121 Persecution(1/2)
Two bachelors are not stupid.
The appearance of a walking zombie before was just because of being a bachelor and having his energy drained away from him.
Now that they start doing business, a lot of money comes in every day, which revives their health and their minds become more and more flexible.
They know this aspect of their business better than anyone else.
Because of the abundant affordable white sugar, their candied haws made half profit.
To put it bluntly, it's just taking advantage of Okura's backdoor benefits.
If Okura's back door cannot be opened, their dividends will be gone.
Their flourishing business has come to an end.
Life has just begun to look promising. The two bachelors are ambitious and want to make their business bigger and stronger. They have even seen the hope of starting a family and starting a business.
Okura's words immediately stunned the two bachelors.
The result of dashed hope is instant despair.
Even with the anger already brought up, the two bachelors felt that they no longer had the motivation to live if they were allowed to go back to their old days.
It's better to just die.
Seeing the desperate looks on their faces, Okura was also a little heartbroken.
He said comfortingly: "The supply is just a matter of time. It is tense these days, but maybe it will be relaxed again in a few days. This is all uncertain."
These words were like a shot in the arm, and the two bachelors suddenly became energetic again.
Okura is right.
"The two uncles still have some sugar in their hands, right?"
The two bachelors nodded desperately.
"Then use it sparingly, or else we will reduce production from tomorrow." Okura said;
"I have calculated that you can dip six pounds of sugar every day.
Those who can lose two kilograms and dip four kilograms of sugar every day will be sold first.
When the supply eases and all the sugar is used up, you can sell as much as you want for dipping.
How about it?"
The two bachelors looked at each other with complicated expressions.
During dinner, Mikura obviously lost his appetite.
Taking a bite of a steamed bun made of corn and white flour, it feels like swallowing poison.
It was obvious that he wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but the sad expression on his face betrayed his inner feelings.
Qiao Qiao always walks around the table during meals, and sometimes he even sneaks under the legs of a certain host to pick up the food that has fallen on the floor.
It has always been like this, and everyone in the family has become accustomed to it.
But tonight it probably didn't look at the almanac.
When it got under Mikura's legs, Mikura suddenly became angry and kicked it out.
Biting screamed twice and looked at San Cang innocently. I wonder why Lao San got angry suddenly?
"You still don't accept it, right?" Sancang threw the dry food and chopsticks on the table, stood up and started to bite them violently.
Seeing that something was not going well, Zhiqiao turned around and ran to the yard, followed by Sancang.
thump.
The elder brother stretched out a leg and tripped him.
"If you dare to bite me, I will throw you from the wall."
The eldest brother bit into the dry food without even looking at him.
The whole family immersed themselves in eating.
The fourth child's face turned pale, and his little head almost dropped to his crotch.
In fact, he did not report to the third brother that his eldest brother went to school.
Didn't tell anyone.
He was afraid that telling him would scare his third brother away from selling candied haws.
When Ercang came home, his eldest brother was already at home, and he had no chance to tell anyone else.
Yingzi is a trustworthy person. Her eldest brother didn't tell her anything, but she will never tell anyone about the conversation between her eldest brother and her.
Mikura got up from the ground, with tears in his eyes, glanced at his elder brother, and ran out of the house.
The person involved ran away, and the boss glanced at his family and then focused on his mother:
"Mom, has Mikura been skipping school these days?"
"Uh--" Mother glanced at the boss guiltily, "He--don't dare!"
This is a typical guilty conscience.
A tigress-like figure, she always speaks and acts crisply, sonorously and forcefully, but she never hesitates.
"What if he doesn't want to have sex?" the boss asked again.
"What do you think if the third child doesn't want to have sex?" the mother asked back.
"Don't you know what my opinion is? Now I'm asking for your opinion."
"I - it doesn't matter. Anyone who wants to go can go. If you don't want to go, don't force it."
The mother's current work focus is on the economy, and she basically has a disdainful attitude towards the education of her children.
What's the use of going to school?
If you look at her herself, she knows a few more words than other women. She can be considered a cultured person, and her life is better than others?
Or does her man's walking posture look better than others?
Learning culture is really useless.
As long as you can recognize a few words, are not blind, and can keep basic accounts during production and labor, it will be enough.
If you learn too much, you will become half a bottle of jealousy. Culture cannot be used as food, and it will become a drag, which will affect production.
"Mom, if you have this attitude, Sancang will definitely not get married." The boss said seriously:
"Of course you have the final say in this family, but I also have a say.
I am making it clear now that if Mikura dares not to go up, I will break one of his legs.
Make him unable to do physical work and force him to eat educated food."
"You -" the mother was so angry that she threw the rations on the table, "Why are you speaking so harshly? There are so many people in the village who don't go to school. Who's leg did you see get broken?"
"We don't want to compete with others." The boss said firmly:
"Who asked him to deal with a big brother like me?
Everything else is easy to discuss, except for going to school, there is no discussion."
Mother has never seen the boss so strong.
I couldn't help but feel a little timid.
Although she has always regarded herself as an educated person, she certainly does not know the principle of "obeying your father before you are married, following your husband when you are married, and following your son after her husband's death".
But the eldest child grew up first, and she suddenly discovered that the growth process of a child is actually the transformation process of the subordinate relationship with the parents.
When children are young, children are afraid of their parents. When the children get older, or even start a family, this "fear" will reverse.
Gradually, I don’t know when, parents began to become a little afraid of their children.
Especially when their children are outstanding, have a successful career, and make great contributions to the family, parents' fear will be even more serious.
It cannot be purely utilitarian. In fact, this is a very natural phenomenon.
As for the principle of "unmarried, obey your father, once married, obey your husband, and once your husband is dead, obey your son" is not a curse created by the ancients who discriminated against women.
It is a summary of social phenomena.
After a man dies, it is a great blessing for a woman to have a son to rely on.
Suddenly, a cheerful "wow" sound came from the yard.
It means someone of your own has arrived.
Before anyone came in, I heard a loud shout like a popping bean: "Who made me, Micang, cry? Stand up for me."
Before he finished speaking, a neat flea jumped out.
The eldest grandson quickly raised his hand: "Grandma, it's me."
Grandma Flea glanced at him proudly: "I knew it was you. Are you full? Come here after you are full. Your grandpa has invited me."
