When he arrived at the bookstore, Lin Xi took Chu Sheng to find textbooks. Chu Sheng came to the bookstore for the first time, looking at the cabinets full of books, he was overjoyed, staring at the neatly arranged books in the cabinets, and looked carefully. Lin Xi looked at these professional books and pulled him to another bookcase, which was full of comic books. Chu Sheng was attracted by the villain book and stood there without moving. Lin Xi asked him to read it slowly, and went to find the textbook himself.

There are not many types of books in the bookstore, and textbooks are still easy to buy, Lin Xi bought books from the third and fourth grades, and saw a stack of bundled books in the corner, and a thin layer of dust had fallen on his face. Lin Xi identified it, and on the cover it was written "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", isn't this the classic review material that everyone sought after after the resumption of the college entrance examination! Lin Xi decided to buy it. She beckoned the salesman to come over, and the clerk knew that she was going to buy this set of books, so she looked at Lin Xi in surprise and asked, "You are an educated youth, right?" Lin Xi nodded, wondering in his heart, do you still ask for identity when you buy a book? The clerk smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you, no one asks about this book, it's been here for a long time, and you know the youth and like to read, so you will buy it." There are three sets left, how many sets do you want?" Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "Give it all to me!" The clerk smiled and bent his eyes, took the book, shook off the dust, wrapped it in kraft paper, and handed it to Lin Xi. Lin Xi said: "I still have to buy a few villain books and pay for them together." ”

Chu Sheng was happy when he saw that Lin Xi was going to buy himself a villain book, but he also knew that it would cost money, so he pulled Lin Xi's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't waste money." Lin Xi patted Chu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Reading can be reasonable, and the money spent on books is worth it, understand?" Chu Sheng looked at Lin Xi and nodded as if he didn't understand. Lin Xi bought two sets of villain books, plus textbooks and three sets of books, a whole stack. The clerk helped her wrap it in kraft paper and tie it with a rope, and Lin Xi carried it, which was quite heavy.

Once the account is settled, it is more than eight dollars. Lin Xi paid the money and pulled the startled Chu Sheng away. Chu Sheng has never seen this money since he was a child, as soon as Sister Lin Xi made a move, the money was gone, the little guy felt heartache, looked at Lin Xi with a calm face, and didn't know what to say.

Lin Xi no longer explained to him, and took him to the supply and marketing cooperative, luckily, the supply and marketing cooperatives supply meat today, and the queue is quite long. Lin Xi glanced at it and also lined up in the line. Chu Sheng asked timidly: "Sister, this still needs a meat ticket." Lin Xi asked him, "Do you want to eat meat?" Chu Sheng hesitated for a long time, not daring to nod. He really spent a lot of money today, and he didn't dare to speak. Lin Xi ignored him and lined up quietly. When it was Lin Xi's turn, Lin Xi picked a piece of pork belly and asked for a big bone. After paying the meat ticket and money, there were still some gross tickets left in the envelope that Lin Xi brought. Chu Sheng was carrying the meat, Lin Xi took him to visit the supply and marketing cooperative, Chu Sheng said that he wouldn't buy anything, and pulled Lin Xi outside. made Lin Xi laugh, Chu Sheng's face turned red, and he muttered in his heart: Sister is too good at spending money, what can I do?

The little guy watched closely, Lin Xi finally bought a few stamps and envelopes, and took Chu Sheng to the small restaurant for dinner. Chu Sheng wanted to refuse, Lin Xi turned his face and said solemnly: "Chu Sheng, you are a man, what is a man?" Remember, in the future, when girls buy things and go to restaurants, you can only say good, not no." Do you understand?" Chu Sheng didn't understand Lin Xi's crooked reasoning, and said in his heart, I have seen you as a girl who can spend money like this, if you change to other girls in the village, you will definitely have a beating when you go home. Later, I thought about it again: If my sister wants to buy it, I can buy it, my sister is different from other girls.

There were no particularly expensive dishes in the restaurant, Lin Xi ordered two bowls of noodles, and Chu Sheng and the two were full, and slowly walked towards the meeting place.

The villagers gradually gathered, and everyone carried something in their hands. The things I bought are basically daily necessities, and it is rare to have villagers who have enough money to buy some small snacks to take back to coax their children. The meat in Chu Sheng's hand was particularly eye-catching, and several villagers cast envious glances. There was also a villager who was also carrying a piece of meat in his hand, and when he saw that they had also bought meat, he talked to them, and saw a stack of books in Lin Xi's hand, and sighed: "You educated young people are still educated, these books should not be eaten or worn, and they are expensive, so we are not willing to spend money on them." ”

Chu Sheng puffed up his chest and said, "My sister said that reading can be reasonable." It's worth it no matter what you spend. The crowd was amused by him, and someone said, "Boy, study hard, don't spend all this money in vain." ”

As he was talking, a sharp female voice rang out: "Yo, what to learn, if you don't even understand a rule, what else can you learn?" Oops, I bought meat. Your life is getting more and more prosperous now, and you have even bought meat, and your brother hasn't smelled meat for a few days. You have good things, but remember to honor your elders and younger brothers. Jin Cui took her son and stood aside to speak, and her words couldn't hide the sour taste. As soon as he left the Chu family, the little rabbit cub wore new clothes and ate meat, and the days were getting better and better, which made Jin Cui very angry. Chu Sheng glared at Jin Cui angrily and said, "Where did I get the money to buy meat? ”

"Lin Zhiqing, this is what you bought, this meat is really good. The life of your educated youth is much more comfortable than that of us countrymen. Jin Cui's eyes on people made Lin Xi very uncomfortable.

