Tong Yan walked around and found that there were some basic daily necessities here, and there were not many of them. There are also food that are sold, such as twist flowers, Jiang rice noodles, sesame candy, etc., and the prices are not cheap. Tong Yan remembered the bag of twist flowers given to Aunt Zhou, at that time Aunt Zhou resolutely refused to ask for it, if it weren't for Xiao Haizi's pitiful eyes, Aunt Zhou would definitely have to return it to Tong Yan, so she could say that she accepted it, and Sister Liu couldn't stop thanking her. I thought it was polite, but now I know that this thing is still a precious thing here.

Tong Yan secretly kept the price in mind and turned around and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative. Walking slowly along this dirt road, Tong Yan saw an acquaintance - Sister Li, Tong Yan put her hand into her satchel, and actually took a bag of twist flowers from the space. Yesterday the school was implemented, and she should be told. Tong Yan chased after two steps and stopped Sister Li, and Sister Li also gave a smile when she saw Tong Yan. The first sentence was to ask her if she had been admitted, Tong Yan naturally told Sister Li the results of the exam, and Sister Li patted Tong Yan on the shoulder: "Little girl, I can't see it, it's still quite powerful." Tong Yan hurriedly said that if it weren't for Sister Li's help, it would not be easy to do a good job in enrollment.

The two chatted for a while, and the relationship was also harmonious, and in the end, Tong Yan stuffed a bag of twist flowers to Sister Li, Sister Li pushed slightly, and accepted it, of course, the attitude was more intimate, took Tong Yan's hand, and invited her to sit at home when she was free. Tong Yan asked with concern what she was doing today? Tong Yan didn't hide it, saying that she wanted to work a part-time job to make up some tuition. Sister Li frowned: "It's hard to find a job in the town. If you don't go ahead, there are a few factories in the town, so you can go and inquire. Tong Yan thought the same thing.

Saying goodbye to Sister Li, Tong Yan walked for about 20 minutes and saw the first factory, the big iron door was open, a flat stone road led directly to the factory, the factory was neatly lined with four rows of houses, there was a row of houses on the left and right, and there was a faint roar of the machine, Tong Yan looked at the sign at the door, and the second machinery factory in Lin'an Town was written in black on a white background. Next door to the second machine factory is the textile factory, and a little further walk there is a health center. However, after walking around, I didn't find any place to recruit workers.

In the next few days, the matter of finding a job was still unsettled, and Tong Yan gradually became anxious. The result of not sleeping well at night is not being able to get up in the morning. Especially when the weather is getting hotter and hotter, this room is not ventilated, it is very stuffy, Tong Yan has to stay up until eleven or twelve o'clock before closing the door and hiding in the space to rest. The alarm clock at five o'clock woke up, and Tong Yan went out of the space again.

On this day, Tong Yan just came out of the space, and she wanted to sleep back, only to hear Tian's sister-in-law shouting in her voice: "The supply and marketing cooperatives have supplied meat today, big guys, hurry up!"

The supply and marketing cooperatives supply pork from time to time, to catch up with this time, the big guy runs the fastest, this year is short of meat, in order to buy a little to relieve the family's cravings, aunts, aunts are all going all out. Tong Yan also plans to take a look. When I went out with a basket, I happened to meet Zhang Lanlan next door. Zhang Lanlan was still wearing that crumpled dress, and when she saw Tong Yan, she pursed her lips and said in a weird manner: "At a young age, your mouth is greedy, and you still buy meat to eat, do you have money? Do you have a ticket?" Tong Yan paused, turned her head and smiled at Zhang Lanlan: "Sister-in-law Zhang, if you have money and a ticket, then hurry up, otherwise, as soon as everyone cooks, you can only smell the meat." After saying that, he turned around and left. Zhang Lanlan, who was only angry, scolded behind her.

This Zhang Lanlan is bullying Tong Yan alone, and she doesn't dare to provoke others casually. Tong Yan understood in her heart, and she didn't bother to take care of her, after living in the past few days, Tong Yan found that there were a lot of people in this small courtyard, everyone was usually busy, and they were polite on the face, and the best one was Zhang Lanlan.

