When the two sisters came back, one of them held a freshly braised pig's trotter and gnawed it, and then talked about school. Qingning also talked about what she had just seen at Liu Yaner's house. Yingzi was startled and said, "You can't talk nonsense about this. There are some
People can really open their eyes."
Qingning wrinkled her nose at her aunt, "Why do you still believe this..."
Yingzi patted Qingning: "Young children, don't think that just two days of school is a big deal. How many have you seen?"
Then they talked about the incident when their biological uncle was having a baby and getting married. "Do you think your uncle is the kind of person who does nonsense? Is he talking nonsense and pretending to be a ghost? No!"
Then how do you explain it?"
Can't explain it.
Her aunt said so, and there were more stories in her second uncle's belly.
He said that in those years when he was driving a tractor to pull things to the village, he saw groups of people in white clothes from far away in the middle of the night. "I also said that whose family was having a funeral in the middle of the night. As a result, they kept honking the horn."
, the people in front didn’t move either. I got out of the car and thought I’d go over and take a look, but when I got off the car, they were all gone again. What about this group of people, they all left just as soon as they said they were leaving? No way! I got in the car again, but it turned out that the people in front of me were still there.
The crowd of people in white clothes made me murmur in my heart, and I didn’t dare to hesitate. I got out of the car and pulled hay to get some dead branches, and lit a fire on the road in front of the car. I didn’t dare to leave.
I lit a cigarette and waited in the car. By four or five o'clock in the morning, I felt very sleepy. I felt like I just squinted for a while. When I woke up, the fire was out and the road was clean. I didn't even think about it.
I dared to move, lit a fire again, and waited for daybreak. I waited until there were people on the road before I dared to walk. As a result, I walked more than a hundred meters and saw a large cemetery. It has been twenty years since I said this.
Dare to take that road..."
The hairs on Qingning's spine stood up as she said this. She originally thought about staying in her house next door at night, but she didn't dare anymore.
Yingzi said to the second child: "Stop talking, the child is timid."
Just as he was talking, Han Cai'er came.
The countryside is no different from the city. When guests come, they knock on the door and so on.
In broad daylight, the door of every household in rural areas is open. If a house closes its door, it is almost impossible to knock on the door if there is no important matter. It must be because the family is inconvenient. Under normal circumstances, during the daytime, the door is closed.
It was open. Neighbors came and went, but no one was on guard.
So as soon as the door curtain was lifted, Han Cai'er came in directly.
Yingzi said: "There are pig's trotters, please try some?"
You're welcome, I just put a piece on the plate and ate it.
The two older ones held the whole thing and were chewing it. Qing Anya hadn't changed his toys yet, so it was inconvenient to hold the whole thing and eat it. So he cut it into small pieces and put it on the plate for convenience.
Han Cai'er took a hoof tip and stuffed it into her mouth, said "It tastes good", and then started to talk about Yan'er's strangeness, "...You can tell at a glance that this is a kid in my belly... I am really a kid..."
Ying Zixin said, no wonder Qingning thinks there is something fishy. Who doesn't know that you have a boy in your belly? If it was a girl, you wouldn't have given birth.
There had just been trouble with the Liu family, so she didn't want to inquire too deeply, so she just smiled and listened to what she said.
Han Cai'er held the tip of her hoof in her mouth and was frothing at the mouth. Qing Ning silently took two steps back and sat on a small bench to listen to what Han Cai'er was saying.
"...Many people have come..."
I heard it, it's a mess outside.
"... said that the old Li family's sheep must go east, and that the Wang family must marry a second daughter-in-law..."
Yingzi's face changed. The Li family's sheep must have been found in the east. A few young men stole them in the middle of the night and slaughtered them in the east. They even came over to ask her if she wanted mutton. The Li family was so wicked that they often took their sheep out to gnaw.
Many people knew who stole the sheep from other people's crops and secretly bought the mutton, but no one told them. This matter was a secret to some people, of course, including Lao Li.
People in the family, like Han Cai'er, who can't keep secrets, are among those who don't know.
There is also the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, which is really hard to describe.
The son of the Wang family is a coward, and his daughter-in-law spends all day running around in the city. She doesn't know anything about it and many people in the village don't know anything about it. The son of the Wang family is a bastard and dare not speak, but Lao Wang and his wife are not vegetarians. It's just...
