Chapter 166 The Early Bird
Chapter 166 The Early Bird
When Zhao Qiang realized that it was Han Changping who came to see him, a feeling of humiliation and deception made him turn around abruptly and hit Zhao Jin with his hand.
Snap...
Han Changping grabbed him from behind with a big hand and shouted,
"Zhao Jin didn't want to see you arrested, so he came to me to find a solution."
"Fourth brother, don't listen to what Third brother says. Stealing will get you a prison sentence. You'll be looked down upon and scolded by the villagers for the rest of your life."
"Get lost, you traitor! If you don't tell me, who will know?"
Zhao Qiang struggled hard, trying to shake off Han Changping's big hand, but Han Changping pulled him away with force.
"Zhao Qiang, it's because you're different from Xiao Shan that Zhao Jin and I wanted to save you.
In fact, you know it very well in your heart. Even if Zhao Jin didn’t tell me about this matter, does it mean that no one would know about it?
If you thought so, you wouldn't have been so hesitant when Zhao Shan told you, right? "
"I?……"
Zhao Qiang stared at Han Changping blankly, and his hand, which was held by him, was released by Han Changping at this time.
"Zhao Qiang, your second sister doesn't know about this, right? If I'm not mistaken, if she knew you did something like this, would she still care about you two in the future?"
Zhao Qiang didn't say anything. He also didn't agree with what Zhao Shan did. His second sister had warned them several times.
He also said that if Zhao Fengjuan found out that the two of them were caught stealing, she would never recognize them as her brothers again and would just let them die in there.
Second, Third Brother said that this kind of thing could be done without anyone knowing, but he didn't believe it at first. How could it be possible that stealing so many things would go unnoticed?
What's more, the third brother has been arrested several times, and he was released the first few times because he was young.
But, who in the village doesn’t know what kind of person Zhao Shan is?
He was really afraid of being looked at in that way, and he didn't want to become a person like Zhao Shan one day.
"Zhao Qiang, we are relatives after all. Although I am only a few years older than you, I still want to advise you as an elder.
Isn't it good to be a good child? Why do you have to be a mouse that everyone shouts and beats, and live with your tail between your legs? "
"I?……"
"Fourth Brother,"
Seeing that his fourth brother couldn't answer a single question, Zhao Jin hurried over, took Zhao Qiang's hand and said,
"Fourth brother, let's not follow Third brother's example and help him. Don't continue making the same mistakes.
We are men, and as men we must be upright men. Only bad people steal and rob. I don't want to be that kind of person, and I don't want you to be that kind of person either."
Compared to Han Changping's words, Zhao Jin's words scared Zhao Qiang instead.
"Old Five, who did you learn these words from?"
When Zhao Qiang asked this, Zhao Jin looked at Han Changping with admiration in his eyes and said,
"It was my uncle who taught me what kind of man I should be. I only now know that as a man, I should be a hero like Dong Chuanrui and Huang Jiguang, so that my life will not be in vain."
"Old Five?"
Zhao Qiang was once again shocked by his brother's words. He stopped studying after the third grade and had seen movies like Dong Chuanrui and Huang Jiguang.
When he watched it, his blood boiled and he also wanted to be a man like that. Who knew how he ended up living like this?
"Fourth brother, come back to school. Let's join the army together and defend our country together. What do you say?"
When he was excited, Zhao Jin grabbed Zhao Qiang's hand, and his eyes were burning with fire as he stared at his brother.
"A man should be a hero while he is alive, never a coward."
"Then, what about Third Brother?"
Zhao Qiang raised his head and looked at Han Changping. He actually didn't know how to persuade his third brother, so he always went with the flow.
"How about making a plan to teach him a lesson?"
Han Changping looked at the two people and said with a ghostly look in his eyes.
"Uncle, you say so. Fourth brother and I will listen to you."
Zhao Jin is a very smart boy. He didn't dare to call Zhao Qiang "Master" in front of him.
"You two come here, how about this..."
Han Changping whispered something in the two children's ears for a while, and immediately, a look of admiration appeared on the two children's faces.
"I'm sorry, uncle."
After Han Changping finished speaking, Zhao Qiang suddenly took a step back and said to Han Changping,
"Last time, I stole your protective gloves and called you a fool. I..."
"I know about the gloves. Since you know you're wrong, I'll forgive you. But, Zhao Jin just asked you to come back to school. What do you think?"
"Uncle, I can't read. I get sleepy when the teacher starts teaching. What should I do?"
Han Changping had guessed that he would say this, so he reached out and stroked his head and said,
"Then you go back to school and continue studying, and try not to fall asleep when the teacher is teaching.
But no matter what, you still have to study hard. When you have nothing to do, study with Zhao Jin. He didn't like going to school before and would get sleepy when the teacher was lecturing. But what about now? Zhao Jin, tell your brother.
Zhao Jin felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Han Changping.
"Uncle, I'm actually sleepy now too, but whenever I feel sleepy, I pinch my thigh hard.
Fourth brother, this trick is very useful. My uncle said that once I know more words, he will give me many, many good books.
In fact, reading is not that difficult. As long as you want to read, you can always learn it."
"I was just saying, you've been looking through the dictionary by yourself lately. Was it given to you by your uncle?"
"Well, I want to be the early bird. One day I can read well and know a lot of words. Then I can join the army and defend my country."
When talking about joining the army, Zhao Jin's eyes lit up.
"I want to be a policeman in the future, specializing in catching bad guys."
Perhaps infected by Zhao Jin, Zhao Qiang also spoke with shining eyes.
"Zhao Qiang, your uncle supports you. You will definitely become a good police officer in the future.
So, I'll go back and tell your uncle that besides going to school every day, you can go to his house after school to get extra lessons. Your uncle is really good."
"Uncle, can I really do this?"
Zhao Qiang felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Han Changping.
"Of course you can. My uncle was a fool before, but it only took him a few months to learn so many words.
I'm telling you two, there isn't much to learn in elementary school. If you study hard, I guarantee that in just one year you can learn all the six-year curriculum. Do you believe me?"
"Uncle, is it true?"
Both children looked at Han Changping with disbelief. His words sounded like nonsense to them.
"Of course, as long as you're willing to work hard and put your heart into it, you might even learn faster. Whoever does best will be rewarded with a book they like. How about that?"
"Okay, okay, uncle, I will definitely learn the best."
Zhao Jin clapped his hands and shouted happily.
Han Changping looked at the two boys and said,
"You should work hard and strive to go to the town or the county to study. Be like a bird with wings and fly higher and farther."
