"My letter?" Qingning was a little excited. It was the first time in her life. "Who wrote it?" She took it over and glanced at the envelope. "Oh! It's my sister."
Can I still guess that it is Qingping?
Otherwise, who can ask Lin Yulong to help me mail the letter.
She looked surprised and said, "Really? What do you want from me?"
Qing Ning paused when she was about to open the letter, then turned around and scurried back to her room, "Mom, this is a private letter. You see, I didn't even pry when you received the letter..."
"Who wrote a letter to your mother?" Fourth Master came out of the study with a cup in his hand. He was afraid that he might have come out to refill the cup, so he picked up a handle as soon as he came out and asked as he answered.
Qingning poked her head out of the room, blinked at her mother, and then made an innocent look to her father, "Didn't my mother tell you?" She opened her mouth in an exaggerated way,
Then she stretched out her hand and covered it again, as if breaking her promise, and said to her mother: "What should I do? I told my mother's secret, what should I do? I didn't mean to!" Then she looked at her father again, "My mother must be sure.
I didn't hide it from you on purpose...really..." After saying that, he retracted his head, and the two of them only heard the daughter's more exaggerated voice: "Don't take it to heart...I really don't want to stir up trouble...
…It’s really…”
Drama queen!
The two of them were left looking at each other.
Fourth Master said, "What's going on?" He asked as he walked to the kitchen.
As a result, Lin Yutong opened his mouth and said, "What..."
The fourth master paused in his steps. He was really just asking casually, but something seemed wrong. There was something wrong!
Ouch! There are really people who want to take advantage of the wall.
The fourth master just said "ha", and the aftertaste was quite worth remembering.
Lin Yutong rolled her eyes and stared at him secretly, "What the hell!"
Qing Ning covered her mouth and snickered as she entered, singing cheers and cheers, feeling quite complacent. Look! No one has remembered to ask about his personal letters.
Huh! It's not that easy to pry into my private affairs.
He sat down at his desk seriously, turned on the desk lamp, and opened the letter.
Then my brows furrowed. The pinyin thing was really weird to read. When I finished reading, my brows were so furrowed that they could pick up mosquitoes.
She took out paper and pen to reply. She had no problem writing letters with the characters she recognized now. But she had to ask Qingping to read without difficulty. She also had to write one line with a blank line and then mark the pinyin after she finished writing.
But how should I write this letter?
Biting the end of the pencil, I secretly ate two candies, and then I wrote the word 'sister' at the beginning.
If you don’t know how to write, just speak and write.
So she wrote: Sister, why are you so hard to think about?
After writing, after another pause, what she actually wanted to say was: Sister, why are you so stupid?
Some things can be seen secretly, but cannot be listened to openly.
Every time when adults come to the house to talk about something, do they just say hello and hide away without seeing me? In the words of adults, tell adults to leave the children alone, because they can't do it anyway.
It was wrong for her to stay and listen, and it was wrong for her to interrupt the adults. It was also wrong for her to go to Yan'er just after what happened.
But then again, the countryside is different from the city, and the second uncle's house is different from my own house. I have a room that I can go to. But the second uncle's house has many rooms, but the whole family only lives in one room.
The living room, bedroom and dining room can be collectively referred to as the multi-functional hall. There is really no place to hide if she wants to. Unless she stands in the corridor and blows the wind.
If it were me, I would definitely doze off if I had nowhere to go.
Even if you hear it, you pretend not to hear it.
This is what my father said, don’t look at or hear anything inappropriate. If you read or hear anything, you will get into trouble.
She wrote these words to Qing Ping tactfully. Then she said, don't think you are better than adults. Trust your second uncle and aunt, of course they will not ask Yan'er to be a nanny.
Just pretending that you don't understand anything is better than helping your friends on that occasion.
So, she said again: Just having good intentions is not enough, you also have to be kind and be able to do good things. Of course, doing good things doesn’t necessarily mean people will appreciate it. Just like this time, people didn’t appreciate it, but instead held grudges.
She wrote this truth to Qingping, thinking that it would be too annoying to write so many words about Qingping. So she changed her tone and said again: No one is the roundworm in someone's belly, and who knows her?
