The world is broken, the cubs mend it

After returning home, Chen Jiahe tied the cow in the yard and poured half a bucket of water for the cow to drink.

At night, I boiled water, gave the child a bath, changed her into new clothes, and carried her back to the house to sleep.

"You go to bed first, I'll go to bed later."

It's a busy time now. He has to plant corn tomorrow and there are a lot of chores waiting for him to do. He should take advantage of the evening when he has some free time to wash the clothes.

Yuanyuan was lying on the bed and heard the sound of water outside. Rabbit told her that it was her father washing clothes.

Dad works every day and it seems like there is always something to do.

It rains a lot in the summer, and after washing clothes in the middle of the night, we cannot hang them outside, so we hang them on the bamboo poles hanging in the main hall.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

There was no light in the room to save money, and he felt the child move a little further inside when he got into bed.

"Why does Daddy do the laundry at night?"

Yuanyuan saw that the aunt next door would carry a basket of clothes to the river to wash during the day because there was no sun to dry the clothes at night.

"I still have work to do during the day, and it won't take long to wash clothes."

"I help Dad with the laundry."

"Come on, did you scrub it clean?"

"I'll be able to do the laundry when I'm old enough."

Yuanyuan has an inexplicable expectation of growing up, and her dark eyes shine brightly in the dark night.

"Don't think about all that nonsense all the time. You are not here to pay off the debt."

Although children from poor families have to grow up early, it is not this early.

Chen Jiahe held her in his arms and patted her back gently to coax her to sleep. At this time, he always felt warm in his heart.

When he was a child, he always hoped to be treated like this, and he also felt a sense of satisfaction when he showed this warmth to his children.

The child's diligence and understanding are intermittent, and the next day he will completely forget what he said the night before.

Chen Jiahe took out the clothes to dry early in the morning and inadvertently mentioned that she said she wanted to do the laundry yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Yuanyuan put her hands behind her back, stuck out her belly and said, "I'm a child, and children can't wash clothes."

"Wait until you grow up and wash it."

Chen Jiahe noticed that her expression changed very quickly, so he deliberately started arguing with her.

"When I grow up, I'll let my dad wash my clothes."

Yuanyuan raised her chin proudly, as if she had been possessed by another spirit last night.

In fact, she was waiting for her father to go to bed together last night. She was so sleepy that she had forgotten what kind of filling she had prepared for her father.

"..."

After hearing this, Chen Jiahe didn't want to talk anymore. He hung all the clothes on the clothesline and turned back to light the fire and cook.

It seems that the words of a three-year-old child cannot be taken seriously. Fortunately, he never took it seriously.

However, the child did what she said about herding the cattle. She tied the cattle to a place with grass and sat quietly by the side watching.

Chen Jiahe didn't dare to tie the cows too far away, basically they were where he could see them after just a few steps, but he still had to check on them from time to time.

And you can't leave the child near water. The day before yesterday, when he wasn't watching her, she rolled up her pants and tried to go into the water, which scared him so much that he almost died.

Wang Yingying didn't come to play with her for the past two days, and occasionally other children came to herd cattle with her.

To say "let it go" means to sit next to and watch. The old ox has a docile personality and never runs around.

When they met again, Wang Yingying went to the fields to bring water to her family. When she returned, she happened to see her squatting on the ground and drawing with a branch.

"Does your father agree to let you go to school?"

Reading was something she was extremely eager to do, so she asked this question first.

"My father said that if you want to study, you must study hard and go to college in the future."

Yuanyuan hadn't seen her for a few days and happily came over to talk to her.

"Going to college? Doesn't that cost a lot of money?"

Wang Yingying had no idea what college was. After talking about going to school that day, she went home and talked to her mother about it again. Her mother said that going to school was very expensive.

"do not know…"

Yuanyuan shook her head. She currently had no idea about money.

Children can't keep secrets, and soon the news that Chen Jiahe was going to pay for his child's education spread out.

The main reason is that the children all envy Yuanyuan’s father for being willing to spend money on her, and they can’t help but mention it to their family members when they get home.

At noon, when Chen Jiahe finished watering the corn field and was about to go home, he met Wang Mazi who was finishing work, followed by several villagers.

"I heard that you are going to support your child to go to college?"

"Yeah, that depends on whether she can pass the exam."

Chen Jiahe did not comment. He usually meant what he said, and even though the children were young, he would always do what he said.

"No, do you really have this plan?"

Wang Mazi originally thought that it was just the nonsense of the village kids, but seeing that he was serious, he also became serious.

"It's enough for a girl to learn a few words. She will belong to someone else's family in the future. Why waste this money?"

"That's right, Jiahe, don't be silly. Just take the betrothal money and live in peace in your old age. It's good enough to feed her and raise her up."

"..."

The villagers nearby also tried to persuade him, as if he was going astray.

"What do you know? If she is really a good student, she will have a good future and live a glorious life."

Chen Jiahe frowned and strode forward, thinking that these people were really worrying about nothing.

What does it have to do with these people whether his child studies or goes to school?

"Once a girl learns to read and write, her heart will become wild and you will not be able to control her."

"The girl from Liujia Village changed after entering the city. She no longer listens to her family and doesn't give them money. You'd better be careful not to follow her old ways."

"..."

Several people seemed to be addicted and kept following him and persuading him.

Although she is only a three-year-old child, she seems to be able to carry her schoolbag and go to school right away.

"The more you say this, the more I feel that we should send her to the city in the future."

Chen Jiahe suddenly stopped, turned his head and stared at them coldly.

In their eyes, the reason why a girl's education is a very serious matter is that they are afraid that the girl will be more capable than them and they will not be able to control her in the future.

This fear made them associate a little girl with a group, so they tried their best to stop it.

"Why?"

Several people looked at him in confusion. They were doing this for his own good so that he wouldn't waste money.

"The more books I read, the further I go, and I won't have to see you crazy people."

After Chen Jiahe finished speaking, he turned around and walked faster. The remaining people were so angry that their faces turned red and they glared at him, cursing.

He has this kind of temper, and he is tall and strong, so no one dares to fight with him easily.

"Why are you angry with the older generation for their ideas?"

Wang Mazi hurriedly followed. He was an educated person, but he had not achieved anything significant.

Those educated girls in the city all look bookish and excellent at first glance.

If he can also raise a college student, it will bring honor to the village.

"I am not angry."

Chen Jiahe was just annoyed when others pointed fingers at his affairs. Anyway, he would be in a bad mood if it brought bad luck to him.
