Chapter 18: The Transformation of Friends
Along the way, Guan Yuhua chattered, talking about her own family affairs and school affairs, while Lin Caiwei just smiled and listened, now although she is inferior and timid, she is still cheerful and happy, unlike the puppet who was only twenty-four years old in her previous life and seemed to have lost her soul. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lin Caiwei silently vowed to take her out of the cannibalistic quagmire of her family, at least let her understand the unreasonable demands and know how to refuse, even if it is a relative.
"Weiwei, when you come to my house, can you go in with me and tell your mother? I'm afraid that they will scold me and won't let me go", Guan Yuhua said a little scared.
"Okay, let's go", Lin Caiwei responded happily, and followed Guan Yuhua to push the door in.
Her family lived in her grandparents, aunt, cousin's family, and her family, so the yard was not large, and on the right hand side of the entrance, you could see a pigsty that took up half of the yard, and there were four or five pigs in it.
On the left-hand side is the kind of toilet with a large pit in the countryside, and there is no curtain to cover it, so it often happens that someone is in it and others go in without paying attention.
And the window of Guan Yuhua's bedroom is closed all year round, because the window of her room is facing the pigsty. Therefore, her room always smells of pig, and the whole room is dark and damp, and it smells bad.
And Guan Yuhua's younger brother, Guan Baobao is different, although the room is smaller, it is brighter and more ventilated, and the light is good.
With such eccentric parents, Lin Caiwei also wronged her. Bear with me, it's better to go to junior high school in two years and live in the city than at home like this.
Guan Yuhua's house is even more dilapidated than his own, and the whole house is made of low earthen walls and mossy tiles.
There was also a peach tree in the middle of the yard, and the ground was covered with chicken droppings, some of which were dried and pasted on the ground, and no one cleaned them.
The smell of pig in the yard is mixed with the smell of, don't be too ecstatic, Lin Caiwei can only step over cautiously.
In the hall, the baby is eating the pomegranate peeled by his mother with relish. Guan Yuhua's mother, Zhao Chunfang, saw her daughter coming back from school, and ordered, "Stinky girl, you are finally back, your brother is hungry, I have to cook, you go and feed the pigs, and after feeding, peel pomegranates for your brother."
After speaking, seeing that Lin Caiwei also came with him, he immediately put a smile on his face, and said politely, "Oh, Caiwei, you are here, eat pomegranates", and handed over a pomegranate.
"No need, thank you, Auntie", Lin Caiwei shook her head and declined.
"Auntie, I asked Guan Yuhua to go to my house for dinner, do you think it's okay?", Lin Caiwei asked.
"Yes, it's okay to sleep at your house, okay, Yuhua, you can go", Zhao Chunfang agreed, thinking that he was stupid and didn't agree, saving a meal just to give his baby son more to eat, and besides, he could also have a good relationship with Lin Caiwei and her mother, and it would be cheaper to buy pork with her mother's family in the future.
Lin Caiwei knew why she agreed so quickly, and she didn't break it, but her determination to change Guan Yuhua was firmer.
Guan Yuhua hadn't said a word after entering the door, listening to what her mother Zhao Chunfang said, a trace of envy flashed on her face, and then she was gloomy.
Seeing that her mother Zhao Chunfang agreed, she was happy again, she didn't have to feed the pigs to serve her brother, and she could play with Weiwei.
"Then let's go, goodbye Auntie", Lin Caiwei saw that Zhao Chunfang agreed, and after saying goodbye, she pulled Guan Yuhua out of the door.
I was delayed at Guan Yuhua's house today, and when I got home, it was already half past five, and my parents were back.
"Weiwei is back, Xiaohua will stay and eat together", Guan Lanfen knew that she was bringing someone back to eat when she saw her daughter coming back with Guan Yuhua.
She also understands the situation of Guan Yuhua's child's family, and she feels very sorry for her, so she doesn't blame her daughter for often bringing this child to the house for dinner.
"Well, okay, thank you, Auntie", Guan Yuhua thanked in a low voice.
"Mom, I have meat to eat today, it's pork tofu ball soup, it's fragrant, I want to eat it so much, I want to eat three bowls of rice in a while!", when Lin Caiwei was abroad in her previous life, she had pork abroad, but she didn't have this kind of tofu in her hometown, so she couldn't make this dish at all, Lin Caiwei hadn't eaten this dish for more than ten years, and she was hungry at this time.
"Little glutton, go wash your hands and prepare the dishes and chopsticks, you can eat it after a while", Guan Lanfen saw her daughter's greed, turned around and nodded her daughter's nose, distressed and funny.
"Got it, Mom, let's go", Lin Caiwei responded happily.
Lin Caiwei put the dishes and chopsticks in place, and seeing that there were still two dishes that were not ready, she pulled Guan Yuhua into her boudoir to prepare for her ideological education class.
