Chapter 55 Peacock Greeting Card
After Ning Yue'e left, some of the so-called light work in the field, such as weeding, watering, loosening the soil, etc., was done by Ning Fulin and Ning Guang together.
In fact, Mrs. Chu meant to let Ning Fulin keep an eye on Ning Zong's studies and let Ning Guang do it alone, but Ning Guang had served the vegetable furrow, but he had not served the serious fields, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry, and the crops did not grow well.
Ning Fulin was greedy for this bit of production in the field, so he went out in person and taught his granddaughter hand-in-hand.
If you change Ningguang when you were a child, you must be honest and well-behaved. But Ning Guang at this age has long had a gap with her family, anyway, no matter how good the harvest in this field is, it won't give her any benefits, so she remembered that she taught Shen Anyi to do housework before, and deliberately this won't do that...... Ning Fulin lost patience after teaching her a few times, and suspected that she was pretending, so she would inevitably be beaten and scolded.
However, Ning Guang knew that the things in the field, even if it was light work, it was enough for her body. What's more, doing housework every day is tiring enough, this extra hard work is of course the less the better, insisting that they are stupid and can't learn, and they are in a hurry and talk about their academic performance, saying that since they are not the material for studying, it can be seen that learning things is slow, and it is not that they are unwilling to work hard!
Ning Fulin beat it a few times, thinking about it, this granddaughter is usually honest, and her grades are indeed miserable. He knew that Shen Anyi had given Ning Guang a make-up lesson in his early years but to no avail, so he sighed at this moment and scolded Ning Guang for not being able to stick to the wall, so he could only let Ning Guang give him a hand.
You can't make this beautiful field miserable, can you?
Peasants, especially those like him, who have never left the fields in his life, resented his peasant life, but he also had feelings for the land in the end.
Even if it wasn't for the economy, he really couldn't stand the fact that his family's originally carefully served field was getting worse and worse by his granddaughter.
Ning Guang achieved his goal, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and made up his mind to continue grinding foreign workers in the future.
As for Ning Fulin's occasional heart-to-heart talk to her when she was working, saying that Yaya is old, it is not easy for you to be considerate, Ning Guang was silent on his face, but he sneered in his heart, thinking that Ning Zong, who was so distressed by you, is not considerate of you, why should I, the granddaughter who was beaten and scolded by you, be considerate of you?
She's not a slut.
It's time to get to the New Year's Day.
After so many years, Ning Guang has always been full of resentment towards the New Year's Festival, after all, she is usually busy and tired enough, and there are many things to do during the New Year's Festival, and what new clothes and delicious entertainment have nothing to do with her.
However, in addition to resentment in the past few years, there are also some expectations, that is, Miao Guoqing can come back.
When Miao Guoqing went out before, he said that he would come back for the New Year, but later he felt that the round-trip ticket was an expense, and there was still a lot of overtime pay during the New Year, so Ning Fulin made a decision to ask him not to come back, it was important to make money.
Year after year, the father and daughter haven't seen each other for a few days.
Originally, because Ning Yue'e also went out this year, she went to Miao Guoqing's side to defect, Ning Guang thought that her parents should come back together, but when it was close to the thirtieth night, the people from the next village came back with a message, saying that they decided to stay there together to earn money, and only asked him to bring some money back, and some food and drink.
When someone came to talk to Ning Fulin, Ning Guang was busy picking up in and out, and listened to a few words, and suddenly heard Ning Fulin ask, "What is this?" β
"This hairpin is for your beautiful hair." The person who helped bring things and messages also knew the situation of the Ning family, and was afraid that Ning Fulin would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "The beauty is also big, and I can't stay at home for a few years, so it's time to dress up." β
Ning Guang heard that there was something for him, and hurriedly walked out, and saw Ning Fulin holding a pink hairpin in his hand, which was in the shape of a strawberry, which looked pink and girly, and it was 100% in line with the aesthetics of most girls of her age.
