Rebirth: Family Chaebol

"Yes, they went to your aunt's house early this morning." Chen Yongying wiped her hands with an oiled rag. Rural women are not so particular. When she spoke, Chen Yongying's eyebrows showed a trace of sadness. She also didn't know how much money her man could borrow from his sister's house today.

When Yuan Fangguo heard this, he suddenly felt a little sad. He knew that his father Yuan Chengzhu and his grandmother Qin Mingzhen were going to his aunt's house to borrow tuition fees for him. I rely on my uncle raising ducks and my aunt's farm work to make a living on weekdays. From my aunt's house to my house, I have to walk more than 30 kilometers of mountain roads. My grandmother is an old lady with small feet, and she walks very slowly. Will not be back before the point.

When he thought of tuition fees, Yuan Fangguo didn't eat much, because he knew that his father couldn't borrow much money from his aunt's house this time, and he was still 100 yuan away from his tuition fees. If he remembered correctly, it was high school later. After hearing the news that he had no money to go to school, the group leader of his grade quickly called on the teachers of his age to donate money for him. Teachers, you are five yuan, and I have ten yuan. Only then did Yuan Fangguo collect the toll.

The third brother and the fourth sister devoured two large bowls of rice until their stomachs could not hold it any longer, and then they gave up.

Yuan Fangguo didn't ask his younger brothers and sisters to clean up, but after they finished eating, he walked into the kitchen alone with dishes and chopsticks.

After waiting for him to clean up, he came to the main room and helped his mother clean the dustpan for silkworm raising.

Every other day, when a thin layer of silkworm manure is spread, it is necessary to start cleaning the manure that sticks to the dustpan, otherwise, the silkworms will easily get sick.

This is a delicate job, because the family can’t bear the money to buy the net bag for feeding silkworms. They can only catch the silkworms one by one, and then clean them up. The family feeds twenty silkworms on the dustpan, and if the mother is busy alone, she will do it. At eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, this is also the last season of autumn silkworms. After the cocoons are sold out early next month, the first season of early silkworms of next year will have to wait until May or June.

In the past, the family counted on silkworm cocoons and crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and wheat to exchange tuition for their brothers and sisters.

Right now, Yuan Fangguo was about to go to college, and his family's economic conditions became even more stretched.

While helping his mother to clean up the feces of the silkworms, Yuan Fangguo saw the third brother and the fourth sister yawning constantly, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You two, go wash your face and feet quickly, and then go to bed."

Unexpectedly, the two of them were very stubborn, shook their heads, cheered up again, and helped clean up together.

At ten o'clock in the evening, my father and grandmother finally returned home.

"Have you borrowed it?" Under the eaves, the mother whispered.

Yuan Chengzhu nodded embarrassedly, "I borrowed it, but it's not much, it's still 100 yuan away."

"Where should I borrow these fifty dollars?" For a while, Chen Yongying also became like an ant on a hot pot.

"Boss, I'm going to ask the second child for a loan tomorrow." At this time, grandma Qin Mingzhen finally spoke.

"Mom, don't go, you don't want to be wronged when you go." Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying said together.

"No, my eldest grandson's tuition is more important than this grievance." Qin Mingzhen seemed to be determined.

Yuan Chengzhu has two brothers and three sisters. The eldest is Yuan Chengliang. When he was young, he couldn't find a wife. When he was forty, he married a widow with the family name of Li. As a result, Widow Li was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Yuan Chengzhu and those sisters did not get along well. Previously, Qin Mingzhen lived in the two families for half a year and a half, but it was less than half a year after Widow Li got married. Qin Mingzhen was so angry that she cried several times. Mingzhen was kind to Yuan Fangguo and his brothers and sisters. Widow Li was always sneering and ridiculing. The old lady had a low face, so naturally she couldn't stand it.

Chen Yongying and Yuan Chengzhu are also honest people. In order to prevent their old mother from being wronged when she is in her seventies, they took care of Qin Mingzhen alone.

However, Widow Li didn't seem to be satisfied, and she told everyone that Yuan Chengzhu and Chen Yongying looked honest on the face, but their stomachs were full of bad water. They were thinking about Qin Mingzhen's two adobe houses and a few acres of private land all day long. Neither Yuan Chengliang nor Yuan Chengliang had the opportunity to honor the elderly.

"Mom, that woman is very crooked." Yuan Chengzhu looked embarrassed.

"Boss, it's alright. I only choose to go when she's not at home. I don't believe that the second child is so ruthless." Qin Mingzhen's face was determined.

Thinking that the second child, Yuan Chengliang, had a good relationship with his brothers and sisters when he was a bachelor, but after Widow Li arrived, Yuan Chengzhu had no choice but to nod and agree with his mother to give it a try.

"Let's all go in, don't talk nonsense." Qin Mingzhen couldn't help but urged.

Chen Yongying and Yuan Chengzhu nodded involuntarily. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

When he saw his father and grandma walking in, Yuan Fangguo hurriedly asked his fourth sister to bring warm food to his father and grandma.

"Is it better?" Qin Mingzhen looked at her eldest grandson and said with a kind expression.

"Grandma, my cold and fever are completely cured, don't you believe me?" Yuan Fangguo said involuntarily.

"Let me see." Qin Mingzhen said as she stretched out her big hand like an old bark to Yuan Fangguo's forehead.

Sure enough, not hot.

"The merciful and merciful Guanyin..." Qin Mingzhen quickly put her hands together and prayed sincerely to the portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the shrine in the main room.

"Grandma, what is this?" Yuan Fangan's eyes suddenly fell on Qin Mingzhen's rag bag, a beautiful plastic bottle containing a bottle of clear liquid.

"This is incense gray water, given by the Bodhisattva." Qin Mingzhen hurriedly motioned to Yuan Fangan to bring the bottle to her.

When she heard that it was incense grey water, not a drink, Fourth Sister's mouth suddenly pouted.

Qin Mingzhen held the bottle of fragrant grey water in his hand like a treasure, and poured a bowl for everyone in the family.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva is in the spirit, drink all these, and our family will be safe, smooth, and healthy..." Qin Mingzhen looked at her three grandsons kindly.

In Yuan Fangguo's memory, he drank this kind of water a lot when he was a child. As long as he was not feeling well, his grandmother would go to a nearby temple to worship Buddha, and every time he came back, he would always bring a large bottle of incense ash water.

Yuan Fangguo nodded, picked up the earthen bowl, tilted his neck, and did everything...

Seeing this, the third brother and the fourth sister quickly followed suit.

Seeing all three grandchildren drank, Qin Mingzhen showed a kind smile.
