Wen Liang raised his head and looked at Wen Qing in surprise.

Yao Shiling stopped what she was doing.

"Eldest sister, where did you get so much money?" Wen Peng asked in surprise.

Wen Qing smiled: "I sold the floral dress." ”

Yao Shiling was stunned, this is not something Wen Qing can do.

"Take it." Wen Qing stepped forward, took Wen Liang's hand, and stuffed four yuan into his hand.

Wen Liang didn't answer, he always hated Wen Qing, Wen Qing followed his second uncle all the year round, he loved to fight since he was a child, and he once beat his little friend to cry and cry, and his little friend never played with him again. Wen Qing not only felt guilty, the bigger she was, the thicker her skin became, the whole village knew that she liked Ji Yanjun in the county seat, and ran to the county seat to find Ji Yanjun in three days, and the village pointed at her behind her back, saying that she was shameless. Wen Liang was disgusted by this.

"Wen Liang, take it." Yao Shiling suddenly opened her mouth.

Wen Qing was slightly stunned, and a trace of warmth passed through her heart.

Wen Liang's fists were still clenched, and he didn't take the money.

"Second brother, you take it, it was given by the eldest sister, and it is not someone else. If you don't pay the tuition again, your homeroom teacher will kick you out. Wen Peng persuaded on the side.

Wen Liang pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and secretly competed.

"Take it, I'll borrow yours, and wait for you to make money. Give it back to me. Wen Qing said with a smile.

Wen Qing's smile is particularly gentle and beautiful. It's not at all the usual flamboyant and annoying look.

Wen Liang was slightly moved, struggled for a while, took the money on the ground, and threw down a sentence: "I will pay you back." Then he ran out of the yard without looking back.

"Second brother, wait for me, wait for me." Wen Peng followed and caught up.

Wen Qing turned to look at Yao Shiling.

Yao Shiling has returned to normal and continues to wash clothes.

Wen Qing knew that her mother had always had a high heart, and some parts of her were the same as her.

She picked up the sack again, and when she walked past Yao Shiling, she heard her say, "When this wheat is sold, I will return the four yuan to you." ”

"Okay." Wen Qingying, and then added: "I haven't taken Ji Yanjun's money, the skirt money was left to me by the second uncle, and it was only twelve yuan in total." ”

"Got it." Yao Shiling said lightly, and continued to bow her head to rub her clothes.

Wen Qing was happy in her heart, and faintly felt that the gap between herself and her mother had become a little thinner, and her movements with the sack were much brisker.

She poured the flour she bought into the flour jar, the rice in the rice jar, the oil in the position of the oil, and after all kinds of things were placed, she began to wash the meat, the meat she bought was fatter, cut off a layer of fatty meat, put it in the pot and fry the oil, put it in a bowl, condensed into oil blocks, and kept it for stir-frying.

When Wen Qing was squeezing oil, Yao Shiling came in and asked, "What are you buying meat for?" "You know, in this era in Shuiwan Village, eating tons of meat and fishy have to wait for the New Year, eat a meal on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and you can't finish it, leaving a little to eat on the first day of the New Year."

"Buy meat to eat." Wen Qing said.

Yao Shiling looked at the noodles, oil, vegetables and meat in the kitchen, and felt distressed: "How much does this cost?" ”

Wen Qing saw that Yao Shiling was talking to herself, it was no longer the tone with gunpowder in her words before, and she was secretly overjoyed, it seems that her mother still loves her daughter, and in the long run, she will definitely be able to make them change their opinion of themselves.

"It didn't cost much, it added up to three or four dollars." Wen Qing said.

Yao Shiling immediately frowned.

Wen Qing hurriedly said, "Mom, I have something to tell you." ”

Yao Shiling stared at the meat and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There is an Aunt Xiao's tailor shop in the county, I have been to the store a few times before, Aunt Xiao's business is good, she wants me to help, and she will pay me every month, and this time the floral dress was also bought by her, so I want to go to her shop every day from tomorrow to help and make some money." Wen Qingping said calmly.

Yao Shiling looked at Wen Qing, she seemed to have never known Wen Qing, this girl has been talking since she was born, her second uncle is very happy, and she plays with her all day long, her second uncle is a bachelor, he has been in prison, and his family is poor and can't marry a daughter-in-law, and Wen Qing is hurt as a daughter-in-law, Wen Qing's clothes and tuition fees are given by her second uncle.

