30. Chapter 30
"Sit down." Wen Qing said.
Yao Shiling took the opportunity to carry the stool and put it next to Aunt Wang's lap: "Aunt Wang, you're welcome, sit down and say something if you have something to say." ”
Aunt Wang lingered outside the fence courtyard for a long time, imagining that Wen Qing and Yao Shiling would not open the courtyard door for themselves, or treat each other badly, or Wen Qing would take out a sickle and stab herself directly. I didn't think that Wen Qing and Yao Shiling would treat me politely at all.
Suddenly, Aunt Wang's whole face turned red, and compared with the way her relatives and friends treated her, Wen Qing and Yao Shiling were simply her own mothers.
"Sit down." Yao Shiling said.
Aunt Wang nodded, sat down, but was so excited that she sat on the corner of her buttocks, sat on the ground, and arched the stool.
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang!" Wen Qing and Yao Shiling hurried to pull Aunt Wang on the ground.
Aunt Wang suddenly let out a "wow" and cried.
Wen Qing and Yao Shiling were taken aback.
At the same time, outside the fence courtyard wall, several good neighbors were listening to the corner of the wall, and when they heard Aunt Wang howling, they all said:
"It's not going to be going to be messy again, is it?"
"Aunt Wang ran to Wen Qing's house to scold?"
"I think so."
"Aunt Wang is going to splash it again."
As soon as the whispers of several people fell, they heard Aunt Wang crying in Wen Qing's room: "Sister-in-law of the Wen family, Wen Qing, I can't live with you, I can't live with you, I'm wrong, I'm wrong......"
Good thing neighbors were stunned, Aunt Wang has always been a scoundrel, there is no worst only worse, two years ago, I borrowed ten catties of white noodles from Sister Zhou's house, and I haven't paid it back until now, before Sister Zhou said that her family has no noodles and wants to pay it back. Aunt Wang not only admitted it, but also said that Sister Zhou lied to herself. There is also this time that the wheat straw stack was burned, Aunt Wang is a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, if she doesn't pay, she doesn't have anything to compensate anyway, and even said that she was affected by natural disasters, yes, she herself said that it was a "natural disaster" blown by strong winds, saying that she was the most severely affected, and asked the village chief to write an application and report to the state, so that the state could support her a little.
Such a brazen person actually cried and confessed his mistake to Wen Qing and Yao Shiling. It's really a lot of money in the sky, the first time in my life.
Yao Shiling was also abnormally looked by Aunt Wang.
Wen Qing is peaceful, what she wants is this effect, a wicked person like Aunt Wang, the more evil she is, the more vulnerable she is, and she will be hit when she pokes it.
"Aunt Wang, what are you doing here? Hurry up, hurry up. Yao Shiling grabbed Aunt Wang's arm and pulled her to the stool.
Aunt Wang held Yao Shiling and Wen Qing's hands: "Sister-in-law of the Wen family, Wen Qing, I was wrong, I was wrong that day, I shouldn't have wronged you, it was our second tiger who burned your wheat straw, I will compensate you later, and I will compensate you later." ”
Aunt Wang had a handful of snot and tears, quite sad.
Wen Qing said: "Okay, you sit down first, sit down and let's talk well." ”
"Wen Qing, Wen Qing." Aunt Wang held Wen Qing's wrist tightly: "Wen Qing, Wen Qing, I know that you are now developed and have the ability, and you have the final say in this family, my family's two acres of land are almost barren, I can't buy corn seeds, sweet potato seedlings, and I can't borrow them, I really don't have a job." Wen Qing, lend me your corn seeds and sweet potato seedlings......"
Before Aunt Wang finished crying, Wen Qing immediately took over the conversation and said, "Okay, Aunt Wang, get up." ”
Yao Shiling was stunned, Wen Qing agreed so easily? Didn't Wen Qing say clearly at first that she didn't care about Aunt Wang? What's going on here?
Aunt Wang was stunned, quickly wiped her tears, stood up, held Wen Qing's hand tightly, and her eyes were full of gratitude: "Wen Qing ......"
Wen Qing didn't say much, but turned to Yao Shiling: "Mom, let's open the cellar now and go get sweet potato seedlings." ”
The successive things made Yao Shiling focus on Wen Qing, so at this moment, whatever her daughter said was what she said, and immediately said: "Okay." ”
Wen Qing and Yao Shiling ignored Aunt Wang, put the kerosene lamp in the lampshade, carried the lamp, and walked to the cellar by the wall with an umbrella.
