"Dad, I also want to go to Taiwan!" Nine-year-old Shuanzi stared at the third uncle's family who were retreating, pouting with an unhappy face, "The young monk can go, why can't I go?"
"Didn't you hear what your third uncle said? You need a pass to go to Taiwan, and you can't go without it." Aunt Xu frowned and complained, "It's true that third uncle, for such a good thing, I would rather give it to outsiders at an advantage than take it with me." My own nephew. I don’t believe that their passes have been issued a long time ago. They must have been issued in the past few days. Can you tell us in advance that you can go? "
Uncle Xu glanced at his wife: "It's not your fault! Women's vision is narrow, and they refused to adopt Shuanzi at first. If Shuanzi was adopted by the third child, our two families have been moving around. Will Yinyin come to see us? ? It’s fine now, I got the advantage of that little brat in vain.”
"You blame me? When your mother insisted on adopting Shuanzi, didn't you also refuse to do so?"
"Okay, parents, please stop arguing. Let's think about how to win over Third Uncle when he comes back." Xu Ping, the eldest son of Mr. Xu, interrupted the couple's mutual complaints, "I heard that the town is going to build a The industrial park is invested by Yinyin, and the welfare benefits are great. There are also apartments for the middle-level and above, but the interview requirements are very strict. It would be great if I could ask my third uncle to let our whole family go in and work."
"My son is right! We are the most qualified to enter the factory my niece invested in."
"Dad, I want to join the purchasing department. I heard that there is a lot of money in purchasing." Xu Laoer's eldest son also said.
The younger son patted his chest and said, "I don't have high demands. Just be my security captain. You don't have to do any work. You just have to look after the security guards below. You can just smoke and walk around. How free you are."
The two families were talking about it, as if these positions were like meat on the chopping board, and they had the final say on how to distribute them.
It's a pity that they are destined to wait in despair.
…
Xu Yin took her father and younger brother to play in Taiwan for three days. On the last day, she took them to the largest shopping mall in the area and bought them some four-season clothing.
What is easy to buy in New Zealand is cashmere and wool clothing. Cotton clothes are still cheaper in China and the styles are good.
As for leather shoes, Xu Yin had no plans to buy them in Taiwan. New Zealand is a country rich in cowhide. The pair of cowhide boots she bought in Queenstown were not only cheap, but also had very good leather. When she went back this time, she not only wanted to buy them for her father and brother, She herself plans to buy a few more pairs.
In addition, there are some daily necessities and children's books and picture books suitable for Xu Lin's age. Proper enlightenment is still needed.
Xu Yin also wanted to take them to several other shopping malls, but Xu Qishan and Xu Lin were frightened by her desire to buy.
"It's too much! Sister, don't buy it!"
"My dear girl, just have enough clothes to wear. Buying too much is a waste."
Afraid of spending more money if he stayed any longer, Xu Qishan asked: "Yinyin, haven't you bought the ticket yet? Do you plan to buy it after you have played with us enough? No, no, we have played enough, really! Buy the ticket quickly, let's Go to that city you mentioned early."
"..."
The next day, the family of three took a direct flight to Christchurch.
If when he was in Taiwan, Xu Qishan saw his daughter's courage (speed) in shopping (spending money), and wanted to persuade him; when he arrived in Cooktown, New Zealand, he saw that all her properties were pointing in the direction of her finger. My eyes were blinded.
Be good! The fields here are not measured by acres, but by hectares?
The cattle and sheep here don’t matter if they are just one, or in groups?
Looking at the past, the land as far as the eye can see is the daughter's pasture?
The endless golden wheat waves as far as the eye can see are all my daughter’s farmland?
And the lake on the mountain, the orchards by the lake, and the elegant manor at the foot of the mountain, all belong to my daughter?
Oh my god! Is this what my daughter meant by "buying some land"?
This "little bit" is larger than the entire town of Redwood Fields.
Stimulate!
So exciting!
Oh yo yo yo!
Xu Qishan held his heart in his hands and was so shocked that he almost fainted.
Xu Lin was excitedly having fun on the pasture.
Compared with farms and lakes, he prefers vast pastures like carpets. This season, New Zealand has entered autumn, the pastures are turning from green to yellow, and the grass is dry and soft. He turned several somersaults and then lay down on the dry and soft grass. Going up, looking at the clear blue sky, grinning happily: It’s so nice here! No matter how many somersaults I do, I will never hit the wall.
It's a pity that the pasture is not tender now, otherwise there would be a lot of wild vegetables to be dug in such a large grassland.
His eyes lit up when he thought of wild vegetables: "Dad! I forgot to bring a small shovel. Sister, do you have a small shovel at home? I know a lot of wild vegetables. When spring comes, I will dig up wild vegetables. If I dig too much, I will take it. Sell it, sell it to buy meat for you and dad!"
The four-and-a-half-year-old child patted his chest, indicating that he also had the ability to provide meat for his family.
Xu Yin was happy: "If you want to eat meat, you don't need to exchange wild vegetables for it. Have you seen those cattle and sheep? They are all raised by my sister. If you want to eat them, let's kill one."
Xu Lin sat up suddenly, his dark eyes suddenly widened: "They are all my sister's?"
"right!"
"No, no, no!" Xu Lin was happy for a while, then showed a distressed expression, bulging his cheeks and shaking his head, "These sisters have to be raised until they can be sold for money during the New Year. They cannot be killed and eaten! Otherwise, there will be no money for the New Year."
This is the case in the village. The chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs raised at home are usually kept until the Chinese New Year, and then sold at a good price during the big market, and then exchanged for some New Year items.
The little guy lived in a temple until he was one and a half years old, living a simple life with the old monk. After being adopted by Xu Qishan, he moved to a village at the foot of the mountain and lived a relatively poor life. Not only the Xu family, but also other villagers are similar. They rarely eat the poultry they raise. At most, they pick up eggs and steam them into custards. Big fish and meat are only seen on the dining table during New Years and holidays.
When it comes to the Chinese New Year, the little guy feels like he can't turn his head: "How do I remember that before the flood, the early rice in the field had not yet headed? How come the wheat here is almost ripe? And it's so cold."
"Because this is the southern hemisphere." Xu Yin took them back to the manor and took out a globe to teach the little guy about geography. "Look, we are here now. Have you seen Christchurch, New Zealand? It is located in the southern hemisphere of the earth. It is autumn in New Zealand now. We are in Cooktown, not far from Christchurch. This raised mountain range is called the Male Alps, which is the one we just saw... And our hometown is here, this is the northern hemisphere, and the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite. of……"
Xu Yin's gentle explanation made Xu Lin fascinated.
"Sister, you know so much! When can I know everything like you?"
"Go to school and read. Schools and teachers will teach you all kinds of knowledge. You have to be like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge..."
Xu Yin was good at tempting, and Xu Lin was fascinated by it.
"Sister, can I also go to school?" His family is so poor, so he probably can't afford it, right?
"Of course. After Linlin's sixth birthday, we will go to school. Before that, you can go to kindergarten if you want."
The kindergarten in Hongmuchang Town requires a household registration in the town to go to, but she invested in setting up a factory and donated money. Isn't it easy to get a place for her brother to study?
When the factory is put into operation and the funds are withdrawn, a donation will be made to the primary school in the town.
She thought that when the factory's production was stable, the number of children of workers in the factory would not be small. If the school in the town was unwilling to accept the children of migrant workers, then she would open a school of her own.
As long as the money is available, are you still afraid that you won't be able to hire excellent teachers or afford teaching materials and experimental equipment?
