Chapter 23: Candy
23. Candy
What I bought for Erniu was a pair of coffee-colored corduroy pants, a pink corduroy jacket, and Xiaobao's was a set of royal blue corduroy.
Because the beginning of school is early autumn, the clothes they are wearing now are old and thin, and corduroy is just right for autumn.
For Erniu and Xiaobao, this is the first time in their lives to wear new clothes, and they used to pick up what their sister left behind. This dress is also the most expensive, before, although Zhang Daniu could also wear new clothes, but she bought cheap cotton and khaki. These are not as good as corduroy, which is easy to wear and warm, and looks good.
When paying, Zhao Chunhua and Zhang Yu competed to pay, and Zhao Chunhua said that what he paid for his younger brothers and sisters was considered a part of his heart.
Zhang Yu insisted on refusing, she said that it was also the first time she bought clothes for her younger siblings, so let her pay!
"Big girl, I know you're so strong, but girls are too strong to be likable, you have to give others a chance to serve you."
"Brother Chunhua, your salary is only fifty yuan a month, and you spent twenty yuan all of a sudden, which is almost half of your salary."
"I don't buy it every month, and besides, I go home for dinner, I don't need to pay my salary to my family, I have a small treasury, and this money doesn't affect my life, but you, don't you still have to do business? You still have to buy household goods, buy food, pay rent, how long can you support that little money? ”
When Zhang Yu was stunned, he stuffed the money into the salesman's hand.
Then he took Xiaobao's hand and walked to other areas.
Zhang Yu then followed.
"This is the only time, not an example!"
"Big girl, buy a dress yourself! You're a big girl, you should dress pretty. That's the adult costume over there, go see if there's one that suits you. ”
"My clothes, at first glance, are quite rustic, but compared to my younger brothers and sisters, they are very good, there are seventy percent new, and if you can save it, save a little! After making money, I will change my face and dress as beautiful as a girl in the city. ”
Zhang Yu felt that he was already very beautiful, and if he dressed beautifully, it was too eye-catching and not good.
On the one hand, she can't spend her money on dressing up now, and the problem of eating has not been solved! On the other hand, wear ordinary clothes, in line with the identity of a small stall vendor, low-key people, often able to cause less unnecessary trouble.
In the end, Zhang Yu bought some daily necessities, toothpaste, toothbrushes, cups, etc.
In the village, no one has the habit of brushing their teeth, and when they get to the city, Zhang Yu wants to cultivate these hygiene habits of his younger siblings.
When Zhao Chunhua sent them home, it was already dark.
Zhao Chunhua stood at the door.
"Big girl, let me remind you, take some of your money and go to the bank to save it! It's also inconvenient to carry it with you all day. ”
"I know, I saw a bank just now, and tomorrow, I'll temporarily save the unplanned money."
After returning home, Erniu and Xiaobao were very happy because they bought new clothes, and they couldn't wait to take out the new clothes and change them when they got home.
Looking at their little faces that were slightly red because of excitement, Zhang Yu was full of emotion, and his determination to make money was even stronger.
"In the future, when the eldest sister makes money, she will buy more and more beautiful clothes for you to wear, tonight, let you be happy and happy, wear it for a while, tomorrow, still wear the original set, wash clothes, and wear it when school starts."
Xiaobao was wearing new clothes, carrying a small schoolbag, and proudly said in front of Zhang Yu: "Sister, do you think I look like a primary school student?"
"Like, too similar, there is no child more like a primary school student than Xiaobao."
"Xiaobao, you have a schoolbag on your back, you are already a preparatory primary school student, from now on, you have to prepare for being a primary school student."
"How to prepare!"
"From today on, learn to read, learn to write, and let the second sister teach you."
"Erniu, from now on, you are Xiaobao's teacher, you are responsible for teaching Xiaobao well, making him recognize three words a day, and teaching him to write. I also have to teach him to count, and before school starts, teach him to count within a hundred, and add and subtract within ten. Can you do it? ”
"Of course I can, I'm already a fourth-grade elementary school student, and this first-grade knowledge can't be difficult for me."
"Do you hear that? Xiaobao, when the second sister teaches you to study in the future, she will be your teacher, and you must listen to her. ”
Wearing new clothes and carrying a new schoolbag, Xiaobao was in a happy mood and agreed very happily.
"I listen to the eldest sister and the second sister."
"Obedient babies have candy to eat."
Zhang Yu took out two candies like magic, one for Xiaobao and one for Erniu.
Xiaobao took the candy and said happily: "I have eaten this candy, and Grandpa Zhao bought it when he came to our house before."
Xiaobao peeled off the candy wrapper and put the fruit candy in his mouth, his expression intoxicated.
The second girl didn't eat it and put it in her pocket.
"Erniu, why don't you eat sugar?"
"I ...... Reluctantly, keep it and eat slowly. ”
Zhang Yu felt a little sad, but it was just a penny of fruit candy, and this child was reluctant to eat it.
"Eat! There is nothing to be reluctant to, the eldest sister can afford it, and there will be every day in the future. ”
Xiaobao jumped up excitedly.
"Really, there's sugar every day."
"Yes! Didn't I just say that? Obedient babies have candy to eat. As long as you do what you are told every day, you will have candy to eat. ”
Xiaobao cheered.
Yingzi said: "Girl, our business hasn't started yet, so you spend money like this......"
"A penny and a piece of candy make them so happy, it's worth it, and as their eldest sister, I'm reluctant to spend even a penny, I can't earn it, and I don't deserve to be their eldest sister."
Zhang Yu took out another piece of candy, peeled the candy paper, and stuffed it into Yingzi's mouth.
"You eat too."
Yingzi stepped back and waved her hand.
"I won't eat it, leave it to the two of them!"
"You're welcome! It's just a penny thing, and I can't afford to hire you? After making money, I invite you to eat more and better things. ”
Zhang Yu forced the sugar into Yingzi's mouth.
The sweetness in Zhang Yu's mouth permeated her tongue, she didn't understand why the big girl was so confident since she entered the city, and she was not afraid of this strange place at all, promising her younger brothers and sisters to let them live in their own good houses in the future, promising to let them live a good life in the future, so that Xiaobao would have meat to eat every day, buy more new clothes to wear, and buy them candy to eat every day......
She said she would make money, make a lot of money, as if there was gold everywhere here, just bend down and pick it up.
Why is she also from Dongyang Village, and she is also from the city for the first time to this strange place, but she is full of worries and anxieties about the future, but the girl is full of confidence.
