Xu Jiansheng actually came to see the two children alone, which had never happened before. In the past, the whole family had a meal together, and then the husband and wife left with the children.
So after all these years, the sisters Xu Nannan and Xu Jiansheng had no communication at all. This is also the reason why the two children have a weak relationship with Xu Jiansheng and his wife.
Xu Nannan got up and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Xu Jiansheng standing outside.
"dad."
Xu Nannan cried out unwillingly.
Seeing that she didn't really want to see him, Xu Jiansheng frowned and walked inside with his hands behind his back. Xu Jiansheng is a cadre in his unit, and he still has a bit of official authority. When Xu Xiaoman saw him enter the door, he wished he could hide his head in his clothes.
"How is Xiao Man?" Xu Jiansheng had spent a lot of time in the city, and he never called his daughter by her nickname at home, thinking it was too vulgar.
Xu Xiaoman looked at Xu Nannan with a pale face.
Xu Nannan walked over and hugged Xu Xiaoman, "I've been lying on the bed for more than half a month, and now I have no energy. I eat very little every day, and I don't let my milk go to the health center."
Xu Jiansheng heard the complaints in her words, and sighed, "Your mother is not easy, now the situation is not good, and the family is not well-off."
Hearing this, Xu Nannan was happy, "It's not rich, after all, there are still four children going to school."
"Nannan! Are you blaming us?" Xu Jiansheng frowned even more. He owed the child, but he didn't want the child to harbor resentment at such a young age. Such a child will become bad-tempered in the future.
Xu Nannan snorted coldly, "I have no right to resent you." She is not the original owner, so she has no right to resent, at most she just can't get used to it.
Xu Jiansheng looked at her for a long time before heaving a long sigh, "Your mother and I really can't afford to support you. In the city, what you eat is the food supply. If there is not enough food, you have to go hungry. Life in the countryside is hard, but After all, you can eat a bite. Dad left to join the army. He didn't help the family much, and he didn't support your grandma. Now that he has the ability, he can only repay them as much as possible. When you grow up, you will be able to Got it."
Xu Jiansheng felt that it was quite difficult for him. It is not easy to be a soldier. After so many years, I have not been able to stay in the army, so I have to change jobs and return to my hometown. He returned to his hometown and became a section chief in the mine, but he had to raise a few more children, and he and his wife Li Jing usually lived in a very difficult situation. In order to repay his parents and brothers, he felt that these things were worth it.
It is better to owe children than to elders. There is always a chance to repay the debt owed to the children, but how many years does the old man have
What he said was embarrassing, but Xu Nannan couldn't listen to a word. Even if she was a woman, she knew that even if she starved to death, she would never let her children suffer. Not to mention that like Xu Jiansheng, in order to support nephews and nieces, he doesn't care about his own daughters.
Xu Nannan didn't want to talk to him, but she had to rely on Xu Jiansheng for what Song Guihua said.
So after Xu Jiansheng finished speaking, she said, "I don't want to work in the fields anymore, I want to change jobs."
Xu Jiansheng didn't expect his daughter to suddenly change the subject. But... "Have you told your grandma about this?"
Xu Nannan twisted his mouth, "My grandma is going to make me a child bride, how dare I tell her about it?"
"Sister, don't be a child bride!" Xu Xiaoman was shocked when she heard this. She used to hear that many child brides in the old society were tortured to death by their in-laws. Grandma said that if she was not good, she would be sent to be a child bride.
Xu Nannan felt her fear, and guessed the reason, touched her head, "It's okay, my sister won't."
Xu Jiansheng said embarrassingly, "Your grandma's words were out of anger to scare you."
"Who knows," Xu Nannan smiled sarcastically, "I'll tell you about it. When the time comes, I'm going to say something nice to Uncle Gensheng's house, and I'll send something there. I don't have anything in my hand. If you still feel bad that Xiaoman and I are your daughters, then help me this time."
After saying this, Xu Nannan stopped talking and waited for Xu Jiansheng to make a decision.
Xu Jiansheng was silent for a while, and then said, "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things later. You can send them to Gensheng's home."
Hearing Xu Jiansheng's words, Xu Nannan felt relieved. No matter what, you don't have to pay for it yourself. If Xu Jiansheng can get things out, she can save some money and avoid being found out that something is wrong in the future.
The father and daughter seemed to have nothing to say, Xu Jiansheng sat in the room for a while, and then went out.
As soon as Xu Jiansheng went out, the old lady called him into the main room.
"Did that girl just ask you to buy something for her and take it to Gensheng's house?" the old lady asked straight to the point.
Xu Jiansheng was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect how the old lady knew about this matter.
"Mom, Nannan is still young, so I can't work in the fields..."
"It's okay. When I was covering the Red Army, I was only her age. Why can't she do some work? Jiansheng, you can't be too partial. Is it easy for you to earn money? How many children do you need now? How much money our family has is enough to buy things and give gifts for a girl. With this money, it’s better to make two sets of clothes for Leizi and Longlong. Rural children go to the city to study, people look down on them, you have to let them They're decent."
Xu Jiansheng had heard this many times, and he followed suit. No matter how poor he and Li Jing are, the lives of the children are no worse than other city dwellers. But this time, after hearing this, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Right now, I think of Nannan and Xiaoman I just saw in the house.
The two children were sallow and thin, and they were dressed in tatters, but he hadn't noticed it before.
Feeling guilty, Xu Jiansheng didn't agree to the old lady's words, "Mom, it won't take much, just this time, at least let Nan Nan change to an easier job."
"Okay, you don't have me as a mother in your heart anymore, you're the only girl, right? Xu Jiansheng, you heartless white-eyed wolf, you left all those years ago, if it weren't for your two brothers, me and Your father doesn't know what kind of life he is living now. Now that you are capable, you don't pay attention to your family members, do you? Why did I give birth to you as an unfilial son!"
