Chapter 43: Joy and Prosperity

bought a storefront and a house, plus seventy-seven eighty-eight taxes, and the money in the account was spent overnight.

Mother He was so distressed that she hadn't slept well for several nights, and of course, she might have been excited.

The first house in the city in my life, although it is a second-hand house, it is better than the house is big enough, the decoration is luxurious enough, compared to the current residence, it is simply a day and a place, can not make the two of them excited!

After the excitement, it's time to start preparing for the move.

After a year of rumoring about the demolition of the houses on the street in Jiangsan Lane, a government notice was finally posted on the days after the new semester began for the brothers and sisters, saying that as of the end of July, all the houses facing the street with the word "demolition" written in bright red must be relocated, otherwise, they will be forcibly demolished.

It's only early February, and if you move by the end of July, you still have five months to prepare.

The furniture in the new house is ready-made, and the wardrobes and the like are all wall cabinets built into the wall, and the former owner can't take them away if he wants to.

Fabric sofas and the like, He Mu spent a few days of hard work tearing the cloth to make her own covers, replacing the old cushions and old pillows with new ones, and removing the curtains in each room and washing them again. There are fewer household appliances, only air conditioners and water heaters are left.

After using a refrigerator in a rental house in Jiangsan Lane, He Mu found that this thing was really lacking in the kitchen, especially when the weather was hot, there was a refrigerator, no (I don't know how much trouble I could save.) So I gritted my teeth and bought a new two-door refrigerator with a discounted old model. As for other electrical appliances, if you can't add them, you won't add them. Washing machine or something, in Hemu's opinion, the clothes and sheets that have not been washed by hand are clean. Don't spend that unjust money.

Don't look at the five-month grace period is quite relaxed, but because of the middle school entrance examination, He's father and mother's hearts have always been tense, until the end of He Xidong's high school entrance examination, the family moved to a new home in Caitian District, and the woodware shop was also settled and opened in Wenxinyuan Community, and they were relieved.

During this period. He Wei completed the family photo embroidery ordered by Boss Yuan as promised.

When Boss Yuan got the family photo, he was actually quite apprehensive, for fear that He Wei would not embroider it well. If it's really not embroidered. The money is secondary, mainly to the family, the old lady already knows that someone is embroidering family portraits for the fourth generation of their family, if the old lady is disappointed. Isn't it a great sin?

Unexpectedly. As soon as the red silk covering the family photo was revealed, let alone him, even Tao Defu on the side was stunned. Is this really embroidered? If you don't look closely, it's a huge poster.

"It's a god!" Boss Yuan smiled happily, patted He Wei's little shoulder, and was full of praise: "Xiao He, I look forward to the day when you become a world-class embroidery master, this family photo." I swear I'll keep it until I die, and hang it on the wall of my living room......"

He Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that Boss Yuan is satisfied." "It's worth all the time and effort she's put in.

"Satisfied! Absolutely satisfied! What's not to be satisfied with about this! ”

Boss Yuan is holding a family photo. After admiring it over and over again, he finally said to Toddford, "No! I have to give Xiao He some extra bonuses, and you sue me about Xiao He's account. ”

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and said to He Wei after a while: "Xiao He, I asked someone to give you 20,000 yuan in your account, which is a thank you gift!" Don't be polite to me, maybe I'll have you for help in a few days. ”

Sure enough, after three days, Boss Yuan took a friend of his to Yuxiu Pavilion to find He Wei, and entrusted her to make a pair of calligraphy and painting embroideries that were "successful to success", and made an appointment to deliver them at the end of October, so I was not in a hurry, and I embroidered slowly during the summer vacation.

Since He Wei finished the final exam, under the pretext of reading books in the listed library, she came to Yuxiu Pavilion to escape the summer and do embroidery work, and rubbed tea in Tao Defu's office by the way.

Tao Defu can be regarded as seeing that this girl is greedy for the tea products he treasures, her mouth is greedy, and her heart is also greedy, otherwise she would not run so diligently in the store.

After Gu Xu heard about it, he sent a few cans of special tea that are extremely difficult to find on the market, and the name is beautiful: "future wife" who thanked his friend.

He Wei turned around, when she didn't hear what Tao Defu relayed, but the tea was unceremoniously enjoyed a few more cups.

……

After moving, it is generally necessary to invite guests to toast, and He Wei's family did not plan to invite people from his hometown to come up, so they could not explain clearly, but He Wei's physical education teacher, He's father and mother chattered several times, and this time they could finally invite someone to sit at home and have a light meal.

