Chapter 39 - Boss, happy birthday to you (1)
Early in the morning, Bai Taotao hid aside and snickered.
Xing Xing found out, ran over and asked, “Fourth sister, why are you laughing?”
Tao Tao put her index finger in front of her lips, motioned Xing Xing to whisper, and then pointed in the direction of the third sister.
Xing Xing saw Bai Li Li humming a song, combing her hair in front of the mirror, looking left and right, smiling, holding the comb and trying to press down the dull hair on the top of her head…
Tao Tao held back her laughter, stretched out five thin white fingers, and whispered, “She gets up at five o’clock!”
——I’ve combed my hair for an hour, and I don’t know if I’m bald!
At this time, Tang Liren shouted from the yard, “Lizi, go out! Remember to wear a bamboo hat!”
Bai Lili immediately responded sweetly, “Hey! Okay, here we go!”
Then he happily took the hat and turned around——
She found two younger sisters hiding in the corner and smirking?
“What to look at! What’s so beautiful! Haven’t you seen anyone going out to work and farm?” Bai Lili was a little embarrassed and scolded her sisters, but she couldn’t help but feel the joy in her heart, “Oh, that’s great. I can finally go out! Hahahaha…”
The joy is simply overwhelming!
Tao Tao and Xing Xing also laughed.
The third sister went out to work with her mother, and Xingxing asked Taotao again, “Fourth sister, Jiang Hongzhi and Zhou Chunni are already married, and they are leaving today, do we need to keep watching the third sister?”
“Are you stupid!” Taotao reached out and pinched Xing Xing’s nose, “It’s not Jiang Hongzhi who framed the third sister, it’s Yan Naqian! As long as Yan Naqian stays in the village for a day, we can’t take it lightly! Who knows what she will think next Who have you framed?”
“Oh! Got it!” After speaking, Xing Xing rubbed her nose and muttered, “Why do you keep saying people are stupid!”
Taotao, “Just rely on your little actions… Alas! You said you’re not stupid! Now that I’m watching you, you’ll be fine. If one day I’m not by your side, you’re so stupid… But what should I do!”
Hearing the first half of what the fourth sister said, Xing Xing froze for a while, wondering if it was the fourth sister who found out about her and Song Sui?
But in the second half, Xing Xing instantly frowned, “Why aren’t you by my side?”
——In the dream, the silly sister has been with her for a lifetime!
Tao Tao said strangely, “Because I want to be a worker, peasant, and soldier student! I’m going to go to university in the future!”
Xing Xing breathed a sigh of relief, “I’m going too! I’m going with Fourth Sister!”
“Hey, I have already started to serve the people! I look after the library every day, and I go to the fields every day. I have found pests and diseases several times, and solved the problem early!” Taotao said proudly, “How about you, you do some work every day. What?”
“I’m serving as a follower for my fourth sister!” Xing Xing also replied proudly.
Peach: …
“If I opened the university, I would definitely let you go.” Taotao sighed.
Unfortunately not.
Forget it, let’s find another chance for Xing Xing!
Now Taotao is going to inspect the fields.
So she put the bag on her back and prepared to go out.
The younger nephew is too young and is still a baby. The elder sister-in-law does not work, so she concentrates on taking care of the children at home and doing some needlework; Lili and Xingxing take turns doing housework at home. Today, Lili goes to work, and it is Xing’s turn. Apricot does housework at home.
Seeing that Tao Tao was going out, Xing Xing quickly followed with a bucket of clothes, “Fourth sister, wait for me, I’ll do the laundry!”
Tao Tao asked her, “Why don’t you wash at home?”
——The house is connected to a bamboo bobbin, which can catch water from the mountain. As long as it’s not a dry season, you don’t need to go outside to fetch water.
Xing Xing replied: “It’s just that the water tank is not full! Let’s talk to Brother Song Zhi and ask him to patrol the mountain. I don’t know if the bamboo tube is in the wrong place or something…”
The two sisters said hello to their father and sister-in-law, and left home together, first going to a blacksmith shop.