What would you think in your heart? If you had hidden away at that time, she might have resented you and felt that you were too indifferent to her. If you had not spoken to help, she would have resented you for just standing aside and watching the joke.
There is something wrong with what you did, but the unsatisfactory things in her family are not caused by you. It is not your fault that she has developed such a temper. Sometimes people tend to get angry when their lives are not going well.
She also gave an example, saying that her parents didn't give Qingyuan candy, and Qingyuan was so angry that she didn't dare to show her teeth to her parents, but she got angry at the old lady.
That's what Yan'er means, venting her unhappiness to the person who cares about her but she can handle it.
Finally, she made a suggestion, saying that you don't have to please her. You don't owe her anything, so why should you be responsible for coaxing her? Just don't talk to her and see what she will do.
After writing the letter, Qingning still frowned and sighed and said to her mother: "My sister was raised badly by my aunt..."
Lin Yutong almost sprayed it, "Why did it get bad?"
"My aunt is just too thoughtful in what she does. She is afraid that others will say something bad about her." Qingning pouted, "My sister followed my aunt's example. Whenever something happens, she first thinks about whether she did something wrong. Tell me, do it.
Why, you just want to please others. What can you do if you ask them to say something nice?"
Ignore me? I don’t like to talk to you yet!
Did I stop you from studying, or did I make you a nanny? Did I cause you to be given away by your biological parents? Or did I cause your adoptive parents to treat you badly?
What does it have to do with me after all?
In my home, I will be angered just because I witnessed your misfortune.
Why am I still thinking about being nice to you and how to apologize? What’s wrong!
Let's play around.
Lin Yutong watched her daughter complain a lot, then returned to the room with a glass of water.
She didn't quite understand what happened.
However, Jin Laoer's job of finding a nanny at home did not go very smoothly.
They can talk about anything. Didn’t the second child’s family find an old lady to help look after Qing An? And the fourth child’s family is now hiring a nanny. Many people said that these two daughters-in-law are embarrassing their mother-in-law.
.
How kind your two daughters-in-law are to you, right? Then you went to look after the children for the old man. So here you have to spend money to hire someone. Over at the fourth son’s house, they don’t hire nannies for the children, but they hire nannies for the little old man.
It’s too much to hire a nanny. Look, for an old lady like that, the two of them hire a nanny. Why don’t they pay attention to you, my own mother?
This must be heart-wrenching.
How does Aunt Jin feel?
It's no wonder. All the sons feel that they are partial, but how can this be justified?
How are you living with the boss? How good! It seems like life has gone back ten years, lacking salt, vinegar and soy sauce. The boss’s wife seems to have not seen it. What are you waiting for? You are not waiting for yourself.
Are you subsidizing it?
I can subsidize Qinghui, but how can I subsidize my boss?
With the little money I have freed up, I still have to buy something every month to see my third child.
That day, the old man's second child was put to sleep, and it was time to make lunch. There was still some noodles, and the grain harvested from the fields every year would not make us hungry, but we were just short of money.
The salt shaker was gone, only a little bit stuck to the salt shaker was left.
Pour vinegar into the salt shaker, rinse it, then pour it into a bowl. Light it with soy sauce, chop up two coriander stalks growing in the yard and sprinkle them in.
Roll out the noodles, remove them from the pot, and bring them with the noodle soup.
When the couple came back, their faces drooped, and they dipped the noodles into the water again. What does it taste like to eat noodles dipped in vinegar water? Don't look at the bright white and green vegetables in the basin, but the floating green vegetables are very interesting.
I know that I found old gray cabbage in the weeds at the door, pinched the young leaves and boiled them in a pot of water.
In the morning, it’s steamed buns and porridge with cold vegetables, and at noon, it’s noodles dipped in vinegar sauce, with no trace of oil left. Who wants to eat that?
Aunt Jin made a face, "Don't wait for Qingfeng, I must have followed Qingping back to Lao Er's place to eat..." The child is very smart. He knows where the food is good, so he goes there. At least the child doesn't suffer.
"Don't take it too hard, there won't even be any vinegar for the next meal."
