Chapter VII
Tong Yan continued her studies with peace of mind, in the class, Tong Yan and Ji Ning had the best relationship, and Li Fangfang and Wang Li also got along well, the four little girls formed a small group, in and out together, except for Tong Yan, the other three girls had similar conditions at home, so everyone often ate together when eating, Tong Yan brought two eggs every few days, and shared them with several other people, in addition, Tong Yan is sorghum rice and vegetables every day, and everyone eats about the same.
Later, Tong Yan also knew that the girl who looked at her eyes was called Luo Ximei, she had always been a loner, and she basically didn't talk to several other girls, but she read well. For the current course, Tong Yan did not study hard, and the teacher did her best to teach, especially serious and responsible.
Mr. Hu is not young, but he is in good spirits, and his class requirements are very strict, and his favorite sentence is: I am responsible for you. Teacher Cai, who teaches Chinese, is not tall, full of energy, and can bring passion in a class, and is Tong Yan's favorite teacher. Occasionally, Tong Yan would think about the years to come, and these teachers would not know what kind of ordeal they would go through, but now she could not say anything or do anything. Now Tong Yan just wants to enjoy all this quietly, and if there is a chance in the future, Tong Yan is willing to help these lovely teachers.
The pace of autumn is getting closer and closer, Tong Yan walked around the space, but couldn't find suitable clothes, thinking about pulling some cloth and making two long-sleeved clothes. After some research, I found a piece of gray material, Tong Yan can't make clothes, but someone can.
In the evening, Tong Yan took the materials and went to find Sister-in-law Tian, who worked in a tailor shop, and it was no problem to make a dress. Sister-in-law Tian touched the material, liked it very much, and praised the material as good. However, there was no sewing machine at home, so Tian's sister-in-law said that she would bring it to the store to do it.
measured Tong Yan's size and calculated: "It is rich to be able to make a blouse and add a pair of pants." "As long as Tong Yan makes clothes, there are a lot of pants in the space, Tong Yan found a box of black pants in the space, which can be worn in this era, of course, Tong Yan has always worn black pants.
Tong Yan also understood that she couldn't let Sister-in-law Tian work in vain, so she said to Sister-in-law Tian: "Make a dress for Xiaodouzi and come out of my fabric." Sister-in-law Tian hurriedly refused: "Such good materials, how can you make them for your child and waste things." Xiaodouzi also shook his head: "I don't want gray, grandma and grandpa wear gray." ”
Tong Yan stretched out her hand and pinched Xiaodouzi's face: "You still have to pick and choose things!" Later, Tong Yan said to Sister Tian, Sister Tian didn't want it, it was really no way, Tong Yan asked Uncle He, if you want to do something for Uncle He, Uncle He shook his head.
Later, Tian's sister-in-law came up with an idea: "We also collect materials in our tailor's shop, and we put together some scraps of cloth to piece together a piece of clothing and pants, and then take them out and sell them, but they are sold secretly." As soon as Tong Yan heard that it was feasible, she told Tian's sister-in-law that it was okay, and the excess material was sold directly.
Within two days, Sister-in-law Tian sent the clothes over and brought more than two yuan. In the evening, Tong Yan took some liquor and meat from the space, the wine was a barrel of liquor found in the shop, and Tong Yan filled a bottle with an empty bottle. It's not that Tong Yan is stingy and refuses to take out good wine, it's really that the bottled wine is too eye-catching. In this era when you can't get enough to eat, it's already decent to bring some bulk wine to the door.
Tong Yan didn't pick pork belly, but brought some pork ribs and pork liver. Sister-in-law Tian was startled when she saw these things, and hurriedly pushed them, Uncle He said that he couldn't accept them, they were too precious, but his eyes kept staring at the wine bottle. Later, Tian's sister-in-law accepted the things, but pulled Tong Yan to stay for dinner. The smell of food wafted all over the small courtyard, and Uncle Cao came over when he smelled it, holding a lunch box in his hand, licking his face to make a partner at Sister-in-law Tian's house.
