Chapter 23, Encouragement to Learn

When Yang Xiaole came to the door of the hall, he heard Wang Qiuju talking there.

"You are saying that your sister is nothing, right? People from all over the country are trying to send girls to them. Even people from the next town come to let Xiaomei go with a lame man and a bachelor whose wife is dead.

Look at each other. Is this something done by her sister-in-law?"

Wang Qiuju put her hands on her hips and yelled angrily at Yang Guangzhi.

Yang Guangzhi, on the other hand, was smoking there without talking.

However, he still murmured cautiously: "What if we find out too late, people will take advantage of all the good things!"

"You...she said so, and you still spoke for her..."

Wang Qiuju was very angry when she heard this.

Yang Xiaole walked closer, listened to the words of the two people, and said with a smile: "Mom, okay, how old is the eldest sister now? By the way, have you scolded my sister-in-law for saying this?"

"I……"

Wang Qiuju was unhappy for a moment, and then said: "There is someone here, and I came to ask for help. Can I scold her? If someone talks behind her back, Xiaomei's reputation will be ruined."

Then if Xiaomei wants to go over in the future, won’t she have no chance?”

"Mom, if you don't tell me when you go over there, what's the use of talking to dad here? If I were you, I would hold a glass of water and stand in front of his house and argue with her all day long."

He just made a joke.

My wife is making noises, but if I ask her to do it, she really can't do it.

"Pfft!"

Wang Qiuju suddenly became happy when she heard her son's words.

He laughed and cursed: "You bastard, did you deliberately bury your mother?"

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he felt aggrieved for a while and looked at Yang Guangzhi: "Dad, mother is scolding you!"

Father Yang Guangzhi glanced sideways, and his calm face trembled.

A deep voice came over: "Get out!"

"Hey, okay, get out now!"

Yang Xiaole went to the kitchen dejectedly.

I couldn't do it without eating, and my hands began to shake a little.

Following Yang Xiaole's words just now, Wang Qiuju was no longer so angry.

He said to Yang Guangzhi: "Okay, let's talk about it later. I still don't believe it. My eldest daughter is so handsome, so she can't find a good husband."

Yang Guangzhi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Seeing his expression, Wang Qiuju's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

"No, no, it looks good!"

Yang Guangzhi quickly shook his head. It was not that he was laughing at his daughter for not being good-looking. On the contrary, the eldest girl was really good-looking.

He was just amused by Wang Qiuju's confidence.

Yang Xiaole came to the kitchen.

The eldest sister is making rice in the kitchen, and Lao Wu is lighting a fire under the pot.

Xizi, on the other hand, was lying on the pot table, drooling, waiting for food.

The dish was still fish that had not been finished at noon. Wang Qiuju was not willing to serve it all, leaving a small half.

Looking at the dozen tortillas that had been prepared next to him, Yang Xiaole knew that it was a foregone conclusion to go out at night.

Otherwise, my mother would be reluctant to make so many tortillas.

He reached out and took a piece and bit it.

This pancake is more fragrant than porridge, and it also comes with crispy rice.

Yang Xiaomei glanced at him and said nothing. This guy was in poor health and had my mother's permission.

Yang Xiaole looked at the eager Xizi, broke off a small piece and handed it to him.

Then he ignored him and asked Yang Xiaomei in a low voice: "Sister, do you want to go to school?"

Although his eldest sister is one year older than him, she is only one year ahead of him.

I just graduated from elementary school this year.

It's just that my mother won't let him go to school.

The reason why all the children in the family go to school is thanks to Mrs. Zhao Jinhua.

This old lady is also a discerning person.

So even if the second child's grades were poor, they would still send them to school. However, due to their bad genes, they dropped out of school before even entering junior high school.

The eldest sister actually works very hard, but her grades are only average.

For rural areas, if a girl can help you go to primary school and graduate from elementary school, that is already a good thing for you.

So the eldest sister is now ready to do housework at home.

In the past, I had no money and no ability, so I couldn't help.

Now that I have the ability, why do I have to stay at home and do housework at such a young age, and then wait a few years to get married.

You can’t blame the mother entirely, after all, this is the way most rural people think.

When Yang Xiaomei heard his words, her movements in her hands paused.

She said with a disappointed look on her face: "Of course I want to go to school! But my mother won't let me..."

Yang Xiaole took a bite of the tortilla and said with a smile: "Sister, you listen to me, I will definitely let you go to school."

"real?"

Yang Xiaomei turned around with surprise on her face.

"Well, just listen to me. Just agree to whatever I tell mom later. Do you hear me?"

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he pointed at the smoking fish pot and said, "It's burnt!"

"ah!"

Only then did Yang Xiaomei react, stir-fry a few times, and shout down: "Lao Wu, stop burning it, take out the firewood!"

"oh!"

Xiaoli's voice came from below.

At this time, Yang Xiaomei turned around and asked with a serious face: "Third brother, don't lie to me? Can I really go to school?"

"believe it or not!"

After that, he took the tortillas and went back.

"Hey, I believe it, I believe it!"

Yang Xiaomei shouted quickly.

All I could see was Yang Xiaole waving his hands.

Seeing that she was anxious for a while, she quickly took out the hot fish pot and asked the two little guys to carry the things to the main room for dinner.

Yang Xiaole came out of the kitchen and saw his elder brother coming in pulling a donkey with a cart hanging behind it.

I knew I was going out tonight.

Without saying anything, he came to the main room.

At this time, a faint fragrance came from the room.

There are a lot less mosquitoes in the house.

Yang Xiaole looked down and saw a ham sausage emitting black smoke under the Eight Immortals table.

Then he smiled and said: "Mom, who made this water mallet?"

This thing looks like a sausage, but it's actually a water reed flower.

It's a good thing to use to smoke mosquitoes when dried.

He has been suffering from mosquitoes these past few days, mainly because the area around this thing has been exposed to light.

While lighting the kerosene lamp, Wang Qiuju said: "Oh, your brother touched one when he went to the river to wash clothes."

Yang Xiaole didn't know where this guy touched it.

Didn't care either.