Wen Qing's days when he was really by Yao Shiling's side were numbered.

Yesterday she said something rebellious, she hit her, she felt guilty, but she didn't know how to speak, and at the moment she only asked the incident: "Is it reliable?" Wouldn't lie? Otherwise, Mom will go with you tomorrow to have a look. ”

"Reliable, Mom, you see, Liangliang's tuition, as well as the rice, noodles, and meat in this house are all money given by Aunt Xiao, her shop has been open for a few years, and she won't deceive people." As far as Wen Qing knows, later Aunt Xiao also opened a garment factory and became a big boss and made a lot of money.

"Okay, if you like it, you want it, you go. But the county ...... "Yao Shiling thought of Ji Yanjun.

Wen Qing didn't expect Ji Yanjun to come up at all, thinking that Yao Shiling was thinking about the county seat, so he said: "The county seat is not far from our Shuiwan Village, I walked fast, and I arrived in half an hour." I got off work in the evening, and I came back before it got dark. ”

Yao Shiling never thought that one day her daughter would become what she is now, she was moved, nodded and said, "Good, good, good." ”

Wen Qing's heart warmed and began to prepare dinner.

When Wen Liang and Wen Peng came back from school, the yard smelled a smell of meat, which was mouth-watering.

Wen Liang was stunned.

Wen Peng rushed to the kitchen and asked excitedly, "Mom, are we going to eat meat tonight?" ”

"Hmm." Yao Shiling was adding firewood to the fire in front of the pot, and Wen Qing was in charge.

As soon as I heard that there was meat, I smelled my friend's saliva and was about to flow out, so I didn't need to say that I ran to wash my hands first.

When Wen Liang came in, his face was not good-looking, and when he saw that there was meat, vegetables and flour in the kitchen, his face was extremely unhappy, so he turned his head and entered the hall.

Wen Qing looked at Yao Shiling, Yao Shiling said: "He is like your father, he feels distressed when he sees the money spent." ”

Wen Qing smiled, feeling more and more at home.

Wen Qing is made of Chinese cabbage roast meat, Chinese cabbage is cheap and versatile, the meat is fat and thin, and the condiments such as green onions, salt, and soy sauce are put together, and they are fragrant.

"There's meat to eat, there's meat to eat!" Wen Peng shouted happily.

Yao Shiling covered his mouth: "Don't shout, be careful to let people know." ”

Wen Peng nodded his head and promised not to shout.

Yao Shiling let go of Wen Peng, carried the dining table, and entered the hall, then brought the cabbage roast meat and white flour steamed buns into the hall, closed the courtyard door, and let Wen Qing, Wen Liang, and Wen Peng all enter the hall, closed the door of the hall and started eating.

Wen Liang and Wen Peng are accustomed to this.

Wen Qing probably understands that the Wen family has attracted too much gossip, and they are already poor and can't open the pot, and they eat a whole meal of meat, maybe what will it look like by the neighbors, and how will Wen Liang and Wen Peng marry a daughter-in-law after it is spread.

"Mom, you eat it too, this meat is very delicious." Wen Peng chewed a piece of meat that Yao Shiling had brought over, and took a small bite, looking a little reluctant to eat it.

Yao Shiling smiled: "If it's delicious, you can eat it." Then I sandwiched another piece to Wen Liang, although Wen Liang looked old, but in the end he was a child, he couldn't eat or drink well for a long time, and he suddenly saw meat at this moment, and he was greedy, and he didn't refuse.

Before Yao Shiling gave Wen Qing a clip, Wen Qing clipped a piece to Yao Shiling: "Mom, don't patronize the two of them, you can eat too." ”

"Okay." Yao Shiling also gave Wen Qing a clip.

A hearty dinner was enjoyed until Wen Qing was lying on her bed, she was still reminiscing, and today was like a dream.

She died, turned into a ghost.

She was alive again, back to her seventeen-year-old self.

She spent a day bringing her relationship with her family closer to a big step.