Aunt Wang didn't have time to hold an umbrella, so she ran to the cellar.
The cellar of Shuiwan Village is a large pit dug on the spot, and there are wooden shelves on the pit, and wheat straw and corn stalks mixed with soil are built on the wooden shelves, which are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are specially stored for sweet potato seedlings, sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage, potatoes, etc.
Yao Shiling lifted the mud straw on the log door of the cellar and removed the log door.
Wen Qing handed the umbrella to Yao Shiling and said, "Mom, you come and hold the umbrella, and I'll go down to get sweet potato seedlings." ”
"Be careful, there's a bamboo basket in the cellar, just bring it up." Yao Shiling said.
"Okay." Wen Qing responded.
Without waiting for Wen Qing to hand the umbrella to Yao Shiling, Aunt Wang came over and said: "Sister-in-law of the Wen family, don't don't, don't let Wen Qing go down, it's all dirt, Wen Qing is clean, I'll go down, I'll go down." ”
"How can I let you go down." Yao Shiling said.
"It's okay, it's okay." Aunt Wang said, Ma slipped down the cellar, because she was too anxious, she fell into the cellar, the soil in the cellar was soft, and it was okay to fall down.
Yao Shiling held an umbrella, stood in front of the cellar, and sent the lamp to the cellar so that Aunt Wang could inspect the situation.
"Did you find the basket?" Yao Shiling asked.
"Found it, found it." Aunt Wang's face was full of joy, and with the help of Wen Qing and Yao Shiling, she climbed out of the cellar, without waiting for Wen Qing and Yao Shiling to move, she put down the bamboo basket, turned around and sorted out the wooden door of the cellar, wheat straw and so on.
Yao Shiling went to the West House to get corn on the cob again.
Wen Peng and Wen Liang were woken up by Yao Shiling, and Wen Peng asked about the situation before Yao Shiling took the corn cob to Aunt Wang.
Wen Qing climbed out of bed, snatched a corn cob from Yao Shiling's hand and said, "Don't give it!" ”
"You kid, Aunt Wang is waiting outside in the rain, bring it to me." Yao Shiling reprimanded in a low voice.
"I won't give it!" Wen Peng hugged tightly.
Wen Liang didn't help Yao Shiling either.
"Don't make a fuss, your eldest sister said she wanted to give it, bring it to me." Yao Shiling said.
"Why did the eldest sister give her corn, she burned our family's wheat straw." Wen Peng was not happy.
"Your eldest sister has more than you think, go to bed first, and ask your eldest sister tomorrow if you have something." As she spoke, Yao Shiling snatched the corn from Wen Peng's hand and carried it out of the West House.
When Aunt Wang saw the corn cobs with large particles, her tears almost came out again.
"Aunt Wang, take it." Wen Qing said.
Aunt Wang took the corn cob, and carried a bamboo basket of sweet potato seedlings, her hands were trembling with excitement: "Sister-in-law of the Wen family, Wen Qing thank you, I will remember you all my life, if there is anything in the future, just look for me, I will repay you for this life-saving grace." ”
Yao Shiling said: "Look at what you said, isn't it just a few cobs of corn and a few handfuls of sweet potato seedlings? Don't say it, go back, don't get gonorrhea. ”
"Okay, okay." Aunt Wang responded repeatedly, hugging and mentioning, and quickly went out of the yard of the house.
Wen Qing went to close the courtyard door before entering the hall, Wen Peng was wearing big pants, and said with an unhappy face: "Eldest sister, why did you give our corn cob to Aunt Wang!" ”
"Aunt Wang's family doesn't have corn to grow land." Wen Qing said.
"She doesn't have corn, what's the matter with our family!" Smelling the angry "hum", he turned his head and entered the West House, and after climbing on the bed, the small body slammed into the bed with a "bang", but it sounded.
Yao Shiling looked at Wen Qing and said, "Little child, don't pay attention to him!" ”
"I'm going to coax." Wen Qing said with a smile.
As soon as Wen Qing entered the West House, Wen Liang covered himself with a sheet, and Wen Peng turned his back to Wen Qing.
