Chapter 5 We Earn Our Own Money to Go to School
Xu Shaozhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe his eyes, and hurriedly pushed the kettle back: "Xiaomin, drink it, my mother is not thirsty." ”
How could you not be thirsty on this hot day, sweat flowed down her cheeks, the bud valley forest was unbearably hot, my mother was just worried that she wouldn't drink it if she drank it, Qin Min insisted on letting her drink it, Xu Shaozhi couldn't refuse, and said: "Xiaomin, you drink it first, you drink it for Han Song, and my mother drinks it last." ”
Han Song said with a smile on the side: "Aunt Qin, I already drank it when I fetched water just now, you and Qin Min can just drink it." ”
Hearing Han Song say this, Xu Shaozhi didn't care about him, and asked Qin Min to drink quickly: "Xiaomin, drink quickly, if your mother drinks it and gets dirty, you won't taste good." ”
This remark made Qin Min want to cry a little, what a bastard he was in his previous life, why did he let his mother have such thoughts, it is natural for him to drink his mother, and his mother will get dirty if he drinks it!
"Mother, if you don't drink it first, then I won't drink it!"
Qin Min said categorically to Xu Shaozhi, Xu Shaozhi reluctantly raised the kettle high and poured it down with his wide open mouth, and drank it in time, the water flowed down from the corner of her mouth, her hand shook and she was choked and coughed, Qin Min patted her back to calm her.
After taking two sips casually, Xu Shaozhi refused to drink it and asked Qin Min to drink it quickly, Qin Min did not shirk and took the kettle to learn Xu Shaozhi's movements and poured the water into his mouth, the sweet mountain spring water relieved her throat that was about to smoke, and she continued to work after drinking the water, which made Xu Shaozhi feel a little heartbroken, this child was simply working hard.
"Xiaomin, it's almost noon, you go home and cook first, and Han Song and I will go back to eat after a while."
It's not so hot to cook at home, but Qin Min refused in one bite: "Mother, the food I cook is not delicious, you should go back to cook, Han Song will help our family work, you can cook something delicious." ”
Xu Shaozhi thought that since they were already engaged, it was not impossible to let them get along and cultivate their feelings, so she told them to go home for dinner after half an hour, Qin Min agreed, and Han Song kept burying his head and kept pulling the grass without even raising his head.
Qin Min originally wanted to talk to Han Song about reading after his mother left, but Han Song treated her as if she was a flood beast, and quickly pulled the grass and went forward, so that Qin Min had to roar if he wanted to talk to him.
"Han Song, you wait for me, I have something to tell you."
Qin Min raised his voice and yelled at Han Song, Han Song ran back a little awkwardly and squatted beside her to help her pull the grass, his black and red face was about to hang down to the edge of the soil, and a pair of tanned black and red molting arms kept shaking in front of Qin Min's eyes.
"Han Song, what did you think about what I said about the two of us going to study together?"
Qin Min asked Han Song straight to the point, and Han Song hesitated: "Qin Min, it's better for you to go to study alone, this high school can only go to the county and city to study, and the living expenses are much better a week, and our two families can't afford it at all now." ”
"Han Song, the family can't afford it, we can earn money to study, we don't have to pay for our living expenses and tuition, we earn our own money!"
Qin Min said very seriously, it is the summer vacation, this mountain is full of mushrooms, they can go up the mountain every morning to pick up mushrooms, Qin Min remembers very clearly, when she was a sophomore in high school, there were Japanese businessmen who came to look at the purchase of porcini mushrooms and pheasant fir (matsutake mushrooms), the price was surprisingly high, and now no one buys it, do you want people in the city to buy some to try it, the price is very low.
Everyone basically doesn't go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms, they are everywhere, they go to pick up some every day, and they can cut them into dry slices and dry them, and then they can make a small profit next year, and then the tuition and living expenses will be solved.
Han Song didn't know what would happen next year, and when he Qin Min said that he would pick up mushrooms and sell them, he smiled bitterly: "Xiaomin, it's better for me to go to the construction site to work and sell them, and I can earn five yuan a day when I do it." ”
When Qin Min heard him say that he was going to work on the construction site, her face changed, Chen Tianyu and her lust for profit made Han Song have an accident on the construction site, and her left foot was crippled, how could she never let Han Song go to the construction site to work in her life!
"Han Song, I saw in the newspaper that day that there are some places outside that need dried slices of porcini mushrooms, and now no one has come to our places to collect them, so we will pick them up and cut them into dried slices to dry, and when someone comes to collect them, we will have money."
Qin Min's words made Han Song half-convinced, but he knew that Qin Min liked to read books and newspapers, since Qin Min said so, then he also believed it, he immediately said that he would go to the mountain to pick up mushrooms before dawn the next morning, Qin Min asked him to call himself when he left, he refused at first, and saw that Qin Min was angry, so he agreed, and the two said so.
Han Song worked very quickly, with his help, Qin Min was in charge of the bud valley and quickly finished pulling the grass, she estimated the time and called Han Song to go back to eat, the two of them walked to the village one after the other, it was noon, the people working in the field went back to rest at noon, there was a big yellow horn tree in the center of the village, there were some big stones under the tree, and the people in the village loved to rest here.
Watching the two of them walk one after the other, the people who were resting under the tree began to make jokes about them.
"Han Song, are you going to work for your daughter-in-law?"
"Qin Min, can't you be sorry for Han Song if you are admitted to university in the future, you see that he will start to be a cow and a horse for your family now."
"Han Song, come here, let my brother teach you a trick, and promise that your daughter-in-law will not dare to dump you in the future."
"Han Song ......"
The words became more and more unpleasant, Han Song's face turned red and he wanted to rush over to reason with these people, Qin Min glanced back at him: "Don't be impulsive, let them go, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower will see people's hearts over time, and one day they will slap themselves in the face." ”
Qin Min's words made Han Song calm down all of a sudden, and he wanted to walk quickly under the big yellow horn tree, but Qin Min raised his head without fear and smiled to greet the people who were resting under the big tree one by one.
"Uncle Tang, you are resting here."
"Brother Yang, you're done with your work."
"Auntie, have you eaten?"
Warm and polite, so that the people under the tree who wanted to say that she was not good were a little sneering, and when they responded to her, they asked her to go back to eat quickly, and some people sympathized with her, and a student went up the mountain to work and his face was red.
Everyone thinks that this Qin family's daughter is like a different person, in the past, when she saw the people in the village, most of the time she lowered her head and left as if she didn't see it, and only Chen Tianyu's parents in this village could get some respect from her.