So, He Wei rode her newly bought lady's bicycle and ran to the riverside community early in the morning, inviting He Chifeng's family to go to their new home for lunch on July 25.

This day is the auspicious day of the zodiac picked out by He's mother from the old yellow calendar, and this day in July is a good day for everything to be free of taboos, otherwise it would not have been pushed so late, after all, their family moved over in early July.

He Chifeng's son He promised to end his exchange career at the end of May and return to his alma mater in June, and he didn't go out to play during the summer vacation.

"When the demolition notice was posted, I still told Lao He, I don't know where your family is going to move, I learned that it is Wenxinyuan in Caitian District, we are also relieved, that community is really good, several high-quality high schools are nearby, it is convenient to go to high school in the future, and we can save accommodation." Xu Huixiang poured a cup of freshly squeezed watermelon juice for He Wei as she spoke, allowing her to cool off the heat and moisten her throat.

"But it's a little far away from Mingjiang Middle School." He Chifeng frowned and asked He Wei, "Do you have any plans to transfer schools?" ”

Since He's father and mother learned that they settled in Wenxinyuan and the school status of the two children can also be transferred to the community junior high school where Wenxinyuan is located, they really have the idea of letting their daughter transfer to another school, and it is convenient to be close to home after all.

But He Wei has no such plans, on the one hand, she is familiar with the classmates and teachers in Mingjiang Middle School, and she doesn't want to change the environment to adapt again. Moreover, after changing schools, she can't "pass" by Yugu Lane, and there is nothing wrong with riding a bicycle to and from school, so she should exercise.

So, she found out the ranking of the admission rate of several junior high schools in Qingshi over the years and read it to her parents. Seeing that the admission rate of Mingjiang Middle School was higher than that of Wenxinyuan's community junior high school over the years, He's father and mother dispelled the idea of letting their daughter transfer to another school. In addition to buying her a light lady's bicycle, she also got a monthly bus ticket, so that she could ride in good weather and take the bus in bad weather, and this matter was decided.

Therefore, as soon as He Chifeng asked, He Wei took a sip of cool and sweet watermelon juice, shook her head without thinking about it and said, "Don't turn around." My parents bought me a bicycle and rode it to and from school. ”

"Wouldn't that be too tiring?" Xu Huixiang looked at He Wei's little arms and legs with a worried face, "The class in the first year of junior high school is quite easy. But in the third year of junior high school, I have to be half an hour late after school, and the bus goes back and forth every day, will it be too wasteful of time? ”

"Time is like a sponge. Squeeze and there is. ”

Enter the door from He Wei. Xiao Zhengtai, who had been lying on the back of the sofa and listening to their conversation quietly, came out with such a sentence coldly, and it was still a serious old pedant tone, which made He Wei laugh.

Xu Huixiang slapped her son away angrily and funny: "I'll talk to you Sister Weiwei for a few words, what are you making a fuss about!" Let's play! ”

He Xu got up from the sofa with a grin, winked his eyes at He Wei, and went back to the room to continue tinkering with his science little truth.

He Wei didn't sit long, as long as the task assigned by her parents was completed. After drinking the watermelon juice in the cup, he got up and said goodbye.

On the way home. By the way, I went around the Yu Embroidery Pavilion, bought some silk thread and satin, embroidered a few stitches before going to bed, and then asked Father He to help her nail a few wooden frames, and then went back to frame the embroidery and decorate the new home and new room.

After turning around like this, it was already noon when I returned to Wenxinyuan, parked my bicycle in front of my store, took off my big straw hat and sunshade shawl, and moved a box of peaches that Xu Huixiang insisted she brought into the store, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" ”

"Why did you come back at this time? Hot or not? Blow the fan quickly and cool it, the tea is cool on the table, and pour it yourself. ”

Mother He was washing vegetables in the small kitchen in the middle when she heard her daughter's voice and poked her head out.

Seeing the peach in her daughter's hand, her heart trembled: "It won't be your wife who asked you to bring it again, right?" ”

Following the import of cherries, their family has eaten the seasonal fruits brought by Xu Huixiang several times, such as mangoes in March, mangosteen in April, strawberries in May, bayberry in June, and now in July, they asked their daughter to bring the most seasonal peaches, which made their family embarrassed to death.

"Well, my wife insisted that I bring it back, saying that there are several boxes at home, and if we can't finish it, it will be rotten, so let's help consume it."

