Chapter 264: Flickering Pearls
Xie Xiaonian hadn't eaten the pancakes for more than two months, and the food was completely made of space ingredients and space water, and he had already been hungry.
"Yes, when you go to bed at night, your mother will make it for you!" Xie Xiaonian knew what the pancakes meant, and thought that it would be okay to eat them once in a while, so he agreed.
"Pull the hook!"
"Okay, pull the hook, the hook will not change for a hundred years, stamp!" Xie Xiaonian cooperated.
Seeing that the pancakes had returned to their previous appearance, Xie Xiaonian secretly exhaled, the older this child is, the more he has ideas, and the more difficult it is to coax!
The next day, after Xie Xiaonian had breakfast, he discussed with the pancakes for a long time, and after he agreed, he went to Xie Zhuang with a pound of walnut cake.
I had already been to my uncle's house yesterday, and if I didn't go back to my parents' house today, I couldn't say anything, so she also went to see Pearl and the third grandmother.
"How did you get back? What about Dabao! Wu Lihua opened the door and saw Xie Xiaonian standing at the door and said suspiciously.
Then he picked Xie Xiaonian away and stretched out his head to look behind her, hoping to find Dabao's figure.
"Don't look at it, Dabao has no holiday and hasn't come back!" Because Xie Xiaonian did not write a letter in advance to tell the Xie family about her return, she was not surprised by Wu Lihua's surprise.
"Are you at home?" Xie Xiaonian saw that there was no one in the room, and after putting the walnut cake on the table, he asked.
"Your dad went out to play, Xiao Nian, I didn't say you, you haven't come back for more than a year, and you even took the cake to your mother's house, why did you take out your hand, don't you feel ashamed, I blush for you!" Wu Lihua said disgustedly.
"What did Li Zhi bring for you?" Xie Xiaonian didn't give Wu Lihua any good look, and replied directly.
"Huh?" Wu Lihua didn't react to Xie Xiaonian's words for a while, and after reacting, she immediately said loudly: "Her family is not as rich as your family, what are you comparing to her, hurry up, hurry up, there is no food at home to take care of your food!" ”
"I wasn't going to eat at your place in the first place!" After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, he left without looking back.
After Xie Xiaonian went out, he first went to the third grandmother's house closest to the Xie family, but the third grandmother may have gone to work, so Xie Xiaonian pounced, and finally had to go around again and go to the pearl's house.
"Xiao Nian, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you, come into the house, come into the house!" Li Pearl saw Xie Xiaonian and excitedly pulled Xie Xiaonian and didn't let go!
After Xie Xiaonian handed over the bicycle to Liu Yifan, he also took Pearl's hand and said happily: "I've always wanted to see you!" ”
"Is it necessary to be so excited? When I came, I didn't see you so happy! Just when Xie Xiaonian and Li Pearl were excitedly preparing for an exchange, they heard Chen Xiuhong's voice.
"You are so unpleasant, can you compare with Xiao Nian, and I didn't let you come!" Li Pearl really didn't deal with her second sister-in-law, so after listening to Chen Xiuhong's words, she said mercilessly.
"You, who rarely comes, if it weren't for your second brother, I wouldn't have come to this poor ravine on the day you got married!" Chen Xiuhong shouted with a stiff neck.
"Then you go, no one will stop you!" Li Pearl said politely.
"Okay, it's all a family, what are you arguing about! Sister-in-law Xiuhong, go back to the house, I'll talk to Pearl! Xie Xiaonian dissuaded.
"You can't let me be here for what you're talking about, don't you want to say bad things about me!" Chen Xiuhong said suspiciously.
"Who wants to say bad things about you, Xiao Nian and I finally met, such a precious time will not be wasted on you!" Li Pearl replied disdainfully.
"Okay, okay, why are you pinching it up again. Since you want to be here, then be here, but don't interject, you don't doubt us. Xie Xiaonian said helplessly.
However, where can Chen Xiuhong be a person who can't help but not interject, so when Xie Xiaonian and Pearl talk next, they can hear Chen Xiuhong's various inappropriate interjections.
But fortunately, Xie Xiaonian and Li Pearl also knew Chen Xiuhong better, and they slowly became immune, and the two of them never answered her, and she gradually said less.
When it was almost noon, Xie Xiaonian and Pearl went into the kitchen to cook, and Chen Xiuhong didn't go forward because she couldn't cook, so she went back to the house directly.
"Finally gone, don't look at her for only two days, I'm almost annoyed with her." Li Pearl said angrily while brushing the pot.
"She just has a bad mouth, there is nothing wrong with it, and she is here to help you after all, for the sake of your second brother's face, you better bear with it!" Xie Xiaonian persuaded.