When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw a long queue, and there were two people standing on the counter, one cutting meat, cutting a piece of meat with a knife in his hand, throwing it on the scale, reporting the number, and a person next to him calculated the price according to the catty and collected the money. If you want to pick and choose, it is impossible, not only the meat seller has to count you twice, but the queue behind you also has to urge you.

The master of cutting meat wipes a handful of sweat on his head from time to time, and the person who collects the money hangs a towel around his neck, taking advantage of his free time to wipe his sweat, and the people in line are even more difficult to bear. Tong Yan only looked at it from a distance.

Not long after, the master threw the knife on the board and shouted: "It's sold out, don't line up." As soon as the words fell, the people who hadn't bought it sighed for a while, and returned in a huff. There are still those who don't give up, scan the counter up and down, and see that there is indeed no one before leaving.

Tong Yan found a target in the disappointed crowd. This is a middle-aged woman, with kind eyebrows and clean clothes. It is estimated that it was because I didn't buy meat, and my eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. Tong Yan walked beside her with a basket, and the middle-aged woman quickly found Tong Yan, to be exact, she found the meat in Tong Yan's basket, and after several times of wanting to speak, the woman finally mustered up the courage to stop Tong Yan: "Girl, you just bought meat." ”

Tong Yan was secretly happy in her heart, looking at the middle-aged woman with a smile and crooked eyebrows: "Yes, I have good luck today." "Then, that girl, can you discuss something? Can you give me some of this meat, I'll add some more to you at the price of the supply and marketing cooperative, okay?" Tong Yan pretended to hesitate, and the middle-aged woman saw that there was a door, and then said: "My daughter just gave birth to a child, and her body is losing a lot, I will buy some meat for her to make up for it, I just queued for a long time, and I didn't buy anything, you see if you can even it." "Okay" Tong Yan responded happily: "What price?"

As soon as the woman heard this, the gloom immediately dissipated, and she pulled Tong Yan to a corner, and the two bargained, adding seven cents to the price of the supply and marketing cooperative, but there was no need for meat tickets. Tong Yan sold the meat. After making the first transaction, Tong Yan went back happily.

As soon as I arrived home, someone was looking for me, and the person who came was Sister Li. Sister Li's face was not very good-looking, so she sat down and chatted to Tong Yan, and after listening to it for a long time, Tong Yan finally understood what was going on. It turned out to be Sister Li's son's thing, it is estimated that he is also a skin boy, usually naughty in school, Sister Li did not go to the school to listen to the training, this time the exam grade countdown, the teacher asked the parents, he hid it at both ends, and then the teacher came to the door, Sister Li only knew, she was dizzy with anger, and beat the skin boy last night.

But it's too embarrassing to put this score here. After thinking about it all night, Sister Li remembered that Tong Yan was coming: "Tong Yan, you have good homework, help me teach my son, eldest sister won't let you do it in vain." Tong Yan was actually quite hesitant, and Sister Li kept persuading, and then agreed to give it a try.

Sister Li and Tong Yan agreed on a make-up time, and gave Tong Yan the address of her home, Tong Yan still wanted to send it, but Sister Li pushed Tong Yan back: "It's the end of the month today, I'm here to collect the rent, you don't care about you." The two were talking, and Zhang Lanlan next door pushed the door out, saw Sister Li and Tong Yan, showed an extremely kind smile to Sister Li, and said to Sister Li in a gentle voice that Tong Yan had never heard: "Sister, why are you here, sit in the house." Sister Li glanced at Zhang Lanlan and put away her smile: "It's just right, I'll collect the rent and pay the money!" Zhang Lanlan accompanied her smiling face: "I'll take it, I'll take it, you will wait!" After a while, the money was handed over to Sister Li, and after Sister Li finished counting the money, she nodded slightly at Zhang Lanlan, turned around and said hello to Tong Yan, and specially reminded Tong Yan not to forget the time.

As soon as Zhang Lanlan saw Sister Li leave, she immediately came to Tong Yan's side, and said with a smile at Tong Yan: "Little Tong, you and Sister Li know each other, I look at you quite familiar." Tong Yan looked at the smiling face squeezed out by Zhang's sister-in-law, only to feel that the hairs were about to stand up, so she reluctantly complied, looking at Zhang Lanlan and still coming to her side, Tong Yan quickly stopped the conversation: "I still have some things, let's go back and talk about it." After speaking, she quickly hid back in the house, leaving Zhang Lanlan to watch Tong Yan close the door, her face immediately collapsed, she secretly scolded a few words, and went back to the house.

