As a parent, you can be frugal, but your child won’t feel sorry at all when you spend money on her.
Under their encouragement, the main thing is that Gangwa and Tiewa have made obvious progress in their performance, which makes He Miao very happy.
As expected, there needs to be a role model at home. When Jiang Yan was mentioned, Gangwa and Tiewa acted as if they had received an order.
They all say that they should learn from Fourth Aunt, go to college, and take them to a big city to live a good life!
Let’s not talk about whether it can be done in the future, at least I said this and she was happy to hear it.
Gangwa raised his face from the bowl and asked anxiously, "Mom, when will Fourth Aunt and my brothers and sisters come back? I miss them so much."
He Miao picked up two pieces of meat for him and said gently, "The baby is still in your fourth aunt's belly. She can't leave. When she gives birth, she will bring the baby back.
As an older brother, you must set a good example to avoid being laughed at by your younger siblings and improve your grades.
The most important thing is to listen to me and your father, don't just let it go in one ear and out the other. It's so unreasonable."
Tiewa raised his hand and said, "Mom, I'm the best. I got third place in the class."
He Miao looked satisfied and praised: "Our Tiewa is great, but we still need to work harder."
Aren’t they so busy that their backs and waists ached, just to let their children study and have a good future?
Those who work in the fields for a living will be peasants all their lives. If poor people want to escape their fate, studying is the best way out.
This is what Jiang Yan had told her before, and He Miao kept it in mind because she felt that what Jiang Yan said was true.
After dinner, Lu Lin cleaned up. Seeing that the weather outside was good, she put the dirty clothes in the basin and went downstairs to turn on the faucet.
The person in the queue behind her asked her, "Xiao He, your parents-in-law didn't come back this year. Are they not planning to come back? Without your parents-in-law, we are all bored. Have they taken root there?"
"Oh, if you ask me, I have to go back to my hometown. No matter how good it is outside, it is not as comfortable as home. How can you say that? Whether you have money or not, you have to go home for the New Year! You have to bring your new bride to meet the ancestors!"
"I heard that Xiaoyan is pregnant with triplets. Is that true? Her belly is so big!"
"She has a face that shows she is blessed. Now that she has a baby, she can't come back for the next two years. It's thousands of miles away, and it's not convenient to take the baby in the car. There are also many thieves and prostitutes in the car. If she is not careful and someone takes her away, she will cry to death! It's better to be on the safe side."
"The couple is handsome and pretty, and the baby they give birth to will definitely be adorable. Your mother must be very happy, right?"
Hearing what her aunt said, He Miao chuckled, "Aunt, Xiaoyan is also busy at work. She works several jobs. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I also saw her Little Heroes series in the Xinhua Bookstore in our provincial capital.
This neighbor, please support her when you have time. Her paintings are passionate, inspiring, and touching. I buy every issue. "
They are all hers, so she must promote them to Jiang Yan. Besides, she also wants to show off.
Look at my sister-in-law, isn't she amazing? The picture books she draws are selling like hot cakes in bookstores across the country. Anyone who sees them will say that she has a promising future!
One sister-in-law exclaimed, "Did she draw the little hero? God, this is amazing! It's selling very well. I had to queue up when I went to the bookstore to buy it. She made a fortune. Your fourth son married a rich man!"
"People who have studied in big cities are different. Who said she couldn't stop working? Look at her ability to make money. No matter how much she spends, it's not too much. This month, she must make hundreds of dollars!"
He Miao did hear what Miao Xiuying said, but she knew very well that wealth should not be shown off, so she laughed and said, "Who knows? I have three kids to raise, no matter how much money I have, it won't be enough."
So don't even think about borrowing money.
There was actually a thick-skinned person who said, "Xiao He, if you don't tell us, are you afraid that we will lend her money? Oh, you are too narrow-minded."
He Miao said with ease: "Sister-in-law, I don't like what you said. Every household is in trouble now. Everyone is short of money. If everyone wants to lend her money, how can she make ends meet?
Haven't you heard that if you borrow money, you are the boss, but if you pay it back, you are the grandson. Why do you want to make yourself suffer? If you don't know the person well, you should not lend him the money.
You should be generous and lend us some money, we are short of money."
The sister-in-law shook her head like a rattle and refused, "You have no money, how can I have any? How come you are also a worker in the supply and marketing cooperative? I earn several dozen yuan a month, and I am still waiting for the children at home to give me some money!"
He Miao spread his hands, "That's terrible. How can others have what you don't have? And don't pry into other people's homes. How much money she makes has nothing to do with you."
As she spoke, she took Xiang Yizi out, squatted down and started washing clothes. The others curled their lips and said nothing.
He Miao is becoming more and more sharp-tongued.
After get off work, Lu Lin immediately borrowed a 28-inch bicycle from his neighbor, tied the package sent by Lu Li to the back seat, and rode to the Qianjin Brigade.
There was nothing to do at the beginning of the Chinese New Year, and everyone was staying indoors for the winter. Seeing Lu Lin coming, Lu Jiandang rubbed his hands and asked him, "Didn't you go to work today? Come in and sit down. You came so late, but you brought all these with you. I'm afraid your second aunt and I will starve to death."
Zhang Yulan came out of the house, wearing a navy blue triangular scarf on her head. When she saw Lu Lin, she smiled with wrinkles in the corners of her eyes and said warmly, "Xiao Lin, why are you here? And you brought so many things! You are really here to help the poor! Although Xiao He has a job, you two still have three children to raise. Your uncle and I are in the countryside. Are you afraid that we will starve to death?"
Lu Lin took the big bag down and panted as he said, "Uncle, Aunt, this is what Xiao Li mailed from the island and asked me to bring to you. He also sent a few telegrams and asked me to stick them on your forehead."
This made the others laugh, especially the old Dalu Changzheng. "That boy is also capable. He followed me to the island and even got a gigolo. I heard his wife is some kind of soldier, right? That boy is so arrogant. When he comes back, I will definitely take him out for a drink."
Chen Min was holding Yaya, and Shengli was standing aside. When he saw Lu Lin, he asked anxiously, "Uncle, isn't Fourth Aunt coming back? I miss her so much!"
Lu Lin said: "Your fourth aunt is pregnant and can't take the car. When the baby is older, she will bring her brothers and sisters to play with you. Our Shengli has grown taller. Fourth aunt will definitely be happy to see it.
Your uncle is getting married too, and this is the wedding candy he mailed to you."
She handed them a few packets of Red Apricot Gummy Candies and White Rabbit Candies, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva with greed in her victory.
Candy is the country boy’s favorite. After all, he can only eat two pieces during the New Year and other festivals throughout the year, and the ones he buys are the kind of fruit hard candies.
People in the countryside cannot afford these high-end soft candies and milk candies. After all, everyone has to tighten their belts to live a tight life!
