Tongtong looked at the fourth master. The fourth master put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his hand to answer the phone. However, Jin Mingming rushed over and said, "Grandpa, my mother is teaching me "Encouragement to Learn" today..."
There was a hint of smile in Lin Shuangchao's voice, "Have you learned? Have you learned it?"
Jin Mingming squatted on the side and spoke into the microphone, "If you don't climb a mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't go to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is. Grandpa, this is what I learned today!"
Well done! Do you know what it means?
Jin Mingming nodded, "I know. My mother hasn't said it yet, but I thought about it, it means that if you don't climb the mountain, you don't know how high the mountain is; if you don't go to the deep valley, you don't know how thick the ground is. Going further.
To put it more profoundly, if you don’t work hard to study and study, you will never know how vast the unknown is.”
Hmm! Pretty much the same, that’s what it means.
But Jin Mingming followed up by saying, "Grandpa, I'm wondering if there is something else to this."
What does it mean?
Jin Mingming gave up, "That day I climbed to the water tower of the reservoir, and it was very high. From above, you can see that our village is actually higher in the east and lower in the west. After I came down, I told Xiuxiu and the others, I said
The east side is higher and the west side is lower, but they all said it was wrong! It means that when you go to the east alley tomorrow, there is a downward slope. I didn't argue with them, because I was right and they were also right. They said that I
Wrong, that’s because they didn’t stand as high as the water tower. We don’t climb mountains, we don’t know how high the sky is!”
Lin Shuangchao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. The child said a great truth in children's language. The level of thinking there is different, and the gains must be different. Children all know that this difference in cognition cannot be blamed, nor can they blame it.
There is no need to argue, so why should you blame yourself, and what do you have to argue with?
He said, "You should be rewarded for thinking that way! But you should be punished for climbing the reservoir yourself and climbing so high! Please write down the advice you will learn today three more times!"
Jin Mingming: "..." It is true that adults cannot be friends. The result of inequality in status is not what she wants. She hummed and said "I know", and then hesitated.
Yes, I went to write.
The fourth master then answered the phone and called: "Dad..."
"Sihai!" Lin Shuangchao's voice sounded much better, "Are you at home?"
"Yes!" Fourth Master responded. The caring uncle didn't take it seriously. There was no need to talk about that topic any further. He changed the subject, "I just said that I could go to the provincial capital in a few days! There are some improvements in forging, and I want to test them.
one time……"
"If it's not the weekend, you can come directly to the office. If you don't have any plans to go out recently, you'll be in the office if you're not at home."
good!
After chatting for a few more words, they hung up the phone. Lin Shuangchao's expression became much gentler. Wu Xiuzhen smiled and said, "The noodles are boiled. Mix them with sesame sauce. How about a bowl?"
Okay! Have a bowl.
Wu Xiuzhen called to the nanny: "Xiao Zhang, pour some sesame sauce on it and bring a plate of kimchi that Xiao Tong brought up."
With the bowl in his hand, Lin Shuangchao mixed the noodles and whispered, "If Yulian calls, don't tell her that I'm angry."
Wu Xiuzhen poured a glass of water and put it next to her, "Yulian has a gentle temperament and is not very interested in outside things. She is different from Yurong and Xiaotong."
Lin Shuangchao grabbed the chopsticks and paused, "Yurong...or was she transferred to the Textile and Textile Bureau?"
"Well, for the trade union leaders and female cadre representatives in the factory, there must be a certain proportion of women in each unit. This transfer is normal." Wu Xiuzhen said, then interrupted and asked, "Are you jealous?"
Lin Shuangchao sighed, "Yurong, my ambition is mine, but my temperament is mine."
Wu Xiuzhen continued to interrupt, "...Didn't I ask when Yucai will come back? Well... Sihai said he was coming, right? Will he take care of the children? Will Xiaotong come? Can you leave Mingming for us to go to school in the provincial capital?
?”
"It's good for children to stay with their parents. No matter how rare it is, it's not appropriate to be raised by another generation."
Wu Xiuzhen sat on the edge and passed the kimchi plate forward, feeling a little worried. Yurong always thought about sending her son to go to the government kindergarten here. But Lao Lin didn't seem to want to agree.
When she didn't say anything, Lin Shuangchao knew, "Yurong still wants to let the child come over?"
Yes! “The kindergarten here is in good condition!”
