Sister Han was a soft-hearted person. She couldn't bear to see her eldest brother's lonely back. After all, Han Ze was her brother. Would it be too cruel for her to treat him like this? She hesitated and said, "Shouldn't we have said that just now?"
Second Sister Han thought about what they had just done. If her brothers and sisters treated her like this, she would definitely not be able to bear it. She pursed her lips and asked uncomfortably, "What should we do then?"
"What should we do? Big brother is so stubborn. We need to let him know the seriousness of the situation. If the noodle stall doesn't make money, why should we keep it open? Everyone knows what to do, but big brother is so stubborn and thinks his cooking skills are so great that everyone should praise him." Han Xilan rolled her eyes and snorted, "Only you two are soft-hearted. Big brother should be taught a lesson."
The eldest sister Han and the second sister Han looked at each other without saying anything. They also felt that the eldest brother should close the noodle stall. The purpose of setting up a stall is to make money. Would it look good if it doesn't make money
But Han Ze is their eldest brother, and their goal is to make him give up the noodle stall and prevent him from losing money, rather than to create conflicts with him, threaten him, and make him sad.
What they did just now was obviously wrong. They should have explained to the eldest brother that they would lose money if they sold the noodles at a higher price, and let him know that they were truly doing it for his own good and not to harm him. Presumably, even if he did not close the noodle stall, the quarrel between the siblings would not have been so ugly.
For a moment, the two sisters regretted their impulsiveness.
At this time, Han Hai and his wife came back from outside. Han Xilan glanced at them and asked with a smile: "Second brother and sister-in-law, did you know that eldest brother has a noodle stall in town?"
There is a strong sense of mockery in the tone.
"Yes, everyone in the village knows that my eldest brother has opened a noodle stall in town."
Han Hai smiled. Not only did he know that his eldest brother had a noodle stall in the town, he also knew that a bowl of noodles at the stall cost ten yuan. Some time ago, he went to the market in the town and glanced at the stall from a distance. Perhaps because there was no business, his eldest brother closed the stall before ten o'clock.
At that time, he was concerned about his elder brother's face and did not go up to ask. His elder brother was at home during this period, and he thought that the stall had been closed for a long time.
Han Xilan added: "Big brother sells noodles for ten yuan a bowl. Do you think he is crazy about money? There is no business at his stall. We suggested that he close the stall, but he was not happy."
The eldest and second sisters Han frowned slightly. How could a younger sister talk about her brother like that
Han Hai was very surprised and asked, "Hasn't Big Brother been at home recently?"
I didn't see him going into town.
Han Xilan rolled her eyes. "He was still setting up a stall in town this morning. There was no business at all. I don't know what the point of setting up the stall is. When he gets stubborn, no one can persuade him."
The tone was filled with disgust and disdain for Han Ze.
Han Hai's wife glanced at her sister-in-law. Although her sister-in-law was not making fun of her man, she was still heartbroken. She was not disappointed for her eldest brother, but for her own family.
The eldest brother was honest and simple, and was very sincere to his sister-in-law. He paid most of the tuition for her four years of college. Now that her sister-in-law has graduated from college, she has turned against him and even despised her eldest brother for being stubborn and persevering, without even thinking about who insisted on letting her go to college in the first place.
The sister-in-law's attitude towards her eldest brother made her think more. Now her mother-in-law lives in their house. After her sister-in-law came back, she also lived with her mother-in-law in their house. She ate and drank in their house. Although it didn't cost much money, she still felt uncomfortable. No one wanted to have one more person in the family for nothing, let alone an ungrateful person. The ungrateful person could use them now and curry favor with them, but he wouldn't need them in the future. Maybe he would dislike her and Han Hai just like he disliked his eldest brother.
Although they were not afraid of her dislike, they still felt annoyed.
What's more, when her mother-in-law was not around, she could do whatever she wanted. Now, not only does she have a meddlesome mother-in-law, but she also has a troublesome sister-in-law. The mother and daughter hide in the house every day whispering to each other, and no one knows what they are whispering about. She thinks it must be nothing good. The sister-in-law is not a good person. She made her mother-in-law sick within a few days of coming back. Who knows what trouble she will cause in the future.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes. She had to find a way to get her sister-in-law away no matter what and not let her live in the house anymore.
Han Hai was sitting on a stool and was about to speak when his wife said, "Whether or not Big Brother sets up a stall is his own business. Why should we care so much about him?"
