Liao Hui smiled and said slowly: "You should know that she has been studying with Mr. Han in your village, right?"
Li Yougui nodded, "I know." Everyone in the village knew.
Liao Hui added: "Not only can she read now, but she can also write a lot. A few days ago, she went to the county bookstore to find a job copying books. She copied a book in twenty days and earned two taels of silver. Now I am copying two books at home, and I can earn another four taels of silver after copying them."
After hearing this, Li Yougui was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth. He looked at Liao Hui and asked, "She is only four years old, how can she copy books?" His family was poor, so he did not send Li Dagang to the county school, but Li Youdi's family Li Mingguang and Li Mingliang are studying in the county. In recent years, their cousin's family has been living a very tight life in order to provide for their brothers to study. Moreover, the two brothers have been studying for longer than Wan Wan, but they are also I didn't hear that Ming Guangming was copying books to earn some money back to support his family.
Liao Hui looked at Li Yougui's surprise, as if he had seen himself at that time, and said: "That's why I said that Wan Wan will have a great future in the future. Her family is in some difficulties right now, and you are from the same village. If you can help, If you help her more, she might be able to pay her back in the future."
Li Yougui is a simple and honest person. Although he is a bit foolish and filial, he is not someone who cannot tell right from wrong. Not to mention what Liao Hui said to him now, just the fact that Mo Ziyuan said she didn't want his medical money already made him feel grateful.
If it were another person, I wouldn't have to rely on him! But the Mo family is already in such a difficult situation. She, a little baby, even said that she would not be allowed to pay for medical expenses and only asked him to help take care of the crops, collect some pigweed, and carry water. This is really rare. .
Uncle Mo is a generous person, and the children he teaches are also generous. Besides, it is his own son who is responsible for Aunt Song's bad behavior. Now the Mo family, old and young, are all falling down, not to mention taking care of the old. , she still needs someone to take care of her, so he is naturally willing to do more to help the Mo family.
After Li Yougui took the medicine back, almost everyone in the village left, leaving only Yu Silian and Li Dagang's mother, Du Chunxia, still at Mo's house.
Du Chunxia and Li Yougui are very similar. They are both honest and honest. Because she gave birth to three girls in succession, her mother-in-law Feng was scolded and set rules all the time. It was not until she gave birth to Li Dagang that things got better. However, the long-term oppression has made Du Chunxia She became timid and timid, and became silent when things happened.
Yu Silian stayed with Song Nanzhi in the house, while Du Chunxia was busy in the kitchen, helping to stew the chicken in the pot, and was busy washing and cutting some wild vegetables and weeds left in the backyard for pig feeding. broken. As for Li Dagang, he was not left idle. Du Chunxia called him out to hunt pigweeds. This was the first time in these years that she asked him to hunt pigweeds, and he obeyed obediently.
"Aunt Du, thank you for your hard work!" Mo Ziyuan stayed with Song Nanzhi in the house for a while. After waiting for her to feel relieved, she went to the main room where Mo Tingyu was lying and chatted with Mo Tingyu, which relaxed the two of them. After feeling anxious and worried, he came to the kitchen again.
Du Chunxia was fetching water from the well. The water in the water tank had been used up. She was fetching water and pouring it into the water tank. She looked at Mo Ziwan who came into the house and replied honestly: "It's not hard, if it weren't for you If brother Dagang pushes you, your grandma won't fall ill. It's all your fault, brother Zhanzhang."
"Brother Dagang didn't mean it. Besides, he knows he made a mistake. If Aunt Du teaches Brother Dagang more in the future, he won't make any mistakes again." Mo Ziwan said.
Du Chunxia sighed: "It would be great if your brother Dagang was half as sensible as you." Speaking of Li Dagang, Du Chunxia's face was filled with sadness.
They were all from the same village. Of course Mo Ziwan knew what she was worried about. Li Dagang only played wildly and made trouble all day long. Most of the children his age were helping the family, and he was the only one who often How can a mother like her not worry about such a child causing trouble outside? .
But since you are worried, why don't you try to discipline them well? If parents don't discipline them, the children will have no choice but to keep walking on the wrong path. In the end, I'm afraid everyone will have a hard time!
Mo Ziwan didn't want to take care of other people's family affairs, because she couldn't take care of her own family's affairs, so how could she take care of other people's affairs, but she couldn't do it.
But Li Yougui gritted his teeth and took out the money to help her grandma see a doctor. After Du Chunxia came home, her job at home was to do whatever she saw. The simplicity and harmony of the two made her feel unbearable, and she couldn't bear to watch Li Dagang grow up to be like his mother. He is an ignorant, unreasonable, and lazy person, which makes life difficult for the couple in the future. Of course, half of it is due to the professional habits of the previous life.
After organizing her words in her mind, Mo Ziwan said slowly: "Aunt Du, don't worry, brother Dagang is not ignorant, but he doesn't do much on weekdays. He can only go out to play when he has nothing to do at home."
Then he changed the subject, "It's just that Brother Dagang has grown up. He is the man of the family and will be the head of the family in the future. In a few years, the family will have to rely on Brother Dagang for everything, but outside the family With so many things, no one can do it all at once, Aunt Du and Uncle Yougui should spend some time teaching Brother Dagang on weekdays, and it is okay to take him to do some things together."
When talking about this, she took herself as an example and continued: "My grandma was worried that I wouldn't be able to cook when I grew up, so she started teaching me how to cook a few days ago. Now I can make porridge over a fire. I also learned how to wash dishes.”
