Chapter 61, unintentionally inserted willows
Li wanted to see Jin Zhu's embarrassment, touched his head, and didn't understand why Jin Zhu made him so many clothes, but he was unwilling to make him a pair of pants.
Jin Liu saw that Jin Zhu didn't agree to Li Xiang, pouted and thought about it, and said, "Brother Xiang, I know, the eldest sister is going to make clothes for me, and I'm going to the county seat to participate in a singing competition, and the eldest sister said to give me a beautiful skirt for students in the city." ”
"Oh, is it? Jin Liu is going to the county seat to participate in a singing competition? Are we so powerful? Li Xiang sat down opposite Jin Liu, praised her, and asked her what kind of competition it was, solo or chorus, etc.
"Seeing how excited she is, our school selected a choir to participate in the county's June 1st competition, and Jin Liu is the lead singer." Jin Yang said first with a smile.
"This is really a happy thing, I didn't expect Jin Liu to be selected as the lead singer at such a young age." Li Xiang is really happy for Jin Liu.
Jin Liu is the least courageous, and having the courage to stand in front of the stage to lead the singing is definitely a big challenge for her.
Jin Zhu also thought so, so in order to encourage her, he proposed to make her a dress for the students in the city to give her a little confidence.
"Well, actually, I have good news for you, I'm going to the city's math Olympiad next month." Li Xiang looked at Jin Zhu after speaking.
Jin Zhu read his eyes, which meant that Jin Liu could be rewarded with a set of skirts when he went to the county seat to sing, and he couldn't just reward clothes without pants when he went to the city to participate in the competition, right?
But what does this have to do with her?
"Really. Brother Xiang, you're amazing. Brother Xiang, do you have any prize money for participating in the competition? Jin Yang asked.
"There are no bonuses. If you have a certificate, you can go to the provincial competition if you get the ranking, and if you get the ranking in the province, you can also participate in the national competition, and you will get extra points in the college entrance examination in the future. ”
"Eldest sister, you can make two pairs of pants for Brother A Xiang, Brother A Xiang can't go to the competition without pants, right?" Jin Yang smiled and kicked Jin Zhu's foot with his toes.
"Yes, big sister. You do it for Brother Xiang first, I'm not in a hurry. Jin Liu also ran over and shook Jin Zhu's shoulder.
"Sister, I don't want my new clothes. Let's do it for Brother Xiang first. As he spoke, Jin Niu brought his practice book to Li Xiang and asked him to see if the calligraphy he wrote had improved.
Li Xiang saw that Jin Yang and the others had spoken for him, so he didn't say anything, and glanced at Jin Zhu with a smile. commented on two sentences of calligraphy written by Taurus. Then happily went home with the pile of clothes.
Jin Zhu still made two pairs of pants for Li Xiang in the end, anyway, for her, she has even made the shirt she wears, and she is not bad for these two pants, besides, men and women in this society are defenseless, not the time and space in which she lives.
Jin Zhu said to himself.
However, Li Xiang didn't let Jin Zhubai do it, those three days off. In the morning, he took Jin Yang and Jin Liu to Tianjiazhai to sell things, and in the afternoon, he came over to help Jin Zhu clean up the chicken pen downstairs and the vegetable patch behind. Other than that. He also helped Jinzhu contact his uncle, and Jinzhu's eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs could be sold to his uncle's family, saving Jinzhu a lot of trouble.
After May Day, the weather was getting hotter day by day, and Jin Zhu was hesitating whether to start making dresses when the principal of the village elementary school came to her door.
It turned out that Jin Liu wore a white short-sleeved shirt made of Jin Zhu and a navy blue strap skirt to practice singing, and the principal felt that this dress was really uplifting on stage, so he wanted to unify the choir's costumes and came over to ask Jin Zhu about the price.
In the past, Yangjiazhai also participated in several literary and artistic competitions in the county, and every time everyone was asked to wear white shirts and black pants, and the students who did not have it borrowed from each other, but every time it was not neat, either big or small, or yellow and old.
So this time, he wanted to squeeze out a little money from the school, and then go to the village committee to apply for some subsidies, and make 30 sets of such clothes to keep for the school to take out at any time when the school has activities.
Jin Zhu knew that the school's funds were tight, so he didn't quote much, the cost of a set of clothes was more than forty, and Jin Zhu's price was seventy, and thirty sets were only 2,100 yuan.
Jin Zhu didn't know how the principal persuaded the village chief, and the next day the village accountant sent Jin Zhu a deposit of 1,000 yuan.
It took more than two weeks for Kim Joo to rush out 30 short-sleeved shirts, 15 suspender skirts and 15 suspenders, and it is said that the choir changed into new clothes during the rehearsal, and the effect was indeed much better, and the children were full of enthusiasm for singing.
Although Jin Yang and Jin Niu did not participate in the choir, they also liked this dress, and they also made one with Jin Zhu, and the two of them jumped up and down to go to school.
