Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning
Chapter 72: 3 Grandpa's Accompany
Yan Fugui was delighted when he heard this, and he felt a little regretful that he had not thought of it earlier, otherwise he would not have suffered such a huge loss this winter.
"Okay, but first of all, I'm just trying my luck. Don't blame me if you don't catch any fish!"
"Don't worry, there's no way your uncle would blame you. I'll push the cart up, and then we can both save some energy."
Yan Fugui had already gone back to push the car out while he was talking, and he had locked the door before he finished talking. If it was before, he would not lock the door because there were people at home, but now he was cautious and how could he not lock the door when no one was at home? It was like the rules in the yard, with a heavy door curtain blocking who could see it?
Looking at his agile movements, Zhang Xiaoyan began to wonder if this man had any martial arts skills.
"I'll take you to where I often fish. There are fewer people there. The weather is good today and there must be a lot of people skating on the ice. We should find a more remote place with fewer people to fish."
"Third uncle is right. I'm not too familiar with this place either. I'll just listen to you."
"Xiao Zhang, are you working smoothly in the factory?"
"It's not bad! Eight hours a day isn't too tiring anyway."
"Your job is good. Many neighbors who work in the factory say that you are very good at medicine and take your work seriously. I regret not letting the Jiecheng and Jiefang brothers study medicine. "
Yan Fugui said with some envy and regret,
"Learning medicine mainly requires carefulness and good comprehension. I didn't learn this in school, but from my master. It's hard to learn it since I was young. After all, I've been dealing with herbs since I was young. It would be too embarrassing if I didn't make any progress. Your two brothers, Jie Cheng, are still in school and are not in a hurry to find a job. Besides, don't we have a technical school? You can let them go to a technical school and it will be easier for them to find a job after they graduate. After all, they have the skills."
Although Yan Fugui is an elementary school teacher, the hardships of life have left him with no time and attention to pay too much attention to what happens to students after they finish elementary school. So although he has heard of technical schools, he only knows how much tuition is for one semester. So when he heard Zhang Xiaoyan's words, the first thought that popped into his mind was: How much money does it cost to graduate?
"Haha... You know I have to support several people with my little salary, so forget about sending the kids to technical schools! If I support one, I have to support two, and I really can't afford it."
Yan Fugui said with a wry smile, and his hands tightened as he pushed the bicycle until his fingertips turned white.
"But after you support the eldest brother, as long as he has a job, you can also ask him to take out some money to help you support the family! After all, he is the eldest brother, how can he not contribute a little to the family, but it must not affect his future marriage and childbirth."
Zhang Xiaoyan naturally also heard about the situation in the third uncle's family. In fact, this is a microcosm of today's society. Many families are like this. They want their children to become successful, but they also have to take into account other children in the family. So many people give up directly and only see the good side of the family at the moment.
"It's not that simple. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In my family, we even eat pickles by the root. But what can we do? As a father, I can only try to be fair. I'm afraid they will feel that I, as a father, am unfair and wronged."
Yan Fugui didn't even know what was wrong with him? He hadn't even told his wife these words, but he told Zhang Xiaoyan.
"There is no such thing as fairness in the world. You said that your family distributes meals fairly, but does the eldest child eat the same amount as the fourth child? If they get the same amount of food, then one of them will definitely be a little hungry. Do you think the child who gets a little more will think you are fair?
I know your family is in financial difficulty, but you have raised so many children, and you are always calculating here and there, not letting your children build a good physical foundation. Medically speaking, this will shorten their lifespan. Moreover, whether it is a man or a woman, if the body is not well taken care of, even if they grow up safely, it will have a great impact on fertility. Infertility is directly related to whether the person was well taken care of when they were young.
They are still young now and don't understand these things. With the development of medicine, who knows what will happen in the future? If they find out, do you think your children will hate you? At that time, they will not think about how difficult you are at this time? They will only think about how calculating you are. If it were you, would you provide for such parents in their old age?
Don't blame me for speaking harshly. You should know that elderly care is a science. You can live a month on 20 yuan, and you can live a month on 200 yuan. Is life in old age hard or comfortable? To put it bluntly, it all depends on the conscience of the next generation. "
Zhang Xiaoyan had heard her grandmother talk about many things of that era before, so she could completely understand Yan Fugui's thriftiness, which was so frugal that he even calculated things. Because her grandmother said that if you didn't calculate at that time, you really couldn't support your family. If you couldn't afford to raise a newborn and gave it away, it was considered that the family had a conscience. Some of the more ruthless ones would even throw the baby directly into the pigpen to feed the pigs.
At this time, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, if you can't support her, she will be nothing.
Because her grandmother saw it with her own eyes, Zhang Xiaoyan remembers it very clearly.
Yan Fugui's face turned pale as if he was struck by lightning, and his fingers were shaking. Zhang Xiaoyan turned around when she realized that the bike was not catching up. As a result, she saw Yan Fugui lost his strength and sat on the ground, and the bicycle fell to the side with a clang.
"No way!"
Zhang Xiaoyan hurried over to pick up the bicycle, stood beside it, then picked up the tools one by one and put them into the bucket tied to the back seat of the bicycle.
"Xiao Zhang, thanks for waking me up! I've been calculating all day, thinking I'm very smart, but I've been outsmarted by my own cleverness. I've really wasted these past few decades."
Yan Fugui, who was sitting on the ground, took a while to recover. He cried bitterly as he spoke. Sometimes a person collapses in just a moment, like the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Such consequences are all accumulated bit by bit.
Zhang Xiaoyan did not go to help him. Fortunately, they were close to the river and there were no people in the reed field. Otherwise, who knows what kind of onlookers would be attracted if a middle-aged man cried like this.
"I'm so sorry to have made you laugh."
Yan Fugui's emotions subsided quickly. After all, he was an adult. He just felt a little embarrassed after venting his emotions. After all, with his personality, he has always been reserved in dealing with emotions.
"It's okay. I've heard old people say that everyone has their own sufferings in life. It's okay to know you're wrong. There's still a long time to live, so just correct it."
