Xia Mian counted the money happily and told Aunt Liu that it was only a dozen yuan in interest, but in fact Zhang Qiming still had to pay nearly fourteen thousand to redeem the things.
After all, he had already told her to figure it out on her own first, and since she had spent the money, he would figure it out, so she had no reason to be polite.
But she was still worried about how to spend the money within a few days.
Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and leaned on the sofa, thinking, "Actually, renting a house is the best option, but I'm afraid your scumbag dad won't agree."
She thought about it for a long time yesterday and felt that it would be difficult to leave the Zhang family all of a sudden.
After all, Zhang Qiming is Xiao Feng's biological father, and he wants to establish an image of a good person.
Not to mention whether Xiaofeng would be allowed to live alone with him, even if he let her go, as the legal guardian, he would have to be there for Xiaofeng at every stage of her schooling.
If he really wanted to destroy Xiaofeng, it would be too easy.
And there is also the problem of the original body itself. It is now completely certain that Zhang Qiming is eyeing the original body's property and will not let him go easily.
Otherwise, it would be very easy to drive her away.
As long as she made a phone call to the Xia family's hometown, the second uncle of the Xia family would definitely come to pick her up, and no one would say anything even if she was forcibly taken to school.
After all, sixteen years old is still a minor, and Xia's second uncle can completely act as a guardian.
"How about we go to Mingxi County?" Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and discussed, "Mingxi County is quite far from here, and it won't be easy for your scumbag father to interfere with you."
"Let's live in peace for a few years. When I'm admitted to college and become an adult, I'll find a way to snatch custody from your scumbag father."
Actually, it is the worst option. Xia Mian doesn't really want to go to the county town. It's natural for young people to yearn for big cities. She transferred schools when she was a child and she knows very well that talent is one thing, and the teaching staff, environment and human growth are also very important. Not to mention Xiao Feng, she has to study hard all her life, she is still in her alma mater, Capital Normal University.
The enrollment rate of Mingxi County No. 1 Middle School is pitifully low, and being able to enter a second-tier university is worth setting off firecrackers for joy...
"It would be great if I had a lot of money." Xia Mian said while lying on the sofa, "If you throw 100,000 yuan on your scumbag father's face, he will definitely agree to transfer your household registration to me, and your aunt will take you to study wherever you want."
After thinking about it, I felt unhappy again, "Why should I give money to scumbags? Can't we keep it for ourselves? There is no problem in the world that money can't solve. If it can't solve it, it means that the money is not enough."
Well, that's the correct way of thinking.
Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and began to daydream, "It would be great if I could win the lottery. I wouldn't be greedy, I would just win one million. With one million, I would take you to study in a big city. With your scumbag father and my scumbag uncle's abilities, they would definitely not be able to find us."
"We can at least live in peace for a few years. When I, your aunt, come of age, I won't be afraid of them anymore. If we can wait until you come of age, we can crush them to the ground."
Xia Mian became excited as he spoke, and began to calculate how much money it would cost to realize a daydream. "The house price in Yan City should be around one or two thousand, right? I think I can get a residence permit if I buy a house later?"
"That's totally worth it. Let's buy a 40-square-meter house. What kind of decoration do you like?" He looked around the Zhang family's house.
She rolled up Xiao Feng's silly hair with her fingers and said, "Forty square meters is still a bit small. We need at least two rooms. Decoration, furniture and appliances, and tuition for our school..."
"Auntie calculated with her fingers and found that one million is a little too little." Xia Mian sighed, "Let's be greedy and win five million."
"Now that we are well off, let's buy a 100-square-meter house with three bedrooms and a living room. We can each have one room, and the remaining room can be used as my study and you as your studio... Beautiful!"
Xiao Feng understood Xia Mian's fantasy and said happily, "My aunt will live here?"
"Okay, it's just the two of us living here." Xia Mian said.
