Chapter 23: Word Play
Even Qiuhua has been back for four days, and without Lian Qiuhua, Momo is doing everything smoothly, and the speed of knitting sweaters has also improved a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On February 15th, Momo finally finished knitting all the sweaters, because the weaving was thin, so there was some wool left, Momo filled a few taels from the space, and knitted a pair of woolen pants for the younger brother.
The little guy wore woolen pants for the first time, and his heart was so beautiful that he didn't want to take them off when he put them on, and deliberately dangled in front of the twins, and the angry twins stripped the little guy naked and pressed them in the quilt before stopping.
On the second day, Momo cleaned up the house and sat in the room to prepare the parcel for the eldest brother.
The sweater was put aside, and after thinking about it, he took out a whole ham, weighing about four catties, wrapped tightly in the kraft paper he bought, more than two catties of fried pine nuts, and a canned bottle of bacon sauce.
In the end, Momo wrote a letter, asking the eldest brother to take care of himself, telling the eldest brother that he didn't need to send things to him anymore, that he would keep the delicious food for himself, and that he didn't have to worry about it at home.
Momo took her younger brother, locked the door, and went to the post office, there were not many people at the post office, and the comrades at work were either chatting or reading the newspaper.
Momo came to the parcel mailing place, the female comrade took the package that checked Momo first, and when she saw the ham wrapped in brown paper, her eyes were glowing with gold, and she lowered her voice, "Little comrade, where did you get this ham?"
Momo doesn't even have a draft when she lies now, "Grandpa's fat pig is specially left with two thighs." ”
The woman was very disappointed and quickly packed the package, "One piece of one." ”
Momo secretly said that it was so expensive, no wonder few people mailed packages.
Momo didn't leave after sending the package, and walked to the place where the stamps were sold, "Comrade, bring me five copies of each stamp." ”
The gay man who sold the stamps repeated uncertainly, "Five copies each?"
Momo nodded, "Yes, five portions." ”
The gay man looked at Momo a few more times and happily took out the stamp.
In the drawer, there are three editions, the 64-year-old dragon ticket, the 65-year-old snake ticket, and this year's new horse ticket, five copies of each, and the gay men counted out, all of which are eight denominations, a total of two pieces.
Momo asked, "Comrade, are there any other stamps?"
The gay man flipped through the pages, "Do you want a few sets of stamps for the 20th anniversary of the victory issued last September? ”
Momo came to the spirit, she had the impression that the most valuable thing in the future was the monkey ticket and the mountains and rivers, I really don't know anything else, but the commemorative ones should have value-added value, "Give me five sets." ”
The gay man took it out, took the two pieces of eight, and put all the stamps in the envelope for Momo.
Momo led the little brother away, and Lian Qingchuan frowned, "Sister, why did you buy so many stamps, and you can't use them up in two years?"
Momo smiled, "You'll know later, go and my sister will take you to buy paper and pencils." ”
Lian Qingchuan nodded happily, he was a primary school student in March.
Lian Guozhong has not transported steel since the last transportation, and the steel mill has to repair and inspect the equipment at the beginning of each year.
Tian Qing asked while eating, "Why is this inspection so slow?"
Lian Guozhong took a sip of wine, "I estimate that it will be over in a few days." ”
Tian Qing asked again, "How is the matter with Lian Qiuhua?"
Momo pricked up her ears, and Lian Guozhong said: "Lao He helped ask, Momo needs temporary workers in their school, and the grain station needs to be cleaned." ”
Tian Qing was very curious, "What does the school want temporary workers to do?"
Lian Guozhong said: "Boiling hot water for staff and students living in the dormitory." ”
Tian Qing is most concerned about the issue of salary, "How much is a month?"
Lian Guozhong dried the rest of the wine, "Because the school has a five-month vacation, temporary workers are not paid during the vacation, so there are only seven months of salary a year, and the salary is relatively high, thirteen yuan a month, and the grain station works all year round, nine yuan a month." ”
Tian Qing silently calculated, "It's still appropriate for the grain station." ”
Lian Guozhong nodded, "That's true, girl, you can write a letter in a while, and I'll ask someone to bring it back tomorrow." ”
Momo replied absentmindedly, "Oh." ”
After the meal, Momo returned to the room and sat at the kang table in contemplation.
Even people like Qiuhua can't see that others are better than her, and they won't settle down when they enter the city.
The storm is getting closer and closer, Momo's heart has been tugging, and what she is most worried about is her father. Although her rebirth has changed a lot of her future, Momo is still worried that her father will die this year.
Even Qiuhua is best to go to school, at least she can put it under her nose, if she really wants to be a moth, she can be on guard.
And twins if she graduates. Twins are a group of half-sized children, it is too easy to see a person, it is most convenient to ventilate and report, even if the history remains the same, Dad still helps his former chief, and can also ensure that Dad will not be discovered by Lian Qiuhua.
Even the autumn flower process is to become a city people to enjoy the blessings, Momo grasped this point, played a word game, first compared the salary, and then the contact with the crowd to depict the pen and ink, the school part is young, handsome and talented teachers, senior intellectuals, and the grain station are ordinary workers, and finally the work of the two positions is compared.
Momo watched it again and again, and was satisfied, according to Lian Qiuhua's temperament, she would definitely choose a school.
Lian Guozhong read the letter again, "Do you want her to go to school?"
Momo knew that she couldn't hide it from her father, so she nodded, "There is a spare dormitory in the school, and it costs one dollar a semester." ”
Lian Guozhong understood what his daughter meant, accommodation is indeed a problem, so the school is really good, and according to his vision, even Qiuhua will not choose the grain station.
Lian Guozhong folded the letter, "Go back and review, school will start soon." ”
Momo nodded, returned to the room, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she lay down on the kang relaxedly.
Momo saw that the time was still early, there was no college entrance examination, Momo had nothing to review, and turned out the Bragi skirt from the cabinet, which became popular at the end of the fifties, Braji is Russian, transliterated to dress, and in order to get close to the workers and peasants, the fabric of the skirt is all rural flower cloth.
Momo's skirt was admitted to high school, and her father specially rewarded her, Momo likes plain, white flowers, and the fabric is not conspicuous.
Momo picked up the scissors, after this year, the dress can no longer be worn, just changed into a shirt, and the surplus can be made into a small vest.
Early the next morning, Momo didn't see Lian Qingchuan, thinking that the little guy was lazy and bedridden, so she asked Lian Qingchuan to get up.
Momo shouted a few times and no one answered, and when she came in, she saw that the little guy was blushing and nested in the quilt, with his eyes closed, and he was in pain.
Momo chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly touched her head, and sure enough, she had a fever.
Spring is a period of high incidence of colds, and the younger brother's resistance is already weak, and I went out with her for a day yesterday, and Momo blamed herself.
Tian Qing and Lian Guozhong work all year round, it is common for the little guy to get sick, and the husband and wife were worried at first, but then the three sisters and brothers took over, and the husband and wife saw that the three sisters and brothers took care of them very well, and they were relieved, the little guy has been in charge of the three sisters and brothers since last year.
The three sisters and brothers have experience, Lian Qingren dresses the younger brother, Qingyi goes to press the stove, and Momo changes clothes to get money and prepare things for hospitalization.
When even Qingren got dressed, he was ready, picked up his little brother and locked the door and left directly.