Lin Xi was really speechless about Jin Cui, she had also seen people with no skin and no face, but she had never seen such a thick-skinned person. Lin Xi directly scolded back: "Of course I bought it, did you leave anything for Chu Sheng when your family drove people out?" ”

Jin Cui's eyes fell on the flesh, and he couldn't move away: "Since you can give it to him, let my family Bao'er also stain it!"

Lin Xi looked at her like a fool and said, "Why?"

"Look at you, why are you so stingy, you can give this kid food, why can't you take my Bao'er, my Bao'er has a lot more conscience than him, you give Bao'er food, Bao'er also thinks of your good, isn't it? No matter how much you give the white-eyed wolf food, no matter how good you are to him, he won't remember. "Jin Cui understands those educated youths, thin-skinned, and good-looking, pestering them for a while, and they will give it.

Lin Xi wouldn't get used to her, he looked at Chu Sheng, who was flushed with anger, touched his head soothingly, and said, "I'm sorry for this kid who has no father or mother, so I take care of it a little more." If your Bao'er is like him, then I will also be kind and give him a mouthful. Jin Cui didn't expect this educated youth to look weak, and when she spoke, she didn't show virtue on her lips, and actually cursed her, just when she was about to rush over and smoke this girl, Chu Sheng dodged, stretched out his arms, blocked in front of Lin Xi, and said viciously: "If you dare to touch my sister, I will fight with you." "The child is small, but he is like a hen who protects her cubs, even if he knows that he is not Jin Cui's opponent, he can't watch his sister being bullied. Lin Xi looked at Chu Sheng's appearance and felt that he didn't hurt this child in vain.

Chu Sheng's reddened eyes were full of angry flames, and Jin Cui, who was staring at her, was furious in her heart, and muttered to herself: This rabbit cub is so bold that he dares to stare at her, and he didn't squeak when he was beaten at home before. She also wanted to go up and tear Chu Sheng, but was stopped by the villagers on the side. At this moment, the tractor drove over, and Jin Cui had to stop.

Until he got in the car, the anger in Jin Cui's heart was still burning, looking at Chu Sheng and Lin Xi talking with their heads down, Jin Cui said coldly: "Little rabbit cub, you really think that people are good to you, if they are really good to you, they will take you to the house to raise you." Now it's just to see you stutter like a cat and a dog, and you take it seriously. ”

Lin Xi was also so angry that he wanted to go back. The old lady on the side opened her mouth: "As soon as you open your mouth, it will be thirty yuan, who would dare to take him in." If you can't find anyone to adopt Chu Sheng, the child will have to be raised by your family, and it's not good to trouble Dr. Song all the time. ”

Jin Cui's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she finally drove away the plague god, but she couldn't get it back. That kid still owes the medicine fee and hasn't paid it! Chu Sheng's face also changed, knowing that Dr. Song was kind-hearted and took him in, but it was impossible to live like this forever. Chu Sheng bowed his head and said nothing, hiding the uneasiness in his heart.

Lin Xi was silent, and was also thinking about the possibility of taking in Chu Sheng, in case Chu Sheng was adopted by someone from another village, how could she complete the system task, the best way was to keep Chu Sheng by her side, but her current state was not suitable for taking him in.

For a moment, the car was quiet.

After returning to the village, Jin Cui hurriedly returned home, and when he said the old lady's words, Uncle Chu's face was not good-looking. The old lady is an elder in the village, and she won't say such things for no reason, so it's not that the older generation in the village has some ideas. Third Uncle Chu didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he discussed with his two sons for a long time and went to find the Tang branch secretary. Tang Zhishu was annoyed when he saw this family, and asked angrily: "Is there something wrong with me?"

Ergen leaned over with a hippie smile: "Uncle, that's the case, I just want to ask Chu Sheng what to do? Have you found someone?"

"Find a fart, my legs are thin, and people are not happy when they hear that you want thirty. Speaking of this, Tang Jianguo was angry.

Third Uncle Chu opened his mouth: "Brother, we know that this matter is troublesome to you, so let's discuss it at home, let's lower the money a little, how about twenty?"

Tang Jianguo glanced around the Chu family and asked, "You go and inquire yourself, twenty yuan, is anyone willing?" Your child is ten years old, not two or three years old. I'll tell you that if no one adopts them, you'll have to take care of the child. ”

When Ergen heard this, he became anxious: "Uncle, how about fifteen, fifteen? Tang Jianguo didn't even give them a look, and drank tea by himself. Ergen and Third Uncle were silent for a while, the two glanced at each other, and finally Ergen stomped his feet and said, "Ten yuan, ten yuan is always okay, it can't be less." ”

Tang Jianguo pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask again." ”

As soon as the Chu family left, Tang Jianguo's daughter-in-law Liu Chunyan came out, took a sip on the ground, and said angrily: "Who is this family, when this child is a vegetable in the field, he is still bargaining like this." A bunch of things without a conscience. Tang Jianguo was much calmer about his daughter-in-law's righteous indignation: "Most of that Chu Sheng is not the Chu family's species, otherwise, he can't do things like this." ”

Liu Chunyan was shocked when she heard this: "No, Dagen's daughter-in-law is also a responsible person, and she doesn't look like that unruly person." "I don't know, forget it, don't spread it. Tang Jianguo told his daughter-in-law.
