Chapter 364: Helping in disguise
"Xuewen, why didn't you say it in advance when you came over today, I'm so prepared. After Li Mingyue poured a cup of tea for Ma Xuewen, she asked very enthusiastically, the girl who was standing next to Li Mingyue washing tomatoes and pears, that is, Li Mingyue's sister, although there was still a little weakness between her eyebrows, but her eyes were full of shining brilliance, and she looked at Ma Xuewen and Dong Yuxuan and others curiously from time to time.
Ma Xuewen took the tea and said: "I promised you to come over a long time ago, I finally found time today, and I have to go to work in other places after a while, so I didn't know in advance that I would come here, which caused a lot of trouble to my uncles and aunts." β
Li Mingyue's father shook his head again and again and said: "Where is there any trouble here, it is too late for you to be happy if you are willing to come, how are your parents doing now, are they busy at home? If there is anything that needs our help, just ask, we are a peasant family, and we have all our strength." β
Chen Jinzhong Gao Yang and Dong Yuxuan were not familiar with Li Mingyue's family, so they didn't speak, they just sat there and listened quietly, and at the same time looked at Li Mingyue's sister with some curiosity, because they had just heard a lot of information at the door, Li Mingyue's family was poor, and both of them could see it, but in such an era, there were patriarchs who didn't let their daughters go to school, and they had never heard of it before.
"It's all good, there's nothing to be busy at home, uncle, you're too polite, if there's a time when you're too busy, I'll definitely tell you in advance." Ma Xuewen took a sip of weak tea, although the tea leaves do not have any special fragrance, but it is very strong, this is a kind of tea that he often drank when he was a child, called the Monkey King, the price is low, but the taste is good, and it is very popular with ordinary people.
A few people chatted without a match, Li Mingyue's mother has been busy in the kitchen, killing chickens, removing hair, making chicken stewed mushrooms, she is doing it alone, Li Mingyue's sister will occasionally run into the kitchen to help out a little, and within an hour, the fragrant meal has been served on the table, Chen Jinzhong and Gao Yang are used to eating fast food and various restaurants in the county, and occasionally change to an authentic farm dish, eating can be described as very happy, even Ma Xuewen has eaten two bowls of rice, and Dong Yuxuan, who has always pecked rice with chickens, also ate a big bowl of rice.
When a few people basically wiped out a pot of chickens, they each rubbed their stomachs, and then Dong Yuxuan, who was silent after entering the house, said: "Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious chicken stew with mushrooms before, I want to buy two chickens and take them back to my parents to eat, I don't know if it is inconvenient for you to sell them to me, the price will definitely not be a disadvantage to you." β
Because she is Dong Qiang's daughter, she is familiar with it on weekdays, and she is also involved in business, so she sounds like a businessman, of course, her original intention is not to really want to buy two chickens, but she sees through Ma Xuewen's thoughts, and also wants to help this family in some difficulties.
Hearing this, Li Mingyue's family was stunned, only to see Li Mingyue's mother hesitantly said: "Our family, our family has an old hen now, and it is still kept."
Without waiting for Li Mingyue's mother to finish speaking, his father took over the words: "The child likes to eat and talks about whether there is money or not, we don't have two in the family, but the remaining old hen you can take back to your parents to eat, after waiting for a while, I asked my relatives to buy one, let Xuewen send it to your family, as long as you like it, just tell sΓΉ Xuewen, we lack everything in the countryside, that is, there is no shortage of chickens, ducks and geese." β
Because I don't know Dong Yuxuan's identity, and her temperament is a little cold, few people are really willing to talk to her if she doesn't speak, not that she doesn't like it, but it's too cold, even if she doesn't mean it, but she also has a cold feeling, so no one asked Dong Yuxuan's identity from the beginning, and Ma Xuewen ignored the steps of the introduction because his mind was not here.
After all, this is a rural area, and his thinking is still relatively old-fashioned, he is always not good to tell the other party directly that this is my girlfriend, I believe that Li Mingyue's parents will not understand their early love behavior, so they omitted this introduction, at this time, I heard Dong Yuxuan speak, originally Li Mingyue's mother wanted to say something, but Li Mingyue's father directly said it to death, as if it was not their chicken, but someone else's chicken.
Of course, this is not because he slapped his swollen face and became fat, but because Ma Xuewen and Chen Jinzhong Gao Yang and others, in their opinion, Ma Xuewen is Li Mingyue's classmate, as a parent, he will definitely not leave a bad impression on the other party, plus Ma Xuewen has helped their family, so this friendship must be repaid, if they are asked to take out how much money, I am afraid it will be a difficult matter, but taking a few old hens out is still within the scope of the solution.
However, there is no need to say much about the importance of this kind of rural old hen for such a family! Although Dong Yuxuan had the heart to help, but the other party didn't give that chance at all, seeing this scene, Ma Xuewen directly changed the topic and asked: "Mingyue, how old is your sister, she should also go to middle school in a few years, right?"
Hearing this, Li Mingyue hurriedly nodded and replied: "After the start of school, she will be in the first year of junior high school, and she is also in Xinxiang Middle School." β
Li Mingyue's parents glanced at each other and didn't say much, they didn't have time to tell Li Mingyue, in fact, they had already discussed it, although they didn't come up with a definite result, but there is only one way to solve this problem at present, the brother and sister must have a dropout to help at home, otherwise they can't afford the cost of two students at all.
"Is your academic performance as good as yours? I'm afraid that Xinxiang Middle School will have another champion in the high school entrance examination in the future, right?" Ma Xuewen asked with a smile as he looked at Li Mingyue's sister.
Li Mingyue smiled and didn't speak, but glanced at her sister, as for Li Mingyue's parents, the atmosphere instantly seemed a little awkward, of course, for Li Mingyue, the other party was praising his sister, but in the ears of his parents, it was a little unpleasant.
Ma Xuewen saw that the time was ripe, and said directly: "The environment of going to Xinxiang Middle School is not as good as that of a private middle school, it just so happens that Yuxuan is the daughter of the school director, let her help ask for a place, and send her sister to Xinxiang directly, I believe that all the expenses will be solved by the school, after all, the country now has this policy, and there are all kinds of subsidies for people with excellent grades." β
PS: The wedding ended successfully, the captain has drunk too much, and there are many typos in the manuscript of these two chapters, so I hope you will bear with me. (To be continued.) )
