Chapter 16 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop
Time flies and half a year has passed.
Today is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the school is already on holiday. He just finished the exams a few days ago and is on winter vacation. Zhao Ye plans to take the children out for a walk.
It has been half a year since he came to the capital, and he has not taken the children out to play once.
Sici is a little better. After all, she is young and stays at home all day, so she doesn't have much desire to go out and play.
But Sijia is different. She is older and has gone to school, so she naturally has much more knowledge than Sici, and she has long wanted to go out and play.
It's just that the little girl is sensible and knows that her brother is nervous about studying, so she shouldn't make such a request.
But now that she was on vacation, she could finally muster up the courage to ask.
During breakfast, Scarlett tried it out, but unexpectedly, her brother agreed immediately. This made her extremely happy.
For this reason, she even showed off to Xiaodang.
The two children are of the same age and it is inevitable to compare and show off to each other.
Of course Xiaodang was not convinced, and then asked his brother to go to the zoo.
Scarlett just told him that her brother was going to the zoo with his sister and brother.
Not to mention the sounds of crying children and adults scolding from the Jia family, Zhao Ye was busy taking care of several children.
In the past six months, he, as an older brother, has become both a father and a mother.
If he were at this age in his previous life, he wouldn't be able to hold on for a day.
But for Zhao Ye now, he is in pain and happiness.
Maybe it's the psychological changes brought about by age.
This is what he summed up, but others don’t know.
Director Yang from the sub-district office always praises me every time I see him.
I have already asked him twice to introduce a partner, which made him dumbfounded.
He is still in school, he is only sixteen, should he be like this! If this were the past life, children of this age would have to be taught by school teachers and parents in turns, let alone getting married, when talking about life with girls.
How is it like now, you can get married if you want.
Just as they were preparing to go out, they happened to meet the postman who came to their door.
"Who is Zhao Ye? I have your registered mail and remittance slip! Good guy, it's more than five hundred. What are you doing? So much money?"
The postman's words were like a grenade thrown into the bunker, and people all over the yard came out from various places.
"Yezi, Yezi, look, who sent you the money? This is too much!" Yan Bugui stood at the door as usual, just waiting to see similar things.
I usually look at what others have bought and see if I can get some benefit from it.
He's a big guy this time, why don't you give him ten or eight dollars?
He didn't even think about why Zhao Ye gave him money for no reason.
However, this was what Zhao Ye took for granted. Since he was guarding the door, he would naturally have other methods.
With a group of people surrounding him, Zhao Ye had no choice but to open the registered letter on the spot and let everyone know what was going on.
Otherwise, in less than a day, this news might be spread like wildfire!
The letter read: "Hello, Comrade Zhao Ye. The manuscript has been received. After collective review by our ** Literary Editorial Department, your novel "War Song of Fire" has been officially published. The sample book is now sent to you.
Please review it. If you have any comments, please contact us and discuss together. In addition, the second edition of "The Light of the Righteous Path" and the third edition of "Little Mao's Wanderings" have been published, and the total manuscript fee of 572 yuan will be given to you.
Please check it in time! **Literary Publishing House."
After reading the letter, everyone in the courtyard felt sour in their hearts. This is so unfair!
Zhao Ye doesn't go to work, so he gets the wages and subsidies from the factory in vain. Now he just writes and draws, and he has so much royalties! How can he spend it all?
Although you are a loser, eating alone and supporting other people's family, you still earn too much. It really makes me angry.
After sending away the curious postman, Zhao Ye was about to walk out when Yan Bugui caught him.
"I said, Yezi, you have earned so much money, you have to treat us! Is that right, everyone?" Yan Bugui said loudly.
"Yes, yes, we really should treat guests. How can we spend so much money?" Everyone commented one after another.
Zhao Ye was also confused and couldn't get off the stage. If he had known about it, he would have written down the address of the school.
At least in school, a treat is just a few bottles of soda. I didn't expect that I would have to treat a guest in the compound.
This is not something that can be consumed by a few bottles of soda.
There is no other way but to lose money and avoid disaster.
But even if you treat me to a meal, I only have a few kilograms of food stamps! How can I afford to treat the whole hospital to a meal?
Although he couldn't finish the food in private, he couldn't show it.
"Everyone, everyone, I really can't afford to treat you. My family has no food. It's no use having money." As soon as Zhao Ye finished speaking, the crowd started to stir up excitement.
Zhao Ye quickly said, "But, I can still prepare some New Year gifts for everyone."
"What? What?" Qin Huairu was the most active at this time.
"Uh! Keep this secret, keep it secret. I'll go out and buy it right away. I'll deliver it to everyone's home tonight." Zhao Ye quickly promised.
"You have to keep your word, otherwise, I will go to your house for dinner tonight!" Qin Huairu chased him.