Xiao Feng was emitting bubbles of joy all over his body. Seeing that he took it seriously, Xia Mian hurriedly said, "At least you can get five million."
"five million?"
"Well," Xia Mian said with some regret, "In our current situation, the only way out is to win the lottery, or find an antique, or buy some stocks."
After listing all the ways to get rich overnight, Xia Mian was worried that he had missed something. He thought hard and found one. "Maybe our house in my hometown can be demolished and we can get a compensation of one or two hundred thousand..."
The child looked at her seriously, his eyes blinking, as if he was remembering what she said. Xia Mian also blinked. Did she teach the child bad things
She picked up the child and spun him around by his armpits, "Fly, fly!" She quickly forgot what she had just said.
The child giggled and he obviously enjoyed the game.
Xia Mianyu worked even harder, causing Xiao Feng's foot to be rubbed somewhere, and something fell to the ground with a "pop".
Xia Mian stopped and found that it was a book placed on the shelf next to the color TV. It was probably accidentally bumped into the side when moving the color TV.
"Stamp Collection?" Xia Mian flipped through it. "Hey, your scumbag dad has such an elegant hobby? This should be your mother's hobby."
As far as I can remember, Xia Chun was very fond of stamp collecting. It was a habit she had when she made pen pals in her early years, and she gradually became crazy about it. When she got married, there were five large stamp albums of Xia Chun at home.
After Zhang Qiming and I got married, their family conditions were not good. They squeezed into her teacher's dormitory, which was not spacious enough, and she didn't seem to continue her hobby much.
Hearing that it was something his mother liked, Xiao Feng couldn't help but stretching his neck. Xia Mian simply held him in his arms and sat on the sofa and started looking through the books.
Then I found out that it was not about explaining stamp knowledge at all, but about evaluating the value of stamps.
It contains the most valuable stamps so far, ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands.
Xia Mian didn't know much about stamps, so she could only sigh, "If only your mother's stamp album was still there, we could see if there was a Chinese stamp with red mountains and rivers that could sell for half a million."
Xiao Feng looked up at her expectantly, "Is it enough to buy a house in Xueyan City?"
The little guy has a good memory, and Xia Mian doesn't want to hurt his young heart again. "It's a little short of buying a house, but it's enough for Xueyan City."
As soon as Xia Mian finished speaking, Xiao Feng swayed from side to side with joy, and bubbles of joy began to appear all over his body, "Yes!"
"What?" Xia Mian was stunned.
"I have one." Xiao Feng pointed at the stamp with the Chinese landscape in red on it, "I have one."
After saying that, he ran with his short legs towards the small dark room where he used to live.
After Huang Xiaojuan came back from the police station, she immediately cleaned up the small dark room, erasing all traces of the child's life and leaving only a few messy things.
Xiao Feng grunted as he pulled out a sack from the corner. Xia Mian hurried over to help, "Is that you?"
Xiao Feng nodded happily, dragged the sack to the living room, and began to search for the odds and ends inside:
A wooden pony, a bamboo dragonfly, a small slingshot—all of them were broken;
Two sets of clothes and a pair of shoes, which should be worn in winter or spring - all of them were torn and dirty;
A few picture books—completely soiled, with shoe prints and scribbles in ballpoint pen.
The first one is Xiaofeng's entire belongings.
Xia Mian looked uncomfortable, but Xiao Feng was delighted. After happily turning out a black leather stamp album, he finally held up a very small and insignificant stamp album: "Aunt, we have it!"
aestivation:!!!
However, Xia Mian was first attracted by the black-leather stamp album, which was one of Xia Chun's five stamp albums.
Four years after Xia Chun passed away, Zhang Qiming made a special trip to Xia's hometown to pack up Xia Chun's personal belongings, saying that he wanted to remember her by seeing her belongings.
At that time, Xia's mother didn't know about his affair with Huang Xiaojuan, so she felt very comforted that her son-in-law cared about her daughter so much.