Lin Shuangchao's meal was tasteless, "What era is it now? It's not the time when the emperor was the emperor, there was still a wife who had a wife and a wife, and was rich for three generations. Xiaotong didn't want the child to come, she said she couldn't have the child.
Dislocation in identity recognition, is this wrong? How good can a good kindergarten be? How bad can a bad one be? If the difference is not big, why should we add such risks to the growth process of children? You can get
Ask her this, and if she still insists, then she will be sent to her. However, Xiao Zhang's housework is her job, so don't push the childcare to others. In addition, her parents-in-law have taken care of the child for several years, and it is their job.
Those who are brought up by one hand should consider other people’s feelings.”
Got it! Got it! "You can still talk to Sihai and Xiaotong well now, but you can't bear to deal with the other people."
That’s why they are the most sensible!
The old couple chatted for a while, and Lin Shuangchao went to see the old lady. Seeing that she was sleeping very well, she went to rest.
Wu Xiuzhen then secretly called Tongtong, "...your eldest sister has a weak temper and is on guard against conflicts between the couple over this..."
"Okay! I'll give my brother-in-law a call later. It's all a trivial matter and not worth taking seriously."
Aren't you afraid that your eldest sister-in-law will be too thoughtful? Wu Xiuzhen said again, "You really don't want to send me the child? If you don't, your second sister will send it to me. Shanshan is not going to kindergarten. Your second sister is not."
Said that the kindergarten over there is not as good as the institutional kindergarten..."
Lin Yutong laughed, "It's such a big factory, and all the teachers in it are from their own factory. How bad can the conditions be? The child has to adapt to such a sudden change of environment. She's just messing around. If I don't send my child there, she will send her."
deliver."
Yang Shuhui felt her heart heat up after hearing this, and waited until she hung up the phone before saying, "Although your father and I can't bear to part with our children... but if it's for their education, it's okay to send them to us. In our school... the teachers are really not good! Many of them are...
I just graduated from junior high school, what can I teach my children?”
That's not the case! Lin Yutong said, "With my father's current position, if the child goes there, the teacher will definitely give him some preference. The child will develop a mentality that I am superior to others in everything. But
Many of the children who go to school there have parents with lower-level positions, and are not even in leadership positions... But what about the future? The parents of other children are on the road to success, but what about my dad? He will eventually retire. Unless
At that time, my second sister or my second brother-in-law walked very far, otherwise... how to adjust the child's psychology! The high position, high above, but when you get older, the position is upside down... Is it a blessing or a curse? I
Now that dad is here, how can he not want his children and grandchildren to come around and play with them? But it is because of these worries that he doesn’t pull his children close to him. Looking back, I have to talk about my second sister."
"It's useless to say it!"
The next day Yulian came and talked about sending the child to his parents. Yulian said this, "Your second sister... I talked to her on the phone before and mentioned this matter. I said why bother bothering the old man and the child?
Well, but she believes that when the child is sent there, he or she is influenced by it, and the people he comes into contact with will naturally have different effects on the child's behavior."
This is not unreasonable! Okay, let’s not mention this matter.
Lin Yutong held her son in her arms and sat at the side door talking to Yulian.
Yulian went to pick some vegetables and planned to take them back to the county town. While busy, she talked to Tongtong, "When your brother-in-law came back and told me, I complained to him all the time. I asked him if he wanted to give Lin Shuangchao
Want to be a son-in-law? Or do you want to be a son-in-law to a leader? If you want to be a son-in-law to Lin Shuangchao, then be less fussy. He will be a son-in-law the way he wants to be! If you want to be a son-in-law to a leader, then divorce him. It depends on him.
Just marry whomever you want, I'm afraid I won't be suitable for him."
Lin Yutong laughed, "Did you scare your brother-in-law?!"
Yu Lian brought some green vegetables and said, "Aren't you scared? You didn't fall asleep all night last night. I regret it so much."
What's even scarier! Lei Zhiping whispered to Fourth Master in the factory, "Our system has a business ability training class. This time I heard that it means that my name is included. This means that I will be transferred to Pingzhou to study."
One year.”
This is a good thing. "It proves that our father-in-law has not annoyed you."
"But it has just reached the promotion stage, and I was transferred to study." Lei Zhiping said, "I haven't moved here in five years."
The fourth master said, "If you want to move up the level, you have to move your position. Where business ability is required, you have great power, but also great responsibility."
Lei Zhiping sighed and said nothing more.