The two of them are not often in the village, and they have a vegetable shop in the county town to sell vegetables. Now that Yan'er has made things clear, someone must come to Lao Wang and his wife to talk about this and that. What does it mean to marry a second wife?
They only have one son. If they marry a second daughter-in-law, either the daughter-in-law will die halfway, or she will not be able to make it through for some reason. Look, the couple has decided to divorce.
It may be true that other people have opened their eyes, but Yan'er is afraid that it is not very true.
This kid is thoughtful. He may have heard people gossiping and wrote down these words, and now he is using them to defraud money.
With this thought in my mind, I am no longer afraid.
You should keep a respectful distance from ghosts and ghosts, but there is really nothing to be afraid of when people make trouble with monsters.
She only listens to it, and whoever wants to believe it will believe it.
People like Yingzi who know a little bit about these things will definitely not believe it. People like Han Caier who don't know anything will be fooled.
Yingzi knew that this matter was deceiving people, but it was hard to tell people openly. However, those who were deceived began to spread it everywhere.
This half-believed thing spreads the fastest.
Before evening, many people came to the door with snacks, cigarettes and wine, asking to see.
Especially for pregnant women, the hospital won't show them, and they have to give red envelopes to acquaintances through connections. If the amount is small, they are afraid that they won't take a good look at it. If they get the wrong woman or woman, they come to see Yan'er. Two or three yuan a piece.
Pack some snacks, or give the little girl three or two yuan, give it a try.
Lonicera was dubious about this, so someone said: "There really is such a person. With a destiny of five disadvantages and three shortcomings, your Yan'er is not wanted by your parents..."
In the Liu family, during the years when the child was breastfed by him, the child's life was not bad. But in the two years since he was paralyzed on the kang, Yan'er's life has become increasingly difficult.
"Look at the situation in your family..." The man whispered: "Both children are somewhat..." disabled, "Yan'er's life is hard..."
Lonicera's heart skipped a beat, yes!
Let’s just say, the babies who were given out were all fine, even those who were born less than a month after being induced, and they were all healthy and sound. How come the babies that were left behind all had problems?
This is all retribution coming to your family.
It was her two children who blocked the disaster for her.
When there was no one left at home, Liandong told Yan'er: "...Everything must have a cause and effect. If someone protects you from disaster, you have to repay them..."
Yan'er nodded like a fool: "Yes! If I don't treat my younger brothers and sisters well, I will die in misfortune."
She doesn't like Yan'er in her heart, but I have to say that this statement makes her feel at ease.
Even if she has no conscience, she doesn't dare to be unkind to her children. She has to repay the consequences.
Yan'er said: "Mom, I've thought about it. I won't live on campus anymore. I'll walk back and forth in the morning and evening... I can make some money at home at night to look after people."
That's it.
A trip to the county town takes more than an hour, so walk!
So you get up before five o'clock in the morning, and after school is over at six o'clock in the evening, it takes more than eight o'clock to get home. After autumn, the days are getting shorter and shorter, and it will be completely dark at six o'clock. It is night in the morning and evening
On the way.
Lonicera said: "Okay!"
In fact, if Yaner wants to ride a bicycle, the distance can be half faster by riding a bicycle.
But there is only one bicycle at home, and it is sometimes used when going to the fields. It will definitely not be given to her.
After Qing Ning returned home, she told her parents about these things: "Liu Yan'er...I'm a little scared...too much minded..."
It’s all forced!
Lin Yutong said: "Tell Qingping that you will have less contact with that child in the future." His thoughts were a bit biased.
Qingning nodded and shrank her neck, "Speaking of which, I feel that Yan'er's emotional intelligence is definitely high..."
Yes! No one has taught me. I just rely on my own speculation. Observe words and emotions, figure out people's hearts, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Look, this kid is considered a number one person.
Qingning also reminded that Lonicera might come to apologize on Monday.
Lin Yutong shook his head. The two families had just finished fighting. Why should they apologize? Absolutely not.
As expected, Liandong only went to school, nodded and agreed to whatever the teacher said, then came out of the teacher's office and went home directly.
