Wei Qingfan finally couldn't help laughing, patted him on the shoulder, moved the chair away, and scolded him in a gentle tone: "Sit tight!"
Wei Qinghan glanced at him and did not move.
Several elders noticed the interaction between the two brothers and looked at each other with smiles.
Uncle Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Don't bully your brother."
"You two brothers are playing around, so just leave it alone."
Aunt Li Heng smiled and scolded, then asked: "Did Qingfan go to the library this afternoon?"
"Um."
Wei Qingfan was a little surprised by his parents' quick talk, but this also showed how surprised his parents were. He smiled and nodded, saying: "I have nothing to do, so I went shopping, there are quite a lot of books.
"
While talking, he noticed Wei Qinghan looking over. Knowing that this younger brother loved reading, he smiled and said, "I need a library card. If you want to borrow it, come back and get it from me."
Wei Zhengdao: "The library card seems to require a deposit... fifty, right?"
"It seems that they also charge a production fee, which should be seventy."
For Wei Qingfan, who is still in school, this is not a small amount. Li Heng said, looking at Wei Peng and Wang Shuhua, who then looked at Wei Qingfan.
Wei Qingfan smiled awkwardly: "I didn't have that much money anymore. I only had thirty on me at the time. I happened to meet a classmate and lent me fifty."
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Then return it as soon as school starts."
Wei Peng said: "Let your mother give it to you later."
"Where's the library card?"
Wei Qing rolled his eyes happily and suddenly interjected, "Brother, you don't want to use this method to get money to go to an Internet cafe, do you?"
"Are you quite skilled?"
Wei Qingfan glanced at her sideways, "I've borrowed all the books, why are you lying?"
"I'm not you."
Wei Qinghuan immediately realized that his brother was digging a hole for him, and retorted unconvinced, "Where is your library card?"
Wei Qingfan touched his trouser pocket and found that he didn't have it with him, "I'm at home. If you want to borrow a book, I'll lend it to you later."
"I brought the book to my house. It's true this time. Don't accuse your brother wrongly." Wang Shuhua explained to her son with a smile.
What is this time...
Wei Qingfan secretly complained and did not dare to speak out, so as not to be slapped in the face by the old story being revealed on the spot.
Wei Qinghuan rolled his eyes again, as if he wanted to say something. His expression seemed to make him laugh about his crush on the school beauty, but he was worried that his elders would be there, so he held back.
Li Heng smiled and said: "You can just learn if you want to. Whatever books you want to read, your uncle will also have them here. If you don't have them, just buy them and ask your uncle to reimburse you."
Wei Qingchan murmured in a low voice: "With my dad's little pocket money, why don't you go and harm my dad?"
The whole family laughed.
Li Heng glared at his daughter angrily, and Wei Qingchan stuck out her tongue.
Wei Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as you repay the money you paid for the book, I can repay you too."
Wei Qingfan said: "Okay."
Wei Qinghan raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't dare.
Wei Qingfan turned to look at him: "You also want to retaliate?"
Before Wei Qinghan finished speaking, Wang Qing asked: "What are you signing up for? Look at all the books you bought all day long. Is there any one related to study?"
Wei Qinghan looked at his mother, his mouth flat with grievance, but he did not dare to refute.
Li Heng advised: "It's okay. You have a wide range of interests. You don't necessarily have to read books only if you have good academic performance. Maybe you can become a writer in the future?"
She softened her tone and smiled at Wei Qinghan: "You can ask your uncle for reimbursement for any books you buy. If your mother doesn't agree, don't let him know... But you have to tell your uncle what books you buy."
.”
"Uh-huh!"
Wei Qinghan nodded vigorously with excitement, his eyes shining.
"Nerd." Wei Qinghuan muttered softly.
Wei Qinghan was immersed in the excitement of being able to buy a lot of books and didn't care about her sister. Of course, there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn't fight, she couldn't argue, and her status couldn't suppress her.
While they were talking, waiters came over one after another to serve the food. Wei Zheng greeted him and asked him to eat, and Wei Sheng also came in after finishing his cigarette.
Wei Peng asked: "Smoking for so long?"
"Aren't you afraid that the smell of smoke will be too strong..."
Wei Sheng sat down with a smile, probably afraid of being scolded, and said quickly: "Eat, eat, I'm really a little hungry."
The whole family chatted occasionally while eating. The three Wei Zheng brothers drank some beer to fill their stomachs. While chatting, Li Heng said: "By the way, Shuhua, I have something to discuss with you."
Everyone at the table looked over, Li Heng smiled and said: "Last year when we withdrew the campus and merged the school..."
After she finished speaking, Wei Peng hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, everything is..."
Wei Zheng waved his hand and interrupted: "Listen to your sister-in-law first."
Wei Peng had no choice but to shut up.
Wei Qingchan and Wei Qinghuan looked at each other, both a little confused, but Wei Qingfan relied on the memory of later generations to understand the words of their elders more clearly.
My mother, Wang Shuhua, was a primary school teacher in the village. Last year, the county merged schools and abolished schools in surrounding rural areas. Wang Shuhua was laid off as a result.
