The crackdown is still going on, but ordinary people can also see that as long as they live in peace, their lives will not be affected much. In fact, the law and order is better than before. The small gangsters on the street are no longer seen, and the petty theft is also gone.
Ye Lan is also relieved to go to school, her grades are very good, Teacher Zhang told Ye Ning that she has a chance to be admitted to Beicheng University.
"Sister, Brother Ping'an sent me a lot of books. He asked me to work hard to get into North City University, but with my current scores, it is still a bit difficult. If only I can go to North City University, then I am Brother Ping'an's junior sister." .” Ye Lan bit her lower lip, a look of admiration flashed in her eyes.
Ye Ning looked at her and smiled, she was still a little girl.
He took away the letter that belonged to her, and only opened it when he returned to the room.
Sheng Jingchuan’s grandparents all had experience of studying abroad, and they did not relax their education for Sheng Jingchuan after they were sent to their village. During those days, he relied on his studies to get by, so he learned four foreign languages. In addition, his various majors The grades are all excellent, but when they graduated, they were forced to give up by people from various departments.
In the end, Sheng Jingchuan chose to join the League Central Committee. Ye Ning didn't know much about this aspect, and he felt tall just by hearing his name.
"Are you planning to take an official career?" Ye Ning muttered.
Sheng Jingchuan didn't talk to her much about work matters, and Ye Ning wouldn't ask, after all, she didn't understand what she said, and they talked more about trivial matters, occasionally including some current affairs at home and abroad, even if Ye Ning didn't I understand, but after all, I come from later generations. I saw and heard a lot of messy news on the Internet. I didn't expect to chat with Sheng Jingchuan quite speculatively. They corresponded very frequently this year, almost once a week.
The letter this time is different from the past. Ye Ning saw Sheng Jingchuan's confusion. This is the Sheng Jingchuan Ye Ning had never seen before. All along, the Sheng Jingchuan shown in front of her is strong and confident. It can be seen that this incident has caused him a lot of trouble. What a bother.
Is reform right
Ye Ning thought about it for a long time, but did not tell him right or wrong. He only talked about his life after the reform and opening up and the changes he saw in other people's lives. I believe he will understand.
"Sister, what did Brother Pingan tell you?" Ye Yu knocked on the door, opened a crack to poke his head in, "He sent us a lot of delicious food."
"Didn't he also write to you? Remember to write back to Brother Pingan." Ye Ning packed the letter, and later went to buy some various sauces here to send to Sheng Jingchuan. Mr. Sheng likes to eat this.
"I can't go back this year. It's okay for you and the second sister to go back at home?"
"It's okay, if we need something, we will find third uncle, don't worry." Ye Yu patted his small chest and said.
Last year, Director Yang knew that her father had just passed away, so she took special care of her. This year, there is no special case.
After Ye Lan and Ye Eucalyptus finished writing the letter, the three siblings packed up the package to be sent to Sheng Jingchuan, and were carrying it to send to Sheng Jingchuan, when they heard the noise behind them as soon as they went out.
"It's Aunt Wang Mei's house. I guess because of the shop, Aunt Wang Mei cried and yelled to return the shop last year. Later, the price rose so much, and I regretted it every day. A few days ago, some people sold the shop at the original price because of the crackdown. I really didn't expect that Aunt Wang Mei, who has always been timid, secretly bought one, but this time her husband disagreed, and they quarreled several times over it." Ye Lan explained to Ye Ning.
It must be because she missed the opportunity to make money before, so she has been guilty all the time. When she heard someone sell it, she bought it on a whim.
I thought that this matter had nothing to do with them, but I didn't expect Wang Mei to come to their house the next day.
"I'm related to Uncle Wang who guards the gate of the shopping mall. I heard him say that you want to buy a shop. I have one on hand. I will resell it at the price I bought. Do you want it?" Wang Mei just hugged the blind cat to death. In the mood of a mouse.
Ye Ning froze for a moment, then said: "Auntie, that shop is pretty good, with a monthly rent of more than 30 yuan, and the rent may increase next year, and the annual rent of more than 400 yuan is almost the same as the salary. pity."
"I also know it's a pity to sell it, but my family quarreled with me all day long because of this shop, and my in-laws also pointed at me and scolded me. I sold it because I had no choice." Of course, Wang Mei couldn't say that her husband was worried about changes in the national situation. Fear of being labeled a capitalist, so who would dare to buy it.
Ye Ning sneered at her words, she clearly regretted it in her heart, otherwise, with her personality, how could she allow her in-laws and husband to criticize her.
"Auntie, the price of this shop has been rising again recently, and it is about to return to the price in the second half of last year. You will lose money at the price you bought now." Ye Ning reminded again.
"It's okay, maybe I don't have the life to get rich like this. I have been arguing with my family for almost two years because of this shop. It's really boring. It's better to live my life peacefully and pretend that I never bought it." Not only she regretted it, but her husband also regretted it. Because of the troubles in the shop and the child's grades kept dropping, she discussed it with her family last night and decided to sell the shop as if she had never bought it. The shop has not been sold yet, and it has returned to the normal and stable days before.
