Chapter 70 Fleeting Years 2
"Brother, what are you singing?" Jia Mantun asked in confusion.
Jia Huan tilted his head and said in a sweet voice, "I don't know either! I was singing along with the singing over there."
He took Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun's hands and said, "Brother, please sing with me!"
Jia Mantun shook his head: "I can't."
Jia Huan: "I have learned it and I will teach you."
As he spoke, he taught the two children to sing sentence by sentence.
According to relevant linguistic theories, the best stage for children to learn foreign languages should be before the age of twelve.
Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun are both less than twelve years old, so they are not slow in learning foreign languages.
Although I don’t know what language they sing or what they mean, I remember every lyric firmly.
After Jia Huan corrected their pronunciation, they sang very standardly.
Jia Huan expressed his satisfaction.
Today's plan was successfully completed. After that, he will teach his two brothers more songs through this method, and then take his brothers to sell singing.
This is the only way he can think of to make money at this stage.
The next day, Jia Mantun and Jia Mancang went home and found that their little brother was not waiting for them at the door. They were shocked, put down their baskets and went to look for someone.
They found the little brother singing quietly in the open space yesterday.
The little brother waved to them and smiled happily: "Brother, come on, I've learned a new song and I'll teach you how to sing it!"
In this way, after half a month, Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun learned several songs from Jia Huan.
Jia Huan saw that he was almost ready. On this day, he asked his two brothers to change into clean clothes and asked them to take him to a street entrance near the port.
There are many people coming and going at the port, and this street is the busiest street, with either foreigners or wealthy foreigners coming and going.
Poor people like Jia Huan cannot enter this street.
Three people can only stand at the place closest to the street entrance.
Jia Mancang timidly said: "Brother, do we really want to do this?"
Jia Huan: "Don't you want to make money?"
Jia Mantun: "I want to, but I'm afraid."
Jia Huan: "What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid at all, just like when I sing."
After speaking, he sang the hymn "Praise the Lord" first.
When Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun heard the familiar melody, they couldn't help humming softly. After singing a few words, they let go and sang loudly along with Jia Huan.
Clear children's voices flowed out. When passers-by heard the hymn, they thought it was the children in the church choir singing. But when they looked over, they found that it was three local children singing.
There was also a small wooden box placed in front of them, which looked like a singing stand.
When the foreigners saw that the three children looked pretty cute, sang Catholic hymns, and their pronunciation was even better than that of the children in the choir, they found the three children very pleasing to their eyes, so they took out their money and threw it in the wooden box.
Foreigners are all rich, and every banknote they throw away, even the lowest amount, can be exchanged for an ocean!
This piece of ocean can buy a lot of things!
When Jia Mancang saw the money in the wooden box, his eyes turned red and he sang louder.
After singing "Praise the Lord", they sang several other hymns, then hugged the wooden box and left with satisfaction.
It's not like no one is jealous of the money.
But the three children sang foreign songs, which seemed to have something to do with foreigners.
No one dared to offend the foreigners, nor did they dare to rob these three children, who seemed to be related to the foreigners, and let them leave with a huge sum of money.
It’s really a “huge sum” of money. Taken together, this amount of money is equivalent to Jia Erzi’s annual income.
As a result, it was the daily income of three children.
Jia Erzi, Zhang Chuni and their two sisters were all shocked.
"Can you make so much money just by singing?"
Second sister Jia Dongmei asked with shining eyes.
Singing can make money, so can she also sing?
Jia Mantun pouted: "You have to be able to sing foreign songs."
The relationship between Jia Mantun and Jia Dongmei is not good. Jia Dongmei has a strong personality. Unlike her eldest sister, Jia Qiuju, who always takes care of her younger brother, she will compete with her younger brother for things, especially food, which makes both younger brothers dislike her.
Of course, she doesn't like the debt collector brother, she likes the cute little brother.
Jia Dongmei said directly to Jia Huan: "Little brother, teach me to sing foreign songs."
Jia Huan nodded.
Jia Dongmei picked up Jia Huan and kissed his little face.
"My little brother is the best brother in the world."
"Sister, don't kiss me. Men and women don't kiss each other."
Jia Huan pushed Jia Dongmei hard. Even if he was his sister, he was not used to being so close to others.
Jia Qiuju hugged Jia Huan and said to Jia Dongmei: "Okay, don't make trouble, little brother."
Jia Huan turned around and buried her head in Jia Qiuju's arms. The eldest sister was the best.
Jia Qiuju is the eldest of the children in the Jia family. She is sixteen years old this year and is old enough to say goodbye.
However, because the family is poor and does not even have a dowry, so even if she looks good, not many people are willing to marry such a daughter-in-law.
it's good now.
Zhang Chuni took out a fifth of the money from the pile and said, "This part of the money will be used to prepare Da Ya's dowry."
Jia Qiuju was grateful and moved, and declined: "Mom, no need, let's use it to improve the conditions at home. The weather is getting colder, so I'd better use the money to buy some thick cotton-padded jackets."
Zhang Chunni: "I'll keep the money with you to buy a dowry. Your father and I can survive the cold, so we won't buy cotton-padded jackets this year. The remaining money will be used to buy one for each of the five of you."
Jia Qiuju shook her head: "I'd better buy cotton-padded jackets for my parents first."
The mother and daughter were pushing and pushing each other, and Jia Mancang couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mom, eldest sister, please stop pushing around. Buy cotton-padded jackets for your parents first. Tomorrow, my brother and I will go to the port to sing and earn money to make a dowry for eldest sister."
Zhang Chunni slapped her thigh: "Why did I forget? This singing business is not a one-time deal, I can still continue!"
Jia Qiuju was stunned for a moment when she heard this and then smiled.
"Then I'll first thank my brothers for preparing the dowry money."
"You're welcome." Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun raised their heads and held their chests high.
Jia Huan also showed a big smile.
Jia Erzi made the final decision: "My dear, take Qiu Ju to the pawn shop early tomorrow morning and buy seven cotton-padded jackets. I want thicker and newer ones. This year, we will all wear new clothes."
Zhang Chunni nodded repeatedly and said, "Tomorrow I will buy a knife of meat and a fish and cook something good for you."
The children and Jia Erzi all began to swallow their saliva.
Meat! They haven't eaten it for a long time.
Jia Mantun remembered that he ate meat during the Chinese New Year the year before last, and he only ate a piece of meat the size of a fingernail.
That taste is absolutely amazing!
So delicious!
I really want to eat meat again!
