After struggling for a night, Jin Zhu still decided to accept this set of books.

Because if you want to say that you want to give and receive privately, in fact, Jin Zhu came first, Jin Zhu made so many clothes for Li Xiang, Li Xiang accepted them, and the set of painting tools that Jin Zhu gave Li Xiang, Li Xiang did not refuse. Although the reason Jin Zhu gave himself was to thank his benefactor, in fact, in the final analysis, it was because Jin Zhu sympathized with Li Xiang's life experience and experience, and to put it bluntly, it was still that word, sympathy.

Since Li Xiang didn't refuse what Jin Xiang sent, Jin Zhu couldn't refuse what Li Xiang sent, otherwise, Jin Zhu was worried that he would not only distract Li Xiang, but also most likely hurt him.

Jin Zhu had also considered giving Li Xiang the money for the book, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not appropriate to do so.

Li Xiang is a person with a lot of self-esteem, and he didn't settle accounts with Jin Zhu for the clothes he bought for the clothes Jin Zhu did, if he settled accounts with Jin Zhu because of this set of books, I'm afraid that he will settle all the previous accounts with Jin Zhu, if that's the case, wouldn't it be self-defeating, but increase Li Xiang's financial burden?

After thinking about it, Jin Zhu planned to make a winter coat for Li Xiang to repay him for this favor.

Early the next morning, when Jin Zhu saw that the rain had stopped, he and Jin Yang went downstairs to catch ducks and geese. Just in time for the Miao year, there are many tourists from other places, Jin Yang wants to sell some ducks and geese, especially geese, because the weather is cold, the geese at home basically do not lay eggs, and it is rare to lay eggs once in ten days and a half months, but the amount of goose food is very large. It's not cost-effective to raise.

Besides, it's the year of Miao, and there are less than two months to go, and Yang Dashan and they should come back again. Instead of waiting for Sun Xiaoyan to be cheaper at that time, it is better for them to settle down now.

"Jin Yang, otherwise, let's kill a duck and eat it." Jin Zhu consults with Jin Yang.

Anyway, it is also a Miao year, although there are no elders in the family, Jin Zhu feels that they should be better to themselves.

"Kill ducks? Eldest sister, a duck can still be sold for seventy or eighty yuan. If the eldest sister is hungry, I'll buy some pork and come back. Jin Yang shook his head hurriedly.

"Duck and pork are different, usually eat some meat, and have to eat chicken, duck and goose during the New Year. The year of the seedling is also the year. ”

Hearing this, Jin Yang turned his head sideways and looked at Jin Zhu, and saw that Jin Zhu's eyes looked at the dry straw that had just been laid in the duck pen and goose pen, and suddenly understood, and asked with a smile: "Eldest sister." You don't want to make up for Brother Xiang, right? ”

"What nonsense? Look what time it is. Are you still going to sell ducks? Jin Zhu's face twisted to the side after speaking, and her eyes did flicker over Li Xiang's thin body just now.

"Go, go, I'll go, eldest sister, you can do it yourself, I don't dare to kill anyway." Jin Yang dropped a sentence and hurriedly went upstairs to call Jin Yang.

Jin Zhu hesitated. In the end, one duck was left behind, and the remaining ducks and geese were released. Shouting the golden bull rushed to the river.

Jin Zhu didn't see Li Xiang come over until more than nine o'clock, and was about to catch the duck and go to Yang Dazhuang to help kill it, when Jin Niu entered the door with a basket, and there was a piece of pork weighing about two or three catties and a carp weighing two or three catties in the basket, saying that Yang Xiaolan gave it to him.

It turned out that when he was playing with the friends in the village committee at the village committee, he happened to see Yang Xiaolan's family driving here, so Yang Xiaolan called him and gave him this basket.

As soon as Jin Zhu heard it, he knew that their family should go back to his parents' house for New Year's dinner, originally Zhou Shuixian wanted to treat him yesterday, because Wu Lu went to the county seat, so he postponed it for a day, and Wu Lu mentioned this matter in the car that went to the county seat yesterday.

With this meat and fish, Jin Zhu also gave up the duck and planned to make a dish of braised pork and hot and sour fish, when he was busy, he saw Jin Xing coming, saying that it was Zhou Shuixian's meaning, and let Jin Zhu go over to eat.

"Invite us to dinner?" Jin Zhu wondered.

Why did they send the meat and fish when they were invited?

However, Jin Zhu quickly understood that this meat and fish were sent by Yang Xiaolan, and it is estimated that Yang Xiaolan was not sure that she could persuade Zhou Shuixian at first, so she first sent some meat and fish to Jin Zhu, because no matter what, she wanted Jin Zhu to also celebrate the New Year and improve the food.

