Chapter 228
"Don't think that one thing will happen at a time. You can't lose your iron rice bowl. People who get seasick can't go out to sea. You'd better work hard."
Wu Hongmei also persuaded Wu Qiusheng.
In the past, their family relied on Wu Wenzheng's work as a teacher to live a relatively good life for decades. Now they heard that their eldest son wanted to quit, and the old couple didn't agree.
Hearing what the old couple said, Wu Qiusheng also shook his head and said:
"I haven't found a good way out yet. I will definitely work first. I will consider quitting when I find a better way out."
"I don't have many classes every week now. When I don't have classes, I come here to learn fishing from you. Seasickness is not a big problem. I should be able to adapt after vomiting a few more times."
In order to earn the money he earned in the past year in one day, Wu Qiusheng also made a great determination. He didn't refuse seasickness and wanted to go out to sea to fish.
Beside him, Wu Wenzheng and Wu Hongmei still didn't agree, but their son said that he wanted to learn when he didn't have classes, and they didn't say anything against it.
"Then when you are free and want to learn fishing, let's discuss it. Going out to sea also depends on the weather. We can't go out to sea every day. In addition, we usually go out to sea very early. Today is a special situation, so we are a little late."
Shen Fei still didn't agree, but said that he would talk about it later.
He planned to understand how Jin Qiaomei disgusted his second daughter first, and then decide how to treat his second uncle and others.
As he said, he brought a cage of swimming crabs and asked everyone to sit in the house first.
After arriving home, Shen Fei took a bucket of water to take a bath and change into clean clothes as usual.
The three little guys liked to jump into his arms from time to time. How could they do it if they were wearing dirty and smelly clothes?
After changing clothes, he went to the living room to make some tea and entertained Wu Wenzheng and others.
After everyone drank the tea, he rolled up his sleeves and turned to the kitchen to work.
In the kitchen,
While Shen Fei was processing swimming crabs, he asked Shen Erya:
"Erya, I heard from San'er that when you were still studying a few years ago, your aunt asked you to do odd jobs for her? Is this true?"
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the kitchen, so Shen Fei did not hide anything and asked directly.
Hearing this, Erya was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"That's true, but my aunt did give us money to help us at that time.
Let me do some odd jobs for her, just as a part-time job, it's not tiring, just cleaning her dormitory, washing clothes, fetching water and other trivial things."
"Dad, it's not good to argue with my aunt about this. It's good that someone is willing to help us at that time. It's just doing some odd jobs. If we go to her now to argue, it would be a bit ungrateful."
Let a little girl in junior high school clean, wash clothes, fetch water for her teacher and aunt...
That woman is so lazy, how can she be so embarrassed? !
Shen Fei certainly understood what Erya said.
Indeed, when the children were having a hard time, Jin Qiaomei and others could still give money to help, and it was really nothing to ask them to do some trivial chores.
It is not appropriate to blame others for this matter now, but Shen Fei felt uncomfortable listening to it. He really had something against Jin Qiaomei.
"Hey, I made you suffer."
After thinking about it, Shen Fei sighed and continued to ask,
"Did you drop out of school because of this?"
A junior high school girl is in adolescence. She is always asked to fetch water, wash clothes and clean in front of classmates at school. Just thinking about it, Shen Fei can understand why Erya dropped out of school.
Speaking of this, Erya explained:
"It has a little relationship, but not all.
The main reason is that the family was really poor at that time, and there was really no money for me and the third child to continue studying.
At first, it was my eldest brother who decided not to study. Later, I also thought about the family affairs every day and couldn't listen to what the teacher said in class, so I simply stopped studying..."
In the end, there was no money to study. The junior high school girl can also carry a hoe to the field. With one more labor force, the four children can have a little more food to eat.
Shen Fei nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then, he called his eldest son and third son over,
and asked them how much money they had taken from Jin Qiaomei and her family over the years?
He was going to pay back ten times the money, which was also considered to be a debt of favor.
If they simply gave money to help a few children through Jin Qiaomei, then ten times the repayment might not be enough,
but when Jin Qiaomei was teaching in Qizhen, she also asked Erya to do odd jobs for her. Now, if he paid them ten times the money they had given to help the children, Shen Fei felt that he was repaying this favor.The debt is more than enough.
They will never bring this up again.
"My aunt gave me money six times, three times for 20 yuan, and three times for 40 yuan, for a total of 180 yuan."
"My grandpa and grandma gave me money three times, three times for 50 yuan, for a total of 150 yuan."
"My uncle gave me money four times, two times for 20 yuan, two times for 40 yuan, for a total of 120 yuan."
"My aunt gave me money six times, two times for 10 yuan, four times for 20 yuan, for a total of 100 yuan."
Speaking of this, Shen Wenbo remembered it very clearly and reported it immediately.
At that time, the four brothers and sisters depended on each other for survival. He was the eldest brother in the family, and all the money went to him. He remembered who gave how much money.
In those years, they were really no different from little beggars. They would accept money if someone gave them money.
Although Shen Wenbo and Shen Erya were both in their teens at that time, there was really not much work for them to earn money to support the family.
If there was a chance to earn money, people would not want to use them, and even secretly said that they were unlucky and that jinxes should not be approached...
Shen Fei had no opinion on the children being helped by relatives and friends, and he was grateful to these relatives and friends in his heart.
He nodded to show that he understood, and then continued to cook.
Live by the sea, eat by the sea, and there is still a big table of seafood at noon.
Steamed swimming crabs, big nine-segment shrimps, and big shrimp mushrooms, everyone can help themselves.
There are also braised fish, braised wild boar meat, and fish soup made from sea fish.
The table is full, and Wu Wenzheng, Wu Hongmei, Wu Qiusheng and Jin Qiaomei are all a little dumbfounded.
Wu Yinglong and Wu Qiujuan, who came here at lunchtime, were delighted.
"Haha, we're here again. We had a good meal here yesterday, and we'll have another one today."
"Brother-in-law, I feel like I'll gain at least 20 pounds after I finish building these houses here! Haha."
Wu Yinglong laughed.
In the morning at the construction site, Shen Fei had greeted them,
asking Wu Qiujuan and her husband to come here at noon to have lunch with Wu Wenzheng and his friends.
"If you gain 20 pounds, you must be lazy. How can you gain weight when you work and sweat every day?"
Shen Fei laughed and asked them to take a seat.
Before lunch, Shen Fei, as the host, spoke seriously:
"Today, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my parents, my eldest sister, my eldest brother-in-law, my second brother, and my second sister-in-law for the past few years..."