Salt is the last bit, vinegar is the last bit. After eating, it’s up to you what to do.
The couple ate in silence. They didn’t stay at home even after dinner. They couldn’t stay at home. There was only one room. For the past six months, the couple had been living on the same bed with my mother. I wanted to say something.
If you want to speak privately, you have to go outside.
This year, watermelons were planted in the field, and a shed was built in the melon field. The couple took a break or did something else in the melon shed. After dinner, they came out under the guise of looking at the watermelons.
The melon shed is built with branches and a few wooden sticks. From the outside, it is only one person tall, but you have to bend your waist to get in. Inside, bricks are used to support the bed board, which is just as high as an adult's calf. In addition to a bed, there are also
There was only an aisle left for people to walk sideways. There were a few irregular protruding branches, with cloth bags and kettles hung on them. In the cloth bags were steamed buns, prepared for when you were hungry.
Li Xian'er lay down on the bed, stretched out her hands to block the light that came through the gaps in the leaves, and cursed, "A pound of coarse salt is only 18 cents, and a pound of vinegar is only 7 cents. She can't even part with this little money."
Give us subsidies and keep the money to buy yourself a coffin in the future."
Jin Mancheng thought this was unpleasant, so he said to her: "You too! It's only more than 20 cents, so you can quickly buy salt and vinegar. You can eat whatever you want every day. You are so hungry in the middle of the night, you
My milk supply can’t keep up. What are you doing to relieve your anger?”
"You think I don't want to?" Li Xian'er jumped up all of a sudden, "What am I here for? That shitty director of the farm is just a blood sucker. He can't make ends meet no matter how much money he has. It's easy to save some money and give him some tobacco and alcohol.
Buying anything, he just accepts everything and doesn't do anything." After that, he scolded Jin Mancheng again, "It's not you! You are a coward. I don't expect you to have the ability of the fourth child, nor do I expect you to have it.
Even if you have the ability of the second child, even if you have the ability of the third child? No matter it’s cheating or something like that, at least you won’t suffer poverty, right?”
Just talk about me! Why don’t you talk about you!
If you were half as capable as Yingzi, even half as capable as Ma Xiaoting.
No matter what the instigation is, at least life can go on.
Both of them felt unhappy.
Li Xianer sat up suddenly, "What do you think I would do as a nanny for the fourth family?"
Jin Mancheng was stunned, this matter... I can't say it's really possible.
Lin Yutong didn't know what the couple said privately. After finishing the correspondence class that day, as soon as he left the teaching building, he saw the couple at the door.
Both of them were wearing white short-sleeved shirts, black trousers, and black cloth shoes with mille-layer soles on their feet, which were brand new.
Jin Mancheng also held a half-worn black handbag in his hand, tucked under his arm.
He just ran here without saying hello. He couldn't find his home in the provincial capital, so he went straight to the school.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Why are you here, brother and sister-in-law? It would be nice to give you a call before you come."
Jin Mancheng laughed: "My second brother is looking for a nanny for you at home. He is yelling here and there, but he is just yelling blindly. Your sister-in-law heard this and knew that you must be in trouble here, so she urged me to come over. You see, you are too.
, just let me know if you have any difficulties, no matter how big or small it is. You can just put aside your own affairs. Your affairs with the fourth child are more important..."
Li Xianer laughed on the side: "There is a mother at home, and the children are taken care of. Whatever needs to be done, you just say something. Are you still worried about me taking care of the children?"
I'm really not worried.
I can't say this now. I took the people out and settled them in the school's guest house first. Then I took them down to the nearby dumpling restaurant and ordered two kilograms of dumplings, which were filled with large meat fillings. Lin Yutong didn't touch a few and ate both of them.
Yes, it still has some insufficiency meaning.
After finishing eating and drinking the original dumpling soup, Lin Yutong smiled: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, I'm actually looking for a nanny for someone else. She's a teacher in the school. He brought all my parents at home.
The old man is hemiplegic and can’t get angry at all. He has to be cared for by someone to eat, drink, and defecate. The old lady has some dementia and needs to be fed when eating and drinking. If my sister-in-law thinks it’s okay, then I’ll go talk to them...
