Duan Zhangshi wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Duan Haofang about the money at home, but he couldn't find anyone. She woke up in the morning, Duan Haofang went out, she slept at night, and the others have not returned yet. It was okay once and twice, but she was annoyed after several visits. According to him, he doesn't care much about matters outside Duan's house now. Why did he ran out that day
Duan Haofang went out early and returned late these days to find a husband for Changwei and Changfu.
This was what the second sister mentioned to him. It just happened that there were fewer things on his body now. Changwei and Changfu seemed to be bigger. They couldn't just sit around in the yard every day, and had to send them out to study for a long time.
The second sister sat on the couch with a sad expression, and said to Duan Haofang: "I saw Chang from my second brother's house rolling outside on the ground a few days ago. He is ten years old and he is as ignorant as a child. , I don’t want Changwei and Changfu to learn from him in the future!"
Duan Haofang thought of Duan Haoping’s virtues. Looking at Changzheng, he felt that the child was unruly. Changwei and Changfu were also big. It was not when they were young that the "milk" mother was brought in the house and not going out. Now the two children run out every day. What if Changzheng is damaged? The second sister made sense.
Duan Haofang asked people to search for nearby houses, and the scholar who accepted the disciples sent Changwei and Changfu there. After he inquired, he came back to talk to the second sister, and she said in a convenient way: "Don't be too busy to send it there, let people first inquire about his character."
That's right, Mr. Bai also depends on his character, so as not to spoil his children. He asked people to find out about this husband's neighbors, and when he was finished, he said to the second sister: "I think this gentleman is okay. Although the family is poor, the scholars are good at talking, and I'm afraid it's because of this." He thought about giving the husband some more money then, and he didn't worry about not teaching Changwei and Changfu well.
The second sister frowned after hearing this, "San Ye, I don't think this person is good. He lives in Caishi Street."
He laughed. He was really a "woman". He was too superficial, because he felt ashamed to deal with people living in Caishi Street. He said, "The houses on Caishi Street are cheap. I told you that he is poor."
The second sister was still reluctant and said: "San Ye, we can’t invite your husband home to teach the children. First, there is no place for him at home. Second, we haven’t told Grandpa and the others about this matter. The husband came back for fear that his family would be upset."
He frowned, the Duan family did not have the habit of inviting a husband. He didn't know how Duan Haoshou and the others were literate when they were young. He was taught by Master Duan, and he didn't ask his husband seriously. Instead, he had posted a few books, but he hadn't read them well. Now Duan Haoshou’s son, Changxing, is 17 years old and he didn’t see any intention to invite a husband. Recently, it seemed that he was going to go to the cabinet to learn. By the way, the uncle asked him to go home to rest and accompany him. Accompany the second sister to be less tiring about things in the future.
That is, the second sister, thinking about asking her husband for the child, although the Wu family is a countryman, they value the knowledge of their children and grandchildren.
He said: "Mr. please, our own family knows that when Grandpa turns back, I will remember to say, "Don't talk about Dafang and Erfang."
The second sister nodded and said, "I know, but since this gentleman can't invite him home, naturally he will send Changwei and Changfu to him. Third master, think about it, can we let our children go there? How can you let the children go there every day in a dirty and "messed" place?"
This was something he didn't expect. Although he didn't mind running to Caishi Street to visit and ask the person to be Mr. Changwei and Changfu, it didn't mean that he was willing to let his children run over there. It was an elegant thing to read. It doesn't seem to be so good to be placed with the sewage-flowing place in Caishi Street. He doesn't believe that children can read well in Caishi Street.
Or do you have to find another place for this gentleman to live? That would be too much trouble. Duan Haofang didn't want to put too much effort into finding someone who could teach them to read and read.
Then forget this person, let's find another one.
But he came and looked around, and every second sister could pick out the "fault", and what she said was very reasonable. The husband should not be mean, and the child will be taught bad and become a mean person, not rigid, child. Will be taught to be a nerd, how can a business man become a nerd? Neighbors around your husband should be good, and bad neighbors will also bring bad children. Duan Haofang is so busy every day that there are a lot of husbands, and this little city is not a place where the atmosphere of reading is flourishing. There are not many scholars. , There are even fewer people who can teach people. I can’t count five of my fingers. When these people are cut off by the second sister for one of these reasons, Duan Haofang has no choice but to say: "Let’s There is no suitable husband here, so I can only send it to the academy, but it is far from home."
It’s not just far from home. The second sister took out the example of Haofeng. Haofeng went to the academy to study and then took a woman over there to elope. Everyone in the family knew about it, and Duan Haofang knew about it. The second sister said, "Although Chang Wei and Changfu are small, they are not afraid of something like this, but we don’t know what the child is like when they are far away. It would be good if we could read good books, but if something bad happened, but we But here I don’t know if something is wrong, it’s going to be bad? There is only one future. They are so small and don’t know how serious they are. Not all good children go to school in the academy? Even if there is only one bad one, it’s bad for them. We will regret it at that time and it will be too late."