"Okay, okay, I promise there will be no problem!" Zhao Ye said as he ran away!
Everyone suppressed the sourness in their hearts and dispersed to go about their own business.
Zhao Ye didn't take this too seriously. He had already thought about it. He would buy a dozen infusion bottles on the road and give each house a pound of peanut oil.
He still has a lot of them in his space, but not that many bottles.
I bought the bottle just to cover people’s eyes and ears. Who is it? Of course it’s Scarlett!
This girl is so arrogant that she has tried to settle accounts with herself several times, saying that there is something wrong with her food. The food, meat, and oil she eats are not up to par with what she eats above.
Zhao Ye lied every time he got it, saying that he went to the black market to get it. Every time, the little girl complained for a long time, saying that it was too dangerous and that if he was caught, he would be punished.
Then she would cry, and Zhao Ye would comfort her for a long time every time.
He is a student and can come to the zoo for half price or three cents. The younger ones are free.
Therefore, the happiness index of this era is not necessarily much lower than that of later generations. In other words, if people are nervous about eating, if they can eat and drink as much as they can in later generations, maybe the happiness index of this era will be higher.
Um, that's not right. Once you are satisfied with food, you have to think about housing.
For example, Zhao Ye just wants a house now. An independent house!
It's so inconvenient to be in the courtyard now. Everyone in the courtyard will know if he eats some meat. Several times when he stir-fries meat, several children will come around and you can't chase them away!
It's just a few pieces of meat, and you have to share it with the neighbor's children. That means Zhao Ye has room, otherwise he will be depressed to death.
It’s depressing enough even now. Think about it, you can’t just take out the meat in space, right? At least you can’t take it out when eating, because your family is watching!
After frying several pieces of meat, the little girls counted them clearly. Zhao Ye could only stuff meat into his stomach in the middle of the night.
Very unhappy.
It’s not a meal, it’s awkward to eat, okay?
At the zoo, the children were playing very excitedly. Just when Zhao Ye was lamenting the lack of a camera, he saw a classmate from a distance, Bie Jia.
Biejia was a Soviet man who came to the capital with his father. He had the best time with a classmate named Duck.
Anyone can see that there is something interesting between the two of them.
However, Zhao Ye is not optimistic about them. Others don't know it, but he knows that those experts will suddenly evacuate next year. This is particularly good, and there is a high probability that they will follow them.
It cannot be said that it is a high probability, it should be said that it is certain.
Alas, another pair of miserable mandarin ducks!
But this had nothing to do with Zhao Ye. Zhao Ye also suddenly thought, could he do anything about the Soviet Union's withdrawal of experts? After thinking about it, he didn't have any chance.
I really can’t touch that level.
What a fuss!
But now is not the time to think about this, getting a camera is the right way to go!
"Biejia! Duck! Here, I'm here!" Zhao Ye shouted towards them from a distance.
After shouting several times, Biejia noticed me. Then he ran over with the duck in his hand.
As soon as they met, Duck came up and punched Zhao Ye.
"I've told you so many times, don't call me duck, my name is Duck, not duck. If you really can't remember, just call me Wang Guoying! I really hate you!" Wang Guoying was so angry that the whole class
Call yourself a duck after this guy!
"Hey, classmate Wang Guoying, you are blaming the wrong person for this. Bie Jia told me this. If others follow suit, it is Bie Jia's fault!"
"Don't blame everything on Bie Jia. He is a foreigner. It is normal for his pronunciation to be irregular. You did it on purpose!" He punched Zhao Ye again.
Zhao Ye is no longer the frail person he was six months ago. He is now 1.82 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure and solid muscles. With a medical robot, Zhao Ye can almost arrange his figure as he pleases!
Well, he is so domineering! He is domineering and infuriating!
The girl's small punches did not cause any harm to him, but instead narrowed the distance between his classmates.
"Biejia, can we communicate in Russian?" Zhao Ye said in Russian.
"Oh, my God, Xiao Yezi, are you a black-hearted capitalist? You are so skilled at squeezing out my value!" Biejia also spoke Russian, and Zhao Ye often communicated with him in Russian. From the initial stumbling, to
Fluent communication now.
Bie Jia said more than once that Zhao Ye is a monster!
Of course he is a monster. This guy tortures a young lady who speaks Russian every night. Not to mention reading and writing, I heard that he is making rapid progress.
Zhao Ye took the opportunity to touch Biejia's camera and quickly copied one in space.
In this way, he will have a camera to use in the future.
Let Bejia take a family photo for him, with a giraffe in the background.
Unfortunately, the result of the photo is that the giraffe has no neck and head, only half a body and a section of legs.
I don’t know whether I should say that Biejia’s shooting skills were not good, or that the place chosen by Sijia was inappropriate. Sijia and Zhao Ye later argued about this issue for half their life.
