Chapter 188: Li Baoyu drops out of school

Hong Cheng saw Xiangqin fiddling with the box of eggs sent by Erjuan, and the faces of Erjuan and her mother appeared in front of him, and he immediately became angry.

He urged Parsley, "I don't like eggs, so give them back!" ”

Parsley gave him a sneer, and the action of unpacking the box in her hand did not stop at all.

"If you don't like to eat, others won't like it!"

Of course, Parsley doesn't like to receive gifts, and when she receives gifts from others, she has to return the gift to others. This is called the exchange of courtesies.

But she felt that with Erjuan and her family, there was no need to be polite at all. These eggs should be regarded as the spiritual compensation given to her by Erjuan, and they will not be accepted in vain! You can't get along with anything, but you can't get along with food.

There were two stacks of eggs in the box, a total of 24 eggs. Parsley dismantled the box in which the eggs were packed and was not reluctant to throw it away. It's not that this box is good-looking, this thing can be sold to the rags, but even if it is sold, I'm afraid it won't sell for a penny.

Parsley flattened the box, stepped on it into a cardboard shape, and placed it under the bed.

Such things can be used as firewood.

Suddenly, there was a burst of earth-shattering firecrackers outside, crackling one after another.

Listen to the direction from which the sound of firecrackers comes from, and it should not be far from the intersection. Xiangqin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Hong Cheng, "What's the matter?" ”

Hong Cheng pricked up his ears and listened carefully, it must be the road south of the intersection that firecrackers were being set off, he suddenly had a happy face, raised his voice and said a little excitedly: "The road is open!" The bridge over there is repaired! Walk. Let's go check it out! ”

Parsley and Hong Cheng went to the other side of the bridge.

As Hong Cheng said, it took more than three months for the new bridge to be built.

The newly renovated stone bridge was lit with 1,000 firecrackers at each end. Celebrate the completion of the new bridge and the opening of the bridge to traffic. The smell of gunsmoke from the firecrackers could not hide the festive atmosphere on the bridge.

The sound of firecrackers attracted people in the vicinity, and people stepped on the red debris left behind by the firecrackers, stepping on the stone bridge, from one end of the bridge to the other, and from one end of the bridge to the other end of the bridge.

The railings on both sides of the stone bridge are full of people, and when laughing, don't forget to look at the water of the Honghe River under the bridge.

The new bridge is stronger than the previous earthen bridge. It's also a lot more spacious, and it also allows people to walk on it. I feel a lot more at ease.

Xiangqin and Hong Cheng stood side by side on the edge of the bridge, Xiangqin grabbed the railing and glanced under the bridge, she immediately retracted her head, such a height made her feel a little dizzy.

"It's pretty high." Parsley sighed.

They all crossed the river on a bridge. The feeling of standing on the stone bridge is different from the feeling of standing on the earthen bridge.

Hong Cheng said: "When we had a big flood here in the past seven years, the water in this river rose so high that we couldn't see the bridge at all. Once this bridge is built, no matter how much water it is, it will not be able to flood it. He smacked his lips, looking like a greedy cat. As soon as he talked about the water, he wanted to eat fish, "When we go back." Buy a fish and eat braised fish at night. ”

"Buy what to buy, only eggs for you to eat!"

Hong Cheng was not happy. Humming and chirping, like a child who can't ask for candy, "I don't like eggs." ”

"Do you like to eat or not! Anyway, there is nothing but eggs. Xiangqin felt that she couldn't get used to him too much, otherwise Hong Cheng's mouth would become more and more open.

At this moment, a voice came from behind Parsley. "Sister-"

Xiangqin and Hong Cheng turned around at the same time and saw Li Baoyu standing behind them.

Li Baoyu and several other partners in Lijia Village went to the bridge to see the excitement.

Li Baoyu waved to his companion beside him. "You guys go play first, I'll talk to my sister."

Hong Cheng rolled his eyes, he knew that this Li Baoyu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he couldn't expect to hear what he liked from his mouth, but he was afraid that what Li Baoyu said would only be in line with his own heart.

Li Baoyu looked at Hong Cheng and Parsley, a smile appeared on his face, and when he saw Hong Cheng glaring at him, he immediately looked like he had been electrocuted, the look on his face tightened, and the whole person shrank for a moment.

He resigned, "Sister, I want to talk to you." ”

"If it doesn't work, don't say it." Xiangqin was already completely disappointed in her own brother.

Li Baoyu is a child, but the people who learn from the Li family are not like ghosts. Xiangqin is related to him, the sister and brother of the compatriots, she is very righteous to Li Baoyuren, but Li Baoyu in turn counts what to her?

Li Baoyu's expression was complicated, and he felt so embarrassed that he was embarrassed, but he still stubbornly continued, "Our father won't let me go to school." He cautiously looked at Parsley's face, and saw that she was somewhat moved by his words, and he immediately felt like he was motivated, and he was quite confident when he spoke, "He didn't want to pay me tuition, and said that male dolls don't need to have a high level of education, just know a few words, and just count them." ”

Hong Cheng was not angry, and his tone was not good to Li Baoyu, "It's your father who won't let you go to school, what's the use of you telling Xiangqin, and you want to leave her here to ask for tuition?" Your sister hasn't been to school yet! I don't think the teacher taught you personally, so it's really better not to go to school! He wrapped her shoulders around Celess tightly, "Celestry, let's go!" ”

Hong Cheng dragged the parsley and left Li Baoyu far behind.

