Chapter 128: Xia Daman's Decision
Xia Feier looked at Yu for a moment, then looked at the fourth master in a very puzzled manner and said, "Fourth master, can't we live in a house like our family? Why do we have to live in a house like the fourth uncle's family? Such a house is good, but it's very expensive. When grandparents live there, we have to spend twenty cents more a month, which is almost enough for us to eat more than ten days of food. I think it's not a good deal. Anyway, all houses are occupied, so we can live in it." After Xia Feier finished speaking, she still acted and shook her head as if she couldn't figure it out.
The fourth uncle saw that Fei'er was not a big girl, but she was very mature in her words, and she knew how to plan like this. She immediately laughed. After laughing, he touched Fei'er's head with a kind face and said to Xia Fugui: "Fugui, your girl is well raised. If you have time in the future, let her come to our house to learn to recognize some words. It is hard to say that she can become a female scholar in the future."
Xia Fugui just watched Fei Fei'er suddenly walk to the Fourth Grandpa, and was afraid that this girl would not be able to speak, so he hit the Fourth Grandpa, causing the old man to get angry. It would be awesome if he hits her like a hit Xia Daman. He kept hanging in his heart. When he heard the Fourth Grandpa praise Fei'er, he immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Fourth Grandpa, it's nothing. This girl is just a little polite. I don't expect a female scholar, but it would be best if the Fourth Grandpa was willing to teach her."
The fourth uncle nodded, then looked at Xia Feier and said, "Fei'er girl, the fourth uncle teaches you to read in the future, are you willing?"
To be honest, Xia Feier was really unwilling to do it. Although the words at this time were a little different from those in her previous life, most of them could recognize them based on guesses. She did not plan to take the exam for a scholar, nor did she rely on this to make a living. She learned so much, but she thought again that although she didn't want to study, she could let Baozhu and Xia Tiezhu go.
Baozhu is better. Anyway, he will send him to school next year, so it will not be too late for him to learn to recognize words. However, Xia Tiezhu and Xia Feier really want him to know more words. It is related to Xia Tiezhu and Xia Feier learning to draw these days. Originally, Xia Feier thought that painting itself was a very boring thing. Xia Tiezhu said that it was hard to learn for a few days, but he felt it was difficult and would not learn it. But he didn't expect Xia Tiezhu to endure the boredom and learn it very seriously.
And not only that, except for painting, if he sees any words on the drawing, he will ask Xia Feier seriously and ask her what it means. Then he copyed it from the top and looked extremely studious. Every time Xia Feier saw him, she felt sad for a while. She felt that a person like Xia Tiezhu who had a good appearance and a smart mind should be the kind of civil and military talents that people say. But because his family was poor, he couldn't read a word. It was too buried.
In the past few days, Xia Fei'er will also teach him to know some words, but Xia Fei'er is a half-bucket of water at this time. She can't recognize the words completely, and some words can't be expressed. Even if she knows what it means, she can't describe them, and some words can't be expressed in words at this time. She is also very frustrated and is even more afraid that she will teach Xia Tiezhu badly. This is just right, the Fourth Master proposed this matter and can let Xia Tiezhu learn it. It seems that the Fourth Master must be a little knowledgeable and is better than him.
So Xia Feier thought for a while and immediately nodded and replied, "Well, Fourth Master, I will go with you to recognize words in the future, but can you go every day?"
When the Fourth Master heard Xia Feier ask this, he thought she was so studious, and immediately smiled brightly: "Well, as long as you have time, you can, the Fourth Master is at home every day."
"Well, okay, I'll go if I have time." Xia Feier quickly agreed, but immediately she added: "Fourth Master, if I don't have time, I'll ask my fourth brother to go on my behalf. When he learns, I'll come back to teach me. OK? I still have a lot of housework at home, so I'm afraid I can't go every day."
As Xia Feier said that, she pointed to Xia Tiezhu who was standing beside her. The Fourth Master looked at her fingers. While looking at Xia Tiezhu, the Fourth Master looked at Xia Tiezhu for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, that's fine. If you don't have time, let your fourth brother come and learn, and he will teach you again when he goes back."
