Adults describe a dull person who suddenly becomes smart as someone who has become enlightened or has become smarter.
A Yuan is not a smart kid, but her parents are smart people in the Lao Fu family.
Therefore, Fu Dabai and his wife always thought that Yuan was just a fool, didn't have any common sense, and ate too little so his brain couldn't keep up.
Fortunately, what they thought was right. A Yuan still had some wisdom in his blood, but it had never been fully realized...
Because there is no chance of enlightenment.
Before Yuan was three years old, he was hungry every day. He would have food to eat, but after eating he would be hungry again and wait for the next meal.
Her unenlightened mind provided her with the easiest way to survive, which was to stay in one place, move less, talk less and think less.
It's not just her, the other children in the Lao Fu family are like this too. They are so hungry that their faces are pale and their bodies are thin, and they only think about their next meal.
Most of the time he stays in one place, not moving for a long time, and rarely uses his brain, so he always seems dumber than other children of the same age in the village.
Yuan is the same as them, but not exactly the same, because she is still timid. She is afraid of heights, crowds, loud noises, and many things, so she often has to stay with her parents or grandmother to feel safe.
While the children in the village ran around, she stayed with her parents and listened to their conversations.
When the children at home were so hungry that their brains were blank, she followed her mother, listening to her talk while getting some food and drink in the kitchen.
When the children in the village and at home were sleeping, she would still follow her grandmother around like a little tail.
Until Yuan was three years old, which was recently.
There was a lot going on at home, and the children only cared about when they would eat and whether they would get scrambled eggs.
But Yuan not only cares about these things, but also experiences everything with the adults, although she can only watch the fun and can't do anything.
But after watching so much excitement, she understood a lot of things, and at one point she suddenly got the idea.
So when Yuan woke up in the morning these days, he felt familiar and fresh about everything he saw.
Moreover, the family had some savings, and Grandma Yang allowed the family to have two meals a day. Yuan was able to eat his fill for several days in a row and felt more energetic.
When her parents asked her to sit down and bask in the sun, Yuan could no longer sit still.
"Dad, can you take me to buy food?"
A Yuan put his arms around Fu Dabai's neck, sat on his arm, and asked him eagerly.
Because my fourth aunt has a lame leg, my grandmother, Old Yang, has been feeling sorry for her lately and has been cooking special meals for her for several days in a row, using only refined rice and white flour.
The pheasant that hadn't been sold in time was stewed into chicken soup for her, and the other people in the family also ate the chicken.
They ate too much food and there was not enough left, so old Mrs. Yang asked Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai to go to the county to buy some.
If you see someone selling hens or chicks, ask the price. If you like, buy some. When they grow up and lay eggs, you can sell them and earn money.
Yuan hasn't been to the county yet. He fell asleep the last time he went there, and on the way back he was busy drying his hair in the car and didn't see anything.
So when she heard about going to the county town, she wanted to go too, very much!
Fu Dabai didn't want her to go at all. Her short legs couldn't walk far before she had to be carried by him. How could Fu Dabai, who was so lazy, be happy? So he advised her with a bitter face:
"A Yuan, there's nothing fun in the county. Why don't you stay at home? Dad will buy you some candy when you come back, okay?"
Yuan thought about the sweet taste of the sugar and became more determined:
"Take me with you, and I'll eat what you buy!"
As he spoke, he remembered the copper coins that his parents had withheld from his uncles and aunts, and could not help but complain again:
"Dad! Are you trying to lie to me again?
That’s what you and mom said last time when you didn’t want to give me money!
You said, "Ah Yuan, money is not fun, don't take it and leave it with your parents. Later, your parents will buy you some candy, okay?"
What about sugar?
Where's the sugar?!
Liar! ! "
Fu Dabai quickly covered her chattering mouth, looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he let her go and said in a low voice:
"Hush! You can't say that. If someone hears it again, you'll have to hand over the money to the government!
Take you there, take you there, okay, you naughty kid! "
Yuan was immediately satisfied, put his arm around his neck and said:
"Dad, you are so nice!"
Fu Dabai: ...I'm not okay at all!
The enlightenment of the idiot will make his father tired!
When he saw the silly younger brother Fu Erbai among the people getting ready to leave outside the door, Fu Dabai even wanted to go back to the house.
The daughter will eventually become smart, but the silly brother has a hard time in his life, he makes a fuss whenever he hears him talk!
But under the threat of Old Futou's eyes, Fu Dabai didn't dare to be lazy. He walked to the door with his daughter in his arms and asked Fu Erbai:
“Are you going to the county too?”
Fu Erbai lifted the bag in his hand and said with a silly smile:
"Now that I have a daughter, I have to make some money. I'm going to the county to see where there's a shortage of people."
Because of the wild boar incident at home, Fu Erbai has been helping to build the kang and walls at home these days, and the fence was also damaged.
Old Mrs. Yang was worried that something like this would happen again, so she asked them to go to the mountain to cut down some trees and build a more solid fence. They were busy working on it until yesterday when they finally finished it.
The matter of going out to find a job was delayed, so last night Mrs. Yang mentioned to him again what she had said last time about making sure Fubao had enough food and warm clothes.
That is to say, let him go out to work and secretly keep some of the wages.
Originally, the men in Lao Fu's family would go out to work and come back to rest for a few days after finishing a job, and then go out again when they had rested enough.
After all, they usually don’t have enough to eat, and their families are afraid that they will exhaust themselves from working too much.
Besides, there has been a lot of work to do at home recently. At least Fu Dabai and the others didn’t plan to go out immediately. They need to rest for at least another day.
But it was obvious that Fu Erbai didn't want to wait for them.
Fu Dabai narrowed his eyes and said something ambiguous:
"Yes, as parents, we must work hard to make money!"
Fu Sanbai and his brother patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Making money is secondary. Second brother, please be more careful with your energy. Come back and rest if you are too tired."
Fu Erbai had been hiding some private money in his mind. The more he heard them talk about making money, the more guilty he felt. He even broke out in sweat even in the cold weather.
Fortunately, old Mrs. Yang couldn't stand their dawdling and shouted at them to go and come back quickly.
Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai took advantage of the situation and strode forward first. Fu Erbai also breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind with his bag.
