Chapter Eighty-Five, Audio
Thinking of what Lin Yuemei said to Jin Zhu yesterday, Jin Zhu guessed that Lin Yuemei deliberately encouraged Jin Zhu to go to her mother and recognize the Li family, because this would inevitably anger Zhou Shuixian, and then she could justifiably let Zhou Shuixian take over Jinzhu.
But thinking about it this way, Jin Zhu felt that it was wrong, Zhou Shuixian could still feed a lot of chickens, ducks and geese in such a big house at home alone, this is also a lot of income, can Lin Yuemei give it up?
Also, Zhou Shuixian and Jin Zhu have such a deep grudge, Lin Yuemei is not unclear, and Zhou Shuixian will not be willing to live with Jin Zhu.
Jin Zhu thought about it for a long time, and estimated that Lin Yuemei meant to leave Zhou Shuixian in the village to help them take care of the house, grow vegetables and feed chickens, etc., and she could tell others that she would stay at home to help take care of Jin Zhu.
Another point, Sun Xiaoyan has undergone surgery and is also busy with children. If Sun Xiaoyan had it, Lin Yuemei would just vacate Zhou Shuixian to take care of Sun Xiaoyan, so that Zhou Shuixian would have a more legitimate reason to transition to Yang Dashan's side.
But Jin Zhu still didn't understand a little, she remembered that Lin Yuemei had said that she would wait for Jin Xing to go to the county seat to buy a house when she was in junior high school, but Jin Xing was only in the fifth grade this year, and there was still more than a year to go, how could she advance her plan?
According to Jin Zhu's understanding, those of them who work in the south can generally earn 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a year, and the two of them are 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. You can't sit back and eat, right?
When he was puzzled, another woman next to him asked, "Yuemei, you stay here to give birth to a baby." Your family is not leaving, can you give up the tens of thousands of dollars a year? ”
I see.
Hearing this, Jin Zhu secretly glanced at Lin Yuemei's stomach, maybe the month had not arrived. She couldn't see anything, but she saw Lin Yuemei reach out and touch her stomach.
"What can I do if I am reluctant? I have it here, I can't do any work at home, I can't point to Jin Xing's mother-in-law for everything, right? Besides, my Jin Xing and Jin Bao are pitiful enough, and they only spend more than half a year with us, which mother doesn't want her own children? Lin Yuemei pursed her lips and smiled after speaking. I didn't look at the gold beads.
These words touched the woman who had just spoken, and she glanced at Jin Zhu and sighed. said: "But that's not it, what mother is willing to leave her child?" Jinzhu, hasn't your mother come to see you yet? I heard that the place where she married was not far away, right in her mother's house. Didn't you go to your grandmother's house to look for it? ”
"No, I won't. Just know she's doing well. Jin Zhu smiled faintly.
"Speaking of which, our Jinzhu is pitiful, such a big baby, who is both a father and a mother, has just pulled a few younger brothers and sisters to grow up, I heard that your family has fed a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, and this year I have also made thousands of dollars in this, right?"
"What's more? I heard that Jin Zhu can earn three or two thousand yuan just by making clothes and selling them in the summer, and there are. The gold beads have won several awards, and they all have bonuses. There's also a manuscript fee or something, this baby, I think it's better than his parents. ”
When Lin Yuemei heard about making clothes, she suddenly remembered something. In the spring, Jin Xing once called her crying, saying that she wanted Jin Zhu to make a skirt in a school outfit, Jin Zhu gritted her teeth and asked for seventy yuan a set, but Zhou Shuixian refused to pay it and had a big fight.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuemei glanced at Jin Zhu, Jin Zhu was wearing a cotton jacket made by herself, this kind of cotton jacket is close to the body and warm, the only drawback is that it is dirty and difficult to wash, and she has to wear a smock, but when she wears a sown coat, it looks very bloated, so Jin Zhu generally wears an apron and sleeves.
Lin Yuemei didn't dare to be interested in this padded jacket, now except for those old people, who else among young people wants to wear this padded jacket?
Crossing the golden beads, Lin Yuemei looked at the golden bull on the shore, the golden bull was wearing a sky blue corduroy hoodie, and there was a pair of white rabbits on the front pocket of the clothes, and the clothes were still fleece from the hat.
How can such a coat be sold for fifty or sixty yuan a piece, and if the workmanship is more delicate, it may cost seventy, eighty, or even hundreds of yuan.
It seems that Jin Zhu really has some ability, and he can make children's clothes similar to those worn by people in the city outside.
She was making money for some business she didn't know what to do in the future, and when she saw this dress, she had a vague idea. It's just that she doesn't know much about Jin Zhu's ability and doesn't dare to make a decision easily.
