Only Mei Xiaolei didn't know what happened. Seeing his father and sister so excited, he asked weakly, "Is there anything you are happy to be like this?"
"My dear son, your tuition has been reduced, and Dad is not worried anymore."
The thing that made Mei Zhonghua most happy was this. On this day, he made almost one month's salary of others, plus the money from the original family, which was adequately enough for the tuition of two children. Last night, he was so worried that he almost stayed up all night, but today, after listening to his girlfriend, he abducted to Xiaodongying and pulled two carts of watermelons to earn it back. Now all the problems have been solved.
"Why don't you worry?"
Li Mingyun just heard these words when he entered the hospital, and when he entered the door, he saw a large number of odds and ends piled on the table of three buckets, and was immediately stunned, "This is... Is this money enough for the children's tuition?" She originally Still thinking, if it was not enough, she would bite the bullet and open her mouth, borrow ten yuan from her natal family to solve the problem of children going to school first.
"Enough is enough!"
Mei Zhonghua gave all the money to Li Mingyun, "You put this away first, and then pay the children's tuition later."
"Why did you get so much money at once? Who did you borrow it from?"
Li Mingyun never thought that Mei Zhonghua earned the money, and he wondered where he borrowed it from.
Mei Zhonghua couldn't laugh or cry, "Mingyun, you too look down on your man, this is what I earned."
Now Li Mingyun was even more surprised. Although she knew that her man was pouring food outside, it was only sold at the market. It was also sneaky for fear of being reported. Who would have the guts to buy a few hundred catties of food at once? Usually, Mei Zhonghua earns ten yuan at most when he goes to an episode, and that's when the business is particularly good.
"Mom, let me tell you, this is the money my dad and I made from selling watermelons today."
Mei Xiaoran was very proud, if she hadn't been a teenage girl now, she really wanted to take these things down and do it herself.
"Selling watermelons?"
Li Mingyun was really confused. Her man had never sold watermelons before, so she remembered doing this business.
Mei Zhonghua talked about selling watermelon, and praised her daughter by the way, "It's still very smart, if she hadn't suggested selling watermelon to me, I wouldn't have thought of this."
Li Mingyun was surprised and delighted, but distressed, "Ran Ran, in this hot day, all the
You are tanned. "
"Mom, I have never been afraid of getting sunburned since I was a child, you don't know."
After busying for a while, Mei Zhonghua was starving, and urged Li Mingyun to cook, "Go cook, Ran Ran and I are hungry, so let’s order some noodles. The sooner the better."
Li Mingyun went to cook without saying a word. Thinking that the children’s tuition was already available, she generously scrambled eggs and leeks with noodles. The attractive fragrance made Mei Xiaoran salivate across the wall...
Everyone ate this meal very happily.
After the meal, Mei Xiaoran cut up the watermelon in town for everyone to eat.
The watermelon has been in the water for almost an hour, and it tastes sweeter when it is cold.
Mei Xiaolei almost chewed up the watermelon skin, "It's delicious."
"Leilei, eat slowly, my dad will get you some melons tomorrow, don't worry."
"Really?"
After Mei Xiaolei got the affirmative answer, he slowed down and tasted it carefully...
In the afternoon, Li Mingyun went to work in the factory, Mei Zhonghua was also taking a nap, and Mei Xiaoran, who had been busy all morning, lay in her bed but couldn't sleep.
She was thinking about how to make her family rich as soon as possible, so that her parents would not be so hard. But now it's only 1978, and reform and opening up will not be until the second half of next year at the earliest. There is still one year left. What can you do in one year without breaking the rules and making money
In the evening, Mei Zhonghua went to the sixth brother's house to borrow a bicycle.
Mei Xiaoran was very impressed with this Liu Bo. Liu Bo and her dad are in the same family as Wufu, so the relationship is not so close. But Uncle Liu came to the city very early to settle down, and he was very good to others. After Mei Zhonghua entered the city, the two families lived together in Dongguan. The more they moved around, the closer the relationship became. They were the closest to their family except for their grandmother's. Yes, if you want to change to another person, the bicycle is definitely not that easy to borrow.
Mei Zhonghua got up earlier the next day. Before dawn, he rode to Xiaodongying to pull watermelons.
This time Mei Xiaoran didn't go with him. You must know that a car of watermelon costs a few hundred kilograms. If you bring her, you will have to add dozens of kilograms to her dad, so she doesn't want her dad to work so hard. But she also has something to be busy with. Today, she decided to take Mei Xiaolei to the vegetable market, so that he can also experience everyone’s hardships, and let him regain his senses by the way. You must know that Mei Xiaolei has never had any hardships in her previous life. Raised by Li Mingyun to be the same as Young Master
So, now she doesn't want to get used to Mei Xiaolei's stinky problem anymore.
Sister Mei Xiaoran brought two small stools to the vegetable market. They were still at the place they were yesterday, covered with sacks, and waited for her father to pull the watermelon back.
At a quarter past six, Mei Zhonghua pulled back a cart, unloaded the watermelon, and left. His goal today is three carts of watermelon, two carts are sold on the market street, and the other cart he plans to get there. North Pass is sold. Today there is a market, and there will certainly not be fewer people in Beiguan Chaihuo Market!
Mei Xiaoran and his younger brother were guarding the watermelon stall, and more than seven people came up. Many of them were customers who bought watermelons yesterday. They didn't even need to talk about the price, so they just picked them up and left. When other raw guests saw this situation, they also rushed in... Just after eight o'clock, they sold half a cart of watermelons.
Mei Xiaolei was so happy, "Sister, our dad really picks watermelon, or so many people will buy it."
"Of course, my dad is good at picking watermelons."
Mei Xiaoran is very proud of this. From childhood to adulthood, as long as her father bought the watermelon, it will be delicious.
However, she was also a little bit murmured in her heart. Just now, her dad ran back and forth in the car and it took only over an hour. It seemed that it had been two hours since her father returned.
Mei Zhonghua came back almost at nine o'clock. When he came back, the sun rose high and his face was tanned red and black.
"Dad... What's wrong with you..." Mei Xiaoran noticed the abnormality, her father was covered in dust, and it looked like he had fallen.
The two elder brothers hurriedly helped Mei Zhonghua get out of the car. Mei Zhonghua broke his elbow, bleeding from the outside, and there were several broken watermelons on the shelf.
"Dad, where did you fall? Isn't it serious? I'll get you some purple potion and wipe it."
In those days, whether it was an adult or a child, as long as it was a bruise, it was disinfected with purple syrup, which was cheap and easy to use, but it didn’t look good on the skin.
"Don't go, what a little scratch? Don't waste that money."
Seeing his dad's face is not good, Mei Xiaoran couldn't help asking him the reason, "Dad, what is going on?"
"Don't mention it!"
In fact, half of Mei Zhonghua's injuries were bruises and half were injured by others.
Yesterday, he ran twice to Xiaodongying in a row, which attracted the attention of others. When he was pulling the watermelon for the second time, someone deliberately hit him from behind.
