"I believe it, I believe it, we'll do the math now. Zhenhua stood up and took the abacus.

Zhao Chenghai is illiterate, but he can use an abacus to calculate addition and subtraction.

He crackled and plucked the abacus beads, and said, "The tractor is five thousand five, the bride price is three thousand eight and eighty-eight and one is returned to two, and three is to be three, is it earned one thousand seven?"

Zhenhua smiled, "Dad, you really know how to settle accounts, calculate well, and then calculate." Why did you earn a thousand seven, and you still didn't agree"

Zhao Chenghai also smiled and said, "Yilan married, this 5,000-5 tractor, that's our family's property, right?"

Zhenhua felt that there was a play, and hurriedly nodded his father's words again and again, "Yes, that's how it is calculated"

Zhao Chenghai snapped, emptied all the numbers on the calculation, and said, "After the year, the tractor broke down and became a pile of scrap iron, are we losing five thousand and a half of this account, why don't you understand that raising cattle is different, the cattle are dead, and there is still a pile of meat, or money"

Zhenhua was convinced, and turned away without saying a word.

"Don't run," Zhao Chenghai shouted behind his son.

"You can figure it out, I understand it, what else are you going to do" Zhenhua turned around angrily.

"Tell me about the bride price. Zhao Chenghai put the abacus back and said

"Next time you go to Zhuo Daying, tell your father-in-law clearly, the bride price is three thousand eight hundred and eight, and I will give it to Zhao Chenghai, although he is not rich, he is also a medium-sized family. I will have one son for you, and this is the only time to marry a daughter-in-law. You and Yilan Ming Media are marrying, and they are not sneaky, I also want to be beautiful, I don't want my in-laws to say that I am shabby, even if I am smashing pots and selling iron, I will make your marriage lively."

Zhenhua was very surprised, how could Dad be so generous this time

Zhao Chenghai smiled and said, "It's not okay to buy a tractor, don't mention it in the future." ”

Zhenhua thought about it, tested his father, and said, "Dad, if people take this bride price money and buy the tractor directly, and bring it over as a dowry when the time comes, what should you do if you return the tractor or smash the tractor?"

Zhao Chenghai snorted, "When the time comes, I will discuss it with your father-in-law, Lao Zhuo is not you, people have brains"

Zhenhua applauded, "Okay, dad, when the summer vacation comes, I will invite my father-in-law, your old man will have a good chat with him, he will definitely listen to you"

Zhao Chenghai glared, "Okay, I'll reason with him here, I'm still afraid that I can't talk to him"

"You are all reasonable people, so be reasonable. Zhenhua nodded again and again.

To be reasonable, Dad can't talk about Lao Zhuo, so Zhenhua is full of hope.

When the south wind brings wheat fragrance, it is the beginning of the lunch harvest of the year.

The gardenias in the village are blooming again, snow-white and fragrant day and night.

Zhuang Xiaodie, like last year, often sends gardenias to Zhenhua's mother and Chunlan, sometimes holding the child in her arms, and sometimes sneaking in while the child is sleeping.

Xiao Qi Shuai has been more than two months, he looks more and more cute, knows how to cry and laugh, and his big watery eyes are clear and bright.

That morning, Zhuang Xiaodie came to deliver flowers again, and said to Chunlan, "Chunlan, gardenias can be planted by cuttings, I cut dozens of branches yesterday and inserted them in my old water tank, and when those branches are alive, I will send you some over, you can find a place to plant them, and there will be gardenias next year." ”

Zhenhua heard it and smiled, "Fluttershy planted so many gardenias, do you want to be a flower girl in the future?"

Fluttershy sighed, "I'm afraid I can't sell the gardenias, so if I can, my family won't be so poor." ”

Zhenhua said, "Qi Lei earned so much last year, how poor he was"

Fluttershy shook her head, "What's the matter, Qi Lei didn't give a penny to his family this year, saying that the money on the construction site hasn't been settled yet." ”

Halfway through, Qi Lei came back twice, but he didn't have any money for his family.

Zhenhua comforts Fluttershy, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I'm afraid it's tens of thousands." ”

As he spoke, Zhenhua's father got up early and came back from the market, and said to Zhenhua, "Zhenhua, I brought a remittance slip from the town, you see, I'm afraid it's Qi Lei calling again, asking you to pass it on to Fluttershy." ”

Fluttershy is overjoyed, and her eyes gleam with excitement.

"How much," Zhenhua asked.

"Eight thousand. Zhao Chenghai took out the remittance slip and handed it to Zhenhua.

"Haha, I said yes" Zhenhua was happy for Qi Lei, and said to Fluttershy, "Look, I just said that it is tens of thousands of dollars in a settlement." Eight thousand, almost ten thousand"

There is a brief message on the money order for my mom and Fluttershy.

Fluttershy is overjoyed and says, "My brother, it's always a problem for you, so after you take this money, you can deduct 200 yuan to buy clothes." ”

Zhenhua smiled, "No, no, when Qi Lei comes back, I'll settle accounts with him"

"I went home and told my mother that Qi Shuai was still sleeping, and it was time to wake up. Fluttershy nods and runs home with a look of joy on her face.

Zhenhua looked at the remittance slip and sighed.

Qi Lei is really good, and in more than three months, he has earned so much

8,000 yuan, which can almost build three bungalows or four large tile houses, Zhuang Xiaodie and Lan Yuzhi's good days are really here.

Zhao Chenghai looked at his son's face, and said hesitantly, "Zhenhua, after you get married, you won't be a private teacher, and you will go to work with Qi Lei." Qi Lei is very happy with you, and the two of you partner to take on the project. ”

"Well, it's almost class, I'm going to school. Zhenhua looked at his watch, packed up and left.

Zhao Chenghai looked at his son's back and sighed. The 8,000 yuan sent back by Qi Lei is Zhenhua's salary for 100 months of teaching. 100 months, more than 8 years

Lan Yuzhi was surprised and delighted when she heard that Qi Lei had called back 8,000 yuan, and came to Zhenhua at noon, saying, "Zhenhua, don't be in a hurry to get the money now, the remittance slip will be put here for you first, and then you will go and get the money when the farm is over." At this time, it is not safe to get the money back and put it at home. ”

"Okay. Zhenhua nodded.

However, the farming is not over, Zhenhua has not had time to get this remittance, before the Dragon Boat Festival, Qi Lei's second remittance has arrived, and it is 8,000 again

This time, Qi Lei also sent a registered letter, in which he said to Zhenhua that Zhenhua would take the money and go to the wheel kiln factory in Heyuan Town to help him book 120,000 small red bricks, and in the autumn, he would come back to build 12 bungalows

This time, even Zhenhua was stunned.

Twelve bungalows, I'm afraid it takes forty or fifty thousand. The foundation is a little worse, and it will cost thirty or forty thousand.

In Dongwan Village or even Hedong Town, no one has the courage and financial resources to build twelve bungalows in one go
