Yu Changzhi felt that he was very interested in Li Xiu. Although the whole village doesn’t want to see Li Xiu now, Yu Changzhi He has always felt that Li Xiu is his wife; no matter what, she is the one he fell in love with back then and gave birth to a lively daughter for him.
For so many years, there has been hard work without credit, so even now that Li Xiu’s reputation has fallen to the bottom, Yu Changzhi has never thought about it, not only did not blame her but also took good care of her.
But Li Xiu made trouble again and again and trampled on other people’s good intentions and talked about his son at every turn, which made Yu Changzhi is really tired.
With a sullen face, Yu Changzhi shoved the egg into Li Xiu’s hand and said “eat this or nothing” bluntly, then turned and left.
Yu Lele has been unhappy since meeting Yu Tong. Now her mind is full of Yu Tong who is white, tender and beautiful. Yu Tong used to be dark and thin, but her facial features are good-looking. Yu Lele can still compare with her. Now Yu Tong’s complexion has regained a little bit, and she is eating better, her figure has grown a little bit, and is more well-proportioned. The 15-year-old girl is just a graceful age, and Yu Lele can’t match it.
How could she accept this? She was bored by this for a whole day, and now she heard Li Xiu and Yu Changzhi quarreling, and she was even angrier: “Mom, why are you always angry with Dad. Grandma doesn’t give money or tickets; what can Dad do? It’s nice to have an egg, we two didn’t get anything to eat, only give it all to you.”
Li Xiu couldn’t listen to these things now; she was furious. “You only know how do yell? Didn’t you see what Yu Tong was carrying today? That’s two catties of meat! One catty of it is still fatty meat!”
Fat meat is oily, and Li Xiu, who doesn’t eat meat often, naturally prefersfatty meat.
Yu Lele was also a little greedy by Li Xiu’s words. She licked her lower lip. lip and said unwillingly, “Then what should we do? The meat belongs to others, so we can’t go grab it?”
Li Xiu’s eyes brightened. “Lele, I think Yu Tong’s life got better after entering the city. Go back and find a relationship with grandmother to see if she can send you here.”
“Sun Shuhui gave her the money to buy the meat. Everyone in Yu Tong’s grandmother’s family loves her very much. There is no one in our family who will give me money to eat meat.”
Speaking of it, it’s Li Xiu’s fault. Why are her family members so silent?
“You can’t say that,” Li Xiu reprimanded, “You have to take a long-term view. In my opinion, this Yu Tong is probably mixed up with Xie Wencheng. Didn’t you see that Xie Wencheng also came to pick up Lin? Xianglian today? Is it? If it’s an ordinary relationship, how could he come along with her?”
Mentioning Xie Wencheng, Yu Lele was a little moved. I have to say that even if Xie Wencheng has no interest in Yu Lele, Yu Lele doesn’t want to give up Xie Wencheng.
As far as Yu Lele has met, no one has better appearance or a better conditions than Xie Wencheng.
“If I come to the city to go to school, can I get closer to Xie Wencheng?”
“Of course,” Li Xiu said “tsk”, “You have to fight for me and get Xie Wencheng back. I asked someone to inquire about it, and Xie Wencheng’s family has a lot of background; as long as you marry in, our family of three will not have to worry about the future.”
Yu Lele had already settled down before, but because of Li Xiu’s words, she became restless again.
Not to mention anything else, just accept that if this can really happen, she will completely win over Yu Tong!
*******************
Lin Xianglian’s usual job is fairly easy, but since Lin Xianglian came here, Yu Tong doesn’t have to live in school. She can go in and out of the supermarket freely every day, eat whatever she wants, and apply a mask if she wants, and her life is very nourishing.
On the third day after Lin Xianglian arrived in the city, Yu Tong secretly brought back a catty of lean meat from the supermarket.
“Tongtong, why are you buying meat again? Save a little money in your hand and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candy to eat. I have the meat and vegetables at home.” Lin Xianglian I thought that Yu Tong was spending her small coffers again and felt a little distressed. Well, since she has come to the city, it is for Yu Tong to live a good life.
