Not to mention that these two people have not worked in the fields all year round. Just now, each of them carried a basket of ten rabbits home from Gong Jian's house, which already made them tired and panting. What can they have at this time?
Use your strength to catch those jumping rabbits.
The two of them were busy catching things here and there for a long time, but their faces had a lot of scratches and their whole bodies were even more miserable.
Gong Jian's uncle lived in the Gong family's ancestral house, which was not the size of the several thatched houses of Gong Jian's family. The main courtyard consisted of five large tile-roofed houses, and there were also wing rooms on the east and west sides.
There used to be a backyard. The backyard used to be a large vegetable garden, but because no one had been taking care of it, it had long been abandoned and the ground was full of weeds. Nowadays, few people go there.
Went to the backyard.
At this time, Uncle Gong Jian and his wife worked hard for a long time, and they only caught two or three rabbits. The other rabbits had already disappeared from their sight, and they didn't know where they were hiding in the yard at this time.
at.
In this huge courtyard, the only sounds of the couple's rough breathing can be heard. At this time, they desperately hope that any of their children will be at home.
Gong Jian's eldest uncle and aunt's wife also have two sons and one daughter, but the difference is that in Gong Jian's family, the eldest is a daughter, followed by two sons.
Their eldest daughter has long been married. Although the daughter was still in her natal family, she was never valued by her parents. Uncle Gong Jian and his wife are very patriarchal and have not been very fond of their eldest daughter since she was a child. Not only did they treat the following
The sons were left to the eldest daughter, and the housework at home was also taken over early by the eldest daughter.
But she has always been oppressed by her natal family, and it can only be said that her genes are powerful. Their eldest daughter is completely the younger version of Gong Jian's mother-in-law, and she has been a tyrant in the village since she was a child.
Fortunately, at that time, because Uncle Gong Jian and his mother-in-law were greedy for gifts, they married their daughters far away. Therefore, after the eldest daughter got married, she was rarely able to return to her parents' home. Although the eldest daughter was here, the reputation in her husband's village was really high.
Bad, but these things rarely reach Chenjiacun.
Uncle Gong Jian and his mother-in-law, after marrying off their daughter, they just threw away the water and paid little attention to it, so the two families had very little contact with each other.
As for Uncle Gong Jian’s eldest son, he was also sent to a private school by his father and studied for several years. However, he was not a good student at all. So after studying for several years, in addition to being able to write some basic calligraphy
, he doesn’t know how to write any articles, poems, let alone take exams for fame.
Uncle Gong Jian certainly hopes that his son can succeed. But the teachers in the private school in the village have approached him many times and asked him to take his son back. Because the child not only cannot study, but also causes trouble in the school.
The eldest son of the eldest uncle's family often takes the older children with him and makes mischief with the younger ones. The teachers in the private school regard him as a black sheep.
So in the end, there was really no other way. Uncle Gong Jian finally couldn't bear the threats from his husband. He had a younger son in his family. But his husband said that if they didn't take their eldest son home from the private school,
From now on, his youngest son will not be able to study in a private school.
Under such oppression, Uncle Gong Jian finally stopped sending his eldest son to a private school. Uncle Gong Jian even asked his brother, Gong Jian's father, to give him to his eldest son in the town.
The son sought a position as an apprentice accountant in a shop.
At that time, Gong Jian's father was not injured or sick. He often worked in the town, so he knew a lot of people. And because Gong Jian's father was hard-working, honest and trustworthy, people who met him inevitably had two opinions.
Three points of favor. It is not difficult to arrange a job for his nephew as an accounting apprentice.
But no matter what, the palace father finally sent the eldest son of the uncle's family to the accounting office through a favor. But after that man became an apprentice, he had to rely entirely on the child's own efforts.
As for the son of Uncle Gong Jian's family, he certainly lives up to their family's fine traditions. Even after working as a bookkeeper's apprentice for several years, he still hasn't made any progress at all.
His eldest son felt that after living in the town for a few years, he was completely different from the mud-legged people in the village. Therefore, he began to be absent from work from time to time, and even mingled with some idlers in the town.
After that, he even hooked up with a young widow in the town. He never went back to Chenjiacun again.
Because of this incident, Gong Jian's father suffered. His aunt complained for several years. She said that the masters he introduced to his son were all evil-hearted masters. He had enslaved his son for several years, but he was really capable.
He never gave him a son, not even a penny.
That is to say, the aunt dared to say it. In fact, even though her son was paid wages when he was an apprentice in the first year, he could not afford the money. It was not enough for him to spend on himself, so how could he get it back?
Home, for his parents.
Later, his eldest son hooked up with a young widow in the town. The widow still had quite a lot of assets, so their eldest son quit his job as a bookkeeper's apprentice.
In fact, the old accounting clerk had long thought about kicking him out. The old gentleman had been working as an accounting clerk for decades, and he had never seen an apprentice with such poor qualifications who didn't concentrate on his studies.
He has been taught this for several years, but he can't even understand it if he is asked to read an account book independently, let alone asking him to collect and make accounts. It is simply a dream.
But his eldest son did not feel that he was kicked out by others. Instead, he felt that this temple could not accommodate his big Buddha. You must know that he now has no worries about eating and drinking. He can still be with the little widow occasionally.
Save some personal money and go out for some fancy drinks.
The little widow also knew this man's temperament very well, and she would never put big money in his hands. If this man wanted to go back to the village to see his parents, the little widow would not stop him, but she would reach out to get money from her.
, buy some things for her parents, she doesn't do this kind of loss-making business.
Fortunately, this man is also heartless. He has no intention of returning to the village to visit his parents. If he has a few money in his hand, it will not be enough for him to eat, drink and have fun.
As for Uncle Gong Jian’s youngest son, he is the same age as Gong Jian this year. Since the eldest son is studying in a private school in the village for several years, he has not achieved any results. When the younger son can enter school, Uncle Gong Jian
The couple gritted their teeth and sent their youngest son to a private school in the town. (To be continued)