Wen Qing stepped forward with a smile, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Pengpeng, I will go to school in the city next month." ”
Wen Peng: "I know. ”
Wen Qing said simply: "There is a saying called 'help the emergency does not help the poor', at this time, Aunt Wang is given corn cobs, so that they can repay their kindness, look at it, the best and most sincere to our family in the future is Aunt Wang's family, isn't this what the villain book says'Don't fight, don't you know'?" ”
Wen Qing's few words not only turned Wen Peng's words around, but also convinced Wen Liang's words, Wen Peng's dark eyes stared at Wen Qing: "Will they repay their kindness?" ”
"Yes." Wen Qing said firmly.
Wen Peng was relieved, and then asked, "Eldest sister, do you also read villain books?" ”
"Of course." Wen Qing then remembered that this era was a prosperous period for villain books, and Wen Qing remembered that it seemed that one dollar could buy a book of 400 pages.
However, Shuiwan Village is relatively backward, there are not a few villain books, Wen Liang and Wen Peng are estimated to be borrowed from their classmates, so Wen Qing is ready to wait until he goes to school in the city, and buy more books for Wen Liang and Wen Peng.
"Eldest sister, what are you watching?"
Wen Qing thought for a while and replied: ""Journey to the West", "Sanmao Wandering", "Railway Guerrilla", "Water Margin". ”
When Wen Liang heard this, he was also interested. Although Wen Qing has a bad image in his heart, Wen Qing also had one of the highest scores in the junior high school graduation exam, and she could have gone directly to secondary school, but she preferred to go to high school, saying that college is the right way in the future, no matter what, Wen Qing is knowledgeable.
"Eldest sister, tell me "Sanmao Wandering", I haven't heard of it." Wen Peng said.
"Okay." Wen Qing simply agreed, then moved a stool, sat at the head of Wen Peng's bed, and told Wen Peng "Sanmao Wanderings" to listen, and Wen Liang also listened to it.
When Yao Shiling heard this, she smiled warmly in her heart.
At this time, as soon as Aunt Wang returned to the yard with the corn cob and sweet potato seedlings, she shouted: "Huzi Dad!" ”
Wang Dazheng is worried at home, even relatives and friends don't borrow Wang rice seeds and sweet potato seeds, their family is targeting the Wen family everywhere, and the Wen family will lend it to his family? Probably won't there be a fight, right? As soon as he heard Aunt Wang shouting, Wang Da hurriedly ran out of the door and froze when he saw Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang was holding a corn cob and carrying a bamboo basket, which was full of sweet potato seedlings.
"Tiger Dad!" Aunt Wang smiled: "I borrowed it!" ”
Wang Da couldn't believe it and said, "Wen Qing lent it to you? ”
"Hmm!"
"How would she want to?" Wang Da asked.
"Huzi Dad, let me tell you, there are really few people in our village who are as kind as Yao Shiling and Wen Qing, the two of them speak in a good voice, especially Yao Shiling, who has always been soft-spoken. I didn't know who passed it on before, saying that Yao Shiling was a good-looking fox, indecent, after so many years, isn't Yao Shiling doing her duty? I think they just saw that Yao Shiling fled from the famine, and they deceived their lives! In the future, I will definitely not be with them, now I know, Yao Shiling is a good person, a bloody girl! ”
Wang Da was surprised by Aunt Wang's sudden change, but when everyone refused to lend them corn seeds and sweet potato seeds, the Wen family borrowed them magnanimously, which showed the generosity of Yao Shiling and Wen Qing, and Wang Da was grateful.
Aunt Wang continued to talk about Yao Shiling and Wen Qing's goodness, and said fiercely: "Whoever dares to talk about Yao Shiling and Wen Qing in the future, I will go up and tear their mouths!" ”
Wang Da did not stop it, took the corn cob, rubbed the corn kernels off immediately, and prepared to plant the ground as soon as the weather cleared, so as not to delay the harvest, and then there would be no grain to eat.
When Wang Da and Aunt Wang were rubbing corn on the cob, Aunt Wang borrowed corn seeds and sweet potato seeds from Wenqing's family, and it spread all over the village in a blink of an eye.
Today, Wen Qing's family can be said to be in the limelight, and this kind of limelight is beyond everyone's reach, originally jealous, but seeing that the people around him are as poor as themselves, that bit of "jealousy" has become envy because of the reason of "out of reach".
