The sun gradually sets in the west, the birds return to their nests, and the light in the house dims.
"Sister Xiaowei, I'm done!" Qi Yue said happily.
Ling Xiaowei checked and found that there were no poor quality ones, so she happily announced: "Congratulations, classmate Qiyue, you have completed a total of twenty-six hairpins this time. Congratulations!"
Qin Lili still had two things to finish, and when she saw Qi Yue had finished them, she started to feel anxious.
"Why are you all so fast? I still have two more to do!" Qin Lili was so anxious that she almost cried. When she was anxious, her movements were also messed up, and the beads she had strung fell off.
"Sister Lili, don't worry, let me help you do it together!" Qi Yue comforted.
"There are two left, let's take one each!" Ling Xiaowei said to Qi Yue.
The tense expression on Qin Lili's face relaxed, and she sighed: "Fortunately, I have your help."
"We are a small team, so of course we have to help each other." Ling Xiaowei said with a smile.
"Brother!" A clear, childish cry suddenly came from the door outside the house.
Brother? Where does this brother come from?
Ling Xiaowei looked up and saw a person standing against the light at the intersection.
"It's my brother!" Qi Yue said happily, then waved to the man standing and said: "Brother, I'm here!"
It's Qi Lei! Why is he here?
Qin Lili, who was on the side, suddenly became very nervous. When she saw Qi Lei walking this way, her heart was beating wildly, and she wanted to find a place to hide nervously.
"Qi Lei, why are you here?" Ling Xiaowei asked curiously.
Qi Lei stood at the door, hesitant, his face a little unnatural, coughed slightly, pointed at Qi Yue and said: "I'm here to find my sister."
"Oh!" He's looking for his sister! "Just wait a moment, I haven't paid your sister yet!" Ling Xiaowei said, then stood up, walked out of the hut, and trotted into the big house.
When passing by Qi Lei, Qi Lei took a step back nervously. When Ling Xiaowei walked away, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Ling Xiaowei's back.
"Brother, wait for me, I'll finish it in a moment!" Qi Yue said, and the movements in her hands accelerated!
"Well, don't worry!" Qi Lei said softly.
Then he looked around. It was his first time to come to Ling Xiaowei's house. Last night, he heard Qi Yue talking happily about Ling Xiaowei asking her to be a helper. He didn't believe it yet, but now it seems that it is true.
I saw a small pile of beautiful hairpins piled on the small table at the door of the hut. Is this thing worth 50 cents for handiwork? It is simply unbelievable. Such a thing is inedible and of no use. How can it be valuable?
of.
Qi Lei's thoughts fell into an alley, he really didn't understand!
After a while, Ling Xiaowei came out, holding a wallet in one hand and a notebook in the other. She sat back in her seat, then began to count, murmuring: "Qi Yue, you made a total of twenty-six, each one is fifty cents."
The total labor cost is..."
Ling Xiaowei started adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. As soon as she wrote a two, she heard Qi Lei say at the door: "Thirteen yuan!"
"Yeah... that's right!" Ling Xiaowei raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Lei, wondering how he could calculate so quickly. No, she had to calculate it again by herself, five, six, thirty, two, five, ten, three, eh! Really.
It’s thirteen yuan!
"Wow! Qi Lei, you are so awesome!" Qin Lili couldn't help but praise, looking at Qi Lei with stars in her eyes.
"Well, it's thirteen!" Ling Xiaowei took thirteen yuan and gave it to Qi Yue.
As soon as Qi Yue got the money, she couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed several bills in her hands over and over again, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on her face. This was the most she had ever seen since she was so old.
money.
"Brother, I made money!" Qi Yue stood up happily, ran out of the house, and threw herself into Qi Lei's arms.
Qi Lei rubbed Qi Yue's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Well, Xiaoyue can make money, brother is happy for you!"
"Brother... let's give the money to mom. Mom will be happier!" Qi Yue said happily.
Qi Lei nodded and smiled warmly. He looked at Ling Xiaowei, his eyes flickering slightly and with a hint of nervousness. Finally, he seemed to have mustered up the courage and said softly: "Thank you, Ling Xiaowei!"
Ling Xiaowei was settling accounts. When she heard Qi Lei's thanks, she raised her head and glanced at him. When she looked directly at him, his eyes seemed to flicker and avoid him, "Yes, Xiaoyue deserves this." Ling Xiaowei said with a smile.
, why is he afraid of her!
"Oh! Let's go back then!" Qi Lei pulled Qi Yue and said, "Go home quickly. Mom will be home soon. She won't be worried if she doesn't see us." After Qi Yue finished speaking, he pulled Qi Le along with him.
Qi Yue walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said to Qin Lili: "Sister Lili, do you want to come with us!"
Qin Lili nodded excitedly, "Okay, wait for me!"
"Qin Lili, I haven't given you the money yet!" Ling Xiaowei whispered, her arithmetic was too bad!
"It's okay. Give it to me when you go to school backstage. I'll go back first!" Qin Lili still had a semi-finished product in her hand, but she couldn't wait any longer. She was conflicted and nervous, but she couldn't wait to follow it.
...Well, how many Qin Lili does she count? Twenty-two or twenty!
After everyone left, Ling Xiaowei finished Qin Lili's semi-finished product, packed up her things, and went to the intersection to pull Ming Ming back. The boy was still at the intersection with a crazy look on his face, looking at his elder sister and younger sister who had walked away.
"Okay, I'm obviously going home. When you grow up and go to school, you will have a lot of good friends." Ling Xiaowei coaxed.
"You have a sister!" Ming Ming said with a hopeful look on his face.
"Of course, there will be a lot of little sisters!"
After hearing Ling Xiaowei's words, Mingming immediately became full of energy and went home happily.
"Sister, I want to grow taller, and I want to go to school!" He was so envious of his sister going to school, and he wanted to go to school too.
In fact, after the summer vacation, it is obviously time to go to kindergarten.
In fact, many children in the village do not go to kindergarten, and many go directly to first grade. Everyone thinks that kindergarten is useless and a waste of money.
Zhang Cuifen has never mentioned Mingming going to kindergarten. I have to ask Zhang Cuifen when I have time.
Ling Xiaowei was about to make dinner, but she didn't expect that Zhang Cuifen and her grandma came back. As soon as Zhang Cuifen got home, she stopped letting Ling Xiaowei work. She was still thinking about what happened during the day. She must behave well and try to let Xiaowei know.
She really didn't mean to blame her.
She really wants to be a good stepmother!
Zhang Cuifen felt bitter, but she didn’t say it!
It would be great if she didn't have to cook! Ling Xiaowei went back to the house to watch her father make clothes.
The clothes that were ordered by people who went to the market before have been made and ironed and folded one by one. Dad made ten more clothes for sale this time.
Including the previous five, there are fifteen pieces in total.
