Xiuye was still wearing the wide earthy yellow coat given by the second uncle, the jet-black bangs were tightly stained on her forehead by her sweat, and the thin figure saw Xiao Zhengping's nose sour.

Xiao Zhengping knows that until the 90s, technical secondary schools are fragrant, and many people will choose technical secondary schools when they are faced with a choice, because secondary school graduates can be assigned jobs, so that people once thought that high school was not as good as secondary school, so it is understandable for Xiuye to think so.

After calming down, Xiao Zhengping unloaded the basket and put it on the side of the road.

"Ye'er, brother asked you, how much money have we saved in the past few days?"

Xiao Zhengping hadn't calculated the detailed accounts, he had roughly estimated that it should be between one hundred and fifteen hundred, and he thought that Xiuye would also answer such a number.

Who knew that Xiuye only blinked a few times, so he replied directly: "Counting the ten yuan that the township gave me, and the rest today, there are a total of one hundred and ninety-seven yuan, six cents and five cents." ”

Xiao Zhengping's eyes lit up after hearing this, not only because of Xiao Xiuye's excellent mental arithmetic ability, but also because this little girl remembered the accounts so clearly.

"Okay, brother asks you again, aside from my brother's hard work and the cost of studying, if you are allowed to choose by yourself, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?"

Xiao Xiuye pursed her lips, she knew her eldest brother's intentions, and she also knew that her intentions had been seen through by her eldest brother, so she said: "I miss high school, I miss college, I want to go out to see the world, and I want to be a useful person in the future, but ~~"

Without waiting for Xiuye to finish saying "but", Xiao Zhengping waved his hand and interrupted her, "It's nothing, brother still wants to ask you, after these few days, do you think brother can make a lot of money?" ”

This sentence made Xiao Xiuye happy, if the money earned by the eldest brother in the past few days is placed in the team, no one can earn it in a year, even if it is placed in the whole township, I am afraid that few people can earn it. What's more, she also heard it just now, the eldest brother is going to see some big boss in two days, not to mention anything else, just rush to the eldest brother's momentum, as long as he keeps this momentum, Xiuye thinks that the eldest brother will be able to get ahead sooner or later.

So Xiuye nodded vigorously.

Xiao Zhengping smiled when he saw this, "Isn't this over!" Remember my brother's words, study carefully, read as much as you can, and my brother promises to provide you to the end. ”

After speaking, Xiao Zhengping picked up the bamboo basket and led Xiuye home.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhengping asked Xiuye to change the newly bought clothes, and brushed his hair and clothes, and the two went to the brigade supply and marketing cooperatives with the money.

Xiuye was already very good-looking, but in the past few days, she has seen meat, and her face is a little ruddy, and with the new clothes, the whole person looks very well-behaved.

When Li Shuiquan saw Xiuye, his mouth opened widely, but as soon as he spoke, he immediately showed his essence of not being big or small, "Ye'er, is this going to get married?" ”

Both brothers and sisters knew who Li Shanglang was, so they were not angry.

"Uncle, two bottles of wine, a pound of sugar, and two cans of canned fruit, get me three portions like this." Xiao Zhengping pointed to the things on the shelves and ordered.

Li Shuiquan was well-informed, he had heard about Xiao Zhengping's sale of mushrooms early in the morning, and he was not ambiguous immediately, and brought up the things that Xiao Zhengping wanted one by one.

"I said Pingzi, it looks different, this money is spent, one of our brigades is counted as one, and I have never been as bright as you."

Xiao Zhengping quipped: "No, Mrs. Yan is not open?" Accountant Hu is not open? ”

Li Shuiquan snorted with his nose, "Mrs. Yan is barely one, even if the surname is Hu, it's more difficult to buy something than a girl." ”

After speaking, Li Shuiquan glanced at Xiao Zhengping, "You see that you have spent so much money, my little account~~"

Xiao Zhengping smiled and said to Ye Yi, "Ye'er, pay for it!" ”

So Xiuye settled it together with Xiao Zhengping's credit.

Seeing Li Shuiquan counting the money seriously, Xiao Zhengping leaned on the counter and quipped: "Uncle, what am I talking about, pay back the money before the tobacco leaves are sold, what's the matter, there are still two months before the closing of the acquisition station, and the money will come!" ”

Li Shuiquan counted the money happily, didn't have time to pay attention to him, and replied casually: "That's, that's." ”

Xiao Zhengping didn't give up, "Then do you still want me to die?" ”

One sentence immediately made Li Shuiquan stop the movements in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhengping, and his face turned red.

"Pingzi, what are you doing here? Where can I hope you die, you don't know my mouth, Hu Zou Zou all day long, don't go to your heart! ”

Li Shuiquan was rarely flustered by his words, Xiao Zhengping was angry, and he didn't fight to the death.

"I'm kidding you, why are you so serious? Really, my family makes a joke on my face, so we won't talk when we meet in the future? ”

Hearing this, Li Shuiquan's frozen face relaxed, "No, where can you not speak, that, Ye'er, you spend your brains studying, my uncle invites you to eat canned food." As he spoke, Li Shuiquan handed another bottle of canned peaches.

Xiuye naturally pushed and procrastinated, Xiao Zhengping stood aside and watched the fire, and when he saw the meaning, he said: "Ye'er, take it, this is our own uncle, if you don't take it, you will see the outside!" ”

Li Shuiquan also tried his best to help: "That is, the family doesn't talk to each other, and they will come to my uncle to get whatever they want to eat in the future." ”

It wasn't until Xiao Zhengping led Xiuye out of the distance that Li Shuiquan reached out and wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and secretly thought while wiping it: "This stinky boy, he has changed his temperament and even carries a knife when he speaks, look at this sentence and poke it!" No, it looks like we'll have to take it easy. ”

------

On the way to the uncle's house, Xiao Zhengping asked Xiao Xiuye, "Ye'er, how did you meet that Sister Feng'er?" ”

Xiuye replied: "During the winter vacation last year, the township picked me up to get condolences, and Sister Feng'er brought them. The township leader said that I would go to work in the supply and marketing cooperatives after finishing junior high school, and Sister Feng'er chatted with me a little more, and that's how we met. ”

"Take condolences? Why didn't I know? ”

Xiuye glanced at the eldest brother angrily, "Weren't you busy serving the table at that time?" Uncle led me there! ”

Xiao Zhengping coughed dryly twice, and quickly changed the topic, "Oh, that's it." Hey, I think her character is okay, in the future, when you go to the township to study, you have to have someone to take care of you, or, let's make friends? ”

"Actually, Sister Feng'er is also a hard-working person, she married a man and never had a baby, her in-laws dislike her, and I heard that her man often beats her."

Xiao Zhengping didn't expect Xiuye to be a little, so he frowned and asked, "Where did you hear this?" ”

"What the township leader said, Sister Feng'er's man works at the agricultural machinery station."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the gate of the Uncle's Courtyard.

It is said that when the Xiao family was the most developed, the entire back mountain and the fields around the back mountain belonged to the Xiao family.

When Xiao Zhengping's grandfather split up, he originally planned to build three houses, one for each of the three brothers.

But Xiao Kunshan didn't want it, saying that it was a tree to move the dead and a person to live, and he had to move out to live, so only two houses were built in this house, one for Xiao Kunguo and one for Xiao Kunshui, Xiao Kun is a girl, and she has no share.

At this time, there was smoke in the flue-cured tobacco ovens of the two houses, and Xiao Zhengping knew that it was the busiest season for the eldest uncle and the second uncle to smoke flue-cured tobacco.
