"Well Weiwei, Yulan is helping our family now and has no place to live for a while, so I brought her back and squeezed in with you for the time being. I will find a way to arrange a place for her in the future." Liu Chunzhi looked at her daughter with a surprised face, He quickly opened his mouth to explain to her.
Li Wei put down her pen and stood up. Wang Yulan bowed apologetically and said, "Weiwei, sorry to bother you."
Li smiled and said: "I was shocked by the sudden appearance. Now I have a companion."
Wang Yulan put down her baggage, and Liu Chunzhi helped find new towels and gave her a basin.
"Did you bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste?"
Wang Yulan whispered: "I haven't had time to buy it yet."
Liu Chunzhi said: "Then go buy it tomorrow. It's too late today, so you can clean up and go to bed."
In this way, Wang Yulan temporarily stayed at their house. When Wang Yulan went to Li Wei's room after washing up, Li Wei was still doing homework under the lamp.
She didn't dare to disturb Li Wei and just sat there blankly. Li Wei turned to her and said, "Yu Lan, go to bed early. You don't have to wait for me. I still have half an hour."
"I'm fine." Wang Yulan yawned as she said it.
When Li Wei looked back after finishing his homework, he saw that Wang Yulan had fallen asleep on the side. She looked at the time and saw it was almost one o'clock in the morning. I went to bed so late again. I have to get up at half past six tomorrow.
Li Wei yawned and pulled off the quilt and quickly fell asleep.
When Wang Yulan got up the next day, Li Wei had already gone to school. Hot pot restaurants usually open later, and now they only serve dinner, so they usually go to bed late and get up late.
The rest of the Li family had not gotten up yet, and Wang Yulan felt that it was really inconvenient to stay here at this time. She was a diligent person and swept the yard with a broom inside and outside.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer and get up now?"
Wang Yulan was holding a wet towel to help wipe the furniture at home. Suddenly she heard someone talking behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Li Jianping. She panicked and stuttered: "Brother Li... Li... Brother."
"I'm not a tiger, what are you afraid of me doing? You don't need to do anything about the things at home, just take care of things in the store." After Li Jianping explained, he took the enamel jar and went out to brush his teeth.
Wang Yulan stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Later, Wang Yulan took the initiative to help with cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of all household chores. He is also very diligent when he goes to the store to help with work. Liu Chunzhi liked this diligent little girl very much, and once asked her in her spare time: "Why do you want to come out to find something to do?"
Wang Yulan said: "I'm almost old now, but they dislike me eating for free at home. My younger brothers and sisters have to go to school, so they let me go out and find something to do."
It is very common for a sister to sacrifice for her family. Such things are very common in the countryside. Liu Chunzhi sympathized with her very much and said with emotion: "It's not easy to be a sister. You are about the same age as our family Wei Wei. Look at her, she doesn't bother about the family all day long." There is not much else to do except reading every day.”
Listening to Liu Chunzhi's words, Wang Yulan was even more envious of Li Wei's current life. They were obviously about the same age and were playmates who grew up together, but how could there suddenly be such a big gap.
When Li Wei came back in the evening, there was still no one at home. She cooked a bowl of noodles and ate it, then went into her room to do her homework.
It was almost twelve o'clock when the family came back.
After a hard day's work, Wang Yulan was so exhausted that she didn't want to move after entering the house.
Li Wei had finished his homework and had a chance to talk to Wang Yulan.
"How's business in the store today?"
Wang Yulan said: "Very good, I've been too busy."
"That's good!" Li Wei just wanted to go to bed and get up early to go to school tomorrow. From this semester onwards, the school has tightened its grip on the style of study, and the coursework has become more arduous. Maybe it will be better after two more years of hard work.
Wang Yulan didn't want to sleep yet, so she lay on the bed and talked to Li Wei: "Wei Wei, your business is good. Can you make a lot of money in a month?"
"The more you earn, the more you spend. Not to mention other things, the water and electricity bills cost nearly a thousand a month. Not to mention the labor and vegetable expenses. After all, the net income is only that much. Compared with the previous small restaurant Be strong."
The Li family is really getting better and better, and Wang Yulan is truly envious.
"You are already in your second year of high school, will you go to college?"
Li Wei felt sleepy: "Well, I've reached this point and I'm sure I'm going to college."
"Then you don't care about this stall at home?"
Li smiled and said, "I have parents and my brother, so I don't care what to do. I still want to go out and have a try."
Wang Yulan deeply felt that poverty was driving them further and further apart, and because of their knowledge, the two of them had nothing in common.
Wang Yulan hummed softly. She wanted to say something more, but Li Wei's deep breathing came to her ears. It turns out that Li Wei is dead.
Wang Yulan is a girl who grew up in the countryside. She only graduated from elementary school and has little knowledge. Perhaps her greatest advantage is her diligence. But because of her diligence, Liu Chunzhi liked her deeply.
Seeing that Wang Yulan was poorly dressed, Liu Chunzhi asked Li Wei to find some of her own clothes for Wang Yulan. Not only that, she also took Wang Yulan to the street to buy two new sets of clothes.
"It's time for young girls to dress up. It's best to dress beautifully." Liu Chunzhi was filled with joy.
At this time Li Jianping came back. Liu Chunzhi hurriedly pulled Wang Yulan and her son and said, "Jianping, do you think Yulan's dress looks good?"
Li Jianping glanced briefly and saw Wang Yulan wearing a dark green long-sleeved dress, a round white collar with green stripes, and a long ribbon. A yellow belt as thick as a finger was tied around her waist, cinching the girl's waist.
The skirt itself is well cut, but Wang Yulan is dark, and her dark green complexion looks even darker now that she is wearing it today.
Seeing Li Jianping sizing her up, Wang Yulan blushed quietly and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Very good." Li Jianping didn't care what these young women were wearing.
"Not bad, I bought the same skirt for Weiwei, but she likes blue, so I bought it in blue. When the two of them wore it at the same time, they really looked like sisters." Liu Chunzhi said to her Very satisfied with the choice.
On weekends, Li Wei will also go to the store to help. After half a month, Wang Yulan was completely familiar with the life here, and she was highly praised by Liu Chunzhi.
"You don't care about anything at home now. If you are half as diligent as Yulan, it will save me a lot of worry." Liu Chunzhi seized the opportunity to complain to her daughter.
"Mom, do I have the energy to care about anything else now? The schoolwork is so heavy. Look, I haven't slept before twelve o'clock on any given day."
"I'm just lazy, don't make excuses for me."
Li Wei was a little jealous, thinking that instead of protecting her biological daughter, she was now protecting an outsider.
