Chapter 19

Breaking into the empty door

After entering the house, Linzhi opened the package. Nie Chong saw that she had brought several more books, curiously came up and flipped through it. Looking at the words "Senior High School" written on it, I couldn't help but admire it. I heard that those who can get into high school are very good. No wonder my sister-in-law is so smart.

"Sister-in-law, do you really want to take the college entrance exam?"

"yes."

"After getting into college, are you going to study? The university is far away from home, right?"

"It's quite far away, maybe I have to take the train." Linzhi knew that she was going to leave this house one day, so she could give Nie Chong a shot first, "But it's not that fast, at least she has to wait another year."

One year...

My brother should wake up then, right?

Nie Chong remembers that a college student appeared in the next town last year, and he was almost praised. College is definitely not that easy to take the exam... Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah, my sister-in-law is so powerful, she will definitely get the exam!

Linzhi suddenly asked again, "Is there anything wrong with you later?"

"Sister-in-law has anything to help with."

"Since it's nothing, go to class. It's time to finish the first class in the morning."

“…”

Nie Chong thought about chopping firewood, watering the ground, feeding chickens, and cooking, but he never thought about going to school.

"When I went out in the morning, I saw a bungalow with red flags in it. It's your elementary school, right?"

"Sister-in-law, I haven't been to school for almost a month."

"So you can't leave it." Lin Zhi was determined to send him away, "When you go, tell the teacher that you will go back to class in the future."

"But lunch..."

"I'll just come for lunch. I've almost learned it these two days."

How can this work?

What if my sister-in-law is tired?

And he is not here, who will take care of the eldest brother?

Nie Chong left the house with great worries, but he didn't walk far away, his shoulder was suddenly hooked. He looked up and found that it was the red hair from the village.

Red hair is not called Red Hair, because his hair turned red when he was born, so he got this nickname. Later, he became used to being called the nickname, so no one called his real name.

"Carry a small schoolbag and go to school?"

Hongmao is a few years older than Nie Chong, and she doesn't go to school or work. The villagers ask their children to play with him less, but it doesn't prevent him from becoming the king of children nearby.

Hongmao has seen the world and has many tricks. Nie Chong heard a lot of things from him, "My sister-in-law doesn't let me work, I'll go to school."

"How good to go to school, is your sister-in-law good to you?"

"Why don't you go?"

"I'm not the material for studying." Hongmao looked at him with a sad face and asked again, "How do you do it like going to school when you go to the grave?"

"I'm not at ease when my brother is alone at home."

"Isn't you your sister-in-law?" Hongmao understood after saying that, "Are you afraid that she will run away? It's okay, I'll help you stare at her!"

"Sister-in-law doesn't run away, but you can't let all work be done." Otherwise, you'll have to run away sooner or later.

"Your sister-in-law didn't say anything. And if you are not here, they can cultivate feelings."

The red-haired smiled badly, and Nie Chong suddenly realized, was it because his sister-in-law thought he had occupied the eldest brother?

On the other hand, Lin Zhi took out the textbooks she had pressed yesterday, sorted them out and placed them beside her bed, and planned to take them out to review when she had time. She hadn't been to school for a long time and forgot a lot of her knowledge.

Then she came to the kitchen, watered the bean sprouts, and covered them with old clothes to prevent them from being exposed to light.

It takes five or six days to grow bean sprouts. Linzhi plans to soak half a pound today so that new bean sprouts will be available every day.

She took out the remaining reed strips and was about to continue weaving the seedling pot when she saw a figure flashing by at the door.

Even in broad daylight, Linzhi was inevitably a little scared. Everyone was working at this point. Could it be that someone was going to break into the empty door?

She returned to the room, picked up a rolling pin, and hid silently behind the door.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Linzhi heard someone walking into the yard quietly. She held her breath and waited for the man to come to the door. She was about to raise the rolling pin and smash it down when she suddenly saw that the other party was a girl.

Linzhi hurriedly stopped, but still scared the other party. She staggered back two steps and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Linzhi supported the person in time.

At the same time, a bag of things fell to the ground.

Linzhi quickly helped her pick it up, "Sorry, I thought there was a thief at home."

“…”

She took the bag and was about to leave. After hesitating for a few seconds, she looked back at Linzhi, as if she had something to say.

"Are you here to find someone?" Lin Zhi took the lead in breaking the silence.

The girl nodded slowly.

"I...I saw Nie rushed out of the door and thought there was no one at home."

"He went to school."

Lin Zhi suddenly remembered that this person was the girl who was crying at the door on the day of her wedding. She guessed it was probably, "Are you here to get the bowl?"

The girl raised her eyes in surprise and brought the bag in her hand to Linzhi, "This is for you."

Linzhi opened it and there was a small bag of flour inside. She asked, "Why should we give us food?"

The girl pursed her lips and said after a while, "Can I go in and see Brother Nie?"

"Are you Nie Shujun's friend?"

"……Um."

When he saw Nie Shujun's face, the other party couldn't stop crying again, and he cried so much that I felt pity for him.

If it were an ordinary friend, it wouldn't be like this. Linzhi brought her a stool, "Are you okay?"

"sorry."

She said that her name is Ma Qiulian, and she is from Shitou Village. She knew Nie Shujun since she was a child. She had heard that Linzhi had to eat with her second wife before, so she secretly sent steamed buns.

Although Lin Zhi thanked her kindness, she asked for her sake, "Did you get this flour from home?"

"Although it's a little less, it's still enough to eat one or two."

"I can't ask for this." Linzhi stuffed the bag back into Chen Jia's hand. "Although Nie Chong and I have been a little sad, we can't live. If you send it once or twice, your family may not find it, but sooner or later we will be known."

Then, let alone Chen Jia will be scolded, even Nie Shujun and her will be criticized.

Ma Qiulian buried her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "He is so sick, but I can't help with anything. You can accept this. Brother Nie is so thin!"

"He can't eat flour." It's not that Lin Zhi is cruel, but she can't make such a hole. "Nie Chong and I have eaten the steamed buns before, and I don't have steamed buns to pay you back. If you don't mind, please keep this skirt and say you're changing it with steamed buns when you go back."

She brought two skirts from the Lin family. One was worn by Xu Ling, and Linzhi didn't plan to take them anymore. She just didn't want to get the cheaper one. The other one was brand new. She had no chance to wear them when she arrived in Qingshan Village. This Ma Qiulian was about the same size as her and should be able to wear them.
