Chapter 23 The Backward Thought of Pondering Sons over Women
Zhang Lan's family did not add oil to the fish at night, but fryed it in water and the pungent fishy smell was everywhere. However, the two sisters did not find it bad, but looked at the pot with anticipation.
Big Mei Qiu turned her head and looked at the empty oil tank on the stove, shook her head helplessly, squatted down and continued to burn the fire. The crying of her sister came from the room, and her mother didn't coax her, so she let her cry there.
"Sister, when will our dad come back?" Qiu Ermei couldn't help asking, covering her stomach, looking at the pot from time to time, and there was fish stewed in it. She hadn't eaten fish for a long time, and to be precise, she hadn't eaten anything delicious for a long time. Even if there was no oil and water in it, she just added a little salt.
"I came back when I received the wages." Qiu Damei didn't look up and answered.
"Sister, I heard that our village is going to build a school, and the house has been vacated, so the teacher is just here to come.
Do you think it is possible for us to go to school?" Qiu Ermei's eyes were full of hope, she wanted to go to school.
Big Mei Qiu rolled her eyes angrily at the second sister who had been confused about the situation, and reached out to poke her forehead.
"If you are a boy, you may still go to school. Who told us to be girls?"
"Can't girls go to school? Our dad went out to help with work, and he didn't earn much money to exchange food coupons! I heard that the tuition fee would not cost much, but each family would have to pay some food for the teacher." Qiu Ermei couldn't help but refute. She eavesdropped on others that she could only do big things after being educated.
Mei Qiu touched her sister's head: "We can only blame us for being in bad luck. It would be great if we were born at my aunt's house. Maybe there is a possibility of going to school.
Our family is so poor that we have a bite. Now we have another bite. Where can we still have money to go to school? Where can we get food? You can stop this idea!" After saying that, he shook his head and continued to lower his head to burn the fire.
Qiu Ermei had tears in her eyes and eyes: "Sister, I want to study! Only with culture can I have a future. Now I can't even write my own name, wouldn't I live in vain?"
Big Sister Qiu wanted to say something about the yelling and scolding coming from the house.
"How come you two dead girls cook for so long? Do you want to starve me to death?" Zhang Lan cursed at the two girls without hesitation. In her eyes, her daughter is just a grass, what else can she do besides having idle meals?
Only by having a son in the countryside can one be strong. She gave birth to three money-losing goods in one breath, and felt more and more that she had no confidence in her heart. She could only find a sense of existence when scolding her daughter.
Her husband Qiu Sheng also said that she should not make things difficult for her daughters too much. She was even more jealous of her husband's kindness to her daughter, so she became even worse when her husband was not at home.
Big Mei Qiu quickly stood up and replied: "Mom, wait a little longer. It's not long before the fish is put into the pot. You can have a meal after a while."
"Hurry up and work for me, otherwise, no one of you sisters will want to eat today. This fish was exchanged for my mother's milk and has nothing to do with you." After Zhang Lan said this, she lay down and rested and prepared to drink fish soup for a while.
Qiu Ermei looked at the dilapidated door curtain, which was dirty: "Sister, why are our lives so bad?"