Just because my brother is honest doesn’t mean he is stupid. If the noodle stall really didn’t make money, he would have closed it long ago. The fact that he could have waited until now is just a matter of how much he makes.
She did the math. A bowl of noodles cost ten yuan, so there would definitely be few customers. But there were also rich people who wanted to try something new. During a market, if she sold three or five bowls, let alone ten bowls, she could still earn ten or twenty yuan. This was a hundred times better than doing nothing at home and not earning a penny.
Han Xilan didn't say anything. She always knew how to handle things as they came. She was now living in her second brother's house, and her second brother listened to his second sister-in-law in everything. She didn't dare to talk back to her.
Han Hai's wife glanced at her sarcastically, and she became more aware of the character of her sister-in-law. When her sister-in-law dared to argue with her, she still looked up to her. Now she dared not say anything because it would only make her look down on her. She thought she was just a mean person who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak.
... ...
Han Ze returned home and handed the household registration booklet to Han Yao. Han Yao took the booklet expectantly and could not wait to turn to the page of the eldest daughter. Her eyes became moist when she saw that her name had been changed to Han Yao. She was the only one in their class who was admitted to the experimental class of Shuangji Middle School. When she entered junior high school, all her teachers and classmates were strangers. At that time, she would tell them that her name was Han Yao, not Han Zhaodi. From now on, no one would laugh at her because of her name. She could finally get rid of the name Han Zhaodi.
Continuing to flip through the pages, she saw that her second sister Pan Di's name had been changed to Han Min, her third sister Dai Di's name had been changed to Han Jin, her fourth sister's name was Han Xin, and her fifth sister's name was Han Lin. After reading this, she handed the household registration booklet to her father, looked at him and whispered, "Thank you, Dad!"
Thank you dad for insisting on changing their names so that they don’t have to be laughed at when their names are mentioned and their self-esteem is maintained.
Han Ze touched her head. The eldest girl was the most sensitive and sensible among the five girls. He said, "What are you thanking me for? I'll be satisfied if you don't blame me for naming you like this."
Han Yao raised her little face and said, "I don't blame my father, because I know that this name was given by my grandmother."
Han Ze raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you mean to blame your grandmother?"
Mrs. Han was not nice to them, so there was nothing wrong with her blaming her.
Han Yao shook her head, her face full of seriousness: "I don't blame grandma. Not only does grandma like boys, but everyone in the village likes boys. There are five girls in our family and no boys. It's normal for grandma to resent us. But I don't like grandma either..."
At this point, she lowered her head. If it was her father before, she would not tell him the truth, but her father now was so good to her that she did not want to lie to him. If she told the truth, she was afraid of upsetting her father. No one would like a child who did not respect the elderly.
Han Ze noticed his daughter's uneasiness, patted her head and said, "Dad doesn't blame you. No one stipulates that the elders don't like you, or even despise you, and ask you to like her. If you don't hate her, you are already a good child."
Han Yao's eyes sparkled. He raised his head and looked at his father, confirming, "Really?"
Han Ze nodded: "Really."
After a pause, he continued, "You can dislike grandma, but we have to keep this in our hearts and not tell anyone else, otherwise people will say you are unfilial and ignorant, and that dad doesn't know how to discipline his children."
Han Yao nodded vigorously. She knew what she could and could not say. Her father had changed. If it was her old father, she would not tell him the truth. Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "My father is an honest and filial son, and I have to be an honest and filial granddaughter. Although grandma doesn't like us, I will still buy her new clothes and delicious food when I grow up. After all, she gave birth to my father. Without my father, there would be no us. We should be grateful to her."
Is this child a human being
Han Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say anything. Thirteen-year-old children are not young anymore. They have their own opinions on the world. He could only give some advice. If he said too much, it would only make them rebellious. He said, "Yes, grandma is old. Let's not argue with her."
Han Yao nodded solemnly.
Han Ze was relieved. Thinking that the child would soon go to junior high school, he changed his mind and said, "Next time there is a market, go to town with Dad and I will pick you a bicycle so that you can go to school easily."
Han Yao was a little tempted, but her mother kept saying last night that she would have to pay a lot of fines to register her fourth and fifth sisters, and the family would not have much money. She smiled and said, "No need to buy it. Don't we have an old bicycle at home? Push it to the bicycle repair shop and let them fix it and replace the parts. It can still be ridden."
She is already very satisfied to be able to go to school, and she doesn't care much about external conditions.