The old lady knocked on the table while talking.
Zhang Cuiqin eavesdropped on this outside the door, and finally covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this.
Just now when she saw Xu Jiansheng running into Erya's house, she was worried that what Erya said would change Xu Jiansheng's mind and take them to the city, so she eavesdropped outside the door. I didn't expect to hear that Erya really asked Xu Jiansheng to buy things and give her gifts, and wanted to change jobs. I was surprised that after the girl fainted once, her brain became active, and she knew these tricks, but she was also worried that Xu Jiansheng really agreed to help her buy things. After all, Xu Jiansheng's money belonged to her son and daughter. Some, her son and daughter should use less, so she hurried to tell the old lady about it.
The old lady had just had such a big fuss with the second girl, how could she have wasted money for that girl, and she immediately called Xu Jiansheng away.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Liu Qiao patted her on the back.
Zhang Cuiqin was startled, turned around and touched her heart, "What are you doing, scaring people."
"We're going to work, Dad asked me to call you." Liu Qiao said, and took a look inside the hall. Seeing the old lady and Xu Jiansheng inside, the old lady was still wiping her tears and patting the table, so she guessed it was because of something about Erya. "Second sister-in-law, let's go, Mom understands."
After speaking, he left with a smile.
Zhang Cuiqin snorted, "I'll pretend all day long, thinking that who doesn't know what you're thinking about."
Liu Qiao went to call Xu Nannan again, but Xu Nannan was not willing to go. She didn't want to go to the field in the first place, but now that Xu Jiansheng came back, of course she had to take this opportunity to rest. Most importantly, Xu Jiansheng said that he would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things for her, and she had to wait at home. Liu Qiao also seemed to have some scruples. Seeing that she was not willing to go, she didn't say anything, so she just took the tools and left.
As soon as Zhang Cuiqin heard that Xu Nannan was not willing to go to the field, she subconsciously went to complain to the old lady. Xu Jianhai couldn't stand it any longer, and dragged her out, "Brother finally came back once, let them hang out more."
Why is this woman so stupid here? There was such a commotion today, the eldest brother must be unhappy, and now he is forcing his daughter to go to the farm, and then he will definitely blame Zhang Cuiqin, his sister-in-law. Can he live a good life in the city with his two children? After all, there are not only his two children in the city, but also the two children of the third child. If the eldest brother is partial, no one can say anything at that time.
Look how smart the third daughter-in-law is. Xu Jianhai suddenly felt that finding a smart wife was really easy.
Xu Nannan has been waiting in the room for news from Xu Jiansheng. After Xu Xiaoman took a nap, she closed her eyes and checked her Taobao store again.
There are still so many funds, even if you only buy the cheapest biscuits in the future, it won't take long. Alas, I thought I could rely on this to live a good life in this era, but I didn't expect that this Taobao store would soon become tasteless.
She was operating the Taobao interface depressedly, and suddenly saw something, her eyes widened in surprise.
There is actually more money on Taobao... more than three hundred! !
Xu Nannan felt that she must be dazzled, no, she checked with her consciousness. Xu Nannan concentrated on looking at the numbers, and sure enough, he saw an amount of more than 1,200.
Really much!
Where did the money come from? While Xu Nannan was pleasantly surprised, he couldn't help being puzzled. Will the money increase by itself? What is the law? You can't just wait like this, wait with luck.
Xu Nannan carefully browsed his Taobao store, looking for clues. Finally, I found that one of the goods in my store was missing.
It was an old version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Xu Nannan still remembered that the pages of this book were already torn, and there was even a lack of content inside. After hanging for a long time, no one bought it. Xu Nannan thought that no one would buy it, but unexpectedly sold it. And it was sold after she came into the sixties. How does this book sell? At least the seller will not pay until the seller receives the goods. She rummaged through the delivery records, and found one, the address on it was the city she lived in in the 21st century, and it was a courier in the same city. No wonder it's so fast, but who sent this item and how
Xu Nannan was dumbfounded.
After being stunned for a while, Xu Nannan smiled joyfully, covering his face with his hands, and smiled happily with his mouth bent.
No matter what happened, there was finally an opportunity to increase income. She still has some goods in her Taobao store, if they sell all of them one after another, she can earn tens of thousands of dollars at least.
How much grain can 10,000 yuan buy
Xu Nannan pursed his lips, and couldn't help but buy himself some delicious food to celebrate.
Xu Nannan was in a good mood, and when he saw Xu Jiansheng again, he always had a smile on his face.
Xu Jiansheng showed an embarrassing and guilty smile.
Seeing him like this, the smile on Xu Nannan's face couldn't hold back anymore, and slowly cooled down, "Dad, didn't you say you went to the supply and marketing agency to buy things, where are the things?"
"Nannan, it's too difficult for the family right now. We need money everywhere. For your matter, wait a little longer. Dad's salary will be paid next month, and then find a way..." Xu Jiansheng didn't have any confidence in what he said. The voice sounds very empty.
Xu Nannan's face was completely cold.
She knew that Xu Jiansheng didn't love his daughter, but she didn't expect that Xu Jiansheng could go back on what he promised her. I said before that I looked at him like a tough guy, which really flattered him. As long as you are a man, you will not break your promise!
Seeing that Xu Jiansheng lowered his head, Xu Nannan didn't continue to ask him why he didn't buy it. Needless to say, I knew what the old lady did.
But it doesn't matter anymore. Since Xu Jiansheng said that, it would be useless for her to say anything else.
"Okay, I see." Xu Nannan entered the room and closed the door.