It’s still early, Song Zhi is making preparations and hasn’t started the pig iron stove yet. I heard that the water tank at home is not full of water? He immediately took off the leather apron, took the sickle, and was ready to go up the mountain to have a look.
However, he paused again, looking at Tao Tao with a hesitant expression on his face.
Tao Tao said curiously, “Why?”
He smiled, “It’s alright, I’ll talk about it later.” Then he took the sickle and left.
The two sisters went to the rice field.
As a result, when they got to the river, the laundry dam was surrounded by daughters-in-law who came to wash clothes. Xing Xing couldn’t find a place, so she simply put the clothes and buckets aside, and said to a sister-in-law, asking help to watch, and then went with her. Tao Tao went to the place where her mother and sister went to work together.
A sister-in-law stopped sisters Tao Xing, “Xingzi, yesterday your mother helped Zhou Chunni with the wedding banquet all day. Did Zhou Chunni pay your mother for the hard work?”
“I don’t know!” Xing Xing replied.
The daughters-in-law chattered about—
“Hey, how do you expect Zhou Chunni to know the world!”
“Let me tell you, Zhou Chunni didn’t give her any money! She didn’t give me a penny! I was helping last night too, let alone the wages. A dozen of us were tired all day, and Zhou Chunni didn’t even say thank you!”
“Then are you still going?”
“Did I go for her? I did it for the sake of Aunt Zhenggan! I went for Aunt Zhenggan, otherwise, I wouldn’t even want to go if Zhou Chunni invited me!”
“That’s how kind Auntie Zheng is!”
“It’s okay to be an uncle! Otherwise, how would they become a family!”
“I think it’s okay to be a good person, Zhou Chunni is not a thing! Xiao Ni is still so young, so she can leave Xiao Ni at ease. Why should the uncle and his wife help such a white-eyed wolf!”
“Oh, do you really think that Uncle Zhenggan is blind and kind and treats Zhou Chunni for no reason? It’s for Chunsheng’s sake!”
“That’s right! You are young, married a few years ago, and you don’t know what happened in the past… When Taozi was a child, she was a foolish person, and she was in danger several times, but Chunsheng risked his life to save Taozi! “
“Yes, I remember one time Nansheng took Taotao to ride a bull, but the bull was frightened and overturned Taotao! It was Chunsheng who pushed Taotao aside, Taotao was fine, but Chunsheng’s feet were not. It was trampled and broken by a cow’s hoof… It took more than half a year to slowly raise it up!”
After listening to everyone’s words, Tao Tao was a little stunned.
She carefully searched her memory, but she remembered that there was a time when her second brother took her to ride a bull. It seemed that he encountered the bull and went crazy, and then a younger brother hugged her desperately to escape and hide…
But her perception is not good, and she can’t remember who the little brother is.
All I can say is that in her memory, the little brother who helped her always popped up from time to time, but she couldn’t be sure if it was Chunsheng.
Tao Tao was not the only one who was stunned by the words of the wives…
And Zhou Chunni.
She is about to leave the village with Jiang Hongzhi… She dreams of leaving here, leaving this impoverished small mountain village that has humiliated her with the title of “the landlord’s brat” for nineteen years.
But when she was about to leave, she was very at a loss again, and she felt uncertain and flustered in her heart.
She didn’t have much to take with her, and a little tidying up was enough. But the unsteady feeling in her heart made her feel very uncomfortable, so she was about to go out to find Tang Liren, but when she passed the laundry dam, she heard the daughter-in-law in the village talking about her.
It was only then that Zhou Chunni suddenly realized that Tang Liren held such a wedding banquet for her yesterday, should she have to pay her wages?
She couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Without her mother’s teaching, she really…don’t understand anything.
Zhou Chunni left silently.
She found Tang Liren in the rice field, “Aunt, you helped me hold the wedding banquet yesterday, should I pay you wages?”
Tang Liren was stunned.
She looked at Zhou Chunni up and down for a while, and smiled, “Why, are you enlightened?”
Zhou Chunni understood that she really should pay Tang Li labor wages, but she didn’t know how much to pay.
