Chapter 438 I Choose It Myself
"If it were in the old society, An Zhixia would be a wealthy person who exploited the people. Can you learn from her? Who knows, one day, they might crack down on speculation again!
You are going to kill the whole family, what can a little kid understand?"
"Mom, you always say that we are children, but if I don't learn more and fill my head with knowledge, I will never grow up and will always be trapped in Wei City, in a small, shabby and poor county town.
I don't want to be like this. I want to be able to see the prosperity of our Xiahua and participate in it, just like now, instead of just watching others eat delicious food and wear beautiful clothes!
You gave me life, and I thank you.
Since you can't give me a good life, and I don't want to resign myself to being a housewife who gets married and has children for the rest of my life, then I will choose my own life.
If you are afraid, then, then just treat me as if you don't have a daughter. When I make money in the future, I will secretly support you. If I get caught, I won't be a burden to my family!"
The little girl stiffened her neck and gritted her teeth, refusing to give in as she had done before.
The outside world has too much impact on her. Just imagine, can a bird that once flew into the sky accept being trapped in a cage?
"Since you are so capable, why don't you take part in the show? Just go and make money on your own!" Ai Zhuojia didn't even look at her, and strode out calling her husband and four younger children.
“Toihan,” the thin man sighed softly, “Your mother has had a hard time too. You should be more considerate of her when you grow up. She’s afraid that you’ll regret choosing this path in the future.
We'll talk about this when we get back, let's finish recording the show first. I'll also try to persuade your mother a little more."
After saying this, he left his eldest son to watch and followed him out.
Tears welled up in Toyihan's eyes. He tightened and loosened his grip on the net bag, and whispered to his brother, "Brother, did I really do something wrong? I make money by performing and setting up stalls, relying on my own labor and brain. Why can't I do that?"
I didn't steal or rob. Mr. De said all day long on the loudspeaker that we should support the economy and allow small vendors to appear. The organization said it was okay, and I responded to the organization and Mr. De. How can it be considered a loss of face?
Aunt Xiao An is a nice person. I envy her for being young, beautiful, knowledgeable and elegant.
I don't think there's anything wrong with her. Don't we all have to give her some respect?"
Alimu was not very good at speaking. He was so anxious that he kept spinning around in circles. After a long while, he could only utter one sentence: "Toihan, don't cry. Do whatever you want. I support you! If someone catches you for speculation and profiteering in the future, I will go to jail for you."
Tuoyihan couldn't help laughing after hearing this and glared at him: "You are really my silly brother! No matter what mom and dad say this time, I will stick to my choice and make money to study. This is our only way out.
It's not just me, it's the same for you, brother!"
"I can't do it, I can't do it," Alimu waved his hands and said, "I'm too stupid and too old. If I go, won't I be laughed at by others?"
"What's the big deal? I've let it go now. Is face more important than real benefits?" She lifted the net bag in her hand and said with a smile, "Others laugh at others, I learn from myself. What's wrong with being old? There is no limit on the age at which one can't go to school.
On the contrary, we are older and cherish the opportunity to study more. I decided to spend two years to finish elementary school after returning, and then spend one or two years in junior high school, and then study hard in high school, so that I can almost catch up with others.
Brother, even if you don't want to go to college like me, you still have to learn the knowledge of elementary and junior high school. At least we won't be easily cheated when we go out."
"Hey, brother, I'll listen to you!" Alimu nodded with a smile.
"Let's go and help my mother and father with their mission." Toyihan thought it over and said with a smile: "My mother is a little stubborn, but she is the softest-hearted one. I will persuade her more."
In order to avoid the chaos caused by the camera, the cameramen thought of many ways to do a good job of concealment. So just now, Ai Zhuojia and even Toyihan did not find the substitute cameramen. Although they subconsciously avoided following the cameramen, the pictures and sounds were still transmitted to the audience.
It's so real. Ai Zhuojia's thoughts are the same as most viewers. She would rather live a poor life than take too many risks or do a job that others think is cheap.
The little girl Toihan's words also had a great impact on everyone. They couldn't help but use her as an example to educate and scare their own children.
The next task is to go to the famous kite shop in Tianshi, where the guests have to make one by themselves and fly the kite into the sky. The task is considered completed only when it reaches a certain height.
An Zhixia and her group were the first group of guests to arrive.
"Kite Wei" is very famous in this area. It has three large shops with all kinds of kites hanging on the walls. In the backyard there is a huge dragon-shaped kite protected by a glass cover.
"This kite was made by my master," said the owner of "Kite Wei," a young man in his thirties. He showed them around the shop and pointed at the dragon-shaped kite and said, "This is the 'Longhua' kite that won first place at the International Kite Festival three years ago. It is the pinnacle of kite craftsmanship in recent years!"
He also introduced other photos and kites with special significance, showing the charm and magic of Xiahua traditional art to the Fang family and the audience in front of the TV.
Then he explained the essentials to them while making the kite. From the selection and production of materials, the design of the shape, the lead, the tail, etc., there are many things to pay attention to in each step.
An Zhixia and the others took out paper and pen and took notes carefully, trying to make sure nothing was missed.
After becoming familiar with the steps and seeing that no other guests had caught up with them, they carefully studied each kite and asked the store staff about the test flights of the kites.
They compared their notes, discussed the issue, and understood the impact of each part of the kite on its flight. They decided on the final plan and began to work on it carefully.
The Fang family did not make the kite's appearance fancy. They just chose the most common swallow, but they worked on the details again and again. When they were finishing the coloring, Ai Zhuojia's group finally arrived.
Toihan and Alim were walking at the end. When they saw An Zhixia, they smiled and greeted her silently.
The kite test flight will only begin tomorrow morning. How high the kite flies will directly affect their ranking in this round of the competition, and is also related to the means of transportation and departure time to the next city.
"Master Wei, we have finished making the kite," after checking, the Fang family handed over the kite.
"Congratulations, you are the first guest group to complete this task. Please move to the western restaurant next door to enjoy your meal."
