19.19 Plateau Homecoming
Liu Haiquan quickly brought a few friends over. Two men pre-ordered the costumes, and the other two girls bought them directly. Ruan Ning was not busy this day.
On the same day, she went to send a telegram to Zhou Zhoushui, asking him to deliver the goods. While waiting for the goods, she still set up a stall in the park every day. Although it is not as profitable as in City C, it can earn seven or eight yuan every day, and it is twenty or thirty yuan a month, which is equivalent to a month's salary for a person who goes to work.
"How's business?" Liu Haiquan came to Ruan Ning's stall after dancing, Ruan Ning smiled and said, "It's just enough for living expenses." β
"I heard that Center Street is going to issue a batch of business licenses to encourage everyone to open stores, you can go to the relevant departments to ask about the situation." The news revealed by Liu Haiquan was an unexpected surprise for Ruan Ning.
"Really, thank you. I'll ask another day. β
Ruan Ning went to the relevant departments to ask about the situation that afternoon, and there was indeed such a thing. She was happy and first revealed the news to her aunt, but her aunt was still not bold enough, although she built a store for her aunt, but her aunt did not dare to invest and wanted to see the situation first.
Ruan Ning first looked for a faΓ§ade room on the street. In fact, most of the houses on Center Street are still bungalows, and she chose a house at the intersection and rented it as much as she could.
She hand-painted the leaflets herself, and when she set up the stall, she handed them out to everyone one by one. It's good to publicize your store address first and make it popular.
Because she was worried about her children, Ruan Ning went home at four o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw a person squatting in the black at the door, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The man stood up after seeing Ruan Ning and smiled innocently, "Sister, you're back." I haven't seen you for a few days. β
Sister? Ruan Ning was stunned, "Who are you?" β
The man touched his head, hasn't we seen him for too long, and my sister doesn't know him? Hurriedly said: "Sister, I am Aimin." You don't know me anymore? β
Love the people?
Ruan Ning finally remembered that this was the son of Ruan Xiaomei's stepmother's ex-husband. I always thought it should be thin and weak, but I didn't expect it to be a big guy. I haven't seen this family since I came here, and I don't have much affection, "Why are you at my doorstep?" β
"Sister, I dealt with the other party, but she thought our house was too broken, I wanted to repair it, and the family had no money. So...... I want to borrow some money from you. Ruan Aimin looked honest, seeing Ruan Ning's attitude cold and indifferent, a little embarrassed, "Sister, I know it's not easy for you, if it doesn't work, forget it, I'll leave ......"
Ruan Aimin was about to leave, but Ruan Ning said, "Wait a minute." β
"Oh." Ruan Aimin obediently stood firm, "What's the matter, sister." β
"Do you paint walls?"
Ruan Aimin said with a puzzled face: "Yes, what will not be this." Not only do I paint walls, but I also do carpentry. Sister, do you want to clean the house? β
"That's right, I have a house that needs to be renovated, and I need manpower, see if you can help me get it." Ruan Ning deliberately didn't mention the matter of giving money, just to see if there was any one with a conscience in the Ruan family.
Ruan Aimin smiled and said, "Okay." Sister. I'll get it for you tomorrow. Then I'll go first. β
Gao Aimin really left, and he was depressed for a while when he got out of the community. He's here to borrow money, how did he get out. Forget it, it's not good to go up again.
The first thing Ruan Ning did after returning home to wash her hands was to hold her daughter who she hadn't seen for a day in her arms, and put a small rattle she bought for the child today in front of her eyes and shook it.
The small drum made a clanging sound, and Ah Fu grinned sweetly, and also stretched out his little hand to take it. The two little feet also kicked one by one, and they were very happy.
Ruan Ning ate dinner, took care of the children and began to get busy again. She drew the general decoration style of the store on the drawings. Then I went to sleep.
In the morning, when she went downstairs after breakfast, she saw Ruan Aimin squatting at the door of the building, with a toolbox beside her. Seeing her come out, she showed a sincere smile and stood up, "Sister, I'm not late." β
"Nope. You...... Have you had breakfast? β
"Not yet." Ruan Aimin touched the back of his head as soon as he was a little embarrassed. Then seeing that she was carrying a large bag of things, she hurriedly reached out and took it, "I'll help you get it." β
"No, I can take it myself, don't you have to take the toolbox."
"It's okay, I have a lot of strength." Ruan Aimin carried the toolbox in one hand and the bag of clothes on his shoulder in the other, and strode forward, followed by Ruan Ning.
Ten minutes later, I came to the storefront.
The house is actually quite dilapidated, and it is impossible to renovate it, which is too expensive. So, keep it simple. She gave the drawings she had drawn to Aimin.
"Look, can you do it?"
Ruan Aimin looked at it and nodded, "Yes, sister." β
"Do you know where to buy the materials?"
"Yes. Sister, you go and get busy with yours. I'll take care of the rest. β
"Okay." Ruan Ning went out, and Ruan Aimin began to study how to decorate, and as soon as he opened the toolbox and took out the ruler, his stomach was also grumbling with hunger. He came out before dawn in the morning, hungry.
Bear with me. He tightened his belt.
