The little boy's mother was still pestering Tian Xiaoxia what to do if he didn't give money, so Tian Jiahui brought the two children to Tian Xiaoxia.

Tian Jiahui saw Tian Xiaoxia and the confronting women in the crowd, shouted "Sister Xiaoxia" and turned his head to the crying boy and said,

"Xiaobao, you brought your mother to give Sister Xiaoxia shells? Didn't you say that you were going to secretly pick up the money and keep it?"

Children always can't understand the current situation, and they are here to deliver shells.

As soon as Tian Jiahui's words came out, the people around him couldn't understand that it was the boy who asked Xiaobao to go home and didn't make it clear to the family, but the parents who doted on the child thought that Tian Xiaoxia had made their children work, so they came to the door.

The boy cried and didn't speak, and Tian Jiahui probably didn't expect him to say anything.

He turned his head to Tian Xiaoxia and said, "Sister Xiaoxia, let's send shells." ”

Tian Xiaoxia was stunned, so soon, he only said it in the morning, can this be there?

"Come in and see how much you have taken. Tian Xiaoxia opened the courtyard door and brought three children to enter the door.

The woman who came to the door with her child to look for trouble did not leave, and followed the door.

In the morning, Tian Xiaoxia took out the box for comparison and was still on the table under the eaves, and directly brought the person to the table.

Tian Jiahui took out a small pile of shells from his trouser pocket and piled them on the table, and asked the people who came with him to "dig it out quickly." ”

The three children didn't get much, but they were well sorted.

Tian Xiaoxia still put the shells they had sorted into into boxes, but there were half a box of large shells, and less than a third of the small shells.

According to the price that Tian Xiaoxia said to Tian Jiahui in the morning, the addition and subtraction of Tian Jiahui's two pockets of shells were only counted to nine cents, and in the morning, Tian Xiaoxia gave him a dollar in advance in order to prove that she would give money.

"Jiahui, your sister counts you as nine cents at most, and she gave you a piece in the morning, even if you have a dollar. Tian Xiaoxia said.

The number of the two children who came with Tian Jiahui was not large, and Tian Xiaoxia also gave money, one seven cents and one five cents.

The three children had money, so they discussed going to the village store to buy a few fruit candies to eat. was stopped by Tian Xiaoxia.

"I didn't make it clear for the first time, you can't bring it one by one like this in the future, save enough a box and bring it again, if you don't have enough a box, I won't accept it. "Tian Xiaoxia is colorful.

The shell is not like a liquid, draw the scale mark, how much it should be, this third or two-fifths, everyone has their own opinions, and some people can't understand the fraction at all, this explanation may be ridiculous for a long time, Tian Xiaoxia simply only received one box at a time, there is nothing to argue, it can fill a box is a box.

The three children looked at Tian Xiaoxia as if they were joking, so they could only nod.

The woman who came with the child saw that Tian Xiaoxia really gave the money, and left with her own child with an uncomfortable face.

It is estimated that Tian Jiahui went to the group of friends to report the latest news, and no children sent them one by one the next day.

Tian Xiaoxia was quiet, looking at the shell over and over again and thinking about what to do.

At present, there are no accessories, so I can only pick out the right ones to wear the small wind chimes first, and sell them at school, the big wind chimes are not suitable, there is no place to hang and noisy, the small wind chimes are good, and they are good to hang next to the bed or on the balcony.

Tian Xiaoxia, who has been immersed in the metropolis for many years, still has a lot of experience in jewelry, after all, as a lawyer, formal wear is a must, and accessories have become an important aspect of reflecting taste and style.

Now the level of craftsmanship is not good, it is impossible to carry out deep grinding of the shell like many years later, it is really a piece of cutting and grinding, what Tian Xiaoxia can do is only to keep it as it is, try to smooth it out without scratching and hurting people.

Therefore, it is not a good idea to make a necklace with shells, but a necklace that comes into contact with the skin can't be done, and a sweater chain with a relatively small skin contact surface is a good choice.

Headwear, earrings, keychains, etc., you have to find the right accessories to do it.

Tian Xiaoxia's next time is to cook at home, collect the shells sent by the children, wear wind chimes, sweater chains, and bracelets......

Tian Xiaoxia also did what she said, the shells were handled cleanly, and she was not stingy to give one or two cents more when she was well classified, but she didn't really give less money if she was a little less satisfactory.

After a week, Tian Xiaoxia spent almost ten yuan out, and the family collected most of the boxes of shells, and she didn't really think about bringing all the shells to school.

Tian Xiaoxia told the children in the village that she was going to college, and she would not accept shells for the time being, so that they could study hard, but the children in the village felt that it was not difficult to pick up shells, even if Tian Xiaoxia went to school, they were all picking up shells, washing them and collecting them, but they didn't make eyes, and when she came back, she would punch holes if she didn't collect them, and it would be in vain if she didn't collect them, but this is all a later story.

Tian Xiaoxia didn't have much luggage to go to school, one was that she really didn't have anything to bring at home, and the other was that she had to reverse the boat several times when she went to the city, plus the sixteen or seventeen-hour train, there was really no need to bring too many things, and she didn't have to ask for trouble.

She didn't bring many shells, except for the sweater chain, small wind chimes and bracelets she was wearing, she only brought a pack of small shells, ready to go to Kyoto to see if she could find suitable accessories to make earrings, headwear and so on.

The day before Tian Xiaoxia left, Aunt Tian didn't come back, only Tian Hua just came back, and Uncle Tian and Uncle Tian also arrived at Tian Xiaoxia's house.

Tian Huagang gave Tian Xiaoxia fifty yuan behind her back, Tian Xiaoxia said that she didn't want anything, she knew that the money she left was only enough to spread the cost of a week.

Tian Huagang was a little unhappy, "Sister, I've made money on the stall again these days, this is for you from my brother, the poor family is rich, there are many difficulties outside, there is not much money, this is my brother's intention." ”

Tian Xiaoxia sighed again, he has these two cousins, he really doesn't lose anything, this is really nothing worse than his own brother. If you refuse this money, you will see the outside, so you have to accept it.

Tian Huagang also squeezed his eyes and asked her not to talk to her family. told her to take good care of herself, study hard, sit for a while, and rush back to the county without eating.

Uncle Tian and Uncle Tian came after dinner in the evening, and they still talked about the old sayings, telling her that a girl should not study badly when she is outside, don't worry about money, and the family will save for her and study hard. In the end, Tian Dabosai gave her fifty yuan, and Tian Sanshu was slightly embarrassed to stuff thirty.

Everyone left, and Tian Jianshe also entered the room and gave Tian Xiaoxia a neat stack of gross tickets.

"Xiao Xia, Dad has no ability, he didn't make up enough for your tuition, and you have to earn it yourself, this is three hundred and sixty-seven, only half of the tuition, you bring it. ”

Tian Jianshe slumped his back even when he sits, not only because of his perennial hard work and bending his back, but also because poverty made him feel that he did not have the capital to straighten his back.
