Going through the book and raising younger siblings

Chapter 22 Dispute
22. Dispute
Zhang Yu: "Our business will definitely make money, just be prepared to suffer hardships."

Yingzi: "The thing I'm most afraid of is suffering and suffering. People like us have been born like this since childhood. Besides, steamed buns are sold, no matter how hard and tiring it is, is it tiring to work in the fields?"

In the room.

Zhao Chunxiang said: "This big girl Zhang is pretty good looking, but she dresses like her name. She doesn't want to go to school and just wants to make money wholeheartedly. It's too vulgar. This person is not worthy of my brother at all. .”

Grandpa Zhao: "Chunxiang, you don't understand her at all, you seem superficial when you say such things, do you know that?"

Zhao Chunxiang was not convinced: "What! Grandpa, how can you say I am superficial?"

"The dirt she wears is because of family reasons. Just like how well you dress is a condition provided by your parents. It has nothing to do with your own ability. Also, she doesn't want to go to school, not because she values ​​money and despises culture. She It is because she is responsible and has a backbone, and she wants to raise her younger siblings through her own efforts, rather than relying on the help of outsiders."

Zhao Chunxiang curled her lips in disdain.

Grandpa Zhao continued to say earnestly: "It would be our Zhao family's luck if our family's Chunhua can marry a daughter-in-law like Da Niu. I'm afraid they won't want to!"

"Dad, look, just because the big girl is your friend's granddaughter, you can see that she is so good, even my beloved grandchildren can't compare to her." Li Jiahui's voice is still euphemistic and pleasant, but the meaning is very Obviously, it was just to complain for his sons and daughters.

"It's not that I favor her, it's that I'm pretty accurate. Don't look at the big girl who hasn't gone to school, but she has a lot of energy. With this energy, she can do anything. She matches us Chunhua , more than enough."

Li Jiahui quietly tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes.

Zhao Wenjie: "Dad, no one said that the big girl is bad, she is really good, she is smart, straightforward, responsible and responsible, but now is the age of independent marriage, it depends on what the two of them think, if they If you like each other, I agree, if you don’t like each other, we can’t force it.”

Li Jiahui: "Our Chunhua is already 23 years old. People of his age are already married and have children. The big girl is only 16 years old. When the big girl reaches the legal age of marriage, our Chunhua is already 27 years old. Dad, you Don't you want to see your great-grandson sooner?"

Grandpa Zhao: "Isn't it just four years? I can afford to wait. Besides, did Chunhua ever say that he doesn't like him?"

Li Jiahui: "Graduated from Chunhua University, he is the chief physician in the hospital. There is a big gap between him and the big girl in every aspect. How can two people with such a big gap live together? What's more, there is a better woman beside him." There are many children. Dad, we can help Da Niu and her three siblings in other places, but we can't use Chunhua's marriage to make up for it."

Grandpa Zhao: "Chunhua, tell me, what do you think of the big girl? Are you willing to marry her?"

"Grandpa, if you let me marry her, I am willing, but she is not willing! Have you forgotten? In Dongyang Village, the condition for a big girl to enter the city is not to marry me."

Li Jiahui said excitedly: "Is there such a thing? Why have I never heard you mention it?"

Grandpa Zhao waved his hand.

"The reason why the big girl said this is because she feels that she is not worthy of you and doesn't want to drag you down. If you are willing, she can't be unwilling. She is not stupid. You are such a good uncle, where can you find him?"

Li Jiahui was relieved.

"This girl, she still has a little conscience."

Zhao Chunhua: "Oh, don't worry about it. It's not necessarily rare for her to marry into our family. Besides, even if I marry her, don't you have to wait another four years? Who knows what will happen in these four years? what!"

Zhao Wenjie: "That's right, depending on the situation, this is just here! What's the rush?"

After the meal, Zhao Chunhua obeyed his grandfather's instructions and sent Zhang Daniu and the others home. Naturally, he took them to the hospital gate to have a look.

The hospital is diagonally opposite the rented house of Zhang Yu and the others, very close.

Even in the evening, the traffic at the entrance of the hospital is particularly large, because the street in front of the hospital is in the center of the city, and it is very lively. There is a school from elementary school to junior high school next to it. It is even more lively when the children are picked up and sent to school in the morning.

Zhang Yu made up his mind at that time, and sold steamed buns.

That is to say, in this era, there are few people doing business, because everyone's ideas have not yet changed, so taking advantage of this opportunity, you can make money, even if it is a small business like selling steamed buns.

In such a location, in future generations, at the entrance of the hospital, not to mention two families selling steamed buns, it is not surprising that there are five or six.

Zhang Yu: "Brother Chunhua, I know you are busy with work tomorrow, so you don't have time to take us shopping, or you can take us to see where they sell things now. They don't open now, so we can go tomorrow morning by ourselves."

"Alright, I'll take you to identify the door now, and you can go by yourself tomorrow, but do you remember the direction? The streets in the city are all the same, if you are not familiar with it, you will get lost."

"Remember, no problem."

Zhang Yu grew up in the city, so of course she can distinguish almost identical streets in the city.What's more, the city at this time is not as prosperous as later generations, and there are not many streets.

Zhao Chunhua took them all the way and introduced, where is the grain and oil store, where is the clothing store, and a place that sells briquettes. Naturally, briquettes stoves are also sold there.These stores are all closed at this time.

Finally, Zhao Chunhua took them to the department store, which was the only store that was still open at night.

This department store has a lot of things, including daily necessities.

Zhang Yu spent a dollar to buy an army green canvas schoolbag for Xiaobao.

This is a schoolbag unique to this era, and it seems that most people carry this kind of schoolbag.It is also something Xiaobao has been looking forward to for a long time.

Zhang Yu bought another tin pencil case for [-] cents. At this time, there are only this kind of pencil case. Unlike later generations, no matter it is a school bag or a pencil case, there are all kinds of materials.

Zhang Yu bought five pencils for five cents, a pencil sharpener for ten cents, and some homework books for five cents each. There are only two kinds of homework books, one is for writing when learning Chinese One is a math exercise book for learning mathematics.

Zhang Yu also bought some for Er Niu at the same time.

Zhang Yu also spent 20 yuan to buy a set of clothes for Xiaobao and Erniu.

The clothes they wore before were too old, they couldn't see their original color after being washed, and they were obviously a little too small. Obviously, the big girls wore small clothes for the second girl, and the second girl wore small clothes for Xiaobao. wear.Xiaobao's clothes are all girls' styles and colors, but Xiaobao is small and cute, so it doesn't violate the harmony to wear.