But he only gave up a piece of it symbolically, because Yu Xiachun's favorite stamp album was not to be given to anyone.
The old lady didn't know the value of the stamps, she just thought that her daughter was her favorite and she could keep them forever, but her son-in-law couldn't. Sometimes it was because the young couple had a deep love for each other, but sooner or later he would forget her daughter if he had a new husband.
However, Zhang Qiming cried while holding Xia Chunyu's stamp album, saying that it contained stamps with which they had written letters to each other. He looked even sadder than Xia's mother, and later he even fainted.
It seemed as if he would lose his life without the stamp albums. Xia's mother was soft-hearted, so in the end, the five stamp albums fell into Zhang Qiming's hands.
Xia Mian realized something and opened the stamp album.
Sure enough, all the stamps were stuffed together in a mess.
The man stuffed stamps from five stamp albums into one, with more than a dozen stamps stuffed into one slot, causing quite a few of them to be damaged. It was obvious that the owner didn't care for them at all.
But that insignificant little stamp album, each stamp in it was wrapped in a transparent protective bag and preserved very carefully.
Of course, all the stamps are the most valuable stamps at the moment without exception: a set of red stamps "stamped with small characters for one yuan", a set of Chinese mountains and rivers in red, and a set of Chinese Peking Opera artists with and without teeth...
Xia Mian counted them and found that there were ten rare stamps of various kinds.
Do you know how it feels to become rich overnight? Xia Mian knows it anyway. She feels like she is floating all over the place...
However, if it wasn't for the time being, she could be sure that Zhang Qiming knew the value of Xia Chun's stamps from the very beginning!
Thinking of how he pretended to be affectionate and deceived Xia's mother's trust, she felt really disgusted.
"Where are you from?" Xia Mian asked Xiao Feng.
"It's my mom." Xiao Feng said seriously, "My scumbag dad said no one can move."
"Did Zhang Qiming give it to you after you came here, or has it always been in your hands?" Xia Mian asked carefully.
"I brought it from..."
Combining Xiao Feng's narration, Xia Mian dug out another thing from her original memory and roughly guessed why Zhang Qiming put the stamp album in Xiao Feng's heart.
People living in small towns did not understand the value of stamps at first, but as living standards improved and newspapers and television became more popular, people gradually became aware of it.
Almost everyone who knows Xia Chun knows that she collects stamps.
So although Zhang Qiming successfully took the stamp album from Xia's mother's house at the beginning, there was still a man in the Xia family who was greedy for money, never satisfied with taking advantage of others, and dreamed of getting rich quickly all day long: Second Uncle Xia.
One day, Uncle Xia saw in the newspaper that stamps could be sold for a lot of money, so he immediately came to take Xia Chun's stamp album. When he learned that the stamp album was taken away by Zhang Qiming, he naturally went to ask for it back.
Zhang Qiming refused to give it to him, so Second Uncle Xia stayed in his single dormitory for half a month and even followed Zhang Qiming to see if he was selling stamps.
Zhang Qiming left the things to Xiaofeng on the grounds that they were her mother's relics.
At that time, Xiao Feng was still a baby, and he couldn't raise her alone, so he naturally gave her to his mother.
Therefore, the stamp album and Xiaofeng stayed together in Zhang Qiming's hometown, Daliangshan, for a few years, and were brought together when Xiaofeng came here half a year later.
But Zhang Qiming probably didn't expect that Xia's mother would go to school at this critical juncture.
Because he had shown deep affection for Xia Chun at the time, and the courtesies had continued over the past few years, it was natural for him to learn how to express his condolences.
This reminded Second Uncle Xia of something, and it caused another round of entanglement. I think this was the reason why Zhang Qiming did not act rashly.
After all, Second Uncle Xia was more obsessed with money than a wild dog was with a bone. He once squatted at the foot of a wall for a whole month just to find out whether his neighbor had made a fortune in silence.