"Nguyen Aimin." It was his sister's voice, and he hurriedly turned around, "Sister, what's wrong?" β
"Here you go, when you're full, you have the strength to work." Ruan Ning handed him the bun in his hand. There is also money to buy materials, "you take the money, buy materials." β
Ruan Aimin looked at it and smiled.

midday
Chen Cuihua was cooking lunch, and Gao Youliang was feeding the chickens raised at home in the yard. Bao Ya was doing her homework in the room where Ruan Ning used to live. Suddenly, a loud voice sounded at the gate: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" β
Gao Youliang saw that it was a plateau, and he was surprised and delighted. In the past, I used to take a vacation at most once a year, but why did I come back again in less than half a year this time? Yes, it was last year's vacation, isn't this new year starting again? However, I used to arrive home in the middle of the night, so why did I come back in the middle of the day this time?
"Gao Yuan, why did you come back at this point? Is something wrong? β
At this time, Chen Cuihua and Baoya came out.
"Brother, why are you back?!" Baoya happily hugged Gao Yuan's arm, and Chen Cuihua was also happy, "Why did you come back early this time?" β
"There is something I haven't had time to tell you, the troops are reorganized, and I have been transferred to our city." Gao Yuan kept looking at the house where Ruan Ning lived when he spoke, "It will be convenient to go home in the future." β
"What? Really? β
The whole family rejoiced.
Chen Cuihua hurriedly asked, "Is that a promotion?" What's long now? β
"Battalion commander. Mom, I'm going to see the two of them. Gao Yuan strode to the door and eagerly opened the door, but what fell into his eyes was the emptiness of a room.
Ruan Ning is not there, the child is not there, and there is not even anything for Ah Fu to use. There was a faint bad premonition in my heart, and at this time, Baoya walked in, pulled Gao Yuan's hand, and said timidly: "Brother, sister-in-law...... Moved away. β
"What?" Gao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but widen, and the green handbag in his hand also fell to the ground, and he asked anxiously, "When did your sister-in-law move away?" Why? β
"It's only been a few days since you came back last time to visit your family...... My sister-in-law moved away. β
As soon as Baoya's words came out, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. In other words, when Ruan Ning wrote a letter mentioning divorce, she had already moved out. "Where did you move?"
"The county seat. Where, I ...... I don't know. β
Gao Yuan turned around and walked outside. Chen Cuihua saw him come out, and her face was a little uncomfortable, but she still asked, "Gao Yuan, you just came back, where are you going?" β
"Take a trip." Gao Yuan was dragged by Chen Cuihua, "Gao Yuan, you don't know how powerful your daughter-in-law is." wants to fight this and kill that all day long, and the chickens and dogs at home are jumped by her. Last time, she thought your sister-in-law came to our house for dinner, and she quarreled and broke your sister-in-law's head...... If you find her, you'll have to take care of her! β
Gao Yuan didn't say anything and went out directly. He came to Aunt Ruan Ning's house.
"The plateau is back. When did you come back? Zhang Jianguo was a little surprised when he saw the plateau.
Gao Yuan directly explained his purpose, "Uncle, I want to know where Ruan Ning lives. "I don't even know where my daughter-in-law lives, and he's a wonder.
At this time, Xiaowei came back from school. Zhang Jianguo hurriedly said: "Xiaowei, call brother-in-law." β
Xiaowei's face twisted, "I don't have such a brother-in-law." β
"How can Xiaowei speak?" Zhang Jianguo kicked Xiaowei's buttocks, and said to Gao Yuan: "This kid is spoiled by his mother and is not sensible, Gao Yuan, don't be weird." β
Xiaowei ran to the door, "I'm not as bad as him." Sister Ning Ning was bullied by his parents before she finished her confinement and was homeless, and he didn't care, it's not bad! β
"You kid!" Zhang Jianguo chased Xiaowei to fight, but Xiaowei ran away quickly.
Gao Yuan came out of his uncle's house, and instead of looking for Ruan Ning, he came to the edge of the small river at the edge of the village. Looking at this, remembering the scene when he and Ruan Ning met that night, he couldn't help but smile, but his smile was bitter.
Ruan Ning knew that he was wronged at home, but he was far away and couldn't reach the whip. She traveled all the way to find him, and before she returned, the two had a big fight.
It was he who was sorry for her.
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Baoya took two steamed buns and two potatoes and found them. "Are you thinking about your sister-in-law and little niece? Brother, why don't you go and accompany your sister-in-law, so that your sister-in-law doesn't get angry.
Actually, it's not what our mother said. It's all our mother, who secretly gave the flour you bought for your sister-in-law and Ah Fu's milk powder to her sister-in-law, and scolded Ah Fu for stealing a man's birth. That's why Sister-in-law Ning got angry. β
Gao Yuan listened to it with a pinch, and the guilt made him have no face to see Ruan Ning at all. She didn't say a word about these things in front of him. He rubbed the back of Baoya's head, "Got it, you can go back." β
"Brother, I heard Xiaowei say that my sister-in-law is setting up a stall in the park. If you look there, you'll find it. Don't tell my mother that I said it! Bao Ya stuffed the steamed buns and potatoes into Gao Yuan's hand, turned around and ran.
