She laughed at herself, and said: "Actually, I can't blame you for this matter, because you haven't read the book, so of course you can't settle the score. Think about it again, you haven't read the book, and I can't blame you." No, it¡¯s just a decimal, we can¡¯t figure it out.¡±
Daniel hesitated. He looked at the second uncle and asked, "Second uncle, what's your opinion? You have seen a lot, what can you teach me?" The second uncle took a long drag on his cigarette and drank another Taking a sip of water, he said slowly: "This matter, to be honest, I don't have a bottom line in my heart. After all, I haven't read a book, and everyone around me hasn't read a book. We don't know. What are the benefits of reading? In the past, if you read a lot of books, you might be able to be a scholar or something, or be a teacher, helping others write couplets, do calculations, write pleadings, etc. Yes. Da Niu¡¯s daughter-in-law has a saying, and there is some truth in what she said. No matter what, after reading the book, it¡¯s okay to count! But what I can¡¯t understand is that the cost is too high. If If both Dabao and Xiaobao go to study, it will cost more than 1,200 yuan a year. I believe your family may not be able to afford it. Like Dabao and Xiaobao, if they eat at home, that is, in the meal Put a few more sweet potatoes, or add a ladle of water, after going to school, two yuan a day, that is a hard ticket, can you take it out?"
His words touched on the pain points of the Daniu family. Daniel and his wife looked at each other, and they both shook their heads. Many things are just like what the second uncle said, one cow is watching, and the two cows are also watching. If you look at it separately, you will either need to increase manpower, or it will be very long. Time is unfavorable. Da Niu's wife asked Dabao and Xiaobao, "You two brothers, do you want to study?" Xiaobao nodded and said, "Of course I want to, at least a little bit. If I go to school, there are many people who play with me." Some. Now that we stay at home every day, it¡¯s really meaningless. I¡¯m going! I¡¯m going!¡± Dabao said, ¡°I¡¯m going too, my brother can go, I can go even more! If you want to read, read it together. If you don¡¯t let me read it, I can tell you that my younger brother can¡¯t either! This is my principle!¡±
Da Niu's wife said: "Dabao, why do you want to think about this? Can you compare this? I won't say whether we will send you to read it, but your idea is not worth it! You should think about it carefully. , What does the brother's matter have to do with you? If you cling to him today, he will live a hard life with you in the future. If you leave him, his life will be better than yours in the future. I believe that your brother is not an ungrateful person. As long as he has this opportunity and ability, he will definitely try to help you! Among these two results, you will Which one to choose?"
Dabao said: "Of course I will choose the first one. What is pain and what is happiness? These are all based on comparison. If we all have nothing to eat and drink, we will not be able to eat enough or wear warm clothes. , everyone is the same, and they are also happy. Just like tigers, in our eyes, tigers are invincible in the forest, but are they happy? They are not happy, because compared with us, they are at least not Speak up, right?" Everyone was a little surprised, they never thought that this little guy, who had never been taught by anyone, could still say a lot of profound truths.
He went on to say: "If my younger brother lives better than me, when I think of his good life, I sacrificed my own interests to give it to him, and I ended up living a miserable life. I think I will definitely scold myself for the rest of my life." So, I still have the same sentence, if you want to read it, read it together, if you don¡¯t read it, don¡¯t read it with anyone, if that¡¯s the case, I don¡¯t have any opinions!¡±
The second uncle sighed, and said, "Dabao, uncle knows that what you said is all nonsense, but I can't refute you! Because uncle has never read a book, he understands it in his heart but can't say it! Don't you Do you understand the difficulties of your parents? Your parents don¡¯t have so much money, and they can support both of you to study at the same time! You are old, and there is nothing you can do about it. You can¡¯t be like your brother. Let¡¯s start reading? If that¡¯s the case, you¡¯ll be seventeen or eighteen years old when you finish elementary school, and you¡¯ll be in your twenties when you finish junior high school. Tell me, is that possible?¡±
Dabao said: "I don't care about these things. My younger brother is studying at school, eats good food every day, and doesn't do any work, but I don't eat well, but I have to work every day to support him. I'm not so stupid! This Things, even if you talk about breaking the sky, it won¡¯t work! Fortunately, we are only a poor family. If we were placed in some ancient emperor or prince¡¯s mansion, I would still be the eldest son? My father¡¯s position is mine, and he has no I¡¯m qualified to compete with you, do you think so?¡± The second uncle smiled, and said, ¡°Dabao, where did you hear all this nonsense?of? What do you know? If you are really an emperor or prince, we have to assign you a special teacher! Don't talk more and more outrageous! What do you know at a young age? Talk nonsense here! "Da Niu also scolded: "Boy, now that you are still young and I am still here, it is not your turn to speak!" Listen to me obediently, or I will break your leg! Would you like to try it? Seeing that his father was angry, Dabao lowered his head and stopped talking.
A man said: "Actually, I have also seen this matter. It's not that Daniel doesn't want to send Dabao and Xiaobao to study. His problem is only one, and that is the problem of insufficient money, isn't it? A suggestion, if you can borrow money, and the money can be repaid after Dabao and Xiaobao grow up, it is the same as Dabao and Xiaobao borrowing it themselves, and they will return it when it is used on them. Are you going to do something like this?"
Da Niu and his wife looked at each other, their eyes were full of question marks, and Da Niu asked: "Borrowing money? Borrowing for so many years, at least ten years, you don't want us to borrow usurious loans? If the interest rate is too high, It¡¯s like a snowball, and we can¡¯t afford it. This matter, in my opinion, is indeed a little unreliable.¡± Da Niu¡¯s wife also said: ¡°Yes, once the interest comes I don't know how high it is, and there is no such a suitable creditor. The living expenses of Dabao and Xiaobao are at least 1,200 a year. Even if we bear a little, we have to post 500 a year, which is 5,000 for ten years. 5,000 yuan, who can borrow so much money? I think the sum of the existing balance in our village can be more than 1,000 yuan at most.¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel .com
