When Zhao Xiaole returned to the house, he saw his second aunt lying on the kang without saying anything, just lying on the kang. His stomach was really uncomfortable.
The navy came back with Haifeng and Xiaohong, and the house became lively.
Qi Xuemei got up when she heard the noise, and Zhiping was naturally happy to see so many people.
Xiaohong very obediently started to prepare to light the fire, and Haifeng followed the third sister like Xiaowei.
Qi Xuemei also felt cold, so it was a good time to light the fire.
"Xiaohong, your aunt said that she would go to their house for dinner tonight."
"Second aunt wants to boil hot water."
Zhixue had gotten the answer he wanted, and was very happy. He went out to share it with the navy, and he didn't have to leave this time.
Of course the brothers and sisters were also happy, and they didn't want to let Xue leave.
Xiaoling came back last. She greeted the three elders in the family and then asked the younger ones to start doing their homework.
By the time Minghua came over to ask for dinner, the homework was almost done. Zhao Yanli and her family of four also came over for dinner.
Two tables were fully opened, and the children were very happy because Zhixue could not leave.
At the adults' table, Zhao Qingjie also talked about Zhixue's decision.
"Brother-in-law, will we not be able to get food for the children from the farm in the future?"
"It should be okay. If the farm comes here to get fertilizer, it will be fine."
"There is no need for a farm. My eldest brother and Xiao Jing will also come to get fertilizers."
"That's fine. We're all acquaintances. I'll give them some benefits when the time comes."
"Zhixue said he wanted to stay, but I also thought that if we couldn't get food from the farm, just relying on food stamps wouldn't be enough for the children."
Zhao Xiaoli sneered, "Even if you can get food from the farm, you still have to give money to Big Brother and Xiao Jing, right?"
"Why are you so selfish? Just trying to take advantage?"
Zhao Qingjie was very embarrassed when he was told, "Of course I will give you the money."
Zhao Yanli nodded, "That's good. Just keep some money first and I'll take it back to the eldest brother or second sister."
Zhao Qingjie was said to be very embarrassed. "Zhao Yanli, what do you mean?"
"Second brother, I don't have any other intention. I'm just afraid that you will forget to give me the money."
Zhao Qingjie angrily took out a roll of money, counted out a hundred yuan and handed it to Zhao Yanli, "You can take it back with you. I will make up for the difference later. I also want to build a house when I go back. I don't have much money now."
Zhao Yanli counted it with a smile and put it away, "I'll ask my eldest brother and my second sister for this hundred yuan, and I'll give it to whoever's family provides food. There will also be Zhixue's tuition and miscellaneous fees."
Zhao Qingjie was so angry. He wanted to say that he would not let Zhixue stay. But his son was older and he had already told him. There was no way he could go back on his word now. Forget it, let's leave it at that.
He counted out another fifty dollars and put it on the table.
"Second brother, Zhixue is already old and is about to go to junior high school. I have provided you with daily clothes and other things, but this money is not enough. You can give me another fifty."
Zhao Qingjie was really embarrassed to say no in front of so many people. Now that he had reached this point, he gritted his teeth and gave another fifty yuan.
Asking him to take out 200 yuan was as uncomfortable as cutting a piece of meat.
Qi Xuemei felt uncomfortable looking at the money. Zhixue had been gone for so many years. Now the mother and son are not very close.
"Why do you stay? It's not the same school when you go back?"
Zhao Yanping answered, "How can it be the same? You don't know a lot of Chinese characters. What do you know? Zhixue is familiar with it here. Besides, how far is our village from the school?"
She is the eldest aunt and there is no problem in saying so. The two sisters have already discussed it and want to help Zhi learn this time, so that's why it's like this.
Qi Xuemei stopped talking now, but she really felt sorry for the two hundred yuan. It will be difficult to make money in the future.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward now. Zhao Tian didn't care about that and just ate by himself.
Zhao Yanli took out three train tickets from her pocket. "These are the train tickets for tomorrow night. Just give me ninety-three in total."
Zhao Qingjie had no choice but to take out the money again and gave the ninety-three. He didn't have a few dollars left.
Now everyone had a peaceful meal. After eating, Zhang Fusheng and Zhou Yongbing each took out fifty yuan and gave it to Zhao Tian.
"Dad, if you keep the flowers, you will have money in hand and confidence in your heart."
Zhao Tian took it over with a smile, and he did not refuse.
After eating, they all went back. Zhao Yanping sighed. In fact, there was nothing wrong with going back.
When they went back, they also slept separately for men and women. Qi Xuemei didn't open the gift voucher. She hugged Zhiping and covered herself with Xiaohong's quilt, which was just for one night.
Zhixue also knew just now that his father had given him money, and he knew that his father would be unhappy.
After the navy fell asleep, he said, "Dad, I will study hard and not let you spend this money in vain. I will definitely pay you back when I make money in the future."
Zhao Qingjie just said yes, he would not refuse such a thing.
The next day, the children went to school, and the three of them were at home. Today, Zhao Yanli asked them to go home for dinner.
I saved the tofu porridge today. I haven't eaten it for a long time, but I still think it's delicious.
The Zhou couple knew that their in-laws were going back, so they gave Zhao Tian 20 yuan, and Zhao Tian accepted it without refusing.
After dinner at Zhao Yanli's house in the evening, Zhou Yongbing and Zhang Fusheng rode a tricycle to see them off. Zhixue also followed, holding his brother in his arms. He told his mother that he wanted Zhiping to stay here to go to school, but his mother refused.
Already.
He hugged his little brother, knowing in his heart that it would be difficult for him to study in the future. He felt that he was sorry for his brother.
When he arrived at the train station, Zhang Fusheng found an acquaintance and the tricycle entered the platform through the small door.
This saves a lot of effort.
Zhixue still hugged his little brother and whispered to him that he must study.
Zhiping nodded, "Brother, I can do it."
In fact, the little guy doesn't know the importance of learning at all.
After the train arrived, the two uncles helped carry all the gifts onto the train.
After the train left, Zhixue followed his two uncles home.
He was still in a low mood. He knew he wouldn't be able to see his parents for a long time.
Zhang Fusheng looked at this boy with a wilted expression, "You can't regret the decision you make as a man. Study hard and try to go to university in the capital. By then you will be close to home."
"Uncle-in-law, I know. I just thought I wouldn't be able to see my parents for a few years. Also, Zhiping may not be able to go to school in the future."
Zhang Fusheng stopped talking. That was their decision as a couple. Zhao Qingjie should know the importance of studying and would find a way.
He sent Zhixue home directly. Xiaoling and the others were waiting for him.
"Second uncle got on the train?" Haijun asked.
"Yes, uncle and the others sent it up."
The children all saw that Zhixue didn't want to talk, so they stopped and stopped asking.