What kind of nanny should I find here? You still don’t know my mother’s temper, most people can’t stand her.”
The little old lady is not just a little mysophobic, she is very mysophobic. She is also very good at housework, and half of the daughters-in-law can't even look at her.
This seems to make sense.
Li Xianer was already a little unhappy.
An old man is lying down, and an old lady cannot eat or drink by herself. How can she go to the toilet by herself?
It's like having to serve two immobile people, which is really not easy. She asked tentatively: "How much do you pay?"
It's wages.
"Ten yuan!" Lin Yutong gave a number and emphasized, "In charge of food and housing, we will give you ten days of annual leave a year. If you take good care of yourself, you will receive a red envelope at the end of the year..."
The couple thought to themselves, if they only give ten yuan a month, how much can they give in a red envelope? It would be great to give them an extra month's salary.
After a year, I only earn a little over 100. I have given up my family, business, children, and men. Coming all the way to do this is really not as much as I can earn by feeding two pigs at home. I feed the pigs when I have time.
There is no delay in doing things at home. But here, there are only ten days of vacation a year. If you are delayed on the road, you will actually have one week of free time.
Who can bear this?
I didn't want to, but I said it nicely, "As long as there's no trouble between you and the fourth child, I'll go home. There's a lot to do at home. No matter how much someone else pays, it's not worth the money I give to my family."
Throw it away, right?"
I want to ask Lin Yutong to express my gratitude.
Lin Yutong took the opportunity and took it, "I asked you to go all the way in vain..." I bought a can of milk powder and stuffed it in, "Take it back and give it to the child..."
I received them here for two days and personally put them on the bus home. Only then did I get over this matter.
Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, "But please don't ask my aunt to cook..."
During the Chinese New Year, the whole family got together for dinner, and the elders also cooked. The food was not bad, but it was very greasy, and the children couldn't get used to it. Anyway, they didn't use their oil, and the cooking was very good, and I finished the food.
, there was oil on the bottom of the plate. Anyway, we had a gathering, and Yingzi put in half a can of oil. Some people ate it deliciously, and wiped the oil off the bottom of the plate with the steamed buns and ate them. Some people couldn't get used to it, and put down their chopsticks after one or two bites.
The child is afraid of eating that food every day.
The little old lady glared at Lin Yutong: "I'm not old enough to be of any use. I don't need anyone to take care of me. Look at what you did..."
I actually had nothing to do with this matter. But who would have thought that my sister-in-law would recommend herself to a nanny.
I'm afraid the nanny thing will have to be shelved for the time being.
Let’s talk about it after we return to our hometown.
The eldest couple went back and spread the 'truth' about the fourth child's finding a nanny everywhere. The meaning is that the second child can't do anything. Look! They have deceived so many people.
Anyone with a discerning eye will understand what it means. Everyone knows who the second child is. The eldest brother and his wife went there, and they were obviously deceived by Tong and came back.
Even those who sincerely stir up trouble would not go to the boss and his wife to reveal the truth. After all, it would make the boss and his wife lose face. Only fools can do things that are not mutually exclusive.
This incident made the couple speechless, but made Aunt Jin angry.
When he came back, he jumped on his feet and scolded the old man and his wife, "...Is it easy outside for your brother to drag the whole family? What kind of shady idea did he have... He just wanted to take advantage, and didn't even think about it. You gave it to me."
What have they done? I shouldn’t care about these immoral things..."
He yelled and cursed, said nothing, packed up his things, and went back to live in the house next to the orchard.
Qinghui is not here either.
As the elder's family couldn't eat well, He Xiaowan called the child back. Isn't his brother a teacher in the middle school in the town? He found a classmate who taught in the primary school in the town. He left the relationship and called him underage.
Qinghui went to kindergarten. He was in a small class. Just follow along and learn. Being surrounded by teachers in the school would naturally make adults less worried.
He Xiaowan spends half of his time at his parents' house. They live in the same village anyway. His brother has a salary, and the three of them live and eat there without paying a penny.
I feel very comfortable. My family's income is pure income, and life is not as difficult as it seems.
