?
"Xiaotian, making money is not easy!" Su Manxiu could only advise.
"Auntie, this is a story I wrote recently. I have submitted it to a magazine. As long as it is published, I will get the royalties." Su Xiaotian quickly took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Su Manxiu.
After Su Manxiu read it, he looked at Su Xiaotian in surprise. This kid's writing is so good, right? The story is also very exciting.
How did she know that it was not surprising that Su Xiaotian could write such a wonderful story? After all, he had experienced decades more than others, watched many TV series, and read many novels.
In addition, after arriving in the capital, Su Xiaotian found another place where she could listen to stories.
There are many ancient trees in the capital city. To others, these ancient trees may be just ancient trees, but to Su Xiaotian, they are just stories.
Those stories that remain in the memory of ancient trees can be transformed into wonderful stories with some random modifications and artistic processing.
Chen Zian took Su Xiaotian's story draft from Su Manxiu's hand.
After looking at it carefully, he nodded approvingly: "Xiu'er, Xiaotian is even better than you!"
Chen Zian was surprised that the little girl wrote such a sophisticated story, but he was only surprised and did not suspect anything.
People in the old Su family are very smart, there is no doubt about this.
Su Manxiu waited for him and said, "You don't need to say this."
If Xiaotian can write stories, she can definitely make money, but does a family have to be supported by two people, an old man and a young man?
"I think my parents might give up their jobs and come to the capital. By then, my parents will be able to help my grandma open a restaurant, so that my grandma won't be tired, and the family will be able to earn a lot more."
Su Xiaotian had already thought of this.
She didn't know whether the eldest father and the second father would be willing to leave everything behind and come to the capital, but she felt it was possible for both her parents.
"We'd better ask our parents for their opinion on this matter," Su Manxiu said.
Although Xiaotian's plan is good, it is just the opinion of a child.
While the three of them were talking, Du Tonghe knocked on the door and came in.
"Zian, Manxiu, I have something I want to discuss with you first." When Du Tonghe said this, he was embarrassed. Obviously, what he was about to say might be a bit difficult.
The two looked at each other, wondering if there was anything they needed to discuss.
Although the relationship between the two families is good, strictly speaking, they don't have much contact.
Du Tonghe was actually able to say the words of discussion like this.
"Say it, Uncle Du!" Chen Zian nodded and said softly.
No matter what it is, you should listen to it first before you can draw a conclusion.
Su Xiaotian is also curious, but this is a matter for adults.
She sat aside, ready to grab a book from the side when she had nothing to do, opened it, and then used the blind spot to bring up the system library panel, ready to take out a book to read.
She doesn't know what she is busy with these days, and she has less and less time to read. Yesterday, she didn't even read for ten hours, which affected her income.
Although it is very profitable to exchange points for food and sell them, studying every day is a long time, even if there are droughts and floods, the income is guaranteed!
Just when Su Xiaotian was about to take out the book, she heard Du Tonghe speak.
"I know I shouldn't mention this matter, but after thinking about it again and again, I still think Xiaotian should study in the capital so as not to be delayed."
Neither Chen Zian nor Su Manxiu expected that Du Tonghe would actually ask for such a request.
This requirement is indeed difficult.
Although Su Xiaotian is a girl, she is the most important existence in the hearts of everyone in the old Su family.
How is it possible for the baby of the Su family to come to the capital to study? How is it possible?
Although Xiaotian recognized Du Tong and his wife as their godfather and grandma, they were not kisses after all!
"Uncle Du, I'm afraid this won't work, and my parents won't agree." Su Manxiu said bravely.
The Du family's only son died on the battlefield, sacrificing his life for the country and the people.
They just wanted to have someone by their side. They should have agreed, but...
Su Xiaotian also looked at Du Tonghe blankly, wondering why her godfather suddenly had such an idea.
"Listen to me first. First, we consider that the teaching conditions in Beijing are better. Xiaotian is smart and should receive a better education. Secondly, I asked someone to inquire about it. Xiaotian graduated from high school. I'm afraid.
I’m not old enough to take the college entrance examination.”
Obviously, no one else thought that Su Xiaotian would not be able to take the college entrance examination because she was too young.
Xiaotian will go to high school this year. She graduated from high school in two years and took the college entrance examination at the age of fourteen. She is indeed a bit young.
Chen Zian glanced at Su Xiaotian and asked, "Do you want to know more clearly, at what age can I take the college entrance examination?"
There are two little monsters at the same level at home, one is one year older than Su Xiaotian, and the other is two years older than Su Xiaotian.
"You must be at least 16 years old to take the college entrance examination." Du Tonghe said.
If Yu Ruiyuan hadn't accidentally asked this question while talking to Su Xiaotian and then thought about it, they would never have thought of asking about it.
Chen Zian looked at Su Manxiu helplessly, with an expression that clearly said: "Look, it's not good for a child to be too smart or too powerful. None of the three children seem to be old enough. When Xiaoba took the college entrance examination, he was still two months away.
He’s only sixteen years old.”
Su Manxiu understood what Chen Zian meant and smiled helplessly.
Who makes the children of the Su family so powerful?
But what should I do if I can't take the college entrance examination? You can't go back and forth to high school for several years.
Su Xiaotian obviously did not expect such a problem to arise. She always thought that as long as she graduated from high school, she could take the college entrance examination.
