Chapter 86: Learning to drive
Director Bai really didn't want to be contaminated with the slightest trouble, and after negotiating the conditions with Ji Yuanhai, he took Liu Xianglan's household registration book and left.
Ji Yuanhai took a look at the flowers and plants here, most of them were okay, but some of them had really gone wrong recently.
Gao Daming really tossed around a few years ago, didn't do business, and wasted years of hard work on the hunchback Lao Gao.
"That's it."
Ji Yuanhai said to Gao Daming: "If there is no problem in three days, I will come with Sister Liu to help you take care of the flowers and plants, and then the time will officially start to count." ”
Gao Da Mingxin said that you are quite polite, how useful is it to tell me?
I'll just listen to it.
Ji Yuanhai led Liu Xianglan to look at the hut along the street, and listened to Gao Daming talk about the original pattern of his father's arrangement of flowers and plants.
When they all understood, Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan also said goodbye to Gao Daming.
Leaving this street, Ji Yuanhai pushed his bicycle and walked in front, Liu Xianglan really couldn't help but step forward excitedly and whispered: "Yuanhai, it's forty yuan a month!" Why so much money! ”
"Isn't that too much money? I don't care if I have a place to live! ”
Ji Yuanhai responded: "Now in the factory, the salary of apprentices is close to 20, and the salary of second-level workers is more than 30 yuan, as well as all kinds of worker benefits. ”
"Fifty yuan is only equivalent to the salary and benefits of a fourth-level worker, and it is even slightly inferior. Now it's only forty yuan, which seems to me to be about the same as a third-class worker at work. ”
"I help plant flowers and grass, and I have to rely on me here, isn't it as good as a third-level worker?"
Liu Xianglan nodded suddenly, and said in a low voice: "But the workers are all iron rice bowls, and they are from the city." ”
"When you change your hukou, you are also from the city." Ji Yuanhai said.
When Liu Xianglan heard this, she didn't know what to do for a while.
Confused, surprised, overwhelmed...... Only then did she really feel how the changes in the household registration and help that Ji Yuanhai said were earth-shaking changes.
It is not a rural hukou, but a county hukou, and in the future, you can buy commercial grain, and you don't have to work in the fields.
However, a new problem then arose in Liu Xianglan.
"These forty yuan are the money Yuan Hai earned; I don't have any income in the city, so what should I do if I eat and spend money in the future? ”
She didn't think about the production team, it turned out that in the production team, her life was already extremely difficult, and she didn't have much collective warmth, but she was full of gossip and white eyes; Now that she has left the production team, her household registration has to be moved, and the production team will not care if she lives or dies.
Never mind...... Yuan Hai arranged it like this, there must be a reason for Yuan Hai.
At this time, I will listen to Yuan Hai's arrangement.
Anyway, there is still some food at home, how can it be after a while, Yuan Hai and He Ling are willing to take care of Xiaohong, no matter what, they can rest assured.
Ji Yuanhai said: "Go around the county, right? promised to buy Xiaohong something delicious, but she couldn't talk without words. ”
Liu Xianglan was a little embarrassed: "Yuan Hai, how can I have any money in my hands." ”
Ji Yuanhai looked at her in surprise: "You don't think that I still need your money, right?" ”
"Let's go, celebrate the smooth cooperation today, buy more delicious food and go back, and be happy."
"Don't spend too much money." Liu Xianglan spoke.
As a result, Ji Yuanhai took her to the supply and marketing cooperatives first to buy clothes.
Liu Xianglan was taken aback: "Yuan Hai, how can anyone buy clothes directly, how expensive is that!" ”
"Besides, the clothes on me are fine, so I don't need to buy new ones."
"When you go to work in the city, you can't even drop the buttons on your clothes," Ji Yuanhai said, "I saw it last time." ”
"Then just buy a few buttons and go home and sew them on." Liu Xianglan said.
Ji Yuanhai smiled inexplicably, with Liu Xianglan's figure, since the clothes can be broken if they are tight, it will be useless to sew the buttons again, and they will definitely have to collapse again.
Instead of this, it is better to change into looser clothes, which will at least be beautiful and durable, so as not to make Liu Xianglan pout the front and pout the back, which will be embarrassing.
Especially when you are busy in the city, it is even more inappropriate to wear such clothes.
After Ji Yuanhai told Liu Xianglan the reason, Liu Xianglan was a little ashamed.
"Yuan Hai, I don't know what's going on, I naturally grew into such a reluctant body."
