Chapter 105, Something to Ask For
Since Li Xiang made the first appearance for Jin Zhu, Sun Quan's attitude towards Jin Zhu has improved a little.
Of course, this refers to the fact that Sun Quan no longer deliberately makes things difficult for Jin Zhu, not that Sun Quan likes Jin Zhu or starts to take care of Jin Zhu.
However, Jin Zhu is still quite satisfied with this. For her, it is enough to be able to understand the class and no longer suffer Sun Quan's ridicule and white eyes.
There is also good news that Jin Zhu won the first place in the county essay competition, Xiyue won a third place, and Wu Lu and Liu Wenwen did not get the ranking.
Because before this essay competition, Jin Zhu won two more national essay awards, and she estimated that some people were afraid of offending the public opinion again, so they had to return this first place to Jin Zhu.
At the end of the month, Yang Dali's house in the county town was renovated, and the furniture and appliances were not purchased, and I heard that there were many discounts on New Year's Day, so Yang Dali wanted to drive the family to the county seat to have a good look.
Lin Yuemei sent Jin Xing to deliver a letter to Jin Zhu the day before, asking Jin Zhu if she would like to go to the city for a day.
In fact, Lin Yuemei wanted to take Jin Zhu to her house to have a look, and wanted to ask Jin Zhu to help her make curtains and bedding, so that she could save hundreds of yuan.
However, she didn't let Jin Xing pass over these words, so Jin Zhu didn't know her plans.
But she did want to go to the county seat, and Li Xiang's clothes were ready, but he didn't have time to come back to get them; Also, Jin Zhu also wanted to take Jin Yang and a few people to the city to buy a pair of shoes. The quality of shoes in the countryside is not good, and it is easy to wear out, not to mention that it is easy to cover the feet with smell.
Originally, I wanted to buy Jinzhu when I went to the essay contest last time, but if I didn't try the shoes, I was afraid that they would not fit. That's why Jin Zhu thought about taking advantage of this holiday to go to the county seat, and she also heard Yang Qin say that there was a discount on New Year's Day.
Furthermore. Jin Zhu's woolen sweater and cotton sweater are small, she wants to go to the city to have a look, and by the way, give Jin Yang a few new ones, she can't keep them wearing the old ones.
Because of these few things, Jin Zhu asked Jin Niu to call Li Xiang, saving him from having to make this trip.
Early in the morning of New Year's Day, Yang Dali drove to pick up the four golden beads. In addition to Lin Yuemei, Jin Xing and Jin Bao were also in the car, but Zhou Shuixian and the youngest Jin Shi were missing.
Apparently. Zhou Shuixian stayed at home to watch the children.
When they arrived at the county seat, Jin Zhu originally wanted Yang Dali to put the four of them at the gate of the county No. 1 Middle School, but who knew that Lin Yuemei learned that Jin Zhu was coming to find Li Xiang, so she had to wait for Li Xiang at the door. said that he wanted to ask Li Xiang to help measure what size.
Li Xiang heard that Lin Yuemei had something to do with him. It was hard to excuse myself, so I had to follow and get into the car.
Yang Dali's house is in the easternmost part of the park where Jinzhu and they came last time, and this time Jinzhu figured out that this park is called Shanshui Park, which is the largest leisure and entertainment park in the county.
Around this park, seven or eight new communities have been built, and Yang Dali said that all the newly built commercial houses in the county in recent years are concentrated in this area. Half of them were bought by people who came back from working in other places.
Yang Dali's house is on the third floor and is a three-bedroom apartment. The entrance is a hall, all three bedrooms are on the south side, and the dining room and kitchen are on the wall side of the living room, both on the north side.
I don't know if it's because there is no furniture, this house looks very spacious and bright, the floor is paved with creamy yellow floor tiles, the walls are white, the door is dark brown, and there is a set of utensils in the kitchen that Jin Zhu first heard of what is called the whole kitchen, in fact, it is a row of fruit green cabinets.
"Come, Jinzhu, Li Xiang, you two help me measure the size of all the walls with windows." Lin Yuemei commanded.
It is not difficult for Jin Zhu to see the size, and I don't understand why Lin Yuemei has to bring them all.
"Second aunt, this size has also been measured, can we say goodbye?" Jin Zhu asked.
There was something serious about this trip, and she didn't want to waste all her time here.
"What's the hurry? We are also about to leave, I want to go to the fabric store to see, Jin Zhu, you go with us, you go to help us choose the color and style, I want to ask you to help us make the curtains and sheets, quilt covers, bedspreads and so on. Jin Zhu, this is not difficult for you, your second aunt is so easy to move, so I beg you for this matter. Lin Yuemei took Jin Zhu's hand and said.
I see.
No wonder she sent Jin Xing to the door to ask her if she would go to the county seat, no wonder she had to pull Li Xiang to come and see her family's new house, it turned out to be a purpose.