Mr. Qingping looked at Liu Yan'er from time to time, and who knew he was really acting like a master, and stopped talking to Gao Jie. He didn't talk much to anyone in the class.
I was always the last to arrive at school and the first to leave after school. I never went to the cafeteria to eat at noon. In middle school, I took a steamed bun and ate it with pickles and that was it.
Sometimes I would bring half-filled bottles of vegetables such as cold onions in cans and stuff them into my desk pocket. I would eat them with steamed buns at noon. When onions are in a certain season, they are very cheap. You can buy several for a dime.
Jin. There is no other dish at home, but this kind of dish can be stored the most. But this dish tastes great when eaten cold. The can bottle is not a lunch box, and there is no flavor when it is covered. This kind of can bottle is opened
Most of the back lids were not tightly closed, and some had no lids at all. The smell came out even before eating. It was everywhere in the classroom. When I ate again at noon, the smell was everywhere.
Liu Yan'er was very calm, but the feelings of the students around her were not very good. Some students felt that they could just tolerate it. Their own house is a place with a bigger butt. When the dishes were placed on the table, wasn't the smell all over the room?
But some can't stand it.
Especially Gao Jie, she couldn't bear it even more.
"Why don't you put it on the window sill outside the classroom." Gao Jie pinched her nose, maybe she was a bit of a germaphobe and almost cried, "No one will eat your food, so what can you do if you put it outside the window?"
The two of them were sitting by the window, and Liu Yan'er was still in the back. When she stood up, she could reach out her hands from the window.
Gao Jie said this, and everyone thought it was reasonable. If you put it on the windowsill outside and take it in as soon as you reach out, why do you have to make the whole classroom smell like it?
Liu Yan'er had a droopy face, ignoring everyone's words and just doing her homework.
Gao Jie couldn't bear it anymore and went to the class teacher with just one request: "Change seats!"
Can it be replaced?
The teacher also came out of difficult times. What happened to the smell of food? At that time, I couldn’t smell the food even if I wanted to.
I didn't do anything, but the teacher taught me: Don't be squeamish and learn to be considerate.
Gao Jie really cried when she came out.
Go to the high school to find Yan Yan: "Go and tell our teacher..."
"Why should I go?" Yan Yan was confused, "I'm not your parent..."
"But Uncle Yan has face..." Gao Jie held Yan Yan's arm and refused to let go, "Hurry up..."
People coming in and out of the classroom were all cheering: "Ouch! Our little Strictly has a younger sister chasing after us!"
Strictly the same age as Qingning. Although he is handsome, has good grades, and has a good background, no one is chasing him. It’s not that everyone is blind, it’s mainly because of his age. Junior high school students look immature compared to high school students.
That's a lot. Who would think of falling in love with a little brother?
In Qingning's desk pocket, there would be things like fruit and breakfast given by others, but strictly speaking, there would be none.
It's normal for a big brother to fall in love with a little sister. It's really rare to see a big sister fall in love with a little brother.
Therefore, when they saw that it was an elementary school girl from the junior high school who was holding Yan Yan's hand, everyone started to boo.
"Strictly, take your sister with you."
Go, go, go! Go!
I don’t know what to make fun of?!
He turned his head and looked at Qing Ning carefully. Qing Ning also looked up at him, then lowered her head and continued reading.
It’s over!
Qingning is angry.
Strictly tore Gao Jie's hand apart: "What do I have to do with you? Why are you so confident in using my father's face? Why don't you use your father's face? Stop making trouble and go back quickly. I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet.
.”
He quickly hid in the men's room.
Qing Ning smiled, and her deskmate gave Qing Ning a slight elbow slap, "Did the little bamboo horse run away?"
Privately, I don't want anyone to make fun of the youngest couple in the class. They are as clingy as conjoined twins, which looks very funny.
At this moment, a "third party" suddenly appeared, and many people secretly looked at Qing Ning.
Qing Ning pointed outside: "What little sweethearts are you? They are also childhood sweethearts."
Gao Jie was so angry at the door of the classroom that she turned around to look at Qing Ning sitting inside. She felt that she was completely humiliated. If my father's face is so good, why should I beg you?
