The bookstore near the market used to be empty. Since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, every time He Xiaoyun went out to buy groceries, she could see a long queue at the door of the bookstore. It is said that many people started to line up in the middle of the night, and many People can't buy it yet.
He Xiaoyun's textbooks and review materials have been found in bookstores and waste recycling stations one after another in the past two years. Although some are relatively old, they are at least complete, which saves her the pain of grabbing books from others at this time.
That evening, Huang Lizhen came to see her.
Knowing that she was nervously preparing for the exam, recently, Xu Lanxiang and the others did not dare to disturb her easily. Huang Lizhen came to the door at this moment to ask for something.
Among the four people they get along with better, Xu Lanxiang and Huang Lizhen are locals, and they married their lovers only after being introduced, while Li Xijin, like He Xiaoyun, is from the same hometown as Lao Zhao, and both are southerners.
There is a younger sister in Huang Lizhen's family. After graduating from high school a few years ago, she was assigned to jump in the northeast.
Now she also wants to take the college entrance examination, but suffers from not being able to buy review materials.
Since there was no one to borrow, Huang Lizhen thought of coming to He Xiaoyun to try her luck.
He Xiaoyun handed her a copy of "Algebra" on the table after hearing her intentions, and said with a smile: "There are too many people in the bookstore, so I couldn't buy it, but I was lucky and found it in the recycling bin, and my sister-in-law took it to me." Bar."
Huang Lizhen was a little embarrassed: "You have to use it too... I asked her to finish copying it quickly, and I will return it to you in two days."
"No hurry, I can review other things first."
Two days later, Huang Lizhen returned the book as promised, along with a basket of twenty eggs.
This time it was He Xiaoyun's turn to be embarrassed, "What is this for? Don't talk about anything else, just the friendship between Jianwei and Lao Zhang. If he knows that I have accepted my sister-in-law's eggs, he will definitely talk about me."
Huang Lizhen smiled and said: "This is a matter between the two of us. What does it have to do with their men? And it's not my idea, it's my mother's insistence. Your book solved our family's urgent need. If the younger sister can really pass the exam University, not to mention 20 eggs, 200 are also given away."
He Xiaoyun then said: "Then wait until the younger sister is admitted to university before sending it, and I will definitely accept it when the time comes."
Huang Lizhen put down the eggs and walked out, saying as she walked: "The time is the time, and now is now, you can keep the eggs. If you don't take them, my mother will deliver them in person tomorrow. Don't you feel embarrassed to trouble her old man? "
"Hey... sister-in-law..." She ran away and disappeared. He Xiaoyun couldn't evade it, and was afraid that Huang Lizhen's mother would really come over, and she couldn't deal with the elders, so she had to accept it.
As soon as the news of the college entrance examination was confirmed, He Xiaoyun and Wei Jianwei sent a telegram home, asking Wei Jianhua if he would like to take part, and if so, she could send him her review materials.
Today Wei Jianwei got off work and brought Wei Jianhua's reply letter. The content was not beyond He Xiaoyun's expectation. He had no interest in going to university.
He Xiaoyun folded the letter paper, looked at Wei Jianwei's face, and said, "It's fine if Jianhua doesn't participate this time. This year is too hasty. If you take the test without preparation, it will affect your confidence if you fail the test. Why don't you wait for him to think about it. Then you can still participate in the next summer."
Wei Jianwei snorted coldly, "What affects confidence, he is lazy."
"Everyone has their own ambitions. How many people are there in our country, and only a few of them go to college. Are those who don't go to college all lazy?" He Xiaoyun said.
"Why don't others know, he is really lazy."
"Okay, okay," He Xiaoyun patted his hand, "You look like a stubborn feudal patriarch, don't worry about whether Jianhua is lazy, come and help me peel potatoes."
Wei Jianwei entered the kitchen obediently. He was a tall man, sitting on a small bench, but his brows were still slightly frowned, and he was peeling potatoes with a serious face. That scene was funny to watch.
He Xiaoyun formed a square frame with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, placed it in front of her eyes, and framed Wei Jianwei into the frame, with a click on her mouth.
Hearing the voice, Wei Jianwei looked up at her, "What are you doing?"
"Take a picture of you," He Xiaoyun said with a smile, "When the little fat man has a child, I will point to the picture and tell him, look at your grandpa, how wronged you are to peel potatoes."
Wei Jianwei raised an eyebrow and watched her silent.
Seeing this, He Xiaoyun suddenly remembered the incident of calling her father a few days ago, and the scene of being tossed and tossed by him that night, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "You're just kidding, you can't be so stingy, right?"
Wei Jianwei only hummed from his nasal cavity.
It's the second tone of the um.
So He Xiaoyun knew that he was so stingy.
She hurried over, squatted on the side, and touched him with her elbow, looking like two good brothers, "Why are you like this, we two are with each other."
Wei Jianwei didn't respond, but said, "Stubborn feudal parents?"
He Xiaoyun rolled her eyes in her heart, this cheapskate had started to hold grudges just now.
"That means you are serious and dignified." She opened her eyes and said nonsense.
"It's aggrieved to peel potatoes?"
