"Uncle, are you too partial? You see me and Lei Lei being able to help, but Zhou Kai and Zhou Yan are also not a few years younger than us, and you will definitely be fine with them."
"Zhou Kai is okay, I don't care about Zhou Yan, girls love to cry again, I don't want to take Zhou Yan to listen to her crying." Li Hongwei mentioned that Zhou Yan was full of disgust, in fact Zhou Yan is a typical shy girl The child's personality is usually taciturn, not as lively as Mei Xiaoran.
"That's fine, you can take Zhou Kai with you, and Zhou Yan will forget it."
Zhou Yan is a girl after all, and it is indeed a bit unreliable to let her catch a scorpion. Mei Xiaoran thought about it, and decided she would take Zhou Yan to do something else.
"Then you ask Zhou Kai to come to me tonight and let him prepare the tools..." Li Hongwei suddenly changed his mind, "Forget it, I'll prepare it myself, I'm afraid he didn't prepare it properly, let him be at 6 o'clock in the evening. come on."
"I know my uncle is the best. I'll go and tell Zhou Kai now, anyway, I happen to have something to ask my second aunt."
After Mei Xiaoran gnawed the tomatoes, she abducted to her second aunt's house happily.
"Second aunt, I'm here!"
Li Mingqin was making clothes. Hearing Mei Xiaoran coming, he stood up in a panic, "Ran Ran, why are you running in such a hot day?"
"My mother asked you to have time to discuss it. If you don't want to run, we can also ride there now."
Zhou Yan and Zhou Kai were doing summer homework at home, and when they saw Mei Xiaoran coming, they all stood up excitedly, "Sister Ran Ran is here."
"Zhou Kai, let me tell you, I just told my uncle, starting from this evening, he will take you and Lei Lei to catch scorpions at night, you remember to wear a protective glove, come to see our uncle at 6 o'clock in the evening ."
Zhou Kai had heard that last fall, Li Hongwei took the Mei family elder brother to catch a scorpion. He was already eager to try, and he jumped up happily, "Sister Ran Ran, is this true? That's great!" I heard that you were catching scorpions last year, but it made me jealous."
"The homework assigned today is not finished, you are not allowed to go!"
Li Mingqin is also very precious to her children. No matter how hard she and Zhou Jincheng suffer, they are always reluctant to lose their children.
The Li sisters are all good looking, and the children born are also very good-looking. Sister and brother Mei Xiaoran don’t need to say, they all look like Mei Zhonghua.
They are all delicate and delicate looks, but Zhou's sisters and brothers are like her father and mother. Zhou Yan looks like her father, with a round face, big eyes, and white skin, just a little dull and not clever enough; and Zhou Kai looks like a mother. His facial features are more beautiful than her sister, and her skin is better than her sister. It is definitely the kind of white and rosy, plus a pair of beautiful big eyes, he looks like a doll.
Li Mingqin had a bit of objection to his son's catching of scorpions, but it was not easy to say clearly. After all, scorpions are poisonous insects. If they stung her baby son, that would be bad!
"Second aunt, don't worry, we followed my dad and uncle in catching scorpions last year. Everyone has experience and won't hurt Zhou Kai."
Li Mingqin smiled reluctantly when he heard his niece say this, "You are careful, I'm afraid Zhou Kai will be too wild to control once he ran out!"
"Isn't it still my uncle watching? Don't look at my uncle's usual unreliability, go out to protect us and protect us very tightly. Now that the scorpion is so valuable, if Zhou Kai follows his uncle to catch the scorpion at night, I dare not do anything else To say more, the money earned during a holiday is enough for him and Zhou Yan's tuition."
Although Li Mingqin was worried about his son, he heard that he could earn so much money. He was also very excited. After all, in the era of poverty and whiteness, this was the money of the empty glove white wolf. Although there were certain risks, compared with the benefits obtained, Of course the benefits are more attractive.
"Well, Ran Ran, if you want to say this, I will let Zhou Kai go to catch the scorpion in the evening."
Mei Xiaoran asked tightly again, "Auntie, why don't we go to the store to find my mother now, on such a hot day, riding a bicycle can save you a while, I don't want you to get tanned anymore."
Among the Li family sisters, Li Mingqin is a very miraculous existence. She doesn't have a strong sense of presence among sisters. Although she has been working as a male laborer, her appearance is not ugly. If you look closely, her facial features are even better than those of the older sister.
Li Mingyun followed Grandpa Li, with a small nose and small eyes, and a delicate look. However, Li Mingqin has thick eyebrows and big eyes. She follows Grandma Li, but her skin is not white enough... It is not her fault, because she is tanned by working outside all day long. Except for that face, her body is whiter than the eldest sister. , But she does not have the temperament of the elder sister, nor the eldest sister can dress up, but she can give birth to this
Such a beautiful child can prove that her foundation is not bad.
Mei Xiaoran deliberately said that he was tanning, just to point out the problem of Li Mingqin's dark face. Li Mingqin couldn't help but smile, "Let's go, let's ride the bike to the street to find your mother." He turned around and told Zhou Yanzhou. Kai, "You two hurriedly wrote the homework assigned today, and you will have to check it when I come back... Especially Zhou Kai, if you can't finish your homework, don't even think about catching scorpions at night!"
"Okay, I know."
Zhou Kai sniffed and picked up the pencil.
"I happen to have a trip down the street. This is not to make three more skirts and take them directly to the store."
Li Mingqin wrapped the skirt, let Mei Xiaoran hold it, and rode her to the Zhonghua Store.
As soon as Mei Xiaoran left this moment, Li Mingyun sold two more skirts and was counting the money happily. Seeing Li Mingqin coming over, he happily handed the money to her, "You happened to sell both of them. The bean-green version is sixty-four yuan, you take it."
"Sister, I just made three more skirts."
Mei Xiaoran hurriedly took the wrapped skirt to her mother, "Mom, my second aunt is really quick to work!"
"Your second aunt is just like an old scalper. I don't know how to rest. I'm afraid she will be tired."
Li Mingyun took the skirt and hung it up, turning his face to ask, "Mingqin, is there no cloth in your house?"
"Isn't it? I only have some cloth heads left. I still want to ask you, what can I do if there is no cloth? This clothes can't be made!"
Li Mingqin was also both happy and worried. What was happy was that the eldest sister gave her a hand when she was most difficult, but what was worried was that if there was no cloth, she just wanted to do this job and couldn't do it.
"Mingqin, I called you over just to tell you about this."
Li Mingyun handed the cold tea to the second sister, "You have also seen that the goods in my store are basically sold out. I want to go to Wuhan with Ran Ran to buy the goods again in the past two days, and give it to me by the way. Bring some cloth. The cloth in Wuhan is definitely cheaper than ours, and there are more channels. The last time I bought a cloth on the black market cost more than 600, and a meter of cloth has at least quadrupled! But this I can’t be your home. You make up your mind. If you are willing to let me take it, then I’ll take two pieces of cloth back. If you don’t, it’s fine."