She took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her trousers pocket, opened it, revealing a few banknotes that were stored in it, and held the handkerchief in front of Tang Liren, “Aunt, I don’t know if I want to give it to you. How much money do you have, take it yourself!”
Tang Liren, “No need!”
“need.”
Tang Liren, “It’s really not necessary, don’t say that you three brothers and sisters were brought up by me… I just saved Taotao several times for your brother, this kind of favor, we have to pay it back! Plus you When brother left, he entrusted you and Xiaoni to us… ah, by the way, how are you going to settle Xiaoni?”
Zhou Chunni tightened her handkerchief and shook her head, “I-I don’t know…”
——Xiao Ni cried and knelt down and begged her not to marry Jiang Hongzhi or go with him. She also said that as long as she stayed in the village, Xiao Ni was willing to go to work and do farm work and earn work points to support her.
Zhou Chunni disagreed, and the sisters had a big fight. Xiao Ni didn’t want to talk to her anymore. Including just now, she wanted to explain a few words to Xiaoni, but Xiaoni didn’t know where she went…
After listening to Zhou Chunni’s words, Tang Liren’s face changed, “You don’t know?”
——Xiao Ni was only twelve or thirteen years old, her brother went to school abroad, and her sister hurriedly got married. Even if Chunsheng entrusted Bai Zhenggan to take care of her two younger sisters before leaving, it was impossible to adopt Zhou Xiaoni.
So is Zhou Chunni planning to ignore Xiao Ni at all?
There were thin tears in Zhou Chunni’s eyes, and she said to Tang Liren, “I don’t know, auntie! I really don’t know… You teach me!”
Tang Liren looked at Zhou Chunni, full of powerlessness, and said—
“Chun Ni, my aunt has to rely on the old and sell the old to say something—there are not children in the village who lost their mothers without beating children. Honghong, Yuexiu, and Osmanthus also lost their parents early, and they grew up by eating a hundred family meals. But They are also more sensible than you… For things like asking people to help you with a wedding banquet and paying wages, even if no one teaches you how to do it, you should inquire about it… No matter how bad it is, you should also think about why others do it for no reason. help you?”
“For your brother’s sake, I don’t care about this with you. When you go outside in the future…you have to understand that no one will treat you well for no reason!”
Tears filled Zhou Chunni’s eyes.
Tang Liren added: “I’m not polite, I just said what I said to you and my pears, and I don’t like to pay attention to you. But our family owes your brother a favor, and please ask us to take care of your brother when he leaves. You and Xiaoni, so as long as you speak, I will help you! Look, this is the blessing your brother saved for you, or you can’t move me.”
“When it comes to siblings helping each other, think for yourself… Over the years, what have you done for Chunsheng and Xiaoni? What have they done for you? Your brother walks on the front foot, and you follow behind Now… What should Xiao Ni do alone? She is still young and can’t do farm work, so how can she earn work points in exchange for food? Do you want to starve her to death?”
Zhou Chunni hurriedly shook her head, “No, no—”
“Or do you want to throw her at our house? Because you know we can’t watch Xiao Ni starve to death? Or do you want to throw Xiao Ni at the elderly care center and let her fend for herself?” Tang Liren asked.
Zhou Chunni cried with a “wow”, “But I… can’t do anything!”
Just as Tang Li and Zhou Chunni were talking, Tao Tao and Xing Xing had already run over. They not only heard the conversation between Tang Li and Zhou Chunni, but also found Xiao Ni on the other side of Tian Kan.
Xiao Ni was lying on the ridge, crying, obviously listening to what Tang Li and Zhou Chunni said!
Zhou Chunni didn’t find any trace of Xiao Ni, but just angrily shoved the handkerchief rolled with the banknotes into Tang Liren’s hands, “Aunt, give this to Xiao Ni! These are all my money… Give it all to her!”
Tang Liren took a step back and avoided, “I don’t want to do this. Find Xiao Ni by yourself and make it clear to her. If she is willing to accept the money, she will accept it herself; if she wants to accept it from you Money… I can’t be this bad guy, right?”
Zhou Chunni, “How could she not want money?”
Xiao Ni’s angry voice sounded——
“I don’t want your money! You can leave if you want! Why say one thing and do another?”
