In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

"Brother, go apologize to Second Aunt and Second Uncle. If you don't want to take me to school, I won't go with you."

"I can go to work with Second Aunt, and she can even teach me how to write. It just so happens that I don't understand what your teacher is saying."

"I watched my third child and my second aunt teach me, and it was fine. I went to my aunt's classroom, but except for her deskmate, no one called her aunt when going to the toilet, which was not convenient for her at all."

After hearing what his brother said, Jiang Huainan was still sad.

"I didn't think too much about it. I was thinking about Dad. Although Second Aunt said she was willing to give us the money later, I was afraid that she would not be willing to give it to us after my brother was born. So I thought I would ask for as much as I could."

"I didn't expect the thief to climb over the wall. When the security officer asked just now, Second Aunt said that when she came back, the front door was fine. And when I came back, our doors were also fine, including the lock on the wardrobe on the kang."

"It must have been yesterday afternoon when our family came back and we were sitting under the tree enjoying the cool air. Someone guessed it because, for several days, no one in our family except my second uncle had been to the factory. As a result, our whole family went out."

"When we went to collect the money, you should have been watching over my brother so they wouldn't get suspicious. I shouldn't have let my aunt go either. It should have been just me, my second uncle, and my second aunt who went."

"There were too many of us there, and with so much going on, it's natural for some people to be suspicious. Did the money from Second Uncle and Second Aunt be lost? I even forgot to ask."

Jiang Huaibei is an optimist, "I'll go ask."

"I'd better go by myself. I made the mistake myself and I have to take the responsibility myself. You are younger than me now. You are my younger brother and I should protect you."

Jiang Huainan came over to the outside of Jiang Wen's room, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, are you asleep? I'm Huainan. I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted rashly. I should have listened to Second Uncle. Now we've lost such a large sum of money."

Jiang Wen got down and opened the door. "Have you cried? Have you washed the pot?"

"washed."

"After you've washed, go back and have a good sleep. After all, your Second Uncle and Second Aunt will not lack food and clothing for you. Your Second Aunt and I didn't plan to use the money. We just planned to save it and divide it equally among the three of you brothers when you grow up."

"We didn't want to see this happen, but it's already happened. People have to learn to grow up, right? You can't ask me for part of it and then give it to the thief."

"I won't tell you where my money is or how I hid it, but I definitely won't embezzle the money belonging to Huaibei and Huaixi. As for your job, I'll definitely give it to you as soon as you graduate from high school."

"If you have the ability, you can choose to skip a grade and study with your aunt, or surpass your aunt and graduate early. In that case, you can take over the job before your aunt."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. You can handle it yourself. Go back. I don't want to tell you anything else. It's boring."

Jiang Huainan went to Jiang Xiu's room again, and Jiang Xiu was still in a daze. "Aunt, am I wrong? I didn't expect it to be taken away. I thought it was safe in the closet because that's where my father's money used to be."

Jiang Xiu finally spoke up and said to his nephew, "Huainan, it's different. Before, everyone knew your father came back from the battlefield, so they were more afraid of him. But your father and grandfather died at the same time, which is like our family lost two pillars."

"Your second uncle was the one who was definitely going to the countryside. If your household registration wasn't with your grandfather, he would have signed up himself because he didn't want to take my job. He was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back and die there."

"None of us expected what would happen to your father and grandfather, you know? In my and your uncle's minds, we can give up the money, but we can't bring back those two lives."

"We can only take this money back if something unexpected happens, such as one of us getting sick or injured. In addition to our wages, we have a place to get money to prevent this accident. That's why we accepted this money."

Jiang Xiu burst into tears as she spoke, "Were we not... blinded by the money, we ignored you three brothers."

"You already have memories of your mother dying when she gave birth to the third child. Doesn't your mother want to raise her own children herself?"

"But the doctors couldn't keep her. What can we do? Why did your father retire? Because he was shot twice in the leg and couldn't complete his normal training mission. That's why he came back."

"Actually, I was quite happy when he came back, because we corresponded frequently, and every time he didn't reply to us after a while, we would think he had gone to the battlefield."

"After going to the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. Compared to that, we would rather he be alive, even if he is a disabled person, even if he has a limp."

"But he came back safe and sound. We are all very happy. When you first came back, you didn't want to talk to us. I didn't know what you were afraid of, so I asked your mother, what do you like?"

"My second uncle and I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some candy, soda, and a tin frog. I'm giving them to you."

"You just started talking to us. Perhaps none of this matters to you. Perhaps you've already forgotten it."

"When you asked for money today, I was shocked and in disbelief. How could you, a well-behaved child, suddenly ask for such a large sum of money? Were you bullied at school? Or are you feeling lonely because you lost your father and grandfather?"

"So I said, I can guarantee that this money will be given to you, but you still want it, and Second Uncle gave it to you."

"I can't judge these things. Now this has happened. The money is huge and may not be recovered. What will happen next? What are you going to do?"

"Second Uncle asked you to wash the dishes just to distract you. He was afraid that you would be immersed in pain at such a young age and that it would affect your mood and cause you to get sick and have a fever."

"After the fight with those two, I took the third brother to bed. Second uncle went to see you several times that night, worried that you might have a fever."

"You were a deep sleeper, so you didn't know. Huaibei knew. He asked my second uncle why he went to your room in the middle of the night. I told him that we heard you yelling at night, so we went to see if there was a fight."

"This time, you really hurt your second uncle's heart. Think about it, your second uncle raised the three of you. Even if he had a job, who would be willing to marry him?"