It's just that why Narcissus agreed this week made Jinzhu a little confused, the Lantern Festival was not invited, the Dragon Boat Festival was not invited, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not invited, and last year's Miao Year was not invited, how could he suddenly remember to invite today?

"No, we'll live by ourselves." Taurus refused first.

The last time he was at Yang Xiaolan's house, Taurus was viciously scolded by Zhou Shuixian for refusing to turn over the money in his pocket, and almost beat Jin Yang again, and he also had a psychological shadow.

Jin Zhu didn't want to go even more, so she sent Jin Xing back to report the news, and she rolled up her sleeves and hurried to work, she had to make the two big dishes of braised pork and hot and sour fish before Jin Yang and Jin Liu came back.

Who knew that when Jin Zhu was cutting the meat and preparing to put it in the pot, Yang Xiaolan came.

Seeing that Jin Zhu was cutting meat, Yang Xiaolan hurriedly took the knife from Jin Zhu's hand and said, "You baby, listen to your little aunt, keep this meat for you to eat tomorrow, and come with me to your mother-in-law's house today." ”

"Little aunt, we won't go, so my mother-in-law will be unhappy to see us, and in the end, everyone won't be able to eat well." Jin Zhu said with a smile.

"Who's to say it's going to be upset? This time, your mother-in-law specially asked me to call a few of you, saying that there were a few grandchildren left alone during the Chinese New Year? That's not nice to say, is it? So, now that she's figured it out, no, she'll send me on another run. ”

As soon as Jin Zhu heard that it was for this reason, she didn't want to go even more.

She didn't have any feelings for Zhou Shuixian in the first place, and Zhou Shuixian's summer trouble completely made Jin Zhu feel cold, and Wu Lu, Jin Zhu, was also bored from the bottom of her heart, even if the people who were tired of each other reluctantly sat together, but if there was no happy and peaceful atmosphere, it would lose the meaning of everyone getting together during the New Year's Festival.

"Little aunt, don't say it anymore, we really don't go, just now we even said that the golden bull won't go, Jin Yang and Jin Liu don't like to go even more, they are scared when they see their mother-in-law. Where else can I eat? ”

When Yang Xiaolan saw Jin Zhu's words to this point, she knew that she couldn't be persuaded anymore, "You kid." I, you mother-in-law, she ......"

Yang Xiaolan couldn't go on with the rest of the words, because she didn't know how to explain her mother's behavior.

I want to say that she is a person who has not read much, but how many poor people in the village in those days have studied? I want to say that she used to be poor, but who is not so poor? I want to say that she is too old to take care of her, but she is obviously less than sixty. There are elderly people in the village who are older than her who are taking care of four or five children.

In short, Yang Xiaolan is poor in words and can't defend her mother's partiality, selfishness, and slamming the door.

"You baby. Forget it, the second aunt won't force you, can you use the second aunt to help you do something? ”

Yang Xiaolan had actually guessed this result, so she would send some meat and fish to Jin Zhu from home in advance.

"No need. A few of us are used to it. Soon. ”

It seems to be a casual sentence, but it is indescribably sad in Yang Xiaolan's ears.

Although there are many left-behind children like Jinzhu in every village, there are usually elderly people in the family to help take care of them, and it is still relatively rare for a few children like Jinzhu to rely entirely on themselves, not to mention, several children have to earn their own money for studying.

"Come, little aunt will help you make this braised pork." Yang Xiaolan's eyes were red, and without saying a word, she snatched the knife in Jin Zhu's hand.

After Yang Xiaolan made the braised pork, she quickly cut the fish with her hands and feet. While doing it, I asked Jin Yang and Jin Liu what they were going to do.

"Well, I was about to tell you. How many ducks and geese are kept for me, and my family has had a lot of guests these days, and they want to eat the geese. ”

"There are six ducks and six geese at home, and today they brought two of the same, so I don't know if they can sell them."

Jin Zhu plans to sell last year's batch of ducks and geese, and this spring plans to keep them for another year, and the ten little rooster seedlings bought in the summer have now grown to two or three catties, and they have already been sent to Yang Dazhuang to find someone to castrate, and he plans to sell six before the Spring Festival, and it is enough to keep four for the New Year.

Yang Xiaolan was a little relieved after listening to Jin Zhu's words, which shows that Jin Zhu's life is not as bad as she imagined, not to mention anything else, these ducks and geese can be sold for a small two thousand yuan, plus these chickens, ducks and geese This year's eggs, Jin Zhu's family's income from breeding this year is five or six thousand yuan, which is enough for a few children to live, not to mention that Jin Zhu's manuscript fees and bonuses for a year also took two thousand yuan, and a few children don't have to worry for the time being.

"Auntie, has my dad been calling lately?" Jin Zhu thought about it and asked.

Sun Xiaoyan had surgery in June, which is about to take half a year, in case they have a child soon, Jin Zhu will have to plan early.