Who knew that when Jin Zhu returned home that night, Zhou Shuixian entered the door with Jin Xing and Jin Bao, Jin Zhu was a little puzzled, this was the first time that the other party came to the door after Yang Dashan left.
It turned out that Jin Xing and Jin Bao both took a fancy to this school uniform, they had seen the children in the city wear it more than once on TV, and they had long been envious, but unfortunately Lin Yuemei never bought it, this time Jin Zhu will do it, Jin Yang and several people wore it out, so they clamored and asked Zhou Shuixian to come to Jin Zhu to make a body.
"Seventy dollars a set." After Jin Zhu finished speaking, he took two steps back.
"What? You short-lived ghost, you still need money to make two sets of clothes for your younger brothers and sisters, don't you think I don't know, you have tens of thousands of dollars in your hands, and you don't earn less from these clothes, and you still ask me for money? Pity me, a mother-in-law with two children, no one cares, no one asks......"
Sure enough, as soon as Jin Zhu quoted, Zhou Shuixian jumped up and habitually wanted to wave his hand.
"Mother, if you say these words to my second uncle and aunt, you are taking care of the children for them, and it has nothing to do with us." Jin Zhu interrupted her.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for Yang Dali and Lin Yuemei going too far, just thinking about only getting in and out, Jin Zhu would have made two clothes for Jin Xing and Jin Bao, after all, they were two ignorant children.
But after dealing with each other during the Spring Festival, Jin Zhu completely stopped this idea. Not to mention anything else, knowing that Yang Dashan and Sun Xiaoyan were gone, they didn't even think of calling Jin Zhu to have a meal on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Another point, before Li Xiaolian divorced, Jin Xing and Jin Bao's clothes were all wrapped by her. Lin Yuemei didn't say anything other than going home every year to say thank you.
After Li Xiaolian's divorce, Jin Zhu did not wear a new dress for four years. Lin Yuemei saw it in her eyes, she had never bought anything for them, that is, Zhou Shuixian would send Jin Xing and Jin Bao's old clothes to Jin Liu and Jin Niu, and every time she scolded and scolded Jin Zhu, they dragged down Yang Dashan and her.
With such a family, Jinzhu would never think of being kind to others.
"Why doesn't it matter, isn't that your second uncle and aunt? Isn't this your brother or sister? Zhou Shuixian pushed Jin Xing and Jin Bao over.
"Mother. If you want to say that, I have to ask you, my father, you are your own son, why does he have to exchange a chicken for a gelding? My second uncle can eat as much as he wants? This biological one can also be divided into several kinds. These Jin Xing and Jin Bao are not my father's own children, why should we care about them? Jin Yang said angrily.
She has always been obsessed with the four chicken mothers in the family, two were replaced by Yang Dashan to the Sun family, and on the third day of junior high school, the family invited guests and changed another one. The last one was also killed that day to make soup.
So much so that for a while they had to buy eggs if they wanted to. Fortunately, the chickens they raised began to lay eggs some time ago, otherwise, the resentment in Jin Yang's heart would not have been able to fall.
"You dead baby, how can you learn from your eldest sister so well, how can the old lady still use you to teach? I can give my chickens to whomever I want. ”
"That's it, my eldest sister can wear the clothes she wants to wear." Jin Yang was also annoyed.
Zhou Shuixian realized that she had said the wrong thing, thinking about what Jin Zhu had done in the past year, she knew that it was impossible to ask for two clothes from this white today.
"It's all family. Can't you just be cheaper? Jin Zhu, you say something. Is it okay to pay 50 yuan for two sets? Zhou Shuixian gritted his teeth and said a number.
"Fifty dollars is not enough for cloth. Also, I don't bargain, it's just seventy-one, if you want it, if you don't want it, pull it down, don't delay me cooking. Jin Zhu didn't have the patience to deal with them.
Two sets of clothes can earn a maximum of fifty yuan, with her current strength, she really doesn't take the fifty yuan in her eyes, with this time, she can make four dresses or embroider a lace, where can she not earn fifty yuan?
In addition, now the chickens and ducks at home are beginning to lay eggs, Jinzhu can sell eggs and duck eggs for at least 50 yuan a week, and during this time to make clothes plus selling zongzi, selling eggs and selling embroidery, another 1,500 yuan has been added to the account, not counting the money that Jin Yang sold winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots some time ago.
However, the 1,500 yuan was not deposited in the credit cooperative, but took the household registration book to the Agricultural Bank of China to open a new account, and then withdrew 500 yuan from the credit cooperative, and scraped together 2,000 yuan to save a two-year term.
She has already thought about it, all the newly earned money this year will be saved in the Agricultural Bank of China, and if she wants to spend money, she will go to the credit union to get it, so that Ma Yan will always tell Sun Xiaoyan about her family background.
