When Lao Zhoutou said this, he paused for a moment, then sighed and said: "If your mother and I get old in the future, this family will no longer be able to be a pawn for you, so what your mother and I mean is that we can take advantage of the opportunity now."
We are all still alive, and the family has some money, so why not share it and let you each learn to manage the house, so that if your mother and I are gone in the future, you brothers and sisters will not be in chaos."
Zhou Dalang and others were so moved that they were about to shed tears. Zhou Dalang spoke on behalf of all the brothers and sisters, "Dad, you are still young and will not grow old."
"Go away, I'm already this old, and you still think I can pull a plow for you." Old Zhoutou said, "I know better than you, old and young."
Brothers: ...I didn’t let you pull the plow, and now our family has oxen.
Lao Zhoutou took a moment, and then recovered his emotions after a while, "Although I am giving you the money, you are not allowed to spend it casually."
Old Zhoutou finally regained his momentum and pointed to Jiang Shan: "Boss, Datou is not young anymore. We are going to get married in a few years. There is also Da Ya. Although your mother and I are in charge now,
But they are your sons and your daughters, and you have to know them well, you know?"
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian nodded repeatedly to express their understanding and firmly stated that they would not spend money recklessly.
Lao Zhoutou was quite relieved about Dafang, then he looked at Zhou Erlang and sighed: "Second Tou is not like you. Otherwise, if he learns calculations from Man Bao, he might actually be able to work as an accountant in the county.
Now, it’s okay to be a daughter. Let Erya learn more. When you have money, you can also buy her something for her. It’s best to marry her to the county town in the future, and you can help her brothers later.”
Mrs. Feng was dumbfounded and thought, has anyone in their family married into the county? The word "ye"...
But Zhou Erlang was extremely smart and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Dad, I can still help take care of her sister-in-law when she goes to the county town."
Zhou Zhoulang used to think that it would be great if his younger sister could marry into the town, but after selling grain this time, he and his father agreed that his younger sister would definitely be able to marry into the county town!
Lao Zhoutou looked at Lao San and said: "Lao San, I think Si Tou is a very clever kid. It would be better for you to save money. Let him and his sister-in-law know more words first, and then they will grow up a little bit."
Son, if he is really smart, you should send him to school, do you understand?"
The key point was, "You send him there." Zhou Lang actually understood it. He glanced at his son first, and then responded: "Well, I listen to dad."
Old Zhou was satisfied.
Then he directly ignored Zhou Lang and summed it up directly: "Okay, even if your mother and I are no longer here, your brothers and sisters will still help each other. Da Lang, you are the eldest, and you have to lead the younger brothers and sisters under you.
.”
Zhou Dalang agreed.
Only then did Lao Zhoutou look at Zhou Lang and sighed repeatedly, "Fourth brother, you must learn from your third brother and don't spend it as soon as you have money. I really..." I really don't want to give you money.
Lao Zhoutou felt that giving the money to Lao Si and Man Bao was no different from taking it directly to spend outside.
The difference is that Man Bao can still hear the noise when he spends money, but when Zhou Lang spends money, he probably can't even see the shadow, let alone the noise.
Lao Zhoutou said: "You have a daughter-in-law and a son. Don't always think about asking your eldest sister to raise your child for you. You have to save money to raise it yourself, you know?"
Fang's eyes widened and she looked at Zhou Lang in confusion. What do you mean by asking the eldest sister to raise a child for them?
Zhou Lang almost choked to death on his own saliva. He coughed twice and shouted: "Dad, that, that was so many years ago. I was still young at that time, okay? Now I treasure my son.
"
Old Zhoutou said: "I see it, that's why I asked you to spend less money. I ask you, he hasn't had enough for a hundred days, why did you buy him so much fabric? And those fancy toys
, doesn’t cost money?”
Lao Zhoutou hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, "You only have a son and you are just spending time like this. What will happen next?"
Zhou Lang said coquettishly: "I, but I only have one son now, and the ones who come after me will use their brother's."
"So, I decided to give you less, and you just go with Lao Wu..."
Qian coughed, glared at him and interrupted him, saying: "The fourth child's expenses are a bit high, but the money is spent on his wife and children, so it's not considered a squandering. Let's just go with it."
It’s settled as agreed before.”
Although Zhou Lang didn't know how much his father and mother had promised before, he also heard it. He must have more than Lao Wu and the others who were not married!
But now his father wanted to get his money, so he nodded repeatedly and agreed with his mother's words.
Lao Zhoutou is not very happy, and Lao Si spends too much money...
Qian felt very relieved. Knowing how much he loved his wife and children, wouldn't the fourth child be able to save money in the future?
She glanced at Lao Zhou. This was something this man would never learn in his life. Speaking of it, Lao Si looked a bit like his brother-in-law.
Under Qian's insistence, Lao Zhoutou had no choice but to give in. The main reason was that he did not want to quarrel in front of the children. He felt that this would be too detrimental to his dignity.
There is nothing to say about the rest, because Zhou Xi has always kept his own money, while the money of Lao Wu and Lao Liu is all at Man Bao's. The two brothers occasionally take some money to the county town with Man Bao.
You can buy some delicious food here without spending a lot of money.
In the way of saving money, he has the style of Lao Zhoutou.
After finishing speaking, Lao Zhoutou began to divide the money. He touched the silver ingot in front of him reluctantly. After being silent for a while, he said: "Boss, you can give it to your younger brothers and sisters. You and the second, third, and third family members will share the money."
Five taels, the old man forty taels, and the rest, each five taels."
Qian then added: "Fourth brother, you have just gotten married and have only one son. The family is tired, so your father and I decided to give you ten taels, which is less than your three brothers. When you have more children in the future,
Naturally, it’s the same.”
Zhou Lang nodded happily, at least he didn't let his father deduct five taels, right?
Everyone in Lao Zhou's family was very happy. They really didn't expect that their parents would share the money with them.
When they got there and distributed the money to their brothers and sisters one by one, Wulang and Zuolang didn't hide the fact that Manbao was holding their money at all. They touched it for a long time after getting it in their hands, and Zuolang even secretly bit it with his teeth.
After buying a mouthful of silver ingots, he reluctantly handed them over to Man Bao for safekeeping.
Man Bao also took a tablet himself, laughing so hard that his eyes almost narrowed.
Most of the grandchildren looked envious. As grandchildren, they were not yet qualified to share the money, so they turned around and walked towards their parents, saying that they wanted to touch the silver ingots.
Zhou Dalang and his brothers generously distributed the silver ingots, letting them touch as much as they could but not biting them.
It's just touching, not too much, just enough for the children to learn a lot.