"It looks unlucky and unlucky, works and sways indiscriminately, gets in the way, and dresses are different from others."
"For the same fabric, if someone can make two clothes, I will make one...... I'm ......."
Unlucky? Bad luck?
Ji Yuanhai was a little speechless, what is wrong with this superb thin waist fruit?
It can only be said that an era has an era's aesthetic viewpoint, for example, the current aesthetic viewpoint is that the man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his mental state must be high-spirited and firm......
"I'm feeling good." Ji Yuanhai said.
Liu Xianglan's face brushed the ground, and it was red from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.
Is this thinking of the green yarn tent?
Ji Yuanhai was stunned, and then simply didn't explain.
"I'll buy you a set of clothes to wear in the city, and you can change them upside down."
"Buy another set of clothes for Xiaohong, buy shoes, and see what the clothes on the child's body have become."
Liu Xianglan listened to Ji Yuanhai's arrangement, and her eyes were full of soft light.
She didn't know why she remembered Wang Jinsheng's mother, who once despised and insulted herself, and every sentence was like a knife piercing her heart.
"You're a cub animal! Holding that cow-like milk bag all day long, except for eating and drinking for nothing, using my family, there is no use! ”
"You are a dead star, get out of here, who can look at you like this!"
"No one cares about you in your life, you look like you......"
Yuan Hai cares about me and loves me.
Yuan Hai, I met you in my life...... Why didn't I meet you sooner......
After coming back to her senses, Liu Xianglan hurriedly helped Ji Yuanhai save money and didn't let him spend more money on herself.
"I can buy any clothes, just pull the cloth and make it at home, and I can make my own shoes, I don't need to buy ready-made."
Ji Yuanhai was insisted on by her in three, bought two pieces of cloth, and bought needles and threads.
Ji Yuanhai bought milk candy for Wang Xiaohong, and when he wanted to buy something else, he was stopped by Liu Xianglan.
"That's all, that's enough."
"Yuan Hai, these are really enough, but don't spend any more money!"
On the way back, out of the county seat, there were green gauze tents on both sides of the road, Liu Xianglan pretended that no one saw it, hugged Ji Yuanhai's waist tightly with both hands, leaned behind him and laughed quietly.
I accidentally laughed out loud.
Ji Yuanhai was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Yuan Hai, you treat me so well." Liu Xianglan said.
"Stupid, isn't it, I let you go into the city to change your household registration, but it's all for me to be in front, and I can't arrange it for you?" Ji Yuanhai asked.
Liu Xianglan didn't want to hear this, she hugged Ji Yuanhai's waist, feeling like she was holding the tree in front of her house when she was seven or eight years old.
At that time, my father and mother had not starved to death, and there was still bark on the tree.
She was hugging the tree and smiling at her father and mother.
Dad said that he would be a carpenter, and when he got married, he would cut down the tree and make her a big sedan chair.
At that time, my father and mother laughed so happily, and they also hugged the tree and giggled.
It's the same as holding Yuanhai's waist now.
Yuanhai, Yuanhai, you don't know how important you are to me, and you don't know how good you are to me.
Liu Xianglan hugged Ji Yuanhai's waist and was reluctant to let go.
Until there were still a few miles away from Xiaoshantun, she jumped off her bicycle and asked Ji Yuanhai to go home first.
Ji Yuanhai rode his bicycle home and called Wang Xiaohong.
Hand Wang Xiaohong a toffee.
Wang Xiaohong grabbed the toffee, looked at the blue and white white rabbit over and over, and said to Ji Yuanhai: "It's good-looking, thank you Uncle Yuanhai for drawing paper for me." ”
Seeing her like this, Ji Yuanhai guessed that she had never eaten toffee, so he reached out and peeled it off.
"Eat it slowly, chew it after a while, and then chew it when it's soft."
The child was malnourished and had never eaten sweets, so he might get a mouthful of blood in his eagerness.
Therefore, Ji Yuanhai asked her to eat slowly.
Wang Xiaohong was holding the White Rabbit toffee, the milky flavor and sweetness gradually spread in her mouth, and her eyes slowly brightened.
She couldn't help but run in front of Ji Yuanhai and said, "Uncle Yuanhai, it's so delicious, what is this." ”
"It's called toffee, it's a sugar cube." Ji Yuanhai said.
"This is toffee, what is it made of, why is it so delicious?" Wang Xiaohong asked.
