Liu Qingshan is not a mother-in-law. Since he said he wanted to build a chicken coop, he would not be careless.

He called the boss in the town overnight. The next morning, the boss brought various materials needed to build the house, such as cement, steel, sand, stones, etc.

However, before that, Liu Qingshan went to another village to find Agui's house early in the morning.

The sky is not very bright yet, and the morning wind is mixed with the stars of the night.

Logically speaking, not many people should have gotten up to work at this time. However, because there are a lot of cows at home and many other farm work, Agui and his mother must get up before dawn, and then after a simple breakfast, they have to go out to cut cow grass when the genius is lightly dawn.

Cows are not like chickens and ducks. They can fill their stomachs by eating a little casually. The cows eat a lot and eat a lot, so the mother and son have to go to different places to cut cow grass every day.

People in the mountains do not specialize in growing cattle grass, but will directly pick various grasses that cows like to eat from the mountains, such as croaker.

After they came back from cutting the cow grass, Agui went to school to study, while Agui's mother went to do the work in the field.

As for the cow, you have to stay in the bullpen for a whole day. Only on weekends, when the two siblings are on holidays will they have time to take them out for a walk.

In fact, in the past, they would drive the cows directly to the mountains. When the cows were full in the mountains, they would go home by themselves. But later, because the mountain people opened up a large number of land, no matter which mountain the cows went, they would likely destroy the things planted in other people's mountains.

In this way, the cow can only be locked in the cow pen.

However, this is good, so it saves you from worrying.

When the mother and son were about to go out, they unexpectedly saw Liu Qingshan.

Strange, this genius has just dawned, why did he come?

Agui's mother hurriedly greeted: "Qingshan, where are you going so early?"

"Brother Qingshan." Agui also greeted Brother Qingshan happily.

Even though it had been a night, the delicious food I enjoyed last night was still circling in his mind at this moment.

Liu Qingshan walked up and smiled and said, "I know you have to go to cut cattle grass every morning, so I came here without even having breakfast."

"Is there anything important?" Agui's mother asked anxiously, "Is something wrong?"

"No, no, no, it's okay." Seeing that Agui's mother was a little nervous, Liu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and rejected, "It's okay, nothing happened. I just want to come and ask you if you are willing to help me with work."

"Work?" Agui's mother frowned and asked in confusion, "What kind of work do?"

"That's right. My family is planning to build a chicken coop, which is a bit large, but I don't plan to hire someone to do it, I plan to do it myself, but I can't work alone, and my father is not free. He wants to plant orange trees and fertilize the forest, so he can only help occasionally, so I want to ask my aunt, you can help me with my work. Look, if you have time to dig bamboo shoots now, you must have done almost the work in the mountains, right?"

Agui's mother nodded happily: "Yes, now yes, all the fertilizations in the mountains have been fertilized, and peanuts cannot be planted, so there is time."

"That's great." Liu Qingshan said happily, "Since that's the case, then aunt will help me work. Although it may be a bit hard to help me work, you see, if you dig bamboo shoots for a day and sell bamboo shoots for a day, it will only cost a hundred yuan. But if you go to help me work, I can give you two hundred yuan a day."

two hundred?

This number made Agui's mother and Agui widen their eyes.

Although Agui is still young, he knows that two hundred yuan is a lot.

I remember one time, he was sick and went to the hospital. After medical reimbursement, the hospital asked them to pay another few hundred yuan.

However, at that time, my mother didn't have much money left, and after she took out all of it, she was still two hundred left.

This made my mother so anxious. She begged the doctor with her eyes wet but apologized face, saying that she didn't have that much money on her now and she was sent to her later. However, the doctor disagreed and said that if she didn't pay the money, she would not be discharged from the hospital. If she could not be discharged from the hospital, she would continue to incur expenses.

In the end, in desperation, the mother, who had always rarely troubled others, had to trouble the village chief with full guilt.

Two hundred yuan is not much for most people, but for the Agui family, it is too much, so much that it can make mother's tears fall.

Another time, the Chinese teacher at my sister's school asked the students to buy a set of extracurricular reading materials, which cost nearly 200 yuan. Although the teacher said that he would ask them to do whatever he wanted and not be mandatory, during class, the teacher would ask the students to take out one of them and read the articles together, saying that they could help improve their writing.

In desperation, my sister had to ask for money from her mother.

However, it was the autumn harvest season, and my mother was busy harvesting her family's crops and didn't even go into the mountains to dig mountain products like Wujing peaches, so she only had twenty or thirty yuan left in her hand.

If the chickens and ducks at home hadn't been laying eggs, in such a busy farming season, my mother would have fallen down due to overwork and no nutritional supplements.

I heard that a set of extracurricular reading materials costs nearly 200 yuan, and I instantly felt worried that my mother's hair was white.

That night, the lights in her house were on, and she kept rummaging through the cabinets, hoping that some miracles would happen, hoping that some forgotten money could be found in some forgotten pocket.

But the family is so poor, how could there be forgotten money?

Mom found nothing.

She said nothing.

Because she knew that if her sister didn't have that set of books, not only would the teacher not like her, but her classmates would also look down on her.

So, the next morning, my mother quietly went out.

By the time she came back tonight, she had already had a few hundred dollars in her hand.

No one asked how the money came about, but that night, my mother and my sister hugged each other in the room and cried for a long time.