"Don't you say that I forgot, your dad just called your mother-in-law, it seems to listen to your dad, they don't plan to go home for the New Year this year, saying that Sun Xiaoyan spent a lot of money on surgery, and her body hasn't been well raised, so she won't toss back and forth, anyway, she can't go home for a few days, and they can still have a good New Year over there with the money spent on the road."

"Is that true?" Jin Zhu's eyebrows immediately raised when he heard this, this was definitely good news for them.

"This baby, are you so happy to hear that your dad won't come back?" Yang Xiaolan glanced at Jin Zhu, but thinking of the trouble between the two before leaving, Yang Xiaolan was really not happy.

In fact, Yang Xiaolan estimated that Sun Xiaoyan's reason for not wanting to go home was that she didn't want to give Jinzhu a few dollars, although Yang Dashan's money was in her hands, and she had the final say on whether to give her or not, but after all, she had the reputation of a stepmother, and it was impossible to say that she didn't give a few children a little money when she went home for a year, even if Yang Dashan didn't dare to have an opinion, but what about others? There are so many pairs of eyes in the village.

Speaking of these two people, they are selfish enough, and she Yang Xiaolan doesn't know about others, but her family Tian Changshun went out to work in those two years, and when he didn't get 30,000 yuan from home, these two people worked outside, not to mention that they could earn 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, and they were reluctant to spend 1,000 yuan for the children.

It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, but if there is a stepfather, there will also be a stepmother. Li Xiaolian has never come to see the children in the past few years, let alone buy something for the children, such a pair of irresponsible parents are really blind to so many sensible children.

Jin Zhu saw Yang Xiaolan looking at herself with distress, and smiled, for her, she didn't feel pitiful at all, her requirements were not high, as long as they didn't come to calculate her, it was enough.

After Yang Xiaolan left, Jin Zhu just packed half a box of braised pork in a lunch box and planned to let the golden bull send it to Li Xiang, but Yang Xiaohong suddenly came to the door with Wu Lu.

Jin Zhu thought that the other party was here to be a lobbyist again, so he didn't wait for the other party to speak, so he said first: "Auntie, we really don't go, we are almost ready for dinner." ”

When Yang Xiaohong heard this, she smiled, she smelled a smell of hot and sour fish and braised pork as early as before entering the door, "The little life is good, there are festivals and festivals, no wonder I can't look down on your mother-in-law's food." ”

"The threshold of my mother-in-law's house is high, and the four of us can't get in, so we have to take care of ourselves."

Wu Lu on the side pursed his lips when he heard this, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the golden bull sitting at the dining table writing with a brush, and hurriedly walked over to watch him write.

"Who taught you how to write calligraphy?" Wu Lu asked in surprise, at this time, she was attracted by a big character on the table, and she forgot to fight with Jin Zhu at all.

"My eldest sister and Brother Ah Xiang." Taurus said proudly.

Because in his heart, Li Xiang is family.

Wu Lu was surprised when she heard this, "Jin Zhu also learned calligraphy?" ”

"The eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister all learned, and they were all taught by Brother Xiang."

"Yo, Jin Zhu, do you want to have such a good relationship with you?" Yang Xiaohong asked.

"Well, he sympathizes with us and has no one to take care of, and often comes to help us with a little bit of hard work." Jin Zhu chose to tell the truth.

"No wonder I heard Lulu say that you have made great progress in your studies, and he also taught you?" Yang Xiaohong quickly remembered the scene she saw during the summer vacation, and glanced at Jin Zhu up and down.

The face is still the same face, and the eyebrows and eyes are still the same eyebrows, but the person in front of him is clean, beautiful, and confident, and he is obviously not the same person as the sloppy, mediocre, and cowardly Jinzhu before.

Yang Xiaohong was curious about whether Li Xiang influenced Jin Zhu to change Jin Zhu or the changed Jin Zhu that attracted Li Xiang.

Yang Xiaohong was a little angry at the thought of such an excellent young man being enveloped by Jin Zhu, because with the honor of being the first in the province in this mathematics league, Li Xiang is very likely to be admitted to Q University or Imperial Capital University in the imperial capital, and it is not a person like them who can climb high in the future.

Jin Zhu saw that Yang Xiaohong didn't talk about going to Zhou Shuixian's house for dinner, but was interested in Li Xiang's affairs, and she also remembered the events of the summer vacation.

Thinking of this, the corners of Jin Zhu's mouth twitched slightly, this Yang Xiaohong is only afraid that the drunkard does not mean to drink, the picture is not a tutor, but Li Xiang, right?

Yang Xiaohong saw that Jin Zhu didn't answer but laughed, and was about to open her mouth to ask Jin Zhu what she was laughing at, when she saw Li Xiang hurriedly come in with a bag on his back. (To be continued......)
