The two said goodbye, and Chen Qing went back to school.

When she said goodbye to Jiang Jun, she turned back frequently, holding the address of the magazine in her hand, not knowing whether to give it to Jiang Jun.

Finally made up my mind, and tore the address to shreds and threw it away.

It's not that she thinks that she will gain any more material benefits through her hands, if that were the case, Chen Qing would have been corrupt.

Instead, she thinks that Jiang Jun is really interesting, and she hopes to get more opportunities to get along with him by helping him submit.

After Chen Qing left, Jiang Jun counted the money in his pocket.

There are more than eighty dollars left.

Even so, it is more magnificent.

As long as you return to the village and don't spend as much as you did yesterday in Lantian County, you can improve your life every once in a while, and until the next manuscript fee is issued, it will be enough to spend.

This is the matter of consumption concept, it is true that the price was low at that time, if you are like people now, eat some snacks and drink some soda every day, and eat fast food outside, then most people can't afford it.

But most of the people at that time didn't consume like people now. Instead, they only buy the necessary oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and eat at home. I often can't eat meat every few days, so I just eat a little bit, and only during the New Year's holidays, maybe I can eat meat in a big bite.

Jiang Jun's expenses on this day are equivalent to a "revenge consumption", through a large amount of consumption, to sweep away the depressed atmosphere of the previous month or so.

He hired a donkey cart for three yuan and went down to the entrance of the village.

On the way from the entrance of the village to his home, because he got a haircut and a new set of clothes, the whole thing changed greatly, and many people looked at him in amazement.

"The Jiang family kid is wearing new clothes. Uncle and aunt discussed.

"Brother Jun, you can dress up. Friends of the same age joked.

"Ah, so handsome......" Of course, there is also a girl in the village, covering her mouth and whispering.

Arrived home.

Father Jiang said suspiciously: "You didn't come back overnight, why did you go? Eh, why did you change your clothes? Where did you get the new clothes?"

Jiang Jun said: "It was late yesterday, so I stayed overnight. I'll tell you about the clothes slowly. ”

As he spoke, he took out the three sets of clothes for his father, mother, and Xiaowei.

Father Jiang said strangely: "Where did you get the money?"

Jiang Jun said: "I earn it by writing novels. ”

Father Jiang said suspiciously: "What is a novel?"

Jiang Jun said: "It's a book." ”

Jiang's father said: "You can't read a book, what book can you write? Besides, you can make so much money by writing books, and everyone in the world can stop working and write books!"

Jiang Jun couldn't communicate with him, knowing that what he was saying was incomprehensible within his cognitive scope.

I had to make up a nonsense and said: The radishes sold out very quickly yesterday, and they were sold out early in the morning. I thought that idleness was idle, so I went to the labor market. I was hired by a big boss, and that big boss was a happy event that day, and I made a lot of efforts, and my hands and feet were diligent, and I could say auspicious words, so I gave some more money and gave thirty. I spent fifteen and sold four sets of clothes.

Father Jiang exclaimed: "Fifteen yuan to buy four sets of clothes, this is not cheap, this is not a year, what are you doing to buy clothes, quickly retreat." ”

Jiang Jun thought to himself: This is still me underreporting, in fact, these four sets together are more than forty. And if you know that I spent 30 on shoes for Principal Chen's daughter, you probably would be crazy.

Said helplessly: "It's not a festival now, but if you two don't want to wear it, just wait for the New Year to wear it." ”

Jiang's mother showed a kind smile and said: "What Xiaojun said is also true, let's wait for the New Year to wear it, this is also the child's heart." ”

Father Jiang nodded and said, "If you earn thirty a day, you are lucky." I've heard that a second-level mechanic can earn so much in half a month. Apparently believing what he said about working for the big boss.

Jiang Jun thought to himself: I don't believe the truth, and you believe it when you tell lies. There's no way around it, I want to give you more of the money I earned, but you just don't believe it, I can only give it as much as you can accept.

Father Jiang said, "Then what about fifteen years to come?"

Jiang Jun took out fifteen yuan and gave it to Jiang's father.

Father Jiang looked at the fifteen yuan, and said, "Xiaojun is really capable, you can keep the money from selling radishes as pocket money." you, put half a catty of bacon today, stew a dish at night, buy a bottle of wine, let's celebrate!"

That night, the Jiang family cut cabbage, radish, vermicelli, put bacon on it, and stewed a large pot, which was full of aroma. At that time, there were no refrigerators or butcher shops in the countryside, and they were all made into bacon after killing pigs and preserved, and occasionally improving the food.

Another five cents of bulk liquor. Father Jiang poured himself a glass, and also poured a glass for Jiang Jun, and said, "You have also grown up, you can drink." ”

Jiang Jun took the wine to his lips, took a small sip, and put the cup back steadily.

Father Jiang looked a little puzzled, this is quite skilled, is it the first time to drink liquor? Isn't it the first time to drink liquor should be a spicy face deformed? This kid can't tell how much wine he secretly drinks behind his back.

Jiang Xiaowei clapped her hands and said, "I want to drink it too!"

Father Jiang and Jiang Jun said almost at the same time: "Children are not allowed to drink!"

Father Jiang said: "Xiaojun, others said that you were uneducated before, but now it seems that there is no use in being educated." Sixteen or seventeen years old without education is a good laborer. Some are literate and still in their twenties. I see that Xiaowei has finished reading for a year, and she doesn't need to read anymore, she can read enough, and when the time comes, she will find a good mother-in-law to marry, won't she have it?"

When Jiang Jun heard this, he put down the wine glass he was about to pick up, and said with a surprised expression: "Dare to make me make some money to make you come to this conclusion?"

He glared at him and said, "I just made it clear that Xiaowei must study! No matter what, she has to finish junior high school." As for high school, it doesn't matter if she can't pass the exam or she doesn't want to go to school. But as long as you can pass the exam, you can't stop going to school!"

Father Jiang slammed the wine glass on the table, some wine spilled out, and said angrily: "What are you doing, it will be against the sky to make some money? If she goes to work without studying early, how much money can she earn for so many years? If she pays miscellaneous fees every year and doesn't work, how much will it cost for so many years? Not to mention going to high school and college, we can afford the tuition fees? If you have the ability, provide your sister for college, otherwise you won't have a bottomless pit for the family to go to school!"

Jiang Jun didn't get angry, just said flatly: "You said this, as long as I can afford it, you have to let her go to school." ”

Father Jiang stared at him with wide eyes and said, "Yes, I said it!"

Jiang Jun said: "Okay, then you can just watch." ”

Jiang Jun scooped a few spoonfuls of the big stew into his big bowl, drank a few sips of soup and vegetables in his mouth, and picked up the crispy pastry that had just been baked out with one hand, took a big bite, and ate it very happily.

Jiang's mother also persuaded Jiang's father: "Eat quickly." ”

Father Jiang saw that Jiang Jun was silent, and slowly began to eat.
