CHAPTER XX

1991-16

On August 2, 1991, Yu Jia still clearly remembers that day long after, the day when Yu Jia felt ashamed for the first time after being reborn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In August, the big willow tree opposite the tube building knew that it was squeaking non-stop from early in the morning. Yu Jia, who will turn six years old in a month, has grown taller again. At Yu Jia's insistence, Wang Liping grew Yu Jia's long hair, and when she got up in the morning, she pulled it into a small short braid and fell on the back of her head.

The shredded hair in front of his forehead was tucked aside by a small clip, revealing the fluffy fetal hair that had not yet receded. The smooth and full forehead and the phoenix eyes that were slightly hung up because of the braids have already revealed a little bit of delicate taste.

No matter how you say it, she is also a soul in her thirties, Yu Jia disagrees with the idea that children can go crazy on the street wearing a vest**, but fortunately, Wang Liping is also very particular about dressing up her daughter, Yu Jia will definitely dress very decently as long as she leaves the house.

Even if he was sent out to buy a soy sauce by Wang Liping, he had to put on his embroidered little white dress, tie the straps of his sandals, take change and soy sauce bottles, and go out safely.

ran into Liu Qing's daughter-in-law who came out to dry clothes next door, and praised Yu Jia fiercely: "Oh, Yu Jia is so beautiful!" Like a starlet! He shouted to the daughter at home through the screen door: "Liu Lei, you have to be shameless, hurry up and put on your clothes!" ”

Yu Jia was praised a little fluttering, so she paid more attention to her posture, raised her head and walked down the stairs with small steps.

When I got out of the staircase, I just heard someone asking Lao Yang Tou, who was reading the newspaper downstairs, where Yu Hongyu's house was, it was a middle-aged woman with a long face wearing low heels, and she looked older than Wang Liping.

Yu Jia was still immersed in the atmosphere that she was a child star, and walked forward and said to people in as standard Mandarin as possible: "Auntie, are you looking for my father?" ”

When Lao Yang saw Yu Jia coming, he pointed: "Ah, this is Yu Hongyu, his girl!" ”

The woman looked Yu Jia up and down, her eyes sharp and shrewd: "Your father's name is Yu Hongyu?" ”

"That's right."

"Oh, I got it right. Do you live here? ”

"Well, the one in the middle of the third floor." Yu Jia raised her finger and said. "Auntie, go up to my mother, my mother is at home."

After speaking, Yu Jia turned around and went to the corner store to get soy sauce.

When I came back, I found that the big girls, little daughters-in-law, and old ladies upstairs and downstairs were all in front of their respective houses, pretending to be busy and listening to the wall. And the source of the gossip is not the woman who stood at the door of his house and talked to Wang Liping in the kitchen through the screen door, the woman he met downstairs just now.

The woman was a loud voice, and before Yu Jia arrived at the door, she heard her yelling,

"Our old king borrowed money from your family, but I don't know! Our family is not familiar with Yu Hongliang at all, and we don't know your family! Don't say when you will return it, I will use it today! Three hundred and five, an old king and eight calves, dare to borrow it from me, he is really bold, I won't pull out his skin when I go back! After the woman finished scolding, she seemed to know that it was a little far: "Hurry up, give me an explanation." ”

Yu Jia no longer had the joy of going out, and rubbed back with her head down. When passing by the door next door, Liu Qing's daughter-in-law looked at her with no more care and appreciation, and was replaced by a pitiful and ridiculous gaze. Liu Lei put on her shirt and probed her brain to play with Yu Jia, but was dragged back by Liu Qing's daughter-in-law and stuffed into the door.

Yu Jia looked at Wang Liping's face flushed through the screen door, and begged the woman in a low voice: "Eldest sister, don't worry, you have something to say in the house." He opened the screen door and let Yu Jia in, and then pulled the woman into the house.

The woman sat on the sofa and looked around, looking at Wang Liping's neat and clean home, and a small pink wildflower was inserted in a vase on the combination cabinet.

Xu thought that he owed money and dared to live such a temperamental life, so he was even more angry: "You see that your family is not without money!" It's not like you can't pay it back, right? Our old king is stupid, I'm not stupid! If you borrow it, you will borrow it for a year, and when the time comes, where will you go to find it! I'm telling you, I'll take the IOU, hurry up, get the money out! ”

Wang Liping made a mistake this time, she vaguely remembered that Yu Jia had to live in a sterile ward after the operation, and everything she ate and drank had to be provided by the hospital, and her family's savings and borrowed money were all spent. When the two were desperate, Yu Jia's second uncle Yu Hongliang did give him 400 yuan, saying that it would be okay to pay it back at the end of 91. It seems that three hundred and five of them were borrowed from this ancestor.

Not long after Yu Jia was discharged from the hospital, the two made a plan to repay the money according to their priorities, but in fact, even at the end of the year, the money may not be able to be repaid in full. And now that the creditor has suddenly come to the door, Wang Liping has nothing to think about at all.

Facing the god on her sofa who couldn't be sent away, Wang Liping searched all the corners of the house where the money was hidden, but she only found eighty-two yuan, six cents and five. This can be saved by Yu Hongyu's salary just paid and Wang Liping's skirt. There are still two hundred and seven left, where will I go!

Wang Liping is still in a hurry, although it is true that this matter is true, but she can't be the master after all, and she doesn't dare to give the money to others recklessly. She took more than eighty yuan with her and poured a glass of cold boiled water for the woman: "Sister, you drink water first, you see that my money is not enough, I will go to my family and make money for you." You wait, my family's unit is close, and I'll be back in a while. ”

In a hurry, he didn't forget to ask Liu Qing's family to take care of Yu Jia, Liu Qing's family agreed, moved a small bench and sat in the corridor and began to pinch the bean strings. At the same time, I didn't forget to prick up my ears and listen.

Yu Jia's house was silent for a while, and then she heard the woman say, "What does your mother cook?" ”

"I don't know." Yu Jia replied with a wilt.

"What did your dad do?"

"By car."

"What's the car?"

After waiting for a while, Yu Jia didn't say anything, and then listened to the woman herself: "If you drive a truck, you don't have much money, if you drive a car, you will have He'er!" What kind of car does your dad drive? ”

Yu Jia still didn't reply.

"This kid looks very smart, why can't he speak? Don't you know what a car is? "The usual trick of adults to coax children to talk is to provoke the law. Of course, it was useless to deal with Yu Jia.

The woman saw that Yu Jia didn't squeak, but she didn't keep the door open.

"It seems that it is really not good. I heard you had surgery? It's not a surgery on the head, is it? How many do you think this is? Do you know how to count? ”

Even Liu Qing's daughter-in-law couldn't listen to it anymore, so she hurriedly shouted: "Yu Jia! Come out? My family Liu Lei is looking for you to play! Seeing that Yu Jia came out, her face was red, the corners of her eyes were red, and she looked pitiful, and she didn't forget to say to Liu Qing's daughter-in-law: "Thank you, aunt!" ”

Liu Qing's daughter-in-law thought to herself: I know that I am giving her the stairs, and I also know that I am saying thank you, this child is not stupid, he is much better than the one in my family!
