Next to her, Li Xiaomei already felt a little regretful.
My brother is getting married soon and will definitely need a lot of money.
If you lend money to others, you will have no money.
what can we do about it?
However, Sister Yuyu is really pitiful.
Huh, damn He Yuzhu!!!
Li Xiaomei's fingers were tangled together and almost twisted into knots. Finally, she timidly came to Li Donglai's side, squatted on the ground and waited with big eyes: "Brother, please help Sister Yuyu. The worst is, I won't eat eggs anymore."
It will definitely not delay your marriage."
This silly girl really has a good heart.
Li Donglai slowly stood up and returned to the table: "Sister Yuyu, we are all neighbors in the same compound, and we should help each other. No family can have problems. It is a big deal for you to go to school, and I must help you with this."
Crystal tears overflowed from He Yuyu's big eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she bowed her waist and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you..."
Li Donglai interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "But, my brothers are still settling the accounts. I advanced this money to you in advance. You need to write me an IOU."
Five yuan per semester, teaching, and cleaning.
Gee, this is comparable to the 996 social beast in the previous life.
He Yuyu suppressed the excitement in his heart and sobbed: "Don't worry, I will find a job after graduation and I will pay you back as soon as I earn money."
In the past two days, she had been running around for tuition fees, and she felt the warmth and warmth of humanity.
Thank God if someone is willing to lend me money.
Later, Li Xiaomei brought her exercise book and pen.
He Yuyu worked hard and wrote the IOU one stroke at a time.
Li Donglai took the IOU and read it carefully. The child's handwriting was beautiful and neat.
If I can go to college, I will be a talented person in the future.
He took out the few remaining banknotes from his arms, counted two large ones and handed them over.
He Yuyu took it, bowed deeply, and walked backward out of the house.
Submerged in the overwhelming darkness.
...
After He Yuyu left, Li Xiaomei became happy again.
She jumped over to the bicycle and stroked the huge toy, her eyes twinkling.
This is a bicycle, and there are no leaders in the commune.
My brother is so awesome!
"Brother, teach me how to ride a bicycle tomorrow."
...
night.
It was quiet, with only the crisp chirping of crickets in the air.
Turning off the light, Li Donglai lay on the bed, stared, and began to calculate his family fortune.
It is easy to spend money but hard to make money. I finally saved 215 yuan. I spent 180 yuan to buy a bicycle, 3 yuan for insurance, and lent 20 yuan to He Yuyu. In the blink of an eye, I only had 12 yuan left.
Wages are due in two days, and the salary is 48.5 yuan, even if it is 60.5 yuan.
This amount of money is quite a lot for ordinary people.
However, for Li Donglai, who had no foundation in the capital and was still preparing to get married, it was not enough.
Ding Qiunan is a yellow-flowered girl, and she cannot let her family suffer any injustice when she gets married.
There is no need for betrothal gifts these days. If you are interested, give me some two kilograms of pork, two bottles of wine, and two cigarettes to coax my father-in-law.
Let’s not talk about this for now.
A sewing machine, radio, watch, double bed, and dining table are always indispensable.
Well, especially for a double bed, you need to find someone to make a sturdy one.
Lin Lin finally calculated that it would cost several hundred dollars more.
I don’t know how prepared Gu Shen is.
...
In the early morning, the golden sunshine filled the capital.
The courtyard that had been silent all night came to life again.
The adults gathered around the faucet to get face wash, while the children had fun.
Li Xiaomei does what she says, and she won't eat anything she says about that egg.
This little girl has a really stubborn temper.
In line with the policy of not wasting food, Li Donglai cooked a white water egg.
I had a hasty breakfast of porridge and radish strips.
Pushing the bicycle, preparing to take Li Xiaomei to work.
Of course, in the past, it was impossible for Li Donglai to send Li Xiaomei off by bicycle.
But this is the treatment she got in exchange for a week of housework.
As soon as I went out, I met Yi Zhonghai who was returning from exercising.
Although Yi Zhonghai is nearly fifty years old, he is an eighth-level fitter and does not have to do physical work. He looks very young, with almost wrinkles on his face.
Yi Zhonghai saw the shiny bicycle and walked over with wide eyes.
"Dong Lai, have you bought a bicycle?"
Li Donglai nodded: "Yes, didn't the factory give out bonuses yesterday?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing! Just one month after joining the factory, you can afford a bicycle. Coming from the east, your future is bright." Yi Zhonghai said sincerely.
