Chapter 31: Tangled
After the summer, He Ruxue picked up her daughter from her hometown and prepared to go to kindergarten, because she often asked He Rulan to take care of Xiaonan, He Ruxue had to give He Rulan 200 yuan every month to pay for kindergarten tuition and monthly living expenses.
He Rulan pushed and asked not to, the kindergarten tuition fee is only fifty or sixty yuan per month, and it is a lot to give a hundred, not to mention that Xiaonan can't spend much money on herself.
He Ruxue knew that her sister's salary in the railway school was not high, and it was only more than 200 yuan a month, so she came back from her own study and was rated as an attending physician, with a monthly salary of more than 400, how could she let He Rulan bother to help and have to post her own money?
Sun Shilu often helps to pick up Xiaonan, the enthusiasm is particularly high, when there is no one in private, Sun Shilu calculates an account for He Rulan, if the two hundred yuan given by He Ruxue, plus one hundred of them from the salary, save four hundred a month, it will be four thousand eight in a year, and five thousand plus interest, and ten thousand yuan in two years.
"Ten thousand, when we get married, it will be 10,000 yuan!" Sun Shilu's eyes lit up with excitement, as if he had seen a thick pile of money in front of him.
"It's too much to save four hundred, it's not enough to keep more than one hundred living expenses, and besides, the two hundred that my sister gave, it's going to be spent on Xiaonan, how can you use it?"
"Why are you so desperate? Our sister has said it, in addition to paying childcare fees, there is also Xiaonan's usual food and drink, and the rest is your hard work, I can't find such a responsible nanny for spending money these years, our sister doesn't lose!"
"Pull it down, I'm Xiaonan's second aunt, what a nanny!" He Rulan was a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, you are your aunt, I am my aunt!" Sun Shilu accepted the lesson of the last time, He Rulan looked docile on the surface, but she was not so easy to fool in her bones.
At He Rulan's insistence, the two of them took out 100 yuan from their salaries, saved 200 yuan a month, and kept it for future marriage expenses.
Although Sun Shilu has a lot of small problems and serious habits in the countryside, he has been good to He Rulan for the past year, especially in the second half of the year, he often helps to pick up Xiaonan, and even Xiaonan has begun to call him his second aunt and father.
In the winter of 1990, ballroom dancing suddenly became popular in society, and the railway area was not far behind, and every unit had to hold a dance party on weekend nights, and young people flocked to it, and middle-aged and elderly people also followed.
He Rulan actually doesn't like dancing at all, she doesn't have such an elegant hobby, what does it mean to pull and pull? But Sun Shilu has no choice but to like it, he has just been promoted to the secretary of the general branch of the Youth League, and he has to take the lead in building spiritual civilization.
He Rulan is at best Sun Shilu's companion, the funny thing is that He Rulan has already learned, Sun Shilu is still stiff and uncoordinated, although he is thin and tall, Sun Shilu dances and stiffens his whole body, pouts back, leans forward, and stretches his neck, not to mention how ugly it is.
If He Rulan can not go to the dance party on the weekend, she really doesn't like it for a while, and the second is that she really can't afford to lose that person, she doesn't want to see Sun Shilu think that he is flying all over the field with an ugly look.
It's New Year's Day soon, and the principal said that all the teachers must participate in the New Year's Day ball, because the leaders of the temporary management office will also come to guide the work, and there will be more people.
It was He Ruxue's turn to rest and take Xiao Nan back to Ruyi Town, He Rulan had no excuse but to simply clean up and come to the dance with Sun Shilu.
Don't look at He Rulan's face to the sky, she never dresses up, and she doesn't dress fashionably, but that day Luo Xiaojun heard that she was going to the ball, so she had to help He Rulan clean up.
Luo Xiaojun's figure is about the same as He Rulan's, even the size of her shoes is the same, and He Rulan wore Luo Xiaojun's coffee-colored tweed dress and black high leather boots to the dance party that night.
Luo Xiaojun also took out his lipstick and helped He Rulan rub it, He Rulan felt that it was too red, so she secretly wiped off a layer, and just like that, she still looked fair-skinned and her red lips were delicate.
Sun Shilu was amazed when he saw He Rulan wearing light makeup for the first time, and said incoherently excitedly, "Rulan, you will often wear makeup in the future, okay...... Good looking!"
In this way, the two of them went out hand in hand, and when they arrived at the school dance, He Rulan took off her coat, and even Gu Mengmeng was stunned, "Teacher He, you are foreign enough! Coffee-colored long skirt with a simple high-necked white sweater, it is simply full of intellectual style!"
He Rulan was a little embarrassed, usually she was always obscure, never showing mountain dew, let Luo Xiaojun clean up like this, but it gave people a sense of amazement, being watched by everyone, He Rulan suddenly felt a little at a loss.
The dance party began, Gu Mengmeng and the others walked off the dance floor one after another and began to dance, Sun Shilu was the first to bear the brunt, worthy of the name full of flying, although the female teachers were reluctant to dance with him, not only did they dance ugly, but they often stepped on the feet of their dance partners, but because the school leaders and superior leaders were there, the invited people could not refuse Sun Shilu, so they could only cooperate with him to dance a song.
He Rulan has no intention of dancing at all, she has been sitting at the table next to the dance floor in a daze, with this kung fu, it is better to read a book in the dormitory and rest, He Rulan is really not suitable for this kind of occasion, she is like sitting on pins and needles there.
Gu Mengmeng and Wang Xuejiao are really generous, not only dancing well, but also enthusiastically and actively inviting the leaders to dance together, He Rulan thought to herself that she really couldn't do this kind of thing, didn't the book say that dancing is all about men inviting women?
While thinking about it there, Sun Shilu finally got tired of dancing and came over to sit next to her to rest.
"Why don't you dance? Didn't you learn it? Look at the people, they all take the initiative to invite the leader to dance, which one is like you sitting here!" Sun Shilu complained, "Wait for me to rest for a while, I'll dance with you, right?"
Before He Rulan could say anything, Sun Shilu rushed to the leader's seat again, nodded and poured water for several leaders and took fruit.
He Rulan really couldn't get used to seeing Sun Shilu's appearance of being inflammatory, so she stood up and prepared to put on her coat and leave early.
"Where are you going? Hurry up, Director Shao from the temporary management office just now specifically asked about you, saying that you have been paying attention to you for a long time, hurry up and come with me and dance with Director Shao!" Sun Shilu came from behind and grabbed He Rulan.
"Who do you think of me?" He Rulan became angry when she heard this, she shook off Sun Shilu's hand, put on her coat, picked up her hand and left without looking back.
