Chapter 183 There is something wrong with my thinking
Zhao Changying also took out the shoes, silk scarves, cold cream, and cigarettes that Yu Hui had bought and distributed them to everyone.
Tian Ying held the silk scarf and vanishing cream, and a smile finally appeared on her face. She had wanted a silk scarf for a long time.
She bought this silk scarf from a large state-owned store in the provincial capital. It is much better than her second sister's.
Wang Mei grumbled in her heart that the youngest son and his wife were stingy. When the mother-in-law took the children there, she took so many things, but they only allowed them to bring back so few things.
Gu Yangyang remembered that he still had the milk candy given by Brother Dongdong in his pocket. He wanted to take it out to eat, but he touched a piece of paper instead.
He took it out and saw that it was two dollars.
"Why do I have two dollars in my pocket?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Yang's hand.
Tian Ying quickly took the money from Yaoer's hand and took a look. "It really is two yuan."
Seeing that his brother had money in his pocket, Gu Bin also reached into his own pocket to feel around.
"Yeah, I have two in my pocket too."
Gu Qiuye: “…”
I don't have it in my pocket, do I?
With this thought in mind, Gu Qiuye reached into the side pocket of her dress.
Sure enough, I touched the thing, took it out and saw that it was five dollars.
More than my two younger brothers.
"Oh, Qiuye, yours is five dollars." Gu Qiuyu said in surprise.
Gu Qiuye looked at the money in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
"It must have been given to us by our mother. At the train station, she straightened our clothes and patted our pockets. It must have been put in our pockets at that time."
Tian Ying took the two yuan from Gu Bin's hand and reached out to take the five yuan from her daughter's hand.
Her three children went to the city and were given nine dollars and a new set of clothes. The trip was well worth it.
Zhao Changying frowned at her third daughter-in-law and said, "That's what Xiaohui gave to Qiuye. Don't take it away. You're already a grown-up girl about to go to high school. You need to have some money on you."
Xiaohui must have been thinking about Qiuye going to high school, so she gave her five dollars.
Tian Ying paused as she took the money. "What do you mean by high school?"
"Qiuye is in high school." Zhao Changying said.
"Not many people in our town can get into high school, but our Qiuye did. That proves that Qiuye has great potential. We must let her go. Let her go to high school and take the college entrance exam, so that our Gu family can also have a college graduate."
Gu Hai frowned and said, "It costs a lot of money to go to high school."
Instead of giving the money to Qiuye to go to high school, why not keep it for Binbin and Yangyang to study and get married in the future?
"So what if it costs money? Our Gu family can afford it. I've made up my mind. Qiuye must go to high school." Zhao Changying said firmly.
"Changying, why do you, a little girl, need to read so many books? No matter how much you read or how promising you are, they will belong to other people's families." Gu Pingshan's cousin-in-law looked at Zhao Changying and said.
"That's right, a girl just needs to know a few words. What's the point of reading so many books?"
Others followed suit.
Tian Ying nodded in agreement.
She didn't want her daughter to continue studying in high school. Since she was still young, she should find a job as soon as possible. She could earn money for a few years and save it for her two daughters' education, marriage, and house renovation.
When the next generation gets married, this house will definitely not be big enough for them to live in. We will have to divide the family and build another house.
Zhao Changying looked at her cousin's wife angrily and said, "Qiuhua from your family is also a little girl. Sooner or later, she will belong to someone else's family. Why are you still raising her? Are you going to send her to someone else's family now?"
“…” My cousin’s wife choked.
"Now men and women are equal, and women can hold up half the sky. What else are you saying? You're saying that girls are from other families. This is called favoring boys over girls, don't you know? Now it's New China, and you still hold on to those feudal ideas. You have a problem with your thinking." Zhao Changying said with disdain.
In the past few years, many people have suffered because of their ideological problems. Now, when I hear the words "ideological problems", I still feel nervous.
"Do you know how good it is to be a college student? Nowadays, college students don't have to pay tuition, and they're assigned jobs after graduation. But those are usually cadre jobs. Only a short-sighted person would say that studying so much is pointless."
Tian Ying: I felt like I was being scolded.
"You talk as if your Qiuye will definitely be able to get into college just because he finishes high school." Old Mrs. Wang, who has always been at odds with Zhao Changying, said with a pout.
Zhao Changying: "It's better than your grandson not even being able to get into high school."
Old Lady Wang: “…”
Killing people is heartbreaking.
Gu Pingshan smoked a cigarette and said, "Qiuye passed the exam. If you can study and want to study, then go ahead. It's not a bad thing to learn more."
Anyway, my family can afford it.
As soon as Gu Pingshan opened his mouth, the matter was basically settled. There would be no more changes in Gu Qiuye's high school education.
The Gu family was about to have dinner, and the villagers who came to watch the fun dispersed.
The Gu family had dinner in silence.
The people in the second and third rooms have their own thoughts.
At night, Wang Mei tossed and turned in bed.
Gu Hai couldn't sleep because of her noise, and said in a bad mood: "Are you still going to sleep?"
"Second brother, I can't sleep." Wang Mei turned over and faced Gu Hai. "Think about it, none of our children from either family went to high school. Why should we support Qiuye to go to high school? We also have a share of the public high school's money. Isn't this using our money to support Qiuye?"
Gu Hai said impatiently: "Our child didn't go to high school. Wasn't it because there was so much chaos in the past few years? Didn't he barely attend classes in junior high and high school?"
"It's different now. She can go to college again, and Qiuye has been admitted to high school. If she wants to go, let her go."
"We are using our money to support her high school education!" Wang Mei emphasized.
"Mom and Dad have already made the decision, what else can you do? Want to split up the family?"
Wang Mei was reluctant to split the family, because the youngest had to send money to the two elders every year. If the family was divided now, the money the youngest had sent to the two elders would not be shared by them in the future.
"If we all oppose Qiuye going to high school, Mom and Dad will definitely reconsider. I'll talk to my eldest sister-in-law tomorrow, and you go talk to my eldest brother."
Needless to say, the third son and his wife only have their two sons in their hearts, and they certainly don't want Qiuye to waste money to go to high school.
Gu He pulled the quilt over his head, turned over and faced Wang Mei, "I won't go and tell her. If you want to tell her, go by yourself."
"Why are you like this..." Wang Mei was almost angry to death.
The next morning, Wang Mei went to find her sister-in-law who was cooking in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, I don't think it's possible for Qiuye to go to high school. None of our children have ever gone to high school. They stopped studying after graduating from junior high school. How can we support her? This is not fair to our two families."
Zheng Rong smiled and said, "We're all family, eating from the same pot. Why bother talking about fairness or unfairness? Qiuye went to high school because she's capable. If she gets into college and has a bright future, won't we all benefit from it too?"
It was also because Qiuyu was too stupid to concentrate on studying, otherwise she would have asked Qiuyu to go back to high school and take the college entrance examination.
It would be great if she could get into university. Then she could fly away from her small place, see a wider world and have more choices.
Previously, the third brother and his wife decided not to let Qiuye go to high school, and she felt it was a pity, but that was not her child, so she couldn't say anything.
Wang Mei didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so open-minded. After she said that, she, as the second mother, seemed stingy and mean.
She didn't feel like saying anything more and left the kitchen in a huff.