Xia Feier immediately gave Xia Tiezhu a wink, meaning that he wanted him to come to the Fourth Master and talk to the Fourth Master, even if he was familiar with it, but Xia Tiezhu seemed to be born without knowing how to deal with people. Although he was very willing to learn to recognize words with the Fourth Master, Xia Feier asked him to go over, but he didn't know what he could say and do in the past. After a long time of delay, he didn't go over.
People here said this so excitedly, but Yu and the fourth brother were anxious, especially Yu's eyes were full of anger when they saw Xia Feier standing beside the Fourth Master, and they wanted Xia Feier to disappear out of thin air. She took advantage of Xia Tiezhu's delay and immediately intervened: "Uncle Fourth, can we wait for this child to read later? We haven't figured out this matter yet. The matter of pension money cannot be missed. They give 60 cents a month, and we have just enough. If it is reduced, we will have no way out."
Although the Fourth Master is old, he is extremely smart. He heard a lot of information from the words of these people just now and made a decision. He deliberately did not speak, just to hear what Yu Shi's attitude was. He wanted to see if she could listen to the truth that he had told Yu Shi so much. But when he saw Yu Shi's performance, it was obvious that his words were of no use to her. It seemed that this was a person who could not make any effort, so he did not need to save face.
But after hearing Yu's words, the Fourth Grandpa didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Xia Daman who had been standing beside him and asked, "Daman, what should you do about this matter? Do you still want to live in your fourth family? Is it the same as before?"
In fact, for Xia Daman, he felt that his little granddaughter Fei'er said very well. He moved out alone and the four sons would pay for retirement together in the future. Everyone looked at each other. Even if they gave it forty cents a month, it seemed to be less than now, but it was almost the same, because there were only three people who gave it to it before, and the fourth family would not give it to it. If he didn't live in the fourth family, the fourth family would have to give it to it, and it would be different to pay it to the fourth family. In terms of calculation, it might be more in the future, and this would be good for everyone.
Although the old couple lived in the fourth family over the years, outsiders saw them living in such a good house, and they looked envious of their faces, saying how filial their son was and how they enjoyed their happiness, but in fact, only he knew whether they lived in a comfortable and comfortable life. He didn't know how his old wife was, but he felt extremely uncomfortable.
There are many reasons for discomfort. First, no matter how good the house of my son is, it is not their own. With the temperament of the fourth family, to be honest, he doesn’t know how long he can live, one year, two years, or several months? Anyway, he always feels that no matter how good he is, it is not his own home. He is always uneasy, and he still has his own place to feel at ease.
Second, the fourth brother's wife is really amazing. Although she usually doesn't make noises with them, the means of forcing them are extremely powerful. She originally said that they would not pay pension money for rent a month, but she always had to make excuses to ask for money twice a month, at least 10 to 20 cents each time. It's good to get there. If you don't have to say a lot of harsh words, if Yu continued to talk, she would ask them to move out, saying that renting a house to others is not just that much money. It was a little better before, and she said that it was a little better in a month. But since the last time she started a fuss at Fugui's house and people were talking about her, she almost said every day that they had no place to move, and Yu was extremely concerned about face and was always so fussed that they didn't even dare to reply. Xia Daman felt that if he took this opportunity to move out, at least he would be better in terms of face. He could also say that they moved out by themselves, not by his daughter-in-law.
The third point is that although Xia Daman thought too much about him, he would occasionally think of other sons. He felt that the burden on his sons was indeed heavy. If he could reduce it for them a little, he would have done his best.
Although Xia Daman had many of his own ideas, Yu's family always had the idea of everything. He really didn't dare to make decisions alone in such a big deal. Although the fourth master Gang said a lot of things like shaking his husband's roots, he also made up his mind that if he encountered anything wrong in the future, he would definitely say it, but when the matter came, he still didn't dare to speak. When the fourth master asked him, he didn't answer immediately, but just glanced at Yu's.
When Yu saw Xia Daman's eyes, he immediately nodded to him, meaning that he would answer yes. Not only Yu, but also the fourth couple on the side also kept winking at Xia Daman and making him nod. Xia Daman received Yu's instructions and also saw the fourth and the others' eyes. However, because it was not what he thought, he felt very conflicted at this time and did not make a sound.
