Xiang Yuan read the letter written by his father, but he couldn't get excited at all, he knew that it was impossible for his mother to disobey his father's wishes, and if he had grievances, he could only quietly hide in the corner and wipe his tears.

"Stationmaster Xu, thank you for looking at it and paying such a high price, but it's a pity that our family Xiang Qing didn't agree to sell the land!" Ding Shuxian simply refused, "Fangfang, go to the stove room and choose two loofahs and two eggplants." ”

Xiang Fang's tears flowed out, grabbing Ding Shuxian's arm and not letting go, she didn't understand why her mother didn't agree.

If there is 30,000 yuan in the house, she can straighten her waist at school, and she wants to eat meat, eat sorbet, and wear new clothes for the season.

"Dad has to sit in a room for more than nine years, and he doesn't sell the land, and when he comes back, our family will starve to death." Xiang Fang saw that her mother disagreed with a cold face, so she was so anxious that she cried loudly.

Xiang Yuan thought simply, this old house belongs to his parents, and whether to sell it or not must be decided by adults, not to mention that there may not be no other way, anyway, the land will not fly.

He ran to the stove room and tied a few fresh loofahs and eggplants with plastic ropes, and carried them to Xu Qiulin.

"Uncle Xu, thank you for your kindness, this is what my mother picked in her own land in the morning, take it back and eat it fresh..."Xiang Yuan was very polite.

Xu Qiulin was full of regret and motioned to his daughter to take the loofah and eggplant handed by Xiang Yuan.

It was the etiquette of the first visit, and he should have brought something to the door.

But I didn't expect that the matter of sending charcoal in the snow was not discussed, but it doesn't matter, as long as he has money in his hands, he can always buy a suitable façade, but it is more expensive!

"Wenjun, say goodbye to Auntie..."

The little girl said goodbye politely, she seemed to be dirty, and only carefully pinched the plastic rope that bundled vegetables with her fingertips, and followed Xu Qiulin out of the courtyard gate.

Xiang Fang looked at the back of the Xu family's father and daughter leaving, there was a kind of despair that her hope was completely shattered, Xiang Sanmei rubbed her eyes, and with her long hair like a chicken nest, she came out and asked her sister what she was crying about, which woke her up.

This question was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and Xiang Fang, who was in a daze, rushed back to his room and fell on the bed and cried bitterly. She cried so much that she didn't get up to cook dinner, and she looked bored.

Ding Shuxian was also a little anxious, but she didn't have any good ideas for a while.

The straight-line distance from the old house of the Xiang family to the town high school is only 200 meters, but there is a steep slope that needs to be circled.

Xiang Yuan went to the high school in the small bamboo forest and walked around, and also caught a few weevils that plagued bamboo shoots, which are called bamboo shoot insects in the local language.

The oily carapace is reddish-brown in color, delicious and much tastier than crayfish, but the bamboo shoots belong to the Air Force camp and fly high and fast, so they are more difficult to catch than crayfish.

"Sister got up and ate bamboo shoots, Xiang Erwa just baked, crispy and fragrant, tsk..."

Xiang Yuan was talking to his mother at the head of the stove, and as soon as he heard that Xinjie was going to be connected to the high school on the slope, he had a vague idea, "Mom, did Uncle Yin, who opened an optical store, come to ask for debts?" ”

Ding Shuxian sighed, "I don't know when he will come, the debt will be due in more than a year, so if it doesn't work, my mother will go back to Chongqing to borrow money from your grandfather and uncle." ”

Not only did she not help her mother's family for so many years, but she had to go back to borrow money, and she remembered that her heart was like a blunt knife cutting meat, and she felt guilty that life was worse than death.

"We've never been back to my grandfather's house, how embarrassed to borrow money, Mom, I have an idea..."Xiang Yuan touched his nose, "As long as Uncle Yin wants to do high school business, we can contract the façade land to him!" ”

Xiaohe Town High School is regarded as the second high school in Yuchen County, so many people also directly call it the second middle school, and the admission rate is only slightly lower than that of the county No. 1 middle school.

With three grades and repeater classes, there are thousands of students, and it has a pivotal position in Xiaohe Town.

In this era, most of the people who can go to high school, regardless of men and women, are glasses, and if Yin Glasses wants to expand his business, he will definitely not let go of the façade of the second middle school.

Xiang Yuan's words were full of confidence, "Call Uncle Yin to be responsible for paying for the façade repair, and then pay off Zhong Turtle's debts, and the façade will be free for him for a few years, five years should be almost enough..."

Ding Shuxian thought about it carefully and showed a rare smile, as long as the debt can be paid off, it doesn't matter whether the rent is worth five years or ten years, anyway, the façade land can't be moved, and I'm not afraid that Xiang Qing will get angry when he comes back.

"If you want to have a second baby, you and your mother will go out to find Uncle Yin together!" She was anxious, and took Xiang Yuan to the sugar market street, climbed a small slope and turned right for 300 meters, and walked through the old street made of bluestone slabs, which was the storefront of Yin glasses.

Because of the summer vacation of junior high school, the store closes early, and the family lives in a bungalow next to the optical store, with a half-wall creeper on the roof, which looks cool and quiet.

There were a few aunts who were enjoying the cool at the door who were very enthusiastic, and before Ding Shuxian could speak, they had already called out Yin Glasses, who was about to eat.

They all knew Ding Shuxian and knew about the dispute between Zhong Changchang and the Xiang family not long ago.

Yin glasses is tall and thin, white and clean, like a teacher, although he only has a high school degree, but his face is full of bookishness, which is obviously different from the peasant.

"Hello Uncle Yin, I'm Xiang Erwa." Xiang Yuan had a great impression of Yin Glasses, so he rushed to him for not coming to the door to force debts, which was much better than Zhong Turtle.

Yin Mingcheng helped down his glasses, he thanked a few neighbor aunts first, greeted Ding Shuxian with a smile, and pulled Xiang Yuan to invite home.

When I entered the door, I smelled the fragrance first, and it turned out that a large plate of garlic sprouts and meat was placed on the table, and a tomato and egg soup was cooked, and there was a miniature version of Yin Glasses who was eating it, and he looked about the same age as Xiang Yuan.

A round-faced woman walked out of the kitchen, holding a plate of fried pumpkin shreds, and warmly beckoned Ding Shuxian and Xiang Yuan to sit down and eat together.

Ding Shuxian glanced at his son and saw that he didn't show any rudeness, so he breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head to refuse... How can uninvited guests be embarrassed to eat, not to mention that other people's houses still eat so well.

Xiang Yuan knew that his mother was a little restrained, he smiled and deflated his mouth, making a funny appearance: "I knew that Uncle Yin had a tooth sacrifice at home today, so I came over to rub back the pot meat and eat it, but unfortunately I was too full at the house just now." ”

Yin Mingcheng's wife was amused by his remorseful look, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and the little glasses also stopped their chopsticks to look at Xiang Yuan.

Yin Mingcheng happily introduced, "Xiang Erwa, this is our family Yin Jianhui, and there are still a few days left to study in the first grade of junior high school." ”

Xiang Yuan greeted with a smile, "Hello Yin Jianhui, my name is Xiang Yuan, you can call me Xiang Erwa." ”

Yin Mingcheng is extremely satisfied with his son, he doesn't look like him, his grades are good, no matter how bad he is in the primary school exam, he is in the top three, and he is very angry.