It’s not easy for her to have some odd money in her hand, so it’s better not to fill the family all the time.
Yu Tong waved her hand and said, “Mom, it’s okay. I have a ‘financial source’ now.”
Lin Xianglian was stunned: “What? Financial source?”
“Yes,” Yu Tong pulled Lin Xianglian and whispered, “I tell you, Don’t tell others that I’m helping Brother Cheng write articles; of course, they are all positive articles. He usually doesn’t have time to write, so he entrusts me to write and will pay me.”
Lin Xianglian frowned. “This is not good. Wencheng has helped our family so much. Is it unappropriate for us to take money from others?”
Of course, Yu Tong edited the article for Xie Wencheng. Although it has 75 years old, she is afraid of this era. Very good, but dare not write things indiscriminately. She was just looking for an excuse to let Lin Xianglian believe that she had “income”, and it would be more convenient for her to get things out of the supermarket in the future.
“It’s nothing,” Yu Tong said, “I want to write for a long time. If I can help once or twice, of course I don’t need to charge money. Brother Cheng said that the articles I write can be long, and Brother Cheng will not lose money.”
Lin Xianglian was still hesitant, “Why don’t you call him home one day? and treat him to a meal.”
Although hesitant, hearing that her daughter and Xie Wencheng had such a relationship, Lin Xianglian felt a little relieved. She was really afraid that her daughter would get too close to Xie Wencheng, What would she do if she got hurt in the future?
“Okay,” Yu Tong smiled, her eyes crooked, “Grandma Xie just wanted to see you, and she was clamoring to invite you to dinner; who of you two will invite the other?”
In one sentence, Lin Xianglian’s heart, that had just let go, came back again Hanging up, she asked suspiciously: “Grandma Xie sees me? Is it Wencheng’s grandma?”
Yu Tong nodded. “Yes, Brother Cheng has been helping me with my lessons these days. I know Grandma Xie very well. She really likes me.”
Probably in the little girl’s heart, when talking about Grandma Xie likingher, Yu Tong puffed out her chest.
She is really happy. After all, she also likes Grandma Xie as a kind and kind person. Her own grandma is also a bit patriarchal. Although she is better than Granny Yu; she is not much stronger. This time, Lin Xianglian was even more worried.
Grandma Xie likes Yu Tong. Why does this sound wrong? !
*******************
After reviewing her homework, Yu Tong washed her face and then went to the supermarket to put on a mask. Masks were not popular in the 1970s. so she didn’t dare to put them on outside, so she could only find time to put them on in supermarkets. After putting on the mask, there are N skin care routines, which Yu Tong enjoys doing every day.
No way, who made her a girl.
After putting on the mask, Yu Tong looked at her small supermarket. feeling a little worried. Some time ago, she was engaged in various activities, trying to find ways to increase the turnover of the supermarket. At that time, the effect was good, with a daily net profit of more than $1,000, but after a long time, the promotional activities have not stimulated consumers to spend money. If she wants to make a lot of money, she has to think of other ways.
Yu Tong thought for a while, then turned on the small computer equipped in the supermarket, and made a form. In the future, she will have to set up a membership system, and customers who spend a certain amount can enjoy a 15% discount.
But Yu Tong has never actually met a customer, so she doesn’t know if this method can be implemented. This method is not safe; Yu Tong has to think of a few more tricks.
She gritted her teeth, thought for a long time, and solemnly picked up the phone, “Hello, can I really order everything there?”
It was still a familiar male voice, and hearing Yu Tong’s questioning tone, the man felt insulted. After all, he was also assigned by the system to serve Yu Tong here, and she actually doubted his ability? !
The man said displeasedly: “Of course, if you can’t think of it, there is nothing I can’t get!”
While biting her nails, Yu Tong struggled and said, “I want to add some more types of goods, can I? For example, sell some bags, clothes, skin care products and so on.” Her supermarket is now mainly deals in food and daily necessities. But there are also supermarkets that have some types of goods.