Xiangqin actually thought that it would be a matter of time before Li Baoyu dropped out of school.

Li Baoyu's study is not good, Li Laosan provides for him, and he doesn't expect him to be angry, he just wants to earn face.

Looking at the entire Lijia Village, there are really not many families who can send their children to high school. Li Baoyu can go to junior high school, which is already very high-grade.

Li Baoyu stood on the bridge for a long time, looking at the backs of Xiangqin and Hong Cheng in a daze, and the gloomy gaze in his eyes suddenly burst into light like a resurgence.

He rushed to catch up, and begged Xiangqin bitterly, "Sister, I really want to continue going to school, I didn't think about asking you for tuition, if you know where our master hid the silver dollar, you can tell me, as long as there is a silver dollar, my tuition will not be settled!" ”

Parsley was a little angry, she really didn't know the same thing, and they would have to listen to it a few times before they believed it.

"I don't know, why are you still asking me?" Xiangqin couldn't wait to take a big horn and shout at the sky to see if Li Baoyu could hear her words in his ears. However, Li Baoyu dropped out of school, and she really couldn't bear it.

Xiangqin made an agreement with him in front of Li Baoyu, "If you want to go to school, you can continue to go to school, don't care what Li Laosan and others say, as long as you can rely on more than ninety points in the whole subject, bring the paper to me and show it, Li Laosan doesn't provide it for you, I will provide it for you!" ”

Xiangqin is equivalent to giving Li Baoyu a big problem, although Li Baoyu has no confidence, he still wants to give it a try.

Although Hong Cheng disagreed, he didn't mean to drive people to a dead end.

He said cruelly to Li Baoyu in front of him, "I'll tell you, if you dare to deceive a little, don't think that we won't know, when your sister doesn't beat you, I will also slap your face!" ”

Li Baoyu nodded busily, looking very teachable.

"Okay, don't leave it here to join in the fun, you can go back and study hard!" Parsley urged Li Baoyu.

"I'll go back now!" Li Baoyu responded, ran up the embankment, and went home along the embankment.

Separated from Li Baoyu, when Xiangqin and Hong Cheng went to the crossroads, they met Duan Yongyuan halfway.

Duan Yongyuan rode a tricycle, and the tricycle carried a large round basket covered with a cloth, and inside was hot tofu.

Duan Yongyuan stopped in front of Hongcheng and Xiangqin, "I saw that the door of the house was locked, so I knew you were coming this way." ”

Many people want to witness the opening of the new bridge, and Parsley and Hong Cheng are no exception.

They are also idle, running out to do activities, and come here to join in the fun.

"Why are you riding up this way?" Hong Cheng asked.

Duan Yongyuan said "hi" helplessly, and replied: "Aren't you all here to see the bridge, there are very few people at the crossroads, so I want to come here to sell hot tofu, and by the way, I also come to join in the fun."

Parsley urged him, "Then you go quickly, I will see that many people have already gone back." ”

Duan Yongyuan let out a "hh", kicked hard under his feet, rode a tricycle, carried a basket of hot tofu, and went to the other side of the bridge.

Xiangqin and Hong Cheng went back, and when they saw Liu Ling standing in front of the wooden house, Xiangqin thought that something was wrong with Liu Ling.

"Liu Ling, what's wrong? Is something wrong? ”

Liu Ling hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, "No, no." As she spoke, she glanced at the culvert, "I just want to buy a bowl of hot tofu, and Yongzi hasn't come out yet." ”

Xiangqin and Hong Cheng looked at each other, and the two of them pursed their lips and laughed in unison.

Liu Ling blushed suddenly, lowered her head, and said glutinously: "I just want to buy a bowl of hot tofu ......"

Parsley couldn't help laughing, "Then don't wait here," she said, pointing to the road south of the crossing, "go to the bridge and look for him, for when we come back, we see him riding his tricycle." ”

Liu Lingzheng felt that her face was hot, and she was so embarrassed that she was embarrassed to raise her head.

She whispered, "Then I'll go over ......."

Looking at Liu Ling's figure of running away, Hong Cheng laughed, "These two people are really interesting, just say it if you like it, what excuse do you use hot tofu for!" ”

When he said "two people", he naturally referred to Duan Yongyuan and Liu Ling.

Parsley glanced at him, "You think everyone is just like you!" ”

Hong Cheng was not ashamed but proud, and said confidently: "Is it like that, when those two people fall in love, one of them must play the ‖ first, otherwise how do you think the child was born?"

Parsley rolled her eyes, "The more you talk, the more unserious it becomes, take care of your own business!" ”

Neither Xiangqin nor Hong Cheng likes others to interfere in their feelings, and of course they don't care about other people's affairs.

What kind of development Duan Yongyuan and Liu Ling have depends on their own creation. (To be continued) R655