Then he started eating meat every day and came to a definite conclusion. In the end, he pestered her so much that he took advantage of an old hen and only stopped temporarily.
So the stamp album stayed with Xiao Feng until now. It might also be because the huge compensation from Xia Chun was enough for them to live comfortably. Stamps became more valuable as time went by, and it was safe enough to keep it in Xiao Feng's hands, so he was not in a hurry.
But it can also be seen that Zhang Qiming is not an ordinary person in terms of caution and patience. No wonder he can become one of the major villains in the book.
But so what
Xia Mian couldn't help but chuckle. After enduring for so long, the thing finally fell into her hands, right
Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and sighed loudly, then spun him around in circles, "Will your scumbag dad be mad to death? Hahaha..."
Xia Mian took Xiao Feng to reorganize Xia Chunyu's stamps. After all, they were Xia Chunyu's relics and should be well preserved no matter how valuable they were.
During the whole process, Xia Mian also issued half a page of monkey stamps!
!!! Get rich, get rich!
I don’t know much about other stamps, but the Monkey Stamp is a well-known stamp that many stamp novices are familiar with. Its value has increased 200,000 times in 30 years, and its collection value is extremely high among stamps.
However, it didn't seem to be very valuable at the moment, so Zhang Qiming stuffed it randomly into a pile of stamps.
One of the pieces was damaged due to improper storage, and Xia Mian barely managed to piece together two intact quadruples, and the others were put away individually.
In addition, there are ten 50-yuan notes in RMB.
Oh no, he treats Xiao Feng as his private warehouse!
It can be seen that Huang Xiaojuan didn't know about the stamp incident. Xia Mian turned her head and had an idea to take the stamps away without anyone noticing.
What should I do if I get some private money? Of course I should confiscate it! Xia Mian stuffed the money into Xiao Feng's pocket, feeling very happy.
Xiao Feng was also very happy. He took out the money, gave it to Xia Mian, and asked expectantly, "Aunt, can we study in Yan City now?"
"Yes!" Xia Mian was not conflicted, because the stamp album was Xia Chun's marital property, and it originally belonged to Xia's mother. After Xia's mother passed away, it naturally belonged to her original self.
However, Xia Mian is not her original body, so she decided to leave it to Xiao Feng.
If conditions permit, she wants to wait until Xiaofeng is old enough to understand and let him personally deal with his mother's belongings, but now it is more urgent for Xiaofeng to leave the Zhang family.
If necessary, she would sell one or two tickets as appropriate. She believed that Xia Chun would not bear to see her child suffer in such a den of wolves.
With this stamp album as a backup, Xia Mian is confident that he can successfully leave the Zhang family!
The first step is to let Xiao Feng move into the Xia family's household registration book!
Xia Mian looked around the living room which was quite empty. They should agree, right
Even if Zhang Qiming tries to hold on for the sake of face, doesn't Huang Xiaojuan still have leverage over her, and more than one
"Let's eat first. After dinner, we'll take you to get the injury report." Xia Mian said.
It was very hot at noon, so Xia Mian made some cold noodles. After the meal, I had some iced double skin milk as dessert. It was so comfortable.
Xiao Feng was so happy that her face was wide open, but she still remembered Xia Mian said she wanted to give it to the neighbors, "To Brother Zhuangzhuang, Grandpa Tang... Brother Ning?"
Xiao Feng frowned slightly, a little confused. He still remembered Xia Mian taught him to call him Grandpa Tang, but yesterday he was taught to call him Brother Ning.
Xia Mian almost spit out a mouthful of double-skin milk, "Who taught you to call him brother?"
Xiao Feng ate Shuangpi milk and tilted her head, "Brother Ning, send me some."
Xia Mian curled her lips, "How dare you call me brother, Master Ning..."
Xia Mian suddenly thought that Doctor Ning seemed to be from Yan City! And his family was very rich!
