Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 22
Of course Qiao Jue chooses the city, and he can only choose the city, because he wants to study and stay in the city to work after finishing his studies. There is no way to realize his ideals and aspirations in the countryside.

He answered truthfully, and got Ju Jing's eyes: "You, a child who has been living in the city, want to stay in the city. Of course, those of us who have never been to the city want to visit the city more. .”

All right, Qiao Jue found that the three sisters were more talkative than the other, and he couldn't handle any of them, so he might as well not waste this tongue, and obediently answer every question.

The chat was so lively that Qiao Dongcheng didn't take Qiao Jue back until almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

The grandparents of the Qiao family fell asleep after drinking, and no one in the Qiao family was sleepy except for the carefree and crazy grandma.

When the door is pulled, two small worlds are separated.

Ju Wenqi and Zhang Yongmei are chatting and discussing the future path of the Ju family, while the three sisters are looking forward to the future life.

Qiao Jue's description of the outside world is so attractive, they wish they could grow a pair of wings and fly out to have a look.

"We all have to work hard to be a master and never let others look down on us." After thinking about it for a while, Ju Jing, who was sleeping in the middle, held the hands of Ju Min and Ju Ling from left to right, and said with a sigh: "We will become famous in the future." When I saw those relatives in the village, I didn't even give them a look, and let them nod and bow and chase after me."

Ju Min thought she was childish, so he waved his hands unceremoniously and said calmly: "You can pull it down. No one knows what will happen in the future, but I know that we have to kowtow to the elders and aunts during the Chinese New Year, and we have to give those who we don't like New Year's greetings."

Speaking of this, Ju Jing was very angry.

"It's fine to bow in New Year's greetings now. Why should we kowtow to others? Last year, we kowtowed to them, not to mention lucky money. We didn't even have a piece of candy or a melon seed. It would kill us to pick them up," Ju Jing said angrily.

Ju Ling grasped the key point in her words and asked: "If you give you lucky money or candy and melon seeds, will you be willing to kneel down and pay New Year's greetings to them?"

Ju Jing thought about it seriously for a while, then snorted softly: "I'm not happy, I'm not happy with any amount of money. The people in this world who deserve my knees are my parents, grandma, grandparents, and aunts."

"Well, even if you have a backbone, you are still my second sister!" Ju Ling threw away these words and turned over, turning her back to her two sisters and preparing to go to bed.

Ju Jing froze for a moment, opened her mouth to say something, thought about it, but didn't say anything.

Backbone is a word that Ju Wenqi talks about most often.After experiencing so many things in these years, everyone in the Ju family knows that the backbone is not to do everything on their own without asking others, not to look up at people with their necks proudly, and it is not to act against others unreasonably.Backbone is to be grateful to kind people in good times and not to give in to despicable people in adversity. It is to struggle with all your strength to stand up and never give up even if you are crushed by life and kneel on the ground.

Remembering the kindness of others is not the same as forgetting the malice of others. Never forget anyone who has bullied them.

"No matter what my parents say, no one will kneel when I go out to pay New Year's greetings this year." At the end, Ju Min said solemnly.

Probably because people kowtowed in the previous years, but some people really don't like it if they don't kowtow this year.

At Ju Wenlin's house, the three sisters were about to leave after bowing their New Year greetings and saying a few auspicious words. Bai Guirong stopped them and said in an indifferent way: "Yo, the girl has more thoughts when she grows up. She doesn't respect her elders as much as she did when she was a child. Three Is that what Uncle and Aunt taught you?"

There were quite a few people in the room, except Ju Wenlin's big and small family and other juniors who came to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone's eyes fell on the three sisters, waiting to see their jokes.

Ju Min's subconscious action was to protect Ju Ling behind him, and then he opened his mouth to fight back: "We didn't kowtow, at least we bowed, at least we came to pay New Year's greetings to the uncle and aunt. How about you? You keep calling my parents, uncles, and uncles." Auntie, how many years has it been since you visited them to pay New Year's greetings? Is this what the uncle and aunt taught you?"

Without waiting for Bai Guirong and the others to speak, Ju Jing continued: "How many kowtows are there in our village to celebrate the New Year? You all feel your conscience and say, are you worthy of us kowtow?"

The two of them pissed off the family enough, and it wasn't over yet. Ju Ling poked her head out from behind Ju Min and slapped a hammer: "Master and aunt, if our family is really so particular, it's okay, let the elder brother and sister-in-law take the children to give it to them." My parents and grandma kowtow. By the way, Tang Cheng and the others have to kowtow to the three of us, after all, we are also elders, and we haven't tripped them secretly, so we can accept their courtesy."

After the three of them finished speaking without a break, the expressions of the people in the room were indescribably interesting.

They were afraid that they would not appreciate it much because they were beaten, so they ran out pushing and shoving, until they ran on the avenue before they burst out laughing out of breath.

Happy, really happy!
These words have been held in my heart for too long and I haven't found a chance to say them. Today, I said them all in one go. It's really more comfortable than eating dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut and pork.

After laughing and regaining her senses, Ju Jing became worried again.

"Sister, they won't complain to their parents, will they? Parents have to train us again."

"What are you afraid of? They didn't respond. If you dare to go to our house to sue, let's scold them again." Ju Min said quite calmly.

After paying their respects to those who should pay New Year's greetings, the three sisters returned home.

Different from the bustle of other families, no one from their family came to pay New Year's greetings.

Zhang Yongmei's face was a bit ugly, and she complained while packing up the apples, oranges, and melon seeds that she had prepared early in the morning: "I told you not to take them out, but you don't believe me. Look, no one is coming. I can see clearly." It’s just that you still treat them as relatives, they don’t take us seriously at all.”

"Brother, no one is coming to Xiaoying's family. The children must come, don't accept them and wait," Ju Wenqi said in a deep voice, sucking the dry smoke vigorously.

Ju Ying and Zhu Yunping have two children. The eldest daughter, Zhu Yuping, has been working outside for the Chinese New Year in her 20s. The youngest son, Zhu Yubin, is [-] or [-] years old. The uncle who works as a veterinarian with him is studying medicine in the village where the township government is located. Never came back.

Ju Wenqi knew that the two children of Zhu's family would not be able to come at all, so it was just unwilling to give up and wanted to wait a little longer.

Zhang Yongmei didn't expose him, she sighed and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After waiting until after eleven o'clock, no one came. Ju Wenqi had already smoked seven or eight cigarettes in a row, and finally gave up completely, ordering Ju Min to put everything away.

Just as Ju Min was about to start, a hoarse but extremely joyful voice suddenly came from outside: "Uncle, Aunt, Happy New Year."

It's Qiao Jue.

Finally someone came to pay New Year's greetings, Ju Wenqi's wrinkled face finally had a smile, and he generously gave Qiao Jue ten yuan as a new year's money.
