"Hmm." Lin Xiao responded generously, and he didn't feel inferior to his family when he was poor like in his previous life, inferiority is the most useless thing, what's wrong with being poor, she doesn't steal or rob, she stands upright and straight, "Are you going to open a store so early?" Last time I heard you say that you opened a gift shop, is the business good? ”

Li Xianglan stroked the tail of her hair tied high on the top of her head, and said quite modestly, "It's okay, within my expectations, the little boys and girls are now popular with these small gifts, you may not know, I recently planned to open a branch at the gate of the second middle school to try, today I went to see the façade, I didn't expect to meet you." ”

If it weren't for the fact that she had made too deep an impression on them the day before yesterday, maybe she would have been blinded by her current modest appearance, fortunately, they had seen it in advance and had already been mentally prepared, but Lin Xiao still agreed with her idea of opening a branch at the school gate, and students were most likely to accept beautiful new things.

Lin Xiao also has this idea, but she doesn't have time to take care of it now, it's not bad to rent a storefront at the school gate, she thinks it's better to buy a storefront first? Rent it to someone else and open your own store when you have time? Lin Xiao was moved by this matter together-

Li Xianglan may not know that it was her seemingly modest words that inspired Lin Xiao, her eyes swept over the two sisters, and she didn't stay long, she didn't have to sell those artificial crystal things in the store, she has her own purchase channels, and there are more good-looking artificial crystal things elsewhere, so she can pick and buy.

The people in the bus went up and down, but they didn't crowd the car, just like Lin Xiao is well aware, at this time, others are still used to taking rickshaws, and they are not very suitable for the bus, which has a strong smell, so it is better to spend two or three more yuan to take a rickshaw.

"When my branch opens, you two sisters will come and have a look?" When Li Xianglan got out of the car, she turned around and said to them, "You also support me a little business, and I will give you a discount." ”

Lin Jie smiled, and pulled Lin Xiao away.

"It's a pity that we don't have the money or energy, otherwise we could have opened our own shop in front of the school." Lin Jie looked at the breakfast shop at the entrance of the school, there are also decent stationery stores, and the stationery store also sells small gifts, with very few varieties, and there is not much room to choose, "Ah Xiao, you see that the house over there is going to be sold." ”

Lin Xiao also looked over, there was still a way from the school gate, it seemed that the store was a little farther away, but in fact, it was only twenty or thirty steps, the house was very old, but it was not the kind of dangerous house that would fall down when it looked at it, it just looked relatively old-

Wouldn't it be nice to buy such a house?

Lin Xiao was a little moved.

But she doesn't want to buy it herself, she has to ask an intermediary, she doesn't really understand what procedures are needed to do a house, after all, she has never bought a house herself, and there is a red paper pasted on the door of the house, and the price is also written, which happens to be 10,000 yuan, compared to the town house price of 10,000 yuan per square meter later, this price is simply a conscience price.

But she's still short of money.

The difference in money is two thousand.

Lin Xiao was simply kneeling, and the money was always used for a short time.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough money on hand," Lin Jie sighed, the money in hand added up to more than 1,000 points, far from more than 10,000, and seeing the opportunity slip away from her eyes made her very unhappy, so she still pulled Lin Xiao away, "Don't look at it, the more you will think about it if you look at it a few more times." ”

Lin Xiao wanted to say that she still had money, or ask her uncle to borrow some money, and put it together, but-she thought about it and dispelled this idea, not that she didn't want her sister to know about the money, but how to explain the origin of the money, and asked the uncle to borrow money, and they must ask them why they borrowed money.

It's still a lot of trouble to think about, and then she will have to explain not only the origin of the money to her sister, but also the origin of the money to everyone in the family, big and small, and it will be a headache to think about it, so it is better to put it ,—— when it comes in handy.

They saw it, Li Xianglan also saw it, just like the two sisters of Lin School thought, she also chose this house, she can afford the money, even if she can't afford it, isn't there still Gu Boping, why is she and Gu Boping, the eldest girl followed Gu Boping at a young age, and she didn't want to live a more prosperous life.

