Zhou Xiao Mei started her career as a street seller.
She knew to be contented. Not all of her clothes would be sold every day. Sometimes she sold a lot and sometimes less. Whether she earned a few dimes or a yuan or so, she was deeply pleased.
Hu Zi and Zhou Er Ni had to go to evening classes every night.
In comparison, Xu Sheng Mei was a lot more idle. She came over to her grandparents' to watch TV every day.
"Grandma, how much money does Aunt (Xiao Mei) make by selling clothes on the street?" Xu Sheng Mei asked.
"It's about a yuan." Mother Zhou knew the answer as she had heard her daughter say.
She still felt that Fourth Daughter-in-law knew how to take care of her sister-in-law, Xiao Mei. Not too much and not too little. Even if she earned a dollar a day, it'll be 30 yuan a month.
This was also an income.
"Grandma, really can't let my brother come over? Even if he doesn't work at the shop, it would be fine for him to sell clothes like Aunt (Xiao Mei)." Xu Sheng Mei said.
Mother Zhou said: "It's not a bad idea. However, whether your brother can come over, don't ask Grandma about this. Go to find your Aunt." Then she continued: "That's right. Both Er Ni and Hu Zi are attending evening classes. Why didn’t you go, Sheng Mei?"
"I can't read." Xu Sheng Mei said.
"Then, ask Er Ni. Learn from her. Your aunt is very busy. She has no time to teach you this. You learn from Er Ni and Hu Zi and listen to your aunt. Nothing can go wrong by studying." Zhou Mu Said.
"You have to study more!" Father Zhou also agreed and said.
Both of them were taken around the Bei University by old Wang.
For the two of them, rural old people of the older generation, being able to stroll around the country's best university had them walking like they were floating.
Old Wang’s original words were: "Knowledge changes destiny. Studying and progress are required. Society is developing. Other things are not known yet. But what you learn is your own and you will never lose it for a lifetime."
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, who had attended literacy class for a few days, deeply agreed.
The rest they can't understand, but they did understand the sentence 'what you learn is your own and you will never lose it for a lifetime'.
So knowing that Four Daughter-in-law had arranged for their grandson and granddaughter to go to evening classes, both Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were delighted.
Xu Sheng Mei responded: "I know I have to study but I had been delayed by my mother. Hu Zi and Er Ni both went to school before. I don't understand anything now."
"Take your time studying and you'll get." Mother Zhou said: "Your aunt had also attended a literacy class before. Now, look how brilliant she is? She entered a place like Bei University as a teacher."
W
hen she and her old partner followed old Wang around Bei University, they had gone to the lecture room to see Fourth Daughter-in-law. She stood on the podium and spoke in a foreign language. That sight was pleasing to the eye.
Mother Zhou felt that she had never gained so much face in her life.
"Grandma, you think of me too highly. How many miles does it take to find someone like Aunt?" Although Xu Sheng Mei was a little afraid of her aunt, she had to admit that her aunt was really the most capable among the women she had ever seen.
