The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 066, it will be fine

"Then, brother, when you go to the city to study, we will stay at home, so we won't be able to see you?" The little girl twisted her two little hands, her eyes showed fragility and fear.

From the little girl's current cognition, she felt that the place where her brother was going to study was too far away. They had never been there before, and they didn't even know how to get there.What will they do if the elder brother goes and does not come back?

Qiao Mingcheng also looked at his brother anxiously, fearing that if their eldest brother left like this, they would be abandoned.

Looking into the eyes of the children, at such a moment, Qiao Minglang seemed to understand what they were afraid of. He was a little bit dumbfounded, looked at the children with firmness and seriousness, and told them, "No, I will Even if you go to study outside, you will still come back during the holidays. Didn’t your elder brother come back often when he was studying outside?”

"At that time, you should study hard at home. In the future, you will go outside to study after taking the exam. My brother will make money for you to study."

He knows that this world is different from the world he used to live in. In this world, women can study and work outside like men, and women are not so constrained.If this is the case, he hopes that the little girls in his family can also go to school and learn more things without being confined at home, so that the road ahead will be easier.

"Really?" Qiao Xiaofen's eyes lit up, and she was quickly attracted by the fact that they could go to study.

Qiao Minglang replied affirmatively, "Really."

"Sister, did you hear what elder brother said? We can also go to study."

"heard it."

After getting an affirmative answer from her elder brother, Qiao Xiaofen grabbed her elder sister's hand and excitedly talked about their going to study.

In fact, their brothers and sisters all have very good academic performance. In the past, no matter how poor their family was, their parents would let them go to school.When their mother was still alive, she kept telling them that they must go to school and be a promising person in the future. They all remembered what A Niang said.

But not long after A Niang left, Dad followed. They couldn't even eat enough, and they didn't even dare to think about studying.The children are full of confusion and unknown about their future life, and they don't know what to do in the future.

After the eldest brother recovered from his illness, he carried the family on his shoulders, took them to do business, earned money, and fed them. They saw the hope of life again.

Now the elder brother also said, let them continue to study, how can this not make them happy!

When Qiao Xiaohui is a little older, she will think more, and she is not as optimistic as her younger sister thinks.There are so many brothers and sisters in their family. When the time comes, everyone will go to study. Who will make money to support the family?My brother's academic performance is so good, I must let my brother go to school.

She feels that she is a girl's family, and it doesn't matter whether she studies or not. At that time, she can follow her aunt and the others to sell things, and earn money for her brother and younger siblings to study.And the twins are so young, they can't do without people, and she has to take care of the two youngest siblings, so she doesn't need to study.

At this time, Qiao Xiaohui decided in her heart to sacrifice her right to study and let her younger brothers and sisters study.

After entering the room to put things away, Qiao Minglang opened the envelope containing the money, took a look, and counted the money inside. There were exactly five pieces of 100 yuan. He smiled and put the money back into the envelope.For the people here, 500 yuan is quite a lot, and the tuition fees for the children in their family will be covered for the next year.

What needs to be solved later is the tuition and fees he will spend on studying abroad, and the money they will spend on food and clothing at home in the future. This is a lot of money. As long as he continues to study, this money will continue. flower.

Several children in the family also want to study, and the annual food, clothing and expenses of several children are not small sums of money.

There is still more than a month before he leaves home, and he can find a way to make more money during this time.They made a lot of money during the time they were doing business together, but after he left home to study, he would definitely not be able to get any more money from it. Even if the uncles were willing to give it to him, he would definitely not be able to take that. money.

In short, one problem to be solved now is the lack of money. He must find a way to make money and earn more money to support so many children in the family.

"It will be fine." He told himself in his heart.

Put the things in the drawer, lock the small lock of the drawer, and put the key in a small box on the desktop and put it away. These things will be taken with him when he goes to school, and he must not lose them.

For that place he had never been to, Qiao Minglang also had some yearning in his heart, and wanted to go outside to have a look.The money that can be earned in this small town is still too little. It is not difficult to support their families, but if they want to make more money, they still need to go outside to have more opportunities.

***

I came back early today, so I cooked and ate earlier at home.

The sun in the yard moved over, and the twins played in the yard, giggling into the kitchen.Qiao Minglang was cooking in the kitchen, when he heard the laughter outside, through the open window, he saw the two little guys running in the yard, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised.

