"Grandma, why don't you go to live in the county seat with me and cook for me?" Luo Ning said coquettishly.

Grandma was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Where can I leave? If I leave, what will your father do? Who will cook for your father?"

Luo Ning thought about it, his father had never touched a spatula in his life, and he couldn't even cook rice, let alone cook. If grandma is not at home, grandpa and dad will be hungry. Although it was clear that Grandma didn't care about Grandpa and was even happy to make him hungry for a few days. But she couldn't watch her father starve, and she wouldn't leave.

Luo Ning was thinking about it, but he heard his uncle talking to his grandmother: "Mom, I'm also in the county seat, if you don't worry about Xiao Ning, why don't I follow her to see where her fourth uncle's house is? ”

Ye Qiuhua felt that her youngest son's words were almost in her heart, and nodded again and again: "Well, you go and take a look, so I can rest assured." Xiao Ning, when are you going to go to your fourth uncle?"

Luo Ning said: "Grandma, I'm going to go the afternoon after tomorrow." My brother is coming with me, you don't have to worry. Uncle still has to go to work, don't delay him. ”

Luo Zhenjie hurriedly said: "Xiao Ning, it's okay, I'll rest for the past two days." I'll go into town with you the afternoon after tomorrow. ”

Ye Qiuhua said yes again and again, Luo Ning no longer shirked, the uncle's attitude was a little strange, and he was too concerned about this matter. But she didn't think much about it, anyway, she would naturally know when the time came.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Luo Ning was waiting for Luo Fan and Uncle in the yard with a large schoolbag on his back. The uncle was talking to her in the grandmother's room at the moment, and he didn't need to listen to Luo Ning to know that he must have asked his grandmother for money. Sure enough, the uncle just came out with a smile on the front foot, and the grandmother came out with five yuan and handed it to Luo Ning: "Xiao Ning, you can take this money for dinner." The things outside are expensive, you have to bring more money. ”

Luo Ning didn't answer, patted his pocket: "Grandma, I have money, my dad gave me money." You can save this money for your own food!"

Ye Qiuhua frowned and said, "How much money can your father give you?" is definitely not enough, you can bring more." Take it!" he said, and stuffed the money into Luo Ning's hand.

Luo Ning didn't want her grandmother to worry, so she continued. Under the pretext of going to the toilet, while everyone was not paying attention, he quietly went to his grandmother's room and put fifty yuan in the place where she hid money. Luo Ning is very familiar with the corners where her grandmother hides money, and deliberately chooses a place that she doesn't use often. When my grandmother finds out after a while, she will probably think that she forgot about it.

Back in the courtyard, Luo Fan had already come, Luo Ning said goodbye to her grandmother, and her grandmother told her again.

This time, the three of them walked to the town, and after walking not far from the house, Luo Zhenjie asked, "Xiao Ning, I heard that your fourth uncle is doing business in the county now, isn't it?"

Luo Ning glanced at Luo Zhenjie: "Uncle, where did you hear that?"

Luo Zhenjie looked at her and said with some dissatisfaction: "Xiao Ning, you didn't call me for the business you did in the mountains last year." After all, you were in the mountains. But what kind of music class did you come up with later? Even though I'm at home, you don't look for me, and you go to your fourth uncle to find you? You're so uninteresting!"

Luo Ning smiled: "Uncle, why don't you want to think about why I don't dare to look for you?"

Luo Zhenjie's cheeks were slightly pausing, and he argued: "Yes, I admit that I was a little out of tune during that time. Xiao Ning, how can I say that it is also your uncle, we are a family. You can think of your fourth uncle if you have good things, and you should think about me too!"

"Uncle, what kind of work are you doing in the county now?" Luo Ning didn't answer, but asked.

"I work in a hotel. ”

"Oh, what exactly, the front desk, the guest rooms, the cleaning, or the administration?" Luo Ning continued to ask.

"It's the front desk, which is responsible for the guests checking in and checking out or something, it's very easy. Luo Zhenjie is obviously quite satisfied with this job, "It's just that the salary is not too high, only 30 yuan a month, which is not enough for me to spend." ”

"Uncle, have you ever thought about what you are going to do in the future, do you plan to live like this in this life?" Luo Ning asked as he walked ahead.

Luo Zhenjie was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Luo Ning to ask him such a question, he never seemed to think about what he wanted to do in the future, he just felt dissatisfied with his current life, but if he wanted to ask him how he could change, he couldn't answer.

He thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it, and I don't know what I want to do." All I know is that I don't want to stay in this little place for the rest of my life, I want to get out, but I don't know where to go, and I don't have any money. If I had money, I would go wherever I wanted, and I would travel all over China. Well, I want a better life, I want to have money!"

Luo Ning somewhat understood Luo Zhenjie's thoughts, because she was the same in her previous life. "Uncle, it's good to be rich, but it's too superficial! Suppose you have money and you've played all over the place, then what? Do you have any other goals?"

Luo Zhenjie thought about it again, seemed to think of something, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and then disappeared again, replaced by a lonely look: "Alas, don't say it." ”

Luo Ning didn't ask any more questions, and just walked silently.

After being silent for a while, Luo Zhenjie finally couldn't help it: "Luo Ning, in fact, I have something to ask you for help today." ”

Luo Ning looked up at Uncle Xiao and thought to herself: "It's finally here!" She made a surprised expression: "Uncle, how can I help you?"

Luo Zhenjie said: "You can lend me some money, I know you have money." ”

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Uncle, how much money do you need to borrow?" ”

Luo Zhenjie immediately said: "At least two hundred yuan is needed." ”

"Two hundred yuan, uncle, are you not mistaken? You asked me to borrow two hundred yuan? How could I have so much money as a primary school student?" Luo Ning said.

Luo Zhenjie blushed a little: "I know you don't." But your parents, and your fourth uncle, any one of them. You can borrow it from them for me!"

Luo Ning really thinks that Luo Zhenjie's face is thick enough, and he can say such things? Let her a nine-year-old child borrow money for him, or is it as much as two hundred yuan?

"Uncle, do you think they can give me that much money? If my dad knows, he will have to kill me. ”

"If you can't look for your father, then you can find your mother! Why don't you look for your fourth uncle? He happens to be in the county seat, and when I go to him in a while, you ask him to borrow it. I'm really in a hurry, Xiao Ning. Luo Zhenjie continued.

Luo Ning wanted to see what Luo Zhenjie wanted to do, why did he need so much money, did he start gambling again, did he lose money, or something else? She didn't refuse, but said, "Okay, I'll help you ask." But I can't guarantee it! Think about it, who would lend that much money to a child? unless you ask my fourth uncle to borrow it. ”

Luo Zhenjie nodded and said, "As long as you take me to your fourth uncle, I will borrow it from him myself." ”

Luo Fan didn't understand Luo Ning's approach, but he had always listened to Luo Ning, although he was strange in his heart, he didn't say anything. He believed that Luo Ning must have her reasons, just look at it.
