The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 36 Third Uncle Wants to Repent

Zhao Youli looked at his wife and children standing aside and asked them to kneel down together.

Zhao Yunxuan's brother and sister didn't have any ideas, so they knelt down obediently.

Wu and Zhao Yunshu were very reluctant. In the end, they knelt slowly under Zhao Laosan's scolding.

In the hall, Old Zhaotou didn't understand the reason, but he didn't stop it.

I heard Zhao Laosan say in a tearful voice: "Father, mother, brothers and sisters-in-law. Today I lead everyone from the third house to apologize to everyone. In the past, our husband and wife were petty, selfish, and careless. I also know how many of you, the third house, We all have opinions and ideas, but they also don’t care too much for the sake of our small family and children.”

He talked about all the selfish thoughts he had, and when his eldest brother was injured, he was afraid that his injury would not be cured. He would waste all his money and drag himself down. He once selfishly wanted to separate the family.
  He also said that when he was serving in the army, he heard more than once that someone was envious of him and envied him for having a good brother, sister-in-law and a good family.

In winter, despite the biting cold wind, I still have to come to bring him food. He envied himself for having such a harmonious family, and said that if only his family would be willing to do this for him.

Even if he is exhausted working for the family, he is still willing to do so.

Only then did he realize how enviable his life was.

At the same time, I also regretted my selfish actions.

He was shocked when he heard his little niece in the county say that even though she was young, she still had her own responsibilities.

He talked about all the wrong things he had done in the past and his determination to change.

Only then did everyone understand the reason.

Looking at his crying son, Lao Zhaotou also said with emotion: "Third brother, I am very happy that you can understand. After you came back from the service, your mother and I have seen the changes in you.

I hope you can remember what you said and are sincerely willing to change. Of course, you don’t have to worry about children studying.

I treat all the descendants of the Zhao family equally, as long as they can get out. Even if I eat glutinous rice, I will find a way to get them to study. "

After that, let Sanfang and his family get up.

However, Zhao Youli looked at his brother and sister-in-law and did not get up.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou asked her eldest, second and younger brother to help her up.

Zhao Yunxi looked at the smiles on the faces of the two elders, and then looked at the third uncle who was holding his two brothers and crying. Some conflicts and estrangements cannot be eliminated by crying or admitting your mistake.

I hope he really wants to change!
  In the afternoon, Old Zhaotou told everyone about the fact that the plow drawings were sold for fifty taels of silver, and looked at the surprise and surprise in everyone's eyes.

Zhao Youliang and Zhao Yunbai, who were sitting in the main room, secretly despised them in their hearts.

If I let you know the real price, I guess you would be so scared that you wouldn't be able to sleep.

at night.

After being away for a few days, the group finally had a good meal today. The food cooked by the man in the family can only be said to be enough to survive starvation.

After the meal, Zhao Yunxi quietly found the two elders, took out 450 taels of silver notes and handed them over.

Seeing the two elders' faces that were five parts frightened, three parts surprised and two parts surprised, Zhao Yunxi told the reason why he hid it.

At that time, I didn’t dare to be too showy on the street. In fact, the most important thing is to guard against some third uncles. Of course, this cannot be said.

When the two heard this, they felt that this child was too courageous to hide such an important matter from others.

Oh, no. The boss and Shiro also know.

"Ah Weng, Grandma, keep this money and don't tell anyone. In the future, my brothers may take exams or study. At least you don't have to worry about not having enough money."

Mrs. Zhou looked at her cute little granddaughter and felt comforted in her heart.

But I felt sorry for this child, and he took care of the family at a young age.

"Xiao Jiu, grandma knows that you are smart. But you must remember what grandma told you and don't forget it."

Looking at Mrs. Zhou with a loving face, Zhao Yunxi smiled and acted coquettishly at the old man.

After a long time, Old Zhaotou said: "I know you kid is very smart. Keep these fifty taels well. Whether it's buying books or doing other things, you can take care of it yourself."

Zhao Yunxi looked at the banknote handed to him by the old man and felt moved in his heart. She didn't expect that Old Zhaotou would take the initiative to give her money. Thinking of the five hundred taels in her own space, she felt an inexplicable guilty conscience. Seeing that her granddaughter was still refusing to take it, Mrs. Zhou thrust the banknote into her hand.

"Give it to you and keep it."

Zhao Yunxi looked at the banknote in his hand and said thank you with a smile.

After returning to the room, Zhao Yunxi told her father the matter.

"Since it was given to you by your grandma, then you should keep it. It's just the other money, you must keep it safe. This is not a small amount of money."

Her father was not jealous at all, nor did he ask for money.

"Dad, don't worry! No one can find the place where I hide my money but me."

Seeing the proud look on his little girl's face, Zhao Youliang felt like he couldn't stand it.

He told her to cover herself with quilt and go to bed early, and then went back to the next door.

The next day.

When Zhao Yunxi entered the house, she saw her father packing farm tools and starting to prepare for spring plowing.

"Dad, didn't you say you were going to make a plow for your cousin and grandpa's family? Why don't we punch out the parts that need iron before spring plowing starts, and then we can assemble it ourselves."

Listening to his little girl's words, Zhao Youliang also remembered this matter.

"Then let's fight. Once it's done, I'll go to your grandfather's house."

In the hall, Old Zhaotou listened to his granddaughter and asked Shiro to call his uncle's family.

Take the opportunity to build the windmill. After all, there are so many small and detailed tasks to do, and it will go faster if there is one more person to help.

Zhao Yunxi paid for the plowing equipment for his maternal grandfather's family. After all, it was impossible for the three brothers in the family to let the second elder pay for it from the father-in-law.

However, Zhao Yunxi still treated the second aunt's parents' family well. The second wife really cared about their eldest daughter's house.

When Zhao Yunxi's father was injured, her second uncle took out all the money he had saved.

So reciprocate the favor.

In the following time, sawdust was flying all over the Zhao family every day.

Everyone was doing various carpentry jobs while waiting for the results of the county examination.

It’s because I’ve already done it once, so everyone got started faster this time.

Ten days later, February 20th.

All preliminary preparations have been completed.

Since I made a copy for both the Yang family and the He family, the delivery was left to brothers Zhao Youliang and Zhao Youcai.

Because of his previous injury, Zhao Youliang did not go to his father-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year, but stopped by to see his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.

After the two brothers loaded the car and left, the remaining people began to assemble it in the yard.

The yard was busy with work, and seeing everyone happy, Zhao Yunxi felt extremely satisfied.

While everyone was admiring the assembled Valley Windmill.

I heard bustling noises coming from outside the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of gongs.

Why is everything so lively? I haven't heard of any weddings in the village recently!

It is human nature to like to watch the excitement, when the Zhao family walked to the gate.

Seeing the crowd approaching, a surprised smile instantly appeared on his face.