She decided to take Xiao Feng to study in Yan City because in her previous life, let’s call it her previous life, she lived in Yan City and was familiar with the place.
However, although this book is written based on a real background, there is also a discrepancy. What if the life in Yan City is different from that in Yan City
Moreover, having help from acquaintances always saves time and effort rather than groping around in an unfamiliar place.
Furthermore, things like collecting stamps at high prices are just games for the rich, so it seems very necessary to build a good relationship with Dr. Ning downstairs.
"He asked you to call me Brother Ning, so just call me Brother Ning." Xia Mian said flexibly, "You have a good nephew."
"Let's go, let's send Brother Ning some double skin milk!"
After delivering two bowls to the home of old lady Liu, Xia Mian took Xiao Feng downstairs and happened to meet Dr. Ning who came after get off work at noon.
Xia Mian immediately put on a warm smile, "Doctor Ning, I'm here!"
As he spoke, he gently pushed Xiao Feng, who raised her little face and greeted him obediently, "Brother Ning."
Ning Shaobai was a little surprised. He touched the hair on Xiao Feng's head and responded. But when he looked at Xia Mian, his face was clearly alert. "What bad idea do you have?"
Xia Mian took two deep breaths and whispered, "How could that be? I'm just sorry for what happened before. I made this double skin milk by myself and I'll give it to you to try."
Ning Shaobai also imitated her and whispered, "Did you poison it yourself?"
aestivation:…
According to your attitude, you can totally look forward to it!
For Xiao Feng, I endured it! Xia Mian tried hard to maintain a fake smile, "Doctor Ning is really good at joking, this with diced fruit is really delicious."
As they were talking, a tall girl came in from the building entrance. Her face lit up when she saw Tang Sanzang, "Doctor Ning, it's time to get off work." Seeing Xia Mian standing in front of Ning Shaobai with diced fruit in her hand, she thought the handsome Doctor Ning was being harassed again, so she immediately said, "Little girl, Doctor Ning doesn't like strawberries, please stop making things difficult for him."
After saying this, she gave Dr. Ning a reserved smile and slowly went upstairs with her slender waist twisted.
Xia Mian looked down at the diced strawberries in the bowl and asked anxiously: Do you really not like them
Ning Shaobai sneered, his eyes said: You gave me food that I don't want as an apology, but you gave me food that I don't like to eat as an apology.
Teacher Mi also heard the noise and came out to see, "Xiao Bai, who are you talking to? Why don't you come in?"
Xia Mian obediently handed over the two bowls of double skin milk that were in the basket, "Teacher Mi, these are made by me. I'm giving them to your uncle Chen to try."
"Oh, it looks good," Teacher Mi said, "I heard from Xinmei that you are a good cook, Xia Mian. Come in quickly. I just cut a watermelon and can't finish it."
I originally planned to leave Xia Mian after delivering the things, and then I took Xiao Feng into the house.
She placed three bowls of double-skin milk on the table and asked Mr. Chen who was reading a newspaper, "Mr. Chen, what kind of fruit do you like to eat? Where is Teacher Mi?"
Engineer Chen looked at the diced fruit and said, "We like to eat everything. What is this, tofu pudding? It's so tender."
"It's not tofu pudding, it's double skin milk." Xia Mian said as he put the diced fruit on it. "It's made with milk and eggs. Even Teacher Mi can eat it."
Mr. Chen became interested, "Oh, then I'll try it."
Teacher Mi just came over with a spoon. Ning Shaobai had just sat down at the table when a bowl of double skin milk was immediately pushed over to him. He looked at the diced strawberries that were almost sticking out with an expressionless face.
Xia Mian looked at him eagerly, "Doctor Ning, try it carefully, it's really delicious."
As he said this, he touched Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng immediately raised her head and said in a baby voice, "Brother Ning, it's delicious."
Ning Shaobai: …
Upon hearing this, Teacher Mi smiled and said, "Who taught you that? How can you call me Brother Ning?"
