Chapter 1182: Bright Eyes and Bright Hearts
Since the matter has been decided, Old Man Xing started to act with Ripples, after all, time waits for no one, but the two of them are very low-key, and they are doing things on the grounds that Ripples went to the county seat to review their bodies.
With the help of the school teacher, Ripple rented a small yard with only two main rooms, that is, the cooking stove was built in the corner of the yard, but a shed was built, and the yard was also very narrow.
The only thing that Old Man Xing values is that it is very close to the school where Ripple is studying, it takes eleven or two minutes to walk, and his daughter can solve three meals a day at home, and she doesn't have to walk at night when she gets home from school, and there is a yard where they can put their small carts.
Therefore, the Xing family paid a year's rent at one time, which also shows that their old couple is here to take care of their children's studies, and there is nothing messy.
The owner saw that the old couple was simple, the ripples were clear-eyed, and there was a teacher as a guarantee, so he confiscated the deposit and only collected a year's rent at one time.
This time, he didn't hide it from the villagers, only said that Ripple was not in good health and couldn't farm the land, so in order to have a good future, he still sent his child to repeat his studies for a year and work hard to get into college again.
The people in the village just felt that the old couple of the Xing family really loved their little daughter, which made the girls who were not welcomed at home envious and jealous, but the three sisters-in-law of the Xing family were extremely unhappy and began to blow the wind in the ears of the men, as if the ripples spent their money on reading.
The three brothers were scolded by their father once before, although they were unwilling, but they didn't say anything, after all, the money was paid by the Li family to the little sister, and they couldn't remember it, but this time the little sister was studying, and it was her father's money that they were a little unhappy.
The three of them discussed, and came to the door the next night, in the name of visiting their parents, in fact, they told Old Man Xing that they should not spend too much money on their little sister, they would marry sooner or later, and the old couple would still rely on their son for their old age in the future.
Old man Xing knocked his cigarette pouch and pot on the table leg, and said with a calm face:
"It's been split up at the beginning, just take care of your three little families, as for how much money I spend on my sister, it has nothing to do with you, and my sister didn't spend the money in your three brothers' pockets to study.
My sister's body is like this now, I don't know what will happen in the future, her reputation is also tired because of Li Xiangjun, in addition to studying to give yourself a way out, do you want to keep your sister all the time, or just find someone to marry your sister? ”
"Dad, that's not what we meant."
Boss Xing said curtly.
"And what do you mean?"
Old man Xing lifted his eyelids and glanced at his three sons coldly, his eyes full of disappointment.
It is said that raising children to prevent old age, now look at their three sons, after having their own small family, they are all trying to pull things to their own home, for fear that they will take advantage of less.
The youngest daughter also knew that she would not let the old couple work hard to farm the land, and she would take them to live in the county, and her three sons were eager to squeeze the last drop of bone marrow out of his body.
The three of them were a little uncomfortable with their father's eyes, so they made an excuse to leave the small courtyard of their parents' house.
"Big brother, dad is determined to live with his sister!"
Xing Lao Er said unhappily.
"They have money in their hands now, and when they run out of money, they have to come back to the village obediently."
Boss Xing said disdainfully.
"Big brother, do you mean that your father and mother have money in their hands? Where did the money come from? ”
Xing Laosan interjected and asked, after all, how much is the harvest in a year, how much money can be exchanged, they only need to calculate it to know a rough idea, plus the father and mother are old, and they can't do it anymore, so how much money can they earn from two acres of land, enough to eat and drink for themselves and save a dowry for their younger sister, how can there be surplus money.
"Didn't the Li family lose money!"
"That's enough money to drink a few pills."
Xing Laosan pouted.
"Drink a few less pairs and you won't save money."
Xing Lao Er said smartly.
"Then let's go find my sister?"
Xing Laosan said hesitantly.
"What are you looking for? Let her give us the money? She's not stupid, how could she be willing. ”
Boss Xing snorted coldly.
"Then watch my father and mother go to the county with my sister?"
Xing Laosan said unwillingly.
"Do you think the county is good? Everything costs money, and how long can they spend the money they save? If you don't have money, you will naturally come back, and when the time comes, we will take turns to come to the door to care, my father's heart will definitely be towards us, my sister is going to marry out after all, we are sons, and the things of the Xing family are all the three of us. ”
Boss Xing's analysis is the Tao.
"Okay, then listen to the eldest brother, anyway, we have persuaded it, Dad is willing to let the money in his hand go down the drain, and we can't care about it, when the old couple can't do it, they will naturally think of us."
After the three of them discussed, they stopped coming to the door, and the three sisters-in-law also had the idea of watching Ripples' jokes, thinking that Ripples went to the county because they had no face to stay in the village, so they waited for Ripples to come back after falling off the list again, and then they would laugh at each other.
The three brothers of the Xing family couldn't control their parents, and finally Ripple took the old couple to study in the county smoothly.
After the start of school, Ripples' life is very regular, getting up at five o'clock every morning, first playing a set of boxing in the yard, exercising, and then helping the old couple of the Xing family to prepare the things for the stall, and the family of three went out at six o'clock.
When I got to the school gate to set up the stall, Xing's mother began to fry the cakes, and the first pancake cabbage after making it was Ripples' breakfast, Ripples sat on the bench next to the stall, eating while sucking the hot soup, which made people feel warm when they saw it, and many students came to eat this bowl of hot soup.
The soup of the Xing family is not static, egg soup, rice soup, millet soup, corn and hazelnut soup, and Hu spicy soup come in turns, so that children who go to school in the winter can eat a mouthful of hot.
The most important thing is that the price is fair, an ordinary pancake and cabbage only costs two and a half cents, if there is a meat dish, it is a triangular five, and the soup is two cents and a bowl, which is economical and affordable, and many students like to buy breakfast at the Xingjia stall.
Of course, the old couple of the Xing family also paid great attention to food hygiene under the reminder of Ripples, both of them were wearing a dark blue coat, a gray apron, a gray hat, covering their hair, and wearing a mask sewn by Ripples for the two, which looked very formal.
Xing's mother only cares about pancakes and vegetables, and Old Man Xing only collects money, and his hand that has touched the money will never touch the food, which makes people feel at ease when they see it, even the teacher who presides over the morning reading at the school will also buy a pancake and cabbage for breakfast at Xing's house.
Generally, in this case, the hot soup of the old couple is free for the teacher, and the teacher is asked to take care of the ripples.
Ripple didn't feel that there was any shame in her parents setting up a stall at the school gate, they all ate by their ability, and she also took the initiative to help the classmates bring breakfast, and the business development was not bad.
Of course, there are always two classmates in each class who look down on people, sarcastically saying that Ripple's family is doing small business and cannot be put on the stage.