When Lin Yutong came home, Qingyuan pointed to the balcony. She didn't know what it meant. She went to the balcony and took a look. Qingning and Yan Yan were doing homework on the balcony, but the atmosphere was obviously wrong.
She turned her face and asked Qingyuan in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Qingyuan shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
If you don’t know, just don’t know and let them be.
After returning to the living room, he saw Qingyuan watching the TV and asked him: "Have you finished your homework?"
Qingyuan took the remote control and changed the channel: "Yeah! It's over." He added, "We won't have class until nine tomorrow morning, so don't call me in the morning."
"Why are you so late?" Why didn't I know what was going on at school?
Qingyuan looked at his mother: "If the university isn't in session, why are we asking our school teachers to help? Mom, you don't know?"
I really forgot.
The university starts from September 12th to 14th, which is quite late.
Lin Yutong slapped his head and really forgot about this matter.
Many students took the notice and almost cried when they looked at the address on it. What kind of school is this? Why has a branch branch been established in a small county? Many children are not willing to go to it. If it weren't for the diploma they were given, they wouldn't be able to attend.
It will be adulterated, really, I won’t do it!
There are many children from big cities who were admitted to agricultural universities due to various reasons such as deployment, and there is a gap in their hearts. But what is the result? Why should they go to a branch school?
I no longer look forward to the next four years of college life.
But when I bought the tickets, I realized that it didn’t seem to be particularly remote.
why?
Because it is possible whether you travel by rail, highway, or even plane. There are school buses to pick you up at bus stations, train stations, and airports.
As soon as they entered the development zone, they couldn't help but squeeze to the open car windows and look out.
OMG!
There are small bridges and flowing water, boats passing by, people flowing in a steady stream, tall buildings on both sides, and various signboards giving it a modern urban feel.
Those who came to pick up the students included teachers from the university and people drawn from various units who acted as temporary commentators on the buildings and scenery they saw along the way.
When the car turned the corner and entered the bridge leading to the university, the car suddenly burst into cheers.
This was the first group of students to arrive. It was not yet eight o'clock when they arrived, when the fog was steaming on the lake. The island was hidden in the mist, hazy like a mirage, and the sun shined through the clouds, and everything seemed to be there.
The scenery is covered with colorful glow.
The students in the entire car suddenly cheered.
Some even kept shouting: "Stop! Stop!"
The car slowly stopped, and the students ran out of the car one by one, shouting wildly at the lake. Someone shouted: "My university, I'm here!" Then they rushed towards the school gate.
.
Following closely, there was a group of people rushing towards the school gate.
Lin Yutong accompanied the teacher on the boat, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry now. I really like it here."
"Loving school is also a kind of motivation." Qin Guo looked at the students rushing towards the school with a smile in his eyes.
Because of the arrival of college students, the entire development zone seems to have been injected with vitality.
At the same time, the county began to actively prepare for the removal of the county and the promotion of the city.
There are many rigid indicators. For example: for counties with a total population of more than 500,000, the non-agricultural population of the town where the county people's government is located is generally more than 120,000, and the annual gross national product is more than 400 million yuan... If these standards are met,
You can apply to establish a city or remove a county.
The fourth master was drawn to the preparatory team and served as the deputy team leader, responsible for daily affairs.
This not only requires preparation, but also requires going up to the capital for activities. This has to be approved by the State Council.
Nowadays, the county's non-agricultural population has basically met the requirements due to the demolition of development zones. The gross national product is also driven by the development zones. This year's momentum is that the GDP of a development zone must be the county's.
More than twice as much.
But in addition to these, there are many aspects such as municipal construction that need to be kept up with. Now that preparations are underway, it will only take one or two years to get approval, which will be good.
The fourth master didn't seem to be in a hurry, he was taking his time, and he didn't work overtime when he came back. He mostly spent time studying with his two children.
It rained a lot this year. From late September to October, it rained non-stop.
It’s another disaster year.
Those who grow cotton on the Yellow River beach are in the season when cotton is in bloom. In such weather, the cotton collected will be wet and will become moldy if it cannot be dried. There are also apples, don’t think there is no loss in these things. It’s the same! When it’s ripe, it will bear fruit.