The man said: “Of course, but your supermarket is too small and there There are no new shelves. Where are you going to put them?”
Shelves are really a problem.
At the beginning, Yu Tong’s parents gave him this small supermarket, which was already very good, but Yu Tong really didn’t think about the size issue.
This is the selfless dedication of her parents to her. She can’t be shy and say that the supermarket is too small, right? Yu Tong sighed, and her sadness was transmitted to the man along the phone line. The man probably also felt that her voice was too stiff; he hesitated for two seconds, and said slowly: “This is not impossible to solve. You can buy the shop next door, redecorate it, and expand the area. Our housing price is not high. Calculated according to the geographical location of your supermarket, the store next door is 10,000 yuan per square meter, and there are 30 square meters in total, so if you count your discount points, 299,000 yuan will be enough.”
Yu Tong: “…” It’s really a lot of discounts. Yu Tong didn’t expect that the supermarket would still have this way of playing, and it can expand the area. If she really makes a lot of money, wouldn’t she expand a shopping mall?
But this house price is really not low for Yu Tong.
300,000, Yu Tong has only saved a little over 20,000 in total; where can she get $300,000?
Yu Tong sighed heavily.
**********************
The plan to expand the size of the supermarket was temporarily put on hold. hold, and Yu Tong took some white noodles from the supermarket the next morning, planning to roll out noodles and eat them.
Although expanding the supermarket can increase turnover, the most important thing for Yu Tong now is to fill her stomach and eat well, so Tong doesn’t want to think about the 300,000 yuan for the time being.
The street where Yu Tong and Lin Xianglian live is called Beiwei Street. and the location is quite remote, and the traffic is not convenient, but at this time, every household has a bicycle.
Most of the people living on this street are native county people, and their economic conditions are average.
Yu Tong’s family has a small yard. Lin Xianglian is diligent and quickly tidies up the yard, planning to raise two chickens in the future and grow some vegetables to support the family. After all, her salary is not very high. and she will have to pay for Yu Tong’s education in the future, so it’s better to save some money.
Lin Xianglian wanted to save money, but Yu Tong wanted to live a good life, so she would bring something home every now and then.
Neighbor Wang Linlin is a middle-aged woman over fifty years old. She has a son and a daughter. The family conditions are relatively good. She thinks she has a high level of ideological awareness and usually likes to educate people. No, she saw Yu Tong bring back meat twice in just one week, and she couldn’t help nagging through the fence: “You eat meat every few days , save some, our country is going to be strong, we all have to do our part to do it.” how can we eat meat every day like you guys?”
At that time, Yu Tong had just finished school and was about to go to Xie Wencheng’s house to make up lessons when she heard Wang Linlin chanting, and she felt a “thump” in her heart.
Every time she brought something back, she put it in her school bag did she know? Yu Tong was silent for two seconds, and then she figured it out. Although she was careful outside; when she entered the yard, she thought she was home, so she indulged herself. It is estimated that Wang Linlin saw Yu Tong bring the meat back through the gap between the fences.
But… Wang Linlin stared at her house every day? ! Just thinking about it makes Yu Tong shudder.
She hurriedly said: “Aunt Wang, my mother was not in good health a few days ago, so I begged my grandma to bring back some meat tickets, and wanted to make up for my mother. This will not be the case in the future.”
Satisfied, she put her hands behind her back, looking like a leader. “That’s it; then I won’t say anything this time, and you don’t do this next time. Now, how much money can one person share in a month, Let’s not waste of resources for the country.”
Yu Tong touched her ears, feeling a little nervous. This Wang Linlin—why does she speak so strangely?
She kept saying that it was for the good of the country, but Yu Tong I didn’t understand: how did she endanger/harm the country by eating more meat?
After apologizing to Wang Linlin, Yu Tong walked out depressedly. As soon as she walked out of the yard, she was dragged over by Madam Ma on the street, “tongtong, was it Wang Linlin who talked to you just now? Let me tell you, you should be careful with her, What’s the matter?” Don’t let her know about the matter; if she finds out, she will really stab you. In the past few years, several people in our street suffered because of her.”
