Chapter Seventy-Four: The Storm Rises (1)
Mingxia followed behind her and closed the balcony door, and asked worriedly, "Are you worried about Fangcao-"
Ling Ling sneered: "They are not so stupid, the same means come twice." She covered her nose, "But the smell is so bad, can you let her hurry up?" β
Mingxia smiled bitterly: "There is still a sack that has not been opened." β
Ling Ling couldn't wait to hit the wall: "How can this make people live?" β
"Why don't we go to the town's travel lodge for another night?"
"Where's the money?" Ling Ling looked at her. "My dad said it clearly when he sent me here. Only give me 100 yuan a month for living expenses. The school is not allowed to open the back door for me to make something special. Forget it - we have all been reduced to Nanping, what are we putting on the eldest lady's shelf? β
Mingxia comforted her: "We will definitely go back." β
Ling Ling sneered: "Of course. β
She looked at the herbs in the room that were still sticking cardboard boxes. Moaned: "Alas, it's annoying." β
The two entered the house, and Mingxia took a piece of cardboard and began to study.
Fangcao was startled: "Mingxia, I'll just come by myself." Don't touch it. β
Mingxia smiled: "I'll take a look." Yerba Cao, how much money can you make making these cardboard boxes? β
Fangcao kept saying: "You can only earn one dollar by doing a hundred." β
Mingxia and Lingling glanced at each other. Ling Ling blurted out unexpectedly: "Then how many do you have here?" β
"Not much. Just three hundred. Yerba smiled, "I'll be able to finish it tomorrow afternoon." β
I only earn three dollars for two days - Ling Ling's expression is stagnant.
She used to have only an abstract understanding of poverty, but now she has a concrete cognition.
It's really TMD poor.
Mingxia tried to glue up the cardboard box, and made a few and it was easy. also proudly showed Ling Ling: "How is it?" Am I doing it neatly? β
Ling Ling nodded reluctantly: "Not bad." β
Fangcao smiled: "Mingxia's hands are so skillful. Put it down, it's uncomfortable for the pulp lake to get on your hands. β
Mingxia sat next to Fangcao and talked to her: "When I was a child, the eldest sister in the family also worked while studying to make money. But she's skillful and playful. I can earn more than a dozen dollars every month. β
Yerba Grass was unsurprised. It turned out that Mingxia was also from a bitter family.
The two sat together chatting while sticking cardboard boxes, and they didn't know that it was getting dark.
Mingxia's back was a little sore when she got up.
A smell of food wafted into her nose: "It's so fragrant." β
Meals are not provided on weekends. Ling Ling could only go out of school to the restaurant in the town to pack meals and come back.
Garlic pork ribs, stir-fried choy sum, scrambled eggs with tomato and a box of fragrant white rice.
Mingxia couldn't help but pull the herb to the table: "The dishes of Yuntao Hotel?" β
"Of course." Ling Ling picked up a garlic pork rib and "Eat it hot." β
Yerba Grass was at a loss.
"I've got dinner ready." She looked at the cold half of the steamed bun in the small bowl on her table, which was saved from today's breakfast, half of which was eaten for lunch, and half of it was left.
Mingxia responded: "That steamed bun? Okay, you can put some hot dishes in the steamed buns, and it will be delicious. Hurry, hurry. Otherwise, Lingling will be eaten up. β
Fangcao silently ate half a steamed bun with cabbage. Mingxia was not reluctant, but said: "Lingling, you bought too much." Yerba has a small appetite and the weather is hot. If you can't eat so many dishes, you have to waste them. β
Fangcao looked at the meat and eggs left in the lunch box, and hurriedly ate them: "Don't waste, don't waste." β
After eating, she took the initiative to wash the dishes quickly, and sat back on the side of the bed to stick the paper box.
That night, Ling Ling slept groggily in the smell of the pulp lake: No. She's got to find a way to deal with these abominable pulp lakes!
A few days later, Ling Ling received a large package, which she didn't open and stuffed directly under the bed.
Another weekend, Ling Ling shouted to Fangcao, who was about to go out to buy goods: "Don't stick cardboard boxes today." β
Fangcao's voice, my heart was sad and my eyes were red: "I, I-"
Don't stick to the cardboard box, no money for your parents, how can they let themselves continue to study?
"Mingxia will teach you to play the rope." Ling Ling pulled out the package, and as soon as he opened it, the dormitory was full of shiny jewels.
Fangcao hasn't come back to her senses yet: "It's so beautifulβ"
"It's just a fake pearl with artificial crystal." Lingling gestured under the windowsill in size. "Our dorm is ugly. I've got to get dressed up. What about you, give me a curtain of dreams. The rest of the skewers are ready, let Mingxia help you sell them. Not better than you stick a cardboard box? β
Mingxia has already taken out a drawing to study.
"Yerba grass, it's not very difficult. Let's try it, shall we? β
Fangcao picked up a handful of crystals, and her thin white face was haloed: "Can you really make money?" β
Mingxia smiled and said, "Earn." This package is ready. You can earn at least thirty bucks. β
Fangcao's eyes were red.
How can she meet so many good people?
Principal Shan came to persuade her to go to high school several times and covered her own tuition and miscellaneous fees. The village chief persuaded his parents several times that only when he became successful in his studies could he make a lot of money. When I arrived at school, I met a group of fairy-like roommates in the dormitory.
Tears fall on the crystal, refracting the crystal light.
There is no smell of pulp lake in the house, and there are more beautiful jingling sounds, and Ling Ling can finally read with peace of mind.
But within a few days of the peaceful days, some age-related gossip suddenly appeared in the school, and it was very noisy.
At the beginning, it was probably because Ling Ling's temperament and appearance were too outstanding. Stand out from the crowd of dusty students. It soon aroused the curiosity of many students.
Ling Mei also encountered it, and she blocked it back on the grounds that she had just met and was not familiar with it.
But after the midterm exams, strange rumors began to circulate among students.
On this day, Xiaoqin put aside Xie Hang at lunch, and pulled Ling Mei, Qingxue and Fangcao in the cafeteria: "Have you all heard about Xu Lingling?" β
Ling Mei frowned: "What's the matter?" β
"You guessed it right. She is really the son of a high-ranking cadre in Guangzhou. Xiaoqin's tone was full of shock.
"So?" Qingxue asked casually, "Then why did she come to our school?" β
"She's said to have committed a crime. That's why I was driven here by the adults in the family. β
Fangcao was slightly excited: "Committing a crime? What could she do?! β
Xiaoqin looked around and lowered her voice: "I heard that she bullied her classmates before the high school entrance examination." Got caught. β
Ling Mei was stunned, and several people said in unison: "Impossible." β
Fangcao hurriedly said: "Lingling's face is cold and his heart is hot. That's not the kind of person. β
Xiaoqin's eyebrows fluttered: "I don't think it's possible either." Her person, although she has a cold appearance and likes to look at people through her nostrils, is actually very good. Besides, she also gave us her own English-Chinese dictionary. So I helped her dispel the rumors in the class. Rumors stop at the wise, right? β
Ling Mei nodded: "You did the right thing." β
There was a sudden moment of tranquility in the bustling cafeteria. Ling Mei looked back, but it was Ling Ling and Mingxia who came to the cafeteria.
"Damn." Xiaoqin whispered, "Miss Xu usually brings Mingxia back to the dormitory to eat for her. Why did you come to the cafeteria today? β
A discussion sounded in his ears: "Is that her?" It's not easy to mess with when you look at it. β
"Relying on the power of the family, I don't know how many people I bullied in the previous middle school."
"Shhh
"What are you afraid of, do you dare to do it?"