When cold water was poured on them, they all cracked. As long as they crack a little, they are not considered genuine fruits. They are not durable and cannot be stored. They can only be regarded as second-hand fruits sent to juice factories. The price is not on the same level.
The second brother came to the house to talk to the fourth master about the orchard, and he did some calculations. Most people could not make ends meet this year. The investment in the land was huge, but in the end the return was really discounted.
Then he said something about the boss: "I contracted thirty acres of cotton to grow, and I lost the money."
In fact, the two children have been eating at their house, and the couple has been staying at the farm, but it is of no use. Not to mention reducing production, the cotton cannot be upgraded.
On September 1st this year, two children were standing in front of the hotel early in the morning with their schoolbags on their backs.
Yingzi asked what was wrong, but the two children said that they had no tuition fees and could not register. It was Yingzi who gave the money, so the children could go to school anyway.
The second child also took the opportunity to say to Qing Ning and Qing Yuan: "Study hard and never become a farmer. People who rely on the sky for food have to work hard for a year and harvest as God says..."
So I still have to do a side job.
Qingning went to the kitchen and told her mother, "At least my aunt's restaurant is making money every day."
People say that a rich family is worth less than a penny earned every day, and this is what they mean.
If you use your own shop for catering, you will definitely not be compensated.
Lin Yutong sighed and said, "Someone has to farm the land."
While talking, Mrs. Zhang cut the vegetables, and Lin Yutong started frying them. She said to Qingning: "I called your third uncle and asked him to come over for dinner. He told me that your second uncle was here."
The third child came very quickly, in less than ten minutes.
When I came here, I carried a box of kiwi fruits. These are not common in the local area and were obtained from other counties.
"That kid Xu Qiang is very thoughtful." Lao San said while wiping his hands. "That kid can also endure hardships. He goes on short trips with the driver on weekends and brings some goods with him when he comes back. He is the one who got this thing back." He also called Qingning, "
I heard from Uncle Xu that there was something soft inside, so you picked it out and threw it away..."
A question mark appeared on Qingning's forehead: "Why did you throw it away after it was so easy to let it go?"
Um?
The third child was also stuck, "How easy is it to soften it? Aren't you going to eat something hard?"
Who said that?!
Qingyuan chuckled: "My Uncle Xu threw away all the soft things?"
"Yeah!" The third child also laughed, "Those that are soft are bad. He also specifically told me not to dislike the ones that he didn't come to pick. He also said that the taste of this thing is really bad, but it can be eaten.
I just ate it and threw it away if I couldn't eat it. I was so scared that I didn't dare to ask Qingjuan to taste it. I thought you two were older and I couldn't bear the taste..."
It really spoils things.
What a pity!
This is really a joke.
The third child sat at the dining table with three or two plates of cold dishes and a few bottles of beer, all produced by the beverage factory itself, and they tasted pretty good.
The second child asked the third child about his business: "It won't be affected?"
"It's mainly wholesale, and we ship goods from other provinces. The impact is not big." Lao San sipped his wine, "This business is easy to do now, the price can be slightly lower, and the labor cost is lower than in the south."
The second child didn't know much about business, so he asked the third child about his personal affairs: "Find a decent woman and live a good life..."
It's hard to say that there are no women around the third child.
He Xiaowan said yes, but the third child never defended himself, so no one knew whether it was yes or no.
They all think that the third child should have a divorce. Regardless of whether He Xiaowan admits it or not, they are all divorced. He is rich, young, and only has a little girl by his side. Seriously, even if he finds a young girl with this condition,
Found it.
But I never heard the third child say anything about getting married. He never mentioned it.
The second child asked, and the third child said: "Forget it! Some of the people who follow me now are after me as a person, not my money. I can't do it!"
What he said is true. Let other women spend the money, so it would be better to keep it for the children.
But where are you at at this age?
Lin Yutong said: "You two don't know each other, my third sister-in-law will still have to blame you in the future..."
"Don't wait for the future. You are blaming me now." The third child was also full of bitterness.
I have made trouble several times before. I went to the store to make a fuss, and I couldn't do it without showing up. What do you mean by asking yourself? Can you live this life? If you can, just live it. If you can't, don't waste her.
