Chen Linxiu knew that Chen Xinchun had picked up his grandchildren again, and he was very calm, he had learned enough about Li Xia.

"Dad, you let him go, anyway, I don't think he expects me to retire." Chen Linxiu was weak.

His work in the county town did not go very smoothly, and those people like him who were demoted from above were even more open and secret, and they were tenacious.

"Then it's up to your cousin to be so confused?" Chen Xingui was angry and felt that Chen Linxiu was not self-motivated.

Chen Linxiu thought to himself, it was also his cousin's own business to be confused, he would raise it if he was willing to raise it, and when the child was overpriced and he couldn't afford it, he would naturally know that it was powerful.

At that time, he won't help raise the child anyway, and he can't take care of the three of them himself.

"If that time comes, don't keep it, you can let your cousin give you the house, and you can give a few children a bite to eat and drink." After listening to Chen Linxiu's words, Chen Xingui's mind turned and he felt that this was fine.

"I don't have that condition, after nine years of obligation, I will stutter and raise myself until I can go to work and go to school"

Chen Xingui patted his thigh, feeling that his son was still stable, he was getting older, and he couldn't think as clearly as his son.

Hearing Chen Xingui say this, Chen Linxiu didn't bother to explain, if he denied it, his father would have to discipline him.

"You've been there for so long, you haven't come back, you're busy with work, huh? Does the leader value you? After Chen Xinchun's family affairs, Chen Xingui rarely cared about his son's work.

was transferred to the county seat, Chen Linxiu was not good at telling people that he was demoted, and only with the people around him, it was the county leader who retired, and he was seconded for a period of time.

Hearing this, Chen Linxiu's already irritable mood became even more depressed, "I don't understand with you, you don't understand anything, don't ask, I'll hang up if it's okay." ”

"Hey, hey!" Chen Xingui listened to the busy sound, didn't come back to his senses for a while, took it away and looked at it, and fed it a few more times before confirming that the phone was hung up over there, "This kid ......"

However, knowing that Chen Linxiu had an idea in his heart, Chen Xingui didn't want to think so much.

In the past six months, seeing that his cousin's health is getting better and better, he wants to count on his son to take over the house, and it is estimated that he will have to wait.

Then just wait.

"Who is that old man, and why does he always look at us with that nasty gaze?" Tao Ran followed Li Nan and Song Fanfan.

Song Fanfan was reluctant to play with Tao Ran at first, he felt that Tao Ran was a bit oily, but he was Li Nan's younger brother, so he reluctantly took it.

I really wanted to deal with it for a while, and found that Tao Ran didn't look so annoying on the surface except for picking the door a little.

"He's your cousin." Song Fanfan glanced at it and saw Chen Xingui looking at them with his hands behind his back, his gaze was not very annoying, "He is an elder, you can't be so rude." ”

"......" Tao Ran.

Wronged, it was obviously Li Nan and Song Fanfan who looked over, and the old man restrained his expression.

"Don't worry about him, although he's an uncle, he barely moves." Li Nan glanced at it and explained lightly.

Tao Ran shrugged, no matter what, "By the way, aren't you really going to pick up the rags with me?" In fact, it's quite interesting, you can pick up fun toys, repair them, use them, and exchange them for money. ”

No one knew that Tao Ran had saved more than 80 yuan by picking up rags so far.

In order to move Li Nan and Song Fanfan, Tao Ran also reported the number of his vaults.

More than eighty yuan, enough for him to finish school.

Tao Ran is eleven years old this year, only a few months older than Li Nan, because he goes to school late, but like Li Yang, he is in the fourth grade.

"But last year's red envelopes for the New Year's money were more than 80 yuan." Song Fanfan looked dazed, not knowing what more than eighty yuan had to be proud of.

Tao Ran, "......? ”

He and Song Fanfan are obviously not all the way, Tao Ran set his eyes on Li Nan.

"You don't have that much money, do you?" Tao Ran asked Li Nan.

"No Sakura" Li Nan shook his head, Tao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately listened to Li Nan again, "But your task now is to study, it's too wasteful of time to pick up rags, your foundation is not good, you have to find more time to study with us during the winter vacation."

When picking up Tao Ran's siblings, Li Xia specially asked her cousin Tao Ran's academic performance and learned that Tao Ran had always been at the bottom of the class.

My cousin wanted to manage it, but Tao Ran didn't have a proper learning attitude, so she couldn't control it at all.

After returning home, she confessed to Li Nan and asked him to take Tao Ran to study, anyway, Tao Ran is only in the fourth grade now, and it is easy to catch up.

As for Tao Tao, the most important thing now is to supplement her nutrition, take care of her body, and don't worry about studying.

"What's the point of learning, it's much more fun to make money." Tao Ran disagreed.

Li Nan shook his head, "No, my sister explained before leaving." ”

Li Xia's train yesterday went to Shenshi, and she was expected to be able to come back in about ten, and before leaving, she handed over Tao Ran and Tao Tao to Li Nan and Li Yang.

