In fact, it is quite normal for a child as old as Qi Tiezhu to not want to go to school and feel that learning culture is useless. Not to mention this era, even if it is pushed back a few decades and enters the information society, there are many It is people who think that studying is useless, and there is even an unhealthy trend in the society, advocating the theory that studying is useless, thinking that a college student is not as good as a junior high school dropout.
He said that he dropped out of junior high school to start a company and became the boss, and those who graduated from college could only work for those who dropped out of school. After so many years of studying, he is not as capable as a person who has not learned anything.
However, to use an example to make an analogy is to play hooligans. Judging from various statistics, people with higher education generally live better than those with lower education. Learning increases not only academic qualifications, but also vision and insight. future understanding.
Just like Qi Tieniu, his vision limits his thinking, making him feel that studying or not studying is not of much use. Of course, this child is not because he does not want to study, but because he wants to come back to help him. This is kindness. , but Qi Wang doesn't need such filial piety from him.
Qi Wang looked at Qi Tieniu, and said earnestly: "Tie Niu, you are eleven years old this year, and you are an older child. You should know a lot of truths. You can also see how hard your father has worked these years. The money I have is not bad, but I earn it by working hard, and all I consume is my own body. People like me, people say that they are diligent, but they look down on me from the bottom of their hearts."
"Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about your grandma and two uncles. They don't regard me as a person. It's because of their partiality, and it's because I have no education and can only work hard, like your second uncle. , He has read books, went to school, can write and count, and directly works as an accountant in our village brigade. The work is not tiring, and he earns no less than me; and your third uncle, he can also read and recognize. He can read and write, and he can go to the town to pick up some jobs from time to time, because he can read and count by himself, and people can't deceive him."
"Your father and I are uneducated, so I can only do hard work and be looked down upon by others. How much money did they take from me in the past? I agreed to write an IOU, but because I couldn't read, they said they couldn't write it. They keep the account, but you see, have they paid back the money all these years? I don’t have a voucher in my hand, even if I want to ask them for money, do you think I can get it back?”
Although Qi Tiezhu is sensible, he is still young, and he may not understand the truth, but if he breaks down the predicament of the original owner over the years and tells him, the child will understand.
The original owner is a standard rural man, similar to all people in this era. Adults would not tell these things to their children. They would bear all the hardships and tiredness by themselves. Sometimes the people next to them would not know it. Not to mention the kids.
This is the first time Qi Tieniu heard his father say these things. The impact of this information was too great for him, which made him a little confused. sound.
"But aren't the second uncle and the third uncle all your brothers? How could they treat you so badly?"
Probably because Qi Baolin and Qi Baoshu still have some face, and they look down on Qi Wang's younger brother in every possible way, but for his two children, at least they can get by in general, and they never ask for things. In front of the two children, when they usually see them, they will greet them warmly. At least in the eyes of Qi Tieniu and Qi Tiezhu, the second uncle and the third uncle are not so bad.
Today is the first time he heard Qi Wang say that the second uncle and the third uncle asked his father to get the money and didn't write an IOU, so what is borrowing money? Isn't this an obvious robbery
Qi Tieniu was stunned, and Qi Tiezhu, who was gnawing on the steamed bun, slowly put down the half-gnawed steamed bun in his hand.
In fact, their family can be regarded as precarious. Although Xu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyuan were driven away, Qi Wang has not forgotten that there is still a big family of the Qi family here. Compared with Xu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyuan, their best deeds That's not too much of a stretch.
These two children know how to guard against Xu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyuan, that's because they are not related by blood, they are later generations, but the Qi family is different.
At least in the eyes of the two children, the Qi family didn't do anything bad to them. Coupled with the filter of relatives, it's hard to guarantee that they won't regard the Qi family as good people.
Qi Huang believes in the goodness of human nature, but he never doubts the evil side of human nature. With him around, the life of this family will definitely prosper. If the two children are still acting like a fool, that would be bad.
So he didn't hide the truth from these two children, and told all the things he suffered when he was a child, and how those in the Qi family bullied him when he grew up.
Qi Tieniu thought that his father had been wronged so much when he didn't know it, and his eyes turned red immediately, as if he was about to cry.
