Deng Xingming ran a long way to finish the sweet potato in his hand. When he arrived at the canteen where baskets were made, he specially called Deng Yunping out.
Deng Yunping didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but seeing that everyone was busy and worried about disturbing others, she had no choice but to follow him out.
"Yunping, don't worry, I will definitely compensate you in the future." As he said that, he stuffed the egg in his pocket into Deng Yunping's hand.
The warm touch made Deng Yunping look down subconsciously, and she found that it was an egg. She was slightly surprised, "Where did it come from?"
“I exchanged it for my work points.”
Deng Yunping stuffed the egg back into his hand, "I don't want it!"
Deng Xingming was anxious and quickly stuffed the egg back, "Please don't, this egg is especially for you." Afraid that she would stuff it back again, he hurriedly said, "Yun Ping, we are the closest people, why do you have to be estranged from me?"
Deng Yunping pursed her lips and said nothing. In a place where she was unfamiliar with everyone, she certainly wanted to have a relative, but did she need a brother who had been exploiting her
Seeing her lower her head and not speaking, Deng Xingming sighed, "Yun Ping, I am a careless person. You have always been well-behaved and quiet, and you never complain about what your mother asks you to do, so I thought you were happy. You are right, I am really blind and don't even know what my own sister is thinking."
Deng Yunping laughed at herself, "Then I should be very proud of myself for having such good acting skills that I managed to fool everyone."
She is well-behaved and sensible? How could she not think so? She was just forced by life. If she didn't do what Deng's parents asked her to do, could she survive
She had clearly married a dying man as they requested, but they still refused to let her go.
She didn't want to get blood on her hands, but she had to do it.
Once you do something, you will suffer even if you are not punished now.
When Deng's father died, she couldn't sleep for days and nights. Her dreams were filled with scenes of him asking for her life. She had no choice but to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.
As time went on, she couldn't keep up with the energy. But her brother who had always been by her side was too blind to see.
Has she been acting for too long that she doesn't even have the slightest sense of presence
Deng Xingming, who had always neglected his sister, had a guilty look on his face. "I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
Deng Yunping held the egg in her hand, looked up at him, and asked in surprise, "You take care of me? What can you do for me?"
Don't think she didn't know that before leaving, Deng's mother took all the money away. He didn't have as much money as she did.
Deng Xingming felt uncomfortable being looked down upon by his own sister. He used to give part of his salary to Deng's mother and spend the rest. He could not keep any money at all. But he was a man after all, and he must have earned more work points than his younger sister. So he said solemnly, "I will work hard." Then he turned and left.
Deng Yunping looked at his back, then lowered her head to look at the egg in her hand, her brows furrowed, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed and weeds in the wheat fields began to grow wildly.
Wang Shouquan immediately notified everyone to go to the field to pull weeds.
The people in charge of raising chickens do not need to stay in the chicken farm all day long, so in order to earn more work points, everyone will go to the fields.
Except Qian Shulan and Xie Baiying, everyone else was not in the chicken farm.
Even Chen Xuanxuan was no exception. It wasn't that she was diligent, but she had to pull weeds.
If her work points were not enough, she would not be able to get 360 kilograms of food rations, and she had already been deducted 100 work points before. In this month, she had saved 200 work points, but they were exchanged for eggs several times. There were not many left. In order not to starve to death, she had to go to the fields.
In addition to Chen Xuanxuan, Deng Xingming and Deng Yunping also went to the fields.
Deng Yunping earned fewer work points than Chen Xuanxuan because she was too slow at weaving baskets before, but she did not have any points deducted, so her total work points were still higher than Chen Xuanxuan's.
Later, Qian Shulan taught her how to hatch chicks. Now the hen is still sitting on eggs at home, and she doesn’t know whether she can be selected.
But in order to collect enough work points, she still went to the fields under the scorching sun.
Needless to say, Deng Xingming was only interested in making more money to compensate his sister. Not only did he have to sweep the chicken manure in the chicken farm, he also had to work in the fields to earn work points.
While others were working in full swing, Qian Shulan sat under the shed of the chicken farm, holding Xiao Min, and teaching her Arabic numerals by pointing to an elementary school textbook.
"Come on, Xiao Min, repeat after me! 1, 2, 3"
Xiao Min followed the sentence. At her age, she loved to play the most and didn't want to sit in one place for a long time. So as soon as she finished reading, she looked at Qian Shulan eagerly, "Grandma, I want to go play."
Although Qian Shulan dotes on Xiao Min, her principles will not change. Her grandmother suffered a lot in her previous life because she could not read. In order to make Xiao Min a top student, she now has to cultivate Xiao Min's learning ability.
It was no use just forcing her, as this would make Xiao Min rebellious, so she tempted her, "Do you want to eat candy?"
Xiao Min's eyes lit up, "Is it White Rabbit Milk Candy?"
Qian Shulan nodded, "Yes! As long as you learn this article from grandma today, grandma will give you two White Rabbit milk candies."
"Okay!" After saying that, he stopped making a fuss about going out to play. He looked at the words on the book obediently and read along with Qian Shulan.
When the grandparents and grandchildren were studying seriously, Qian Weihan walked in from outside.
He was holding a letter in his hand, and I could hear him shouting from a distance, "Little sister, your letter."
Qian Shulan put Xiao Min on a stool and let her read by herself.
She took the letter handed to her by Qian Weihan and saw that the postmark was from Guangzhou. She was delighted because it was the letter Wei Qinggang had sent to her.
She opened it and saw that the signature at the bottom was indeed Wei Qinggang. She felt relieved. The letter was written very briefly, saying that he would arrive in Liuguan County on May 1st.
