CHAPTER IX

Zhang Cuilian, who cleaned up the house and finished the housework, came to Aunt Chen's house late. Zhang's father is a big man who doesn't do housework, and Zhang's mother steamed buns and boasted of her hard work. The work of serving poultry, laundry and cooking at home automatically transferred to Zhang Cuilian.

After doing this, she came to Aunt Chen's house for a long time, and Zhang Cuilian threw herself on the mat. As for whether there were any guests in the house, she didn't notice it at all.

"Cuilian'er! Come into the house, my aunt has something to say to you! Aunt Chen suddenly called Zhang Cuilian in the house, and she got up from the bench and walked into the house.

The Chen Family Hall House is the same as my own, but it is much larger. As soon as you enter the house, you enter through the corridor, and the inside of the room is spacious and bright. On the windowsill is a row of flower pots, blooming beautifully. There is a TV cabinet in the corner of the wall facing the door, and a TV set is placed in the middle of the storage below, and a handicraft is placed on it.

There is a row of solid wood cabinets against the wall, and there are teacups and other items on the cabinets. A table was set up near the kang, and a middle-aged woman in her forties sat on the edge of the kang. Sitting below was a fair and handsome young man, looking himself up and down curiously.

Zhang Cuilian's psychological state is over forty years old, and if you look at these so-called handsome guys, they are just teenagers who are not very stinky and have not done anything. So she is also down-to-earth and generous, without a trace of shyness and weakness. This made everyone present nod secretly, thinking that Zhang Cuilian was a good girl.

Aunt Chen said with a smile: "This is a relative of my family, and I am saying that I want to find someone to tutor my child's homework." I just thought that you are studying very well, and it should be no problem to teach children! ”

Zhang Cuilian immediately became interested when she heard this, and asked happily: "I don't know how old the child is, if it's too big, I can't guarantee it." I'm afraid of misleading people's children! ”

The woman sitting on the kang said loudly: "It's not big, I haven't gone to elementary school yet." The kindergarten is too far away and the pick-up and drop-off is inconvenient. I want to take advantage of the summer vacation to find a teacher to teach my child first, and send it to preschool when school starts in September! ”

Zhang Cuilian nodded knowingly, and automatically sat opposite the woman. He asked, "Oh, is the kid literate now?" Can you understand pinyin? How much will you know about simple math? ”

The woman was stunned, but she didn't expect Zhang Cuilian to immediately switch to the mode of tutoring teacher. The handsome young man next to him smiled: "My nephew can't pinyin, and he can understand addition and subtraction within twenty." If you say a word, you will know your own name, and you will not know anything else! ”

Aunt Chen realized it later, and pointed to the woman: "This is my sister-in-law, you follow Qiaoying to call your aunt!" This is my eldest nephew, two years older than you, named Zhao Guoqing. ”

Zhang Cuilian shouted sweetly: "Auntie, Brother National Day!" ”

Aunt Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Guoqing was blushed by the sweet "Brother Guoqing". Zhang Cuilian thought that since there was no kindergarten, she didn't know where their home was.

When I asked, I learned that there was still a long way from home in Damintun, and it took an hour to get there by bicycle. Thinking about it, Zhang Cuilian was a little embarrassed.

Aunt Zhao smiled and asked, "How did you do in the exam?" If school starts in the future, do you have to go to school? ”

Zhang Cuilian noticed that the young man next to her seemed to be quite nervous. Zhang Cuilian glanced at him differently and replied: "I'm quite sure, and I've already signed up for a teacher." I went to school if I was admitted, but I didn't know if my family could afford it! ”

Aunt Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine!" After going to the normal school, I can go back home and become an elementary school teacher. I have a winter and summer vacation, and I don't usually get tired! ”

Aunt Chen understood and whispered to Zhang Cuilian: "Your family's conditions are not very good, don't be angry if your aunt tells the truth!" ”

Zhang Cuilian smiled and said, "It's okay, auntie, you can say it!" ”

"You also have a younger brother in your family, and to be honest, everyone in this neighborhood knows what kind of family they are. You said you still have to work on your own to earn tuition, when will you be able to make all this money? It's better to find a good family to get engaged, and someone will provide you with school. In this way, you will have a good job and a good in-law after graduation, isn't it a double win! ”

As soon as Aunt Chen finished speaking, Zhang Cuilian immediately figured it out. plus what she heard Chen Qiaoying say that night, and then join today's scene. Zhang Cuilian's old face turned red, and she was speechless.

Seeing that Zhang Cuilian suddenly understood the act of quickly lowering her head and blushing, Aunt Zhao chuckled in her heart. Looking at the silly son next to her who was happy and shy, and then at the smart Zhang Cuilian, she was a little hesitant.

"Don't be shy, kid. Your aunt is telling you the truth. We have a lot of relatives in our family, and there are a lot of nice guys. You go home and ask, if your parents are willing, I will give you a matchmaker! Aunt Zhao said this, which made Zhang Cuilian scratch her head.

