Chapter 77 Help the third uncle re-establish his image
When Duan Hongxuan said this to Shazhu, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not easy for Yan Bugui. Only then did he really feel that the joke he just made about people being scheming was indeed a bit too much.
Now look at the third uncle standing there with red eyes.
Think about it again. He lives for the sake of his family. He often looks at himself carrying lunch boxes and talks to himself in a humble tone.
Now looking at the thin figure of the third uncle, I realize that he is really not easy, and I was no longer a thing before.
At this moment, Shazhu said to Yan Bugui sincerely: "Third uncle, now I apologize to you from the bottom of my heart!
What a bad mouth I have!
I just laughed at you for being calculating, but I really didn’t consider the actual situation of your family or your difficulties!
I'm really sorry, Third Uncle!"
Yan Bugui's eyes were red, and he waved his hand towards Silly Zhu, "It's okay, it's okay, this matter is over.
Don’t take it to heart anymore!”
Turning around, he said to Duan Hongxuan: "Hongxuan, thank you for your understanding, third uncle. Thank you very much!"
"Third uncle, you're welcome! Everyone should know about your family's situation.
I just told him in public, how can I deserve your thanks?
I haven’t finished what I said yet, please listen to it first!”
Yan Bugui was a little confused when he heard this. Isn't this finished yet? Why did he feel that he had nothing to say?
Okay, let’s listen to what Duan Hongxuan has to say.
Duan Hongxuan turned to Yan Jiecheng again: "Brother Jiecheng, I just said that as a neighbor in the courtyard, brother Zhuzi should know about your family's situation.
Then you shouldn’t laugh at the third uncle because he loves to scheme.
Because of this, I asked Brother Zhuzi to apologize to the third uncle!
You are the boss of your family, so you should know more about the situation of your family.
But why did I listen just now? You also have opinions on the third uncle’s scheming!
That’s even more inappropriate!
And I think what you mean is that your opinion has not been held for a day or two. You should have been discussing this matter with your younger brothers and sisters in private.
I’m afraid you’ve complained to your brothers and sisters a lot about this!”
When the Yan brothers and sisters heard this, they looked at each other guiltily and remained silent.
But when everyone saw the expressions on their siblings' faces, they knew that Duan Hongxuan was talking to them again.
Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat when he saw it. His children seemed to be complaining a lot in private. This was because they had a lot of opinions against him!
Duan Hongxuan looked at the brothers, smiled and continued: "You also heard the accounts I just settled for your family.
Everyone can see that you brothers and sisters complain a lot in private.
Judging from various performances, you are incompetent as a big brother, and you are even a serious dereliction of duty!
If you don’t like it, I have my reasons!
The third uncle supports your family’s life with an income below the per capita poverty line.
Others can laugh at him, but as a member of your family, you have no right to laugh at him.
In such a difficult situation, he didn’t let your family starve to death, which is already very difficult!
I heard that the third uncle is stingy. Everyone in your family has a quota for meals, and you are not allowed to turn around.
But the third uncle only gave you brothers and sisters a ration, didn't he and the third aunt have a ration?
Brother Jie Cheng, please answer."
Yan Jiecheng looked at his parents and replied sheepishly: "They also have quotas."
"That means the third uncle and the others don't treat each other differently.
For the Chinese New Year, do you have any peanuts, melon seeds, candies, etc. at home?
The third uncle was picking and swissing at you brothers and sisters, and they gave you a few pills, so did he and the third aunt hide in the house and eat them openly?"
Yan Jiecheng replied: "No, they are reluctant to eat it!"
"That means that when it comes to food, the third uncle doesn't do anything special just because he makes money.
He and the third aunt will eat whatever you eat. They will eat as much as you eat, and they may even eat less than you!
Some people are born fat, and some people are born thin, and they can’t get fat no matter how much they eat.
But when I look at your brothers’ body types, they don’t look like they’re inherited from a family of thin people.
But look at the third uncle, he is thin and dry. Compared with you, do they look like a family?"
The Yan brothers looked up and felt more and more embarrassed, feeling a little guilty for their father.
The youngest Yan Jiedi, because she is young and a girl, looks at her father with red eyes.