Jin Zhu smiled self-deprecatingly, she just thought about what her family had to do when she came to the county seat, but she forgot that Lin Yuemei was also a person who was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early.
This is the so-called asking for something, losing something.
It's a pity that Jin Zhu didn't plan to fulfill her.
"Second aunt, I really don't have time now, it's time for the final exam soon, we have a late holiday in the third year of junior high school, and we won't have a holiday until the New Year, at that time I have to prepare for the New Year, where do I have time to do this?"
"What about after the year?" Lin Yuemei asked unrelentingly.
"You don't know that you can't move scissors and needles after the year, and besides, I'm going to start classes on the eighth day of the first month, and the high school entrance examination will be in less than three months after class, so I really don't have time to help you do it. Besides, I won't do curtains. ”
"You baby, how much time can this take you, and you won't help with this little help?" After Lin Yuemei finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Dali.
"Jin Zhu, the second uncle begged you for this, and you still pushed back? Even if you are busy and don't have time before the year, won't there be a few days after the year? Who still pays attention to the rotten rules of not moving scissors in the New Year, what age is it? Yang Dali said.
"Second uncle and second aunt, I won't tell you anything, I don't do any housework at home now, it's all done by Jin Yang, and my little time is used to read and write articles. I'm really sorry, unless you're willing to wait until after my high school entrance exam. ”
"That's right, Uncle Dali, Jinzhu's foundation is already thin, if you don't pay attention to it, if you can't get into the county No. 1 middle school, it will be troublesome, and the teaching quality of the No. 2 middle school is much worse than that of the No. 1 middle school, and it will be difficult to miss a good university in the future." Li Xiang helped speak.
"That's right, second uncle and second aunt, you have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a house, can you still care about these hundreds of small dollars?" Jin Yang pursed his lips.
"Alright, alright. If you don't do it, forget it, I don't say anything. Lin Yuemei shook her hand and entered another room.
Jin Zhu see this. Holding the hand of the golden bull and beckoning Jin Yang Jinliu to go out, she didn't ask Lin Yuemei for anything, why did she stay to see her face?
Out of the gate of the community, Li Xiang smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
"Okay, are you going to go to the restaurant last time?" When the golden bull heard this, he happily jumped to Li Xiang's side.
"Good. If the Taurus wants to go, we will go. Li Xiang touched the golden bull's head.
"Let's eat something, I want to go shopping first, I'm afraid I won't have a car to go home when I turn around." Jin Zhu said.
I have already brushed my sleeves out just now. Jin Zhu didn't plan to go back and beg them, she planned to take the shuttle bus back.
"Then you have to eat, not bad." Li Xiang didn't say a word, and first went to hail a tricycle to come over. I went straight to the restaurant where he worked.
Meal. Li Xiang led Jinzhu into the largest department store in the county, this time Jinzhu wanted to buy not tourist shoes, but board shoes, which Yang Qin taught her, saying that now students wear board shoes, board shoes are comfortable.
"Brother Xiang, you can pick a pair too." Jin Yang said.
"You're sending me?" Li Xiang said to Jin Yang, but his eyes looked at Jin Zhu.
"Send. Brother Xiang, we'll give you a pair of expensive ones. I heard that you're going to go far away, so we'll give you a pair of hooks. Jin Liu said with a smile.
Li Xiang came back from the province last time and bought a set of skin care products for the three girls of Jinzhu, including facial cleanser, toner, lotion, and sunscreen. He remembered that these three girls often run around under the scorching sun, but they have never done any sunscreen measures, especially Jin Liu, in case they are really photographed to shoot commercials or TV series, how can they do if their faces are not white?
Jin Liu was grateful for Li Xiang's carefulness, so he specially offered to give Li Xiang a pair of expensive shoes.
"Is this appropriate?" Jin Zhu asked.
This gift of shoes represents a marriage in their time and space, although the times are different, but she always feels awkward.
However, seeing that Jin Yang and Jin Liu were so interested, Jin Zhu couldn't say anything anymore, and she couldn't explain to them why she couldn't send it.
"Not suitable. It really doesn't fit. Li Xiang saw Jin Zhu ask these words, and smiled.
It turned out that in his cognition, this sending shoes meant that the other party disliked him, wanted to break up, and wanted to leave the other party, so Li Xiang was busy and said that it was not appropriate.
But in this way, Jin Zhu is confused, does he understand what he means or not?
"Brother Xiang, eldest sister, what the hell are you two doing?" Jin Yang and Jin Liu were also confused by these two.
"It's okay, I'll buy a pair of shoes myself, you want to give them, go back and give me a pair of gloves, I heard that it's snowing in Nanjing."
"Oh, I understand, Brother Xiang, you think too much, right?" Jin Yang smiled narrowly.