Han Ze knew what she was thinking from her expression. He sighed again that this child was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. If she was not sensible, she would not give up going to school for her two sisters. He said, "Don't worry, Dad has money, so it's no problem to buy you a bicycle."
Han Yao still refused, "We have many children in our family, and our parents are under a lot of pressure. We should save some money if we can."
This child.
Han Ze said angrily: "Dad said it's okay, so it's okay. You have to listen to me, okay?"
Han Yao: "...Okay."
So reluctant, Han Ze was angry and amused, but still said: "You are still young, your mind should be focused on studying, don't think too much about other things, if there is no money at home, Dad will find a way to earn it. Although Dad doesn't have any great ability, it is still no problem to support you five sisters, understand?"
"knew."
Han Yao felt warm inside. Just like her fourth sister said, she loved her father.
... ...
Han Ze got up at daybreak to cook. Just as he put the porridge in the pot, Han Yao also got up. Thinking that her father was going to take her to buy a bicycle, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night. Seeing her father cooking in the kitchen, she went over to help light the fire.
With the help of his daughter, Han Ze cooks faster.
After dinner, the father and daughter hurried to the town. When they arrived in the town, it was just dawn and the market was quiet with not many people.
The vegetable seller came over with a slaughtered hen, green vegetables and green onions, smiling like Buddha. Han Ze took the vegetables from his hand, gave him the money, and calmly lit the fire to stew the chicken soup. Han Yao washed the vegetables, cut green onions, and did some small things within her ability.
After the chicken soup was cooked and the noodles were rolled, the vegetable vendor came over again. He sat at the dining table and saw Han Yao wiping the table. He smiled and said, "Your child is really sensible. He came to help you so early."
Han Ze glanced at his daughter with pride on his face: "This child is indeed sensible."
Han Yao's cheeks were red, and she was obviously embarrassed. Her father had never praised her in front of outsiders.
The vegetable vendor was very envious, and thinking of his own naughty children at home, he said, "Daughters are still the best, my two boys are very naughty."
After saying this, he thought that Han Chu's family seemed to have only five girls and no sons. His words would easily make people misunderstand that he was showing off that he had a son. He wanted to say a few more words, but quickly stopped talking.
Han Ze seemed not to notice his strangeness, and said in agreement: "I don't know what other girls are like, but my daughter is really good, filial, sensible and considerate."
Vegetable shop owner: “… ”
Is it really okay to praise your own children in such a boastful tone
Han Yao's face turned even redder. Her father was really just bragging about himself.
Diners came one after another, and the market gradually became lively. Han Ze asked Han Yao to go around and see what kind of bicycle she liked. When he finished selling the noodles, she could just go and pay.
Han Yao looked at the endless stream of customers at the noodle stall and said hesitantly, "I'll go back after the stall is closed."
Han Ze took out ten yuan and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "The noodles will be sold out soon. We don't need your help here. Go pick a bicycle and tell dad when you're done. Dad will pay for it. Let's go home early. Your mom has to take care of your sister, and there's no one at home to cook."
"What are you giving me money for?" Han Yao asked.
Han Ze waved his hand and said, "It's hot today, take the money and buy some ice cream and cold drinks. Go quickly."
Han Yao clenched the money in her hand, her little face full of smiles. She glanced at her father, turned around and ran away.
... ...
Han Yao did not rush to the bicycle sales point, but went to the bookstore in the town to buy two books before turning to look at bicycles. When she arrived at the bicycle sales point, she fell in love with one of the blue bicycles at first sight. She whispered to the owner about the price, which was three hundred yuan.
She smacked her lips, it was too expensive, forget it, her father didn't make money easily, after thinking for a while she asked, "Boss, do you have any bicycles that cost more than 100 yuan?"
"Han Zhaodi, your family has become rich. You can even afford to buy a bicycle?"
When Han Yao heard the familiar voice, impatience flashed in her eyes. Why did she meet Guo Jinghui everywhere? She didn't want to pay attention to him from the bottom of her heart. She looked at the boss, waiting for his answer.
Guo Jinghui felt a little embarrassed when he saw Han Zhaodi ignored him. He started school later and was two years older than Han Zhaodi. Fifteen-year-olds are just at the age of saving face. He walked up to Han Zhaodi with a gloomy face and mocked her, "Are you borrowing money from someone to buy a bicycle?"
"What's it got to do with you? And, my name is Han Yao now, not Han Zhaodi." Han Yao glared at him, not understanding why there was such an annoying boy. She turned around and continued to ask the boss: "Boss, can I see the bicycles you have here that cost more than 100 yuan?"
