Chapter 12: Big Sister
Hearing her grandson's cry, Li Cuilian felt as if she had touched the electric door. I don't know where I was just now, so I rushed into the house all of a sudden. Holding the crying grandson: "What's wrong with the eldest grandson?
"His mom told him to go to school, and it scared me out of tears. Kou Xi knew the reason why Huo Tianyi was reluctant to go to school, because he had not been taught basic things by the elders in the family at home. Li Cuilian doesn't understand pinyin, addition and subtraction, and Gao Liman doesn't understand either. I did my homework wrong in kindergarten, no one took care of me when I returned home, I was reprimanded by the teacher for going to school during the day, and I didn't want to go over time.
"Oh, what a big deal. Li Cuilian disagreed: "What's there to be afraid of going to school? ”
Gao Liman stepped forward and explained: "He is afraid that he will not be able to get into college. ”
"This little Gaya knows what to do with college, it's all said by you people, it scared my eldest grandson. Li Cuilian glanced at Kou Xi and hugged Huo Tianyi: "Your uncle has never been to school, so you can be a soldier like him in the future." ”
Li Cuilian walked out of the house with Huo Tianyi in her arms, turned around and entered the kitchen, walked around the kitchen and didn't see Kou Xi take anything from the house. I looked through the cupboard and saw that there were noodle bags and rice bags inside. couldn't help pouting: "Burning panic!"
Huo Tianyi came out of Kou Xi's room and cried all the time, his face was covered with snot and tears. Li Cuilian was anxious like something, Huo Dagui felt sorry for his grandson, and couldn't help but go to the cabinet and open a bottle of canned food. Only then did Huo Tianyi coax him, and he smiled while holding the canned food.
There were no days off when I was working in materials, and the two of them negotiated with each other to take turns off. It's a holiday these days, and Zhou Hong and Kou Xi are so tired that they don't even have the time to drink saliva. The two discussed and waited for the festival, and one of them rested for two days to take a good break.
"The canned food sold the best in the past two days, and the few cans left were all sold out. Zhou Hong hammered his sore and swollen legs, leaned against the wall and complained: "I don't know why there are so many rich people, and the canned food is like not having money." ”
Kou Xi handed her a cup of hot water and said curiously: "By the time the Chinese New Year comes, there must be more people." ”
"It's not, when I enter Layue, I hit the back of my head with my busy foot every day. Fortunately, we have a five-day holiday for the New Year, otherwise we would be tired to death!" Zhou Hong drank a few sips of hot water, and his body was finally much more comfortable.
"Then we have sold out these goods, is it a unified procurement or?" Kou Xi always thought that this unit was the same as his father back then, and the purchaser agreed to the purchase of Shannan and Haibei.
"Oh, this is not as regular as your dad, our things are all loaded by ourselves. In two days, I'll take you to the city. Tell you to load the goods there, and we'll go in shifts in the future. Zhou Hong pinched her shoulders again, only to feel that her back was extremely sore.
"Oh, I'm most afraid of the festival, I just look forward to waiting for this festival to pass, and I'll be comfortable!" Seeing Zhou Hong's face with a little fatigue, Kou Xi stepped forward and asked her to lie on the counter. Pinch her shoulders with both hands, between the shoulder blades of her back.
"Oops, oops, this is here, it's sore and painful!" Zhou Hong snorted softly, curiously asked Kou Xi: "Your hand is so skillful, you know where it hurts when you touch it!"
Kou Xi chuckled: "In the past, my grandmother made shoes, quilts, and cotton jackets and pants. After a long time, her eyes hurt and her back hurt, so I gave her a hammer and a pinch. ”
"Oh, yes. Why don't you go back to your parents' house for the holidays?" Zhou Hong looked back at Kou Xi, who was distracted.
Kou Xi nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time." Two days after my holiday break, I went home to have a look. ”
She had already prepared the items to take home, and bought all kinds of pastries that the elderly like to eat, Xifeng wine, which her father liked, canned meat, canned fish, yellow peaches, and canned oranges. These are all hidden in the drawer of the unit, just waiting for the day she goes home to get off work early and take the evening train home at half past three.
Dragging his tired body, Kou Xi pushed open the door of his home. When I heard hearty laughter in the room, I was surprised. I saw a burly woman with a black face come out of the door, and saw Kou Xi laughing: "Xiaoxi, are you off work?" I was telling my father, it's 4:40, and you should be home." ”
She asked while pulling Kou Xi into the house: "You usually don't sell goods at four o'clock, why don't you go home for so long after work?"
"Sister!" Kou Xi thought for a long time and finally recognized that the person in front of him was Huo An's own sister Huo Jiaojiao.
Huo Jiaojiao is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, and she has a very good relationship with Huo An. She lost her mother when she was young, and her father married her stepmother the next year. Protecting Huo An wholeheartedly, he worked hard day and night. If there is something delicious, it must be hidden and left for Huo An to eat. When Huo Jiaojiao got married, Huo An was going to follow the villagers to the south to run a boat. Huo Jiaojiao heard about it, and ran home to lead Huo An to the brigade to sign up as a soldier. Huo An can have today, all thanks to this sister's help and support all the way.
It's just that I was ignorant and my head was caught by the door back then, and I had to go against this sister no matter what I did. As everyone knows, everything she did was told to Huo An by Huo Jiaojiao. Otherwise, Huo An would not have been able to visit his relatives and return home in the first year, so he asked him to collect his remittances.
What kind of person Huo Jiaojiao is, Kou Xi knows it. She's good at everything, but she's too pedantic. In her belief, a man is heaven and a woman is earth. A woman's ability should be in housework, and going to work outside is not a serious person's work. Men are outside, women are inside, this is a natural thing.
At the beginning, Huo Xinyu was not admitted to the junior college and went to work as a waiter in a restaurant in the town. Huo Jiaojiao couldn't look at it horizontally, saying that the waiters were all eyebrows with the people who came to eat, and they were not clear with the chef and the boss.
When Huo Dagui heard this, he hurriedly called Huo Xinyu back and asked her to stay at home. Huo Xinyu couldn't stay stunned, ran to the city to learn microcomputers, and after graduation, he was assigned to work at the post office. The whole family was very happy for her, only Huo Jiaojiao disagreed.
"Sister, the outside looks at us and closes the door. We still have to reconcile the accounts and check the inventory. Kou Xi smiled and took Huo Jiaojiao's arm: "My colleague in the same class is called Zhou Hong, who is two years younger than me." The little girl is very beautiful, and her personality is quite spicy. Usually she sells the goods in the front, and I take the goods in the back. We both have to get the same pair, and if something goes wrong, we have to pay for it ourselves!"
Huo Jiaojiao turned her face sideways and raised her eyebrows: "What about two of you at the counter?"
"Well, the materials are selling well, and Zhou Hong can't do it alone. That's why I was in charge of checking the library and she was in charge of selling the goods. ”
Huo Jiaojiao nodded with satisfaction: "It's almost the same! It's okay to look at the goods in the back, but there are everyone in front, it's really inconvenient!"
When the two entered the house, Kou Xi saw a table of good food in the house.
When Li Cuilian saw Kou Xi coming back, she beckoned and shouted: "Oh, the busy man is back, hurry up and eat." A big family is waiting for you alone!"
