The younger sister tilted her head, looked at him, blinked twice, and took out the change with a grin.

"Brother, these are enough to ride in the car, hehe. “

When Lu Tao turned around, he saw that the faces of his relatives were a little strange.

"Tao'er, you took out all the tuition fees, how unsafe it is to carry it with you. Dad Wang saw it on the side and said quickly. As the saying goes, wealth can't be exposed, not to mention that there is no money in the family, and it is naturally not good to show it in front of so many relatives.

Lu Dayou reprimanded his daughter for being ignorant, and at the same time told his son.

"Yes, the tuition fee is still safe in the bank card, and then take it out when you pay it, and take it with you like something. The mother also had some worry in her eyes, and blamed slightly.

Lu Tao looked at it helplessly and said, "It's okay." “

For the thousands of yuan that Lu Tao revealed, everyone didn't care too much, after all, the tuition fee of the university is not cheap, more than 4,000 a year, plus the living expenses, it is normal for Lu Tao to have a few thousand yuan in his hand, maybe the family's savings are in his hands.

Lu Lan was still sensible, took the money and handed it to her mother, and said, "Mom, I brought all the money from my brother." ”

Her mother glared at her and said, "Your brother's tuition, how can you take it randomly, he will go to study in a few days, and you don't know how to settle down." “

Lu Tao didn't mind at all, he came back to buy some things for his parents and sister, and thought of giving them some of the money when he left, but he didn't expect to be discovered by his sister in advance.

He thought for a while and said, "Dad, Mom, it's okay, it's just more than 3,000 yuan, you can keep it at home, I can still earn some at school, and you don't have to send me tuition fees and living expenses later." ”

When he said this, he was taken aback in Liu Zhihui's ears, and thought that his son was not going to go to school, so he quickly glared and said: "Why can't you use it, where does the school not cost money, even if you do a part-time job, how much can you earn?" Besides, usually, don't buy some clothes or anything, don't always dress in tatters, so that other classmates look down on you." ”

Lu Dayou also said: "When the time comes, save the card, and then take it over there, there are still some travel expenses at home, so you don't need this money for the time being." ”

Uncle Zhang Cheng nodded on the side and said: "Second sister, what you said is right, in school, although you don't want to deliberately compare, but at least you have to be on par with everyone, otherwise if you are looked down upon, you will often be bullied." In our provincial capital, I heard that there are a lot of such things in college, and it is still very important to be gregarious, otherwise it will have a great impact on children. “

"How can I be, the students are very good. Lu Tao didn't want his parents to worry, so he replied directly.

The eldest uncle also smiled and said: "It's this reason, if you go out, you can't get every money on your body, as far as your cousin knows, go out to work, at least a few thousand yuan in your hand every time, and you should be in an emergency, it is not as good as at home, and the food can be planted in the field, and even if it is a bottle of water outside, it costs money, so it's better to have some preparation." ”

The mother came over with the money, and asked to stuff it to Lu Tao again: "Tao'er, your father and I don't need any money at home, the things in the field for food are enough, you still have this money, in case there is something wrong at school, we are far away, we can't help much, and we have money in our pockets and confidence." ”

"You crow's mouth, what can Tao'er do at school, it's the New Year. Lu Dayou glared fiercely.

"Yes, look at my crow's mouth, baba ”

Lu Tao knew that he couldn't resist his parents' temperament, so he had to accept it again, but he still gave his sister 500 yuan, which was the New Year's money.

"In school, it's still important to study and study, part-time or not, use your spare time to do it, and don't always think about making money. Lu Dayou smoked a dry cigarette one by one, and did not forget to advise.

"I know. Lu Tao nodded, many things are still in the plan now, although he has thirty or forty thousand in his hand, but according to his plan, it is far from enough. You have to rely on the past to make some lists and accumulate them slowly. It is estimated that it will only be a year at most, and he must have made a great improvement, Lu Tao thought to himself.

Time flies very fast, I stayed at my grandmother's house for a day on the fourth day of junior high school, and I started to go to a few uncles' houses on the fifth and sixth days of junior high school, and each family had one or two meals. Everyone also discussed, because Lu Tao was going to leave on the eighth day of the new year, so the time for the group to go to Lu Tao's house was set on the seventh day of the first month.

Early in the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, the family got up and got busy. There are many relatives who come, so you have to prepare early.

"Sister, you go to the field and dig some green onions and come back. Lu Tao was sitting on a small bench, with a large dark red plastic basin in front of him, and two silver carps in it, jumping around, he was ready to kill fish.

"Got it, brother, the fish is so cute, how can you bear to kill it. The younger sister looked at him while looking for the little hoe in the pile of miscellaneous things behind the door, and looked like she was overflowing with compassion.

