"What is she coming from?" Ji Ningzhi said unhappily.

Since the last time Ji Ningzhi took money to find someone to splash dirty water, not only did she not drive Wen Qing out of the county, but instead made Wen Qing's reputation soar, and her own reputation plummeted, she cried at home for a few days, and at this moment she saw Wen Qing like an enemy.

"Ning Zhi, don't be like this, if you treat Wen Qing like this, your brother will be unhappy." Zhang Fangfang said.

"I'll leave him alone! He will protect this person who is not ashamed! ”

"Otherwise, let's go to another store to buy stationery." Zhang Fangfang is about to leave.

"Why? Buy it right here! Ji Ningzhi walked inside in a huff.

Wen Liang and Wen Peng didn't know Ji Ningzhi and Zhang Fangfang, and looked at the stationery as usual.

Especially Wen Peng, reaching out and grabbing the corner of Wen Qing's clothes, hummed: "Sister, I want to put up a picture, I want to put a sticker......"

"If you don't buy it, you don't have any money!" Wen Liang reprimanded: "Can you eat stickers?" ”

Wen Peng bowed his head and did not speak.

No money?

Ji Ningzhi smiled maliciously, poor rural people are poor rural people, and they can't afford to buy two stickers, which is embarrassing. Ji Ningzhi glanced at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing didn't see it.

When Zhang Fangfang walked towards Wen Qing, he looked at Wen Qing with a smile and beckoned: "Hey, Wen Qing, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Wen Qing raised her eyebrows, she didn't have to please the Ji family, she had nothing to do with Ji Yanjun, and she had no interests with Zhang Fangfang, how Zhang Fangfang worked hard to interpret the "interferer" between her and Ji Yanjun in her previous life, she remembered it clearly, although until she died, Ji Yanjun was unmoved, but Zhang Fangfang's behavior was enough for her to respond, she was not a good person in her last life, and she was not a virgin in this life, she was also angry, glanced at Zhang Fangfang, pulled a dry smile in response, and then turned her head away.

Zhang Fangfang suddenly felt that his hot face was on his cold buttocks, his face stiffened, and he had to smile awkwardly.

After Ji Ningzhi saw it, he was very unhappy and shouted loudly: "Wen Qing, Sister Fang Fang greeted you and you didn't see it!" Do you know how to be polite?! ”

Wen Qing and Wen Peng were choosing Journey to the West stickers, tilted their heads slightly, and said sternly: "In public places, noise is prohibited." ”

Ji Ningzhi's face turned red, and the school often made some plain and civilized slogans, such as "In public places, no noise", "Forbidden."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fangfang stepped forward and grabbed Ji Ningzhi's wrist to ease the atmosphere: "Ningzhi, come on, don't you want to buy a meter ruler?" Here's a little smaller, fifteen centimeters. "The meter ruler is the scale used in school.

Ji Ningzhi was pulled aside, still angry in his heart.

Wen Liang and Wen Peng were puzzled why Ji Ningzhi suddenly shouted just now.

Wen Peng turned his head to look at Zhang Fangfang and Ji Ningzhi.

Wen Liang heard the two words "Ningzhi", it seemed that Ji Yanjun had a younger sister named Ji Ningzhi, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Fangfang and Ji Ningzhi, both of them were about the same age as Wen Qing, and they were much more fashionable than the girls in Shuiwan Village, and he secretly did that the person called Ningzhi in front of him was Ji Yanjun's sister Ji Ningzhi, Wen Liang suddenly frowned and said, "Sister, let's go." ”

Wen Qing glanced at Wen Liang, thinking that her two younger brothers were there, she nodded: "Okay." ”

Wen Peng was still young and didn't understand the situation, so he said again: "Sister, buy stickers." ”

"Don't buy it!" Wen Liang said unhappily.

Wen Qing, Wen Liang, and Wen Peng turned around and heard a voice from behind: "Boss, I want ten "Journey to the West" stickers." ”

Wen Peng was stunned, do you want ten? So powerful.

Wen Liang's brows furrowed even deeper.

Wen Qing was too lazy to pay attention to Ji Ningzhi.