After sending Lei Zhiping and his wife away, the fourth master went home. He still walked home at the same time every day, and Tongtong stood in the alley with his child in his arms, looking this way.
The Fourth Master laughed, "How can you still throw me away?"
So who knows?! I feel like I still need to find a few reliable people to follow.
Fourth Master supported the car, picked up the child, and took Tongtong home. It was already very late in the west of the sun for people going to work, but for farmers going to the fields, it was still early.
Therefore, there was no one at home and no one in the alley.
The fourth master sat on the chair and whispered about Lei Zhiping being assigned to study, "It's not only a matter of his business ability, but also because he has a tendency to follow the wind. This is the most serious thing! This
In the past two years, the ideological trend has been a bit wrong. If he is transferred away, it will save him from following the wind in order to gain camp. That would be a bad thing."
Lin Yutong understood, "That means, actually, now is not a good time to start a business."
Right! Now is not a good time to start a business. We have to make a good transition for two or three years while maintaining our status quo.
Understand! Without the spring thunder of reform, you won’t be able to fly even if you put on your wings.
Rather than fussing like that, it's better to accumulate strength and just wait.
In the past two or three years, it has been slow to say it was slow, but it has been really fast to say it was fast.
It really just passed in the blink of an eye.
In 1990, in August of the Gregorian calendar, the children were still in summer vacation. Early in the morning, Tongtong shouted: "Jin Mingming, where did you go again?"
Jin Mingming came back with a big winter melon, "Sister Xiuxiu asked me to get a winter melon."
Eight | nine-year-old Jin Mingming is almost 1.6 meters tall. He has a tall and lanky figure. If he doesn't hold the winter melon, he has to put it on his head. Look at the clothes rubbing against him. "Change the short sleeves on your body."
Come on, what do you look like wearing when you go out?"
Jin Mingming put down the winter melon, pushed it, told the winter melon to roll into the kitchen, and then ran away to change clothes.
The fourth master carried two bags of things, and Tongtong carried a golden mace that was still holding a little book to read, and stuffed them into Xiali's car.
Yes! This car was added in the past two years. It is much more convenient to have a car. After she got into the passenger seat, Jin Mingming jumped into the car.
Lin Yutong was busy telling her mother-in-law, "The electric fan in the house is not turned off. Please turn it off."
Got it! Go ahead. It’s really hard for you to go out. I haven’t left yet since I shouted in the morning.
Fourth Master started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and got out.
Sister-in-law Tao asked, "What's going on? Whose family has a happy event and went to celebrate?"
Yang Shuhui shook her fan and said, "It's Yucai who came back from the army. The provincial capital called and said that he was ten years old and he had to go back to see him."
Yo! That kid has been in the military for so many years and hasn’t come back yet?!
"No, I have been in the frontline troops." Yang Shuhui said, patting her thigh, "Look! I forgot, I didn't bring a kettle for the child."
Yes! When we left town, I remembered that I didn’t bring a kettle.
Lin Yutong took the little book from Jin Mace's hand and said, "Reading in the car hurts your eyes."
Then Jin Kuai sat on his seat, upright and said, "Mom, I want to drink water."
I didn’t bring a kettle. The county town is just ahead. I’ll be there in a moment. There is water at your aunt’s house. Come over and drink.
Jin Mace said again: "Mom, I need to pee."
You must have done it on purpose! I asked you to take the little book, but you didn’t say anything about drinking water or peeing. I just collected it from you, and you wanted to drink and pee at the same time. It was really frustrating.
Jin Mingming shouted out of the car: "The popsicle seller, wait a minute..."
The popsicle seller who was riding on his bicycle with a wooden box in front of him was stopped by someone. The fourth master had to stop. Then Jin Mingming grabbed his mace and asked him to urinate. He took the change and bought two popsicles.
The one finished urinating on the roadside, and this one was also bought. One after another, they climbed into the car, each had a popsicle, and sipped them.
Is it dangerous to eat a popsicle while sipping on such a bumpy road? What should I do if the stick of the popsicle pierces my throat if I dodge?
The fourth master had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road and eat! After eating, he left. Jin Mingming bit the popsicle loudly, then grabbed his brother's and asked, "Are you still thirsty?"
No!
Jin Mingming finished his brother's in two mouthfuls. In less than two minutes, he put away the popsicles and patted his father's backrest, "Let's go! That's it."