Engineer Chen smiled and said, "Xiao Bai was teasing the child yesterday." He said to Xiao Feng kindly, "You can't call me Brother Ning. There's a generation gap."
Xiao Feng was full of doubts, and Xia Mian quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a name. If Doctor Ning likes it, I don't mind."
Ning Shaobai: …
You stinky girl!
Xia Mian was in a good mood and went upstairs. The summer gradually became quiet in the afternoon. Xia Mian was taking a nap with Xiao Feng in her arms when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Just by hearing the sound, she felt that the visitor was not very polite.
Xiao Feng was suddenly awakened just when she was about to fall asleep. Xia Mian had just walked to the door when the sound of banging on the door started again. She opened the door unhappily, and frowned when she saw someone standing outside.
I didn't expect that this person would come to me.
Standing outside the door was the chicken boss from yesterday, but today he had become the younger brother, led by two people who looked a few years older than him.
The leader slowly took off his sunglasses and hung them on the collar of his floral shirt. He looked Xia Mian up and down with a look of amazement in his eyes. He raised his lips and eyebrows and said in a self-righteous and charming way, "Are you Xia Mian?"
Xia Mian ignored him and looked at Brother Jitou and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The chicken-headed brother's eyes flickered as he looked at the man in the flowered shirt and sunglasses, "Our brothers Long and Hu want to talk to you about something."
Toad Mirror wiped his lower lip with his thumb, looked around, and his eyes fell on the security door. "You're not going to open the door? Are you sure you want to chat with us like this?"
Brother Hu, who had a tattoo on his arm, was tall, but his waist and back were hunched. His eyes looked at Xia Mian in a lewd manner, not hiding his greed. "It's okay to chat like this. By then, everyone in this place will know that you are our girlfriend."
Xia Mian looked down and saw that the door of the guest bedroom was closed. She opened the door and let the person in.
Seeing Xia Mian open the door, the two of them seemed to be sure of catching their prey, and saw Brother Long sitting down on the sofa.
The tiger-armed young man looked around the room, finally opened the door of the master bedroom and took a look, then said with satisfaction, "Brother Long, that room is pretty good."
After he finished speaking, he took out two cigarettes and handed one to Brother Long. Brother Jitou immediately took out a lighter from his pocket and lit them for both of them.
Xia Mian went straight to the kitchen and brought a bowl of water.
Brother Long blew out a smoke ring and said arrogantly, "Little girl, you extorted so much money from us yesterday, and now you are just using raw water to fool us?"
He pointed to the fruit plate on the chest of drawers and said, "Bring that over here."
Xia Mian was surprised. People thought she was serving them water. That was really interesting.
She didn't even bother to turn the water over, she just threw the water out of the water, pouring it all over the two people's faces, and the cigarette butt naturally went out.
"We have children at home and smoking is not allowed."
"Fuck..." Brother Long was about to stand up, "Little bitch..."
Xia Mian stuffed the white porcelain bowl into his mouth, causing his teeth to clash with a loud noise. Brother Long was forced to lean back and sit back on the sofa.
Xia Mian said impatiently, "Keep your voice down, the child just fell asleep."
The tiger brother was not very strong, and he didn't feel at all at ease when he saw this, and even rushed over and shouted "You bitch..."
Xia Mian made an impatient "tsk" sound, supported himself with the porcelain bowl stuffed in Brother Long's mouth, raised his leg and gave a flying kick. The rest of Brother Tiger ended with his two brothers' dislocated jaws.
Xia Mian grimaced and put down her legs. The guy was quite tall, and when she kicked him, she pulled her hamstrings which had been stretched from the splits yesterday. It was a bit sore.
He looked at the only one who could still speak, Jitou Ge, and said, "Tell me, what else did Zhang Qiming ask you to do?"
Brother Jitou looked at Brother Long and Brother Hu, and subconsciously touched the camera hanging around his neck.
