The village chief took a puff of his cigarette and sighed silently.
He knows exactly what kind of people are out there.
I went out to sell meat some time ago, so you can see it.
Those city people are very cunning.
However, as he looked at the lively little face in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Maybe Fubao is treated differently!
This child is very likable and lucky, and has many opportunities to encounter good things.
Thinking of this, the village chief said, "Fubao is blessed, and our village has also benefited from it. Let's go back to the city and keep an eye out. If there is a shortage of people, tell people. Our village has no shortage of children. We have smart and strong children. We have all kinds of children we need."
Tian Chengcheng's mouth twitched.
It feels like kidnapping a child.
"They said they need two people. The store still has business, so we need someone to look after it." Tian Chengcheng actually didn't want Hu Zi to learn tailoring, as it would be a waste of talent.
"Oh, two? Let me think, who else is suitable to go?" The village chief's face was almost smiling.
"Sister Yindi from Aunt Wang's family." Fubao said.
Because the little original owner rarely went out, she didn't know many people, but she remembered the three daughters of Aunt Wang, who lived next door.
The eldest sister is honest and simple, the second sister is a little smarter, and the third sister is also honest and about the same age as her.
From the names of the three sisters, you can tell to what extent the family favors boys over girls.
The three sisters had a hard life at home, but at least they had their biological father, and Aunt Wang protected them, so they never had anything to eat. Feeling sorry for little Fubao, she would occasionally secretly give her a piece of steamed bun or a vegetable dumpling.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance.
In view of the fact that the three sisters helped Xiao Fubao in his time of need, Tian Chengcheng decided to lend them a hand.
Let their foolish father see that daughters are no worse than sons.
The village chief was a little hesitant. He looked at Hu Zi. They were both seventeen or eighteen years old. A boy and a girl living under the same roof. If gossip got out, it would be bad for the girl.
"Fubao, you are still young and there are some things you don't understand. The old tailor over there is an old man. It's okay for your brother Hu Zi to go there. Why don't you find a boy from the village?" The village chief discussed.
Very embarrassed.
There were some things he had to consider.
Tian Chengcheng then realized the village chief's concerns and said with a smile, "Grandpa Wang has many houses. He said that if the boy goes there, he can live with him in the inner and outer rooms. There's also a private room for the girl! Village chief, I think it would be perfect to bring my younger sister over. She can even take care of the cooking."
The village chief thought about it and it made sense.
You can't let the master cook for two apprentices.
Boys are not good at cooking.
He puffed on his pipe and felt worried.
The village chief's wife said, "Fubao said they want to live separately, so why are you still worried? Besides, Yindi is honest and capable, but she just has a bad fate. If she goes out and makes money and becomes more independent, her father will be able to live in peace."
There are a few families in the village that are very troublesome.
Tian Laosan is one family, and Wang Da Niang is also one family. It’s hard to describe the men in the family.
The village chief agreed to this matter and went out with Tian Chengcheng and Fu Xinhan. He went to Aunt Wang's house.
Fu Xinhan asked, "Fubao, when did Grandpa Wang say he would give me ten yuan?"
"No, we'll do it," Tian Chengcheng said. "Look at all that fabric. How much money can we make? We need to teach them how to use sewing machines. We'll open our own factory someday. We won't do the complicated stuff, but at least we'll be able to make sheets."
Fu Xinhan looked at Tian Chengcheng as if he had seen a treasure.
The two of them got the job done smoothly.
Things were not going well for Tian Hengyuan. Tian Xin ran out crying. After returning, Li Qiuju scolded her in a sarcastic tone. Although it was not as harsh as the scolding she gave to Tian Chengcheng, it was not much nicer either.
Tian Xin felt so wronged.
Tian Laosan couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, why do you scold the kids every day? I'll do it."
"You do it, you do it. If you have the ability, you can do it." Li Qiuju instantly shifted her target and started scolding Tian Laosan.
The most common word is "coward".
After the last lesson, she didn't dare to scold the old lady again.
Tian Hengyuan couldn't bear to listen any longer and shouted, "Third brother, the village chief wants you to come over."
Tian Laosan walked away with his sleeves tucked in. Although he was used to being scolded, he was still annoyed.
As soon as he went out, he met the village chief. Li Qiuju was still scolding him from behind. Tian Laosan was even more embarrassed and couldn't help but retort.
"Those bear girls are always talking nonsense all day long. They have nothing to do."
Li Qiuju rushed out and saw the village chief. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, turned back to the house, and started scolding Tian Xin again. As she was scolding, she saw the meat bun in Tian Xin's hand.
"Where did you get these buns? You little girl, you're eating them all by yourself. You'll be stuffed to death." He snatched them away and turned to give them to Zhuangzhuang. "Son, eat them quickly. You're the pillar of our family. Your sister is eating them for nothing."
Zhuangzhuangpi is not afraid of being scolded, but he also has a good heart.
"Mom, stop scolding my sister. Sister Fubao said that we can't curse people or use bad words. We should look like cultured people." Zhuangzhuang said.
Li Qiuju was overjoyed when she heard her son's words. "Oh, our Zhuangzhuang is amazing! He even wants to be an educated person! Great! You can go to school in the fall and get in through the cracks in Old Tian's door. If your uncle can get into college, you can definitely get in too. The future of our family's glory depends on you."
Tian Xin stood aside and became anxious when she saw that Li Qiuju's words and actions did not indicate that she intended to let her go to school.
"Mom, I want to go to school too."
"Why are you going? Look at which girl in our village goes to school? Just learn how to work at home. When you marry someone else, you will belong to that family." Li Qiuju said.
Tian Xin started crying again.
"Mom, you used to say I was smarter than my brother, that I had more potential than him, and that you wanted us to go to school together."
"That was in the past. That little bastard used to do all the housework. But now that she's gone and you're going to school, who's going to do the housework?"
Li Qiuju has a habit of swearing, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't swear for a day.
In the past, I could scold Fubao and love my own son and daughter.
But now that Fubao is gone, she can only choose her son.
"Mom, you do it. Sister Fubao said she'll go to school in the fall, too. Every child should go to school. Knowledge can change one's destiny."
Li Qiuju poked him on the forehead. "She keeps calling me Sister Fubao. Are her words like imperial decrees? I think you want to piss off your mother to death."
Zhuangzhuang dodged, split the meat bun in half, and handed half to Tian Xin, "Sister, let's eat it together."
Before Tian Xin could reach out her hand, Li Qiuju snatched it away and said, "You little bastard, you don't even show respect to your mother with a meat bun." Then she stuffed it directly into her mouth.
The meat buns are so delicious!
Tian Xin was very angry.
Zhuangzhuang snorted, broke the meat bun in his hand into two pieces, and stuffed half directly into Tian Xin's mouth, "Sister, eat quickly."
Tian Xin looked at Zhuangzhuang's dirty hands with disgust in her eyes.
But I still ate it.
She did this just to spite herself with Li Qiuju.
She had to go to school anyway.
Li Qiuju snorted, "Look at how angry you are. I raised you, but you've created a grudge against me? Look at your brother. He's so good to you. Don't forget your brother."