Without hesitation, she knocked on the door of the house, intending to buy this house, the house is an old-fashioned two-story building, she has a plan when she walks in, the house has to be repaired when she buys it, and then it is rented to students one by one, and the downstairs room facing the street is used by her to open a shop, one house has two uses, the best.

Two weeks later, on Friday, when the two sisters walked out of the school with their books, they saw that the house that had been labeled "for sale" had been renovated, and they felt a sense of loss in their hearts.

When they returned home, Zhao Xia was already at home, ready to cook and wait for the two of them to go home, the dishes on the table were rare and hearty, there were braised pork belly, small artichoke milk cakes, tomato egg soup, plum boy fish braised fish, and a bowl of pickles and fried mushrooms.

Lin Xiao likes to eat meat the most, and he didn't even let go of the broth, and ate it all with rice.

Lin Jie's taste is relatively light, but she is also full.

Zhao Xia looked at her two daughters, smiled sincerely, and handed over these two months' wages to Lin Jie, "Well, you two sisters take this money, don't use it indiscriminately, you have to save it, I keep three hundred yuan for myself to use for ordinary use." ”

Lin Jie counted it, and there was almost three thousand dollars, which made her a little surprised, and she counted it again, and it was indeed the right amount before she was relieved, "Mom, have you earned so much money?" ”

"Well, others earn more than me," Zhao Xia either didn't earn this money when she was doing business before, or she didn't save it, but now she feels that her waist is much harder, and she seems to be able to save money, "I'm slower than others, and I guess I can't do it faster, and I can earn this." ”

"It's a lot," Lin Xiao looked at her mother with sparkling eyes, "Mom, don't compare yourself with others, you can do as much as you can, if you feel tired, go home early, it's always better to rest early, my sister and I are not at home, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Zhao Xia got up and served another bowl of rice, and glanced at Lin Xiao with a smile, "I know, I don't compare with others, others are fast, I'm just like that, no matter how fast I am, I can't be fast, I can earn more than 1,000 a month." ”

"Yes, Mom, don't look at how much others earn, you also work hard," Lin Jie also said, "I and Ah Xiao have midterm exams next week, and we may not go home next week." ”

"Midterm exams? Coming to the exam so soon? Zhao Xia was a little surprised, "Last time your brother-in-law wanted you to teach Ah Ying during the winter vacation, I said that I would wait until you had the winter vacation." ”

"Teach Ah Ying?" Lin Xiao repeated and nodded, "I'll go, my sister is in her third year of high school, I really don't have the time to go, it is estimated that they have to make up classes during the winter vacation, and they can't waste my sister's time." ”

Zhao Xia also agreed, after all, the third year of high school is more important, "It's okay, I'll say this to your uncle then." ”

has been selling crystal things for several weeks, and it has almost been sold, the money in Lin Jie's hand is almost two thousand, plus the money given by Zhao Xia, it adds up to almost five thousand, and when she put it in the passbook, Lin Jie's heart really beat very fast, and when she walked out of the credit union, she carefully put her hands down her pockets and pressed the passbook tightly, for fear that the passbook would disappear from her pocket.

When he returned to school, the doorman Abel handed Lin a letter.

Lin Xiao was still a little surprised, and he didn't know who wrote the letter? She didn't have a correspondence with her pen pal, she broke off the relationship in junior high school, and when she saw the letter, her first thought was which pen pal wrote the letter to her, and it wasn't until she read the words on the letter that she knew who wrote it-

She can also write that kind of words, and she can write almost like them.

The sender didn't write his name, but wrote an address, which was the address of the provincial capital, and she guessed Gu Jingsheng.

In front of her sister, she didn't open the letter immediately.

Lin Jie didn't read the meaning of her letter, so she told her, "Don't reply to some messy letters, you know?" ”

Lin Xiao nodded immediately.

When she arrived in the classroom, she had the opportunity to open the letter, which was written very shortly, just one sentence, happy birthday!

She was speechless.

Her birthday was Friday, and the letter came too late.

But I was very happy to receive other people's blessings on my birthday, although this letter came from Gu Jingsheng, she really wanted to distance herself from this person, but she was still willing to accept the kindness, but after reading the letter, she tore it up, tearing it into pieces very small, and Xie Yan, who was at the same table, was curious.