And Qi Tiezhu's eyes were also red, he squeezed the white flour steamed bun in his hand, and asked in a muffled voice: "Then why are you so stupid, Dad? You have been fooled by them once or twice, and you still fall for it all the time? "
Qi Huan: "..."
Although this child usually looks naive, but at the critical moment, those questions really hit the core. Isn't the original owner just a fool
The brainwashing since he was a child has already formed the temperament of the original owner. Facing his own parents, sisters and brothers, he always cares about the blood relationship, and feels that their life is not good, so he can help.
But he didn't think about it either, whether it was Qi Baozhu or Qi Baolin and Qi Baoshu, who of them had a better life than him? They were looking for him just to exploit him. How can life be difficult
The original owner supported his relatives, but he didn't want to wrong his family members, so he worked harder, and his body was gradually exhausted. To say that he is stupid is not to scold him.
"In the past, I was confused. I always felt that I was a family, and I could help if I could. But now that I think about it, I treat them as a family, but they treat me as a victim. Since they don't take me seriously, why should I be so helpless?" What about the two of you, you two are the same, when you face them, you have to be careful and observe carefully, whether it is true or false, you can tell it at a glance."
Seeing the crying faces of the two children, Qi Huang smiled, stretched out his hands and rubbed their heads: "Okay, it's all over, now your father is not stupid anymore, it won't be the same as before It was wrong, now we will work harder and work together to live a prosperous life, you study hard, Dad will be your solid backing, and when you are promising in the future, you will repay Dad well.”
Today's conversation with Qi Wang touched the hearts of the two children. They nodded solemnly, expressing that they will definitely work hard.
The original owner is not bad to the two children, but he is limited by his own vision. His so-called good may not be understood by the two children. Fortunately, the two children have not been raised, and they are sensible. Very, I also know that I feel sorry for his father. I broke the truth and told them to listen to them. The two children also know that although they didn't say anything, they have made a secret decision in their hearts. They will definitely study hard in the future. When I grow up, I will be filial to my father.
Although the father and son were tired physically, they felt extremely comfortable in their hearts. He greeted the two children to eat, and after the end, Qi Wang asked them to clean up the dishes and wash up, while he lit the kerosene lamp and continued to work in the back.
The chickens have already been brought back, and the chicken coop can't be left empty. He has been busy and put up the chicken coop early, so he can feel more relaxed.
After the two children finished their work, they wanted to come over to help Qi Wang, but he sent him back to sleep.
"Okay, it's just such a little work, can I still do it by myself? I need you two and a half older children to help me, and I have to go to school tomorrow. If I'm exhausted, don't I want to doze off in class? Go Go, go back quickly, don't add trouble to me."
Qi Wang didn't let the two of them help, and the two brothers didn't have anything to do with it, so they left the backyard with one step and three turns.
The two brothers washed and lay down on the bed, but they still didn't feel sleepy. Qi Tiezhu tossed and turned on the bed for a while, shaking the bed until it creaked. Turning around, he looked across to Qi Tieniu who was also not asleep.
"Brother, I always feel uneasy. Our dad is so stupid, what should we do if he is cheated by someone in the future? We have so many chickens and eggs in our house, what if someone comes to steal ours?"
In the past, Qi Tiezhu was not hungry, he didn't think about anything, his biggest thought was that he would eat something good if his stomach was full, but after listening to their father's words today, there are more melon seeds in his head Something else.
People have said that if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Big trees attract wind, and big wealth attracts thieves. There are so many good things in their house now. After he and Qi Tieniu go to school, their father is left alone at home. What can I do
"These are all in exchange for money, and our family's conditions are not good. If it is stolen, the loss will be great."
After hearing what his younger brother said, Qi Tieniu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Okay, look at what you are talking about, don't you hope for something better? They are all people who live in the same village. , have you heard about petty theft in the past? No, it’s nothing like that.”
Qi Tiezhu said unconvinced: "In the past, no one has collected so many chickens in the house. You can honestly say that you are not envious after seeing so many things? Don't say anything else, just the second uncle and the third uncle's family, they What's the difference between a thief and a thief?"