Zhou Chunni turned her head and looked at Xiao Ni.
Xiao Ni was angry, her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was messy, and her face was full of dirt, like a little beggar!
For a time, Zhou Chunni was a little afraid to face her sister, so she lowered her head and handed over the handkerchief with the money, “Xiao Ni, don’t make trouble… keep the money…”
Xiao Ni sniffed and said loudly, “I’ll say it again! I don’t want your money! Zhou Chunni! Listen to me! I’ll make a bet with you too! Ten years! Ten years later…”
Xiao Ni cried for a while, “Ten years from now, I will have a good life! Without you, I will have a good life too! My brother will also have a good life! Zhou Chunni! You will regret leaving us!”
Zhou Chunni was also angry, “You are talking nonsense! I won’t regret it! I will never regret leaving here!”
With that said, Zhou Chunni turned around and left!
After walking a few steps, she turned to look at Zhou Xiaoni again, threw the handkerchief tightly in her hand in Zhou Xiaoni’s direction, and said loudly, “If you don’t want this money, throw it away!”
Zhou Chunni cried and ran away.
Xiao Ni cried and picked up the handkerchief, and staggered to chase after Zhou Chunni.
She wants to return the money to Zhou Chunni!
She doesn’t want her money! ! !
However, Xiao Ni saw that every time Zhou Chunni saw a villager, she stopped and bowed to them, “Uncle, after I leave, please take care of my Xiao Ni! I will kneel and kowtow to you!”
Saying that, she didn’t care whether they wanted to or not, she knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and ran away crying.
All the way back to the village committee, Zhou Chunni met at least 20 or 30 villagers, and she kowtowed to everyone… Finally, she went to Bai Zhenggan’s house. Bai Zhenggan shouted, and then kowtowed three times towards the main house of the Bai family…
Xiao Ni followed behind her, crying to the death.
In the end, Zhou Chunni returned home, hurriedly packed herself, washed her face, and hurried to the educated youth station with a simple little burden on her back.
Jia Xiaohong told Zhou Chunni that Jiang Hongzhi had already gone to the village entrance.
Zhou Chunni hurriedly chased again——
Jiang Hongzhi had already missed two buses in order to wait for her, and he was already impatient. Seeing her now, he didn’t say anything, just glared at her fiercely, took two steps back in disgust, and deliberately kept a distance from her.
Zhou Chunni hugged her small burden and couldn’t help but look back at the village.
The small mountain village she had hated for nineteen years was located in the mountains, quiet and lonely, isolated from the world.
However, when it was time to leave, the extreme hatred in the past seemed to have become a deep concern.
What reminded her was the splendid red rhododendron blooming in the back hills in the early spring; the purple wild grapes hanging on the branches and bearing fruit in midsummer; the plump duck eggs distributed by the production team after the autumn harvest; Sweet Chinese cabbage frozen in snow…
And the thin but reliable shoulders of the older brother, and the innocent and unworldly laughter of the younger sister.
Zhou Chunni’s tears rolled down.
At this time, the bus slowly arrived——
Jiang Hongzhi got into the car and looked back at Zhou Chunni again.
Zhou Chunni also timidly hugged the small burden and followed him into the car.
The shuttle started slowly.
Zhou Chunni’s mood suddenly became uneasy again.
——Everyone advised her not to leave, but if she didn’t leave, how could she change the future? Going to a new place, what will happen to her future? By the way, Aunt Zhenggan is a good person. She once persuaded herself to learn cultural knowledge. It seems that it is time to learn to read. Otherwise, I don’t even know the road signs on the road, and I’m afraid when I go out…
Suddenly, Zhou Chunni turned her head and looked out the car window——
I saw the unkempt Xiao Ni was crying and desperately chasing after her. She was desperately waving and screaming?
Zhou Chunni was startled and pressed her face against the glass window.
She watched helplessly as Xiao Ni chased the bus for a long time and her shoes were kicked off, but Xiao Ni didn’t care, she quickly got up and continued chasing with bare feet…
The bus is going faster and faster.
