The best survival in troubled times

By the time the second room became quiet, it was because the second room and his wife were both honest and responsible people.

In my honest duty, I also want my children to make a career, and I don’t want my children to spend their whole lives digging in the soil and pointing to God for food.

"When the time comes for the head of the family, let's send our son to school. I'm not asking him to get a good grade, as long as he can read and not be blind in the future."

"Okay, I'll send my son there when things get better in a few years."

When a woman hears a man agree so happily and hears it, she won’t know how to say this even after a few years.

"When his uncle comes back, let him teach them."

"Okay, I will talk about this when the time comes. Anyway, his brother-in-law will teach them to be honest whenever he comes back."

"I just don't know if I can pass the exam this time. If I can pass, I might be able to get ahead in the future."

After the woman said this, the man nodded seriously.

The woman was speechless when she saw Wang Gui nodding. As long as she talked about his little sister, it was guaranteed to be a thousand and ten thousand dollars. She didn't know how her mother-in-law educated her son so successfully.

"That's not good. We have to believe in my little sister. I will definitely succeed. Some people are so old and their brains are not working well yet they still take the exam. This is the first time for our little sister. It's okay if we can't pass the exam. But, anyway, our family only supports her and she can pass the exam sooner or later."

The woman doesn't want to say a word now because if she does, she's afraid that she'll lose face and start a quarrel with the man.

In the third room, Wang Ping's wife watched the man kicking his legs on the kang.

"It's not okay for the head of the family to continue like this. It's just my little sister who studies alone, and our children are old enough."

"I know what you are busy with. Aren't my parents the final say now?"

The woman sat on the kang and looked at the man lying there with his legs dangling. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. After thinking about it, she also lay down on the kang.

"Then we can't let our children not know a word, and only my sister-in-law can know a word."

When the man heard this, he turned to look at the woman.

"That's my sister, Pearl. Why are you so open-minded when you say that? Besides, my mother has already said that Pearl will be successful sooner or later. Don't you have to support her nephew? What are you busy with?"

When the woman heard this, she didn't know what to say. Shouldn't she go out by herself? He was curious, waiting for someone else to show up.

"Then the head of the house waits until his uncle comes back and asks his old uncle to teach him how to read. Do you think that's okay?"

"Of course that's okay."

Wang Ping lay on the kang, turned to look at the woman, and his voice softened a lot.

"You think our parents have raised us so big and have raised us for so many years. If dad can do well now, we can only grow up like this because of our sister. This is the blessing brought by our sister. We can't be heartless people. "

The woman rolled her eyes in the dark when she heard this. She had almost believed it after listening to men say it for so many years.

In the room of the old man and the old lady, the old man was very worried.

"What are you worried about? I went to my elder brother's place today. There is nothing he can do. Even if the fourth child comes back, what can he do?"

"There is only one well in the village, which is for people to drink. It would be great if we could dig another well to water the ground. We can also collect some from the land."

"Everyone wants it, but do you know how to dig a well? If no one from the county comes to dig a well for you, what are you thinking about?"

The old man was very quiet when he heard this. He also knew that even if he was worried, he had nothing to do, but he was still worried.

I have such a big family, it would be uncomfortable to think about it dying of drought. What is even more uncomfortable is how will this big family live?

When he thought about the fourth child, there was nothing he could do. He also had a family to take care of, and his woman was even more difficult to deal with.

"When the fourth child comes back, the fourth child's daughter-in-law must also come back. When the time comes, don't be picky. No matter what, they are from the county."

"What's wrong with the people in the county? People in the county don't fart or eat?"

The old man doesn't want to say a word now.

I thought about it.

"Do you think our Zhuzhu can pass the exam if we take it? I heard that the government will give us food if we pass the exam?"

"Who did you listen to? Why didn't I know?"

"People outside are saying this, saying that as long as you pass the exam, regardless of your ranking, every family will be given a hundred catties of millet this time."

When the old lady heard this, her heart became alive.

"Even if you take the exam, don't you have to pay money first?"

"It seems that there is no need to pay money this time, so I want Pearl to try it."

The old lady thought for a long time and felt that her daughter could do it.

The old man looked at the old lady's face and thought to himself that he didn't know whether Zhuzhu could make it, but looking at the old lady's appearance, he felt that Zhuzhu should be able to make it.

"Then you take the girl to register tomorrow. I won't go. If I go, there will be no need to crowd people."

"You really don't want to go tomorrow."

"I won't go if I don't want to. I have to watch them at home and let them work. Even if they don't make any money, they still have to go to the fields and work for me."

"I can tell you that the girl has been left to you. You have to take care of her. If anything happens, just wait for me when you come back."

The old man hummed and nodded.

Just after dawn, Pearl heard a knock on the door.

"Pearl, get up quickly, your father wants to take you to register."

Pearl was stunned by these words. What was she going to do? What's your name?

As soon as I sat up from the kang, my wife had already entered the room.

"Look at your hair, which looks like a little straw all day long. Get up soon. Mom will comb your hair. Your dad is waiting for you."

Pearl got up in a daze and washed her face. When she looked outside, she saw that the sky was full of stars.

"What name do you want to give me? You're up so early."

"Didn't this mean there was an exam in the village? We have to sign up."

When Pearl heard this, she scratched her head. Why did she name herself? She couldn't memorize a book now.

"Good boy, go with your father and don't wander around, you know?"

Pearl followed the old man to the entrance of the village and saw an old ox cart with more than a dozen people sitting on it, including men, women and children.

The people in the car curled their lips and rolled their eyes when they saw the old man and Pearl.

The young man shouted softly when he saw the old man.

"Second uncle, Pearl."

The old man nodded.

The young man got off the handlebar and gave up his place to Pearl. Pearl looked at his own body shape, and then at the man's own body shape. They were both wider than men, even though he was not tall.

"Third brother."

"Hurry up and get in the car. This is the space reserved for you. Second uncle, you can get in the car too."

The old man was not polite at all, he pushed Pearl gently, and Pearl got in the car, and so did the old man.

The whip cracked, and the car slowly moved forward.