"Hey, okay, do you want "Journey to the West" for all ten?" The boss asked.

"Both!" Ji Ningzhi raised his chin and said to Wen Qing: "If you don't have money, don't go to the stationery store, what to pretend, it's really thick-skinned." ”

Wen Peng looked confused, who did this girl say had no money? Anyway, his eldest sister is always rich.

Wen Liang's face has already been put out.

Wen Qing sighed secretly, this Ji Ningzhi is really ...... She turned her head and looked straight at Ji Ningzhi, her gaze was calm, which calmly made Ji Ningzhi panic.

Wen Qing immediately rolled his eyes and asked unhurriedly: "Boss, are there any stickers for "Sanmao Wanderings" and "Railway Travel Team"?" ”

The boss hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Wen Qing: "That's good, there are five stickers for "Journey to the West", "Sanmao Wanderings", and "Railway Travel Team". Then he looked at Ji Ningzhi's hand, his posture was higher than Ji Ningzhi's, and asked, "Boss, is there still a meter ruler in this girl's hand?" There is no one meter, fifty centimeters. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The boss said.

Wen Qingyan said without blinking: "Okay, five handfuls of fifteen centimeters, five handfuls of fifty centimeters, and five handfuls of one meter." ”

Ji Ningzhi immediately became unhappy, the things in her hand Wen Qing, a poor village, actually want it?

Wen Liang, Wen Peng, and the stationery store owner were dumbfounded, buy so much?

Zhang Fangfang also wondered, Wen Qing has the money to buy?

Wen Qing turned his head to look at the pencils in the store and said, "Boss, give me a dozen of these pencils, a box of erasers, a box of pencil sharpeners, and by the way, two double-layer iron stationery boxes." ”

"Sister." Wen Liang didn't know what Wen Qing was doing, so he opened his mouth to stop it.

Wen Qing took a New Rural brand fountain pen and a bottle of New Rural brand ink and said, "This is the most expensive, give me one each." ”

Wen Qing slapped Ji Ningzhi's face with her actual behavior, didn't she say that she had no money? She buys it for you to see, who is not rich, who is going to have money! Ji Ningzhi's face flushed with anger, Zhang Fangfang pulled her and said, "Ningzhi, forget it, don't worry about her." ”

Ji Ningzhi is such a person who gives up so lightly, she got angry, pointed to the "most expensive pen and ink" that Wen Qing said, and said: "I want ten copies of what she wants, and I want double the rest she wants!" ”

After speaking, Ji Ningzhi felt that he had won a game, his face was full of pride, he looked at Wen Qing, and seemed to say, "Do you dare to buy more than me?" Do you have any money? ”

The stationery store owner was stunned.

Zhang Fangfang was also stunned.

Wen Liang and Wen Peng looked at Ji Ningzhi like fools.

Wen Qing looked sideways at Ji Ningzhi, suddenly smiled, extraordinarily bright, and said gently: "Okay, boss, don't be busy with me, entertain big customers, I'll just come by myself, stickers, meter rulers, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, stationery boxes totaling six yuan and eight cents, the price of the new countryside has recently increased, and the pen and ink add together for two cents and five cents, a total of eight yuan and five cents." Boss, do you think I'm right? Without hesitation, Wen Qing took out a wallet from Wen Peng's schoolbag and gave it to the stationery store owner for ten yuan.

Ji Ningzhi's face changed, Wen Qing didn't compare her? Didn't Wen Qing love to compare with her the most before? Why don't you buy it now?

"Yes, yes, little girl, you're right." The owner of the stationery store politely found two yuan and said, "Forget about five cents, as a discount." After all, she stimulates other customers to buy double.

Wen Qing took the money, pulled Wen Liang and Wen Peng to take two steps, and then turned around and said, "By the way, boss, the things that the beautiful girl bought are twenty-six yuan and a dime." Wen Qing turned to Ji Ningzhi again and smiled: "Ningzhi, I know that you have money, twenty-six yuan and a dime, not a penny, but you can't be like a poor person like me." ”

After speaking, Wen Qing pulled Wen Liang and Wen Peng away.