In the end, Xiao Ni lost her strength and couldn’t catch up anymore, so she squatted on the ground, hugged her head and cried.
The small, lonely figure gradually turned into a small black spot, and finally disappeared.
Zhou Chunni stiffened, hugging her small burden tightly, tears streaming down her face.
==
The autumn harvest is coming.
The millet in the paddy field has become golden, and each ear of the grain is full of grains, and its heavy head hangs down. When the wind blows, it squeaks and turns into a golden ocean.
Tao Tao ran around in the fields.
The faces of the old masters are full of joy of harvest, and they are all saying that this year is a harvest year. After completing the task of paying grain, they can also pile up their own grains full of warehouses!
Tao Tao was also very happy.
For the first time, she felt such a strong harvest of joy, and she felt that she was also credited with taking care of this farmland for so long. It was like looking at a child growing up slowly.
“Peach!”
Someone shouted her name in the distance.
Taotao looked back, is it Yan Naqian? ? ?
——This Yan Naqian has a bad stomach, so be careful of her!
Tao Tao immediately entered an alert look.
As soon as Yan Naqian walked in, she found that the little beauty frowned and stared at herself with big round eyes?
She laughed, “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not a bad person!”
“You are!” Tao Tao said seriously.
Yan Naqian: …
“It’s Jiang Hongzhi’s business that makes you think so?” Yan Naqian asked with raised eyebrows.
Tao Tao did not speak.
Yan Naqian, “Yes, that’s what I did! But you never thought about it, if Jiang Hongzhi is really a decent gentleman and doesn’t want to take advantage of those girls at all, why would he be deceived by those little notes again and again? Go to the cornfield?”
“I made him understand such an important truth, and it also made Zhou Chunni’s wish come true… Moreover, they can also not get married. Everything is their own choice. I don’t think I have any problem.”
“On the contrary, I feel that I am open and candid, and I have nothing to say to others.” After speaking, Yan Naqian blinked at Taotao and asked, “Right?”
Tao Tao nodded: yes yes yes!
What a waste of time talking to you.
So Tao Tao turned around and ran!
Yan Naqian was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously, “Hey! Bai Taotao! Wait a minute…”
Tao Tao doesn’t care about her!
“Song zhi is right! You, you should wait until you learn to talk about something, then talk to me!” Taotao said as she ran, “Don’t waste other people’s time!”
Tao Tao ran away.
Yan Naqian was so angry that she stomped her feet!
Tao Tao went to the blacksmith shop.
Song Zhi was too busy to touch the ground.
Tao Tao looked at the various farm tools neatly placed aside for a while and asked him, “Are you going out again?”
Song zhi said with an “um”, “The Red Star Factory has sent a message and wants me to go there again. I will try to come back in three days, and I should be able to catch up with the grain harvest.”
Taotao, “You just wanted to tell me about this in the morning?”
Song Zhi blushed slightly, “Come with me, okay?”
Tao Tao thought about it.
——Usually Song Zhi doesn’t go to the city less often, but Taotao rarely goes, unless the Red Star Factory also sends an invitation letter to Taotao, but there aren’t many such opportunities.
So what Song Zhi meant: Tao Tao didn’t have the task of entering the city, but he wanted to go with her.
“Okay!” Tao Tao nodded.
Song Zhi is overjoyed!
“Then, I told your parents that the Red Star Factory sent you an invitation letter?” he asked cautiously.
Taotao thought about it again and nodded, “Okay!”
Otherwise, her parents wouldn’t let her go.
Sure enough, Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren were both happy and worried when they heard that the Red Star Factory had sent an invitation letter to Taotao.
“But it’s going to be threshing corn soon, I really can’t go away!” Tang Liren said anxiously, “This year is a bumper year, and your sister and I have to clean up the clutter in the barn… , can you make the Red Star Factory wait any longer? I will accompany you when the millet is finished?”
Song Zhi said embarrassingly, “I’ll just go with Taotao…”
Everyone in the Bai family directly chose to ignore him.
Bai Zhenggan, “Let Xing Xing accompany Tao Tao!”