"Why did you tear up the letter?" Xie Yan leaned over, smiled a little mysteriously, and guessed, "Is it a love letter written to you by someone who hates it?" ”

"No," Lin Xiao replied, wrapping the torn letter paper and the envelope together and throwing them into the paper basket, then returned to the table, and spread his hands at Xie Yan, who looked curious, "I just wrote a letter to me from someone I knew before, and I don't plan to communicate with it in the future, so I tore the letter." ”

"Not going to come and go?" Xie Yan was even more curious, "Has it come to this point?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Xiao responded succinctly.

Xie Yan didn't ask, and he wasn't a fool with no eyes, so he could naturally see that Lin Xiao didn't want to say more, so he restrained his curiosity and didn't continue to ask.

The midterm exam came quickly, like a tornado, like the most courses in the first year of high school, because there were no arts and sciences, so all the courses had to be tested, and the school set strict regulations, and the junior high school students were divided into exams, which also stopped students from cheating to a certain extent.

And the most worrying thing is that the results of the mid-term examination directly affect whether the students in the ordinary class in the next semester can be transferred to the key class, the mid-term examination results and the final examination results account for half of each, according to the ranking, the good grades enter the key class, just like cutting straw, cut the best away.

After the exam, I rested.

Lin Xiao didn't feel very nervous, and it could be regarded as a normal performance, compared to Xie Yan's nervousness, she was really like no one else, she handed in the paper when the time was about the same, not particularly early, not particularly late.

As soon as he got out of the examination room, the classmates were all answering each other, Xie Yan was also crowded there to answer with his classmates, and he made a disheartened voice from time to time, and there was a kind of emotion of failing the exam - Lin Xiaodao didn't squeeze into the pile of classmates, she didn't care about the answer at all, she had already done it, and the answers were all written, even if she knew that she was wrong now, she couldn't change the answer, so it was better not to go to the answer, just wait for the results to come out.

It's hers, she can't run away, it's not hers, she can't hold it tightly, and she can't hold it firmly.

However, before the grades came down, she went to the head teacher Gong, as well as Chen Chunwei and Ma Duanduan to participate in the county's Australia/door knowledge competition, the strangest thing is that she still wanted to take away her information, but she couldn't find it, but Lin Xiao didn't think much about it, anyway, she had seen it at the time, and she still remembered it, so she didn't have to ask for that information.

Chen Chunwei and Ma Duanduan's information is there, they sit on the bus and read the information - Lin Xiao has no information to consolidate and can only sleep with her eyes closed, she still has a little problem with motion sickness, and she also brought an orange before leaving, and as soon as the orange peel was peeled, she covered her nose and squinted her eyes and fell asleep.

Teacher Gong, the head teacher, looked at her and didn't say anything, but he thought she was in a good mood, so he didn't quarrel with her, let her fall asleep, thinking that it would not be too late to call her when the station arrived.

When he arrived at the county bus station, Lin Xiao was woken up, fell asleep in a daze, and didn't know where he was for a while, and only after seeing Teacher Gong's enlarged face did he wake up a little and follow her off.

A group of four people went directly to the county No. 1 middle school, the road is to stop the disabled car past, a little cheaper than the rickshaw, of course, it is cheaper than a taxi, about ten minutes later, before finally arrived at the county No. 1 middle school, not a day off, the county No. 1 middle school students are still in the school, I used to think that the No. 2 middle school is quite a big campus, to the county No. 1 middle school only to know that the first middle school is bigger, compared to the old No. 2 middle school, the first middle school looks more youthful.

The examination is arranged in the lecture hall of No. 1 Middle School, walk in from the entrance of the classroom, you can see the horizontal banner pulled up by the science and technology building from a distance, talking about today's competition, they walked over, they received a lot of curious eyes, because they came on behalf of the school, they wore school uniforms, and they did not wear the school uniforms issued by the city, but the school uniforms made by the school itself, especially with the characteristics of the school, particularly conspicuous.

The knowledge competition, naturally, is the first middle school in the county, and then the second middle school in the county and the third middle school in the county compete for the peak.