"Jin Zhu, come, the second aunt is finished washing, the second aunt can help you." Lin Yuemei packed up her things and said to Jin Zhu.
"Don't, the second aunt is heavy, I'll send the second aunt up, don't bump it." After Jin Zhu finished speaking, he first took Lin Yuemei's basin and sent it to the shore to hand it to Jin Xing, and then helped her to cross the bluestone slab.
Seeing her carefully ascending the steps, Jin Zhu saw that she was really pregnant with a child, but she didn't expect that Lin Yuemei would wash the sheets by herself when she was pregnant.
It seems that when the poor and the rich are incomparable, she remembers that the ladies, young ladies, and aunts in the house were pregnant, and they all wanted to not even get out of bed, and they had to be brought to their mouths when they ate, but Jin Zhu had seen several pot-bellied women in the village working outside, not to mention others, Li Xiaolian was the best example.
Thinking of this, Jin Zhu couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Reasoning, yesterday Jin Zhu and a few went to Hedong Village, even if the Li family didn't tell Li Xiaolian that Jin Zhu had come to the door, Tian Xinxing should have said it, right? She knew Li Xiang, and Li Xiang specifically inquired about Li Xiaolian, and made it clear that he and Li Xiaolian's ex-husband were from the same village, and Li Xiaolian still didn't know how many Jinzhu were found?
But from yesterday afternoon to today, Li Xiaolian has not moved at all, not to mention a few visits to Jinzhu, at least one phone call can be made, right? The phone number of the village committee has been watched.
It seems that Li Xiaolian really doesn't have the slightest intention of recognizing a few gold beads.
Jin Zhu returned home depressed, and saw that Li Xiang was here again, wearing a high hat with stacked newspapers and helping to sweep the dust from the roof.
"Didn't you say you'd come in the afternoon?" Jin Zhu was a little puzzled, she knew that on this day, every family had to be dusted.
"There are guests in the house. Grandma said to clean it in the afternoon. ”
"Guests? You don't have to accompany you? ”
"It's not an outsider, it's my aunt and grandmother." Li Xiang's eyes flickered slightly.
In fact, he wanted to stay and listen to what the two old men had to say. But every time my aunt and grandmother came, Ma Po would always send Li Xiang out, but he had nowhere to go, so he went to Jinzhu's house by the way.
"Brother Xiang, don't sweep it, you can accompany my sister upstairs to dry the sheets." Jin Yang saw the two of them talking patronizingly, and reminded him.
Li Xiang listened and put down what he was holding. took the big basin in Jin Zhu's hand, and went upstairs first, and Jin Zhu saw that he skillfully helped him twist the sheets. I guessed that he usually did these things.
"By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you, we have earned more than 20,000 yuan this year, and we have spent it. There are more than 10,000 left. Now I have about 50,000 yuan in hand, and if you want to learn to draw, I can lend you the money first, and we won't need it for the time being. ”
"You earn more than 20,000 yuan a year?" Li Xiang looked at Jin Zhu in disbelief.
Jin Zhu roughly reported the account, and then he smiled and said, "I knew that I used to raise some ducks and geese." ”
"I'm serious with you."
"I'm also serious, don't worry, I won't drop my dream. But before I can achieve my dreams, I have to support myself. ”
Li wanted to say that it was fake not to be moved. He didn't expect Jin Zhu to be willing to give him all his net worth to realize his dream. In this life, except for his grandmother, Jin Zhu is the only one who treats him wholeheartedly. It's just that his shoulders are still very weak now, and he can't even bear his own future, let alone Jinzhu's.
Jin Zhu saw that he was talking about this, and it was not easy to persuade him anymore, how to say that it was Li Xiang's own life, and she had no right or obligation to make decisions for him.
"Okay, I've got your affection. I'm going to clean up the chicken coop, I'm afraid I won't have time to come over in the afternoon, and I'll come back in the evening to help you with physics. Li Xiang couldn't bear to face the distress in Jin Zhu's eyes, worried that he would say something he shouldn't say on impulse, so he hurriedly found an excuse to go downstairs.
Who knew that Li Xiang had just arrived downstairs, and he saw Yang Dali leading Jinbao over, seeing Li Xiang, Yang Dali was stunned for a moment, he had been out for many years, and he came back for more than half a month every year, and Li Xiang usually didn't go out much except to go to Tianjiazhai to earn money or go to the riverside to paint, so Yang Dali didn't recognize Li Xianglai.
"You are?"
"Uncle Dali, I'm Li Xiang." Li Xiang stopped and said hello.
