Chapter Eighty-Eight: No Regrets After Working Hard
Li Xinke really wanted to tell Teacher Hua that Tu Yiming didn't ask for money.
But after thinking about it, I still didn't say anything.
After dinner, Li Xinke and Li Shanshan took Zhu Zige's car and returned to Meiling Village.
Cha Shijun drove the car and sent Bu Xiurong and Qiao Tiantian back.
Because Bu Xiurong's home is still far from the highway, that night, she rested at Qiao Tiantian's house.
Li Xinke returned home and took a shower to rest.
When I woke up the next day, I was busy carrying buckets, and I went to Menglanxi Reservoir with Li Shanshan to buy fish.
Along the way, the two sisters talked and laughed, and they didn't feel tired no matter how far they walked.
In a few days, Li Xinke will go to high school in the county seat. Li Shanshan will continue to study in the village's primary school, but she is more cheerful than before this holiday.
When I saw a stranger, not only did I not hide from it, but I would occasionally answer a few words.
This made Li Xin visible and felt a little relieved.
As long as my sister is willing to communicate with others, that's fine.
On the way to Menglanxi Reservoir, I occasionally met a few masters who drove tractors, and Li Xinke and Li Shanshan met and would not wave to stop the car.
When passing by a small shop, Li Xinke smiled and asked Li Shanshan, "Do you drink Coke? I'll buy two bottles." ”
"I'm a little thirsty, you better buy mineral water, let's drink some of them, just drink a bottle." Li Shanshan raised her eyebrows, looked at Li Xinke, and said.
Li Xinke listened, so she went to the small shop, bought a large bottle of pure water, and drank some with Li Shanshan.
Standing on the side of the road, you can meet people who come to the shop to buy things.
Li Xinke only heard one woman say:
"I heard that the owner of the tea factory in Meiling Village, the director of the cloth factory, and his daughter-in-law have separated......
"Ah, isn't it?" and a woman, dressed in a pale green shirt and black trousers. She asked, looking at the woman beside her with a stunned expression.
"Oh, what are you busy with every day? Don't you go out of the gate? These days, aren't the people in the village talking about their family? They say that the man who has no conscience in the cloth factory has made a fortune by relying on his brother-in-law, and he doesn't say anything about repaying his kindness, but he still loses his temper at home and beats his daughter-in-law......
The woman pursed her lips and said:
"Those men, they are all virtuous. With money, it goes bad. ”
The woman in green shook her head and said:
"In the past few days, I really don't go to the door, and I haven't heard about it. But I had met the cloth factory manager and had a few dealings with him. He doesn't look like that kind of person to me......"
The woman smiled mockingly, and asked the woman beside her:
"It's not like that kind of person, so will his daughter-in-law go back to her parents' house? His mother-in-law will let his children change their surnames?"
The woman in green said:
"The mother-in-law of the cloth factory manager is not a very good person to get along with. I've heard all of this happen. Then there are Mrs. Tu's two sons, who don't have children yet. There must be a reason why she asked the children of the cloth factory to change their surnames. ”
When the woman heard this, she said no more.
Li Xinke and Li Shanshan stood under a cypress tree on the side of the road. One drank some pure water and rested for a while before continuing on.
Half an hour later.
Li Xinke and Li Shanshan rushed to the Menglanxi Reservoir, and after buying fish in the boss's shop, the proprietress cut a watermelon and gave it to Li Xinke and the two sisters to eat.
A few customers went to buy fish and talked about the cloth director's house.
One customer said: "I heard that the brother-in-law of the cloth factory is going to open a hotel for his sister, saying that he wants to invest millions to open a better hotel." ”
"Yo, that's really rich. A woman heard this and exclaimed.
"Money? Not his money. It's his money. ”
A trace of disdain flashed in the customer's eyes, and he said:
"How embarrassed is a big man to let his family support him and his family?"
When the proprietress who contracted the reservoir heard this, she gave the man a look, which meant that she wanted to remind the person: Aren't there two little girls here in my shop?
What are you talking about here?
The customer also understood what the proprietress meant, so he stopped talking.
The proprietress of the reservoir knew that Li Xinke was about to start school, so she sent a few more small fish to Li Xinke and said:
"It's not easy to get into the county high school. If you get in, study hard. If you do business or something, you can wait for you to do it when you are older, without delay. ”
Li Xinke smiled knowingly and said to the proprietress: "Okay, thank you." ”
When I got home from the reservoir, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
When she came back, Li Xinke found her mother and her grandmother sitting in the living room, looking at the group photo she and Qiao Tiantian had taken.
Li Xinke greeted them with a smile and carried the bucket into the kitchen.
I saw a lot of dishes on the stove, and I also made fish hot pot.
Smelling the smell of vegetables, Li Xinke felt even more hungry. fetched water, washed hands with Li Shanshan, and helped serve the food.
Du Muhao and Xiang Changqi also walked into the kitchen, Xiang Changqi served rice, and Du Muhao brought the fish hot pot to the living room.
When several people were sitting at the dining table to eat, Li Shanshan saw that her grandfather was not eating at home, so she glanced at her grandmother suspiciously, and asked:
"Grandma, why didn't grandpa come to dinner?"
Xiang Changqi took chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of fish for Li Shanshan, and said:
"When your grandfather went to the commissary to buy something, he happened to come across a truck that brought fertilizer or something to the Zhang family's store. ”
Zhang Zuojia's father was not at home, and Zhang Zuojia's mother carried fertilizer alone. ”
"When your grandfather saw it, he went over with Zhang Zuojia's grandfather to help and took a hand. ”
"After a while, Zhang Zuojia's father came back, came to the house, and invited your grandfather to dinner. ”
Li Shanshan listened and nodded knowingly, "Okay." ”
Xiang Changqi also sandwiched a piece of fish for Li Xinke, and asked Li Xinke with a smile:
"Ke Ke'er, you and Qiao Tiantian, and another girl took a photo, which was taken in the place where you went to travel? The house in that place is so beautiful, just like I saw on TV. ”
"yes, Grandma. That's where we've traveled, Lingyan Ancient City. ”
Li Xinke smiled and said:
"When I make money, I invite my grandparents and my mother to go out to see the scenery. ”
"What?" When Xiang Changqi heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said:
"I'll tell you the truth, just looking at this photo you paid for, I was distressed and panicked. You still have to pay us to travel, that's a lot of money, there's no place to spend it, right?"
Du Muhao glanced at Chang Qi embarrassedly and said:
"Mom, times are different. In the past, when Ke Keer and Shanshan's father and I were studying in the county seat, my classmates were excited to take a group photo of the class. Not to mention, young people nowadays. Besides, Coke earned her own money to take pictures, so it's nothing. ”
"If she earns it herself, she also has to save some flowers. You see, she can only earn some money during the holidays, and when she goes to school, she can't earn money. You need to save a little money to be enough. ”
Xiang Changqi squinted and smiled, and explained patiently.
Li Xinke knew that her grandmother persuaded her for her sake. Busy smiled and nodded, and told grandmother:
"Grandma I'm right, that's it. In the future, I want to save some money. ”
As soon as he heard this, Xiang Changqi was happy.
Sure enough, her two precious granddaughters are still quite sensible.
