Chapter Twenty-Six: Money
There is a big supermarket in front of the school, and students don't often go home, so they can buy something here on weekends. Because it is close to the school and the size of the supermarket is not small, it can basically meet the daily needs of students.
A little further south, you can clearly feel that the road will be narrower, and the buildings next to the road will be closer to the rural style. Continuing south, the roadside buildings are gone, replaced by a large expanse of farmland.
There were still a few peasants in the fields who were working hard with their backs to the sun, they had been working for a day, and they didn't even have time to rest, and the sweat on their faces quickly slipped down and fell on the ground in front of them, disappearing completely.
This group of people are all here to help, their own land is almost completed, this land belongs to the same village, here to help pay the wages, anyway, at home is idle, it is better to come to earn some extra money.
Rural people are the most idle, and they don't like to be idle.
There was a middle-aged man who looked like he should be forty or fifty years old, working the hardest, the white vest on his body had already been soaked with sweat, there were a few bloodshots in his eyes, every time he got up and bent over, he was staggering, and the people on the side looked very worried.
He hadn't slept all night, and last night by the bright moonlight, he had finished all the farm work in his field overnight, and only today did he have time to work here.
He didn't get a good rest last night, which made his head a little dizzy, and the farmland in his eyes sometimes swirled. He would pause for a moment, hold on to his farming tools or crouch down on the spot for a while.
I was really tired, so I walked to the ridge at the edge of the field and drank saliva to slow down.
Because he didn't work for a while and had to take a break, his progress was the slowest.
Here is money according to the progress of completion, everyone draws indicators, and you can get the corresponding reward for completing the task.
He gets the most workload, and he is not lazy, but due to physical reasons, he is really powerless and powerless.
From time to time, the overseer of the field came to urge him, and he lowered his head, listened to the insults, and then continued to bow his head and waved the farm tools in his hand with difficulty, but the number of breaks became less.
By evening, he had finally completed the day's task. Although he was the last to finish, he was very happy, and the hundred-dollar bill tightly clutched in his hand made his face shine with a smile, although it still couldn't hide his red eyes, but the hundred yuan was enough for his own children for two days.
It's been a whole day and a night without sleep......
When he got home, it was already dark, and there were no street lights on the country road, so he moved forward in the light of the moon. When I got home, the lights weren't turned off, but the door was closed.
He walked over to the door and knocked lightly. A familiar voice came from inside.
"Who?"
"It's me." He opened his mouth, but his voice was so hoarse that he himself was a little unfamiliar, "I'm Lao Yu, I'm back." ”
After a while, the door was opened, and Lao Yu still held the day's salary in his hand, and put it on the table behind the door, and he was also slumped in the chair.
"How much is it today?" The woman who opened the door for him picked up the red bill on the table, "A hundred dollars?" I gave a lot of eh today. ”
Lao Yu smiled bitterly, "Ahem, I took the three acres of land of the Wang family today, worked for a day, and finally gave a hundred." cough cough cough ......" As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Yu coughed violently again.
The woman hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back and help him slow down, her eyes were full of distress, "Look at you, Lao Yu, you really want money and don't want to die, you didn't sleep last night, and you still have a day of work today, don't you want to live?" ”
Lao Yu's cough was not as rapid as just now, and seeing that his wife was angry, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Alas, it's not for Xiaoyu, this guy goes to school well, and it's worth it for me to be tired." ”
The woman sighed, "Alas, then you also have to pay attention to your body, the body is the capital, if you fall, this home will be gone......" Speaking of sadness, the woman covered her face and cried there.
Lao Yu got up and hugged her, "Okay, aren't I still there?" It's all right! ”
But she was immediately pushed away again, the woman blushed, and said to Lao Yu shyly: "I'm old, and I'm still playing here!" ”
Lao Yu laughed, "Who said you can't be romantic when you're old?" Don't worry about me, I'm measured. It's you, who usually pay more attention to your body, and you have lost a lot of weight in recent days. ”
"It's good to look good if you're thin...... the woman pursed her lips and whispered to Lao Yu, "By the way, Xiao Yu called today and said that the school was going to set the test paper and pay the test paper fee of one hundred and fifteen." It also allows you to rest more and pay attention to your body. ”
Lao Yu smiled happily, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes came out, "This kid actually knows that he cares about me!" I'm blind even if I die! ”
"What are you talking about!" The woman hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth, "I won't tell you any more nonsense." ”
Lao Yu had no choice but to compensate her, "Okay, okay, my wife, I won't talk about it in the future." Lao Yu put away the smile on his face, "Today's one hundred is enough, and the one hundred that I did the day before yesterday, bring them to Xiao Yu, let him eat more at school, study hurts his brain, and make up for more." ”
The woman gave him a blank look, "You have to make up for it too!" With that, he took the hundred dollars and walked into the bedroom in the back room.
First, he took out the hundred yuan he earned a few days ago from under his pillow, looked at it for a long time, put the two bills in a relatively large piece of toilet paper, carefully wrapped them, and placed them under the quilt. Before walking out of the bedroom, I was not at ease, so I took it out and fumbled in my hand for a long time before putting it back under it.