The next day, Tong Yan met Sister Li's son, Gao Yue, a thirteen-year-old boy, at Sister Li's house, and Tong Yan's first impression of Gao Yue was rebellion. Everything that Sister Li said was wrong, and everything that Sister Li asked him to do was only one word - no. Tong Yan looked at the second-year teenager who was screaming with Sister Li on his neck, and sighed secretly. Sister Li was so angry that she slapped the table and scolded him: "Do you still have a conscience, how many scoldings I have suffered for you, how many apologies have I given people, my face has been lost to you, if you are like this again, I and your father will not care about you, look at what you eat and wear, white-eyed wolf, I raised a white-eyed wolf!" Gao Yue, a second-year teenager, was still stiffening his neck, and his face was flushed, "I'll go to work, I can support myself, I don't have to rely on you." "Tong Yan really wants to help her forehead.

When Sister Li heard this, she was even more angry, and took off her shoes to beat him, Tong Yan looked at this chaotic situation, and hurriedly pulled Sister Li, so that she could persuade him first.

When Sister Li calmed down, she said to Gao Yue again: "Hello, Gao Yue, my name is Tong Yan, I will also take classes in your school next semester, and I will be from the same school as you in the future." However, I am in my third year of high school, and I came here today to ask you about the school. ”

Gao Yue looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same height as him, looked at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and talked to him gently and gently, his momentum suddenly weakened a few points, and he said a little shyly: "My mother said, you are here to teach me." "Yes, but it's not in class, but I think you can ask me if you don't know how to solve a problem." However, I'm not the best at learning, so we can discuss, don't we say that classmates should help each other!"

Gao Yue was a little unhappy when he heard this, Tong Yan hurriedly added: "Why don't you tell me about the school first!?" Gao Yue's face softened a little after hearing this, and pulled over a chair: "You sit, you can ask if there is anything!"

Tong Yan was secretly amused, there was no shortage of secondary two teenagers in any era, and she turned her head and said to Sister Li: "Why don't you go to the meeting, I'll talk to Gao Yue." As he spoke, he quietly gave Sister Li a look. Sister Li glanced at Gao Yue and went back to the room, without Sister Li in charge, the second middle school boy immediately became active, Tong Yan guided him two sentences, he said things in school like a bamboo tube pouring beans, complaining that homework is difficult, teachers are annoying, classmates are stupid, and Tong Yan also understands, just like modern children, they play hard, they can't keep up with their studies, their grades naturally lag behind, they have to be disciplined by teachers if they don't do well in exams, their parents scold, classmates laugh, and they don't feel happy, so they don't want to study, and of course their grades are worse.

Tong Yan looked at his exercise book, which drew planes, tanks, and small heads. Tong Yan was so amused that she burst into tears, looking at the little boy's shy and embarrassed appearance, Tong Yan quickly stopped laughing, took a blank piece of paper, found a pen, and drew an airplane with a few simple strokes. I saw the boy looking at him with adoring eyes. Tong Yan is also very proud, she learned to paint for a period of time with a neighbor when she was a child, although it is an entry level, but it is enough to deal with today's children. In the end, Tong Yan made an agreement with the boy, and Tong Yan gave him make-up lessons and taught him to draw various weapons.

In this way, Tong Yan began her life as a little teacher. There is no need to look for a short-term job, relying on the make-up fee given by Sister Li should be able to pay for tuition and rent. Tong Yan was in a good mood, the scorching sun was not so dazzling, and the cicadas on the trees were no longer noisy.

Back home, Tong Yan decided to treat herself. Take out the stove, light the fire, and when the stove is burning, Tong Yan brought the stove into the space, caught a fish, made a sweet and sour fish, and then made a fried beef with Hangzhou pepper, plus a fried vegetable, and a hot and sour soup. Lunch for one person was still plentiful.

In this wholesale market, there are several shops that make cooked vegetables, which have gas stoves, which are used to fill liquefied gas, and Tong Yan is reluctant to use them, and for a long time in the future, they all use briquette stoves, Tong Yan believes that this is a necessary skill in this era, but fortunately, the reserves of briquettes in several shops that make dim sum are still very sufficient. After eating, Tong Yan took the stove out of the space again, put it at her door, and boiled a pot of water on the stove, so that no one in the yard would be surprised if they couldn't see that they were cooking and boiling water.