Of course, Yu Tong understands the meaning of suffering, but when faced with this situation for the first time, she had no idea: “Aunt Ma, is Aunt Wang really going to report?
” Her husband is dead, and her son has not cared much about her since he got married. Now there is only one daughter in the family, and the daughter is useless. She is 26 and hasn’t married yet. Wang Linlin’s heart is twisted!”
It’s a sad situation to hear. Yu Tong nodded and said obediently: “Thank you, Aunt Ma, I will be careful in the future.”
Aunt Ma likes Yu Tong very much. Willing to come out and remind her. Otherwise, who would be too busy to take matters into their own hands? She smiled and said: “Okay, hurry up and get busy if you have something to do, I will remind you.”
Saying goodbye to Aunt Ma, Yu Tong sighed heavily in her heart. There There are all kinds of people in this world. It is impossible to get rid of all through minds. Some people are not really bad; they just happen to be born in this era, and they are unlucky.
Leaving Beiwei Street, Yu Tong hurried to Xie Wencheng’s house. By the time Yu Tong arrived, Xie Wencheng was already cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron, and Lin Feng was also there today; it seems that Grandma Xie specially called him here.
Yu Tong and Xie Wencheng have gotten along very well. As soon as they entered the door, Yu Tong greeted Grandma Xie and ran to the kitchen. “Brother Cheng, what are we having for dinner tonight?”
” Eggs? There’s still some pig intestines; I haven’t had time to make them yet, What do you think should do?” Xie Wencheng told Yu Tong that while cooking, he didn’t pay attention, and the hot pepper smell went straight into his eyes, choking him to cough.
Yu Tong smiled and patted him on the back: “Let’s go; let me do it. you go out and rest; you have worked hard all day.”
Before Xie Wencheng had time to say anything, Yu Tong kicked him out, and he wiped his face with a towel and wanted to go, but Yu Tong refused. Helpless, Xie Wencheng could only stand at the door with his hands in pockets, talking to Yu Tong casually.
The two of them here are cooking together, and Grandma Xie is on the other end watched this scene with great interest: “Xiao Feng, what do youthink of my grandson?”
“What?” Lin Feng didn’t understand.
Grandma Xie said: “Look, Wencheng has reached the age of marriage. and Tongtong… Anyway, I think these two people are pretty good, You take the time to help me find out and see what Tongtong’s mother thinks.”
For the sake of her grandson’s marriage, Grandma Xie was willing to give up her old face, and she spoke very straightforwardly.
Lin Feng was taken aback and looked at Yu Tong and Xie Wencheng in shock. No way, he knows Xie Wencheng and Yu Tong very well; these two people don’t look like people who would have a secret love.
Lin Feng looked at Xie Wencheng, who was raising his lips, and at Yu Tong, who was smiling like a flower, suddenly turned indifferent.
Oh, it is possible. But… this matter is really mysterious, and Lin Feng doesn’t know how to evaluate it.
When Yu Tong and Xie Wencheng finished cooking and came out with the dishes, Lin Feng looked at them with complicated expressions. Grandma Xie’s expression was not quite right either, and her wrinkles became more wrinkled when she smiled. What’s going on?
Yu Tong put down the food, hesitated for two seconds, and asked, “Is Is there something on my face?”
Xie Wencheng leaned over, took a closer look, and said affirmatively, “No.”
This move scared Lin Feng again. It seems that Xie Wencheng has never seen a girl so close before, and he seems to be really different to Yu Tong from other ways. In the past, Lin Feng only thought that Xie Wencheng was taking care of his sister, but now When Grandma Xie said this, Lin Feng felt that something was wrong with Xie Wencheng.
Falling in love with his sister without saying a word? Lin Feng felt a little uncomfortable, as if his cabbage had been picked up by Xie Wencheng, a pig.