It is said that Brother He is a conscientious person, and the third brother did not help him in vain. The third brother did not do many good things, but every good thing he did was rewarded.
Aunt Jin told Yingzi to get rid of the people who came here.
How could Yingzi quit her job properly? The old lady not only looked after the children, but also helped in the store when she had free time. She put the children aside in the yoyo car, and she sat on the side to take care of the children and put the dishes.
I took it off and washed it.
Even if the old lady wasn't so considerate, she wouldn't quit. After all, her mother-in-law is unreliable. Today she was annoyed with her eldest son, and then she came back. If things get better tomorrow, she can just walk away.
Now, where can I find someone else?
Isn't this a delay?
Yingzi had almost never done anything to push her mother-in-law back.
This was the most direct of the few times to just say no.
Aunt Jin couldn't believe it, "You kid, are you stupid! Ten yuan a month is just for nothing." I don't want your money, why don't you show me what you are doing? She feels a little uncomfortable, it seems that she is old
The second family is not happy that they went to babysit the children of their elders. This is just to show their own shame.
The more I think about it, the sadder I feel.
The sad result was that none of the sons said anything and ran away from home.
The problem is that not everyone can discover this kind of running away from home.
The old man thought she went to the second son's house. The second man thought she went back to the old man's house or the fifth son's house.
No one was there and no one thought to look for it.
Who would have thought?
Some people said that they saw your mother leaving in a bus that day, and when the news reached their ears, they thought she was secretly visiting the third child again.
The boss said bad things about her mother-in-law more than once outside, "The eggs at home are eaten so fast, where can they go? My mother-in-law hid them and secretly brought them to her third son..."
Is there such a thing that no one can tell clearly? Anyway, an old lady who has never been out of the house is very capable if she can go to the prison in a car alone.
We went back and forth so many times, but nothing went wrong, and no one took it too seriously. The second child also said, "You said it was the same for mom. She didn't say a word when she left. I didn't give the third child the clothes."
Are you ready? It would be great to take it with you..."
That's right. Yingzi thinks so too.
None of them knew, and it was even less possible for Lin Yutong and Fourth Master to know.
When Lin Yutong was called over by the Student Affairs Office, saying that the police station had called, and there was a lost old lady in their office, and she was called over to pick her up, she realized that her mother-in-law had come to the provincial capital, and she didn't know the way and got lost.
Fortunately, I still know that if I have any difficulties, I can go to the people's police.
Lin Yutong borrowed the phone number from the student office and called Fourth Master's teacher's office and told him the matter. Neither of them dared to delay, so they each set off from their own schools and hurried to the police station over there.
That's in the eastern suburbs, and I and Fourth Master are in the southern suburbs. In the past, we had to go around half of the city. It's definitely not practical to ride a bicycle. There are very few taxis. We might as well take the bus.
It was hot in the summer, and the bus was crowded. Those who had no seats had to stand for more than half an hour holding on to the chairs before they got to their place.
After getting off the bus, we walked half a stop before we arrived at the place.
When I entered, my mother-in-law was sitting on the steps in front of the police station office. The color of her clothes was no longer visible. Her hair was wet with sweat and greasy on her head and face. She was holding a police card in her hand.
Broken cattail leaf fan, I picked it up from some garbage dump, it shakes just right.
"Mom!" Lin Yutong hurried over, "Why didn't you ask your second brother to call us and tell us that he's coming... Look..."
"What's wrong with me?" Aunt Jin stood up and patted the dirt behind her buttocks with a broken cattail leaf fan. "What's wrong with me?" After saying that, she went down the steps and took out two broken snakeskin bags from the corners.
Take it and leave.
Is this still good?
"If you don't know, I would think you are a scavenger." Lin Yutong pointed to the broken thing in her hand, "Throw it away. Let's go home..."
You should also tell the people at the police station.
While they were talking, the fourth master came in a hurry, frowned and called "Mom", then signaled to Lin Yutong, and went inside to go through the relevant procedures himself.
Then the policeman was still worried and came out again to ask Aunt Jin: "Auntie, are these your son and daughter-in-law?"
