005 Going to the toilet in the middle of the night
"Oh, it's a donation for the Asian Games!" Wang Xiaojuan suddenly changed her face, "That's why I have to donate some, it's a good thing to bring glory to the country."
She turned around and said to her husband who was reading the newspaper, "Lao Li, please donate ten yuan."
Li Dawei sighed helplessly, took out money and put it into the shoe box in his son's hand.
"Thank you, dad!" Li Jianjun bowed solemnly, and then walked towards the two sisters Li Manjun who were washing dishes.
Li Lijun moved quickly, shook off the water stains on her hands and said: "Our class also has a donation task, I have already donated!"
"Dad, Mom, I have to go to school first. I have to go half an hour early for the late self-study class in the repeat class!"
Before the words were spoken, the person had disappeared.
Li Manjun once saw on the news that people across the country donated money to support the success of the Asian Games.
She is a person with a strong sense of national pride and said to Li Jianjun readily:
"Wash the dishes and I'll donate a piece."
Knowing that the eldest sister is not working and has no income, one dollar is already a lot, and Li Jianjun is satisfied.
Just washing dishes...
"Don't tell me that a person like you can't wash dishes." Li Manjun was surprised.
Li Jianjun had never washed dishes at home. Just when he was about to agree, Wang Xiaojuan pushed Li Jianjun away like swatting away flies.
"Let's go, go to self-study, let the bowl mother wash it for you, and ask your sister to give you the money."
"Mom, isn't this good..." Li Jianjun was a little embarrassed.
Wang Xiaojuan smiled and said that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. She also praised her son for being sensible and knew that he had to help the family with housework, which made Li Jianjun feel guilty.
"Sister, then, I'll go to school first."
Li Manjun looked at her mother who rolled up her sleeves and washed the dishes speechlessly, and put a dollar into Li Jianjun's shoe box.
The two yuan I just earned will be cut in half. But for the sake of the country, we don’t feel bad!
"Dad, Mom, this can't be done. When Jianjun goes to high school and lives on campus, he won't be able to take care of himself independently." Before Li Manjun entered the house, he didn't forget to go to Li Dawei to give him a warning.
She said this sincerely, thanks to Li Jianjun's genetic kindness and being a fool, otherwise he would have been spoiled and turned into a lawless person.
Now that she has become a part of this family, Li Manjun will not just watch the two siblings go astray.
Li Dawei looked up from the newspaper and glanced at her, a little surprised, and then nodded.
"You go and rest, I will tell your mother."
Li Manjun felt relieved when he saw that his father had listened.
After washing the dishes, Wang Xiaojuan walked in and shook off the water stains on her hands. She glanced at the closed side door and asked, "Manjun, what did you two just say? What do you want to tell me?"
Li Dawei knows that his daughter's suggestion is a good one, but he can't say it directly to his wife's temper, otherwise she will definitely have a hundred reasons to refute you.
He replied perfunctorily: "I didn't say anything."
Wang Xiaojuan didn't believe it. She glanced at her husband, got up and patted Li Manjun's door, "Don't forget what I told you during the day. Aunt Wu will come to our house for lunch tomorrow, and you must stay at home for me, do you hear me?"
Li Manjun in the room rolled his eyes helplessly, "...I know!"
"It's good to know. I'm doing this for your own good. It's hard to find a good future now. We have to be more active than others in order to seize the opportunity. Do you understand?"
Li Manjun agreed in the room, and Wang Xiaojuan thought she had heard it, so she left.
At nine o'clock in the evening, during the evening self-study at the town middle school, Li Lijun and Li Jianjun were washing up in the courtyard. They were noisy for about ten minutes, and then they went back to their rooms to calm down.
In this era without mobile phones or the Internet, Li Manjun felt that the night was particularly long, thinking about things about the 1990s, and actually fell asleep.
Li Lijun made a lot of noise when she entered the room, and she struggled for a while before falling asleep.
Li Manjun was woken up and waited for the room to become quiet before falling asleep again.
Unexpectedly, I slept until midnight and was woken up by Li Lijun.
"Sister, sister, can you go to the toilet?"
Li Manjun thought it was dawn, so when he opened his eyes, it was dark outside the window.
"What are you doing?" Li Manjun's voice is still a little hoarse and he is not very awake.
"Sister, please accompany me to the bathroom." Li Lijun saw that her sister was awake and gave her a flashlight.
When Li Manjun was mentioned like this, she felt like peeing. She nodded, put on her slippers, and the two sisters opened the courtyard door, illuminated their flashlights, and went to the nearby public toilet side by side.
Li Manjun has rarely seen such a dark night, not to mention that this is a big town with no street lights at night.
When you look up, you can clearly see the stars all over the sky, twinkling and twinkling, with a clarity and abundance that you have never experienced in a big city.
Accompanied by the starry sky, the two sisters went to the toilet and returned home with their flashlights.
A little wind blew in the night, and Li Lijun immediately tightened her sister's arm in fear. Her suspicious look frightened Li Manjun as well.
The pace of the two gradually increased from normal speed, and finally they rushed straight into the door and ran back to the room.
Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night is really thrilling and exciting!
Before going to bed, Li Lijun said: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have thrown away that old chamber pot..."
Li Manjun felt sleepy, gave a perfunctory hum, and slept until dawn.
This time Li Manjun didn't stay up late. He knew he had to come back for lunch at noon, so he cherished his time in the morning.
She left the house whenever Li Lijun and Li Jianjun left the house in the morning.
Li Manjun bought three yuan of sugar and stayed near Liu Yan's house to watch her family leave. Then she went in and made peanut candy with Liu Yan.
Liu Yan's family has five brothers and sisters, three younger brothers and one younger sister. In order to take care of her younger siblings and cook for them, Liu Yan has been staying at home.
Her parents were both salespersons in a department store. Now that the company has closed down, they took the layoff subsidy and opened a counter in the original department store to start a small business.
I can make some money, but with five children at home, the financial pressure is great.
The second youngest brother failed to pass the high school entrance examination and could not find a suitable job at his age, so Liu Yan's parents arranged for him to learn auto repair from a master in the town.
No, the whole family opened a shop and went to school, but he was still lazy in bed.
When we came together, we saw Li Manjun and two people making soup, and curiously asked them what they were doing.
Li Manjun thought that he would not be able to spare any time in the second half of the day, and Liu Laoer could just be a good catcher.
Ask him: "Aren't you going to your master today?"
Liu Yan got angry when she mentioned this, "He repaired someone else's tractor. The master paid a huge sum of money and said he couldn't afford to be his apprentice, so he kicked him back!"
Liu Cheng went to cover her sister's mouth, but Liu Yan slapped him away, "Go away, don't stop me from doing something big with your sister Manjun!"
"What's the big deal?" Liu Cheng asked.
Li Manjun smiled and asked him if he wanted to do it together, and Liu Cheng nodded wildly.
Liu Yan was disgusted: "Don't take him with you, he will fail more than he will succeed."
Li Manjun told her that she was going home for lunch today and was not free in the afternoon, so Liu Yan agreed to take her brother with her.
When Liu Cheng saw them collecting a few pieces of toothpaste with a little sugar, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new world, and his shouting was even more rhythmic than Li Manjun's.
When it was almost noon, he waved his hand to Li Manjun to go home without worries and leave the rest to him.
"No one goes to those villages for ten and a half days, so we can definitely collect a lot of toothpaste rinds!" Before leaving, Liu Cheng confidently patted his chest and promised to help Li Manjun replace all the sugar syrup.
Seeing that he performed well in the morning, Li Manjun told Liu Yan to pay attention to safety when she went to the village, and then went home for lunch.