Zhou Shuixian saw that Jinzhu didn't let go, so he wanted to leave with Jinxing and Jinbao, but Jinbao didn't do it, crying and making trouble, Zhou Shuixian was angry, reached out and slapped Jinbao's ass twice, Jinbao cried wow, Jinxing jumped up and said to Jinzhu: "You, you bully people, I'll call my mother." ”
"Go, no one is stopping you." Jin Yang couldn't get used to seeing her like that, and pointed to the door and said.
Jin Xing really cried and ran away.
Zhou Shuixian dragged Jinbao and scolded and left.
Jin Zhu didn't take this matter to heart, but it was Jin Niu, looking at Jin Zhu, he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, he held it for a long time, and saw that Jin Zhu was busy cooking, and no one paid attention to him, Jin Niu couldn't hold it back, and spoke weakly.
"Eldest sister, Jinbao played with me quite well at school, can't you give him a set of clothes?"
Before Jin Zhu could speak, Jin Yang poked Jin Niu's head first, "So soon you forgot that Jin Bao said that you wore his old clothes?" ”
"But, but, Jinbao won't talk about that now?" Taurus was confused again, he couldn't understand why Jin Zhu could give Jin Xing and Jin Bao delicious food, but he was reluctant to give them a set of clothes.
"Taurus, you heard the eldest sister tell you, the eldest sister is not targeting Jinbao, the eldest sister is targeting your mother-in-law and your second uncle, they just don't pay for money in their hands, they want us to give it away for nothing, today I gave him this for nothing, and tomorrow you come out in other clothes, he still wants it, do you want to send it? If you don't send it, they'll make a fuss like today, and you'll send it, and you'll want it next time, but our money is not rich, and the eldest sister will send a few of you to college. Jin Zhu patiently reasoned with the Golden Bull.
"But no, we're going to spend all the money, and when we ask for money ourselves, my mother won't give us a penny, have you forgotten why the eldest sister took us to jump into the river when you were sick last year?" Jin Yang said.
"Well, the past is over. Without further ado, let's get ready for dinner. Jin Zhu didn't want to mention the matter of jumping into the river again, she was afraid that Jin Niu's more cheerful temperament would go back.
"Eat, eat, I'm hungry for a long time." Jin Liu didn't speak after Zhou Shuixian entered the door, and he shouted happily.
She doesn't like Jin Xing, and she doesn't like Zhou Shuixian, so she doesn't want Jin Zhubai to give Jin Xing new clothes, but she doesn't dare to say this in front of Zhou Shuixian, for fear of being beaten.
Seeing that Jin Zhu and Jin Yang teamed up to drive away Zhou Shuixian, her courage grew up again, and her heart rejoiced.
Zhou Shuixian was still reluctant to take out one hundred and forty yuan to make the clothes for Jin Xing and Jin Bao.
But two days later, it happened to be Saturday, Yang Xiaohong came to find Jin Zhu, at that time Jin Zhu was measuring his body with Shi Xue and Shi Chen, and Luo Shuihua was looking at the sample made by Jin Zhu.
Of course Luo Shuihua knew Yang Xiaohong, but it was just a nodding acquaintance, the two exchanged a few polite words, and after the Jinzhu finished measuring the size, Luo Shuihua left with the two children.
Yang Xiaohong came to be a lobbyist for Zhou Shuixian, saying that everyone is a family, and the family should not be careful, and Jin Liu and Jin Niu didn't know how many old clothes of Jin Xing and Jin Bao they wore before, and they should know how to be grateful and so on.
Jin Zhu said a lot of things by her, but she didn't answer, she still lowered her head and cut the cloth, Yang Xiaohong saw that she said that Jin Zhu didn't react at all after a long time, and couldn't help but be a little moved.
"Jin Zhu, you should give a good word, your mother-in-law is old, her health is not good, she can't be angry, you can't be considerate and considerate of her?"
"Auntie, which of you has ever been considerate of us?" Jin Zhu didn't even raise his head.
"Why are you not considerate? If you don't understand it, when the season changes, I will send you Lulu and Feifei's clothes in large bags, you kid, you are so generous now, you have more than 30,000 yuan, it's not bad, and you are still so picky? ”
"Then why don't you say that my mother didn't get divorced before Lulu and their clothes were all made new by my mother? There are also Jin Xing and Jin Bao, but which of you has bought us even a new vest? Auntie, we don't talk about the previous things, it doesn't mean that we are stupid, we have 30,000 yuan, but none of us can point to it, we have to find our own way to go to high school and college in the future, if we want to say that this is not bad, my second uncle is not bad at this, so, I'm sorry, auntie, please go back. ”
"You baby, I don't know who to learn from, you don't get in oil and salt, you don't talk about family affection at all, forget it, I can't make sense with you, I'll call your dad."
Yang Xiaohong took out her mobile phone and was about to dial it out, but suddenly remembered that she answered Yang Dashan's call at Yang Dali's house last year and still didn't listen to Yang Dashan's words, so it is estimated that this call will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaohong left in a huff. (To be continued......)
