"Brother, do you know about being laid off?" Ami suddenly felt that this younger brother was quite interesting, so he asked with great interest.

"Who doesn't know now, even the teachers in our school told us to study hard, saying that now that the science is developed, all the machines in the factory have been replaced by automatic ones, and it is enough to leave a few workers who press the button, and the rest are all laid off and go home to fend for themselves. Hey, Sister Da Li, so the streets of your city are full of idlers? What do they do to make a living? Moreover, there are many people in the countryside who go to the city to work, what kind of work do they do? ”

Mi Xuecheng stumped Ami with several consecutive questions, she has always had no worries about food and clothing, she only knows that her parents work very hard every day, and her mother often works overtime, and she has very little time to accompany herself on the street, as for what those adults are busy with, she really doesn't know anything, what she has to do is to listen to the words of teachers and parents, and do what they ask to do.

"My sister doesn't understand the things of those adults, we are children, just do a good job of Xi's grades." Ami thought for a moment and said.

"Sister Da Li, what do you say is the same as what your parents said, I heard that even if you are admitted to college now, you can't find a good job, and there are a few people in the village who stay at home all day, don't do anything, and are very troubled." Mi Xuecheng sighed and said.

"This shows that the quality of people has improved now, and people who have nothing to do are big students, if they don't study well, how can they live." Ami persuaded.

"Sister Da Li, what you said is right, but I just don't like Xi, it's boring, I like to watch cartoons, and the cartoons in country R are the best." Mi Xuecheng also gained momentum as he spoke.

"By the way, you have a computer at home, how are you playing?" Ami thought that he was surfing the Internet at his uncle's house that day, and his younger brother was not at home all day, and he didn't know where he had gone to play, so he asked curiously.

"It's not good to play blindly, but my dad is very strict, afraid that I will be addicted to playing games, always staring at me, telling me that day that you are here, telling me not to grab the computer with you, I had to run out to play at a friend's house." Mi Xuecheng felt that something was wrong when she said that, and immediately whispered: "Sister Da Li, don't tell my father about these things." "Amused Ami hehe, thinking to himself that this little clever ghost thinks about how to play all day long, can you still practice it with your heart.

"Brother, did you do your winter vacation homework?" Ami asked.

"I sent it, but I only wrote two pages, or my mother watched me write it, there are more than 20 days to leave, don't worry." Mi Xue looked like she didn't care, but Ami was stunned, it seems that this younger brother doesn't have a concept of time, and it is not a good habit to wait until it is about to open and then sharpen the gun, so he smiled and said: "You go and bring your homework, my sister will accompany you to write, anyway, I don't have anything to do now." ”

"Sister Da Li, did you bring your homework?" Mi Xuecheng looked at Ami's kind smile and asked curiously.

"Sister's homework, I finished it before I came here." Ami replied happily.

"Oh? My sister is so awesome! After Mi Xuecheng finished speaking, he hurried home to get his homework.

After a few days, Ami felt completely well, and went to her uncle's house with Li Xinying to play online. After a few days here, Ami felt that life in the countryside was not much fun, and there was nothing to do here except watching TV, or adults playing poker and mahjong around the table. While they were playing, they chatted with interest, the proprietor Li Jia's short, some domestic and foreign news on TV, some also chatted about which person got rich, which person went bankrupt, and how much money they won yesterday with a good hand......

Just when Ami and Li Xinying were watching the sci-fi cartoon together with great interest, Ami saw his uncle walking in from outside the door, he had a gloomy face, didn't say a word, and sat on the sofa with his head down.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you, is there something unhappy?" Ami walked up to his uncle and asked softly. Because since I was a child, my uncle was very kind to himself, and every time he came here, his uncle would take himself to the store to buy a lot of delicious things, and he didn't even bring his own children.

"Come, Ami, let Uncle hug." Uncle stretched out his hand to take Ami into his arms, reluctantly squeezed a smile from his face and said, "Uncle is fine, it's just that I'm a little tired outside, as soon as I see Ami, it's fine, how are you having fun here, what do you want to eat, uncle will take you to buy." ”

"Uncle, we brought a lot of food when we came, you don't need to buy it, your family has changed a lot this year, this floor is newly paved." Ami looked around the room and chatted with his uncle.

"Well, now everyone is like this, except for people like your grandmother's age who still like to sleep on the ondol, young families have decorated their rooms like this and changed their beds." As the uncle spoke, there was a lingering sadness on his face.

"Grandma, I saw my uncle looking unhappy today, what happened?" Back at her grandmother's house, Ami asked her grandmother in private.

"Your uncle is fine, but if he has something, you children don't care, just remember to practice well, and adults will do it." When Grandma heard Ami's inquiry, her originally joyful face also showed sadness, and she said listlessly.

"Grandma, there must be something wrong with my uncle, otherwise I wouldn't be so sad, you must tell me, I'm sensible now." Ami continued: "Besides, we are now in the time to gain knowledge, and knowing more things will also benefit us in the future." ”

"My good granddaughter, it seems that grandma and uncle didn't hurt you in vain, your uncle really encountered something big this time, I was thinking about waiting for your dad to come back, how to talk to him." Grandma actually cried when she said it, which really frightened Ami, and it was the first time she had seen her grandmother so sad when she was so big.

"Grandma, what the hell is going on? Tell me quickly. Ami asked anxiously.

"Your uncle, he has a company that he runs together, I don't know what he does, I just know that this company is very good with your uncle when he is young, and he often comes to our house to play. Later, your uncle listened to his words and helped him raise money, not only took more than 100,000 yuan in his family, but also owed more than 200,000 yuan to the villagers, a total of 600,000 yuan, and it was gone. Grandma wiped her tears and cried.

"Grandma, doesn't his fellow have a company? Why doesn't the money come back? Ami asked curiously.

"His acquaintance is a big fraud at all, and the company is also temporarily borrowed to cheat money, I heard that the people who were deceived are not only your uncle, but also many people. Now your uncle can't even find the same figure, even if he finds it, if he gives all the money to Huo Huo, what trick do you have, send him to the Public Security Bureau and let him go to jail, this money is even more hopeless, ah, it's really unpredictable, your uncle's living standard has just improved in the past few years, and he has encountered this mess again. Grandma cried and cried, wiped away her tears, and then said with a wry smile: "Look at how unproductive grandma is, and crying, this is also a little uncomfortable listening to your uncle's affairs, it's good to cry, Ami, you go into the house and wait for a while, grandma will make the dish immediately." ”

After listening to her grandmother's words, Ami secretly thought, is this money really that important, otherwise how could grandma and uncle be so sad about money.