"Made with sugar and milk." Ji Yuanhai replied.
"Why is it so delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious thing! It's delicious! Wang Xiaohong didn't know how to describe her happiness, she ran around Ji Yuanhai, cheering deliciously, and sang a children's rhyme after a while: "I picked up a penny on the side of the road......"
Liu Xianglan returned to Xiaoshantun, and when she arrived outside Ji Yuanhai's house, she saw Wang Xiaohong singing and dancing around Ji Yuanhai through the fence, which was a joyful scene that she had rarely seen, and she couldn't help but look at it in a daze for a while.
For a moment, an illusion arose.
If this is your own home, how nice it would be if you go home by yourself.
Subsequently, Liu Xianglan blamed herself for this illusion: a kind, educated, and clean girl like Heling is Yuanhai's daughter-in-law.
What am I? How can there be such good luck? How can you think like that?
Even if she had never thought about it like this, it was just a momentary illusion just now, Liu Xianglan felt that she was a great crime, and she couldn't face Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling in her heart.
That night, under the instructions of Ji Yuanhai, Liu Xianglan stewed fish, reluctantly fried Zhizhi monkey with oil, and fried a plate of meat and beans, a plate of persimmons and eggs, plus salted duck eggs and pickles, which were already six dishes.
In addition to this, there are also white-flour steamed buns.
Ji Yuanhai told Lu Heling about the general situation, and Lu Heling was also overjoyed when she heard that things were going well, and urged Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong to eat well, and they were welcome.
Ji Yuanhai bought cloth for Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong to make clothes, and Lu Heling also nodded in agreement.
"Sister Liu is helping our family outside, you have to dress better, don't let people look down on you."
"Xiaohong too, so old, it's not good to have this set of clothes all day long."
Liu Xianglan's heart relaxed.
She knew that Lu Heling was kind-hearted, but she was also afraid that she would think too much, and she was even more afraid that she would misunderstand and delay her relationship with Ji Yuanhai.
Now that Lu Heling also agrees, Liu Xianglan can finally make new clothes and shoes for herself and Wang Xiaohong with confidence and boldness.
"By the way, Yuan Hai, if my hukou is moved, there will be no trouble on the production team's side, will it not be allowed, or what will the Wang family do, after all, I am still the daughter-in-law of the Wang family......" Liu Xianglan asked in a low voice.
"In two days, you go to the Seventh Master to talk about the change of your household registration." Ji Yuanhai said, "The Seventh Master shouldn't be difficult for you, and besides, there is no room for embarrassment here." ”
"As for the Wang family, according to the regulations of our country, after Wang Jinsheng's death, you have nothing to do with the Wang family, and you are already de facto divorced...... If it's not now, another time, I have to support you to sue the Wang family and take away some of the family property. ”
Liu Xianglan nodded, only then was she relieved.
"Then after Sister Liu goes to work, she walks back and forth to the county every day? How tiring and hard is this? Lu Heling said.
"Not really, Yuan Hai said, leave me a place to rest in that small shop, and I won't come back if it rains and snows." Liu Xianglan explained, "If it is a normal time, I get up a little early to go to the county seat and come back in the evening, it is not a big deal." ”
Lu Heling reminded her: "But you are a woman, it is not safe to travel like this, you might as well learn to ride a bicycle, and when the time comes, ride Yuanhai's bicycle back and forth, don't rush in the dark in the morning and evening." ”
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Can Sister Liu still ride a bicycle?" ”
Turning her head, Liu Xianglan was very embarrassed: "Yuan Hai, I really don't." I haven't touched a bike, so how can I ride it? ”
Ji Yuanhai took it for granted...... He thought that there were only a handful of people who couldn't ride a bike? This concept belongs to the memory brought to him, in fact, there are very few rural members who have the opportunity to touch bicycles, and there are indeed not many who can ride bicycles.
"Then, for the sake of safety, I will pick up Sister Liu for a few days, and then let her learn to ride a bicycle on the way." Ji Yuanhai said.
Liu Xianglan was afraid that it would trouble Ji Yuanhai and wanted to refuse, but Ji Yuanhai added: "I'm also on the way." ”
"Forty yuan is not taken for nothing, and I have to go to the county from time to time to have a look."
Liu Xianglan was relieved to agree.
Two days later, Liu Xianglan went to the brigade secretary Ji Baotian to tell him about the change of household registration, and Ji Baotian was also very surprised.
This widow Liu, how can she still go to the city?