"I just said, if there's something good, just go for it. If you think the child is a burden, you just leave it to me." The third child smiled bitterly, "I feel bad in my heart, but I always think that at least the child is freed."
It's Qinghui.
If she really took that step, Qinghui would definitely not be able to take her away. If she threw it to him, he would be able to take over.
The problem is, if you don't get married here, He Xiaowan still feels that you two are not separated and has to spend time with you.
It became a dead end.
There was no way to talk about this matter. To skip this topic, Fourth Master reminded the two of them, "Don't save money in your hands. While the money is still valuable, whether it is investing or doing other things, don't leave it in the bank."
…”
The second child and the third child don’t understand the word inflation, but they understand that money is worthless.
Anyway, everything has gone up in price.
The third person in business is the most astute. The ex-factory price goes up every time. How could he not notice it?
The second child sighed: "Life is already difficult, but money is not worth much anymore."
The farmers found it difficult, and the third child said: "I have never seen those laid-off workers, and their lives are not as easy as ours."
Just two days after he was laid off, the boss and his wife came. This time the couple was smart and said they wanted to ask Lin Yutong where they could buy a shop?
This is really...
Lin Yutong can't ask people if they have money, but can only ask politely: "How much do you plan to spend on it?" I will find a suitable shop for you based on the price you can afford.
Li Xianer laughed: "We bought out our seniority. Your eldest brother and I were given five thousand yuan."
Buy out seniority?!
That is to say, after receiving this money, they will have nothing to do with the unit from now on.
Lin Yutong frowned slightly, five thousand yuan? It's really not that much nowadays.
She told them about the price increase, "A pound of rice has increased by several cents, let alone the shop. My second brother and third brother's shop was the earliest project in the development zone to be put into construction. At that time,
The surrounding area was still rural. It was also pre-sold. The commercial street at that time was still wasteland. So it was cheap at that time. You could buy two shops for 5,000 yuan. But now? The development zone has been completed and gradually matured. The county government
They have all been relocated and become the center of the county. These five thousand are even in a remote place, and now they can't even buy a shop."
Can't buy it in any store?
The couple's faces looked ugly, "Did it rise so quickly?"
Lin Yutong nodded: "Either you consider buying a stall in a shopping mall, which is not big enough to hold two counters. Or, you can buy a yard in the center of the town, use it as a shop in front, and build a house in the back." Calculated this way,
The money is enough.
Jin Mancheng said: "If it really doesn't work, you can buy a house. Come live in the county town and find a job..."
This is also an idea.
"A two-bedroom apartment... now costs more than 10,000, and 5,000 is less than half of it. You can also go to the bank to get a loan, which means you can get a monthly payment of 100 or 200 per month." Lin Yutong stood up, "How about we go and have a look? It is not under development.
If you live in a different district, the houses are cheaper. For example, you can definitely buy some old family homes for three to five thousand."
It took Lin Yutong most of the day to go around, but the couple decided not to buy anything.
After looking at the houses in the development zone and then looking at the houses in the old city, I feel that it is not worthwhile to spend money on buying an old house. I want to buy a good one, but I am mainly afraid that I will not be able to afford one or two hundred per month. There is no stable one.
Whoever dares to say what the income is will definitely be able to pay it back.
Then he angrily said, "I won't buy it! We will live in the same place in Taiping Town. We will build a house when we get back! We will definitely build a house."
He is really resolute and resolute. He built a half-story house before, but now he is building the main house.
Lin Yutong went back and told the fourth master about this, and the fourth master said: "Maybe it is destiny to be rich or poor in this life."
The idea Tongtong gave is really a good idea. What’s wrong with buying a stall? Nowadays, a counter in this shopping mall sells women’s hairbands and rubber bands, which makes a lot of money. Or you can really buy a yard in the center of the town and do something casually in front of it.
Business, people living in the backyard, life has improved. Isn’t Yingzi’s example there?
I don’t want to listen! I don’t want to be tired at all. I just want to use the money to buy a shop and live on the rent of the shop.
But his luck was unlucky. The price had just increased and he had just made enough money.
Nowadays, we are rushing to build houses at a time of inflation. The direct result of the real estate boom is that the prices of land and building materials have increased the most.
