When Qin Ruhai came over, the three of them had breakfast and began to divide labor.

Chen Fang didn't want to go to Zhang Luo Zhanban anymore because of what happened last time, so she stayed at home because she was unwell.

Qin Ruhai saw her thoughts, rode to the county seat with Liu Ping, and said to Chen Fang before leaving that they would not come back until the evening, and if they didn't want to make lunch, they would go to Li Ergen's house. And Chen Fang said not to go to the advertising shop last time, change to a new custom, this time must not make a mistake.

It was close to noon that they arrived at the county seat.

They found a random restaurant, and after lunch, they went to a nearby advertising shop, explained the requirements, told them not to make mistakes, sat back and felt bored, and then went to the mall together.

Passing by the women's clothing area, Liu Ping seemed to have taken a fancy to a dress, stopped and watched, but she didn't dare to try it on and ask the price, looking very hesitant.

Qin Ruhai noticed this, pushed Liu Ping over, and urged her to try it on, and buy it if it was suitable.

Liu Ping couldn't resist the temptation and took the skirt into the fitting room.

After a while, he stood in front of the mirror and asked Qin Ruhai's opinion.

Qin Ruhai felt that it was very suitable for her figure and temperament, so she said that she would put it on and take it off.

But the price asked made Liu Ping's face change.

Qin Ruhai proudly took out a wad of money and handed it over, saying that this is it, and he wants a small packing.

Liu Ping knew that this trumpet was bought for Chen Fang, but felt that it was inappropriate to wear the same style of skirt, so she hurriedly dissuaded her and said that she would choose another style.

Qin Ruhai felt that he was lacking in consideration, so he begged Liu Ping to choose a different one for Chen Fang, preferably not a skirt or something.

Finally, at Liu Ping's suggestion, Qin Ruhai bought Chen Fang a pair of high heels at the same price.

After calculating these two things, a total of more than six hundred was spent, but Qin Ruhai didn't feel wasteful and extravagant at all, and always felt that it was far from enough to do this. Before going out, they hurriedly turned back and bought a shirt for Li Ergen and Yu Xiumei from the elderly clothing area, but no matter how Liu Ping persuaded him, Qin Ruhai just didn't agree to buy anything for himself.

They spent nearly a thousand dollars on this trip, but they didn't bother and break their minds about it. After walking out of the mall, they saw that it was still early, so they went to Peony Park together.

The two walked side by side, talking about Liu Ping's two younger brothers, completely unaware that someone was secretly watching them.

After staying in the park for a while, I rushed to the advertising shop again.

This time, the material they chose was not acrylic, but ordinary foam, and after sitting there for a while, more than a dozen display panels were ready.

Liu Ping felt a little rough and simple, so she asked for a wooden frame to be added, and they were limited to send it to the greenhouse site before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

After saying that, they rode to their home.

Passing by the gate of the county middle school, Qin Ruhai saw Zhang Yaxin squatting at the school gate alone, looking like she had been bullied by others, without any energy, with her head down, holding her cheeks, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Ruhai stopped the car, asked Liu Ping to stand in place and wait for him, quickly ran to Zhang Yaxin, and asked nervously and concernedly: "Yaxin, why are you here alone, have you eaten?"

Zhang Yaxin saw them strolling around in the park, and then lost them and returned to school worried. Later, the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and I wanted to go home and was afraid that my parents would blame me, so I was hesitating there, and happened to be seen by Qin Ruhai.

Seeing that it was Qin Ruhai, who was haunted by her dreams, Zhang Yaxin suddenly fell into his arms without saying a word, and soon cried into tears, and more and more teachers and students surrounded her.

Liu Ping saw the movement, hurriedly ran over, separated the crowd and squeezed in. "Brother Qin, what's wrong, who is she?"

"It's my sister Yaxin, I just saw her squatting here alone, so I didn't worry about it, so I came to take a look. ”

Liu Ping heard that it was Zhang Cunshun's daughter, and she was a little nervous and uneasy, but it was not easy to stop and persuade, so she walked back to the motorcycle.

When everyone heard that it was his sister, they dispersed one after another.

Qin Ruhai pushed Zhang Yaxin away and asked nervously: "Yaxin, you speak, tell me who bullied you." ”

Zhang Yaxin slowly raised her head and muttered in a low voice, "Brother Ruhai, who was that woman just now, and why are you with her?"

Qin Ruhai smiled and said: "Silly sister, she is the Liu Ping I told you before, it stands to reason that you should call her sister! Tell me why are you squatting outside alone, have you eaten, when are you going to study at night?"

Zhang Yaxin wiped away her tears and said, "Not yet, can you take me back to the village, I miss home." ”

Qin Ruhai was afraid of delaying her study, so she asked, "Yaxin, it's only Sunday today, didn't you just go back yesterday?

"I haven't been home for two weeks, and I haven't eaten yet, can you stay and leave with me tomorrow?"

Qin Ruhai hesitated and said: "Yaxin, come with me to dinner now, and send you back after eating, you are a sophomore in high school, and you will meet the college entrance examination in another year, how can you casually ask for leave and go home?"

"Forget it, you guys go back, I'm going back to study at night. ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the school gate.

Qin Ruhai hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up, grabbed her and said, "Yaxin, be obedient, go eat with me first, how can you study hungry?"

Zhang Yaxin asked with teary eyes: "Brother Ruhai, can you not go back tonight?" I want to talk to you. ”

Qin Ruhai saw that Liu Ping was there, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, can you go to dinner with us now?"