Yi Zhonghai earns more than 90 yuan a month, which the couple can't spend all.
I have saved a lot of money over the years, so I can definitely go to Pigeon Market and buy a bicycle ticket.
The key is that the title of advanced individual is really enviable and jealous.
That's your passport to becoming a workshop director.
As an eighth-level veteran fitter, Yi Zhonghai's lifelong dream is to become an advanced individual.
However, the quota for advanced individuals is only ten per year.
Although he is an eighth-level fitter, he still has some technical skills.
Yi Zhonghai praised a few words, then his aunt called him to eat, then turned around and went back to the house.
Thinking about it while walking, it seems that the plan to win over Li Donglai must be advanced.
Once this rural boy establishes a foothold in the capital, it will be difficult for him to support him in his old age.
...
Silly Zhu also came out to get face wash at this time.
When I saw the bicycle, I ran over with eyes shining.
Staring: "Cousin Huairu, how much does a bicycle cost?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the silver bell.
This thing is so attractive.
"Snapped"
Li Donglai reached out and knocked off Silly Zhu's hand: "Don't touch it!"
The bell is like a car light, and Li Donglai can only touch it himself.
Silly Zhu retracted his hand and said: "I won't let you touch me. It's too stingy."
Not being allowed to get started, Shazhu could only come closer and smell it with his nose.
The pleasant plastic smell emanating from the car seat made him intoxicated.
Seeing Si Zhu squinting his eyes and looking obsessed, Li Donglai patted the car seat and said with a smile: "Comrade He Yuzhu, I remember that you are an eighth-level chef, and you earn thirty-seven and a half yuan a month. This salary is not low.
Why didn’t you buy a bicycle?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the past, Li Donglai would not have had to be angry with Silly Zhu.
But thinking of what happened to He Yuyu, Li Donglai became extremely angry.
Is this what a brother should do?
When money was mentioned, Shazhu looked embarrassed.
He forced out a forced smile in embarrassment: "My money... was spent by my sister."
"Brother Donglai, you don't know that going to school now is too expensive. Tuition fees, clothes, and books all add up to a lot."
"As an older brother, I naturally have to live frugally. Oh my, it's easy for me!"
His monthly salary is thirty-seven and a half yuan. Logically speaking, if he saves for half a year, he can buy a bicycle.
However, in these years, his money was either spent on blind dates or on Qin Huairu.
Now he is penniless.
However, this kind of scandal can only be done, not said.
...
Shameless, really shameless.
Li Donglai wanted to expose his lie, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the dry girl standing there quietly holding on to the doorframe.
There was pleading in his eyes and pain on his face.
For the sake of He Yuyu's future, Li Donglai could only smile bitterly and said: "As a brother, you should take good care of your sister."
"Yes, yes." Silly Zhu circled around the bicycle.
...
At the door of Jia's house.
Qin Huairu was washing clothes for Jia Zhang, and there was no foam in the basin.
Because Mrs. Jia Zhang said that after using soap to wash the clothes, they felt uncomfortable to wear.
Qin Huairu knew that she was afraid of spending money.
Of course, it's not that Jia Zhang is a stingy person, she is just stingy towards other people.
Take the painkillers she takes every month for example.
Painkillers are not reimbursed. Three pills a day cost 10 cents, which is 3 yuan a month.
This money is enough for the entire Jia family to buy groceries.
...
The clothes these days are made of coarse cloth, which is thick and rough. It is difficult to rub it clean without soap. Qin Huairu's little hands turned red from rubbing them.
Occasionally she raised her head, and a golden light came into her eyes.
Qin Huairu rubbed her eyes, her bright red mouth could no longer be closed, and her breathing became rapid.
Li Donglai was pushing a shiny 28-inch truck.
The golden logo on the bicycle emits a golden light under the sunlight.
Li Donglai buys a bicycle?
How could he, a barefoot doctor, have money to buy a bicycle?
Owning a bicycle is Qin Huairu's dream.
When they were in Qinjiagou, every time the postman came, she and Qin Jingru would always run two miles behind the car, just to get one more look at the majestic bicycle.
When I married Jia Xudong, the Jia family promised to buy a bicycle after they got married.
As a result, she was already a mother of two children and the bicycle was still missing.
Moreover, if the Jia family's situation continues, it will be impossible for them to afford a bicycle within five years.