Xing Xing was also anxious, “But everyone is busy these days, those aunts and sisters-in-law don’t have time to cut and feed pig grass, and those pigs are starving so much! No one picks up the eggs in the chicken and duck pens! Today, the captain of the brigade forced me, Jiafang and Qiu Gui to issue a military order. The three days of pig grass, chicken and duck food will belong to the three of us. We also have to pick up eggs and duck eggs, and shovel chicken and duck feces… The three of us have been busy today. God, I haven’t finished anything yet, and I’m going up the mountain to mow hogweed at five o’clock tomorrow morning! Sister-in-law, you’ve been working hard these days to cook at home! Wait for me to wash my clothes when I come back!”
Tan Fenghui, “You have something to do with you, and I have me at home!”
Bai Zhengqian and Tang Liren looked at each other.
“Then Taotao, let’s go! It’s always good to have something serious to do!” Tang Liren made up her mind and said, “But, you have to come back early!”
Bai Taotao nodded, “Do you want me to bring something back?”
Tang Liren thought for a while, “Bring some cloth back if you can, I’ll give you the money, this year our family is fairly well-off, so we can buy a new dress for one person! You can do the rest yourself! , remember to send the letter we wrote to your second brother!”
White peach should go down.
The next day, Taotao and Song Zhi caught up with the early bus.
It was too early in the morning, Tao Tao was too sleepy, and slept warmly and fragrantly in Song Zhi’s arms.
The dilapidated and outdated bus swayed and swayed, and it was only after three o’clock in the afternoon that it arrived at the county seat.
Tao Tao’s **** was flattened!
Song Zhi took the letter of introduction and went to the guest house.
The waiter was a little embarrassed, “Comrade, are you husband and wife?”
Song Zhi blushed suddenly, “What?”
The waiter, “It’s like this. Recently, we have hosted all the reception tasks. The rooms are almost full, and the last room is left. Are you two brothers and sisters or a husband and wife? Can you live in one room? If you have to live in two rooms If so, you two may have to go to the guest house of the county party committee in the west of the city!”
——This guest house is very close to the Red Star Factory, and it takes seven or eight minutes to walk there; if you live in the guest house of the county party committee, Song Zhi would have to take two buses to go to the Red Star Factory.
Of course Tao Tao doesn’t want to live that far!
“We live in a room!” Tao Tao said loudly.
Song Zhi’s face blushed unbelievably.
The waiter finished the formalities and gave Song Zhi two keys.
The two went up to put their luggage.
Tao Tao asked him, “Are you still going to the Red Star Factory now?”
Song Zhi nodded, “You can take an afternoon nap in your room. I’ll call Cheng Zhujun to come and accompany you. Don’t go out alone and wait for her to come.”
Tao Tao was indeed a little tired—the long-distance bus was so bumpy that she was about to fall apart.
So Song Zhi hurried away.
Tao Tao fell asleep on the bed.
Until someone called the door–
She rubbed her raw eyelids and ran to open the door.
The person who came was indeed Cheng Zhujun, holding an enamel bowl in his hand.
“Tao Tao! You’re finally here!” Cheng Zhujun said happily, “Oh yes, this is what Song Gong asked me to bring over for you to eat, eat it now!”
Taotao has already smelled a strong spicy aroma, and wondered: “What is this?”
Cheng Zhujun said, “Potato powder!” She opened the enamel bowl with a handle, revealing a large bowl of plump and plump powder with soup and water.
potato powder?
Tao Tao’s eyes widened.
She eats potato jelly at home and has become one of the staple foods.
However, this potato flour is not the same as hers, it is steaming, with soup and water!
“I’m afraid you don’t like spicy food, so let’s put the chili sauce on the surface and try it first. If it’s too spicy, pick out the chili sauce!” Cheng Zhujun said.
Tao Tao tried the spicy sauce, and it was really spicy, “Oh, this is too spicy, I can’t stand it, I just need a little bit.”
Suddenly remembering something, Taotao asked Cheng Zhujun again, “Can you eat some too?”
Cheng Zhujun shook his head, “No, I won’t eat it, you can eat it!”