In the evening, there were more people at the dinner table, and the meal was lively. Uncle Cao drank the wine and praised Tian's sister-in-law for her generosity: "Sister-in-law, this wine is not cheap now, the key is not to buy it, this wine is not made by a farmer, sister-in-law, you tell me, where to buy this, I will buy some too." Sister-in-law Tian's face stiffened, and she turned her head to look at Tong Yan. Uncle Cao is also a smart person, and when he saw that there was something he didn't understand, he changed the topic with a haha.
After eating, Tong Yan returned home, and before her ass was hot, someone knocked on the door, Tong Yan went to open the door, and Uncle Cao stood at the door with a smile.
Uncle Cao is also a cheerful person, and he inquired about the source of the wine straight to the point, and Tong Yan naturally couldn't tell him that the wine came from the space. only said that he had a channel, and after playing Tai Chi for a while, Uncle Cao gave a plan to take 50 catties of wine from Tong Yan every month, at the price of eight pounds per catty, but Tong Yan wanted to ensure the quality of the wine.
It turned out that Uncle Cao was a driver, who went back to N Province at least twice a month, and often brought some goods to sell, and wine was the most sought-after, fast and profitable. The reason why Tong Yan is only willing to give 50 catties is that the stock of such liquor is limited, and if there are too much, it is easy to have an accident. Thinking about the income after that, Tong Yan is still very happy.
The next day I went to school and found that there was another thing to be happy about. Originally, the school was going to build a boiler room so that students could drink hot water during the winter. Now if you want to drink hot water, you have to go to the doorman to ask for a little. The water boiled on the small coal stove is not enough for everyone to drink, and many people drink raw water.
"Actually, this boiler room should have been built a long time ago. Tong Yan muttered, but Ji Ning looked at her like a fool: "There are several schools here, but there are no boiler rooms, so ours is still built with the money of the machinery factory." "Ji Ning's family has relatives who are teachers in school, and they are still very well-informed. "Yes, yes. I heard that last semester the principal made a report to the superiors proposing to build a boiler room, and he was criticized. Later, the leaders of the machinery factory found out, held a meeting for a long time, and finally agreed that the machinery factory would pay for us to build one. "A boy came up and shared his information. Students don't care who pays for it, they only have hot water to drink, and they are very content to warm their meals.
It didn't take long for the boiler room to start. On the day of the start of construction, Principal Qian came with a large number of leaders from the machinery factory, and Tong Yan saw Secretary Lu again. At this time, Secretary Lu was dressed in a navy blue Lenin suit, talking to Principal Qian with a smile on his face, Ji Ning stabbed Tong Yan: "Do you know who is talking to Principal Qian?" Tong Yan shook her head, "It's Secretary Lu of the General Machinery Factory, I heard that my family is from City B, you see, it's from a big city, and it's different from our people here." Tong Yan looked at Ji Ning's slightly red cheeks, and secretly scolded herself, this is the beginning of spring?
Although the machinery factory has the cost of construction, but in the end the funds are limited, the school called on the senior male students to do some chores, girls to help boil water, in a group of disgraced boys, Secretary Lu is even more elegant, attracting many girls and children to look at him secretly, although this era is not open to later generations, but everyone has a love for beauty! Tong Yan secretly smiled. It is estimated that Secretary Lu also felt something, and after staying for a while, he said goodbye to Principal Qian. When he turned around, he swept to a little girl with a ponytail, who had no admiration in her eyes, but looked at him with a playful expression. Lu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and left.
The next day, Principal Qian used a loudspeaker to tell everyone the good news. At the end of the semester, outstanding students will be selected and scholarships will be awarded. We look forward to the excellent performance of each and every student.
Everyone will fry the pot as soon as they hear it.,The school will also select outstanding students before.,Just give a certificate.,The top three can give a pencil.,Books and the like.,This time it's actually going to send money.,The big guy is as excited as a shot.。 A naughty boy also shouted: "This time I have to work hard again, fight for it." The classmate on the side glanced at him, "I didn't pass the math test last time, what are you still striving for?" everyone burst into laughter.
