Nowadays, there is no shortage of water, but Ma's sister-in-law is still subconsciously reluctant to use it. She just poured the dishwashing water to wash the pot, and then put the water in it to water the vegetable garden tomorrow.
As for washing faces and feet, there is only one basin for one person in the room, and there is one basin left for washing shoes and so on.
After finishing all the trivial matters, Old Man Xu held a family meeting in the middle room.
There are a total of fourteen people in the family and there are only three rooms, so Mr. Xu arranged it like this.
In the room on the left, Xu Chunhe and his wife lived, separated by a curtain, and Xu Sanlang lived outside.
The room on the right is occupied by Xu Chunlin and his wife, also separated by a curtain, and Xu Wuya lives outside.
The room in the middle, separated by a small room, was where he and Mrs. Xu slept. The large room outside was used as the main hall. During the day, everyone sat together to eat and talk. At night, the table and bench were used as beds. Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang
Just go to sleep right here.
As for Xu Yinyin's family of four, they are staying at Uncle Zhang's house for the time being. They will move back when the house is expanded later.
When Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang were resettled, they were reported as two households. The three houses built by the government were spacious for them to live in.
In addition to Xu Yinyin's family of four, the Zhou family also moved people over to stay.
Otherwise, if there are too many people, there will be no room for it, and if there are fewer people, there will still be room available.
Therefore, after dinner in the evening, Xu Yinyin and the four of them had to go to Zhang's house to have a rest. Old man Xu didn't talk nonsense, kept the story short, and then left.
"Last year was a bad year, and the number of teachers in the school increased again. I had no choice but to let Rokuro come back home. This delay has lasted a year. I went to your sister-in-law's house today to talk about this matter.
It's hard to waste a day studying. How many days did Rokuro waste? He has to work hard to make up for it.
You sister-in-law and others also said, and I think so in my heart. Now that we have settled down in Yiyang Mansion, there is no shortage of water here, and we will never starve to death. If we all make a living, we can live a good life.
, so I think, Rokuro still has to go to this school."
After he finished speaking, he waited for his sons to express their stance.
Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan looked at each other as father and mother, and saw a trace of speechlessness in each other's eyes.
As for Xu Dajun's enthusiasm for studying, even when he was a child, his sister had to hold a whip behind his buttocks to drive him to study. Without his sister's guidance, he would not be able to pass the middle or upper level of the class.
If he still doesn't do well in the re-study exam, let him go to school?
Don't! Don't waste money!
Find someone else!
Saburo looks quite smart!
Xu Chunshan opened his mouth to say something. As soon as he opened his mouth, before he could understand the words, Old Man Xu glared at him and swallowed them all.
As a father, you still don’t want your son to go to school? What the hell, fuck you!
Old man Xu withdrew his glare at the third child and then looked at the eldest and second child.
Xu Chunhe smiled loyally and said: "Liu Lang is smart and a good candidate for reading! You must read this book! Dad, don't worry, the three of us brothers, plus the three of Da Lang and the others, can all work! There are so many people.
, everyone, please work harder, and you won’t be afraid that you won’t be able to support a scholar like Liulang.”
Xu Chunlin didn't tell much truth, so he echoed: "Brother is right!"
Old man Xu knew his son well. After listening to what the two said, he nodded and told his family again what he had said to his family when he decided to send Liulang to study.
"Two generations back in our old Xu family, there have been scholars, but from here on down, there must be a scholar to be worthy of our ancestors, right?
Liulang is smart, and his teachers say he is good at reading. Let’s focus our efforts on one thing and support Liulang. When Liulang learns the Tao in the future, he will never forget his uncles and brothers!"
Xu Chunshan opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he held it back and could only mutter in his heart.
Even if it was his son who was being asked to sacrifice, he still felt it was unfair.
Why?
Why should my uncle, uncle, and brother work so hard for you to study alone?
Read the book and wait for your reply?
Who can predict what will happen in the future? But right now, you are the one taking advantage, and others are the ones suffering the consequences.
But he also understood that for a family like theirs, it would be a big deal for the whole family to be able to support one person to study.
Not to mention now, when he was a child in his previous life, his family was poorer and had many sons. Half of them had to live with the poor father. How could they go to school? He and his third and fourth brothers were crying and fussing to no avail. The family only had
If you can pay one person's tuition, it goes without saying that this quota belongs to the boss. Obviously he and the third child are not stupider than the boss!
But they didn’t have to read, so they had to work at a young age. Before they had grown up, they followed their father everywhere to paint dowry furniture for people. They were no taller than a cupboard, and they had to work on tiptoe. At the age of fifteen or sixteen,
I went to work far away from my hometown.
I have been working so hard for the boss to take advantage of me, just waiting to be able to take advantage of the boss in the future like my father said. But the boss is not good at doing a good job in the township government. He drank and went crazy. I don’t know.
Why is my brain so funny? I ran away as soon as I asked without any explanation. I left for more than ten years.
This is not enough, right? I will listen to my father and go looking for him later.
He is a good person. He has read so many years of books in vain. When he reaches middle age, he is picking up garbage and sleeping under an overpass!
It’s really a shame to have these brothers to help me at this time!
Therefore, he should not have been allowed to read this book back then!
Thinking about these past events, Xu Chunshan was a little confused for a while.
And Xu Chunhe and Xu Chunlin said in unison, "Liu Lang is smart and will be famous for reading! Let's work harder, what's the matter! As long as he can read, we will make sure that he can read with peace of mind!"
Xu Chunshan let out a low sigh.
At that time, he had some rebellions, but he couldn't stand in the way of his father's insistence and fists, so he had to endure it and provide for him honestly.
Xu Chunhe and Xu Chunlin didn't complain at all, they were very happy, and they really didn't know what to say.
I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just stop talking.
When the family of four went out to Uncle Zhang's house, Xu Chunshan slowed down.
"Xu Dajun."
Xu Dajun turned his head, "What are you doing, dad?"
"If you don't study well after you enter the school, I will break your legs! No matter how you study in the future, if you don't respect your eldest and second uncle, and are not good to your brothers, I will twist off your neck and kick it as a ball.
!”
Xu Dajun trembled: Dad! Do you want to be so cruel? I am your biological son!
Xu Chunshan continued: "You have an eldest brother, a second brother, a third brother, and four brothers. As long as you can go to school, you can be content! This man! No matter when it comes, you have to be conscientious, and ah, whatever you do
Before making any decision, think about the people standing behind you!"
Xu Dajun was slightly startled. He was not used to it. This was the first time that his father spoke to him so seriously.
Even when he failed in the college entrance examination, his father just said: "If you can study, you can't fail. I don't expect you to be a proud ancestor! With your sister doing well in the examination, I am already twice as proud!"
For a moment, Xu Dajun's heart was filled with mixed emotions that were difficult to describe.
