Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 488 Encouragement to Learn
Because this matter was indeed of great importance, after steeling his resolve and deciding that "the more debts one has, the less one worries; the more lice one has, the less it itches," he decided to act decisively and seize the benefits first. Under this general principle, he found a pretext and, without anyone knowing, left. Back in his command vehicle, he immediately reported this new development to his superiors.

While Lao Luo was reporting, after some getting to know each other, Ximen Lang gradually became familiar with Qin Huairu's family.

It was only when he actually arrived at Qin Huairu's hometown that Ximen Lang was surprised to discover this.

Qin Huairu's family is really something else!
We won't go into detail about Mr. Qin Jiye, the oldest man in the entire Qin family village, who is already well-known to everyone.

Let's talk about her father's generation and her own.

Do you know how many brothers her father had?
There are three in total, plus an older aunt and a younger aunt!
And these are just his own brothers. If you include his cousins, good heavens, there are at least seven or eight!

And what about her generation? Do you know why her younger brother is named Huaihai?
Because their family owns all the rivers, lakes, and seas!

Her younger brother was the youngest, the youngest in his family, which is why he was named Huaihai.

In other words, she has three older brothers: Qinhuaijiang, Qinhuaihe, and Qinhuaihu!

There are so many brothers alone!

If we also include cousins, aunts, and uncles...
Goodness, if you calculate it this way, more than half of the people in the village are their relatives!
It was only at this moment that Ximen Lang finally understood why Qinjiatun was called Qinjiatun, and why Qin Huairu's father was the village chief.

Just kidding, with their family's amazing connections, it would be truly unbelievable if his dad wasn't the village chief.

I really didn't expect Qin Huairu to have so many relatives, and to have such a strong network of connections.

Ximen Lang said half-jokingly.

"No wonder Dongxu and Aunt Jia are so good to you! That makes sense. With so many brothers around, if Jia Dongxu dared to treat you badly, one punch from each of them would be enough to beat him into a state where he can't take care of himself. They have to treat you well."

Qin Huairu felt utterly helpless after hearing these words.

He was about to have a serious talk with Ximen Lang and tell him not to make fun of him.

A bright and beautiful girl, so much so that she didn't resemble a rural child of this era in any way, but with skin so fair and delicate that it was even more delicate than that of city children, stepped forward.

He clenched his tiny fist, no bigger than a steamed bun, and said fiercely, mustering his courage.

"If Jia Dongxu dares to bully my cousin, I'll beat him until he's covered in bumps!" (They live in the same village, share the same surname, and are relatives. Plus, there's the custom of not marrying someone with the same surname. This really shows how close they are. So here, the relationship between Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu has been changed from cousins ​​to cousins.)
At first, Ximen Lang didn't pay much attention to this little boy who was only 7 or 8 years old.

I just thought the little baby in front of me was really cute, and his fierce yet adorable appearance was indeed very endearing. That's all.

But when he heard Qin Huairu's words...
"Jingru, don't talk nonsense! What right do you have to interrupt when adults are speaking?"

Ximen Lang was no longer calm.

Who?
Jingru?

she?
She is the one who will one day desperately try to get into the city, and once she's committed to a man, nothing can pull her back, and she'll even do things like committing murder and setting fires for him.

I quickly took a closer look and saw that the little girl's eyebrows and eyes really did resemble Qin Jingru from the TV series.

Ximen Lang immediately became interested.

Of course, it couldn't be that he had any inappropriate thoughts about the little girl in front of him. Everyone knows that Lang Ge'er always likes long legs in black stockings.

What is it mainly about?

The main reason is that the little girl in front of me is none other than the famous Qin Jingru!

Although she inevitably has some flaws and exhibits some "beastly" traits, being somewhat opportunistic, overall she's still quite normal and not really unlikeable. Plus, it's a weekday, so this little brat didn't go to school.

Ximen Lang, who loved encouraging students to study and couldn't stand seeing children drop out of school, immediately got into the mood to do so.

I asked a question first.

"Is this your cousin? She looks about 7 or 8 years old, which is the perfect age for school. Why isn't she at school right now? Is there no school nearby?"

And immediately received a reply from Qin Huairu, who was like his father, Village Chief Qin.

"Yes, sir, yes, although our commune's school is not big, it still has a school. School-age children from several nearby villages attend school there."

Ximen Lang wondered.

"Then why didn't she go to school?"

Just as Village Chief Qin was about to answer, Qin Jingru, who was already overwhelmed by the mention of school again, immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum and complained repeatedly.

"I don't want to go to school!"

"Don't want to go? Why?"

"I can't learn what the teacher teaches, and I don't want to learn it."

"If you don't want to go and you don't want to study, then what do you want to do?"

That goes without saying. Children of this age are naturally only thinking about letting loose and having fun.

"Back then, I was just like you. I would get a headache just looking at books and thinking about going to school. But after I actually entered society and struggled in it, I realized that compared to all the awful things in the adult world, studying is really the easiest and most wonderful thing."

This is truly Ximen Lang's personal experience.

Although he quickly escaped this predicament thanks to his cheat code.

But after all, I've had some experience in society for a year or two.

Even setting aside the time he spent slacking off and taking it easy, he still experienced the harsh realities and trials of life to some extent.

Although it wasn't much, it was enough for Ximen Lang to clearly understand this valuable principle.

"But by the time I truly understood this principle and figured out all the key points, the stark reality wouldn't give me a second chance."

"Of course, you won't listen to what I'm saying right now. After all, if saying these things were really useful, my teachers, my family, and my friends would have convinced me long ago, and I wouldn't have only gotten a third-rate degree."

"So, I won't go into those complicated theories that give you a headache. Just one thing: do you want to become a city dweller who is several times more respectable than your sister or brother-in-law? To become a proud worker, or even a cadre?"

"Of course I want to!"

"Want to? That makes things easier!"

Seeing that this little girl really had a thing for this since she was a child, Ximen Lang continued.

"You're so smart, so you must have heard and understood everything we just discussed. Now, here's the question: although worker positions have been prepared for you, what qualifications do you have to get in and become a worker, or even a manager? Have you thought about that?"
