Going through the book and raising younger siblings

Chapter 21 Eating
21. Eat
Grandpa Zhao: "Big girl, you treat us as your family, and we will treat you like Chunxiang."

Zhao Wenjie: "That's right! Girl, with our family's conditions, it is still acceptable for the three of you to go to school."

Zhang Yu: "Thank you grandpa, thank you uncle, I appreciate your kindness. I don't think going to school is the only way out. All roads lead to Rome. I want to use my own way to walk a road that belongs to me."

Zhao Chunhua: "This little girl has big ideas, she doesn't want to go to school, so let her go!"

Grandpa Zhao: "As long as you don't dislike her for being uneducated."

Zhao Chunhua smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Wenjie: "Whether a person is good or not has nothing to do with whether he is educated or not."

Zhang Yu: "I agree with this. People with culture are more terrible than bad people without culture. Therefore, compared with culture, character is more important."

Grandpa Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, character is more important."

Li Jiahui: "Culture is also very important. People who are truly literate are people with good character. Most literate people have good character. Because they are sensible, their vision and pattern will be different. On the contrary, there is no Cultural people, most of them are ignorant and reckless, you don’t want to be fooled, I’m talking about most people, not absolute, there are exceptions, big girls haven’t been to school for a few years, but they are smart and have good tutors, this is a minority people."

Grandpa Zhao: "Jiahui, what you said is a bit extreme. How many uneducated people have you met? I have met too many people. Many of them are simple and smart."

Zhang Yu hurriedly smoothed things over: "Auntie is a teacher, so naturally she attaches great importance to education. From her point of view, it is true. People with high education are naturally better at self-cultivation and have strong ability to do things. Only when everyone is educated can a country progress!"

Zhao Chunhua glanced at Zhang Yu.

"An uneducated person can't say something like you."

Zhang Yu knew that she had made a slip of the tongue again, so she explained: "That's what I read in the newspaper."

Zhao Chunhua deliberately teased her.

"You still read the newspaper!"

"Can't I see it?"

"Of course, why not."

While talking, Xiaobao and Erniu emptied their bowls.

Aunt Tan said she would give them more food, and they all said they were full.

Li Jiahui said: "When a child is growing up, how can this amount of food be enough? Go add another bowl and eat more meat."

Zhang Yudao: "Auntie, don't worry about them. If you don't eat them, you don't eat them. They haven't eaten such a rich dish for a long time, especially meat. They ate so much just now. If they eat again, their stomachs may not be able to bear it, because they don't eat. Get used to eating so much meat all of a sudden.”

In the book, Xiaobao and Erniu were ill for several days because they ate too much meat and vomited and pulled. They also made Zhao's bathroom smell very bad, which made both mother and daughter Li Jiahui very upset. Happy.

Therefore, Zhang Yu knew that her younger siblings were not full at all, and she didn't want them to continue eating.

What Zhang Yu said was reasonable, and there were two doctors sitting here, so they naturally understood the truth better.

Zhang Yu was also full, so she put down the bowl.

"Eat slowly, I'll take them to the yard to see the flowers you grow."

Yingzi also put down the bowl and went out with them.

In the yard, there are crabapple flowers, Chinese rose flowers, and various kinds of roses, which are carefully cultivated and bloom very well.

In the countryside, all the vegetables are grown beside the courtyard wall, and no one knows how to grow flowers.

Er Niu asked, "Can these be eaten?"

"This is a flower, not a vegetable, so you can't eat it."

"Why don't they grow vegetables, but flowers?"

"Tell me, are these flowers beautiful?"

"It's pretty." Xiaobao and Erniu said in unison.

"Isn't it enough to look good? These flowers are planted for the sake of looking good. I feel very happy to see such beautiful flowers every day."

Yingzi: "It's very beautiful, but it's a pity that you can't eat it. It would be great if you grow vegetables! What about their vegetables?"

"The vegetables they eat are bought in the vegetable market."

Yingzi was puzzled: "I'd rather spend money to buy than grow my own vegetables, so I just grow something useless."

"For them, growing these flowers is much more useful than growing vegetables. This is the difference between us and the people in the city."

"What's the difference? People in the city like to grow flowers but not vegetables, and people in the village like to grow vegetables but not flowers?"

Zhang Yu: "On the surface it is like this, but the truth behind it is that people in the city will enjoy it, and people in the village are busy all year round, just to eat and clothe themselves."

"So many people envy the city life, and they really enjoy it."

"Enjoyment is a higher requirement on the basis of food and clothing. Haven't we come here now? One day, we will live a life like this."

Xiaobao: "Sister, I want to have a good day where I can have enough food and meat every day."

Er Niu said disdainfully: "Little greedy cat, you just know how to eat."

Zhang Yu remembered that just now, the two children were only half full, but because they obeyed her instructions, they stopped eating. It is very distressing for such a big child to be so sensible.

It's really pitiful for a child without parents. They regard her as the eldest sister as their only support, so such a big child can endure such a temptation because of her words.

Zhang Yu gently stroked Xiao Bao's soft hair.

"Little Treasure, Elder Sister promises that you will be able to live a life full of food and meat every day."

Xiaobao's eyes lit up.

"Can I eat delicious meat like Grandpa Zhao's every day?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes."

Xiaobao tugged at Zhang Yu's hand fawningly: "If that's the case, Xiaobao will be very obedient and listen to the eldest sister."

Zhang Yu gently pinched the soft flesh on Xiaobao's face.

"You should also listen to the second sister's words. After school, listen to the teacher's words."

"I listen, I listen."

Yingzi sighed: "Big girl, the Zhao family is so kind to you, why do you refuse to live in their house? In this way, you can save the rent. Besides, their home conditions are good, Xiaobao and Erniu can also eat I’m full. As for me! They can introduce me to a job as a nanny, and I can live in the employer’s house.”

"No matter how good the conditions of other people's homes are, they are also other people's homes. We don't feel comfortable living in them. Besides, since I brought you out, we will stay together and never be separated. Wherever I live, you will live where I live. Whatever you eat."

"Okay! You've said that, what else can I say, let's steam steamed buns and sell them together. If you make money, you will continue to work. If you don't make money, you still follow the Zhao family's arrangement and work as a temporary worker. In this way, In the future, if you have the opportunity to become a regular worker, your salary will be higher, you will also be able to eat commercial food, and you will truly become a city dweller. My friend is also happy for you."