"Won't it be over if you don't tell her? When she comes back, it's okay to pretend again. Tao Ran gave an idea.

Li Nan frowned, glanced at Song Fanfan, and grabbed Tao Ran's hand and pulled him back.

"You want to do your own thing, complete a learning task, you can do whatever you want." Li Nan's face was serious.

At this time, not only Tao Ran felt that he and Song Fanfan were not all the way, but even Li Nan and Song Fanfan felt that they were not all the way to Tao Ran.

Song Fanfan is actually quite skinny, but he is just good at fighting, plus the family conditions are good, he is generous, and there are many people around him, who are really coaxing, and he likes to fight.

But the education he has received from the beginning of the year is that he can't lie to adults, he must dare to act, and it is not right to be like Tao Ran.

"You're not, in fact, adults are the best at deceiving children, and it's okay for us to deceive them!" Tao Ran was pressed to the desk, holding Song Fanfan's old textbook for the fourth grade, and his head was big.

He pushed the book aside and made up his mind not to read it.

It just so happened that he would transfer to school here next semester, and he even saved his winter vacation homework, what a good thing.

Li Nan glanced at him, "It's not right to lie, it's wrong for adults to lie to children, you don't want to learn." ”

"......" Tao Ran.

He felt that Li Nan and Song Fanfan were very boring, so he pushed the book, "I want to learn from you, I don't want to learn, what is there to learn." ”

and went out with his hands behind his back.

When he went out and found that Li Nan and Song Fanfan didn't follow, Tao Ran kicked the fallen leaves in the courtyard and snorted softly, "Nerd!" ”

Song Fanfan looked at Li Nan, Li Nan shook his head, "Don't worry, let's finish our own things first." ”

His sister understood to them early on that although Tao Ran and Tao Tao were granddaughters of their grandparents, they did not need to take any responsibility for Tao Ran's brothers and sisters.

If everyone can get along peacefully, it is best for Tao Ran to be obedient, everyone learns and plays together, if not, take care of yourself and go to school

"Okay, my dad brought me two sets of test papers before, let's compete?" Song Fanfan raised his eyebrows and asked Li Nan.

They often compare like this, but he lost before, and his speed of doing questions is a little slower than Li Nan's, and the accuracy rate is not as high as Li Nan's.

However, during this time, he also had his own anger at home, and this time he just looked at the results.

Li Nan flipped through the book for a moment, and took the alarm clock on the table, "Forty-five minutes? ”

Song Fanfan handed him the test paper, "Let's start!" ”

……

After Tao Ran ran out, he walked around the neighborhood a few times, looked at the surrounding good places for picking up garbage, and asked for directions to the two nearest waste recycling stations, and then returned home slowly.

Let's call it home.

Anyway, they have a little more sense of belonging than in his cousin's house, but it's still not as good as their former home.

When he returned home, Chen Xinchun accompanied his grandmother back to the house, but in the study, Li Nan and Song Fanfan were no longer there.

The nerd isn't even studying? It's magical.

"Grandpa, what about Brother Nan?" Tao Ran went back to the room and took a look, the books on the desk were all gone, they shouldn't have left all of a sudden.

Chen Xinchun was not surprised to see Tao Ran acting alone, boys have their own ideas, unlike girls who have to get together to be interesting.

What's more, Tao Ran was originally a child with his own ideas, and Chen Xinchun was not prepared to interfere too much in the matter of him and Li Nan making friends.

"Nan and Fan Fan have gone to the post office, they should be back soon." Chen Xinchun took the table tennis ball out and played with his wife.

He and Li Xia went to Hu Province to do this, and Grandma Hu and Li Nan played this, and they all got used to it, so they rolled around on the cement platform.

Chen Xinchun confessed to Tao Ran, "There are pears in the kitchen, go eat them yourself." ”

Tao Ran nodded, he had no interest in eating pears, and went to the street outside the courtyard to take a look, where his sister was following Li Yang, skipping rope and playing with other friends outside.

My sister is too much, so she can only be a stake for other friends, and she is a stake with someone else's sister.

But my sister looks very high-minded and has a very bright smile.

Tao Ran glanced at it twice, and felt that it was not wrong to come here with his sister.

He also wanted to find something to do, but after going around the courtyard and outside, there was nothing to do.

It is impossible to study, playing with two old people, it will be boring after picking up the ball, Chen Zheng and Chen Jun came back in the middle, saw him alone, and called him to play marbles together.

Tao Ran was a little interested, and deliberately took a few from the box containing marbles in the bookcase as capital.

The marbles were saved by Li Nan, and he was with Tao Ran, and he could take them directly if he wanted to play.

But after following the past, he found that there were five or six-year-old children with runny noses who were playing together, and Tao Ran didn't want to play.

What's the point of playing with a child of a few years old, but in order to save face for Chen Zheng and Chen Jun, he followed and played two games.