Ji Ningzhi was so angry that she almost vomited blood, she didn't expect Wen Qing to compare with her, Wen Qing directly checked out and left, leaving a mess for her.

"Ning Zhi ......," Zhang Fangfang turned his head and shouted.

"Wen Qing!" Ji Ningzhi shouted, but Wen Qingtou didn't reply, she stomped her feet in place angrily, causing passers-by to look at her.

"Ning Zhi." Zhang Fangfang said: "Everyone is watching." ”

Ji Ningzhi calmed down, her eyes were red with anger, twenty-six yuan a dime, she had planned to spend one yuan to buy stationery, this ...... She wanted to say no to buy it, but the customers in the store were staring at her with a pair of eyes, and she would definitely be scolded to death when she bought it home, and she couldn't buy it.

"Little girl, do you want more?" The stationery store owner asked.

As soon as Ji Ningzhi raised his eyes, there were many pairs of suspicious eyes. Ji Ningzhi was anxious, turned his head, and asked aggrievedly: "Sister Fang Fang, do you have enough money?" ”

Zhang Fangfang was stunned for a moment, and said with difficulty: "I ......"

"When my brother comes back from Dongzhou, I'll ask him to pay you back." Ji Ningzhi said reluctantly.

Zhang Fangfang had no choice but to say, "I only have fifteen yuan on me." ”

"Then give it to me, I've got eleven dollars." Ji Ningzhi said.

Zhang Fangfang took out the money and handed it to Ji Ningzhi, raised his eyes and looked outside the stationery store, Wen Qing's sister and brother had long since disappeared, Zhang Fangfang secretly thought, this Wen Qing is not the previous Wen Qing at all, the original Wen Qing will only clash head-on and compete head-on, and now Wen Qing actually pits Ji Ningzhi without any effort, and even himself is implicated, it seems that he will have to be careful of this Wen Qing in the future.

After all, Wen Qing was so domineering before, and Ji Yanjun was ...... So Wen Qing is so ...... now Zhang Fangfang didn't dare to think about it.

And Wen Qing was already far out of Stationery Street at this time.

Wen Liang said unhappily: "If you are angry, you are angry, why do you buy these?" Waste of money! ”

Wen Qing said: "I'm not angry. ”

Wen Liang looked at her and expressed disbelief.

Wen Qing explained: "Two stationery boxes, one for you and one for friends." Ten pencils, five pencil sharpeners, and five meters of ruler each In addition to you, me, and friends, at least two copies of Aunt Xiao's tailoring shop are kept for clothes, and one copy is also used to make clothes at home, and I want to take one to school to make clothes and do homework by the way, I still think it is not enough. ”

As soon as Wen Qing explained this, Wen Liang suddenly understood that Wen Qing had planned it: "What about Ji Ningzhi?" ”

It turned out that Wen Liang guessed that she was Ji Ningzhi, Wen Qing smiled: "It's okay, she can use it until she graduates from college." ”

Wen Peng said seriously: "Eldest sister, ten bottles of ink will be broken before graduating from college." ”

"You'll say." Wen Liang said strictly.

Wen Qing smiled and touched Wen Peng's head.

Ji Ningzhi and Zhang Fangfang, who were in the stationery store here, came out with a lot of things, and the two of them had different irritability on their faces.

Zhang Fangfang was even a little angry Ji Ningzhi, he couldn't hold his breath, and Wen Qing stimulated him and hit the trick.

Ji Ningzhi was also a little dissatisfied with Zhang Fangfang, saying that she was taking her shopping, but she brought fifteen yuan, and the two of them together were twenty-six yuan, which was a dime short of the stationery store owner.

The owner of the stationery store is happy, and he is ready to give her a discount the next time Wenqing girl comes to buy stationery. Today, because of the girl's words, I made a lot of money.

At the same time, Wen Qing, Wen Liang, and Wen Peng had already gone to Aunt Xiao's tailor shop, left two copies of the rice ruler, pencil, eraser, and pencil knife in the store, and then took Wen Liang and Wen Peng to the big market to buy fresh meat, and prepared to go back to Baodian dumplings, and the family had a reunion, and then they were ready to go to school.