Seeing that the lid of the enamel bowl was just a small shallow plate, Taotao put the chili sauce in the lid, added a small bowl of potato flour, and gave Cheng Zhujun a chopstick, “Come on, you can eat it too! “
“no, I’m fine!”
“You eat it, I can’t eat so spicy!”
“Then… thank you Taotao!”
“You are welcome!”
The two shared potato flour while chatting.
Cheng Zhujun took out a small notebook and excitedly said to Taotao, “Do you know Taotao? We really made money!” As she spoke, she handed the small notebook to Taotao and took it out from her pocket. Thick stacks of money, from the Great Unity to the corner tickets and split tickets.
“It’s less than three months! We earned a total of one hundred and twelve yuan and four cents!” Cheng Zhujun said excitedly, “Hey, look! Look at the ledger!”
Tao Tao flipped through the ledger.
The ledger is recorded on a daily basis, and I still remember it clearly:
Entry: June 14, 3.5 yuan, towel.
Out: June 17, 5.2 yuan, towels.
Earn: 2.7 yuan, clear inventory
Enter: July 8, 15 yuan, handle the handkerchief.
Out: July 9, 5 yuan, handle the handkerchief.
Out: July 10, 10 yuan, handle the handkerchief.
Out: July 12, 8 yuan, handle the handkerchief.
Earn: 8 yuan, clear inventory
…
Taotao, “Don’t you usually rest?”
Cheng Zhujun, “Rest? To make money is to rest! I like making money!”
Tao Tao laughed.
Cheng Zhujun, “Tao Tao, we agreed to divide it in half, so let’s divide it in half now, how about it?”
“OK!”
So Cheng Zhujun counted the bills in his hand one by one, “Now we still have some goods at home, the money we have on hand can be divided into about 40 yuan per person, we will not divide the change, it is not easy to settle accounts, so Just… forty per person?”
Tao Tao nodded.
Cheng Zhujun gave Taotao four pieces of unity, and asked Taotao to sign her book.
Then she breathed a sigh of relief, “Peach, do you know what is the hardest thing for me?”
Tao Tao tilted her head and looked at her.
Cheng Zhujun sighed: “That’s right… As soon as I have money, I want to buy some nutritious things to come back to make up my brother’s body! But I thought again, you once said, what about the ten yuan capital? I can’t move! I just kept clenching my teeth and holding on to the money! Then I actually got through it! Look at each of us forty dollars in three months!”
Then Cheng Zhujun pointed his finger and said:
“Now that I have money in my hand, I’m going to buy a whole chicken back and cook a big pot of chicken soup. We just eat chicken, drink chicken soup… All we can eat, all we can eat! Then I’ll buy ten pounds of eggs and come back. My brother eats a boiled egg every day to make up his body! I have to take my brother to the hospital to see a doctor! This time I have money in my hand, and I don’t believe that I can’t cure him!”
Seeing Cheng Zhujun’s excited look, Tao Tao also felt very happy, “It’s great!”
Cheng Zhujun asked Taotao, “Have you figured out how to spend the money?”
Taotao, “My mother wants me to buy cloth to go back… This year, everyone in our family can wear new clothes for the New Year!”
Cheng Zhujun, “Then my brother and I will each buy new clothes! By the way, this time it’s the same as last time. I’ll take you to the cloth factory to find some cloth heads or something?”
Tao Tao nodded and lowered her head to sip the soup base of potato flour.
She loves this warm potato flour with soup, the soup tastes good, and the potato flour is soft and glutinous!
And the weather is getting colder every day, and it is not suitable to eat jelly at home. If you can turn cold jelly into hot potato powder with soup and water every noon, it will be delicious and stomach-warming!
Taotao asked Cheng Zhujun how to make this potato flour.
Cheng Zhujun shook his head, “I don’t know how to do it, I bought it from outside! If you like it… When Gong Gong comes back, let him take you out for a walk! Tomorrow Saturday, there will be a night market at night, and the police and urban management will not go to work! Night market! There are too many people selling these snacks! Someone made them on the spot, so go and teach them secretly!”
Tao Tao nodded again and again and looked at the sky. Is it getting dark?
