"Our team won first place. ”

"Really?"

"Is there a bonus?"

"Yes, I've got it on my desk in the room, you can take a look. ”

"Good. ”

Qi Xiaoyu happily ran to see what the bonus was, pushed away the room where Jiang Zhidong lived, and walked to the desk.

There was a crystal trophy on the desk, and a red envelope, which she picked up and led the child out the door.

"How much money is this red envelope? Have you seen it?"

Her voice was light, joyful, and she had a smile on her face.

"I haven't seen it, do you want to take a look?"

Jiang Zhidong was stir-frying, and his voice was very hearty.

"Then I'll see. ”

The headlight at the entrance of the hall was on, very bright, and she opened the red envelope, which contained 100 yuan.

"Mom, why are there so many?"

"How much?"

"What about 100?"

"Then let's add a few more dishes today, what do you want to eat? I bought a lot of dishes and came back. ”

"I'll do whatever it takes. ”

She put the red envelope back on the desk, picked up the child and showed him her father's trophy.

"Look, little potato, this is a trophy, your dad got it. ”

"In the future, you will be as good as Dad!"

Qi Xiaoyu smiled, sighed, and sighed in his heart, it's better to read, look, this is a debate competition, or organized by the school, so much money is given.

wants her to sell clothes, and the net profit is only 100 yuan a month.

This 100 yuan is enough for two months' living expenses for the family!

She touched the little potato's head and said with a smile, "Let your father teach you to read and write tonight, learn pinyin, and learn foreign languages, we can't fall behind." ”

After saying that, a voice sounded outside the door, and it turned out that the old lady of the landlady heard their words and came in to see.

"Xiaoyu, what kind of competition were you talking about? What kind of prize money?"

"Speaking of the debate competition, Jiang Zhidong and their team won the first place, hum, this is the trophy and bonus. ”

She gestured to something on the desk.

The old lady of the landlady was curious, took a step to look, saw clearly the trophy printed with the school emblem of Shang'an University, and sighed.

"Your Zhidong is really amazing, I heard that Shanghai University has always liked to hold debate competitions, just to select students with good eloquence, and when the time comes, they will leave a note on the file, and when they graduate, when they are assigned jobs, they will go much better than most ordinary students in the same school. ”

"Really?"

Qi Xiaoyu was curious.

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it, and it was like this at this school many years ago. The old landlady spoke,

Qi Xiaoyu nodded, she was naturally happy that Jiang Zhidong could have a good place to go for his assigned work, and in her previous life, she also remembered that Jiang Zhidong did stay in a very good department.

The mirror-like moon hung in the sky, shining brightly on the earth, and the occasional burst of dog chirping nearby broke through the silence of the night.

Little Potato heard the sound of the dog and grabbed his mother tightly, with excitement in his eyes.

Qi Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, "You like puppies?"

Little Potato was a little ignorant and nodded.

"Okay, next time I'll go see whose dog has given birth to a puppy, and I'll buy you one and come back to play with you as a playmate. ”

"Do you want to buy a dog? Recently, a dog in the Yu family next door gave birth to seven puppies, so you can go and ask them if they sell them. The old lady of the landlady spoke on the side.

"His little paparazzi should be very cute, with yellow fluffy hair, cute and beautiful. ”

The old landlady continued.

Qi Xiaoyu nodded, interested in the little paparazzi, and was ready to eat at night, and called Jiang Zhidong to go to Yu's house next door to have a look, and let Xiao Tudou choose a little paparazzi by himself.

The weary moon hid in the clouds to rest, leaving a few stars as if to keep watch, and the night fell into infinite silence.

After dinner, they went to the next door neighbor's house and bought a little paparazzi, fluffy and cute.

Late spring and early summer.

The heat enveloped the earth, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the sparse stars blinked happily.

Summer goes to the beginning of autumn, autumn goes to winter.

Soon it was the end of the year.

The small river in the suburbs is crystal clear on weekdays, and many colorful lotus flowers have grown on the river surface, and the branches and leaves of the big willow trees by the river have turned yellow and withered.

On the high mountains in the distance, the trees are no longer luxuriant, not green, they are as blue as washing, and the brilliant sun swept the entire Chang'an City with the cold wind, blowing whirring on the Dali Pedestrian Street, blowing up the dead leaves on the ground.

At night, a thin layer of snow slips down from the night sky, covering the city, covered in silver and shimmering with a cold silver light.

The business of clothing stores is getting better and better, perhaps because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and everyone loves to buy new clothes to welcome the new year.

It was too cold, and everyone wore thick cotton clothes, cotton pants, down jackets, hats, and scarves, wrapping themselves tightly and keeping warm.

Three days before the end of the year, the store was closed, and the three women sat on the big kang in Qi Xiaoyu's room and counted the money.

Little Potato was taken by his father to the next room to sit at the desk and write, and a little yellow-haired dog that had grown up was lying under the desk.

The three women began to count and count, and after deducting the costs, they made a lot of money this year.

The three of them combined, 50 percent of the money was divided, and the remaining 50 percent was reserved for the working capital of the store and the opening of a branch next year to buy a small truck.

This time she had money, and the store was selling clothes again, so she had already picked out two clothes that fit herself and Little Potato.

Even picked out a good dress for Jiang Zhidong.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law did the same, picked out clothes for themselves, and prepared New Year's goods for the whole family.

In their opinion, Xiaoyu has a bad relationship with her in-laws, and they try their best to ask Xiaoyu and Jiang Zhidong to go back to their hometown for the New Year together.

Qi Xiaoyu agreed, and Jiang Zhidong also wanted to go home to see.

Prepare some New Year's goods, send some to the landlord and two old people, and hand over the dog to them to trouble them to take care of it for half a month.

Afterwards, they got on the train together and prepared to go back to the countryside.

This year, I made money, and everyone is in a good mood.

The material of the little potatoes' clothes is much better, and people have gained more weight.

Qi Xiaoyu changed into an orange padded jacket, helped the child dress tightly, wrapped herself in a white scarf, and sat on the train to chat with her two sisters-in-law.

The sister-in-law smiled and chatted while eating melon seeds, and the carriage was a little lively, and most of the people seemed to be rushing home for the New Year.

Some people have sitting tickets, some people are standing tickets, some people wear bright clothes, and some people wear simple and unpretentious.

Jiang Zhidong stood up and gave up his place to a middle-aged man to sit on, and he stood up and moved his muscles and bones.

Outside the window, there are some tenacious little flowers and grasses on the side of the road, they are dyed with snowflakes, and they shrink their bodies.

The bitter north wind was whistling and howling like a roaring lion, and even if you look through the window, you can imagine the wind like a knife, mercilessly hurting living beings.

As soon as they arrived at the station, everyone clutched their clothes tightly, but the wind was still too strong, and some of them poured under their clothes.

Pedestrians on the street craned their necks, some began to walk backwards, children playing were rarely seen on the side of the road, and there were not many pedestrians, and they quickened their pace to get a ride and go home.