The boy blushed all of a sudden, and was about to rush up to fight, but the squad leader quickly stopped him, and turned his head to criticize and make fun of other people's classmates: "Qi Dajun, classmates must unite with each other, how can you laugh at others, and you are a good comrade if you can actively ask for progress." You are discouraged from the positive progress of your classmates, and such a mentality is unacceptable. There was a girl in the crowd who looked at Wu Beijiang with adoring eyes. Wu Beijiang wanted to say something, but he was stopped. Qi Dajun glanced at Wu Beijiang: "Class leader, I'm joking with my classmates, don't give me a hat, I think the squad leader also needs to work hard, otherwise you won't be able to keep the top three positions." Wu Beijiang's face froze, and he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, everyone has to work hard!"
The classmates all understood that Qi Dajun was referring to Tong Yan, Tong Yan's grades were among the best in the class, originally Wu Beijiang was hovering in the third or fourth place, and as soon as Tong Yan came, his ranking immediately fell. The girls in the crowd clenched their fists hard, looked at Qi Dajun with resentful eyes, and then at Tong Yan. Tong Yan felt that she was lying down and was also shot.
Tong Yan didn't think about competing for a place and being in the limelight. It's just that before she came here, Tong Yan's mathematics was intensively trained, so she had learned a lot of knowledge, and many problems could be solved in easier ways. As for Chinese, it was a personal hobby, so I spent some time learning it myself. In other subjects, Tong Yan looks at it with a passable mentality, so she is basically in the seventh or eighth place. It's just that if you do well in Chinese and mathematics, your score will naturally be higher.
People say that happiness begets sorrow, and when there are many good things, bad things will come to the door.
A few days ago, I listened to the people in the courtyard chattering that there was less food in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the price was still expensive. In the past, more than three kinds of coarse grains were supplied, but now only cornmeal is available. A person familiar with the matter explained that because of the heavy rain this summer, several places were flooded, and the grain that was about to ripen naturally could not be saved. This kind of news is what the big guys are most concerned about, isn't it just for a mouth?
There are many people who have asked for leave, rushed to the supply and marketing cooperatives early in the morning to line up, and there are also people with active brains who went to the countryside to buy a little. Tong Yan put half a bag of cornmeal at home, just to pretend. The place is small, and Tong Yan put the bag of cornmeal under the table.
One day when I was going to cook, Sister Tian came over with an empty bowl: "Little boy, lend me some food, I didn't buy food this morning." "Since the separation, Sister-in-law Tian's mother-in-law no longer refuses to give Sister-in-law Tian food, and now Sister-in-law Tian has to buy it for herself. "Okay. Tong Yan went back to the house to get food, but it was empty under the table.
Tong Yan was shocked, she did put the food under the table, but because she didn't eat it, she didn't touch the bag. Tong Yan's fire was rising up, looking at Tong Yan's face, Sister-in-law Tian was still puzzled, and when she heard that Tong Yan's food was stolen, she was also startled: "You remember correctly, it must have been placed under the table." When did you lose it?" Tong Yan was also asked, she hadn't eaten any of the food in it, how did she know when it was stolen.
But she can't tell the truth! Tong Yan lowered her head, remembering when was the last time she saw food?" "I should have seen it once yesterday afternoon, I remember that the bag was still there when I swept the floor, and it was only a day now." Sister-in-law Tian looked at her with surprised eyes: "You didn't eat last night?" Tong Yan was embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I cook for two days at a time, and I save it every day, troublesome." ”
Sister-in-law Tian looked at Tong Yan with sympathetic eyes, but when she thought about it, she became even more angry, and stood in the courtyard and scolded loudly: "Who is so lacking in virtue, good people don't do it, if you want to be a thief and steal, you will have diarrhea if you eat the stolen food, and you will lack the things of great virtue." The shouting and scolding caused the people in the courtyard to run out and inquire one after another.
Knowing that Tong Yan's food was stolen, they all looked at Tong Yan with sympathy, and Tong Yan lowered her head and only made a grievance. Someone also inquired vigorously: "What did you lose and how many catties did you lose." "There are also people who say cool things, saying that Tong Yan herself is too careless, why don't you hide the food. For a while, there was a lot of gossip, and there was everything to say.
Only Zhang Lanlan's family was surprisingly quiet, as if they didn't hear the sound in the courtyard at all. Gradually, everyone also reminisced, there was something in the yard in the past, this must have run out to see the excitement, today is too abnormal.