“Then are you leaving now?” Tao Tao asked.
Cheng Zhujun nodded, “I have to rush to the factory to make a meal, send it home to eat with my brother, and then I have to share it at night… Tao Tao, Song Gong said, don’t go anywhere today, wait for him Come back!”
Tao Tao nodded obediently.
Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Zhujun packed up the tableware and left.
Tao Tao also packed up and left the guest house.
She didn’t go far either.
– There is a black market near the train station.
Tao Tao strolled around the black market for a few laps, bought a lot of things, and ran back to the hostel in a hurry.
Fortunately, Song Zhi has not returned yet.
She hummed a song and began to decorate the house.
——A few bunches of gardenias were placed on the windowsill and on the bedside table, and the whole room became fragrant!
——Put another pot of cleaned fruits on the desk, there are two kinds of grapes and kiwi.
——She also went downstairs with a hot water bottle to fetch boiling water, washed the two porcelain cups, placed them, and took a bag of milk powder and put it aside.
——The highlight is the bowl of noodle soup that Tao Tao bought!
Tao Tao was afraid that the bowls outside were not clean, so she bought two brand new enamel bowls. After washing them, she went to the hawker to buy a bowl of noodle soup with braised pork head meat. And because she didn’t know when Song Zhi would come back, she asked the hawker to separate the two soup noodles, one bowl for soup and the other for noodles, so that the noodles would not be lumpy.
Next, Tao Tao sat in the room and waited.
In fact, she really wanted to go downstairs to watch TV…
But she was afraid that Song zhi would just come back when she went downstairs. She wanted to see his surprised expression with her own eyes, so she forcibly suppressed the urge to watch TV and waited.
After ten o’clock at night, Song Zhi finally came back.
As soon as he took the key and unlocked the door, he first smelled the strong fragrance of flowers, and then turned on the dim electric light. He saw Taotao lying on the bed, in the shape of a big letter, and sleeping soundly.
Hearing the movement, she got up and rubbed her eyes. The first sentence she saw Song zhi was, “Why did you come back…” The half-awake voice was delicate, and there seemed to be infinite grievances in her tone.
Then, she suddenly burst into Mingyan’s smile and shouted loudly in a sweet and moist voice: “Song zhi! Happy birthday to you!”
Song Zhi was stunned.
——How did she know that today was his birthday?
Tao Tao got up quickly, walked to the table, reached out to touch the temperature of the enamel bowl, and said angrily, “Oh, it’s cold!”
But she soon figured out a solution.
She put the enamel bowl into the washbasin, and poured half a basin of hot water into the washbasin; then quickly poured two cups of hot milk with milk powder, and then poured the boiling water into the enamel bowl with cooked noodles , after passing the water, let the noodles melt, and then pour out the water.
After the noodle soup was covered with boiling water, she divided the two bowls of noodle soup and called Song zhi excitedly, “Song rank! Hurry up and eat longevity noodles! You must eat longevity noodles on your birthday!”
Song Zhi looked at her fixedly, his eyes reddened.
“How do you know…today is my birthday?” he asked in a low voice.
Tao Tao, “I didn’t know, but I saw your ID card when I checked in at the guest house.”
Song Zhi: …
“Come and eat noodles!” Tao Tao urged him.
Song Zhi walked over one step at a time, and sat down on the chair at her suggestion.
Taotao stretched out her hand, touched the top of his head, and said in a decent manner: “…you’re one year older, you must be obedient in the future, don’t be skinny, don’t cause trouble, and be a good child!”
——When she was in the fairyland, when Taotao celebrated her birthday every year, the master would cook her a bowl of noodle soup with his own hands, then touched her head and told her to be good and obedient.
After speaking, Taotao looked at Song zhi eagerly, and gestured to him with her eyes: Hurry up and eat noodles! If you move your chopsticks, I can eat too! This noodle soup looks delicious…
However, Taotao felt that Song zhi suddenly stiffened?
He looked at Tao Tao with red eyes, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water mist. His lips were also trembling violently, as if he wanted to say something, but…
Can’t say a word.
Heaven and earth are big, and Shou Xing is the most