After winning ten beads, half of them were lost by a few broken children, they took the winning and left.

After returning home, Tao Ran didn't know what to do for a while, so he felt very lonely.

In fact, when he was in his hometown, he didn't have any friends, and his partners at the time were not counted, and after his mother remarried, everyone had no contact, but he had his own secret base, and he could stay there for a while.

"I knew I wouldn't play with them in the first place." Tao Ran muttered, if he keeps talking a word, he won't feel unaccustomed, and he won't be lost in his heart.

Just thinking about it, Li Nan and Song Fanfan came back with the box, and Li Nan had two more stacks in his arms.

"Tao Ran, come and help." As soon as Li Nan entered the door and saw Tao Ran, he shouted.

"Huh!" Tao Ran didn't know it himself, but when he heard Li Nan calling him, his expression lit up all of a sudden.

He hurriedly ran over and helped move things in, "What's this?" ”

"Model airplane parts." Song Fanfan was a little excited.

Tao Ran was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Is it the kind of model airplane that can fly?" ”

Li Nan shook his head, "It's a nautical model, sailing in the water." ”

That's also fun, Tao Ran also became excited, he had picked up the rags before and picked up what others didn't want, but unfortunately he didn't have the money to buy parts to repair, so he could only keep it and take a look.

This time, he couldn't bring these tattered treasures hidden in the secret base, and he sold them all at once, and he lost everything that couldn't be sold.

Now that I think about it, I can't help it.

After moving the things into the study, Tao Ran stared at Li Nan unpacking the boxes.

The box was opened, and Li Nan first took out the nautical model magazine that his sister had specially ordered for him, and put it aside heartily, reluctant to fold it to half a point.

Then the box contains a complete set of wooden model kits, as well as the necessary tools, and all kinds of spare parts that cannot be named.

Boy, how can anyone not like this, Tao Ran watched Li Nan take out the things, and he wanted to touch them but was embarrassed to touch them.

"My dad can deliver it, and we can go to the park this weekend, right?" Song Fanfan asked with a high chest, he has a lot of ready-made models, all of which were given by his cousin, and he has not tried to assemble them yet.

Li Nan shook his head, "No, we have to get a pool in the courtyard for a sea trial first, otherwise in the lake in the park, it will be troublesome to salvage the model if it is broken." ”

Song Fanfan thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

Tao Ran watched with a blank eye, and when Li Nan saw this, he pushed the magazine towards him, "Let's do it together, and play together when the time comes." ”

"School" nodded heavily.

But Tao Ran didn't expect that Li Nan was not patronizing to play with models.

When I get up in the morning, I have to read and run in the morning to do housework, I study with Song Fanfan in the morning, I have to cook at noon, I have more than two hours in the afternoon to play model airplanes, and the rest of the time I will play games with boys with my friends on the street.

This is the arrangement when Li Nan does not go to the Children's Palace to attend classes, and now that Chen Xinchun is back, and his grandmother is taken care of, Li Nan and Li Yang have resumed the winter vacation class of the Children's Palace, and occasionally they have to go to class.

But whether he goes to class or not, Li Nan's time is well organized and very self-disciplined.

It made Tao Ran want to propose to spend more time assembling the model, but he was a little embarrassed.

At the beginning of the two, as soon as Li Nan and they studied, Tao Ran ran out and continued to do his great business of picking up rags, but after running for two, Tao Ran felt that there was no energy.

He has money in his hands, and he has confidence in his heart, and Li Xia also followed him early in the morning, so he doesn't have to worry about tuition and living expenses, so he can put aside the mess first.

Now Tao Ran's mind is on model aircraft, and if he wants to keep pace with Li Nan, he has to work hard to stabilize his temperament and study together.

Anyway, it's not difficult to hold the book and read it, just turn the pages from time to time.

I don't know if I learned it or not, but he sat there anyway.

What Tao Ran looks forward to the most is that when he plays with the model in the afternoon, he and Li Nan divide and cooperate, assembling, splicing, and polishing the model little by little.

"The hull of the boat should be glued from the side of the string of the ship, I will glue it, and you will fix it for me with a pin......" Li Nan.

"School" Tao Ran quickly picked up the pin in the box.

When Li Xia came back, she saw that the two brothers were getting together, tossing the model airplane she bought for Li Nan.

There is a model aircraft science and technology class in the Children's Palace, and when Li Nan and Li Yang went before, they didn't notice that in the past, where would there be such extracurricular classes in Dawan Village, and the manual classes were all self-study.

I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but later I knew that there was, and after I became interested, the model airplane class was already full, and it was not open for the time being.

Li Nan really likes it, so he often goes to the park with Song Fanfan to watch others play with model airplanes, and after Li Xia found out, he ordered relevant magazines for him, and ordered Li Nan's favorite model sets and parts through the magazine.

The winter vacation was scheduled before the holiday, but now the postal speed is slow, and Li Xia has not yet arrived in Lake Province.

The first is the latest.