Uncle Cao stood up and knocked on the door of Zhang Lanlan's house, after a long time, Qiu Ni came out, saw Uncle Cao, and saw everyone standing at the door of her house and said timidly: "Uncle Cao, is there something wrong?" Uncle Cao would not be polite to her, and said with a straight face: "Your adults are not here?" "I haven't come back yet." "Qiu Ni is about to close the door.
Uncle Cao pressed against the door and asked her, "Tong Yan's food is lost, have you seen it?" "No, no, I don't know. Qiu Ni was young in the end, and she was a little scared when Uncle Cao asked, at this time Tong Yan also walked over and slowed down her voice: "Qiu Ni, my bag is white, and there is a mark near the bottom of the bag, do you think about it, have you seen it?" Qiu Ni subconsciously turned her head and glanced under the bed.
Uncle Cao still didn't understand anything, rushed in one step, lifted the sheets, and revealed a white bag, Uncle Cao lifted the bag up, and sure enough, he saw a red pattern at the bottom of the bag. Uncle Cao carried the bag to the yard and put it in the yard, "The big guy came to take a look, Tong Yan's words just now, the big guy heard it, and he has to be a witness in a while." ”
The yard is more lively, but this time the opinions are unified, pointing at Qiu Ni's nose and scolding, what is not good at a young age, what is not right on the beam and crooked on the lower beam, and he turned out the things he lost before. Qiu Ni had never seen such a battle, and she was so frightened that she cried. At this time, Dong Bao suddenly rushed out of the house: "You are the thief, that is my family, you get out of here." ”
He said to Qiu Ni again: "Sister, don't be afraid, Dad will come back and kill them in a while." Tong Yan had never been in contact with Dong Bao, and for the first time she saw a child so fierce, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. The adults weren't afraid of a little kid, so they turned to Dong Bao and reprimanded him.
At this time, Zhao Jianshe and his family came back, and when they saw everyone scolding their hearts, they paid it back. Zhang Lanlan pulled her sleeves and was about to rush up. Sister-in-law Tian sneered: "Zhang Lanlan, don't spill, your girl stole Tong Yan's food, and now that she has obtained the stolen goods, what else do you have to say." ”
"Fart, who stole the food, who stole the food?" Zhang Lanlan screamed fiercely in her mouth, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart, she knew what virtues her girl had, but she couldn't admit it at this time. Tong Yan took a step forward, explained the matter again, and pointed to the bag and said, "The pattern on it was painted by me, and there is no one outside, that is, it is the only one, if you don't believe it, I can draw it again." When Zhang Lanlan heard this, she knew that something bad was wrong, but she was unforgiving: "Who wants you to paint, you are in a panic! Don't talk nonsense here, my family is going to cook, so hurry up." ”
You can't let her fool her like that. Uncle Cao looked at Zhao Jianjian, who was speechless, and opened his mouth: "Since Sister-in-law Zhang doesn't admit it, then okay, let's go directly to the public security." As soon as I heard that the police were looking for it, the big guy was all quiet.
If you find the public security, this matter will be a big problem, Uncle Cao is very satisfied with everyone's reaction, "I was missing something last time, this time Tong Yan is missing something, who will be the turn next time?" The people in the courtyard all looked down and thought, the words made sense, who can guarantee that they will not steal from their heads next time.
Soon someone echoed, shouting for the police. Qiu Ni turned pale with fright, and she was about to faint. Zhao Jianshe looked at each other. Zhao Jianshe reacted quickly, grabbed Uncle Cao, and made a smile: "Brother Cao, look at it, it's just that children are ignorant, why make such a big fuss, I'll teach her a lesson when I go back, don't be like her." Uncle Cao pulled away Zhao Jianjian's hand, pointed at Qiu Ni and said, "This is not the first time, stealing food is not a big deal, so what is a big deal?"
Zhao Jianshe was speechless, looked at everyone's unkind expressions, walked up to Qiu Ni, slapped Qiu Ni roundly, and beat Qiu Ni to sit directly on the ground. Qiu Ni was blindfolded all of a sudden, and sat in a daze, not crying.
