When he went to bed at night, Yuan Lang had something on his mind, he thought about it all night, he couldn't sleep on his side, and he couldn't turn over, the movement was big, and Xinglang, who was sleeping next to him, should have an opinion.
Smeared up and didn't turn on the light, just looked at the moonlight outside the window and sat down at the desk, quietly combing her mind, how should she fight for this place. Suddenly remembered what Xinglang said, everyone has their own chest of drawers, Yuan Lang leaned over to take a look, really, this dilapidated small desk with a peeled surface has a total of five small drawers, pulled a few times with his hands, four are locked, and there is a mess in it, which originally belonged to the boss, after she got married, the ownership belonged to the seventh, but she was too small and had no right to speak, the drawer that belonged to her was occupied by several sisters, and some useless and reluctant things were all put in her drawer.
Yuan Lang walked to the bottom of his pillow again, touched it, and found a round silver metal, strung with a colored thread, and a ball of yarn hung on it. When she turned the pillow over before, she found that the key didn't know what it was for, and Xinglang inadvertently lifted the chest of drawers, and she didn't react.
Left and right looked at the sisters lying on the bed, the second and fourth on the bed on the right slept very soundly, and the second Chaolang snored quietly. Xinglang on the bed on the left slept shallowly, and was awakened by the sound of his own squirming, glanced up in a daze, and muttered, "Old Five, what are you doing, why don't you sleep?" was fooled by himself a few times, turned over and fell asleep again.
Yuan Lang was very curious about what was inside, and tried a few locks one by one with the key before finding his chest of drawers.
Gently pulled it open, the cabinet was small, and there was a notebook, a pen, and then a few tapes in bits and pieces, plus some small things that girls like, and the cabinet was filled.
picked up the notebook printed with Teresa Teng's face in pink patent leather, and several paper tickets fell out of it, the largest denomination was one, and there were several gross tickets, which added up to a total of five corners. This is the private money saved by the original body.
The money earned by the daughters of the Xie family for their work, they themselves can't touch the edge at all, and this money is estimated to be the money from smuggling a few yuan out and selling it when digging iron.
Take out the money and put it close to him, Yuan Lang opened the notebook and looked. The above records are all daily days, nothing more than the partiality of Xie's mother, the harshness of Xie's father, and some girl's thoughts, and a few sour poems of sadness and sadness.
The next day she got up early in the morning, Yuan Lang was dizzy, but there was no way, so she didn't dare to tell Father Xie that she didn't want to go to work, and when she opened her mouth, it was definitely a beating.
But today, Yuan Lang learned to be smart, and took the lead in hanging the only straw hat in the family on his body, so that he could cover a little under the sun.
Today, the third Xinglang also has to go together, and the four sisters of the Xie family are taking advantage of the fact that it is not hot in the morning, and they want to rush over early to do more work.
"Xie Xinglang, what's going on with you, being beaten again?" Yuan Lang, who was walking at the end, heard a crisp female voice gloating.
"Xie Shubao, what's the matter with you, the dog is nosy with the mouse. Xinglang replied angrily.
When I walked in, a girl wearing bell bottoms, a ponytail, dressed fashionably, and a small round face was waiting in front with a smile.
She opened her apricot eyes, and she was not annoyed by Xinglang's angry words, and she was still in a good mood.
"Bao'er, you're so beautiful. Shui Lang looked at the other party's brand new pants enviously and said.
Yuan Lang also looked at the past, she was really incompetent to accept the aesthetics of this era, according to her eyes, the fashion in the eyes of people now, she really felt a little... Rustic...
"Xie Shuilang, why are you leaning over, didn't you see her sarcastically sarcastic about your sister? ”
"I didn't see it. Shui Lang was very dissatisfied with her third sister's action of pulling her, and replied angrily, still going to Xie Shubao's side.
Yuan Lang pretended not to pay attention, and secretly led Chao Lang to say a few words, this girl is the only daughter of the Xie Yong family at the entrance of the village, and his family's pet child is the only one in the village.
Xinglang and the other party have always been at odds with each other, and where there are two people, they are definitely competing against each other. I didn't see it, Xinglangqi's eyes were red.
However, according to Yuan Lang, where is this rivalry, it is obvious that Xie Shubao is teasing Xinglang.
Chao Lang saw that a few people were about to make trouble again, so he hurriedly made a round and asked, "Bao'er, where are you going?"
Xie Shubao glanced at Xinglang, tilted his head, and said proudly: "Oh, I'll go to Yan Qingzhi's house to borrow the information for the college entrance examination." ”
Not to be outdone, Xinglang counterattacked: "Don't waste your mind, I didn't get admitted to the exam after repeating it a few times, and I became an old girl." ”
"It's just a year older than you, I'm the same year as your second sister..." Xinglang's mouth has always been powerful, but who would have thought that when she met Xie Shubao, she choked so much that she couldn't speak several times.
Xie Shubao smiled with satisfaction, then turned his head to Chaolang and asked, "It's a pity that you don't repeat your studies, you were one point short of the college entrance examination last year, and you will repeat your studies for a year this year, so you can be guaranteed to be able to go." ”
Yuan Lang saw that her second sister's mood was instantly depressed, "I've been repeating my studies for a year, and my family doesn't allow me to continue reading, and the conditions don't allow it." ”
"Xie Shubao, you did it on purpose, right..."