At that time, Agui was still young, not even ten years old, and he knew nothing. He quietly lay on the door frame, poked his head out, and looked at his mom and sister crying in the room.

So far, he has not figured out how the money came about.

However, from the tears of his mother and sister, he knew that two hundred yuan was so much that it could make the sister who had not had good grades quickly become the best in the class.

He looked at his brother Qingshan who gave him a lot of dishes yesterday. He thought of the evening yesterday when he stood in the sunset with his back to the west mountain, as if he was like a Bodhisattva emitting golden light all over his body.

He must be a living Bodhisattva, he must be a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering. Agui thought excitedly.

If my mother could help Brother Qingshan work, maybe my sister would have a tuition fee for high school this year, so she would not have to sell her cows at home.

Thinking of this, he was so happy that his whole face was filled with joy and excitement.

Agui's mother's heartbeat also accelerated. She looked at Liu Qingshan in front of her with the same surprise and asked, "Qingshan, do you think, do I, can I?"

She couldn't believe that such a good thing would fall on her?

If you want to be diligent, there are more people in the village who are diligent than her. If you want to be diligent, there are more people in the village who are diligent.

But how could such a good thing fall on her?

Seeing that the two mothers and sons had a light like the scorching sun burst out in their eyes, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course it's true. Aunt, why are I lie to you? In the morning, you and Agui will go to cut the cow grass first. After cutting the cow grass, you can just go to my house before ten o'clock. We will work for eight hours a day and end at six o'clock in the evening."

"At six o'clock?" Agui's mother hesitated.

After all, there is a child at home. If she finishes work at six o'clock, she will probably affect Agui's homework.

Because, if she went home at six o'clock, the family would have to feed chickens and ducks, find goose intestine grass, cook chicken slabs, and clean the feces from the beef pens.

As if he saw his mother's thoughts, Agui quickly said, "Mom, it's okay. I'm already an adult. I'll do the family affairs. You go and help my brother with work."

"Can you?" Mom asked with some helplessness.

"Well, I can." Agui nodded vigorously, "I will write my homework at school."

"Then, that's OK." Agui's mother gritted her teeth and looked at Qingshan with a firm look on her face and said, "Qingshan, will it start today?"

"Yes." Qingshan smiled, "From today on, you can go and cut the cow grass first. Wait a minute, cut the cow grass, and you go to my house."

"good."

After the three separated, Qingshan went home, while Agui followed his mother to cut cow grass.

When cutting the cow grass, Agui happily said: "Mom, if you can help Brother Qingshan work and work for ten days, can you get two thousand yuan?"

"Yes." Agui's mother nodded, "If I could do ten days of work, I should have two thousand yuan."

Two hundred yuan is much better, let alone two thousand yuan.

Although the family can sell two cows every year, because the cow is not big, one cow only costs a few thousand yuan and two cows only costs ten thousand yuan.

This money is very difficult to maintain the expenses of a family and to support the food, clothing, and food, clothing, and hospitalization and medicine.

Fortunately, Agui's mother goes into the mountains every year to dig things like five-finger peaches, yams or bamboo shoots, so she keeps her two children with her all the time.

If it were someone else, I would have sold my daughter long ago.

But Agui's mother didn't do this. She felt that no matter how hard or tired she was, she had to raise her children by her side. This is the mission of a mother and the spiritual sustenance that a mother relies on for survival.

Agui got his mother's affirmation and said again: "If that's the case, then this summer, when my sister goes to high school to sign up, will our family have money?"

Mom lowered her head and cut the grass without saying a word.

Agui was very excited and said to himself: "My sister is so good at studying. In the future, she will definitely be admitted to a very good university. By then, when her sister graduates from university, she will definitely find a good job."

Agui's mother was stunned for a moment, raised her head, looked at her son with a bright smile in the gray morning light, and asked in a stuttering manner, "Agui, what would you think if your sister stopped studying?"

Agui looked at his mother in surprise: "Why? Why can't my sister not go to school? Her current grades are so good. Not to mention getting into the best high school in the county, there is no problem even if she gets into the best high school in the city. Mom, are you worried about her sister's tuition? I heard from my sister that she said that as long as she gets the first place in the exam and goes to the best school in the city, but if she chooses the high school in the county, the county school will have scholarships for her so that she doesn't have to pay any tuition."

As Agui's mother listened to her son's words, she forced a smile: "That's good, that's good."

After cutting the cow grass, Agui was about to go to school.

My mother washed a handful of red dates and stuffed them into Agui's schoolbag, saying, "Agui, if you feel hungry or a little dizzy at school, just eat a few red dates. Do you know? You must eat them yourself, don't give them to your classmates, remember."

"I understand, mom, I'm almost vomiting. When can I stop eating red dates? Every day, I'm almost growing a date tree." Agui said coquettishly.

Mom smiled, touched Agui's head, and said, "Our family is not as good as other classmates' homes. Mom has no pocket money to give you, so she can only eat red dates. Wait, when you grow up, you won't have to eat red dates."

As he said that, Agui's mother's tears instantly poured down like a river that broke through the dam.

Agui panicked and hurriedly said, "Mom, I eat it, I eat it every day, don't cry, if you ask me to eat it, I will not give it to others. Even if you grow up and get old, as long as you ask me to eat it, you will always eat it. I don't like snacks, so I like to eat red dates."

Agui's mother turned her back, wiped her tears, and choked, "Agui, go to school quickly, don't be late, mom is going to work."