"You can take what your uncle bought for you." Ning Fulin frowned, handed the hairpin to his granddaughter, and muttered, "I don't know how much." β
The person with the letter smiled a little without knowing what to say, and glanced at Ning Guang, just like Father Yang and Mother Yang before, quite surprised: "Your beautiful head ...... It's getting better and better! β
Ning Fulin said indifferently: "It's just a beautiful head." β
The man smiled again, and when Ning Guang returned to the stove with the hairpin, he asked Ning Guang softly if he had allowed anyone to come.
"Do you have the right person?" Ning Fulin and Mrs. Chu have already agreed that they will definitely not let Ning Guang marry in recent years, otherwise who will do things inside and out?
But if there is a particularly suitable person, it is okay to settle down first.
In their customs, engagement is a surefire affair for the woman.
Because once engaged, the man has to come to the door every New Year's holiday, and of course he can't come empty-handed. And the conditions are better and I like the woman more, and even the consumables such as the fiancΓ©e's clothes, shoes and socks are round.
This is equivalent to allowing the man to raise Ningguang in advance, and he can keep Ningguang to be a cow and a horse at home...... Mrs. Chu and Ning Fulin both think it's good.
So now when someone asks, he also casually says: "My family's beautiful head, don't say anything else, people are honest and do things quickly." So we are reluctant to let her go out, after all, she is not yet old, do you have to abide by the laws of the country. But it's really a good person, it's okay to settle down first, so as not to delay her age, and then blame us. β
The man knew it in his heart and said, "Your beautiful head is so good, you can pick and choose." You know that we work outside, and all the people in a county are fellow villagers, so after we went out, we met a lot of people. There are a few boys over there, who are at the age of kissing. β
Ning Fulin asked him to help inquire, if it really happened, Xie Mingcha would be indispensable.
The soundproofing effect of the country house is not good, although they said these words softly, but Ning Guang still heard it in the stove, and he was very angry.
Although she had long known that the Ning family would sell her for money, she almost couldn't control herself and went out to quarrel with him when she heard Ning Fulin saying the same things there, as if she had given herself a price and a price explanation.
β¦β¦ Maybe it was because he asked someone to give Ning Guang a blind date, worried that there would be news in the first month, and even someone came to see Ning Guang, Ning Fulin rarely called his granddaughter to his side after sending off the guests, gave her some money, and asked her to go to the town to buy some new clothes or something, and dress up: "After all, it's the New Year, don't make it too dusty." β
Ning Guang took the money expressionlessly, but he was impatient to go to town.
She must like to dress up at this age, but the thought of being picked and picked by others after dressing up makes her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart, and she would rather not wear new clothes.
However, of course Ning Fulin would not allow her to do this, urging and urging, and finally getting angry, Ning Guang could only go out.
When she arrived in the town, she was so angry that she refused to buy clothes, but walked to the stationery store, wanting to buy some stamps and stationery or something, and communicate with Shen Anyi...... Speaking of which, she hasn't written to Shen Anyi for a long time.
Because after graduating from junior high school, Mrs. Chu and Ning Fulin forced her to leave her to work at home, afraid that she would sneak out, so they took all kinds of precautions. Cut off her economy is one of them.
Although the Yang family, who had been going to get the letter, expressed their willingness to provide her with stamps, envelopes, and stationery, Ning Guang always felt that she owed the Yang family a lot, and she was really embarrassed.
And Yang Qiuhan did not repeat a grade, she was one level higher than her, and she was admitted to the county high school a year earlier in the middle school entrance examination - at that time, there were also rumors that she was not actually admitted to the county middle school, but took her uncle's door and let the county open the back door - but anyway, this peer went to the county after Ningguang went to the third year of junior high school, and the two have not seen each other until now.