"I didn't expect Wen Qing to be so powerful, he can actually help people earn 10,000 yuan! Even a person as domineering as Aunt Wang almost knelt down tonight to beg Wen Qing for forgiveness. ”
"Wen Qing wasn't bad before, but she had a bad temper and loved to talk, all of which she learned from her second uncle."
"When did Wen Qing follow her second uncle?"
"When you just walk, or when you were three or four years old? I don't remember much, anyway, at that time, her second uncle had just been released from prison for a few years, and she loved Wen Qing, she hugged Wen Qing wherever she went, and it hurt so much that her heart was sharp, and it was strange that Wen Qing was good-looking when she was a child, and she was as smart as a doll. Her second uncle is also not virtuous, and he can make money, but he doesn't know what to save, Wen Qing wants to buy something, and he doesn't let Wen Qing be gentle, shouting every day, 'Who said that female dolls have to be gentle, my family Qingqing is very good.' That's it! Speaking of which, Wen Qing followed her second uncle and did not endure hardship, she was not hungry or tired, she looked white and clean, her second uncle always had a way to make money, and Wen Qing's tuition fees from elementary school were not all paid by her second uncle. ”
"Well, her second uncle is not dead, and now he will be happy."
"Isn't it, Wen Qing can help people earn 10,000 yuan now, and won't he earn more in the future." When one person said this, everyone was surprised, and he would earn more in the future? How much is that, everyone didn't dare to imagine, they only felt that Wen Qing's whole body was shining with gold.
The next morning, the sky cleared.
Wen Qing carried a cloth bag, wearing rubber shoes and went from the east of the village to the county seat, and those neighbors were very polite when they saw her again.
Wen Qing also smiled at them as usual.
At the different times, their tone changed from "Wen Qing went to the county seat again, indecent!" It became, "Wen Qing is making money in the county again!" ”
Wen Qing is still the same as usual, just listen to it. Then I got on the big dirt road, continued to walk in potholes, and went to Aunt Xiao's tailor shop in the county seat to change shoes.
"Sister Wen Qing."
As soon as Wen Qing came out of the backyard to change her cloth shoes, Bao Hong greeted her with a smile.
"Where's Aunt Xiao?" Wen Qing asked.
"Aunt Xiao went to pick up the goods." Scarlet said.
"Pick up?" Wen Qing was puzzled: "What kind of goods?" ”
"It's the clothes made by Tangquan Garment Factory, two days ago, Boss Tang sent ten sets of short sleeves and ten sets of half-cut sleeves, which were sold out yesterday. Aunt Xiao was so happy, she deliberately spent three cents to shake the phone to Boss Tang, and asked Boss Tang to send someone to send another thirty sets over, but it was so good! Bao Hong smiled and said, Bao Hong has a round face, big eyes, but when she smiles, she has crooked eyebrows and eyes, a very cute little girl.
Wen Qing smiled and asked, "How long has Aunt Xiao been going?" ”
"I'm back." Aunt Xiao's voice suddenly interjected. When she came in, Wen Qing raised her eyes and saw Aunt Xiao carrying a big cloth bag, with a smile on her face: "Wen Qing, what you said is so accurate, I really didn't expect that everyone would rush to buy this kind of finished clothes." ”
"In the future, people will be more and more receptive to finished clothes." Wen Qing said.
Aunt Xiao was surprised: "Really, then we tailors have no way out?" ”
Wen Qing smiled: "No, the tailor has always been popular." "Take cloth to make clothes, there will be fewer and fewer, and then there will be a special clothes, it is called "customization", once it is related to the word "customization", it is a limited edition with a large price. However, it should not be popular in recent years.
"Then I'll rest assured, I still want to eat with my craft for the rest of my life." Aunt Xiao said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Aunt Xiao, you will definitely be able to rely on your skills to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life." Then Wen Qing asked: "Did you make money selling clothes?" ”
"Earned!" Aunt Xiao said without hesitation, then looked around, and said cautiously: "A set of clothes earns three yuan, twenty sets came that day, and when they were sold out in one day, we earned sixty yuan in one day, net earnings, no effort at all." ”
Wen Qing smiled: "Aunt Xiao, don't worry, we will make more and more money." ”
Aunt Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked straight at Wen Qing, Wen Qing is a beautiful girl who often laughs, but there is no time like this, confident and beautiful, like a flower blooming in spring, with a high-spirited posture and brilliant colors, so that Aunt Xiao, a woman, feels that Wen Qing, this girl, is not beautiful.