Du Chunxia looked at Mo Ziwan and thought that even if her mother-in-law didn't like her and her three sisters, she still wouldn't let them cook on the stove when they were three or four years old.
She sighed in her heart. After all, there were not many people in the family. I guess Aunt Song was not afraid that Wan Wan would not be able to cook when she grew up. She was afraid that if she suddenly collapsed one day, no one would be able to take care of Wan Wan, so she was so early. Just teach her to cook!
Mo Ziyuan used herself as an example and then continued: "So Aunt Du and Uncle Yougui might as well take Brother Dagang to do more work in the future. If they have something to do, Brother Dagang will be able to cause less trouble outside." Mo Ziwan finally said the main thing she wanted to say. If you do more things, you will naturally have no time or energy to go out and cause trouble.
Du Chunxia often asked Li Dagang to do things on weekdays, but there were people in the family who were used to it, so she couldn't do it herself. She frowned and said, "You and I have a noble uncle and I often ask him to do things. It's just that this child is too lazy and doesn't want to do anything." Do it, but she doesn’t want to do it when I ask her to do it. If I ask her too much, her breasts will always protect her.”
Hey, a typical kiss from another generation! Grandmothers always dote on the next generation more than their parents do, especially those like Feng who favor sons over daughters, and Li Dagang is the only child in the family, so they value it more and dote on them even more.
Then he thought about it, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "I have an idea, would Aunt Du want to try it?"
After hearing this, Du Chunxia didn't want to think about it, and immediately asked: "What good idea do you have, I will definitely agree."
Even without knowing what the idea was, Du Chunxia agreed immediately, which showed that she really wanted to make Li Dagang better.
Mo Ziyuan smiled and said: "Let Brother Dagang help me with things at my house! When my aunt came home, she said that I wanted Brother Dagang to stay and help me with things until my grandma is well." Later she added: " Don’t worry Aunt Du, I will definitely not let him do anything he can’t do.”
Du Chunxia said: "Nothing, this is what he should do."
Seeing that she agreed, Mo Ziyuan added, "I will ask Brother Dagang to come to my house early tomorrow morning."
Du Chunxia said: "Okay!" This time, there is no need to worry about his milk making trouble. Besides, his father also agreed in front of everyone before, agreeing to help the Mo family take care of the work in the fields and collect pig grass and water. , but she also had her own thoughts, "When the time comes, let your brother Dagang do more work, but don't let him go for two or three days!"
After waiting for Li Yougui to come back with the medicine, Mo Ziwan could only thank her sweetly again. On the contrary, Du Chunxia turned back and took the medicine from Li Yougui and started boiling it.
While Du Chunxia was boiling medicine, Li Yougui couldn't sit still. He took an ax and went to the backyard to chop firewood. One of them is in the kitchen, and the other is outside. There is only a door between the inside and the outside of the house. What's more, the door to the backyard from the kitchen is still wide open. They are in the same room and the other is outside. Just say this. , I kept talking, and Du Chunxia told Li Yougui what Mo Ziwan said to her in the room. After speaking, she emphasized: "I think this idea that Mo Ziwan came up with is a good one. If we call Dagang in the room, When I go out to do things, my mother might have to stop her. But when I help Wan Wan, my mother shouldn’t be able to stop her anymore. After all, Aunt Song was frightened only after Dagang pushed Wan Wan into the water."
Li Yougui was about to tell her to take care of the Mo family these days, but before he could say anything, she asked Dagang to do something for the Mo family. He said it was to help the Mo family, but it was better to say that the Mo family was helping them take care of Dagang. The post is restricted. When he mentioned Li Dagang, he felt angry again, and he didn't think that Li Dagang could come to Mo's house to do things obediently. He said, "It's not like you don't know what kind of temper Dagang has. He only knows how to play all day long. It's a good thing if he doesn't go out to cause trouble." Damn, if you still expect him to help, I think it’s more of a disservice than anything else.”
Du Chunxia also became concerned after hearing what Li Yougui said, "Then what do you think we should do? We can't let him go on like this. If we don't take more care of him, what will we do in the future?" Du Chunxia thought in her heart when talking about the future. More worries.
Li Yougui was also irritated, but he always kept a low voice. After thinking for a while, he choked out a few words, "Then do as Wan Wan said and ask Dagang to help." But he added a few words later. , "He can't do anything. Come here to help more these days, and keep an eye on Dagang to avoid getting into trouble again!"
Du Chunxia asked: "I'm afraid my mother won't agree?"
Li Yougui's tone couldn't help but become heavier, "What should I do if I don't agree? I've already caused this trouble. Anyway, just come and I'll go talk to her."
Du Chunxia didn't ask any more and said, "Aunt Song and Uncle Ting Yu can't get out of bed, and Wan Wan is still young, so I have to take care of them for a few days."
That night, after the couple took Li Dagang home, Ms. Feng cursed at Du Chunxia, "Are you willing to come back? You have a lot of things to do at home, and you still have the time to go to other people's houses to cook. Serving people. You're a bitch, why don't you just stay in someone else's house."
Du Chunxia argued for a rare time: "Mom, it's not that Aunt Song couldn't get out of bed after being frightened, so I went to help cook, otherwise Aunt Song and the others wouldn't be able to eat."
Ms. Feng continued to scold: "It's none of your business whether they have food or not! They're paying for medical expenses and raising chickens. That's not enough compensation? Do you have to move the house there so that you can feel at ease? What's in this house?" Was it brought by the strong wind? It's a waste of time! If your eldest brother were still here, this family wouldn't be as poor as it is now!"