At this moment, a group of people came into the courtyard, the leader was a middle-aged woman, with an angry face, followed by a group of strong laborers, a few of them were still holding sticks in their hands, and the menacing appearance frightened Tong Yan, the first reaction in his mind was the red soldier, those people saw Tong Yan, and came over at Tong Yan, Tong Yan only felt that her breath was in her throat, and the woman at the head opened her mouth: "Hey, do you know which room Zhang Lanlan lives in?" Tong Yan heard her ask, gasped, and pointed to the room next door.

The woman began to slam the door without saying a word, and the door was smashed to a "clang" sound, Tong Yan hurriedly stopped: "I shouldn't be at home now." When the woman heard this, she stopped, and a man behind her said, "Sister, we are waiting here, and she must not fail to return." ”

Tong Yan looked at these people, the leading woman had a haggard face, yellow skin, a white flower on her head, her clothes were also patched, a pair of cloth shoes were faded, and the men who followed were all dressed up similarly, her rolled up trouser legs were still stained with mud, and her fingernails were all black, they should all be croppers. Tong Yan was relieved, the kettle on the stove made a "bang" sound, Tong Yan carried the kettle back to the house, and the group of people gathered in the small courtyard and talked quietly.

Not long after, someone shouted at the door: "Girl, girl!" Tong Yan lifted the curtain of the door and saw a young man standing at the door, and his face turned red before he could speak: "Girl, can you beg for saliva, we have walked all the way, and no one ...... this family yet" "Okay, wait a minute." Tong Yan looked at those people who were sweating all over their heads, and their mouths were peeling, which was pitiful. I found a large cauldron, poured all the water I had just boiled into it, and took a few bottles of ice water from the space and poured it in. Carrying most of the pot of water, he put it at the door, took a few bowls out, and beckoned them to come over to drink water, it was estimated that they were really thirsty, and when they all drank it, there was a bottom left in the pot, and the young man who was talking to Tong Yan before was very embarrassed, "What, girl, I'll go get some water for you, it's all drunk." Tong Yan hurriedly refused, and while she was talking, someone shouted over there: "People are coming." ”

Tong Yan couldn't hold back her curiosity, and also stood at the door to watch, Zhang Lanlan saw this group of people as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, and her face was not good-looking at that time, and she saw the middle-aged woman in the lead pointing at the woman's nose and scolded: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean, you want to fight with a group of people, let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you, you group of people want to bully me as a woman, you still have to be shameless, hurry up and get out of me." The woman didn't show weakness either: "You are a shameless person, you took up the job of my family Jianmin, and now you turn your face and don't recognize people!"

"Phew! Your family is dead, can the dead still work? Besides, this is what my mother agreed to give us, don't you take the money? You still want to regret it!" The people around listened to Zhang Lanlan's words, and although they didn't say anything, they also glared at Zhang Lanlan angrily.

Two women, you say a word, the louder you say, the more angry you get, and finally, Zhang Lanlan pounced on her sister-in-law, and the two of them tore together, and a man on the side made a move, pulling Zhang Lanlan away.

The movement in the courtyard alarmed the others, some gathered around the gate of the courtyard to look around, and some gathered around to ask what was going on. Not long after, Zhang Lanlan's man came back, and when he saw this scene, his face was not good-looking. The man's emaciated face has a pair of triangular eyes, the corners of his eyes are drooping at this time, his face is tiger, and a work uniform is stained with a lot of ash: "What are you doing here? Sister-in-law, this is your fault, you are here with your family to find trouble? Don't forget, I paid for this job now, which means that this job is mine, and it has nothing to do with your family." ”

As soon as she heard this, the sister-in-law trembled with anger, and a young man in the crowd rushed out at once, punching Zhang Lanlan's man, this time the small courtyard was chaotic, and there were things in the courtyard that were placed outside by various households, some of them were knocked over to the ground, and some were kicked into the corner. As soon as I saw that the matter was getting bigger, the onlookers stopped watching the excitement, and some of them ran to call people quickly. Some people hurriedly pulled people to persuade them. Tong Yan lives so big, she has never seen a group fight, but today is an eye-opener.