"Aunt Xiao, I'll help you get it." Scarlet dragged the cloth bag and dragged Aunt Xiao back to Shen'er.
Wen Qing also stepped forward to check the clothes, yes, they were the two sets she made before. As soon as Aunt Xiao hung up her clothes, an aunt came over and bought two sets for her daughter and niece.
Aunt Xiao happily tugged at the corner of Wen Qing's clothes: "Wen Qing, do you see it, do you see it, it's very easy to sell." ”
Wen Qing smiled: "Yes, it's very easy to sell." ”
Next, Wen Qing stayed in the store for a day, because of the presence of Bao Hong, Wen Qing and Aunt Xiao could concentrate on the clothes to be made in the small book and speed up the progress.
Although they sell clothes, there are still many people who make clothes and shoes. Compared with Aunt Xiao's own storefront, Aunt Xiao's tailor shop at this moment is more than three times better than before, and the income is five times that of before, which makes Aunt Xiao full of energy.
Wen Qing went home to make shoes, so he went back from work at half past two.
Aunt Xiao gave all of today's income to Wen Qing, Wen Qing gave forty percent of all her income to Aunt Xiao except for the money for the shoes, Aunt Xiao couldn't resign, and her heart was moved.
After Wen Qing got the money, she told Aunt Xiao that in the future, after deducting the cost, the money for shoes and Baohong's wages, all the profits will be counted once a month, and a date will be set, and six of the monthly profits will be traded to Yao Shiling.
Aunt Xiao nodded hurriedly.
Wen Qing took a few pieces of cloth from the store, calculated the money at cost price, and handed it to Aunt Xiao.
Aunt Xiao: "Wen Qing, you don't need money for the fabric." ”
"Then which is it, my brother will settle the accounts, so that our store can develop better."
Aunt Xiao had no choice but to take it, and she was full of admiration for Wen Qing in her heart.
Wen Qing took a lot of fabrics, there happened to be a sewing machine at home, she just wanted to make a set of clothes for Yao Shiling, Wen Liang, and Wen Peng, and then sit on a pair of shoes, Wen Liang's shoes were all open, Wen Peng had no patches on a big pants, in fact, they were all patched, and school will start next month, Wen Qing not only wanted to design a schoolbag for herself, but also wanted to make a schoolbag for Wen Liang and Wen Peng.
School will start next month, Wen Qing is excited, she hasn't read much of the books she took home, taking advantage of the fact that there is no trouble at home, there is a treasure red in the store, she can read more books, so that the whole person will be blind after the start of school.
Wen Qing pondered like this, so he went to the stationery store in the big market and bought notebooks, pens, ballpoint pens, ink, pencils, and erasers, and then walked on the big dirt road and rushed home.
When she walked to the east end of the village, all the neighbors greeted her with a smile, including Aunt Wang, who was extremely enthusiastic, and there was a respect in the enthusiasm that she could not understand.
Esteemed? Why is that?
Wen Qing went home suspiciously.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Yao Shiling sitting in the courtyard picking vegetables, Wen Peng lying on the bamboo basket, holding a tomato in both hands, looking at Yao Shiling longingly: "Mom, there are so many tomatoes, can I eat one?" ”
"Mom." Wen Qing shouted.
Yao Shiling and Wen Peng looked up.
"Wen Qing is back."
"Sister, you're back."
Wen Qing stepped forward and looked at the twenty large and small tomatoes in the bamboo basket, red, green, and green, Wen Qing asked suspiciously, "Where did the tomatoes come from?" "She doesn't have any extra land to grow tomatoes.
"Aunt Wang sent it." Yao Shiling was very helpless about this: "If you send it hard, don't do it." ”
Wen Peng held a tomato, stood up and said happily: "Eldest sister, in addition to Aunt Wang's visit today, the village chief's wife has come to our house." ”
"What is the village chief's wife doing here?" Wen Qing asked.
"I'll tell you about my mother-in-law's family, and I'll say it's the son of the mayor next door." Wen Peng said.
Yao Shiling scolded: "Wen Peng is fast with your mouth!" ”
Wen Peng was immediately silenced.
The mayor's son?
Wen Qing then understood why when she came back from the east of the village, the neighbors had "respect" in their eyes, which turned out to be the reason.