Aunt Jin smiled quickly: "Eldest nephew, yes, this is my son and daughter-in-law."
Then the policeman taught the fourth master a lesson: "We, as children, have an obligation to support our parents..."
"I told you that it's not my son's fault..." Aunt Jin said quickly, "I did it myself. Okay, nephew, I know you mean well, so let's leave now..." After saying that, she pulled Lin Yutong and started
Walk.
On my way back, I caught a taxi and got home smoothly.
Aunt Jin was surprised, "Such a big house?"
There's no way to explain this.
No explanation was given.
Lin Yutong went to the bathroom to put some water in: "Mom, go wash up."
Being able to take a bath so comfortably at home is something I can't even imagine, and it makes me live a better life.
Speaking of which, the city is better.
Lin Yutong found two clothes and changed them for her mother-in-law. Then she went into the kitchen and saw the little old lady taking the noodles out of the cold water. She knew she was making cold noodles, "I'll do it!" She hurried over and took over.
Already.
The little old lady asked in a low voice: "Why are you here like this? Are you angry at home?"
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be.
The Fourth Master bought two watermelons from outside, brought them to the kitchen, and put them in the sink to soak in water.
The little old lady stopped talking. No matter how good she was as a mother, she couldn't do such a stupid thing by talking about someone else's mother in front of her son.
When Aunt Jin came out from the wash, she saw her son, daughter-in-law, and the little old lady sitting in a row. On the table were a bowl of mixed noodles, two plates of vegetables, one plate of stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts, and one plate of cold fried shredded tofu.
There was also a plate of thinly sliced watermelon, which was watery and refreshing.
She smiled sheepishly at the little old lady at first: "Old aunt, I told you to watch a joke."
We are all acquaintances and have lived in the same alley for half our lives. We have seen all kinds of embarrassments, but there is really nothing embarrassing about them.
The little old lady said: "Hurry up and eat. Why are you so polite? This is your own home, so why are you so polite?"
When a mother lives with her son, it works both horizontally and vertically.
Aunt Jin felt at ease in an instant. She sat down and finished the noodles in a few strokes. She didn't move the food very much, "Keep it for the kids... By the way... When will Qingning get out of school..."
This conflicts with everyone's living habits again, doesn't it?
The family here knows their own business, and their money is really enough to eat and drink, so there really is no need to be so frugal.
But for Aunt Jin, if there are no guests and nothing to do, what kind of food will she eat?
Garlic sprouts are a rare dish, and the meat is also fried. Forget about tofu, the homemade version is fried in oil, which costs a lot of money.
The food we had when we stayed at Lao Er's house was not bad, but that was not because there was a small restaurant. If you skipped a bite from the portion given to the guests, you wouldn't be able to eat all the food you wanted, so it didn't matter if you ate better.
The old five are used to instigating, and they always save money when they can.
I really don’t have any, but I thought Huo Huo would be able to do it, but it’s a pity that there is nothing to do with Huo Huo. I can’t even afford salt and vinegar.
When she suddenly saw the life of the fourth child, she subconsciously felt that they were treating her as a guest. Otherwise, why would she be doing both meat and vegetables? She left good things to her children, firstly, out of sincerity
, and secondly, I am not an outsider, so why should I see outsiders like this?
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master are both old men, so they don't understand the meaning of this statement.
If you insist on eating, I'm afraid you should think too much.
So how did the food come up and how did she take it down? She ate all the watermelon without any hesitation.
In her opinion, watermelons are not valuable. Who in the family does not grow some in the fields or ridges? It is not a rare thing.
Then this is really wrong.
This is an early-ripening watermelon, which is hard to buy in provincial capitals now. This thing is worth the price of today’s meal.
After eating, he raised the back of his hand to wipe his mouth. Then he said: "I'm not ready to leave..."
Um?
This sentence frightened Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, "What's wrong?"
It’s not that I don’t want to take care of her, it’s just that she’s so fierce, so she has to have her roots. Besides, after I finish this semester, I have to go back to my original unit for my internship. Even if I don’t go back to the town, I still have to be in the county. But you said
What does it mean if you are here but not leaving?