After hearing Qi Tiezhu's words, Qi Tieniu stopped talking, and he fell silent. After a long time, he said: "Then what do you think we can do? Dad will definitely not agree that the two of us don't go to school, or bring the stepmother back... "
Qi Tiezhu interrupted him: "You should dismiss this idea as soon as possible. What kind of good people are stepmother and elder brother? After finally being cleared out, you are invited to come back. Isn't this a panic? Let me tell you, let's do it. The two dogs came back to guard the gate."
Qi Tieniu was taken aback for a moment, thinking it was a good idea. You must know that the village head and a few wealthy families in the village all have dogs, and the key is to be sincere and not afraid of any crooked thoughts.
"Sure, Huzi's family said that their dog gave birth to a pup some time ago, let's go ask and see if we can get a dog."
After the two brothers discussed it, they quickly made a decision.
Of course Qi Wang didn't know that his two boys had already started to think of ways to protect the family, and when he was busy working until midnight, he finally finished the rest of the work.
Although his body is quite strong, he was very tired after working day and night for so long. After tidying up a bit, Qi Wangxian went to look at his chicks and eggs. Just went back to the room and fell asleep.
The next day Qi Wang was still very busy. After the big things were done, there were many trivial things. It was not that simple to hatch the chickens. The temperature and humidity had to be controlled, and there were no bad guys. It was a day that passed.
When school was over in the afternoon, Qi Tieniu and Qi Tiezhu came back later than usual. As soon as they entered the door, Qi Wang saw the things they were holding in their arms.
"Dad, we'll get you a big black dog."
The two little fellows ran up to Qi Wang, and presented the things in their arms to Qi Wang as if they were offering treasures.
It was a month-old little black dog, it looked cute, Qi Wang raised his hand to pet it, and asked where the two of them got it.
The two brothers did not hide it from Qi Wang, telling him that it was carried from a classmate's house.
"Huzi's family has several dogs. This pup is precious to others, but not to him. He gave it around before, but there was only one left, so he gave it to us."
Qi Tiezhu looked at Qi Wang with a smile and said: "Dad, we are raising this dog. When it is a little older in two months, it will be able to take care of the nursing home. We don't feel at ease when you are alone at home. We have this dog to help. Busy, we can rest assured."
In fact, Qi Wang also planned to catch two big dogs to watch the gate guard, but he didn't expect these two children to think of it first. Although such a small dog is of no use for the time being, Qi Wang still praised them. Fan.
"You two are very thoughtful. This is the benefit of going to school. You can't think of it when you look at Dad. You are much better than Dad."
Qi Wang was not as stingy in praising the children as the original owner. The two of them did a good job, and Qi Wang naturally praised them, making the two children feel embarrassed.
After the dog was brought back, Qi Wang strengthened the courtyard wall of his house and erected broken wine bottle slag on the wall to prevent thieves. This is the simplest way to prevent thieves, but although it is simple, it is quite effective.
After a few days of busy work like this, several unexpected guests came to the door. At this time, Qi Wang was taking two children to reinforce the chicken coop at the back. Someone came, so he had to put down his work and come to welcome the guests.
The people who came were the original owner's parents, brothers and sisters, they came a bit later than Qi Wang expected, but judging from their posture, I am afraid that the people who came were not kind.
As for their reason for coming, Qi Wang knew without thinking, Zuo was only for the original owner's money, other than these, they would not come to the door.
"You are here. I am busy and have no time to entertain you. I hope you don't care about me."
Facing their family members, Qi Wang had no expression on his face, and his tone was also indifferent, no one could see his alienation and indifference.
There are quite a lot of people here today. The old man Qi, the old lady Qi, the couple Qi Baozhu, Qi Baolin and Qi Baoshu are all here. Such a big family, with a total of eight people, does not look like a guest Yes, on the contrary, it seems to be looking for faults.
Qi Tieniu and Qi Tiezhu took advantage of the time when Qi Wang led the man into the house, and secretly ran out of the house, and ran towards the brigade headquarters as if flying.
The two brothers were very fast, and they ran to the brigade headquarters in a short time. After entering the brigade headquarters, the two brothers didn't say anything, followed Qi Wang's instructions, opened their mouths and began to cry. Said.
"Uncles, go to my house quickly, someone wants to rob our house."
