Mother Chapter XI

Guo Hongqing's 4 children, Haiqiao's youngest and most favored son, is also a child with the name Youhai but not born in Shanghai, and began to flee in the belly of the third mother, and was also born because of the boy and was saved from the bad luck of death. The Guo family is also a well-off family, although it is not enough to be rich, but it is not too stingy to treat its children, at least the degree of eating and wearing does not have to worry.

Haiqiao, as the only son of the Guo family, naturally ranks first among the four children of the Guo family. The third lady may have let the bodhisattva finally have a son in order to thank the bodhisattva, so let Haiqiao go to the temple to recognize a monk as a master, even if he was a little monk in name, and there was a way to let the master shave his head in the temple, the third lady donated incense money, the master sent Haiqiao a set of monk clothes and monk shoes, in fact, all this is the money from the Guo family, and some operations are to thank the bodhisattva for his blessing. HaiQiao is still young, all this is in ignorance as a prop, so confused as a small monk for a few days, the words are not good, the scriptures naturally can not be read, but also the third lady to pay, the master to find a master brother who can chant the sutra to complete the practice of Haiqiao.

Although he is a boy, Haiqiao has been sick since he was a child, and the headaches and brain fever at both ends of the three days have worried Sanniang a lot. So the old method was moved to the table, and the Guo family found a beggar for Haiqiao to recognize the dry wife, which is somewhat similar to the concept of giving the child a lowly name and raising a good child, but it is a step closer. The beggar is the mother-in-law named Hanako, but this mother-in-law is already a professional dry woman, I don't know when to engage in this profession, anyway, there are many sons, there is no shortage of young masters from large families. The beggar is still very dedicated, Haiqiao prostrated her head and recognized the dry lady, she sent Haiqiao a pair of bowls and chopsticks to pass on the beggar's mantle, and also personally went to each household to ask for cloth to make a hundred clothes for the dry son, whether it is a hundred families do not know, but a look is a flowery green large and small cloth head, the third lady put the cloth of the family cloth shop is not used, put these cloth heads into a piece of cloth, and then made a monk's clothes for the sea overseas Chinese, both monk clothes and a hundred family clothes kill two birds with one stone. Although the third lady is diligent and thrifty, but the outside world is still relatively polite and generous, the beggar is also exceptionally good to the sea overseas Chinese, often outside to beg for good food and specially given to the dry son to eat, once also took the sea overseas Chinese to a large family to eat birthday feast, the ignorant sea overseas Chinese after eating and drinking even fantasy about being a beggar when they grow up. Time passed, and HaiQiao gradually grew up, although he saw the beggar and still shouted dry mother, but the idea of being a beggar had long been thrown out of the cloud of nine clouds.

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the four children of the Guo family are studying, and the tuition fees of Guo Hongqing's four children are not too much of a burden, but the idea of preferring sons to daughters is still imprinted in the heart, Haiying's boss is stubborn and stubborn, and likes to be lively outside, primary school graduation is naturally attending middle school, Haishou Haiqiao's two sons naturally have to read more books after they can give the Guo family Guangzong Yaozu, so the timid and well-behaved Hairong has become a victim, after graduating from primary school, he did not let Hairong study, Guo Luqing has his own small calculation, he took Hairong to a friend's money house, I want Hai Rong to be a clerk to earn money for food, first, to learn some skills and to reduce the financial burden on the family a little. When the friend saw that Hai Rong was still a child, he quickly refused, if a boy might agree, at least he could do some chores, a girl really couldn't use it. Guo Hongqing saw that people did not accept Hai Rong, so she had to take her home, help The Third Lady to do some housework at home, and go to the cloth shop to fight when she was busy. Hai Rong could only stay at home helplessly, the vast majority of girls in the society at that time also attended a primary school at most to know a word, and very few could read middle school, and Hai Rong also confessed to becoming a member of the vast majority.

As the eldest sister, Haiying is not a woman who is willing to admit her fate, first quarreled with her father to let Hairong study, Guo Luqing said, "You go home and let Hairong go to middle school, a tuition fee you sisters choose for themselves." Haiying was suddenly speechless, she had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, she had never thought about how to earn money to support her family, the girls in the school were mostly young ladies from large families, and no one had the dilemma of tuition fees. Haiying had no choice but to encourage Hai Rong to go and make trouble with The Third Niang. The third lady did not take the stubble, only said that there was no money, as long as her father gave money to go to school, Hai Rong, who was already timid and quiet, was soon defeated. For a while, the sisters also had no idea, and had to silently accept this reality. Hai Rong stayed at home, hanging out in front of his father when there was nothing to do, and from time to time he muttered in his mouth, hoping that his father would change his mind one day and he could continue to study.

The turnaround came quickly, and everything was still thanks to Haiying. The condition for the enrollment of an American-run church school in Wanxian Is that children who join the church can enroll for free, and if they do not join the church, they must pay tuition fees to enroll. Haiying saw this news and quickly went home to tell his father that there should be no problem with the father without tuition fees, Haiying thought too simply, although Guo Hongqing was not so conservative, but it was impossible for him to join the religion, Haiying was poured with a basin of cold water, and he did not get anything but the scolding of his father. The third lady also said that Haiying was blind and foolish, and saw that everyone was arguing, but the party Hai rong could not interject. Miss Haiying's temper broke out, she wanted to take Hai Rong and the two to join the church, she was not afraid of losing face, just to see if Guo Lunqing lost this face. Maybe it was Haiying who made a big fuss and had an effect, or maybe It was Hai Rong who was pitiful and turned around in front of him every day. Finally agreed to Hai Rong to go to school, but it is absolutely impossible to enter the education, how can he guo boss not be poor enough to enter the education to let the children study. In the end, everyone was happy, Hai Rong went to middle school as he wished, Guo Luqing was still the head of the family, and Hai Ying also rarely accompanied his father to appear as the façade of miss Guo family.
