The Yang family discussed and discussed, and finally didn't decide on any strategy, but Yang Cripple also said a few things to pay more attention to, one of which is to keep a sufficient distance from the Xiao family, for example, he can't accept his family's bride price for three festivals and two birthdays, and he doesn't urge his family to build a new house, and this matter can't be known to too many people, and the street has to deny Yunyun, this is already a plan for Yang Erni's future: I heard that the boss of the Xiao family can't study, it is almost destined to be a farmer, if the girl really has the hope of "eating national grain", I'm sorry, You can't climb high!

Yang Erni lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, she felt a little regretful about asking Xiao Daqian for the exam fee and letting him ride a bicycle to take her to the exam, that boy was stupid, not the type she liked, Yang Erni once sketched the appearance of her future lover in her mind, she should be very elegant, similar to the cadres in the commune, walking steadily, with her hands behind her back and her chest, definitely not like Xiao Daqian who overturned people on a bicycle. She decided not to have any intimate relationship with Xiao Daqian anymore, originally said last time that it was still Xiao Daqian who sent her to the official exam, but Yang Erni regretted it, in case it was seen by others.

Xiao Daqian's business is good, this weekend he brought the wild vegetables to the morning market and sold them for more than four yuan, and even he had two customers, saying that the Ququ bud leaves he picked were thick and flavorful, and they were of the highest quality, and they could be kept directly for them next time, and the price was negotiable. Xiao Daqian was crazy with happiness, he decided to reward himself, went to the bookstore and bought two books, one is "Answers to Typical Problems in Junior High School Mathematics", and the other is Qiong Yao's novel "Caiyunfei", which cost him nearly half of his money, and bought peach crisp snacks for his younger brothers and sisters, of course, he bought one more peach cake, he didn't take it home, for fear that Xiao Weidong and Kang Yunmei would see it, but ran to the school and stuffed it into the desk and book hole, ready to give it to Yang Erni quietly on Monday.

Xiao Weidong has been very busy recently, after the new homestead is approved by the village committee, it is necessary to arrange to dig the foundation and other things, this work is heavy physical work, but there is no requirement in time, so almost every morning and evening he goes to his own responsibility field, is there to pick up the land, this is a hundred years of plan, son and even grandson have to live here for decades, can not relax a little, he dug the foundation and made some broken bricks smashed in the ground, this has to wait until the official start of the house to ram and reinforce, it is also very interesting, When he dug the ground in the morning, he dug out a clay pot, at first Xiao Weidong thought that it was a silver dollar or something, but after opening it, it was just some inkstones, teapots, the best thing to look at is a brick-red seal, crooked on the top I don't know what words are written, these are not very valuable, there are often such harvests in rural buildings, of course, there are also people who make a fortune, the neighboring village Zhang Miao once dug out a golden Buddha, seven or eight pounds of weight, and finally was taken away with five thousand yuan, these things are not worth anything at all, but it is good to play with children, It's not bad to go back to the teapot and brush it to make tea, so Xiao Weidong didn't care, and after taking it home, he threw it under the table and forgot about it.

Xiao Weidong couldn't help frowning when he saw the peach cake on the table, this Kang Yunmei is a little too bad at living, look at the peach cake should have two catties, this costs eight cents, this money will be bought into meat for the family to eat for seven or eight days, he secretly scolded: Losers!

Xiao Baobao ran over, he had a piece of peach cake in his hand, and he was very excited to see his father: "Dad, my brother bought it, he went to the city, bought it!" Delicious and sweet! He was already able to speak in full, but when he was too excited, he spoke word by word, as if to emphasize.

Xiao Weidong's brows furrowed even tighter, he could fully understand the meaning of his youngest son's words, this was bought by Xiao Daqian, this kid is too uncountable, I see that he has been on the right path recently, he has not had too much education, and he has not beaten and scolded at every turn like before, what's wrong? Not used to it? Do you have to break your leg to be happy? The family's economic situation is not just to afford to eat peach cakes, and he works hard to build a house for him, and he has to spend every penny in half, but how can he live like this?