This problem is really big now!
Does she have to go to high school twice? What a waste of time!
"Zian, if I didn't know this, I would definitely not make such a request. Although we two old guys also hope that Xiaotian can accompany us, after all, we can't be so selfish as human beings!"
They are grandparents, but if you add the word "gan" in front of them, it proves that there is a difference between them and your biological grandparents.
"Uncle Du, do you have any other options?"
Chen Zian felt that since Du Tonghe could make such a request, there would be a way to facilitate this matter.
Du Tonghe nodded as expected: "I have inquired clearly. The high school department of the No. 7 Middle School in the city will recruit a juvenile class. The conditions are very strict. The age requirement is between ten and fourteen years old."
"Do you want Xiaotian to take the exam?" Su Manxiu asked.
"I want Xiaotian to take the exam. I also want Xiaoba and Xiaojiu to come and take the exam together."
Du Tonghe was not sure whether those two boys could pass the exam.
After all, the competition is too great. No matter how outstanding the children of the Su family are, they are held back by the teaching conditions.
But Du Tonghe had no way to say these words.
Chen Zian nodded: "I will immediately find a way to discuss this matter with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Matters affecting the child's life were important events, and he did not dare to delay them.
Du Tonghe nodded: "Registration will be in ten days, and the exam will be before the start of school."
"I understand." Chen Zian agreed immediately. After speaking to Su Manxiu, he left the Du family and hurriedly found a way to make a phone call.
The Red Hearts Brigade does not have a telephone yet, and the most calls can only be made to the commune.
Chen Zian felt that it was too troublesome to ask someone to help find someone, so he directly called the county's automobile fleet.
As a result, Su Laosan was not in the car team and had gone out to the car. The person who answered the phone said that he would not be back until the next day.
With no other choice, Chen Zian called the Chicken Cake Factory again, but the people at the Chicken Cake Factory said that both Liang Xiu and Qi Liangying had gone home to rest today.
In the end, Chen Zian had no choice but to call the commune and ask people from the commune to deliver a message, asking the old Su family to wait for the call tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, the Su family are now popular people in the commune.
Everyone in the commune knew that the children of the Su family were outstanding. They passed five college entrance examinations in one go, and they were all among the best universities in the country.
When the people in the commune heard that they were looking for the college student Su's family, they agreed immediately. This little cadre even made a special trip to the Red Heart Brigade to deliver a message to Grandpa Su and Grandma Su.
After a lot of tossing and turning, it was already the next morning when the Su family received the call.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su couldn't digest it for a while after their uncle told Du Tong and the news he had found there.
"Old man, how can you still be like this? It can't be fake, right?" Grandma Su asked with a bitter face.
"Probably not. Lao Du has been living in our Red Heart Team for such a long time. He is still trustworthy and cannot make mistakes. Besides, there is Zian. Even if he hears what Lao Du says, he will definitely go and inquire about it.
"
Grandpa Su analyzed it rationally.
I have to say that Grandpa Su’s analysis was really spot on.
After Du Tonghe told Chen Zian the information he had learned, Chen Zian did investigate again through his own methods.
The facts are exactly what Du Tonghe said.
Only then did Chen Zian call the Su family.
"How about we let my dear baby go to school two years later?" Grandma Su thought that her method was good.
How old are you, a little kid, going to college?
I heard from my grandchildren that when they go to college, they will have to live with several people. She is such a little girl, what if she is bullied?
Grandpa Su glanced at Grandma Su. This old woman was getting more and more confused.
Why couldn't she stop thinking about how much Xiaotian likes reading?
How uncomfortable would it be for the child if she was allowed to stop studying for two years?
"But, I can't bear to let my baby leave me!" How could Grandma Su not understand what Grandpa Su was thinking.
Su Xiaotian likes reading, especially.
She couldn't let Xiaotian not study normally just because she couldn't bear it.
But she couldn't accept the child leaving her.
"Then what else can we do? Don't worry, didn't Zian also say that Lao Du means to let the three children take the exam together!"
The three younger ones are all gone, so they can still take care of each other.
"But I..." Grandma Su was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"How about you follow me?" Grandpa Su glanced at his old lady and said helplessly.
Grandma Su hesitated again.
Her breakfast shop is doing very well now. She can earn more than ten yuan a day, or more than twenty yuan if she is better. If she leaves, won't she lose all this money?
"You mean you don't want to go?"
Grandpa Su originally thought that Grandma Su would be very receptive to his proposal, but he did not expect that Grandma Su would hesitate.
"My breakfast shop has just started to prosper, and I can't bear to leave it. It's a huge income. In the future, my children will rely on this breakfast shop to get married and start a family..."
Grandma Su felt that her liver ached when she thought that once she left, she would not be able to earn any more money.
"Then think about it, is it more important to have a good baby or a breakfast shop?" Grandpa Su hit the nail on the head.
This old woman is really confused. Why don't you think about it, can the breakfast shop compare with Guobao?
"Of course my dear baby is the most important." Grandma Su said, "Am I not trying to save more dowry for my dear baby?"
"You, you are planning to lose big at the expense of small things."
Although the dowry is important, but the future of having children is more important? Nowadays, it is not like in the past, and girls can also show their faces. I heard that there are still women who are high-ranking officials. Maybe his little sweetie can also be a high-ranking official in the future.