I could dawdle at home, but when I arrived at Yulian's house, there were only three of them, and they were still dawdling. One moment they were looking for fans, the other they were sun hats. Lei Zhiping urged her urgently, but Yulian still complained that she had forgotten to bring the wind oil.
He said, "The motion sickness one is easy to use. Wait for me and I'll take it again."
The co-pilot asked Lei Zhiping to sit, while Lin Yutong and Yu Lian sat in the second row. The three children in the last row were just right.
Thunderbolt was smaller than Mingming and bigger than Jinmai. He was holding a toy gun in his hand, and the three of them were chattering without knowing what they were talking about.
On the way, Yulian asked, "How old is Yucai this year? He's twenty-eight, right?"
Tongtong did the math and found that in 1980, the original person was nineteen and Yucai was eighteen.
It’s ninety years old, I am twenty-nine, and Yucai is twenty-eight, right?
Lei Zhiping said, "I have been working here for five years, right? I have been promoted very quickly in the past few years. Do you know where I will be assigned?"
have no idea!
"The future is limitless!" Lei Zhiping said, "I haven't been around much in the past few years. I have been working in the security field for two years. My mother-in-law and mother are doing all these trivial things all day long."
Yu Lian thought it was great, "Isn't it great to deal with fights, investigate gambling, and criticize and educate petty thefts?"
I really think about it! It’s pretty good. Where can I get better?
Yu Lian didn't want to argue with him anymore in front of her sister about this, so she changed the subject and asked Tong Tong, "The TV series on TV now is originally written by you, right? I saw someone say that it was adapted from Xiao Tong's original novel.
.”
That’s it! It was a little slow to pass the review, so it was allowed to be broadcast.
Yu Lian nodded, "Yes! This matter has been causing trouble in the past two years... Your brother-in-law's granddaughter was admitted to a technical secondary school a few years ago, but she said she was going to graduate last year, and she followed those students around and ended up graduating.
I can't decide on my job... I asked your brother-in-law for help. She studied medicine, and your brother-in-law is in the security field... They are not even close to each other! They came to the door with a thousand yuan, what does it mean? I confiscated it, and the result
I offended people. My mother-in-law nagging me for a long time..."
There’s no need to harp on that, you’re excellent in everything, that’s easy to say! If you have a degree, just don’t let others take your place.
She has not been treated unfairly. All arrangements are in compliance with regulations. How can anyone interfere?
This is what is difficult for someone to do!
We talked along the way and stopped by the provincial capital to deliver the things for Shuangquan. Today is the weekend and Shuangquan is at home. He lives in the house under Jinyin's name.
Zheng Nanru repeatedly gave in: "How can you reach the door of your house and not go in?"
Tongtong shouted to Shuangquan, "No way, my parents are waiting over there. Maybe next time!"
Shuangquan wanted to hold on to his golden ace and said to Jin Mingming: "When your parents leave, can you two siblings live with your aunt?"
Jin Kuai kissed Shuangquan and said, "Aunt, come back with me. Grandma misses her."
Shuangquan's heart almost melted.
Jin Mingming shouted again: "Let's come over when we go back. If aunt has something for grandma, we can take it back."
become!
It was easy to get away. The two sisters talked about the Shuangquan family along the way. Anyway, it was developing very smoothly and everything was stable. Stable means that there was no regression, but very little progress.
On the other hand, Yurong has been developing very smoothly in the past few years! Zhengke is already in his hands.
The car stopped at the door, and a tall young man came out to greet him. Who else could he be if he wasn't Yucai?
It's just that the imprint in my mind is the shadow of a young boy, and now, he has become a mature young man.
Even Lin Yutong was slightly surprised by this encounter and glanced sideways at Jin Mingming.
Jin Mingming had already squeezed out and got out of the car, standing upright like her uncle.
Yucai looked at the shadow reflected on the car glass, and then looked at the naughty little girl. He was also stunned, and then he laughed, "My nephew looks like my uncle! As expected!" He raised his hand to hug his niece, but this niece was so
He's high, how can he hold him?
Jin Mingming didn't know what it meant to recognize a student, so he jumped onto her uncle's back and hung on her!
Yucai was stunned for only a moment, and then the smile spread on his face! After ten years of separation, even siblings are strangers! But when this child ran around like this, hugged his neck like this, he instantly felt that the battlefield was
The smoke of gunpowder cleared, and he really went home...