Ye Ning knocked on the table with her index finger. It could be seen that Aunt Wang Mei sincerely wanted to sell. The problem is that she is very clear that this store will continue to skyrocket until next year. By June and July next year, it will at least triple or quadruple. With such a high profit, will they regret it by then
"Are you afraid that the store will go up at that time, and we will come to trouble you?" Wang Mei is a human sperm, and she can tell what Ye Ning is worried about as soon as she rolls her eyes. No matter how much the store will increase in the future, it has nothing to do with our family. You said that our family is all working people, who can do such unscrupulous things? Do you want to live here? Of course, if this store in the future Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with us."
"Of course." Ye Ning hesitated for a moment, then said, "It doesn't matter if you say it alone, I want your whole family to sign it."
There are no elders in their family, so it's better to be careful with her and two younger siblings.
When Ye Lan came back from washing clothes in the river, she happened to see Aunt Wang Mei going out of their house, and seeing Ye Ning who had something to say when she came in, she knew that something must be up.
"Sister, what's the matter?"
"Aunt Wang Mei just came to me and wanted to sell that shop to me. I wanted to ask you if you want it, and if you want it, I can buy it in your name." Ye Ning felt that it was a good time to buy it. No chance to buy again.
Ye Lan quickly shook her head, what happened last year frightened her, fearing that they would be labeled as capitalists, she would not dare to buy a shop.
"Sister..." She wanted to persuade Ye Ning not to buy it either.
"If you don't want it, then I will." Ye Ning guessed what she wanted to say, but she didn't want to argue with her.
On the same day, I met with Wang Mei's family, asked witnesses to sign and draw a deposit, and took the household registration booklet and house booklet to handle the account transfer.
The shop is located in the back, so it only cost 2800 yuan, Ye Ning paid the money readily, dragged someone to rent it out, and didn't care about anything else.
Ye Lan and Ye Eucalyptus went back to their hometown, and Ye Ning was the only one left in the city. She was suddenly left alone, and she was a little scared, so she begged Li Xiulan to sleep with her during lunch.
"You are so big and still afraid to sleep?" Li Xiulan laughed at her.
"It's not that I'm afraid of sleeping, it's that I don't dare to sleep alone in a room." Ye Ning felt that she had a problem with her comprehension.
Wang Bin and the others came to their table after packing a meal. It had been a long time since they sat down and had a meal with them.
"Li Xiulan, Ye Ning, I'm getting married. The date is set on the eighth day of the lunar new year. Come to my wedding then." Yang Wanqing said with a happy face.
Ye Ning glanced at Li Xiulan and saw that she was also shocked, so she knew that there was no news from the city.
"What's the situation, you can't hide it tightly enough!" Li Xiulan teased.
"I didn't expect it to be so fast." Yang Wanqing looked shy, "Just... once when I was shopping outside, my bag was robbed by someone, and then a policeman chased it back for you, and we got to know each other."
"Heroes saved the beauty, congratulations!" Ye Ning sincerely wished.
"Thank you!" Yang Wanqing replied shyly, this was not at all the same as her proud little appearance in the past.
"It's not predestined relationship. Wanqing's aunt wants to introduce someone to her. Guess what, I didn't expect it to be the policeman." Zhu Yonghui added on the side.
"It's really fate, the eighth day of the lunar new year, right? We will definitely come then." Ye Ning said with a smile.
At night, Ye Ning and Li Xiulan were lying on the bed, discussing what to give Yang Wanqing for her wedding
"Colleagues all chip in to buy a gift, but we have a good relationship with Wan Qing, so we can't do this anymore. A family like theirs has everything, so I really don't know what to give." Li Xiulan was also stumped .
Ye Ning also finds it difficult, is it too expensive to give away? Feelings are not there yet. Delivery too bad? I can't get over my face.
"Why don't we chip in to buy a bed blanket?" Li Xiulan asked Ye Ning.
A good blanket costs 50 to 60 yuan, which is equivalent to a month's salary for each of them. As a friend, this gift is not clear.
"There's nothing in the shopping malls in the county town, why don't we go to the city?" Ye Ning thought about asking for half a day off, so she should be able to buy good things.
"Sure, when the time comes, we'll go together, and we'll go to the shopping malls in the city as well. I've never been there before!" Li Xiulan said with her eyes brightened.
On the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, Ye Ning and Li Xiulan went to the shopping mall in the city. There were many more products than their county town. Take blankets as an example. From cheap to expensive.
Li Xiulan chose a bright red blanket for only 35 yuan, and the material was no worse than the 55 yuan in their county.
"Why don't we have one for each person?" At the beginning, I thought about thirty for one person, and sixty for one person. Since the price didn't exceed too much, it's not short of five yuan.
"Okay." Li Xiulan agreed.
The two picked different colors, put the blankets at the boss's place first, and they came here, so of course they had to take a stroll and treat themselves.
Ye Ning bought shampoo, soap, and skin care products. Counting the sevens and eights, forty or fifty would be gone. Li Xiulan was more careful, and only bought a face wipe, and nothing else.
"Didn't you hand in all the money you earned?" Li Xiulan couldn't help asking when Ye Ning spent more than 80 yuan to buy a coat.
"No, you want to hand it in?" Ye Ning looked at Li Xiulan.
"Of course, I need 20 yuan a month to subsidize the family." Li Xiulan's family cannot be said to be patriarchal. Every child has to pay living expenses after work.
"Very good." I really wanted to hand it in, but no one accepted it.
Ye Ning didn't want to continue this topic, she glanced at her watch, "It's running out of time, let's hurry to the station with our blankets."
"good.",,,