"Oh, Ah Xiang, you are Ah Xiang." Yang Dali is naturally no stranger to this name, knowing that he is the life-saving benefactor of Jinzhu, and even more knowing that he is the lifeblood of Mapo.
"Ah Xiang, by the way, Ah Xiang, I remembered one thing, my eldest brother mentioned it to me last time, saying that when my sister-in-law was doing surgery in Guangzhou, they seemed to have seen your uncle."
"My uncle, is it really my uncle?" Li Xiang grabbed Yang Dali's clothes in a hurry.
He was so excited, he knew that Yang Jihua had been asking people who were working outside in the village to inquire about the news of his uncle Ma Chunsheng, but there had been no news for so many years.
"I don't know the specifics, it seems to say that when I glanced at it in the hospital, your uncle took a big-bellied woman to check her body, my eldest brother said that he didn't see it, he just thought that person was very familiar at the time, but unfortunately when he came back and wanted to confirm with him again, he was gone."
When Jin Zhu heard this, she hurriedly asked what hospital it was, she had been in the hospital, and she knew that if she was admitted to the hospital, she would be able to fill in her name, as long as she found the hospital, she should be able to find out the other party's information.
But Jin Zhu forgot that the hospital registered the patient's information, and if it was the woman who saw the patient instead of Li Xiang's uncle, where would they go to find each other? Because no one knew what the woman's name was.
"Jinzhu, do you have your father's mobile phone number?" Li Xiang asked Jin Zhu.
"Second uncle, just use your mobile phone to call." Jin Zhu knew that Li Xiang didn't have a phone, so after asking, he had to borrow someone else's phone to call, so he simply did a good job to the end.
Yang Dali didn't shirk it, took out his mobile phone and immediately dialed Yang Dashan.
"Big brother, I'm here with Jin Zhu, I'll call Jin Zhu a few times to go over for dinner, well, don't worry, big brother, I will definitely take care of a few nieces and nephews......" Yang Dali first shouted a few words to Yang Dashan, and then gave the phone to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang took the phone tremblingly, took a deep breath, and then asked: "Uncle Dashan, I'm Ah Xiang, I want to ask you where you met my uncle, what was the situation of my uncle at that time, did he seem to be doing well, his legs, can he still walk?" ”
Li Xiang had a stomach question, he didn't know how to ask, and choked up holding his mobile phone.
Seeing this, Jin Zhu pulled his mobile phone from his hand, "Dad, I'm Jin Zhu, you tell me about Uncle Ah Xiang's situation, and I'll tell him." ”
It turned out that Yang Dashan saw a person limping and holding a pregnant woman past when he was queuing up to pay the fee in the hospital hall, he felt that the person's face was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he thought that it was Li Xiang's uncle, but unfortunately when he ran out, the other party was gone.
"Jin Zhu, that's all I know, I don't know anything else, but you tell Ah Xiang that his uncle is wearing a good one, like a leather jacket, shiny, and the woman doesn't look like a poor person."
Hanging up the phone, Jin Zhu relayed Yang Dashan's words to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang had already controlled his emotions at this time, and he wanted to go back and tell Mapo the news.
At that time, Ma Po was discussing with her sister at home about finding Ma Chunsheng, so many years have passed, Ma Po has long let go of the grudge in her heart, but she can't let go of her son.
Ma Chunsheng was only seventeen years old when he ran away from home, and he was still lame on one leg, what could such a young child do when he went out? How can you feed yourself?
Another point, in order to pull Li Xiang all these years, she has kept embroidering lace and selling it for money, her eyes are getting more and more blindfolded, she is worried that she will never find this son again, she wants to see with her own eyes what her son looks like, but she can't.
And the reason why she kicked Li Xiang out was that she didn't want Li to want to know this, because she was afraid that the child would feel guilty and have a psychological burden.
"Grandma, grandma, I have news from my uncle, I have news from my uncle." Li Xiang ran home, but before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first.
Mapo was talking to her sister, and when she heard this, she was so excited that she stood up, and before she could speak, her eyes blurred.
"Tell me, child, who did you listen to, and where is your uncle?" Seeing this, my aunt and grandmother grabbed Li Xiang.
Li Xiang learned Yang Dali's words again, and learned that his son helped a pregnant woman into the hospital, and Ma Po hugged her sister and cried.
But now the problem comes, Li wants to go to Guangzhou to find his uncle, Ma Po is naturally not at ease, and his aunt and grandmother really can't draw people here, this season is the peak season for tourism, and the family is a mess.
But Li Xiang didn't want to miss this opportunity. (To be continued......)