Zhang Yaxin burst into tears and laughed, took his hand and said, "Well, you are still good to me, where are we going to eat and what are we going to eat?"

Qin Ruhai was afraid that Liu Ping would misunderstand, so he slowly withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "I know a restaurant, the food there tastes okay, you go and ask for leave first, we will wait for you outside." ”

Zhang Yaxin hurriedly turned around and ran into the campus with a promise, much more energetic than before.

When Zhang Yaxin walked away, Liu Ping asked Qin Ruhai: "Brother Qin, Fangfang is still waiting for us to go back at home, do you really plan to stay in the county seat for one night?"

Qin Ruhai said helplessly: "Yaxin is emotionally unstable, you also saw it just now, she is squatting outside alone, and she hasn't eaten dinner until now, and she wants me to take her home, saying that she hasn't been back for two weeks, tonight we will find an opportunity to persuade her, now that it is a critical period, we can't delay our studies." ”

Liu Ping asked tentatively: "Brother Qin, why do I see that Yaxin is very close to you? It stands to reason that you shouldn't be so close?"

Qin Ruhai blushed and explained: "I grew up with her, and when everyone hated bullying me, she would always stand behind and defend me everywhere. Although I don't deal with Zhang Baldzi, I have always treated her as my little sister, and I never thought of deliberately alienating this relationship. She is now in her second year of high school, and she will face the college entrance examination in another year, and seeing that she is emotionally unstable, I want to stay and persuade her well, so as not to delay her studies if she is cranky. She and Xiaoli are the only high school students in our village, and they can be said to be the hope of the whole village, hoping that they can step out of the mountains and enter the university campus and set a good example for other children. ”

Seeing that Liu Ping couldn't persuade him, he sighed and said: "Brother Qin, you have to think clearly, she is Zhang Cunshun's pearl in the palm of her hand, I advise you to keep a certain distance from her, so as not to cause Zhang Cunshun to misunderstand again." Fangfang told me about the day you went back to the village together, alas, I don't know what to say, you can do it yourself!"

Qin Ruhai sighed and said: "I can't let go of that heart, whenever I am full of despair about life, she will encourage and comfort, and for a while I wondered if she was Zhang Cunshun's daughter." Zhang Cunshun is vicious, but she is kind and generous, not like a father and daughter at all. I have a grudge against Zhang Baldzi, but she is innocent, I don't want to become indifferent and alienated with her because of this, no matter what happens in the future, from the current point of view, I really can't be ruthless to her like that. ”

Liu Ping saw that he was reminded of his sad past, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Brother Qin, you said that we won't go back, will Fangfang be angry, is it safe for her to be at home alone?"

Qin Ruhai said: "I'll explain to her tomorrow, alas, there is no way to notify her now, I can only hope that she will go to sleep at her godfather's house!"

Liu Ping wanted to say that the village committee had a phone, so why don't you call Chen Fang to say it, but then she thought that she was now in conflict with Zhang Cunshun, so she still didn't ask him to do well.

Qin Ruhai saw Zhang Yaxin trotting over, so he started the motorcycle and waved to her.

With the lesson of the last time, Zhang Yaxin took the initiative to sit in the back row this time.

Liu Ping heard about what happened that day, and sat in the middle without much excuse, but she didn't hug Qin Ruhai's waist either.

Qin Ruhai took them to the restaurant where she and Chen Fang had been that day.

After everyone sat down, Liu Ping asked Zhang Yaxin: "Yaxin, I've heard of you before, and today is the first time we've met, what were you thinking about just now when you squatted at the school gate?"

Zhang Yaxin pretended to be calm and said: "Sister Ping, I have been busy with schoolwork recently, and I haven't been home for two weeks. ”

Liu Ping asked again: "If you really want to go back, take a day off tomorrow, and we will go back together." ”

"Sister Ping, what are you doing in the county seat?"

"I'm still working overtime to make a few display boards for the cooperative, and we'll go back together tomorrow. ”

"Forget it, I'm going to face the monthly exam in a few days, I have to review and prepare, and I'll go back this Saturday!"

"Oh, it's still important to learn. I heard that there is also a person named Xiaoli who came with you, why aren't you with her?"

"I wasn't in the same class as her, and I had made an appointment to go to the cafeteria for dinner today, but she went to celebrate her classmate's birthday, so I was left alone. By the way, Sister Fang, why didn't she come down with you, has she already gone home?"

"She's at home waiting for us to go back! ”

"Oh yes, we don't have cell phones. ”

"I have inquired, the minimum cost of a mobile phone in the urban area is more than 2,000, and there are very few sold in the county, which is really backward. ”

"When I make money, I'll buy one for everyone so I can stay in touch at any time. ”

"Brother Qin, you're not kidding, how much should it cost?"

"You have also seen that Fangfang is waiting stupidly at home, and we can't contact her, in case something goes wrong, how can we rest assured! I'm serious, when I earn money this time, I'll buy one for everyone, even if it costs eighteen thousand, as long as it's easy to contact, I'm willing to spend this money." ”

"Brother Hai, there will be more places to spend money in the future, don't spend money indiscriminately!"

"Hehe, why is this a waste of money, don't persuade me, the three of you plus me, one for each person, and I'll find a way to solve the money matter. ”

They all knew that Qin Ruhai had a stubborn temper, and they couldn't wait to do what they thought of, and it was more difficult for him to dispel his thoughts than to ascend to the sky, so they didn't persuade him again.