"I just put up with her, or with her cheap mouth and picky appearance, I would have driven her away! You don't know, when she came back the day before yesterday, she picked on the house, and she was not satisfied with anything. I also said that the food at home is poor, and I almost didn't kill the old hen in the chicken pen yesterday, if I hadn't found it in time, the chickens in the house would have been received by the old hen! Li Pearl was angry when she talked about her second sister-in-law.
"And this?" Xie Xiaonian asked funny.
"That's not bad, she is used to being too ruthless by her family, if she is allowed to go to the countryside for a few years, she can eat anything, and she will not dislike anything!" Li Pearl pouted and said.
"By the way, Xiao Nian, you can go shopping in the county with us tomorrow, you are married, and you know what to buy, I have no experience. And you can also pull me and my second sister-in-law, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fight with her on the street! Li Pearl continued.
"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have anything to do, but I also know what the woman needs to buy, I really don't know about the man, wait for me to go back in the afternoon, ask my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, give you a list, we will buy it tomorrow!"
"That's great, I'm still worried that I'll buy less!" Pearl said happily.
"How are you doing now, are you okay in the village?" Xie Xiaonian asked with concern.
"Very good, I'm used to it, and I won't be lazy when I work with Yifan, and the people in the village are still very good to us. The captain also said that after I get married to Yifan, I can still sell us a homestead cheaply, maybe the location will be a little off! ”
"It's a little bit of a point, it's more convenient than now, and it can be more spacious! When the time comes, you can go up the mountain and get something to eat, and it's convenient to take home, isn't it? ”
"I think so too, now there are more people going up the mountain, let's go up the mountain to sneak something, it's not easy to put it in the cave, if we bring it back, we are so close to Li Zhi Li, we can see everything as soon as we climb over the wall, and it's not safe." So Yifan and I thought that when we got married, we could save as much as we could, save some money in the future, buy a piece of land and build a few houses, so that we can be regarded as completely rooted here. Li Pearl said approvingly.
"It's also good to plan like this, if you don't have enough money at that time, write to me, and I'll lend you some first!" Xie Xiaonian continued.
"No, when we got married, Yifan's parents couldn't come over, so I sent 200 yuan, and we still have some savings, and when the time comes, my parents, brother and sister-in-law will give some more, it should be about the same."
"Well, that's fine. But don't patronize your work here, when appropriate, read some books, you two are both high school graduates, if the college entrance examination resumes when, you may be able to go back to the city! Xie Xiaonian whispered to Pearl.
"What!" Pearl listened to Xie Xiaonian's words, the spatula in his hand fell off, and shouted in surprise.
"Shhh Xie Xiaonian was so surprised to see the pearl, and quickly covered her mouth and said.
"Pearl, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yifan heard Pearl's shout, and hurriedly ran over to ask.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can chop wood quickly, when you hold a banquet, you still need to use it, don't worry about us!" Pearl also came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly drove Liu Yifan away, delaying her to ask Xiao Nian for details.
"Really? Xiao Nian, do you really want to resume the college entrance examination? After Liu Yifan left, Pearl hurried to Xiao Nian and asked.
"I don't know, I just heard a little rumor, but you think, now that educated people are slowly getting old, if you don't cultivate talents, how can the country move forward, don't you say?" Xie Xiaonian replied in a low voice.
"How long will it take, it's not too late to learn now, I've been throwing away my books for a long time, and I don't have high school books!" Li Pearl asked nervously.
"Of course it's not too late, as long as you study hard, it's never too late! If you don't have a book, I'll bring you my high school textbook another day, and you can review it with Yifan when you have time, and it should be restored in 4 or 5 years at most. Now that the state has quietly begun to slowly recall those who have been suppressed to engage in translation, scientific research and other work, education work will return to normal sooner or later. But I also overheard a military sister-in-law in the compound say, don't say it, don't say it to Liu Yifan, you just let him take the time to study together, don't say anything, he has younger brothers and sisters, he will definitely want to tell them, if it spreads, we will be a rumor, and this will go to jail. Xie Xiaonian said cautiously, although she was fooling the pearl, but now she had to do it.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't say it."
"Hurry up and turn over the dishes, it's going to be mushy!" Xie Xiaonian reminded loudly.
Li Pearl listened to Xie Xiaonian's words, and after flipping through it casually twice, she continued to ask: "How old will I be in another 4 or 5 years, and I am not a high school student, can I take the exam?" ”
"You should be able to take the test, you think, there are only a few fresh graduates, how can it meet the country's talent needs, you, just study hard first, and then talk about it when the time comes, anyway, even if it doesn't recover, it's always right for you to learn more knowledge."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But I can't ask for your textbooks, and you're also a high school student, so you need to review them, so I'll send a telegram to my mother tomorrow and ask her to bring all my books when she comes, saying that I'm going to kill time when I'm going to spend time on the farm. Li Pearl decided. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
