Cheng Tianyuan didn't raise his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know how much one costs?"
"It seems to be more than three thousand." Xue Yang whispered.
Cheng Tianyuan asked again: "Then are you sure you can use it?"
Xue Yang buried his head and muttered: "Once you buy it, you will be able to use it. I heard from my elder brother that as long as you type on the keyboard a few times, you will understand many things by yourself."
Cheng Tianyuan laughed and asked: "So, I bought a thing worth several thousand yuan for you to knock around?"
"If you want income, you have to pay!" Xue Yang said coquettishly.
Cheng Tianyuan still shook his head.
The young man laughed bitterly and apologized: "Dad, Dad, okay, okay! Are you willing to let your children fall behind? We lost a lot at the starting line. Do you think this is good?"
"Not good." Cheng Tianyuan said truthfully.
Xue Yang immediately stared and smiled happily.
Unexpectedly, my father had other tricks, saying: "If you want to buy, you have to learn first. Your mother has already discussed this with me and said that the two older ones of you can go to a computer training class outside. There is about one per session.
Yue, after you have studied for a month, I will buy it for you. Then you have to continue learning."
"Really?!" Xue Yang asked: "Then - I heard that cram schools are also very expensive! Dad, are you willing to pay?"
"I'm willing to give it up." Cheng Tianyuan said, "Didn't you say that? I value your education the most. If you don't invest, how will you gain anything?"
Xue Yang chuckled.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I will take you and your eldest brother to register tomorrow. I heard that classes will start on the fifth day of the new year, and then classes will start on the weekends."
"Wow!" Yangyang stared and asked, "Dad, have you asked about it? Have you investigated it carefully?"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "Your mother asked."
"Thank you, dad! Thank you, mom!" Xue Yang shouted happily: "Long live mom!"
Cheng Tianyuan pinched his arm and said: "Your mother said that we have to do housework at home during the holidays. You and your brother will sweep the floor first, and then mop the floor."
"Okay!" Xue Yang responded.
Cheng Tianyuan never forgot to remind: "Remember not to make the mop too wet, the drier the better."
"Know it!"
…
Next door, Zheng Duoduo was immersed in filling out test papers, and his pen was winding very fast.
After a while, a call came from the kitchen.
"Duoduo, it's time to eat."
Zheng Duoduo responded, threw away the pen and rushed to the kitchen.
"Auntie! What's for lunch? I'm so hungry!"
Zhu Achun smiled and replied: "Eat rice. Auntie made your favorite chicken leg braised rice."
"Oh yeah!" Zheng Duoduo cheered: "Finally I have chicken legs to eat!"
He quickly picked up the chicken legs and ate them happily.
Zhu Achun whispered distressedly: "Don't be too fast, slow down."
Now the family has to save money. She usually eats meat once a day and doesn't dare to buy more.
The tuition for college is high, and her salary has to be saved to pay for Duoduo's tuition next year. Now the family's expenses are all met by the money she earns from knitting at night.
"Auntie's knitting money will be paid out at the end of the year, and I'll buy you some big chicken drumsticks to make up for it."
Zheng Duoduo shook his head hurriedly and muttered: "No! I can just eat rice and vegetables! It's not good to eat too much chicken legs, I'm afraid of getting fat!"
Zhu Achun glanced at him and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, you are too thin."
Then, she placed another chicken leg on the rice and picked up two large chopsticks of vegetables.
"Duoduo, you finish your meal and rest for a while. I'll go and deliver food to my sister."
"Hey!" Zheng Duoduo responded.
Zhu Achun went out soon.
Zheng Duoduo inadvertently raised his head, looked at the thin back at the door, and unconsciously squinted his eyes.
Auntie, I have lost a lot of weight...
The next moment, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
He took a deep breath and quickly wiped away his tears roughly.
Auntie has lost a lot of weight in the past six months. Especially recently, she works as a cleaner downstairs during the day, takes care of the three meals at home, takes care of her sprained sister, and knits at night to make money, and occasionally stays up until one or two o'clock at night.
Just fell asleep.
Although it was very hard, she never complained or complained, and always had a light smile on her face.
He must work hard for the exam and get into the best university to repay his aunt!
This winter vacation, he will also start working part-time, working during the day and studying at night. No matter how much or how little he earns, it can alleviate some of the burden on his aunt.
…
In the evening, Xue Ling returned home early.
Father Xue watched TV with several children, while his mother was busy in the kitchen.
She changed into a coat, turned around and took the elevator upstairs.
After a while, she rang Lao Liu's doorbell.
Soon, Lao Liu opened the door.
"Hey! Xiao Xue! Have you eaten? Come in quickly! I'm eating noodles and I'll give you some to eat. Come on!"
Xue Ling shook his head and made up a lie very smoothly.
"No, I'm already full. There are many elderly people and children at home, so dinner will occasionally be a little early."
She entered the door and cleaned the room cleanly. There was a bowl of plain noodles on the dining table, with no trace of meat except a scallion.
Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Sit down and I'll boil water for you to make tea."
"No need." Xue Ling whispered: "You go on eating, the batter is not delicious. It's okay. I'll come and see you."
Lao Liu chuckled and said, "I'm pretty good, pretty good."
Xue Ling said warmly: "Lawyer He Miaomiao came to see me in the afternoon and talked to me a lot. As of now, there are still several people absconding in this case, and it won't be concluded for a while. Old Liu, it's almost the end of the year.
, do you want to go home to celebrate the New Year first, and then come back after the New Year?"
"No need." Old Liu sighed and whispered: "She...she needs me to visit her in the Imperial Capital every three or two days. Now that the case has not been concluded, Lawyer He has found an acquaintance, so that we can meet and chat for a while.
During this time, she always said that she was scared and cried every time she saw me. With a child like this... how can parents not feel distressed? Her mother still doesn’t know the inside story, so I dare not tell her, and neither does my son.
I didn't dare to tell her. I just said that the business was in trouble and we needed to wait for the police to investigate. Her mother was also very scared and kept asking me. I could only perfunctoryly say that I had to wait for the investigation results. She had rheumatism in her legs and her actions
It’s not very convenient and I don’t dare to tell the truth at all.”
Xue Ling sighed quietly and asked, "Then you plan to spend the New Year here?"
"Yeah." Lao Liu explained: "The round-trip ticket is too expensive, and the cost is enough for me to spend a good New Year here. The eldest son and the younger son may come over after the Chinese New Year. I will stay here to keep her at ease.
Some."
Xue Ling nodded and said warmly: "Then you should be careful. The weather has been getting cold from time to time recently. Please pay attention to your safety when entering and exiting."
"Okay." Old Liu ate some noodles and said, "I bought a pair of big boots, which are very warm to wear. The things in the Imperial Capital are different, but they are too expensive."
Xue Ling explained with a chuckle: "The living standard in the imperial capital is relatively high, and prices are also expensive. Our hometown villa in Chengjia Village has been built, and we will arrange to move in next week. Our whole family will go south to celebrate. A few days ago
None of the children have returned to their hometown yet, so we need to take them back to have a look."
"I should, I should!" Lao Liu said with a smile, "Congratulations!"
Xue Ling explained: "I can only stay there for two or three days. It's almost the end of the year and it's the busiest time. I don't dare to leave for too long. When the factory stops working, I will fly south to be with my family. Wait for me
After I come back, I will find time to see you."
Old Liu was very envious and said: "It's the best and happiest thing to be reunited as a family... Cherish it."
Xue Ling saw the tears in the corners of his eyes and did not dare to stay any longer. She said that she would bring him Rongcheng's specialties to satisfy his craving, then turned around and left in a hurry.