"Brother, you go out to rest for a while, let me come here." Qiao Xiaohui felt that she hadn't done anything all day at home, and her brother had to cook when he came back from selling things outside for a day, which made her feel bad. I feel useless at all.

"It's okay, I'll just come. Check to see if the rice in the pot is ready, and take out the rice." Qiao Minglang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The kitchen was very hot, and the stove was still burning. , the clothes on his body were wet and dry, dry and wet, and now they were drenched again.

The clothes on his body were sticky and his forehead was sweating profusely.

"Oh, let me see." Qiao Xiaohui opened the lid and took a look, the rice in the pot was already cooked, "It's ok."

"Then fill it up."

"it is good."

Qiao Xiaohui found a big pot, put the rice in the pot, and took out the bowls and chopsticks with her sister and set them on the table outside.

There is another dish that can be eaten after frying. The fire in the stove is big. Once the dish is cooked, stir fry it twice. It was hot, and the person who set fire in front of the stove was also very hot. Qiao Minglang told his younger brother not to come in and set fire, but this child also ran in here.

When the dishes in the pot were ready, he took a clean basin to put them in.

Braised tofu in soy sauce, fried cucumber, an egg tomato soup, and a pot of rice, this is their family's dinner tonight. The brothers and sisters are waiting around the table for their elder brother to eat.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

"Well, you guys eat first."

After frying the vegetables, Qiao Minglang went back to the room to wipe off his sweat and drank a bowl of cold water, but he didn't suppress the hot air in his body. He didn't have much appetite to eat right now.Seeing that he didn't eat, and a group of children outside were waiting for him, he had no choice but to put down his cup and go outside.

Everyone sat down and started.

"Yes, yes."

"Do you want tofu?"

Qiao Minglang had no appetite. While eating, he looked at the younger brother sitting next to him. Seeing that he wanted to eat tofu, he picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of tofu into the little guy's bowl, and poured some soup on his rice. Go inside, mix it for him with a small spoon, put the small spoon into the child's hand, "Eat."

The child gave his brother a smile, scooped up the rice with his small spoon, and delivered it to his own mouth.

Children are now more proficient in using spoons, and can accurately find their own mouths, and rarely feed food into their noses.

During this period of time, the family had food to eat, and they were not hungry. After raising them for a period of time, the two twins have grown a little meat now, and their thin faces have become rounder and their skin has turned white. They look much cuter. .

As soon as there was something to eat, the two little guys ate honestly.

Qiao Minglang had no appetite, so he ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of clear soup with a bowl of cucumber on the table, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, "Eat, I'm full, go sit over there for a while. "

Seeing that there was still food in the little brother's bowl, he ignored it and let the child eat by himself, so he sat on the small stool by the door to blow the air.

The wind in summer is always hot, and the wind cools down when the sun sets.

To the west is the sky full of red clouds, layer upon layer, layer by layer, flocking to the distance, as if the gods in the sky are riding the clouds and fog, going to the west to participate in a feast.

At this time, every household in the village is cooking, and their dinner has been finished.The old lady next door was swearing again, which could be heard clearly in the yard of their house. Qiao Minglang frowned, and he didn't like that old lady very much in his heart.

"Let's go for a walk." Seeing that there was nothing else going on at home, it was still early, Qiao Minglang got up, and called his brothers and sisters to go out for a walk in the village. He really didn't want to stay at home and listen to the old lady next door swearing. up.

"Brother, where are we going?" Qiao Xiaofen jumped to her brother's side and asked.

"Go to uncle's house to play, let's go see grandpa." Qiao Minglang beckoned, and little Bao'er ran towards him. He hugged the little guy in his arms, and scratched the little guy's waist with his hand.The little guy limp in his arms, leaning on him and refusing to get up.

He didn't mind either, he grabbed the little guy's arms with both hands and lifted him up.

But at this moment, Qiao Minglang forgot that there was a younger one in their family. Seeing the twin brother being picked up by the elder brother, the younger sister Qiao also ran over, wrapping her hands and feet around the elder brother's leg, hanging on the elder brother's body to hug him.

"Let go of brother, can sister hug you?" Seeing this, Qiao Xiaohui bent over with a smile, and went to pull her sister up.

Miss Qiao looked at her eldest brother, then at her second sister, and threw herself into the arms of her second sister.