After a qiē, the three sisters and brothers walked on the dirt road, chatting happily.

Wen Peng clenched the sticker tightly, and his heart was beautiful.

"Look at you." Wen Liang deliberately glanced at Wen Peng.

Wen Qing said: "Friends, study hard." ”

"Okay." Wen Peng agreed.

After returning home, after the family ate dumplings stuffed with pork and celery, they began to discuss Wen Qing's schooling.

The high schools of this era are different from the later high schools, except for the books, they don't have to bring their own, all the others bring their own, quilts, sheets, food, white porcelain jars for cooking, clothes are all prepared by themselves, there is no school uniform, in fact, there are school uniforms, but no one can afford to buy them, so the school wears school uniforms, and there are only a few rich people.

Two days in advance, Yao Shiling found out the best quilt at home, that is, there are fewer patches, and the latest quilt is actually the quilt made two years ago, wrapped in a sturdy package, and kept saying: "Wen Qing, don't be so strong when you go to school, others say a word about you, you can bear it, don't make trouble, ah." ”

Wen Qing packed up the books and nodded, "Okay." ”

"Don't rush to talk, everyone who rushes is not happy, be careful that your classmates will isolate you."

"Okay."

"Eat more when you eat, don't starve yourself."

"yes, got it."

"When you're not in class, just stay in school, don't run around, there are a lot of bad people, and you're a girl."

"Hmm."

"Don't get too close to boys, it's not good. Wait until you go to college and then deal with someone, you know? ”

"Mom, got it."

Yao Shiling explained one by one, looked at the packed quilt and said: "Wen Qing, this quilt is not thin, it will be September soon, it will be cold when it rains, it shouldn't be cold." Yao Shiling became worried.

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Mom, don't bring the quilt, it's so heavy, I'll buy it again there." ”

"How expensive it is to buy it again, this is a quilt made of cotton at home, which is really warm. Bought are adulterated. Yao Shiling said, turning around and going to get a canned bottle again.

Wen Qing asked curiously, "Mom, what is this?" ”

"Bean paste." Yao Shiling said: "I heard your Aunt Wang say today, the students are very hard, there is a boy in Shanwan Village who goes to secondary school, and every week he walks home and says that the food in the canteen is not delicious, and when he gets home, he carries half a pocket of thick noodle cakes and a bottle of soybean sauce to school to eat. ”

Wen Qing smiled, it was bitter, but it was also because he was poor and had no money to eat in the canteen.

"I mixed shredded meat in this bean sauce, if the food in the cafeteria is not delicious, you can eat this." Yao Shiling said, and then took the white porcelain jar over and said: "And this, this is fried beans mixed with noodles, you should eat it as a snack." ”

"Mom, I'm sure I'm going to come back once a month, don't let me move away, I'll take this bean sauce, and you can leave the rest for Liangliang, Pengpeng." Wen Qing said with a smile.

"They're at home, what can't they eat? You take it all. ”

Wen Qing didn't have anything to do, after tidying up, Wen Qing wanted to bring something heavier than herself, and finally had to persuade Yao Shiling to reduce half of the things. But Yao Shiling just didn't feel at ease, and stuffed some things for Wen Qing.

The night before leaving.

Wen Qing gave Wen Liang twenty yuan and Wen Peng ten yuan, and asked them to pay the tuition tomorrow, and save the rest of the money by themselves. gave Yao Shiling another hundred yuan, telling her not to save, eat and drink well, and smell Liang and Wenpeng to grow up.

Yao Shiling's eyes were red.

Wen Peng cried directly: "Eldest sister, when will you come back?" ”

Wen Qing smiled and touched Wen Peng's fleshy black face: "I haven't left yet." ”

"I can't bear to let you go." Wen Peng said.

"I come back at least once a month."

"Then I'll pick you up in the county seat then."

"Okay."

Early the next morning, Wen Liang and Wen Peng put on new clothes and shoes, carried new schoolbags and said goodbye to Wen Qing reluctantly, and then went to their school to report.

Yao Shiling used an ox cart to pull Wen Qing's luggage and sent Wen Qing to the county seat.