Ask her to wait for him at the entrance of the department store at noon.
Qian Shulan calculated the time and found that the day after tomorrow was May 1. It seemed that this letter was quite timely.
Qian Weihan saw the smile on her face and asked curiously, "Who is this?"
Qian Shulan folded the letter and said, "It's from a friend in Guangzhou."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Qian Weihan stopped asking.
Qian Shulan planned to arrive at the county town a day earlier, so she handed over the chicken farm to Sun Daqin. Worried that she would not be able to do a good job, she taught her step by step for a whole morning.
After teaching, early the next morning, Qian Shulan rode the team’s bicycle and took Xiao Min to the county town.
Qian Shulan went to the Jiang family this time.
Jiang Yuying was extremely happy when she saw her godmother coming.
Qian Shulan noticed that during the meal, Wang Shouzhi kept picking up food for Jiang Yuying.
Xiaodie seemed a little listless.
Qian Shulan was slightly puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
Wang Shouzhi glanced at his daughter and said, "She's a little bored sitting at home all day. Mom, why don't you let her go back for a few days?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaodie immediately stood up and objected, "No! I won't go!"
The sharp sound startled everyone.
Jiang Yuying smiled and patted the back of Wang Shouzhi's hand, winked at him, and then said to Xiaodie, "If you don't want to go, then don't go! It's the same as going to the store with me."
Xiaodie was happy now, and said to Jiang Yuying with a smile, "Mother is still the best!"
Qian Shulan always felt that this child was worried. She was never so reluctant to go back to the countryside before. What was wrong
At night, because the small room was too small to accommodate three people, Qian Shulan took Xiaomin to the big room after she fell asleep and asked Wang Shouzhi and Jiang Yuying to look after her.
When she returned to the small room, she saw Xiaodie lying on the bed with her head tilted in a daze.
She walked to the bed and sat down, then asked her with a smile, "Xiaodie, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaodie bit her lip, looking a little depressed.
Qian Shulan thought about it and felt that Xiaodie might be a little jealous because her biological father was too good to her stepmother, so she smiled and comforted her, "Xiaodie, your father still loves you very much. You don't have to worry" that he will not love you.
Xiaodie frowned, sat up straight, and said as a matter of course, "I know."
Xiaodie thought about it and immediately understood what grandma meant. She hurriedly explained, "I'm not jealous of mom." She pouted, "My dad has been alone for so many years. He finally got married. It's normal for him to be nice to mom."
Now it was Qian Shulan's turn to be confused, "Then what's wrong with you?"
Xiaodie lay down on the bed, "I'm so upset!"
Qian Shulan's brows were furrowed. If it wasn't Wang Shouzhi's business, she wouldn't have started a relationship so early. After all, she was only fourteen years old.
That's Lee Chae-young or Lee Guk-sung's business.
As expected! Xiaodie couldn't help but speak first, her tone a little depressed, "I heard from my mother that my grandfather suffered a lot in the labor camp. She asked me to send her some money. I didn't dare to ask my parents!"
How could Wang Shouzhi give money to Li Caiying? It's impossible!
Qian Shulan sneered, "How could your mother be so filial?"
Hearing this, Xiaodie sat up again, staring at her breast with burning eyes, "What do you mean?"
Qian Shulan spread her hands with a look of disdain, "I saw your mother criticize your grandfather with my own eyes and cut off all ties with him. She must be asking you for money for herself, not for your grandfather."
When Xiaodie was young, she was raised by Li Guocheng. He was not close to Li Caiying at all. After the divorce, he completely forgot about his daughter. That's why Li Caiying used Li Guocheng to deceive Xiaodie.
Hearing her grandmother's words, Xiaodie was so angry that her face swelled up, "She actually lied to me! I'm her daughter!" What kind of mother is this! She even lied to her own daughter! There is not much mother-daughter affection in Benli, and this time it really hits the bottom!
Qian Shulan patted her back and soothed her, "You want to go see your grandpa, wait a few days and grandma will take you to see him. You don't need her to mess around at all."
Xiaodie's eyes lit up, but the light only lasted for a moment before fading away again. "Will it affect my parents' work? My grandpa is a bad guy after all."
When Li Guocheng got into trouble, Xiaodie wanted to go see him, but when she thought about implicating her family, she held back.
Qian Shulan shook her head, "Don't worry, I have a way. I will definitely not let them be affected."
Xiaodie smiled and said crisply, "Okay!"
In the big room, Xiao Min slept between the two of them, snoring softly with her little belly bulging.
Jiang Yuying has no resistance to such a young child. She gently touched Xiaomin's little face and said with admiration, "She is so cute!"
Qian Shulan took very good care of Xiaomin, not only feeding her well but also dressing her well.
Even when the sun was scorching, she would always put a straw hat on Xiao Min, keeping her little face fair and tender.
If she wears floral clothes and skirt, she will definitely be a flower fairy.
However, the clothes Qian Shulan matched for her also made her look like a little lady.
Wang Shouzhi looked at Xiaomin with some jealousy. Yuying had never kissed him before.
He licked his slightly dry lips and said with a smile, "Yeah, it's cute!"
How could she not be adorable! Her mother loves this little girl so much that she is willing to buy her anything.
He rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Xiaodie has grown up, why don't we have a little girl to play with?"
Jiang Yuying was startled, looked up at him and said nothing.
Wang Shouzhi sighed heavily and fell on the bed!
The author has something to say: Adding more chapters is so exhausting that I almost fainted from exhaustion!
