Zhou Zhaodi smiled lightly: "Mom, I know, close your eyes quickly. It's very late. Be careful not to get up tomorrow."
The children are worry-free and obedient, and they protect each other as a team. This is the greatest comfort to Zhou Zhaodi.
What she fears most is that her daughter is ungrateful for being spoiled, thinking that she deserves all the benefits and love, and not cherishing the fruits of other people's labor at all.
She is also most afraid that her son will not know how to take good care of her daughter. If she does something wrong or something bad happens in the future, she and Lin Yuannan will be gone and her daughter will have nowhere to go.
Fortunately, both children are not crooked.
When Lin Xiangrong woke up, she found that when Ye Qiaoqiao occasionally saw her, her eyes would be much gentler and she would still not answer her words, but she would give some reaction.
She felt novel and surprised, and couldn't help but sit next to Ye Qiaoqiao and chatter all kinds of interesting things. The words contained a hint of the independence and yearning for freedom of women in the 21st century.
After racking his brains and hinting at her for a while, Lin Xiangrong tiredly stuck out his tongue, took a drink of water from the cup, and was about to leave to play with his sisters when Ye Qiaoqiao's hoarse voice sounded.
"Child, in your opinion, how can a person who is about to drown save himself?"
She squatted down, and her single eyelids gave her eyes a very unique beauty. Even though what she said was a bit excessive, it was not difficult for a child to understand.
Ye Qiaoqiao seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time, carefully explaining the meaning of this sentence.
"Of course, you should wave your arms and shout for help from people who can help you. If no one listens to you, then you will try your best to get ashore. It is normal to have some accidents in the process."
The little girl with a pair of braids and a cute and cute smile, like a kitten, put her hands on her hips and said loudly: "Why should you let others control your destiny? Isn't it better to control it yourself?!"
Ye Qiaoqiao's pupils shrank slightly, yes, no one saved her, and when everyone gave up on her, why should she place her hopes on those who pretend to be deaf and mute instead of finding a way to save herself?
If she hadn't accidentally heard the words of Lin Xiangrong and Zhou Zhaodi when she was about to hang herself last night, which gave her some inspiration, Ye Qiaoqiao might have died quietly just like her name.
"You are a smart child." Ye Qiaoqiao smiled. Her smile was contagious, beautiful and brilliant. She kissed Lin Xiangrong's forehead: "Auntie, I hope you can be with me in the future. Just as smart and transparent now.”
And not to be captured by the old world, but to move in the direction of the country, follow the reform movement, follow the slogan that advocates women to go out, go out, and use their own strength to gain a foothold.
Instead of using 'marriage' to find a place to go.
She stood up and left. The figure who was cooking seemed to be more efficient than before, and the extension was no longer dead and dim, but full of strange excitement, as if she had a new goal. From time to time, she looked at the slogan printed on the cup to reveal her clear face. Come with a shallow smile.
On the board in the center of the village, new slogans advocated by the state are written, and some old and discarded newspapers are placed or used randomly. These have become important channels for Lin Xiangrong and some people to understand external affairs and developments.
Another channel is the radio, which Lin Yuannan often carries in his hand and wanders around listening to the sounds inside.
Lin Xiangrong unfolded the newspaper and lowered her head to look at the newspaper that had been printed for a long time. Through the stained newspaper, she realized that it happened to be the era of the Great Depression in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
I vaguely remember that this time happened to be an important era for the country's active opening up and scientific and technological development. Some light industry factories and heavy industry factories, as well as various market channels, began to develop.
The country officially advocates the era when people go out of their homes and jointly develop the motherland.
After Lin Xiangrong fully understood this, she threw herself into Lin Yuannan's arms and coquettishly asked him to go to the town to do carpentry in the future and bring back newspapers with different times for herself. She liked some of the patterns on them very much.
Lin Yuannan, who was dizzy after being spoiled by her daughter, unconsciously agreed.
After responding to this, Lin Xiangrong, who had done her best to act like a good girl, rushed outside with a "woohoo" and started playing with the girls born to Zhou Zhaodi's natal sister.
Father Zhou who was passing by reminded him: "Don't spoil the girl like this. If you dare to ask for something now, you will dare to miss the things of the three rich people in the future. Don't develop the habit of giving everything. Otherwise, you will be uneasy in the future and your husband's family will come to your door." , you have something to worry about."
Lin Yuannan's smile froze. He wanted to say that whatever his daughter did was what she should do, but he couldn't refute his wife's biological father. He could only agree with a smile on his face, and decided to stay for a few more days, as a filial gesture. , I quickly took my daughter and my second son home to warm up on the kang.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to take San Fu and Rong Rong home in a few days. It's still a month before the Chinese New Year, and it's already the 10th. I have to go back and help clean up the house."
The Chinese New Year this year is on February 10th. It is normal to go back early to help clean up the house and prepare for the Chinese New Year. Zhou Zhaodi proposed to leave at this time, thinking that it was almost done, so she thought of leaving.
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes: "You can leave, but when will you come back? Your father and I are old and have bad legs, and your eldest brother's children are going to school. There are no good schools here, so why not get the certificate in your name?" Go down and go to school at your place, how about that?"
There are two schools in total. They are quite far apart. The school close to the village is said to be not too good but a good quality school. It is near Xingjia Village. The tuition is fair and reasonable. After you are admitted to school, you can go to the junior high school in the town. .
By doing this, the eldest child's children will be able to live in Zhou Zhaodi's house smoothly. Everything will have to be paid for by Zhou Zhaodi, including school money and a series of expenses. In the future, they can go to junior high school and high school directly from Zhou Zhaodi's house. Depart from home.
As for whether it would take up the school quota for Zhou Zhaodi's children, she didn't care at all, and whether the children would pay a fine had nothing to do with them. They just had to accept the ready-made benefits.
"Not good."
Zhou Zhaodi said calmly: "Rong Rong will be five years old in the Chinese New Year and will go to school in two years. The third rich man will go to school then. There is not so much space to live in the family, and there is no time to take care of the eldest brother's children. Lin Yuannan and I also I don’t have much energy to take care of so many dolls.”
Rejected outright?
Everyone in the room looked shocked. Not to mention Zhou Zhaodi's sisters, even the group of men eating at the dinner table stopped chattering and turned to look at Zhou Zhaodi.
I never realized before that Zhou Zhaodi was so courageous. She even dared to refuse Chen's arrangement.