"We were in a hurry and went first. Chao Lang didn't say a word, lowered his head and walked forward in silence.
"Second sister, wait for me. Xinglang chopped his feet twice and glared at Xie Shubao fiercely.
Yuan Lang also quickly followed, and when he passed Xie Shubao, he glanced at her carelessly, and then looked at Shui Lang's back in front of him thoughtfully.
Everyone didn't pay attention just now, and their attention was focused on the second sister and Xie Shubao, only Yuan Lang himself observed that when Xie Shubao mentioned Yan Qingzhi, his body stiffened, and the look on his face was obviously wrong.
Between Yan Qingzhi and Shui Lang?
But Yuan Lang just paid attention to it for a while and let it go, anyway, it's none of her business.
She had a new idea in her mind.
After another day of hard work, Yuan Lang realized more firmly that she was not the material for manual labor.
After returning home and cleaning up, Yuan Lang found an excuse to sneak out and wandered around the door of Xie Shubao's house for a while, but Xie Shubao hadn't returned home yet.
Yuan Lang had to wait at the entrance of the village.
When the smell of cooking began to waft in the village, I saw Xie Shubao holding a few books in his arms, humming songs, and turning around from time to time, obviously in a very happy mood.
"Bao'er..."
Yuan Lang looked at Xie Baoshu, who was immersed in his own world speechlessly, and was startled by his own voice.
"It's Yuan Lang.. You suddenly made a noise, it scared me..."Xie Shubao patted his chest, stroked his eyebrows three times, and snorted twice, "People are scary, they are scared to death." ”
"It's because you're so engrossed, I called you several times, but you didn't react, what do you think?"
Xie Shubao didn't know what he thought, he was flushed from his neck to the root of his ears, and his face was full of redness, "No, it's nothing....By the way, Yuanlang, what are you looking for me?"
Yuan Lang had no intention of exploring the other party's privacy, and directly stated his purpose, "Can you lend me your review materials?"
Xie Shubao asked in surprise: "Do you want to read the college entrance examination materials? Don't you have been working for two years, and you still want to take the exam?"
Yuan Lang nodded affirmatively, "I've thought about it recently, and I still think that girls should read more." ”
"I'll just say that what my dad said must be right, what about your second sister? If she takes the test again, she will definitely be able to go. Xie Shubao laughed and patted Yuan Lang's shoulder, "Oh, go and see." ”
Yuan Lang didn't expect Xie Shubao to stuff all the books he had just borrowed into his arms, and he was stunned for a while.
"That's... Give it all to me, so what do you see?" Yuan Lang was full of emotion, for Xie Shubao's selflessness.
"I..." Xie Shubao's eyes rolled, "It's okay, I'll go directly to Yan Qingzhi's house tomorrow to review with him." ”
When Yuan Lang heard this, he was relieved, and looked carefully at the peach blossom-faced girl, with an innocent and shy expression, and was happy to find a new excuse to get close to his sweetheart.
"Thank you then. No matter what, Yuan Lang still sincerely thanked Xie Shubao.
Just as Yuan Lang was flipping through the newly arrived books, Xie Shubao suddenly leaned his head over and asked, "Eh, there is something to ask you, does your fourth sister know Yan Qingzhi?"
"Qingzhi mentioned your fourth sister and said that he had asked his father, is it true that the textile factory is preparing to recruit female workers?" Xie Shubao said this, biting his lip, "They... What's the relationship?"
"I don't know much about this, and I've seen my fourth sister interact with other people, why don't I ask you?" Yuan Lang held the book in his hand and said tentatively quietly.
"No, still don't use it. Xie Shubao hesitated for a long time, but gritted her teeth and refused, after all, now she is unilaterally interested in Yan Qingzhi, what she said to Yuan Lang just now, she really couldn't help but ask, if she wants to ask Shui Lang in person again, she still wants to be faced.
"Well, Nabao'er, I'll go first. Yuan Lang carried the book and sneaked into the house, not daring to let people find out.
You must know that when she came back, she also deliberately asked her second sister for the college entrance examination materials, but she didn't find any of them.
All of them were sold by Xie Mu as waste paper.
Chaolang was supposed to repeat his studies for another year, but Father Xie refused to let him live or die, forcing Chaolang to go to Tieshan to dig iron and subsidize his family.
Father Xie's original sentence was, "What are girls doing when they learn so much, they are not from other people's families in the future, so it is better to help the family a little more early." ”
Chaolang, who has always been honest, refuted Father Xie for the first time, but the books were almost burned by Father Xie, but Mother Xie stopped him, so it was paper, which could be exchanged for some money.
After the books were properly hidden, Yuan Lang had the heart to think about what Xie Shubao had inadvertently mentioned just now.
Her fourth sister Shui Lang knew the news of the textile factory's recruitment earlier than herself, and she didn't know where she heard it, but she kept quiet and hid it without saying a word, obviously she had the same idea as herself.
Originally, there was a faint sense of guilt in my heart, and it disappeared, and everyone was for themselves.
It's just that the second sister is good at reading, it's a pity....