Duan Hongxuan continued: "Brother Xie Cheng, let me ask you again.
The four of you brothers and sisters are all in school, and you have already graduated from high school and are working.
You have to go to school, whether it’s tuition fees, what money the school has to pay, or you have to buy study supplies.
As long as it is related to your study, if you ask the third uncle for money, has the third uncle ever been stingy?"
The Yan brothers and sisters thought about it carefully and realized that no matter how stingy their father was, when it came to matters related to study, he had never had trouble asking for money!
After thinking about it, the eyes of the Yan brothers and sisters changed when they looked at their father.
Yan Jiecheng was even more embarrassed now. He hesitated for a long time before replying: "I just thought about it, but when it comes to studying, my dad has never said a word about paying for it!"
Duan Hongxuan enlarged his voice and said with emotion: "Yes, no matter how poor your family is, when it comes to your brothers and sisters' studies, the third uncle has never hesitated to pay for it, and he has never been stingy about it! <
/p>
Why? Because it concerns your future!
Look at how many brothers and sisters you have in your family. You have graduated from high school, and the second oldest child in your family is going to high school soon.
The third and fourth children are all in junior high school.
The third uncle took the money out of his mouth and tried every means to help you go to school.
Look at our street, how many families are better off than yours, but they don’t let their children go to school early and let them go to work to make money!
It’s not that children can’t learn, there are many children who are doing pretty well.
However, the family did not allow their children to go to junior high school after providing for them, so they found jobs for their children early so that they could earn money for the family!
The purpose is to reduce the burden on the family and make the adults at home less tired.
Has the third uncle ever asked you like this? No!
As long as you can learn and are willing to learn, the Third Master will always provide for you.
He gritted his teeth and endured it alone, and did not ask you to drop out of school and go to work to relieve him of some pressure.
I never said you should stop going to school after graduating from junior high school. Find a job as soon as possible to reduce the burden on your family so that he can relax.
If you, Yan Jiecheng, had not graduated from high school and only had a junior high school diploma, would you be able to have the job you have now?
I just started working now, so it’s nothing.
But going forward, there will be a big difference between graduating from high school and graduating from junior high school!
With a junior high school diploma, you will be a worker for the rest of your life.
But if you have a high school diploma, as long as you are diligent and willing to work hard, you may be able to work in an office in the future.
This is the foundation laid by the third uncle for your future.
A family of six, with average per capita below the poverty line, has no relief, and relies entirely on itself. It can still provide for four children to go to school.
If you search all over the streets, can you find the second one?"
Duan Hongxuan's words were so shocking that the onlookers around him were dumbfounded.
Yan Bugui's thin figure now became taller in everyone's eyes.
The shocked Yan brothers and sisters had their heads buzzing. They had never considered this issue before.
Duan Hongxuan said it today, and when I look at my father's thin figure, I feel panicked in my heart.
"After you brothers and sisters come home from school, in addition to eating and doing homework, you just play.
After the third uncle got off work, he had to use his spare time to find ways to increase the family's income.
So the third uncle went fishing.
Some people go fishing purely as a hobby and for leisure and entertainment.
The third uncle is not that leisurely. He fishes because he wants to add some income to the family and raise good children.
On such a hot day, the sun is shining brightly and the river water evaporates, making it sweltering and sultry.
Do you think it feels so good to fish by the river at this time!
But the third uncle has to endure it.
There are six mouths to eat and four children to go to school. What should he do if he can't bear it?
In winter, go to the river to make holes in the ice and go fishing.
When the wind blows, it's chilly to the bones!
But the third uncle still has to endure it.
He doesn’t get it either, so one of the four of you will have to miss school!
But he doesn't want to. For the sake of the children's future, he has to send you to school.
So he had to endure the biting cold wind and dig holes in the ice to fish!
So tell me how stressed he is, but has he ever complained in front of you?
A person's energy is limited, and his mind is full of worries and calculations about his family's life all day long.
Therefore, it is inevitable to neglect other things, and some things may not be considered.
You are a family, especially you, Yan Jiecheng, as the eldest son of the family. Not only do you not want to share the worries of the adults, but you complain behind your back.
You just scolded the third uncle in person for this matter, do you think it is appropriate?
