"You were wronged, why didn't you say anything? It's all my fault. I beat you without knowing right or wrong." After learning the truth, the girl cried and stroked Xiaomi's face and asked her, "Does it hurt?"
Qin Xiaomi shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt at all. Really, sister, I really don't want to study anymore. You brothers and sisters haven't studied, but you are still living well. But I didn't dare to tell you, so I came here."
Girls are too sensible. Xiaomi has good grades, so how could she not want to study? She just doesn't want her sister to work too hard. She sees how hard her sister suffers every year for tuition.
Qin Xiaomi's tuition fee is actually only one dollar and fifty cents, but in this era, most farmers cannot afford it.
Someone asked, it’s just a small amount of money, why can’t you take it out?
A strong laborer in Qinjiazhuang only earned ten work points a day, while women and the elderly and weak only earned three to seven work points. One work point was worth three cents, which means that a strong laborer only earned thirty cents a day.
This little money has to be used to make a living. Food, oil, salt, and clothes all come from it. How can there be any extra money for other things?
Why do farmers of this era always want to have more boys? It is because they hope to have more strong laborers in the family, earn more work points, and have a better life in the future.
Qin Huai said, "Xiaomi, your task now is to study hard. You don't have to worry about anything else. I didn't care about you in the past. From now on, leave these things to me."
Xiaomi looked at Qin Huai in surprise. Her brother had always ignored her, so what had happened today? She turned her gaze to her sister.
The girl's eyes met hers. They had already exchanged words. She then looked at Qin Huai and asked, "Brother, what can you do?"
Qin Huai didn't answer, but told her: "And you, don't worry about this matter. I'm the eldest brother, leave everything to me. It's just a little tuition, why don't you get it?"
Qin Xiaomi suddenly shouted, "Brother, are you going to beg him? I don't want you to beg them. Even if I work in the fields with you in the future, I don't want you to beg him."
Qin Huai stroked her hair and said, "You have to read. If you don't read, you won't understand many things in the future. I'm not going to ask anyone for help. Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters. And you, I know you've always wanted to study, so I'll find a way to get you to study too."
"Really?" the girl asked immediately after hearing this, but she immediately became discouraged and said, "I'm already this old, don't waste money, brother, you won't really beg them, right?"
"Let's go back first and talk about it. Don't worry about this matter anymore."
After all, the two sisters were still young, and seeing Qin Huai's calm and composed expression, they seemed to be indifferent and snuggled up to him happily.
Qin Huai already understood that the person that Tou and Xiaomi were talking about not asking for anything was their father Qin Dashu, but Qin Huai looked into the distance and suddenly smiled. Why not go? You gave birth to a bunch of children and then just patted their butts and threw them to the old people. There is no such cheap thing in the world.
"Qin Huai, are you okay? I'm glad you're okay." A woman's voice came from behind.
Qin Huai blinked. The newcomer looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and her clothes were brighter than those of the villagers. He was momentarily stunned and looked at her without saying a word for a long time. The woman smiled and said, "Oh, are you pretending not to know me?"
Qin Xiaomi said angrily: "We don't know you."
The woman smiled and walked away. Qin Huai asked, "Who is she?"
The two girls looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother, there is no one else here, why are you pretending with us?"
What the hell? Why am I pretending?
The maid looked at her swaying figure and cursed angrily, "Qin Fengying, this shameless woman."
I understood it instantly.
She really doesn't recognize anyone after putting on her pants. Isn't this woman the one who killed the original owner?
But now he has no time to think about this bad thing. Qin Xiaomi's tuition has not been settled yet, and the family has no food to eat. It is impossible to let a thirteen-year-old girl beg for food to support herself. He must find a way to feed his family immediately before doing anything else.
Qin Huai left the two little girls waiting at home.
People in this era had to rely on their two legs to go out. There were not many people on the road, and everyone was in a hurry. There were people checking his ID, but when they saw that he was limping and wearing tattered clothes, they were too lazy to ask him a question.
Qin Huai had poor legs and feet, so although it was not far to the city, it still took him about an hour. When he saw the city gate, his legs felt like noodles, so he sat on the ground to rest for a long time.
According to the direction in my memory, I found the address where my father Qin Dashu lived.
There were two bungalows, and a fragrance wafted from the house. Qin Huai swallowed his saliva reluctantly, and smiled bitterly in his heart. How long had the poor child been hungry to become so greedy? He raised his hand to knock on the door, but someone behind him called out to him in surprise, "Qin Huai?"
He turned around and saw that it was Qin Dashu. In fact, he was not much younger than Qin Dashu now, so he didn't say a word of "Dad". He replied indifferently: "Hmm..."
Qin Dashu was not dissatisfied with his attitude, but said to him gently: "Why are you here?"
"I..." Before he could answer, the door suddenly opened and a little boy of five or six ran out, spraying water at Qin Huai with a water gun and saying, "The cripple is coming, the cripple is coming."
In the past, Qin Huai would just smile and wouldn't dare to touch the boy. But now, he grabbed the boy, slapped him on the butt a few times, then snatched the water gun, holding him with one hand and spraying water on him with the other.
The boy burst into tears. A woman rushed out and said, "You dead cripple, I'll beat you to death for bullying my son."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and hit Qin Huai in the face. Qin Huai dodged and the woman screamed, "How dare you hide? Who told you to hide?"
