Chapter 104 Internal and External Troubles
A week later, on August 24th. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qiu Jiawei was very abnormal today, and he came to my house in the morning.
It's just that he is dressed like he is going to a concert today, wearing a pair of sunglasses, his hair is standing up one by one, and his whole head is shiny and shiny from the gel, as if he has been licked by a dog.
There was half a bottle of perfume sprayed on his body, and he could smell it from dozens of meters away.
When he entered the door, he choked the big black dog several times......
Worried about the big black dog's body, I quickly asked Qiu Jiawei about his intentions.
Sure enough, I saw this guy reply to me with an obscene face: "I have something to do tonight, so I won't come to dinner, I'll give you a few packets of instant noodles." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Jiawei threw down the instant noodles and ran away.
I know this kid must be doing bad things again tonight.
At noon, the village electrician came to my house and informed me that the village had started to change the electricity meter, and each household had to pay 190 yuan for the meter.
I was a little anxious when I heard him say this, don't say it's 190 now, I don't have a dollar on me.
At that moment, I hurriedly inquired, and it turned out that I could only get a new meter after going to the village committee to pay the money, and then the power company would install it in the afternoon.
"What if you can't pay the money?" I asked the electrician with some naivety.
The electrician glanced at me when he heard this: "If you can't pay the money, you won't have to change the meter, so there will be no electricity." ”
As soon as I heard him say this, I didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the third uncle's house.
At that time, I thought very clearly in my heart, I had done a summer job for my third uncle, and the 190 yuan should be good.
When I arrived at his house, I learned that the third uncle had gone to Hebei to deliver mink, and he would not be able to come back until two days later.
When I saw that the third uncle was not at home, I was a little cowardly, no matter how I said that the third uncle was also my father's brother, and he was considered his own family, but the third aunt was ......
But now that the situation is urgent, I really can't wait for the third uncle to come back.
In desperation, I had to tell the third aunt about this.
After knowing my intention, the third aunt didn't say anything else, and directly took out a piece of Grandpa Mao from her wallet and handed it to me.
"Auntie, it's one hundred and ninety yuan......" After taking the money, I reminded the third aunt a little timidly.
We are reaching out to ask for money, and we naturally have no confidence in speaking, and we can't even straighten our waists in front of others.
But the third aunt's next words directly made me stand on the spot, and I was at a loss for a while.
"I know, you see that I usually take the money for your school and dinner at home, or this time I will ask your second uncle for the ninety yuan......"
After the third aunt finished speaking, she turned around and went to work, I stayed there alone and stood there for a while, knowing that there was no result if I stayed, so I hurriedly ran to find the second uncle.
Against the hottest midday sun, I walked for 40 minutes to my second uncle's house.
The second uncle and the second aunt were quite surprised by my arrival, because I had been helping at the third uncle's house this summer, and I didn't have time to visit them.
In fact, I still have a little confidence to open my mouth to the third uncle, but in front of the second uncle, I feel a little embarrassed to even face him now.
After all, he and the third uncle are the same, and occasionally they will help me and my grandmother live.
But I only helped my third uncle do a summer job, and I never even came.
I didn't open my mouth for a long time, so I dragged it on until more than two o'clock, thinking that I wouldn't get any more money, I was afraid that my grandmother and I would be in the dark tonight.
Thinking of this, I finally mustered up the courage to tell him all the words that the village collected electricity meters, and the third aunt only gave 100 yuan, and the remaining 90 yuan for the second uncle to take.
After the second uncle listened to my words, his face became quite ugly, and the second aunt on the side was also silent.
Looking at their facial expressions, I knew it was over.
Sure enough, after being silent for a long time, the second uncle opened his mouth leisurely: "Big nephew, your uncle is not short of this 90 yuan, the main thing is that he is not like this, you said that you helped your uncle do a summer vacation work, how much does it cost 190 yuan!" ”
When the second uncle said this, the second aunt on the side also opened her mouth and echoed: "Little Hehe, what your second uncle said is right, we can't give out this money, you have to ask your third uncle to ......."
I didn't listen to the rest of the story.
When I was a child, every time I had an argument with my friends, my mother would always teach me, "When you encounter something, you should also think about it from the perspective of others, and if you replace him in this matter, you will do the same, and you should not blame that person." ”
This way of being a man still deeply affects me to this day ...
Yes, the second uncle's words make sense, isn't it?
Thinking about it from another perspective, it is not entirely unreasonable that the second uncle is not willing to pay.
But what should I do?
It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero......
I walked out of my second uncle's house in a daze, looking at the sky, I was very confused and hesitant......
The world is big, but there is no way out for me......
When I got home, when my grandmother came back, she saw that there was electricity in the village, but there was no electricity in her own house, so she asked me a little puzzled: "Didn't you care about your second uncle asking for money?" ”
I was anxious and told my grandmother everything that happened at my second uncle's house in the afternoon, hoping that she would not be angry.
Grandma sighed and didn't say anything after hearing this, but it could be seen that she was in a very bad mood, and she sulked and drank two bowls of white wine during her meal.
After eating, my grandmother said to me, "Go to the next neighbor's house and watch TV for a while." And he took the maza and went out.
Looking at my grandmother who walked out the door, I felt very useless and sorry for my grandmother at that moment......
Unexpectedly, grandma even watched TV, and had to go to someone else's house.
Soon it was completely dark, and at about half past eight in the evening, because the neighbors were going to sleep, and the grandmother could no longer disturb them, so she returned.
But the house was still dark, and she sighed and went to the kang to rest.
It was the height of summer, the heat was unbearable, and even blowing an electric fan became a luxury for us without electricity.
The Shandong Peninsula in 08 coincided with the hottest summer in recent years.
Not long after lying down, my grandmother couldn't stand the heat, and when she walked to the courtyard to cool off, she began to complain.
"Little Crane!"
Suddenly, my grandmother, who was in the yard, called me out loud.
I thought something had happened to her, so I was so scared that I ran out barefoot without even putting on my shoes.
Then in the faint moonlight, I saw my grandmother in the courtyard slapping her legs with a fan, apparently bitten by mosquitoes.
Seeing that she was fine, I was relieved......
"You, tell me, how to get this after there is no electricity?"
Grandma asked me a little slurred, and it seemed that the wine was coming up.
"I ......"
I was speechless for a while, I didn't know how to answer, and now I'm really confused.
Seeing that I didn't speak, my grandmother continued to ask, "What do you think?" Do you want this home to be so dark all the time? ”