"Caiwei, your room seems to be different", Guan Yuhua entered Lin Caiwei's room, looked around and said.
"What's different", Lin Caiwei asked with a smile.
"Well—it's clean, it's neat, it's messy before, and the quilts on the bed aren't folded, the clothes are littered, the floor is dusty, the curtains are too, and the desk is messy," she said after a pause.
"It's not like my room is dirty and messy, and it stink......s", saying this, Guan Yuhua's voice lowered, and she was so envious of her brother's room.
"Xiaohua, your parents are good to your brother, they call you back and forth, the food, and clothing are not as good as your brother's, and your father often beats and scolds you, have you ever thought about resisting?", Lin Caiwei looked at her and asked seriously.
"I don't dare, my dad will beat me, my mom told me to wash my brother's clothes and clean the room, they said that my sister should take care of my brother like this", Guan Yuhua said, she was very envious of Lin Caiwei having such good parents.
"Xiaohua, if you are admitted to junior high school in the city in the future, they will not be able to summon you, especially if you can be admitted to the first middle school, then my parents and I will help you tell your parents, they will definitely agree", Lin Caiwei can't tell Guan Yuhua more and deeper truths now, she can only use the simplest and most straightforward reasons to persuade her friends, and she will have time to enlighten her in the future.
"This, really, can I go, they won't agree, they want a lot of money", Guan Yuhua was moved, she didn't want to be scolded by her parents at home, serving her younger brother, the benefits of going to a better school were not something she would consider now.
"Don't worry, Xiaohua, everything will be handed over to my parents then, and my parents will definitely help you", Lin Caiwei encouraged her.
"Well, Caiwei, I want to study hard from today onwards, and we will take the first middle school exam together", Lin Caiwei's words gave Guan Yuhua great courage, and she said firmly.
"Weiwei, it's time to eat", hearing her mother's urging, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then left Lin Caiwei's room.
"Dad, you're watching your shootout movie again, you don't even know when your daughter comes back, it's called a fascination", Lin Caiwei knows that his father is a military fan, what kind of gun, military, fighting is his favorite thing to watch.
"Your father is like that, I can't wait to ask you to be a soldier, what kind of soldier is a girl, and she will die a miserable death", Guan Lanfen took her daughter's words and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, let's eat, come, Weiwei eats tofu meatballs", Lin Aiguo changed the topic, knowing that his daughter loves to eat this meatball, so he sandwiched several for his daughter.
"Come, Yuhua is here, you can eat some too, Weiwei and her mother make this delicious food", after sandwiching it for her daughter, she sandwiched a few more for Guan Yuhua.
"Yuhua, what do you want to eat, you're welcome", Guan Lanfen also said.
"Hey, okay, thank you, aunt and uncle", Guan Yuhua thanked, feeling that Lin Caiwei's parents are so good, they feel very relaxed here, more comfortable than at home.
"Mom, the delicious food you made is dead, I want to faint happily", Lin Caiwei exclaimed exaggeratedly, making Guan Lanfen cry and laugh, thinking that this child is becoming more and more lively.
The dinner ended in a happy atmosphere, and after Lin Caiwei said hello to her parents, she took Guan Yuhua and came out.
"Weiwei, is it difficult to brush flat paper, is that Grandma Li fierce?", Guan Yuhua looked at Lin Caiwei and asked worriedly.
"It's very easy to learn, it's not difficult, and if you brush more, you will brush well and quickly, and make more money," Lin Caiwei comforted.
After a while, the two arrived at Li Yuying's house, and Lin Caiwei pushed open the door and said, "Grandma Li, I'm here."
Li Yuying saw that Lin Caiwei had brought a short, black and thin little girl over, looked at her curiously, and said, "Weiwei, is this your classmate?"
"Grandma Li, this is my friend, her name is Guan Yuhua, aren't you still short of people, I'll bring her over to try, if it doesn't work, forget it, can you try it?", Lin Caiwei asked.
"Yes, you teach her and let her try", Li Yuying readily agreed, thinking that the people brought by Lin Caiwei would not be too bad, and it would be nothing to try.
Hearing this, Lin Caiwei beckoned, asked Guan Yuhua to sit, went to find the things needed to brush the flat paper, and taught it carefully a few times, fortunately, it was simple, Guan Yuhua got started quickly, but he was not very skilled, a little slow, just practice more.
Li Yuying saw that although the little girl brought by Lin Caiwei was not as good as Lin Caiwei, it was not bad, so she left Guan Yuhua.
This night, Guan Yuhua was not proficient, so she brushed less than a thousand and earned a piece of eight, but she was very happy when she got the money.
"Xiaohua, you don't want the money to be confiscated, so hide it," Lin Caiwei advised.
If his parents knew about it, he would only use it to buy food for his younger brother, Guan Yuhua thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Tonight, Guan Yuhua was very touched, and she vaguely understood that only by leaving that home, only by herself was right.