How can this be arranged?
Aunt Jin glared: "I don't want you to raise me."
We didn't say we wouldn't support you.
The Fourth Master frowned: "Do my second brother and the others know if you come out?"
I don’t know.
What's the point of knowing or not knowing? Anyone can leave her, right?
Aunt Jin skipped the question and did not answer. Instead, she scolded the Fourth Master: "Don't do it to me, mother-in-law." After saying that, she stood up and sat down next to the little old lady. She said with a bit of excitement: "Auntie, I will save you this time.
I didn’t come to the city in vain! I didn’t get lost in vain this time.”
What does it mean?
The little old lady asked tentatively: "Get rich?"
"There's a way to get rich." Aunt Jin slapped her thigh, "I've actually been here for a week."
ah?
Oh my gosh! How has this week been?
Before her son and daughter-in-law could ask, she said, "When I got out of the car, there was a huge crowd of people. There were people everywhere. I thought to myself, just follow the flow of people, but there were people everywhere. I couldn't tell them apart at all. This is what I meant.
I got lost here."
"I have money with me, sewn in my pants. I have travel expenses and more than one yuan in change outside..."
Lin Yutong understands that this is what country people do when they go out. To guard against thieves is to leave a way out for themselves. If you carry money with you to defend yourself, you can survive at any time.
"But most of this money is spent in the provincial capital. It's not enough to spend. Food costs money, drink costs money, and a trip to the toilet costs money. Even if you eat, why do you have to spend money to pee?"
"I just held it in. I couldn't believe it when I said that I still couldn't find a place to pee."
In the past, it was in the fields. It was convenient to carry people anywhere. So when I went to the city, I really couldn't bear to pay five cents for a pee.
"I thought to myself, I just walked to a place with few people, and I still didn't believe that I couldn't find it. But I kept walking for more than two hours..."
I soaked and held my urine for two hours, just to save five cents. The old lady was so old and her kidneys were still so good.
"When I got to a place where there were really few people... I saw that we were all outside the city, and I could still see the crop fields in the distance..." Aunt Jin laughed out loud, "I thought to myself, find a place to pee, just
I found a deserted yard and went in. As soon as I entered, I found that it was not deserted at all. It was a place where the rag collector lived. The old couple had a teenage grandson, and the yard was full of rags. I borrowed someone else's toilet to use it.
When I came out to ask someone about a toilet, I saw that the old man had his hands full. He put a piece of rags and old newspapers and scraps of paper... I also said how much money can be made by sorting this, so
Carefully, I peeked through the crack in the door... My dear, everyone has a big color TV and a washing machine. Where do you think you got the money? If you say that picking up rags doesn't make money, you won't even believe it.
But no matter how valuable it is, you still need to know where people will take it and sell it. I just pretended to be pitiful and said that I couldn’t find my son’s home. I helped them and didn’t eat their food. They just asked me to have a place to stay temporarily.
There were some scraps that couldn’t be exposed to the rain, and there was a shabby shed, so I said just ask me to rest here at night... Then I stayed there, and the next day it was dark, and the couple took the car out, and I said
I asked for help, so I went over to pull the cart and found the place where they sold scraps... I said I would look for my son's house. If I found him, I wouldn't go back at night. If he couldn't find me, I would go there at night... That's it, I just
I went to pick up waste. They picked it up and sold it the next day. I sold it on the same day after picking it up, and then I could spend the night in a bridge. Do you know how much you can earn in a day?" Aunt Jin held out three fingers, "
On the first day, I earned three yuan and eighteen cents, and on the second day, I earned two yuan and eighty-nine cents... Calculated over a few days, I can earn an average of three yuan a day..." Three yuan a day, thirty days is ninety
piece.
You can earn much more than those who earn wages.
It’s more cost-effective than growing crops. It’s just a slow walk around the streets looking for things.
As he said that, he said with some pity: "I didn't want to come to you so soon. It was the policeman who was my nephew. He saw me living under the bridge every day, so he came up to me and wanted to send me home at any cost. Isn't that right?
Are you hungry after finding a solution?"
So, your determination to pick up scraps is very firm!
