On Monday morning, during the early self-study and the end of school, Mei Xiaoran ran faster than usual, waiting for Ouyang at the intersection where he must go home.
When she saw Ouyang Xun passing by, she took the initiative to stop him, "Brother Ouyang!"
When Ouyang Xun saw that it was her, he couldn't help but smile.
The morning breeze made his short hair fly, and his bright smile was brighter than the sun.
Mei Xiaoran felt like her heartbeat stopped for a few beats.
Stop, stop, she's not a little girl anymore, now she belongs to the old cucumber painter, and shouldn't be a nympho for little fresh meat.
"Brother Ouyang, I want you to do me a favor."
This was the first time that Mei Xiaoran asked Ouyang Xun for help. He couldn't help asking, "Did you have problems with your studies?"
"That's not... Brother Ouyang, I didn't ask you to help me with my studies."
Ouyang Xun's wrinkled head wrinkled slightly, and then stretched out again, "Say, why do you want me to help?"
"Brother Ouyang, can you help me find a fluorescent lamp, the kind that can be hand-held and equipped with dry batteries."
Ouyang Xun was stunned, "What do you want this for?"
"Brother Ouyang, just ask if you can find it for me."
In this era, electricity has gradually become popular, but most people use electric lights. Few families are willing to use fluorescent lights, and her family only uses light bulbs. Although fluorescent lights are everywhere on the streets of later generations, they are hard to find now.
Ouyang Xun is already regarded as the family that Mei Xiaoran knows in better conditions, and the chances of borrowing fluorescent lights from him are relatively high.
"Okay, when do you need it?"
"Before the autumn vacation, can you borrow it for me? I'll pay you back after the autumn vacation!" Mei Xiaoran finished speaking, and was afraid of the other party's misunderstanding. Price compensation."
Ouyang Xun smiled, and he still looked so good when he smiled, "It's okay."
This said, it seems that there is a mine at home, so I don't care at all.
Mei Xiaoran was too embarrassed to say anything, and had to change the subject, "Let's go, let's go home together."
Usually when going home after school, Mei Xiaoran will either go with Lu Xia or Mei Xiaolei. Even if they meet Ouyang Xun sometimes, they will go home in small groups. Today there are only two of them, so it's a bit awkward to walk!
"Mei Xiaoran, I heard that you don't speak English
It's very good, you have to work hard! "
It's true that you can pick up which pot you don't open. This morning is the English morning self-study. Mei Xiaoran recites a morning's vocabulary, and his head is almost dizzy. Now he is naturally unhappy to hear this.
"I think I have worked hard enough, but English is a big pit, I jumped in but couldn't get out. Others learn English like me, just like Lu Xia... In the morning, we two learn vocabulary together, and she can learn it in the morning. The vocabulary and text will be memorized in a plenary session. I can barely memorize the vocabulary, and the text cannot be memorized.
These words made Ouyang Xun amused, "Learning English is not as difficult as you said, probably because you have not mastered the method well."
Mei Xiaoran glanced at him unhappily, and thought to himself: Your father is a teacher, and if he can start a small stove for you, you will definitely find it easy!
"If you have time, you can wait for the holiday to come to me, and I can give you counseling."
Ouyang Xun's words made Mei Xiaoran very unconvinced, so she didn't want it!
Like school grass like Ouyang Xun, rumors will be heard from any girl on campus when he gets closer, and Mei Xiaoran doesn't want to get too close to him to lead to misunderstandings.
But she was embarrassed to blatantly refuse, so she could only grunt vaguely.
When self-study was over that night, Ouyang looked for Mei Xiaoran, holding a small cardboard box in his hand, "This is what you want."
"Brother Ouyang, you helped me find it so quickly, thank you so much."
Under the street lamp, Ouyang Xun's eyes seemed to have starlight, "The desk lamp I used happened to be a fluorescent lamp, and it happened to be equipped with dry batteries, so I took it straight away."
It seems that I really found the right person. It turned out that Ouyang Xun had this kind of table lamp in his home. Mei Xiaoran felt that this time I found the right person!
"Brother Ouyang, thank you so much... Didn't I say to wait for the holiday before using it?"
"It's okay. I can share a desk lamp with my sister. You can use it without worrying about returning it to me."
It turned out that Ouyang Xun thought she was going to borrow a lamp to study. Mei Xiaoran was a little embarrassed, but she was not so conscious.
But Ouyang Xun didn't know, and he kept complimenting her, "Student Mei Xiaoran, I know you are pretty good in your English except for your English, especially your composition, which you won and published."
Mei Xiaoran:...
Winning the essay was just an accident, and the publication was also an accident, so don’t you need to praise her like that
, It made her look like a student bully. You must know that she only scored more than 30 points in the English quiz last week.
Finally, Ouyang Xun solemnly told her, "If you work so hard, you will definitely be admitted to a key high school and university..."
Mei Xiaoran could only smile awkwardly.
After rebirth, she wanted to study hard, but the purpose of studying hard was just because she wanted to learn more knowledge and lead the whole family to make a fortune. Don't waste her youth like before. It seems that she didn't have too high aspirations.
Ouyang Xun encouraged her for a long time, and finally turned the topic to English, hoping to help her with tuition during the autumn vacation.
Now Mei Xiaoran really has no reason to refuse, so she can only agree, "Brother Ouyang, I thank you first, then I will go to you to make up the lesson when it's the autumn vacation."
"Okay, then we'll make a decision!"
Ouyang Xun showed a charming smile again, and was very satisfied with Mei Xiaoran's answer...
After the Zhou family was divided, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old lady Zhou invited her second uncle over to preside over the division of the family.
The second uncle of the Zhou family is very prestigious in the big family, and it's natural to find an elder in the family to be the most fair.
It turned out that the two east houses where the Zhou Jincheng couple lived were given to them, three in the West House to the second child, and four in the North House to the third child of the Zhou family. The condition is that the old lady Zhou will also follow the third child in the future and wait until the end. When the three brothers shared it equally. It seems fair except for the boss and the young.
However, Mrs. Zhou did a great job. She didn't give a penny to the old folks, nor did she have any pots and pans. She also asked the boss to give her at least 20 yuan a month for living expenses.
Therefore, after the division, Zhou Jincheng and Li Mingqin had nothing except a bed, a large wardrobe, two chairs, a three-drawer table, and a sewing machine.
Li Mingqin couldn't help crying at that time. She didn't dare to go back to her natal home, because she was afraid that her mother would find out that she was sad, so she went around the firewood market at the bridge head to the Dongguan bridge head and found her elder sister Li Mingyun.
"Eldest sister, what do you say about this? My mother-in-law didn't give us a penny, so she gave us two shattered houses. How can we live this day?"
Mei Xiaoran, who came home from school at noon, just heard her second aunt crying and she jumped up immediately, "Second aunt, at the time we were separated, why didn't you and your second uncle just tell me to ask for money?"