"As you said, then you won't eat fish at noon. Lu Tao took the bright kitchen knife, slapped it directly on the head of the fish, and said with a smile in his mouth.

"Hmph, if you don't eat, you won't eat. The younger sister stomped her feet, and it was a very interesting thing to be coquettish with her brother, and Lu Lan, who pretended to have a little temper, ran towards the ground with a small hoe.

"Dad, why don't you go to the commissary at the head of the village to buy some bars, you can't do it without alcohol during the New Year. ”

"Drink and drink, you know to drink, don't you still have that bulk liquor at home?" Mother was cooking big bones in the kitchen, and when she heard Lu Tao talking outside, she couldn't help but reply.

After his father, Lu Dayou, usually works, he always likes to drink one or two glasses of small wine at night, which are the kind of bulk liquor that he goes to the town to beat, and he uses a white plastic pot to hold 5 liters, which is only a few yuan.

Lu Tao smiled at his father, and made a gesture, to the effect that his mother shouldn't care about this, Lu Dayou squinted his eyes and smiled.

No man wants to be looked down upon, and Lu Dayou is the same. In fact, Lu Tao knows that his father is a very good-looking person, although the overall conditions of the family are not good, the house is a mud house, there is no attic, and there are only three rooms, but every year when the guests come to the family during the Spring Festival, they are very enthusiastic. Nowadays, my father has nothing to do about the house, but in terms of food for entertaining guests, he naturally does not want to be too far away, so that relatives will not be able to say that which family is more entertained after the Spring Festival every time.

"I'm going to come back with a case of beer. Lu Dayou had a smile on his face, as if his son's support for him made him happy, regardless of his daughter-in-law's nagging.

"Go, go, when the time comes, the two babies will study and they won't be able to pay for the tuition anyway, so they will look for you. ”

Taking the killed fish back to the kitchen, Lu Tao said to his mother: "Mom, for the New Year, you don't have to say a word, isn't Dad also happy." ”

"He's happy, he didn't see this Chinese New Year going to your grandmother's house, what do your aunt and his brother think? I don't know how to honestly build up the family, save more money and buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and die to save face and suffer crimes. ”

Lu Tao smiled, added firewood to the stove with his right hand, and said in his mouth: "Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine when I graduate next year." “

"That's for sure, my family Tao'er, but a college student, will have a lot of success in the future. Mother boasted while she was busy making vegetables and cutting meat.

The countryside is not as good as the city, and the New Year is a lively time, and the relatives with noodles and sugar in their hands are almost noon, and they are late to come, and they have already begun to shout from a distance of dozens of meters.

"Second sister, is the meal ready? ”

"Second Brother Lu, the wine is ready. ”

Lu Tao, his father and sister hurriedly went out to say hello.

"The conditions at home are poor, everyone will go down, the house is small, everyone sits in the yard, the hospitality is not good, the hospitality is not good. ”

A group of people sat directly in the courtyard dam, setting up three square tables, and took advantage of this time to fight a few landlords. Lu Tao has no mahjong at home, only poker, and everyone has no choice but to settle.

"Second brother, your kitchen is about to collapse, and so much mud has fallen on it. "My aunt is a knife mouth, I don't know if it's a tofu heart, anyway, at this time, I grinned at Lu Dayou.

"Lu Tao, you have to study hard, you can earn money after graduation, and when the time comes, you can repair the house at home, which is not safe. ”

Lu Dayou's face was a little unbearable, and he said embarrassedly: "When Tao'er graduates, our family will repair the house." ”

Lu Tao looked at a group of relatives and said directly to his father: "What else is there to repair this broken house? Next year, we can just buy the provincial capital directly." ”

My aunt was stunned for a moment: "Provincial city, hehe, yes, Lu Tao still has an idea, second brother, if this house is not repaired, it is much better to buy it directly in the city." In the future, Lu Tao will definitely work in the provincial capital, and it will be a waste of money to repair this house. ”

"However, I heard that houses in the city are not cheap now. The eldest uncle didn't speak before, but said directly at this time.

"It's estimated that if you have a set, it's more than 100,000 now. Lu Tao didn't raise his head, and went directly to the kitchen to help serve the food, leaving a sentence.

"It's still Tao'er ambitious. ”

Several relatives naturally regarded Lu Tao's words as nonsense, especially his aunt Zhang Ju.

"Lu Tao, it's not that my aunt said you, you also saw it two days ago, your uncle, 1,000 a month, or the director, you only have one suite a year, that's more than 100,000. It's a good thing to go to college, but you can't think about becoming a big fat person in one bite, it's better to be down-to-earth. “