What the second sister said is correct. For the first time, Duan Haofang felt that finding a husband for the child was not as simple as he thought. He became anxious, and the second sister quickly persuaded him: "San Ye, let's not worry about this matter, and would rather give it to him slowly. The child finds a good husband and teaches them well!"
Yes, finding a husband for a child is an important matter for their entire life, no matter how slow it is, they can’t be sloppy!
But he had already taken this matter to his heart, and he always thought about it even when he was in the shop, where would he go to find a husband for Changwei and Changfu
When he returned home, the second sister smiled and told him what good things had been done by Changzheng who saw the second brother's house today. It was nothing more than a shame with his dad, so that they all heard it clearly. She was telling a joke, but the more he listened to it, the more frightened he became. It is when children are easy to learn from others. In this yard, there is only one child who is about the same age as Changzheng. If they can learn from Changzheng. How to do? Also learn to be like him, or why don't you just roll around and cry? He broke into a cold sweat at the thought of this.
Turning around, I wanted to tell my second sister that she should watch more on weekdays, but when she looked at her with a big belly, she had to read the book and remember to tell a story to the two children. This story has been told for several years, so I can’t keep on telling it. When they were young, it was enough for them to listen to the story, but now they still listen to the story
Changzheng took the child out of the yard and was broken by Changzheng, but it would be unreasonable to go out of the yard and go to another room. Before he told the second sister, she learned a lot of fun from him. Although Haofeng in the second room already has a son and a daughter, he still has the same way of doing things as before. A few days ago, the second master flashed his waist and thought. He asked Haofeng to go out to look at the shop for him for a few days, but he always led guests and friends to the restaurant, and he couldn't sit in the shop for an hour. As a result, I heard Mrs. Zhang say that Haofeng’s son’s "milk" mother said that the child is small. He just said that he will be like Dad in the future! Marry two wives at home and go out to play every day!
The second sister said and laughed, Duan Haofang's heart sank. Duan Haofeng, Duan Haoping, and that Changzheng are all lessons learned. He can't let Changwei and Changfu become like them!
The weather is getting colder, and the second sister's belly is getting bigger and bigger. She knew that the baby was not very stable, so she asked the doctor to come and see it early. The doctor said that she was well raised and the baby is very good now, but she was afraid that she would be born in winter.
"Counting time, it's almost before the twelfth lunar month." The doctor said, pinching his fingers.
The second sister sent the doctor away. The Wu family had already sent the grandmother who gave birth to the second sister. This time it was Jingtai who came to see her, and Jingxian and Jingzong came along with her.
Jingxian was fifteen, and Jingzong was just ten years old. The two young ones hadn't been out yet when they were so old. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to see the second sister, Wu Feng nodded and let them out. Master Wu said that his son shouldn't be kept at home and he should let him go early. The two adults nodded, and Jingtai came with his two younger brothers. In addition to the grandmother, there were two big cars with things for the second sister.
The Duan family became lively again.
Wu Jingtai had met the old lady Duan. This time, he led the two younger brothers to worship the old lady for an early age. The old lady laughed happily when he saw them, and said that he would let them stay a few more days.
For this, Duan Haofang took the money this time ago, and the old man specially gave him more. He smiled and handed all the money to Duan Zhangshi. Before Duan Zhangshi was happy, he said that the old lady had ordered him to take Wu Jingtai out for shopping and entertain others.
Before the silver was put in his hands, he was about to spend it. Duan Zhang's face pulled the old man, but this was the order of the old man. Besides, when Duan Haofang said this, Mr. Duan was sitting next to him, and he took his eyes when he heard it. Zi stared at her, as if he could swallow her alive if she didn't give Duan Haofang the money.
Duan Zhang's can't help it, there are only more than fifty taels in total, the money will have to be spent until the New Year! It's cold today, and I need to buy more firewood at home. The old man has a "problem". When is the ignition pot at home and when the pit is burning, he will listen to him. He doesn't feel cold anymore, it's a brazier, and it's time to burn the kang. Then every room will come together. He doesn't feel cold, so don't shout cold. Buying at home, including firewood, is sent to each room from the big stove. The old lady doesn't cry out, and the big stove won't be sent to them. If they want to burn the pot first, the money must be paid by themselves.
There are food and drink. A few of her clothes are worn out, and she wants to make a few more new ones! It can't be done this time! Do you want her to wear patched clothes for the New Year? How come these days have passed and gone back!
Duan Zhang was unwilling, so he took a dozen taels to Duan Haofang and said, "The New Year is coming soon! Let them go quickly!"
Master Duan coughed, and she shuddered and closed her mouth.
Duan Haofang didn't care about this, he took the money and left. Duan Zhangshi still chased after him and shouted: "Don't take them to the places where money is spent! There is no money at home!"