"Hurry up and pick up, and you'll have to buy woolen sweaters and cotton sweaters when you go back." Jin Zhu interrupted Jin Yang's joke.
She already understood this, and what she thought was definitely not the same thing as what Li thought.
"Yes." Jin Yang squeezed his eyes at Jin Liu, Nunu mouthed, Jin Liu shook his head, wanted to ask something, but saw Jin Zhu blushing, and didn't dare to ask again.
The five of them picked out their shoes, paid the bill, and just turned to the place where sweaters were sold, they suddenly ran into Yang Xiaohong's family.
Jin Zhu secretly sighed.
Seeing Li Xiang's enthusiasm, Yang Xiaohong took Li Xiang's hand with a smile on her face and asked, "I heard that you are going to participate in a winter camp, when will you leave?" Is it going to the imperial capital? ”
Li Xiang pulled out his hand first, and then replied, "It's not the imperial capital, it's Nanjing." ”
"Tsk, your grandmother has survived, her son has found it, and I heard that the family business is not small, so I took her to Hangzhou to enjoy happiness; What about you, you're going to college, I guess your grandmother will laugh in her dreams, right? ”
"Brother Xiang, then are you going to Hangzhou on vacation?" Wu Lu asked.
"I have to make up for the missing lessons, and I don't have time to go." Li Xiang replied lightly.
"So where are you spending the New Year this year?" Yang Xiaohong hurriedly asked.
"My aunt's and grandmother's house."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he didn't want to deal with the mother and daughter anymore, so he took a sweater and went into the fitting room.
Yang Xiaohong only had time to look at the four Jin Zhu, and saw that Jin Yang and Jin Liu were carrying a total of five shoe boxes in their hands, Yang Xiaohong silently calculated, these five pairs of shoes cost at least five or six hundred yuan, and now they have to buy woolen sweaters, how much money do these children have in a year?
The last time she went back to her parents' house, she heard Zhou Shuixian say that Jin Zhu and Lin Yuemei had worked together for a few months to make clothes, and Jin Zhu had earned thousands of yuan, could it be that this business was still doing?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaohong asked, "Jin Zhu, how are the clothes you and your second aunt are selling?" ”
"I don't know about this, I haven't done it in months. By the way, auntie, did you also come from the second uncle's new house? Jin Zhu wanted to find something to do for Yang Xiaohong, so that she would always keep an eye on her family.
"What? Your second uncle is here? ”
I heard that Yang Dali drove to buy furniture, but I was afraid that it was also nearby, so Yang Xiaohong took out her mobile phone and called Yang Dali.
Sure enough, knowing that Yang Dali's family was in the electrical department on the first floor of the shopping mall, Yang Xiaohong couldn't care about Li Xiang, and beckoned her family to hurriedly look for it.
It turned out that Yang Xiaohong came to the county seat to see Wu Xiaowei's brother this time, and learned that Wu Xiaowei's work transfer had already been a little eyebrow, and there should be no problem in the summer vacation of the next year, but there was a new problem in the county, and now the unit has long canceled the welfare housing, so after Wu Xiaowei came, the school did not have a house, and he had to buy a new house in the county.
Yang Xiaohong definitely can't get the money in her hand, so she considered buying a second-hand old house, but in this way, the money in her hand was not enough, and she had to sell the house in the countryside to make up, but the house in the countryside is not said to be sold immediately.
But she is definitely coming to the county seat, and the house price is rising every year, so Yang Xiaohong wants to buy the house first, anyway, it will take a while to decorate, so that she doesn't have to rent a house when she comes in August.
She naturally wanted to ask Yang Dali and Yang Xiaolan to borrow the money to buy a house, Yang Dali was begging Wu Xiaowei to find a good school for Jin Xing and Jin Bao, if she didn't knock him at this time, it would be difficult to knock in the future.
Jin Zhu naturally didn't know the details, but seeing Yang Xiaohong leaving in a hurry, Jin Yang pouted, "My aunt must have gone to find my second uncle to hitchhike, for fear that we would get ahead of them." ”
"Alright, you're everywhere." Jin Zhu knocked Jin Yang, and by the way, he found her a pink woolen sweater for her to try.
Jin Yang was about to enter the fitting room with a sweater, the mobile phone rang, Jin Yang saw that it was a student number, so he threw the phone to Jin Zhu, and Jin Zhu had to pick up the phone and press a connect button.
It turned out to be Assistant Li's call last time, two things, one is that they want to make a historical drama, and they took a fancy to the poem "Ode to the Motherland" published by Jin Zhu in the "XX Daily" last year, which has a sense of history, and I think it can be adapted into a theme song and bid 10,000 yuan.
Second, the heroine in the play has a childhood scene, and they want to ask Jin Liu to play it.
This stumped Jin Zhu. (To be continued......)
