Chapter 44: Birthday
Xu Ning only thought after she said this that she would be thirteen years old after her birthday, and time passed quite quickly.
And Li Xiumei looked at her daughter's face without much flesh, and her body looked like a teenager, only to realize that her daughter was not lacking in nutrition, she was so tall, she had her first period when she was fourteen years old, Xiao Aning continued like this, and she couldn't do it after a year, it seems that she has to make up for it next, and the stone is the same, the pillar next door is the same age as him, taller than him and much stronger than him.
Now that the conditions at home are gradually improving, and next month's rent is enough, we have to improve the food, and the two sisters will nest an egg in the morning.
"A-Ning, stone, I heard Xi'er say that the pillar next door and the sweet girl opposite drink milk every morning, and my mother plans to give you the same in the future, you two are too thin. "Every morning, the milk delivery person will go next door, and that day Xi'er asked her if she wanted to make a decision.
"Mom, do we have enough money?"
Xu Ning knew that this body was very weak and had to be repaired, but he was afraid that his family would have no money.
"Enough, rest assured, next month's rent is already enough. "Not only is the rent enough, but now the family has almost 50 yuan in savings.
Xu Ning was relieved after hearing this, but when he heard the word rent, he sighed a little: "Mom, it would be nice if I could buy the house here!"
Li Xiumei was startled when she heard it and said: "Where is the money, Xi'er's house cost more than 1,000 when it was bought, and there is a family on the street in front that sold the house a few days ago." Do you know how much it sold, the area is only about half smaller than this, it costs 600 yuan, this yard can't be a thousand, if it's in the village, it's cheaper. ”
The family opened a flower shop for almost a month, and the money that A-Ning got to tell fortunes and change feng shui is only a few dozen yuan, at this rate, maybe you won't be able to buy this house in three years, let alone those who get a dead salary a month, I don't know how many years it will take.
Xu Ning touched his nose and sighed: "It's so expensive, you have to earn it for a few years." ”
Shi Shi answered from behind: "Mom, sister, Shi will make money when he grows up, and then we can buy a big house to live in." ”
"Okay, the stone has ambitions!" Xu Ningle said.
The family happily went to wash and get ready for bed.
And Xu Haisheng, who was far away, followed his uncle to work in the shoe factory, and he was still working overtime at eight o'clock at the moment. After coming to the factory for almost a month, Ah Sheng slowly became familiar with various crafts and came down to work with peace of mind, but he often missed his family and A-Ning's family. This big boy, who was supposed to be at school age, dropped out of school early and entered society because the burden on his family was too heavy.
Whenever in the dead of night, or when passing through school, Ah Sheng feels the most uncomfortable, he actually likes to go to school very much, but he thinks that his father is alone at home, and his brother doesn't study anymore, but he has to stay at home with his father to farm, and he can't earn much in a year.
Except for sighing, he can only face reality......
……
"Mom, is the goods delivered?"
Today, Saturday, Xu Ning has a holiday, doing homework and watching the store. When I saw my mother come back, I hurriedly stood up and poured her a glass of water to drink.
"Well, it's delivered. On your birthday today, my mother bought a chicken and came back, and a few more dishes came out in the evening, do you want to buy a cake too?"
"Mom, no, that thing is not delicious and expensive, just cook me a bowl of shou noodles to eat." ”
Last time Xi'er had her birthday, her family bought a big cake and came back. I brought a piece to them to eat, but she didn't like the sweet and greasy thing, and she had heard that it wasn't cheap.
"Let's go buy one, and then give it to the neighbors, and when the situation comes, it can be regarded as a courtesy. "Other people buy birthday cakes for their birthdays, and it is said that this is popular now, and it can be shared with everyone at that time.
"Okay, I'll buy it. Seeing that her mother made sense to say this, Xu Ning agreed to buy a cake.
"Sister, I'll go with you!" As soon as Shi heard that he wanted to buy a cake, he immediately stopped sleepy, and shouted that he would go with him.
"Let's go, you can help my sister pick a cake. ”
Li Xiumei gave Xu Ning money, in addition to the money to buy cakes, she also gave more, and told Xu Ning to buy what she liked if she saw it, and today she has a birthday, so she has to buy something she wants.
The siblings went to a cake shop on another street. Xu Ning felt that it was more convenient to live in the county than in the countryside, but the place for activities was too small. In the countryside, sometimes the two siblings can go to the mountains to pick wild fruits to eat, or go down to the river to catch fish and shrimp, or go to the field to pick snails or catch loaches, especially in the first two days when the stones first came, they are not used to it.
The two didn't walk long before they arrived at the cake shop.
The cake shop is lined up with layers of cakes, which look very beautiful and make you have an appetite when you look at it.
"Sister, I want this, there is fruit on this. The stone pointed to the top cake, which was larger and more beautiful than the bottom, and was indeed decorated with fruit.
Xu Ning looked at the price, her mother gave her enough money to buy this cake, but she couldn't buy anything else if she bought the cake, and looked at the look of the stone next to her, so she asked the owner of the store to take it down.
"It's so beautiful!
The more Shi looked at the cake in Xu Ning's hand, the more he felt that it looked good, and the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to eat it.
"It's good-looking, and when you have a birthday, you can buy such a big cake. ”
There was an event in the store today, and they were given a few breads, Xu Ning was afraid that the stone would be hungry, so he took a piece for him to eat first.
After paying the money, the two of them were happily walking out of the store with the cake, preparing to go home, when they saw a group of people rushing over.
"Stone!"
Hurriedly dragged the stone to the side, only to see that there was some chaos on the street, it turned out that there was a family to get married and do a happy event, and the bride was being picked up.
"Company commander, the car can't pass!"
Gu Yichen looked at the blocking of the only road leading to Gu's mansion, and his brows furrowed so he could only get out of the car.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Ning and Shi Shi on the side of the road, and walked up to them in a ghostly manner, and when he saw Xu Ning holding a cake in his hand, he asked, "Whose birthday is today?"
Xu Ning was looking at the bustle in front of her, and she was almost startled when she heard a familiar voice unguarded, and just as she was about to answer, she heard that the stone had already answered for her.
"My sister...... It's a birthday today. ”
Gu Yichen looked at the girl who was up to his chest, and felt a little older than the younger brother next to her, but it was just that she had been in contact before, but what she said was really not what she should say at her age.
"How old are you?"
"Thirteen years old. Xu Ning looked up and responded, every time he talked to this person, he was tired, and he was tired when he was too tall to reply.
"Are you thirteen?" looked left and right, but he couldn't tell that he was thirteen, but he remembered that his cousin was thirteen years old.
Xu Ning looked at his questioning eyes and said very unhappily: "I'm thirteen years old." "It's not a thing, why deceive people.
Gu Yichen looked at her slightly annoyed, shook his head, and said, "Wait for me for a while!"
