Chapter Seventy-Five: Showing Favor
Li Xiuying's face remained unchanged and responded briskly, and when the people returned to the upstairs room, the smile on her face retreated, and she was faintly worried in her heart, it seems that she did do something too much in the afternoon, which made the new owner unhappy, and now she still has a cold face.

Li Xiuying didn't take this embarrassment to heart, anyway, what she needs now is a place where she can eat, live and pay her salary, first stand firm and then slowly think of another way out.
Re-entering this bedroom, Li Xiuying sat at the desk and took the pictorial given to her by Sun Yanhong, although she was reading it as long as she had time along the way, but after graduating from primary school, she still didn't recognize the pictorial completely, and she had to ponder it a little bit by herself.
There was a knock on the door, and Li Xiuying guessed that it was Xiao Gao, and stood up to open the door.
Sure enough, there was Xiao Gao standing outside the door, and after Xiao Gao saw the door open, he first looked inside, saw the books on the desk, and then looked at Li Xiuying with a look of concern, which obviously didn't believe that Li Xiuying could read books when he came out of the countryside.
Li Xiuying didn't like him the most, "Comrade Xiao Gao, do you have something to do?"
One by one, he blocked his sight, and the door was only opened by one foot, and his attitude was also alienated.
Xiao Gao's face flashed unnaturally, "I'll go out to buy soy milk fritters for breakfast tomorrow, and you have to get up to make breakfast the day after tomorrow, the chief goes out for a walk at five o'clock every morning, and has breakfast at six o'clock, you write down this time, don't be late." ā
Li Xiuying responded, "Do you buy the vegetables, or do I buy them?" If you buy them, I will tell you the vegetables you want to buy every day before you go out to buy vegetables......
Xiao Gao interrupted her, "You go to buy, how much money you spend on vegetables every day to keep an account, and you can report the account together at the end of the month." ā
"Okay. Li Xiuying didn't say anything more, and she also meant to send off guests.
Xiao Gao stood still, and Li Xiuying looked at him.
His big eyes rolled around, and his face still looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Li Xiuying thought that it was still an afternoon matter, thinking that she was taller than the one in front of her, and she couldn't keep worrying about him, so she opened her mouth, "I am also at fault for the afternoon matter." ā
Xiao Gao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Xiuying who suddenly admitted his mistake in disbelief, but after reacting, he waved his hands in a panic, "It's my fault, the chief of this matter has already disciplined me, it's really my fault, you don't have to apologize to me." I...... I mean, if you like to read, there's a lot of books in the chief's study downstairs. ā
This time, it was replaced by Li Xiuying, who was stunned.
Thinking that she was still misunderstanding Xiao Gao just now and was worried about the afternoon's events, but now I know that Xiao Gao saw her reading a book, and there were two people before, so she was embarrassed to speak, right?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuying felt a touch of shame, "Xiao Gao, thank you." ā
"It's okay, what do you like to watch? I'll find it for you. ā
"Well, are there any junior high school textbooks?" Li Xiuying thought for a moment and didn't be polite to him.
Xiao Gao was stunned for a moment, and then patted his chest, "Yes, I'll find you tomorrow." ā
He cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled, clean and innocent.
That's what a kid is.
Li Xiuying thanked her, and the two of them were obviously still working hard to see who could overpower whom, but now they were smiling and hating.
Li Xiuying suddenly felt that her previous idea was really wrong, thinking that either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, how could she compare this truth with a child.
Sitting back in front of the desk, Li Xiuying couldn't read the pictorial in her hand, just now she knew that she didn't suddenly ask if there were any junior high school textbooks, but she and her heart have always had such a desire, want to study by herself and want to take the adult college entrance examination.
After pressing it in my heart for so many years, I will not hesitate to say this the moment I am asked.
Li Xiuying looked at the slight sweat in her hands, curled the corners of her lips and smiled, just saying this made her nervous like this, which shows how important it is for her to be able to go to school, and it makes her so nervous.
Xiao Gao, who went downstairs over there, had a headache, there were books in the chief's study, but there were no textbooks for junior high school, and I regretted that I was thinking too much about showing favor just now, so I should go down, now it's okay, where is he going to find textbooks.
Thinking that the answer would be given tomorrow, Xiao Gao hesitated and decided to go to the study first to find a few other books and take them over for a few days, and then use these few days to get junior high school textbooks outside and come back.
That night, Li Xiuying lay on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep deeply, not insomnia because of the new place, and put the changed clothes and sheets together early the next morning, planning to wash them during the day.
The other change of clothes was a blue and white cotton jacket with small flowers, a pair of cyan labor cloth pants, which Li Meiling wore when she was in high school, and gave it to her after it was broken.
Li Xiuying is also a woman, although she is not a person who loves vanity, but she also loves face a little, and she is like a girl who is willing to wear patched clothes.
There is also a bathroom upstairs, the things in it are very simple, a piece of double-tower brand medicinal soap, now the soap of the family is made of their own household salty and the pancreas in the pig's body, like this soap only people in the city will afford, Li Xiuying did not get married, I remember that every year during the Chinese New Year, Meiling will take the soap used in the school home, I heard that this small piece is at least a dollar.
At that time, Li Xiuying thought that this thing would get smaller and smaller, and it would cost a dollar, and every time she washed her hands and face, she was washing it with money, but she secretly used her sister's soap to wash her face, and her face was slippery, and Li Xiuying understood why everyone spent money to buy this, and there was still a little fragrance on her face after washing her face.
But she used it secretly once, and was discovered by Meiling, who didn't say anything at that time, but she was beaten by her eccentric mother with a broom, which makes Li Xiuying still remember it deeply.
Washed her face with medicinal soap, Li Xiuying wiped her face with her own small handkerchief, the white handkerchief is indeed good and the four diagonal corners are blue orchids, this is still given to her by Zhang Jianping when she got married, Li Xiuying is a little clean, she has been using this handkerchief as a towel to wipe her face, and the handkerchief has been a little yellow after more than a year, and now when she is in the city, Li Xiuying feels that it is time to change it again.
Facing the mirror hanging on the wall, Li Xiuying looked at her shoulder and looked at the long braid, and then thought of yesterday's events, she turned around and went downstairs, yesterday she simply cleaned up the house, I remember seeing scissors in a five-drawer cabinet against the wall, turned out the scissors Li Xiuying went back upstairs, and when Xiao Gao came back from a walk with the chief, Li Xiuying cut her hair only over the length of her shoulder and the length of a palm, and combed it low in the back.