In fact, there are transfer and resettlement quotas in the county, and Wei Zheng works in the county's Education and Sports Bureau, which is in charge of education. Wei Peng and Wang Shuhua wanted their eldest brother to do a favor and give Wang Shuhua a quota to be transferred to a nearby county primary school.
However, the number of places was limited, and Wei Zheng was not able to apply, or to put it bluntly, there was no application.
Although the uncle has lost a lot of his spirit and edges in reality, he still has his persistence and bottom line in some aspects.
Both Wei Peng and Wang Shuhua understood this, but some complaints in their hearts were inevitable.
Li Heng smiled and said: "You all know what happened. He is just like that. He can't do anything to squeeze out people's quota.
"I am not saying this because I am afraid that you will complain in your hearts. As a family, there is nothing that we cannot say.
"Actually, if I really wanted to change schools, I could have done it for you without telling him. But after thinking about it later, I thought you might as well take this opportunity to do something else."
She glanced at Wei Qingfan and continued in a soft tone: "The children are getting older and will have to go to college in two years. They are all getting married now. The expenses will definitely increase in the future. You have just started...
After building a new house and teaching in school, your salary is only that much. How about you do something like Wei Sheng and do some business..."
Wei Sheng said: "I told you a long time ago, second brother, you will come with me, let's..."
Wei Peng said helplessly: "Don't interrupt, wait until sister-in-law finishes speaking."
Wei Zheng took the words and said, "Do you know about the newly established Tianhai Middle School?"
Wang Shuhua nodded and said, "Well, their new campus is quite close to the village."
Li Heng smiled and said unhurriedly: "They will officially open a high school this year. There will definitely not be many students at the beginning, but at least there will be three or four hundred. After the Spring Festival, the current students from No. 4 Middle School may move there.
By then there will be almost two thousand students.
"I think you can open a small shop in the school. Although it is small, it can make a lot of money, and it is also close to home."
Wang Qing said: "That's not true. There are so many students and it's a private school. Those who are not allowed to leave the school can earn tens of thousands a year."
Wei Sheng said: "I think this is reliable, second brother and second sister-in-law, just do this, don't hesitate!
"I'm not tired. I just need someone to watch over me. It won't delay the work in the fields. Even if I'm really busy, we can go and help."
In this big family, the people at the helm are Wei Zheng and Li Heng. According to Wei Zheng's plan, his job will basically not change. It is best for one of the two brothers to stay at home to farm and take care of the elderly, while the other can do some business.
There is no need to tie everything to a few acres of land.
The last people who stayed, Wei Peng and Wei Sheng, opened a clothing store in the county a few years ago and the business was good.
It can be said that among the three brothers, Wei Peng is currently in a relatively difficult financial situation, especially after building a new house. Wei Zheng has obviously been thinking of ways to find a way out for this younger brother's family.
Wei Zhengdao: "Think about it, if you want to do it, decide as soon as possible, and then we will find a way to prepare everything and start it as soon as possible. School will start soon."
Li Heng said: "This matter may be urgent or not urgent. After all, it is a new campus and there is more than just this one shop. A few days' delay will not delay students' shopping.
"In addition, Shuhua, if you really don't want to do this and want to continue teaching, there is still a vacancy in Chengguan Primary School. I will go back and find out... You and your wife can discuss this matter and see how you choose.
"I personally suggest opening a store, but of course the final decision rests with you."
Wang Qing said: "I also think it's good to open a store."
Wei Sheng said: "Just open a store."
Wei Peng looked at Wang Shuhua and said nothing. Wang Shuhua hesitated for a moment and sighed: "It's not good for me as a teacher to earn students' money..."
Wang Qing said: "If you don't earn it, someone else will earn it."
Wei Sheng said: "Second sister-in-law, if you go, you can be nicer to the students, right? Let's just make less."
Li Heng said: "We won't advise you on this matter. Shuhua, you can make your own decision."
Wang Shuhua nodded.
Wei Qingchan didn't interrupt until the conversation was almost over, so she curiously asked: "Isn't school starting soon? If my aunt wants to teach, is it still too late?"
Wang Shuhua also raised her head after hearing this.
Li Heng said: "There is enough time. It is not that one teacher only teaches one class, nor does he have to teach several classes. There is room for flexible arrangements."
"oh."
Wei Qingchan nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to cook.
Wei Qingfan was also working hard and did not interrupt.
There was nothing serious after this topic. The whole family chatted and finished the meal, then cleaned up and left together.
After going downstairs, Wei Zheng paid the bill as usual, while Wei Qingfan and his sister, sister and brother were waiting outside the door, taking a breath of fresh air.
Then when he turned his head unconsciously, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the stairs, so he turned around quickly and then back again, almost breaking his neck.
Fortunately, the person did not admit his mistake. He was the classmate Bai Fumei who borrowed money from the library in the afternoon and was suspected of being "Li Miaoyu".
She was still wearing the same clothes as when they met her in the afternoon, and she came downstairs smartly behind a man and a woman. The woman was the one who drove to pick her up in the evening. She was tall and graceful, and she seemed to be her mother.
Wei Zheng had just paid the bill and was about to leave when he noticed that his nephew was staring behind him intently, so he glanced back subconsciously, then stopped and greeted with a smile: "Director Zhao, what a coincidence?"