Although Ning Guang felt that his relationship with Yang Qiuhan was not very good, and he even vaguely felt that the other party was condescending to him, Yang Qiuhan was the first person in the Yang family to know her, and she was also the only one in the Yang family of three who was about the same age as Ning Guang. After she left, Ning Guang was extremely restrained in front of the enthusiastic Yang father and Yang mother alone.
So Ning Guang was picking and choosing in the bookstore at this time, thinking that if he bought these and didn't buy clothes, he would definitely be beaten and scolded by Ning Fulin when he went back.
But whatever.
It's not that I haven't been beaten and scolded.
In exchange for contacting Shen Anyi, she felt that it was more cost-effective.
I was struggling between the two envelopes, and a person came in at the door and went directly to the boss, who thought he was going to buy something, so he stood up, but heard him say: "I have a new greeting card from Shanghai, do you want it here?" It's quite chic, it's not available in town, and I don't get into much, so if you don't want it, I'll go to another store. β
The boss was a little surprised and said, "You bring it to me to see." β
Ning Guang was also a little curious when he heard this, and his eyes turned over, and he saw that the man took out a rather large white envelope from the bag he was carrying, and after the envelope was opened, there was a colorful greeting card inside. What's special about this greeting card is that it's not like the common greeting cards in the town, or a piece of paper folded in half, at most it's a little fragrant, the pattern is beautiful, and the leaves are sticky...... It's a three-dimensional peacock opening screen.
After opening it and placing it on the counter, the feathers made of transparent plastic and colored cardboard can still shake slightly, which immediately attracts the attention of the entire bookstore.
There was even a little girl who was better dressed and had already walked over anxiously to ask how much it was.
"Alas, you are such a bad rule." The owner of the bookstore obviously took a fancy to it, and when he heard this, he quickly drove the little girl away and let the person go inside to talk to him.
After a while, the man came out with a bag that was obviously much lighter, with a smile on his face, and the bookstore owner was in a good mood, and asked the little girl who hadn't left yet: "Eight yuan, do you want it?" β
The little girl nodded without even thinking about it: "Yes!" Give me three! β
Ning Guang looked at her with a little envy, everyone's life has been much better in the past two years, but eight yuan is not a small amount, after all, rice is only a few cents a pound at this time?
Being able to take out 24 yuan to buy greeting cards in one go, and also bought three greeting cards, it can be seen that the conditions at home must be very good.
"Shall I buy one for An Yi as well?" Ning Guang has long been accustomed to taking a few glances at the things he likes, and he doesn't even look at them, but today he came to the town with a breath of anger in his heart, and suddenly thought, "I bought envelopes, stationery and stamps, and then bought a pen, I can find a place to write letters, and send them to An Yi after I finish writing, so that they can't do anything when they know about it when they go home." β
If you take it back, you may be torn up in a rage, or confiscated for Ning Zong, or even let Mrs. Chu use it to paint when she makes shoes, and she won't give good things to Ning Guang anyway.
"I didn't give An Yi anything good...... No, I don't think I gave anything to An Yi. Ning Guang bit his lip at this moment and thought, "This greeting card is so beautiful, An Yi will definitely like it!" It's just a little more expensive...... But why should cheap things be given to An Yi? β
Her good friend has always been pampered, and food, clothing, and housing are all good things!
Thinking of this, Ning Guang no longer hesitated, took the envelope and the like, walked over and said to the boss, "Give me one too!" β
After a while, she went out with a stack of things in her hands, looked left and right, and finally decided to go to the post office to write a letter.
Unexpectedly, I entered the post office, sat down at the table in the hall, and as soon as I spread out the letter, a familiar person also walked in, looked left and right, and sat down opposite her.
Both of them had something to do at this moment, and they were busy paying attention to each other, and they didn't even look up at each other.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the man on the other side finished his things, stretched his waist, and moved his neck...... As a result, when he looked up, he happened to see Ning Guang writing half of the letter, and several familiar names in it made him look at Ning Guang a few more times.
I was a little amused when I followed, and shouted tentatively: "Ningguang? β