"Han Zhaodi is such a unique name, why change it to something else?" Guo Jinghui stepped forward with a smile, and was met with a roll of the eyes from Han Yao. He didn't care and said to the owner of the bicycle shop: "Boss, which one is the most expensive bicycle here? I want to buy it."
After saying that, he glanced at Han Yao and said, "This is the difference between rich people and poor people."
Han Yao didn't think much of that childish look. Being rich is not a big deal. The money is earned by parents. If he has the guts, he can compare his academic performance with hers. What a narrow-minded and childish guy. At the same time, she was ashamed of her past self. She actually quarreled with such a childish person. Doesn't it make her look childish too
The bicycle shop owner found it very funny. He thought that kids nowadays were really amazing. They knew how to compare with each other at such a young age. However, he still carefully introduced the bicycles in the shop to them.
After listening to the boss' introduction, Han Yao already had an idea of what model of bicycle to buy, and planned to go back to the stall to find her father. Unexpectedly, she saw her father as soon as she turned around, with a look of surprise on her face: "Dad, why are you here?"
Han Ze smiled and said, "I closed the stall and saw that you didn't come back, so I came directly to find you."
This is the only store selling bicycles in town, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find them.
The bicycle shop owner was quite surprised to see Han Ze, and asked with a smile: "Chef Han, is this your daughter?"
Han Ze looked at the bicycle shop owner and saw that he looked very familiar. He knew that he was a regular customer of the noodle stall. He smiled and nodded at him and said, "This is my daughter."
There was a slight hint of showing off in his tone.
The bicycle shop owner heard the bragging in Han Ze's words and smiled. He had seen people showing off their sons, but had never seen anyone showing off their daughters. Han Chu was different from others. He was actually a good father who loved his daughter.
Guo Jinghui saw Han Ze flinching. He had just bullied someone's daughter, and the daughter's father came behind him. If Han Zhaodi's father knew that he had bullied Han Zhaodi, wouldn't he beat him? Looking at the height of Han Zhaodi's father, he was worried about his physique. Although he was shorter than Han Zhaodi's father, he was young, so he should be able to beat him, right
Han Yao pulled his father's arm, pointed at one of the bicycles, and said, "Dad, this bicycle is pretty good. I want this one."
Han Ze looked in the direction of his daughter's hand and saw an older model bicycle. The bicycle was heavy, but very sturdy and could withstand use. He smiled and asked, "Why did you choose this one?"
Han Yao said truthfully: "This bicycle is cheap and durable."
Bicycles are for riding, not for looking at. That blue bicycle looks nice, but it’s also expensive and not durable. It’s not as practical as this bicycle.
The bicycle was for Han Yao to use. Han Ze respected her opinion and asked the boss about the price with a smile.
The bicycle shop owner smiled and said, "Originally it would cost 180 yuan, but since the girl is Han Chu's daughter, I'll give her 160 yuan."
One hundred and sixty yuan, enough money for his travel expenses.
Han Ze didn't hesitate to pay the money. Han Yao immediately pushed the bicycle out. The father and daughter each took a bicycle and rode away, completely ignoring Guo Jinghui who was hiding nearby and looking uneasy.
Guo Jinghui walked out from the corner as if he was relieved, until he could no longer see the father and daughter.
... ...
Han Yao's new bicycle attracted curious onlookers from the Han family, including Grandma Han, who was sick and lying in bed and didn't want to get up. Of course, Grandma Han was not curious about her eldest granddaughter's bicycle. She just couldn't understand why her eldest son would buy a bicycle for a little girl. Even if her eldest son didn't plan to adopt a son in the future, there was no need to spoil a little girl like this, right
"I think he is just rich and has become a show-off." Mrs. Han got up from the bed with a gloomy face, put on her shoes and went to Han Ze's house. Her movements were so agile that she didn't look like someone who had been sick and lying in bed for half a month.
Han Xilan was worried about her mother, so she hurriedly followed behind and chased after him.
Han Hai's wife was also very curious about Zhaodi's bicycle and couldn't help but go to take a look. But she was wondering in her heart that her brother must have made some money from his noodle stall, otherwise where would he get the money to buy a bicycle.
But when she thought about how her elder brother used to think of his own children when he had good things, but now he didn't care about them anymore and only bought bicycles for Zhaodi, she felt uncomfortable. Things were different after all.