Although Yu Tong’s financial conditions are not very good, she is also really liked by Lao Lin’s family.
Naturally, I hope that she can marry better so that she can be happy in the future. Xie Wencheng is a good person, that’s right, it’s just that his home… Lin Feng shuddered abruptly when he thought of Xie Wencheng’s mother.
After dinner, Lin Feng intentionally separated Xie Wencheng and Yu Tong: “Tongtong, you go to review; Wencheng and I can clean up the dishes.”
Xie Wencheng frowned. “There are only four people eating, and the dishes are not enough; why need two people to clean up? You can go by yourself, Tongtong and I have to go the room to study. Yu Tong, let’s go.”
Yu Tong readily agreed: “Okay!”
After finishing speaking, the two went to the room one after the other. Tong didn’t even look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng: “…”
It’s really true that having a married daughter is like spilling water and it’s the same way if it’s a younger sister. She didn’t even look at her brother.
****************
Li Xiu rested in the hospital for a whole week, and Yu Changzhi has beentaking care of her for a week.
Originally, the hospital didn’t need so many people; Yu Lele should have returned to work in the village, but Changzhi didn’t go back to work; how could Yu Lele agree? She refused to leave, she had to stay, and she didn’t help take care of Li Xiu when she stayed. She went out and wandered around every day, and Yu Changzhi was so angry that he wanted to beat her several times.
What sin did he commit to give birth to such an ignorant daughter, Not even half as good as Yu Tong!
At noon that day, Yu Lele wanted to run after lunch, but Yu Changzhi grabbed her and asked her to follow him to the doctor. Yu Changzhi’s idea is very simple: Li Xiu is Yu Lele’s biological mother, and Yu Lele should care about Li Xiu’s situation. Yu Lele was not as strong as Yu Changzhi, and she would not break free if she struggled, so she reluctantly followed.
“Comrade Li Xiu is getting old, and now she is an elderly mother, so there will be some problems. Our hospital will try to keep the child as much as possible, and your family members can also relax.” Yu Lele heard the words “elderly mother” and felt familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere.
After thinking for a while, she remembered, isn’t this what Yu Tong said to her back then?
What’s the matter? Does Yu Tong even know about this kind of thing? Thinking of the ninety-nine multiplication table that Yu Tong recited in front of her back then, Yu Lele felt a little unhappy.
She has never wanted to admit that Yu Tong is better than her, but looking at it now, how else can she compare to Yu Tong? This is not allowed!
After seeing the doctor, Yu Lele asked Li Xiu for money with a dark face.
Li Xiu said unhappily: “What do you want money for again? We may not be able to stay in the hospital for a few more days with this money, you still want money?!”
“I’m going to the supply and marketing cooperative,” Yu Lele said angrily, “Xie Wencheng should be here. I have to create opportunities for myself to get close to Xie Wencheng so that I can get along with him. Otherwise, I can’t even see him now. How can I compare with Yu Tong?” Li Xiu thought for a while, which seems to be the truth.
She was cruel and took out a dollar from her pocket, “Then you can buy a little less candy to eat, and save some money.”
Yu Lele: “Just one dollar? Then I won’t go; I can I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of Brother Cheng.”
Li Xiu frowned. “You child, I don’t have much money in total, so I’ll give you one dollar.”
“How am I going to buy things with a dollar? Brother Cheng will look down on me,” Yu Lele plausibly said. “How could he still want to be in-laws with our family? How about this, You give me all the money in your pocket, I won’t spend more, just spend one piece, and I’ll give you back the rest.”
Li Xiu thought about it and felt that what Yu Lele said was also reasonable and the method was feasible.
Xie Wencheng came from a big family, so she naturally couldn’t let Yu Lele lose face too much; besides, when Yu Lele and Xie Wencheng really had a result, would she still care about the money?
Li Xiu gritted her teeth and handed over all her money, Her heart ached as she stretched out her hand, reluctantly saying, “You save some money; don’t spend it all, or your father and I won’t have the money to live .”