It's the same sentence again. Mother He didn't know what to say, so she turned around and discussed with Father He: "Do you want to make some household wooden utensils for her teacher's house?" Like the folding flower stand that Wei Wei drew yesterday is good, it is open when you use it, you don't need to fold it up, and it doesn't take up space to put it on the balcony. ”

"Okay." Father He nodded, "The flower stand is not difficult, and it can be done in two nights." Then let Dongzi go to the Flower and Bird City to buy a few pots of flowers and plants, and send them over. ”

"That's a good idea." Mother He smiled reassuringly, returned to the inner room to continue washing vegetables, and asked her daughter: "Your brother won't come back at noon, what exhibition will he accompany his master to see again, do you want to eat cold noodles?" If you want to eat, your mother won't cook at noon. Didn't have much appetite on a hot day......"

Didn't He Xidong help an old man with a sprained waist in Yugu Lane last time and send him home? The old man is said to be the honorary director of the Qing City Antique Society, and learned that He Xidong is learning the knowledge of antique treasure appreciation by himself, and has the intention of developing in the antique world in the future, he waved his hand and accepted him as an apprentice.

Before the high school entrance examination, He's mother was still worried that her son would run out at every turn, and what would happen if he failed the exam?

But the results of the first mock test came out, and his son's score was better than any previous big exam, and when he went to the parent-teacher conference, even his homeroom teacher said that as long as he kept the same learning state as before, not to mention the third and fourth middle schools, he could go to several ordinary high schools, and there was no pressure on the first middle school.

No. 1 Middle School is the only provincial-level key high school in Qing City, with a promotion rate of 94%. In other words, as long as you enter a middle school and don't mix too much, going to college is no longer just a dream.

What was the learning state of He Xidong before he was a model? Outsiders may not know, how many people in the family, especially He's mother, can still be unclear? Seven days a week, five days at school, after school, under the pretext of accompanying my sister to exercise, kicking football until the school closes before going home. On the weekend, there was not a day when I stayed at home to review, either going to the ancient alley to go to the stall, or following his freshly baked master to go around to see the exhibition, and once went to Haicheng, and temporarily called to say that he would not go home at night...... In such a state of learning, the homeroom teacher even let him maintain it?

He Mu was really speechless.

There were also a few parents of students around her, envious of her son's good grades, and asked her how she supervised her children's studies at home, and asked her to teach her a few tricks to manage her children's experience, she answered truthfully: "His father and I didn't care much about him......"

really didn't care about him, he just herded sheep and graze, and by the way, he earned some income for his family.

But where are the parents of the students willing to believe it, when she is stingy and unwilling to teach, she turns her head there and complains: "Hmph! It's just a mock exam, who knows if it's luck, what's so proud, and if you have the ability to take the high school entrance exam, you can also take the third ...... of the grade"

Mother He was aggrieved, and she didn't want to cook when she got home, so she sulked on the bed.

The chef couldn't afford to work at work, and He Wei was pushed out as a lobbyist by the two big men in the family.

In fact, she wanted to roll up her sleeves and go into battle and say "I'm coming", but as soon as Father He and He Xidong saw her touching the kitchen knife, they immediately raised a loud voice and shouted there: "Don't move!" Hurry up and persuade your mother to go! ”

He Wei had no choice but to fully mobilize her brain cells, moved to He's mother, and persuaded her with all her heart: "Mom, people say that, I don't know how to be jealous of you, if the mock exam is not important, why did the school convene you for a parent-teacher conference?" How could the teacher say that let my brother keep his current learning state dark? The mock exam is the drill ...... for the high school entrance examination"

Mother He was persuaded by her daughter, thinking that it made sense, she immediately came back to life, grabbed her son and read a few words, hummed a little song and went to cook.

The chef returned to work, and the family was overjoyed.

However, after that, although He's mother did not strictly control her son's spare time, but at the dinner table, she gave him a lot more advice than before, fortunately, after the two big exams of the second model and the third model, He Xidong played very well, and after the third model, it was followed by the actual combat of real swords and guns - the high school entrance examination.

The family followed the chaos for a few days, until the end of the high school entrance examination and the announcement of the results on the tenth day after the exam, and her son's score was not a problem to enter the first middle school, and He's mother landed steadily.

He Xidong finally doesn't have to listen to He's mother anymore, although high school is more stressful than junior high school, but at least in the next two months of summer vacation, he is liberated and free, so he follows his master to go out more diligently. (To be continued......) R1292