Who got her out into town?
After thinking about it, I feel that Widow Liu has not worked in the past few days, and may have gone to find someone from the county town to remarry.
It's good to think about it this way.
This unlucky woman in the province walked around the village for three days and two times, looking very pitiful, and helping made people gossip, which was really disturbing.
Another day later, Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan went to the county seat again, but Liu Xianglan still left first, and Ji Yuanhai later rode to follow.
On the field road, Liu Xianglan began to learn to ride a bicycle.
Slowly fell all the way, and didn't learn.
When she arrived at the flower and herb stall of the Gao family in the county seat, Gao Daming gave her Liu Xianglan's household registration book, and Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong on it became the population living in the county.
Director Bai, this loach has made up his mind, and if he can, he won't come forward.
This attitude is also pleasing to Ji Yuanhai, after all, as soon as I meet Director Bai, I have to be highly concentrated, which is really not a good thing.
After the hukou change is completed, without the ties of the production team, Liu Xianglan can officially come to the county seat for a long time, which means that she can help in this flower shop.
On this day, Gao Daming, Liu Xianglan, and Ji Yuanhai cleaned up the flower shop again, and then Ji Yuanhai arranged Liu Xianglan in turn according to the induction, and asked her to work hard to write it down.
Some need light, while others need to avoid being sunburned.
Some need more watering, while others need less watering.
There are still six pots that are on the verge of being tossed to death by Gao Daming, and after Ji Yuanhai rescues them, let Gao Daming and Liu Xianglan change the soil and water.
This busyness, coupled with Liu Xianglan's need to record carefully, is in the evening.
Ji Yuanhai took Liu Xianglan back, and it was inevitable to learn to drive on the road, so naturally it was inevitable to stumble and collide.
The two bumped into each other, because Liu Xianglan had a lot of affection for Ji Yuanhai, so the two drilled into the green gauze tent.
In addition to her own unlucky and Kefu places, Liu Xianglan is at the mercy of Ji Yuanhai.
Including after asking Ji Yuanhai how brisk, although Liu Xianglan was stunned and felt incredible, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it could only be so.
Since this is the case, for the sake of Yuan Hai, she no longer hesitates.
The time for the two to learn to drive is not as long as the time to study in the green yarn tent.
When I went back that day, it was already dark.
Lu Heling had already cooked the meal and was waiting at home with Wang Xiaohong.
While eating, Liu Xianglan involuntarily cleared her throat.
Lu Heling looked at her suspiciously: "Sister Liu? Dry mouth? ”
"Sort of." Liu Xianglan asked.
"I'll just say don't save when you eat, just eat pickles." Lu Heling said.
Liu Xianglan nodded and quietly glanced at Ji Yuanhai.
That's not particularly bad......
At the beginning of the day, everything gradually calmed down.
A few days later, Liu Xianglan was able to ride a bicycle and go back and forth to the county seat alone.
Ji Yuanhai went to the flower shop to take care of it occasionally, and the flowers and plants were all bright and growing well.
I also went to Mr. Wang's house twice, and met Wang Zhuyun again.
Wang Zhuyun is about to start school, and he chatted with Ji Yuanhai about school life, and he was quite happy.
Occasionally, one day, a member of the Xiaoshantun production team said that Ji Yuanhai had not been out of work for some days, and the Wang family took the opportunity to talk about Lu Heling's temporary acting accountant.
The Seventh Grandfather Ji Baotian had already told Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling, so he was not in a hurry at all: the temporary accountant was not in a hurry to become official, and he would do it first if he was capable.
Some people from the Wang family asked: Ji Yuanhai doesn't work at home?
The seventh master directly asked: When Wang Laosan was an accountant, his daughter-in-law was also at home, why don't you ask Wang Laosan to go?
After all, they have torn their faces, they talk with thorns, and they are looking for trouble with each other, so you are welcome.
As for Ji Yuanhai's preparation for the college entrance examination, the seventh master can not talk too much - in his opinion, this is too difficult, so don't let other members see jokes.
After a few more days, I don't know who mentioned it: "The mourning star of our production team hasn't been working for some days, right?" ”
"The hukou has been changed to the city, and I may have remarried."
Ji Baotian's words made everyone in the production team in an uproar, and they talked a few words.
Broom star, there is actually a day to remarry?
Before you know it, another month has passed, and the corn and soybeans have begun to be harvested, and the harvest season has arrived.
Autumn is getting stronger, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