And Aunt Chen and her son Zhao Guoqing looked at her incredulously. Aunt Zhao coughed softly and said with a smile: "Our home is also quite far away, if you are willing to come to teach the child." You come by bicycle every day and take care of the lunch at noon. 20 yuan a month, do you think it's okay? ”

Zhang Cuilian said with a smile: "Then I'll go back and think about it, I have to discuss it with my parents!" ”

After speaking, he stood up and said with a smile: "That's nothing, I'll go out to work!" ”

Aunt Chen nodded hurriedly: "Okay, you can go." If you want to go, send me a letter tomorrow. I'll take you to their house! ”

After speaking, she watched Zhang Cuilian walk out of the house, and she couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" ”

Zhao Guoqing also complained: "That's it, I think she's very good!" ”

Zhang Cuilian didn't say anything, and said that she wanted to go to the thatched house. From the thatched house to the back vegetable garden, I tiptoed to the back window. squatting and whispering, she is really one more problem with eavesdropping when she is reborn this time.

"What's the matter, I'm afraid of spending more money and regretting it?" Aunt Chen asked in a low voice, and Aunt Zhao sighed: "How can it." Didn't I just want her to be admitted to a normal school and become a teacher in the future! ”

Aunt Chen was stunned and didn't know what her sister-in-law meant: "What's the matter, the child didn't fall in love?" ”

Aunt Zhao shook her head: "It looks okay, I look pretty clean." Look at these old ladies outside, covered in dirt and reed foam. She had a neat little white shirt with an apron wrapped around her waist. When he came in, he took off his apron and put it outside, for fear of bringing dust into the house. At first glance, I fell in love with it! ”

Zhao Guoqing couldn't help but speak: "Then why are you?" ”

Aunt Zhao glared at her son: "Why? Because she is also too fine, she can see through a little. Look at the beginning, she thought she was really looking for a tutor, and asked about the child's situation at a glance. Later, when I heard you say, we didn't say that we were going to give the National Day Minister. People immediately understood that ordinary people could think so much. ”

Aunt Chen thought about it, if she changed their daughter, she would definitely not have thought of it. She deliberately bypassed the old Zhang family and let her sister-in-law see it first. The selfish intention is to wait for the sister-in-law to fall in love and the nephew to fall in love and then go to the old Zhang family. Just because of the two of them who fell into the eyes of money, this family business didn't run away.

"You're a real thing! If you weren't smart, you could still get into college? You have to find a stupid one again, and you want this literate one. Where to find it? Zhao Guoqing obviously fell in love with Zhang Cuilian, and couldn't help but get angry when he heard that this family affair was going to be yellow.

Zhang Cuilian overheard this and already understood. If this family business can be accomplished, it is called a strange. It's not that she can take a fancy to Zhao Guoqing, but what Zhao Guoqing said just now doomed the two of them to lose their fate.

Before you could do anything, you started talking to others. That means that Zhang Cuilian is a hundred good sons, and you don't mean that she won't marry. Which mother can be willing, let alone a powerful old woman like Aunt Zhao.

"There are many more cultures, you can find anything. The key is that you can't control such a daughter-in-law when she marries home. "Aunt Zhao's eyes are amazing, judging from the fact that Zhang Cuilian has to go to school by working part-time. If she passes through the door in the future, the head of the family will definitely not be the son in charge.

"Whoever is in charge can do anything, aren't you in charge of our family!" Zhao Guoqing said this, and completely annoyed his mother: "You are unproductive, anyway, I didn't fall in love." Look for it later, this just won't work! ”

Zhao Guoqingniu's temper came up: "I fell in love with her, what you said is not good!" ”

Aunt Zhao sneered: "What I said is not good? If you don't believe me, I won't give you any money. I don't think you can marry her? ”

Aunt Chen saw the mother and son arguing, and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, what a big deal." What's noisy, I'm not afraid of people outside hearing it! ”

Zhang Cuilian didn't go to Chen's house again, she was embarrassed to hit a wall. And the Chen family didn't make much money, and the only steamed bun industry that came to mind was given to his biological parents. She had to think of another way, and she had to go to the city to see it.

Zhang Cuilian walked to the intersection and saw Zhang's mother and Zhang's father selling steamed buns there. I couldn't hold back for a moment and walked over. When Zhang's mother saw her daughter coming, the first thing she said was: "Why didn't you go to work?" ”

Zhang Cuilian said: "There is too little work, I want to go to the city to see if there is anything." It's okay to be a waiter! ”

Zhang's mother pouted: "Pull it down, can you do that job as a waiter?" I think you're just lazy, so if you can't do it, sell buns with me! ”

Zhang Cuilian knows her parents very well, and she came to sell steamed buns. The two of them had to go home in less than half an hour, and they had to watch the money for the buns every day in the future.

Shaking his head, he said, "Then I can keep the money from selling buns for college?" Don't you need me to go out and earn money? ”

Zhang's mother was blocked by her daughter, and she was silent: "If you want to go, you can go, anyway, I don't work at home all day." It's also upsetting to look at you! ”

Zhang Cuilian got on the bus to the city and went all the way to the city center. After getting out of the car, she began to look everywhere, and there were not many workers in the hotel, and the price was even less.

Zhang Cuilian walked for four hours, and finally found a job in a small advertisement. A small paper shell factory, recruiting people to paste cartons. Charge by the piece, and the most important thing is that you can take it home and make it yourself!