When Mrs. Han arrived at Han Ze's house, Han Yao was riding her new bicycle with her second sister playing outside the yard. Han Ze and Wu Hongmei were watching with their children in their arms. The three maids next to them were shouting and cheering for their eldest sister.
When Mrs. Han saw this, her face darkened even further, and she cursed angrily, "You're always causing trouble."
Han Ze and his companions then saw Mrs. Han. Han Ze's eyebrows were furrowed into a "川" shape, and he said worriedly, "Mother, you are not feeling well. You should rest in bed. Why are you coming out?"
Mrs. Han stared at the bicycle under Han Yao's buttocks and said angrily, "If I get sick again, you will make a scene. Why buy a bicycle when there is one at home?"
Han Ze explained: "I have to set up a stall every time there is a market, and I need to use the bicycle at home. My eldest daughter will go to junior high school, how can she survive without a bicycle? Although my family is short of money, we can still buy a cheaper bicycle for the child."
When Mrs. Han heard what her eldest son said, she was very dissatisfied. When Wu Hongmei gave birth to the fifth daughter, she had boasted in front of her mother-in-law that she would not let Zhaodi continue to study. Now the eldest son not only did not let Zhaodi drop out of school, but also bought her a bicycle. Mrs. Han was angry at the eldest son's full support for Zhaodi's study, and she felt that she dared not see her mother-in-law in the future.
Moreover, in her opinion, her eldest son would marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and it was not certain which daughter would marry a daughter-in-law. If Zhaodi was to get married in the future, spending so much money on her education would be a waste of money.
"If you ask me, why would a girl go to school?" Mrs. Han muttered. She knew in her heart that her eldest son would not listen to her now, so she did not say it out loud.
Although she didn't say it out loud, Han Ze still heard it. He said, "Mom, why should a girl go to school? Why did you let Xilan go to college in the first place?"
Mrs. Han hesitated for a long time before saying, "That's not it. That's not because Mrs. Han said Xilan was a college student. That's why I let her go to school."
Han Xilan had just arrived at Han Ze's house when she heard her mother's words. She wanted to turn around and walk back. She blamed her mother in her heart. Why did she bring up fortune-telling for no reason? It was fine to talk about it at home, but if outsiders knew about it, it would be embarrassing enough. How could she face others
Han Ze saw Han Xilan and called out, "Xilan, mother said that it is not necessary for girls to study. Do you agree with this?"
Han Xilan certainly disagreed, but these were words spoken by her mother, and she was unwilling to deny her own mother. In this case, it would be better for her to say nothing.
Han Ze smiled and said, "I also don't think you would agree. After all, you are a girl, and girls shouldn't go to school. You shouldn't have gone to school in the first place, and we don't have to collect money to pay your tuition."
Han Xilan froze for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Brother is right. Boys and girls can go to school as long as they study well."
So she doesn't like the eldest brother and never considers other people's feelings in his dealings with others. Why do you have to force her to admit it? If she were a smooth and sophisticated person, she would have changed the subject long ago.
If Han Hai's wife heard what was in her heart, she would have said, if her brother had been more tactful, would you, Han Xilan, have a chance to go to college
Mrs. Han snorted softly, blaming her eldest son for always blaming her daughter for everything and making a fuss out of nothing, but she couldn't do anything about him. Her eldest son was now focused on raising a few maids, and with his stubborn personality, no one could change his mind unless he could give birth to a son.
Thinking of this, she looked at Wu Hongmei and said, "When the child is a little older, you can have another child. What if it's a son?"
Wu Hongmei looked at her mother-in-law in embarrassment, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Mrs. Han said impatiently, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't tell me that you don't want to have a baby."
Wu Hongmei looked at her sister-in-law. Han Xilan saw the look in her sister-in-law's eyes, snorted, and went aside.
Mrs. Han was unhappy: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so long-winded?"
Han Ze glanced at his mother and said in a shocking tone, "I went to the hospital for a vasectomy. I can't have children anymore."
Mrs. Han seemed not to understand what he meant. She stared at him blankly for a long time without coming back to her senses. She stared at him blankly: "What did you just say?"
Han Ze repeated what he just said.
"Oh my god!"
Mrs. Han suddenly wailed and burst into tears. She pointed at Han Ze with a trembling hand and said incoherently, "You, you, unfilial son..."
Before she could finish her words, she fainted all of a sudden. This time she really fainted and fell straight to the ground with a thud.
The children were frightened, and Han Ze hurried forward to check and asked Wu Hongmei to call a doctor.
Han Xilan was shocked when she saw her mother fainted and she hurried over.