He suppressed his anger and asked Xiao Bao: "Where is the boss?" Where did the death go? ”

Xiao Baobao couldn't understand his father's anger, and said happily: "Read, the east of the village!" ”

Xiao Weidong stretched his hands and feet, and decided to give his eldest son a physical training class tonight: I don't believe that beating you will not change!

At this time, Kang Yunmei walked in, and she was happy: "Master, are you back?" Eat peach crisp! The boss bought it back! ”

Xiao Weidong had a tendency to be furious, and scolded: "Eat your mother's legs, isn't this money?" It's not easy for Lao Tzu to make money, let you eat it! This new house also builds a P! ”

Kang Yunmei saw that he was very angry, and knew that her husband was indeed too difficult, so she hurriedly explained: "You, this is the boss who took advantage of Sunday to pull weeds, pulled out a basket of curved buds, and took them to the city market to sell, and I heard him say that he sold them for three yuan, so he bought peach cakes for us to taste!" ”

Oh, so that's what happened! Xiao Weidong vented a lot of anger in his chest, but he couldn't easily admit his mistake: "This loser, what kind of peach crisp to buy, two catties of meat is better than this." Qu Quya can be sold for so much money, don't be ......." He wanted to say don't steal from others, but then he woke up, Xiao Daqian was raised by him since he was a child, this baby is very pure in human nature, never do sneaky things, of course, he will not be allowed to do it, once when he was five years old, he was caught by Xiao Weidong by stealing a neighbor's egg, hanging on a tree and beating for half a night, his ex-wife was still there at the time, and he knelt down for him for this reason and did not stop his tyranny, but since that time Xiao Daqian has never acted like that.

Kang Yunmei glanced at him reproachfully, the husband and wife for many years knew the roots, and they could hear that Xiao Weidong had calmed down: "Look, this is also the child's mind, I think the eldest is becoming more and more sensible, and he has begun to share the affairs of the family." There is a difference between having a daughter-in-law and not having a daughter-in-law. He said that the ququ buds are stubble every three or four days, and he has no time to go to school, so if you have time to pick them and send them to the city market, you can mix them more or less. I've calculated that three yuan a trip will cost me twenty or thirty yuan a month, which will catch up with the wages of office workers. If you don't go, I'll go! ”

Xiao Weidong shook his head: "I'll go, I'll go, how can I not go." You can't ride a bike. I asked the silly boy where he was plucking the bud. ”

Xiao Daqian already had five yuan of private money in his pocket, he didn't tell his father, nor did he use it to repay the money borrowed from his stepmother Kang Yunmei, he decided to give the money and the peach cake he bought to Yang Erni, the news that the girl passed the pre-selection made him very excited, and he always felt that he also had his own credit, he wanted to say "You are awesome" to the girl, but unfortunately there was no chance.

During this time, Xiao Daqian fell into an inexplicable joy, and he became more and more comfortable in learning in the class, and he was one of the few people who raised his hand when he asked questions in class, and Mr. Jin, who taught Chinese, chatted with him several times and recommended him to read more books related to composition, so that his friends were jealous. Li Yilang asked him privately: "Xiao Da, is it that Jin Yunfei has taken a fancy to you, otherwise how could Jin Mazi be so good to you?" "Mr. Jin has a few pockmarks on his face, which is why he has this nickname.

Xiao Daqian shouted: "Get out, you dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth!" He thought to himself: The girl I like is not inferior to Jin Yunfei at all, what do you know?

Xiao Daqian waited for Yang Erni for a long time on the dirt road from Song Lou to school the next day, but it was obvious that Yang Erni saw him, but she turned her head and came back, and after a while, she walked over with another female classmate, ignoring Xiao Daqian who was standing on the side of the road stupidly. As if they didn't know each other at all.