"Uh..." He Xiaoyun's mind was spinning quickly, "That means you are willing to contribute to your family, and you are a good father and parent!"
Wei Jianwei smiled, not knowing whether to accept this explanation.
Just at this time when Wei Yuanhang came back from school, He Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and thought, whether he accepts it or not, at worst, she won't go back to her room to sleep tonight, and she will sleep with the little fat man.
"Mom, I'm back!" Wei Yuanhang ran in bouncing around, humming some song.
He put down his schoolbag, ran to the kitchen, and asked actively, "Do you want to peel the beans?"
"There are no beans today." He Xiaoyun said.
"Then do you want to wash the radishes?" Wei Yuanhang asked again.
The reason why he is so diligent is that He Xiaoyun's reward system is the same as doing homework. Every time you do a housework, you can get one or two small red flowers. If you accumulate more red flowers, you can exchange them for snacks or toys.
He has already exchanged for a candied haws and a tin pencil case. That pencil case has made him famous among his classmates for several days. The little fat man who has tasted the sweetness, now comes home from school every day. The first thing he does is not think about going out to play. But to help mother work.
He Xiaoyun pointed to Wei Jianwei and said, "Your father has done away with today's work, and you have nothing to do."
"Why is Dad like this!" The little fat man suddenly pouted and said very dissatisfied.
He Xiaoyun hummed a song, turned around and went to cook.
Of course she lied to Wei Yuanhang. Even if Wei Jianwei hadn't peeled potatoes, such a dangerous job would not be his turn to do such a dangerous job. She just wanted to find something for Wei Jianwei to grind his bad thoughts.
Wei Yuanhang was still aggrieved, "Dad stole my little red flower..."
Of course Wei Jianwei could ignore him, but he was his own son after all, and ordinary people would not be able to be so hard-hearted to accuse him like this.
Sifang Bao is a kind of toy for children. Two Sifang Baos are buckled on the ground. If one of them can overturn the other, it is a win. The winner can take the loser's Sifang Bao as his own.
Wei Yuanhang's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out two palms greedily, "Ten!"
"Five." Wei Jianwei bargained in half.
"Ah?" Wei Yuanhang was dumbfounded, "Then... eight!"
"Five."
"Seven!"
"Five."
"Six, six six!" The child sniffed.
Wei Jianwei glanced at his son, feeling that if he cut it down again, he might cry, so he nodded kindly, "Six."
Wei Yuanhang immediately beamed with joy, and ran to He Xiaoyun and said, "Dad told me to fold six square treasures for me!"
After listening to the whole process, He Xiaoyun rubbed his head with free hands, and said sympathetically, "Go to the next door and play with Rongrong for a while, and call you back after dinner, and do your homework after dinner."
The child cheered and ran out. Through the wall, he could be heard showing off to Wang Derong that his father was about to fold six square treasures for him.
She couldn't help but look at Wei Jianwei. After peeling potatoes, Wei Jianwei came over after washing his hands, "What are you looking at?"
Look at a child's father who is ruthless, shameless and unreasonable. He Xiaoyun said heartily.
Although she usually bullies the little boy, but seeing him being bullied by Wei Jianwei, why does she feel so pitiful in her heart.
It must be that Wei Jianwei is too bad.
She nodded secretly to a conclusion.
Although she didn't speak, Wei Jianwei knew from her expression that she was probably slandering him again.
He leaned over and nibbled lightly on her earlobe.
"Ah!" He Xiaoyun exclaimed, and turned to stare at him, "Are you a dog?"
Wei Jianwei smiled and said, "It's not a dog, it only bites you."
She was so angry that she raised her foot and was about to kick her, but he dodged it lightly and skillfully, then took a step forward to hug her, and kissed her twice again on the place where she had just gnawed.
"Go away!" He Xiaoyun snorted.
Wei Jianwei didn't leave, but kissed him twice more.
He Xiaoyun beat him, but if he couldn't hit him, he would kiss her when he couldn't beat him, and the meal was procrastinated, which almost flattened Wei Yuanhang's stomach.
After dinner, Wei Yuanhang wrote his twisted big characters as usual, Wei Jianwei sat across from him origami, and He Xiaoyun did the problem between them.
Not long after, the child was sleepy, so she took him to wash and go back to the room to sleep.
After Wei Yuanhang lay down, He Xiaoyun also leaned on the head of the bed half-lying and half-reclining, causing the child to ask her directly: "Will Mommy sleep with me at night?"
He Xiaoyun teased him and said, "That's right, we don't want Dad anymore, okay?"
The child frowned in embarrassment. His father just made a lot of origami for him. If he is not wanted, will his father take the origami back
Seeing that he took it seriously and still looked distressed, He Xiaoyun said cheerfully: "Just kidding, don't think about it, go to sleep."
Wei Jianwei sat alone in the living room for a long time, but He Xiaoyun did not come out. He went in and found that she was leaning against the head of the child's bed, already asleep.
He had to go forward and hug her up.
He Xiaoyun seemed to be aware of it, opened her eyes in a daze and took a look, and said, "Stingy, I won't sleep with you..."
After speaking, he fell asleep again.
Wei Jianwei looked helpless.