……

Wen Qing has never had such a sense of accomplishment, these are all things she has done, although they are insignificant, but they are enough to give her the confidence to face the next things, and change her destiny and be kind to her loved ones.

As for Ji Yanjun, she was going to forget about this person and find a time to retire her relatives.

However, it is imperative that the problem of survival is solved first.

Early the next morning.

Wen Qing ate breakfast and went to the county seat with yesterday's cloth bag.

Before leaving, he asked, "Will you come back for dinner at noon?" ”

"No, I'll be back in the evening."

"Okay." Yao Shiling nodded: "You come back early." ”

"Hmm."

Wen Qing just left the village, causing another public opinion.

"Look, Wen Qing has gone to the county seat again."

"Tut-tut, I go really diligently, every day."

"Yao Shiling didn't sue sù, okay? The upside-down woman is worthless, and she is still married to Ji Yanjun, and her reputation is ruined. ”

"Last time, the people from my mother's house went to the county seat to buy fabrics, and watched Wen Qing chase a man all over the street, and I heard that the man was Ji Yanjun."

"That's the case, Wen Qing is not ashamed at all, if the Ji family doesn't marry her, I guess she really won't be able to marry."

"That's it, that's it."

“……”

Wen Qing didn't hear the gossip this time, she walked quickly, followed the big dirt road, and went straight to Aunt Xiao's tailor shop in the county seat.

Aunt Xiao was very happy when she saw her coming: "Wen Qing, Wen Qing, you are here, I will wait for you." ”

"Good morning, Aunt Xiao."

"Okay, have you eaten in the morning? I have two big meat buns here, you can take them and eat them. Aunt Xiao said.

"No, no, I'll come back after eating at home." Wen Qing excused himself.

Aunt Xiao smiled: "So, you just came directly to help Aunt Xiao, you kid, you are so punctual." Saying that, Aunt Xiao took a roll of cloth and handed it to her, "What's the matter, I said that you should come over to work, what did you think about?" ”

Wen Qing was silent for a while and said, "Yes." ”

Aunt Xiao was immediately overjoyed: "Really? ”

Wen Qing nodded: "However, I have one condition." ”

"On what terms?"

Wen Qing looked at Aunt Xiao and said, "I sell shoes in your shop." ”

"What? Selling shoes? Aunt Xiao was surprised, and then her face was embarrassed: "I sell clothes here, let you come to help, give you wages, you sell shoes here, it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Wen Qing was not embarrassed, angry or anything else because of Aunt Xiao's refusal, but looked around the store, her floral cotton skirt was gone, and her floral flat-bottomed horizontal striped sandals were gone, and she smiled and asked, "Aunt Xiao, aren't clothes and shoes the most suitable?" ”

Aunt Xiao was speechless.

At this moment, a young woman walked into the store, wearing Wen Qing's floral cotton skirt, and stepping on Wen Qing's floral flat horizontal striped sandals, which looked particularly slender and beautiful.

As soon as the woman came in, she wanted to buy a cotton cloth of the same style and make a matching cotton skirt and sandals.

At the same time, there are those who come here to buy cloth to make clothes, and some who directly bring cloth to trouble Aunt Xiao to make clothes, and then pay for the manual fee.

After looking at the young woman, they asked Aunt Xiao one after another:

"Is this dress from your store? How come I haven't seen it? How much does it cost? I still have cloth at home, give you a dollar for the hand, can you make a set for me? ”

"These shoes look good, too."

"Hey, the shoes are the same fabric as the dress."

"Aunt Xiao, is this all your family? Why don't you hide it from us, are you afraid that we won't have any money? I sue you, my husband and his brother went to the sea to sit on business, and there is no shortage of money for me to buy clothes. ”

“……”

Aunt Xiao was quite helpless when asked, she had made clothes for a few years, but she couldn't compare to Wen Qing's craftsmanship, and after thinking about it, she made all the tunics, smocks, big cotton jackets, and oblique slit pants, how many years have been like this, which is like Wen Qing, a girl with a bright brain, who can choose cloth and look good.

So, he stubbornly said, "It's from my store, it's okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Turning his head, he whispered to Wen Qing and said, "It's okay to sell shoes, you have to give me three cents for a pair of shoes, and you have to help me sell clothes." ”

Wen Qing smiled.
