Chapter 7 Every family has a book that is difficult to recite

As the saying goes, every family has a difficult sutra. The old man of the Qin family wanted to give a bowl of water equally and treated his three sons equally. However, Qin Hancheng and Qin Hanliang both have their own families and live very close to each other. There are always some small conflicts between the two wives and the children of the two families.

Qin Hanliang was the eldest, and he was busy with his father since he was a child, feeling that he had made great contributions to the family. He complained a little about his two brothers, because the second and third brother had both stayed abroad and had been wandering outside for several years and squandered a lot of money. After he came back, he could not help the family very much.

Qin Hancheng worked in a bank and looked very glorious, but his salary was quite good. Although he was not short of money, he did not have much savings. He looked at his elder brother's family and his clothes were not bad, and sometimes he also doubted whether his elder brother had enough money when running a yarn mill. Of course, he would not express this suspicion.

The two brothers had a little grudge, and when they arrived at the two wives, the conflict magnified.

The eldest young lady Hu Ying had never attended Western school and had only been to a private school for a few years. She stayed at home to watch the children all day long. Seeing the second young lady Zhu Wan coming in and out, having a serious job outside, and being a respected doctor, she naturally felt a little sad.

Qin Di heard the eldest uncle complaining at home more than once, and he also sarcastically and sarcastically, saying that Zhu Wan was not good, and she only gave birth to one son, but was still a sick man, a half-baby, a fool, and a ungrateful wolf. She spent countless money and took countless medicines. After taking it, she finally recovered her body, but it was not worry-free. She offended Mr. Qian with just one word. I don’t know how much trouble it would cause to the family in the future.

In terms of knowledge, Hu Ying is not as good as Zhu Wan, but in terms of having children, she is much stronger than Zhu Wan! She has three sons and three daughters, and Zhu Wan only has one son and two daughters. So Hu Ying has confidence, in other words, that is called "extreme combat power."

Zhu Wan has a broad vision and is not limited to her home. She is a knowledgeable woman and has no time to finish her work and is too lazy to bother with her sister-in-law, so the two of them did not fight each other head-on, but it is always inevitable to worry about her privately.

For example, in August of that year, Qin Zhao'an, the elder brother of the old man Qin Zhaoji, came from Ningbo with two family members.

The Qin family naturally held a banquet to welcome the uncle.

There were two tables at the banquet, one table for adults and one table for children.

Logically speaking, women don’t have to go to the table and can only hang out with the children, but Zhu Wan went to the main table! The reason is that Qin Zhaoan was in poor health. This time he came to the Demon City mainly to see a doctor, so he naturally counted on Zhu Wan to help.

Qin Di was sitting in front of his aunt and could see the other person's eyes rising.

Sure enough, after half of the banquet, Hu Ying heard the people there praise Zhu Wan for her cleverness and ability, and she became more and more angry. Seeing that Qin Di was eating quickly, it was like a wind swaying the clouds. A six-year-old child ate two big bowls in a while. The food on the table was swept apart, and she immediately added fuel to the fire!

Hu Ying couldn't suppress her anger and stared at Qin Di with her eyes and said, "A Di, although you are young, you must also follow the rules. We are a wealthy family, eat elegantly, don't be like a starving ghost!"

Qin Di just let out a light "um" and his moves faster.

"Well, this old turtle is good. Although it doesn't have much meat, it's a big tonic! My uncle, you should lose weight! I'll drink this soup for you, okay?"

Three cousins, plus cousin and cousin, stared at each of them.

The eight-year-old Qin Ling was a little scared and gently pulled Qin Di's sleeve: "Brother, stop eating, let's go home to eat."

Qin Di said, "This is our family, where else should we go?"

Hu Ying was so angry that she was panting heavily. She couldn't help it anymore, so she simply threw away the chopsticks and stopped eating.

Qin Di ate three bowls of rice at a very fast speed, then ran away.

When he returned to his room, he could still hear Hu Ying's gritting teeth and what the uncle Qin Zhaoan said on the main table.

Qin Zhaoan said that there is too much rain this year and the harvest is not good, and there may be a shortage of food next year.

Qin Di learned about the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and knew that from 1906, there were natural disasters for several consecutive years. In addition, the Qing government exploited the people and the water conservancy facilities could not keep up, resulting in a more and more serious food shortage. Almost half of China, from Zhejiang to Anhui to Hunan and Hubei, hungry people were everywhere and wandering around. This famine reached its peak in 1910, followed by the Xinhai Revolution. Of course, this was just the first wave of famine, and there was a second and third wave next. It can be said that China, which suffered a lot, had a tragic life.

If you have enough funds and older, Qin Di would like to set up a grain shop, which specializes in importing grain from abroad and then sell it in the mainland. However, reselling grain is not a huge profit, and it costs a lot of manpower and material resources. If you catch up with the riot, you may be robbed by the victims.

When the banquet ended, their parents returned slowly.

Qin Di asked Qin Hancheng: "Grandpa said there was a famine, why didn't our family set up a food business? Even if it was a smaller scale, the business would not lose money."

Qin Hancheng explained with a smile: "No! Your master just wants to expand the operation of the yarn mill. As the saying goes, if you have a specialty in your profession, we can only do one job."

Mother Zhu Wan explained: "If we don't get your master's support, our family will not have enough funds! Even if we sell our property, we can only make up seven or eight thousand oceans. Do you think about it, how many stones can we sell for four yuan per stone or eight thousand oceans?"

Qin Di said: "Two thousand stones! One stone is equal to a hundred kilograms, and two thousand stones are equal to one hundred tons."

Qin Hancheng said: "Grain transportation is very troublesome, the scale is not enough, and you can't make money."

Qin Di thought about it and forgot it, because hundreds of tons of grain is not enough to load a ship, and if you want to travel to the ocean, you will have to do it thousands of tons. In this year, the larger ships have already had tens of thousands of tons.

Days passed day by day, and two years passed in a blink of an eye. Qin Di was eight years old. Because he took medicine frequently, breathing and breathing, absorbing the faint purple air in the sunlight, his body became stronger and stronger.

During this period, Qin Han wanted to send him to school, but Qin Di refused to go.

Qin Hancheng had no choice but to beat him or scold him, so he could only talk: "How can children from rich families not go to study? If they don't study, they are illiterate and will not do great things in the future... You know that you are idle basking in the sun, and you don't know that time is valuable... I remember your father, I got up at 5 o'clock and slept hard in the middle of the night... When I went to the UK, I endured so much hardship to learn English..."

Qin Di was annoyed and threw a book called "Euclidean Geometry": "You always ask a question. If I can stump me, I will go to study."

Qin Han Chengxue's major in economics was just a careless mathematics. He racked his brains to come up with a problem, but his son solved it in a few tricks!

In this way, he had nothing to say, so he could only let Qin Di stay at home.

Her mother Zhu Wan would not force her son to enter school because she learned from her father that Qin Di had even finished his high school courses by herself and did not need to enter school at all. When she is older in the future, she can just take the exam.

The old man Qin Zhaoji worked hard all his life and did business honestly. He only believed that "only one can be the best if one endured hardships" and did not believe in the nonsense of "being born to know"! He felt that Qin Di was not doing it properly, wasting his time every day. If this continues, he would definitely be a bastard who would carry cages and walk around the streets all over the streets.