In the past, a house could be built with only one or two thousand, but after I actually bought tiles and hired labor, and spent it item by item, I realized that it seemed that I was a little nervous to build a house with only five thousand.
The second child said to the boss: I don’t know how you calculated this account? The 5,000 yuan is enough to buy an old yard to live in. The house is not new, but the location is good. It is not necessary to spend 5,000 yuan to build a new house next to the cemetery.
, the house is new, but besides living in it, what else can you do?
Yingzi educated Qingping and said: "If you don't have enough food and clothing, you won't be poor forever. Your uncle and your uncle are like this..."
Qingping said this to Qingning again, "...I was not convinced at first, but it turned out that what the uncle did was really confusing. The gift money for building the beams of the house was probably one or two thousand. But the uncle went to buy one.
I spent more than a thousand dollars on a second-hand motorcycle. Anyway, there isn’t much left. I don’t have much income in the winter, and after another new year, the money will be gone. My dad was so angry that he said he had two thousand or two thousand dollars, and in the spring of next year,
Just paint the house.”
Qing Ning knows about building houses in rural areas. Painting is easy. Just remove the ceiling, whitewash the walls, then paint the doors and windows and put on the glass. If possible, the ground should be made of cement, if not, it can be paved with bricks.
The ground outside was also neat and clean. Including the curtains, it cost a thousand dollars.
But there is nothing left of that motorcycle other than riding it and looking at its majesty. If you want to sell this thing after buying it, you have to give a discount again.
As the two sisters talked, the snow outside became heavier and heavier.
Lin Yutong didn't ask Qingping to go back to live. He was worried about the journey, so he asked Qingping to stay here temporarily.
She didn't resist staying for a night or two occasionally.
Qingning looked outside and then at his watch, "Mom, I'm going out with my sister..."
"What are you doing?" Lin Yutong was about to give them hot milk.
"I'm going to buy roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts with sugar." Qingning wrinkled her nose, "I just want to eat them suddenly..."
The fourth master came down and said, "Dad, go out and buy it for you. It's so cold outside..."
"I want to go out for a walk..." After saying that, he handed the coat to Qingping and pulled her away.
When there were only two people left in the living room, Fourth Master said: "When the children go to bed, I will take you to a good place..."
What place?
Lin Yutong's heart was scratching like a cat's claws, just waiting for the naughty children to go to bed quickly.
As a result, the naughty children were really not in a hurry. Qingning and Qingping left the community and followed the scent to find everything sold on the snack street.
The two of them stood next to the cart selling skewers of incense. Each of them ate the two-yuan incense stick to satisfy their craving, and then looked for other delicious food.
I ordered six roasted sweet potatoes and a large bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts, then turned around and prepared to go back.
Qingping stared at a hot pot restaurant that had just opened across the street, "Look, who is standing at the door?"
Qing Ning has good eyesight, and the one carrying the welcome sign is not Liu Yan'er. "She doesn't go to school anymore?"
"Here we go." Qingping's eyes were a little complicated, "It's actually not easy for her."
On a cold day, standing in the snow without being able to wrap up in a big cotton-padded jacket would not look good. You have to stand there for several hours, and you have to wait until the hot pot restaurant closes before you can get off work.
"I guess I slept in the store." Qingping told Qingning on the way back.
There are many poor people, but in Qingning's opinion, this one is the least worthy of sympathy.
Arriving at the door of the house, Qing Ning first knocked on the door of Yan's house opposite. As soon as the doorbell rang, Yan Yan opened the door, "I heard you go down and come up again..."
Qing Ning gave him half of the food, and even put his head in to say hello to Yan Yan and Shi Ke: "Uncle and auntie, try this. This is the most delicious when it snows."
"I'm not afraid of the cold either." Shi Xie said, "Go home quickly."
When she got home, Qingning wanted to say a few words to her parents, but her mother urged her: "Eat quickly, sleep quickly, don't delay..."
Didn’t you say you shouldn’t go to sleep immediately after you just ate it?
The fourth master was laughing in the study, and finally fell asleep. Lin Yutong entered the study like a thief, wearing a big down jacket, wrapped tightly, "Aren't you going out? Let's go!"
The Fourth Master just laughed: I want to go out with you on a date, not have an affair. Why are you so sneaky?!