Lao Yu stood at the door in a daze, choking on the inferior cigarette in his mouth, Lao Yu stepped on it, and the door slammed and closed.
The moon never sleeps, guiding people on the way in the middle of the night where there are no street lights.
In the town's junior high school, two thin figures deftly escaped from the dormitory and deftly climbed over the school's outer walls.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, did you tell your father?"
The figure walking in front looked back, "Don't worry, I called my mother, she works in the town's textile factory, and she will bring me money tomorrow." ”
Xiaoyu's friend was a little surprised, "It's so powerful, what did you say?" ”
"Haha, I lied to them that the school was going to buy test papers, and the test paper fee was one hundred and fifteen."
"If you really have you, you need an extra hundred, and then you will be invited to dinner!"
"Don't worry, yours are indispensable!"
"But did you write the test paper that the teacher sent today?" Xiaoyu's friend is a little worried about tomorrow's inspection, and he hasn't moved a word, once he draws his own tomorrow, it will be a dead end.
Xiao Yu, who was walking in front, was also stunned when he heard this, he only thought about how to ask his family for money, and forgot about everything else.
"I ...... I seem to have forgotten it, and I haven't written a word......"
"I ...... Me too......"
The two looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter together.
"It's okay, it's the third year of junior high school anyway, they can't control us, and we'll say goodbye when the high school entrance examination is over after a while!"
"That's right!"
The two laughed again, talking and laughing, and came to the destination where they had sneaked out.
It is a newly opened Internet café, which is very well disguised on the outside, and at first glance it is just an ordinary residential building, but once you go to the second floor, it is a different world.
The news about the Internet café was discovered by a friend of Xiaoyu's classmate by chance, so he thought about taking advantage of the vacation some time ago to take Xiaoyu to see the world, but he didn't expect that the two of them would be addicted, and they couldn't bear the addiction at night, and they had to run out of violation of school rules. Once this is discovered, the two will definitely be severely punished, and may even be expelled!
But in the eyes of the two, it is clear that the game is more important than everything.
The school has suppressed the surrounding Internet cafes very much, and it is not easy to run an Internet café here, so the consumption here is also a little high, and Xiaoyu does not have much savings in his hand, just in time for the school to charge fifty yuan for the test paper, and he directly asked for one hundred and fifteen without doing anything, anyway, they didn't know anything, so they agreed.
Xiao Yu and his classmates played until three o'clock in the morning the next day, and then reluctantly left here.
Skillfully climb over the school walls and sneak back to the dormitory. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a groggy sleep.
The next day, I was still late......
The others in the dormitory did call them when they left, but at that time, the two chose to squint for a while in order to covet those few minutes...... Then, I overslept.
When the two frantically rushed to the classroom, the class was in progress, and it happened to be math class.
First of all, it was a harsh criticism, and ideological education was carried out for a long time. Then Lao Bai stretched out his hand.
"Yu Wenxiao, take out the test paper I sent yesterday and check it."
The two had a good time last night, and they fell asleep when they returned to the dormitory, and they didn't have time to make up for their homework, so Yu Wenxiao naturally couldn't take it out.
The corridor is facing the farmland to the south, and the scenery is also quite nice when you look at it from a high place.
The classmate sitting next to the window squinted at Yu Wenxiao and smiled, his eyes were full of pride, like he was laughing at Yu Wenxiao.
"Haha, I'm lucky, the teacher didn't catch me, hahaha, you're so miserable!"
Yu Wenxiao glanced at him and waved his fist at him.
The difficult math class finally passed, and before he could rest for a while, Lao Bai turned back and told Xiaoyu that his mother was here.
Yu Wenxiao leaned on the guardrail in front of the class and looked hard towards the school gate.
There, a middle-aged woman was wearing the characteristic blue overalls of a textile factory not far from here, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand, which looked like a basket.
He ran quickly to the school gate, and the woman saw him coming and handed him the basket in her hand.
He took the basket through the iron door of the school and listened to his mother chattering outside.
"Xiaoyu, I put the money you want at the bottom of the basket, you study hard, take care of your body, your father brought you an extra fifty, don't pick when you buy things by yourself, eat when you should eat, and study hard! There are also some cakes sold in the town in the basket, and I have bought some for you, so you can eat some when you are tired of studying......"
Yu Wenxiao waved his hand and interrupted his mother, who was still nagging, "Mom, I have to go to class later, you can go back." ”
The woman sighed deeply, "Okay, then you go to class, Mom will go first, you study hard." With that, he turned and left.
Back in the classroom, the classmate who went out with him last night came up again, "Got the money?" ”
"Uh-huh." Yu Wenxiao put the basket under his desk and nodded.
"Then ...... tonight," the classmate smiled strangely at Yu Wenxiao.
"Of course it continues......" The two looked at each other and smiled.
The sun was high in the sky outside the classroom, and it was another hot day today.
