Chapter 4 It's so cool to get two hundred dollars back from the scumbag
"Didn't the Zhao family give you two hundred yuan as a gift before? You said you were not feeling well and wanted to go to the hospital to see a doctor. You didn't have enough money. I lent you the two hundred yuan?"
Yang Debao frowned and looked unhappy. He had coaxed her to give the two hundred yuan, so why did it become a loan?
There were many educated youths watching the fun, and Li Rong deliberately spoke loudly. They must have heard that Li Rong's gift money was "lent" to him. If Yang Debao directly asked if the money was for him, they would think Yang Debao was immoral.
, he just accepted other people’s gift money and spent it, but when the time comes, he will have nowhere to put his face.
Yang Debao twitched the corner of his mouth and could only agree: "Oh! I remembered it. In this way, I will send you home tomorrow."
He thought about stabilizing Li Rong first. Li Rong must be playing tricks. As long as he coaxes her in private tomorrow, she will definitely not mention the two hundred yuan again.
When Li Rong heard this, she immediately became smart. How could she "force" him to cough up money tomorrow?
At this moment, other educated youths were looking at it, what a great opportunity, if Li Rong agreed, he would definitely not get back the two hundred yuan.
Li Rong looked embarrassed: "You should return it to me today. Yesterday, Qingsong and I were calculating family money after we separated. They asked me where the two hundred yuan gift went. If you don't return it, I'm afraid he will come find it later."
."
The educated youth are most afraid of having disputes with the villagers. The people in the village are of the same mind. They are educated youths from outside. If something happens, there are only a few educated youths. If they conflict with the villagers, they will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.
An educated youth from an unknown house shouted: "Yang Educated Qing, you should return the money to Li Educated Qing first. Li Educated Qing has no food to eat."
"Yeah, when the old Zhao family comes over, it won't be easy for you to say."
Those who looked down on Yang Debao seized the opportunity and said angrily: "How can anyone take advantage of other people's gift money? They are not from the mother's family."
Yang Debao gritted his teeth and had to take out the two hundred yuan with great pain. When he handed it to Li Rong, he touched her hand and said with affection in his eyes: "Xiao Rong, if you were wronged in the Zhao family
, you must tell me.”
In front of everyone, Li Rong didn't expect that he would dare to make such a small move, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "I know, you are my natal brother, I will come to you if anything happens. I will go back first, Qingsong is waiting for me to go back and cook.
Woolen cloth."
"...."
Li Rong went home with a huge sum of two hundred and thirty yuan. An aunt greeted her on the way. Li Rong recalled it and shouted with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, where are you going?"
"I went to get the chickens. If the chickens at home are eaten, I have to bring back two more to raise." In this era, chicken raising is regulated. One household can only raise two to three poultry. Any more is capitalism.
, will be criticized.
Li Rong's face lit up: "Aunt Zhang, I also want to raise two. Can you help me hold two?"
Aunt Zhang also knew that the young couple had just separated and it was normal to raise chickens. She said, "It's only a dime each. If you want it, I will bring it back for you."
"Okay." Li Rong counted out two cents and gave her a handful of melon seeds. "I want a hen. Raise it to lay eggs."
"Don't worry," Aunt Zhang patted her chest and vowed, "Auntie will definitely give you a baby that will lay eggs every day.
Li Rong didn't pay extra for hard work. The chickens usually sold for seven to nine cents. Aunt Zhang said it was ten cents apiece, so she already made a profit in the middle.
When we got home, Lao Zhao's family had just come home from work to have lunch, and they had porridge with pickles.
Zhao Qingsong probably cooked by himself because he didn't see her coming back. He cooked porridge and mixed with pickles. There was no food at home. Li Rong said while eating: "I'm going to the county town later, will you go?"
Zhao Qingsong remained silent.
Li Rong poked him with the end of her chopsticks: "I want to ask you something."
Zhao Qingsong replied stiffly: "I won't go."
"If you don't go, I won't go." Li Rong felt something was wrong with the man, but couldn't tell where it was, so she told him what she thought. "You have time at home this afternoon to clean up the small woodshed next to it. When the time comes,
It’s not convenient to build a kitchen and use it with my mother and the others all the time.”
Zhao Qingsong nodded to express his understanding.
After eating, Li Rong consciously prepared to put away the bowls to wash, but the man took them away first. Zhao Qingsong looked calm and suddenly said: "I have never been divorced."
"Ah?" Li Rong suddenly remembered the lies she told Luo Bing not long ago. Unexpectedly, the man was relieved. She smiled, "I know, I was just lying."
Zhao Qingsong got angry when he saw her smiling, knowing that this woman had a bad mouth, so he pursed his lips and walked away with the bowl.
Li Rong looked at his sullen back and burst into laughter.
In the evening, Zhao's mother came back to cook. She looked at a pile of debris in the yard and called Zhao Qingsong. The latter walked out: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"How do you move these things out?"
"This firewood shed is empty. I'll clean it up and build a small stove to make cooking easier in the future."
"Hey, what are you going to do if you don't have a pot?"
"There will be. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the next two days to have a look." Zhao Qingsong sorted out the debris outside, "Dad, haven't they finished work yet?"
"Come on. I've been delayed for a while. It's time to come back now." Mother Zhao glanced into the room, "Where is your wife?"
"I went out and said I had sent something home and I wanted to get it back."
"Alas," Mother Zhao sighed, "you two have to live a good life after the family separation. You two can't work, and you don't know where you will get food from now on. Like this morning, your wife made a lot of lard."
?It’s not okay to be so lavish, you still have to live a careful life."
"I know, mother."
Li Rong, who went out to get something, stood under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village and waited for the bus. It cost only a dime to take her to the county seat.
There was no air conditioning in the car, and even with all the windows open it was still a bit stuffy. Li Rong sat by the window and saw either golden wheat waves or green vegetation outside the window.
She went to the post office first. The people at the post office recognized her and greeted people when they saw her.
Li Rong didn't have much problem with the outside world except for being a nuisance to the male protagonist's family. She smiled and the Li family sent her a big package.
She looked through what was sent inside and found two large packets of toffee. She happily grabbed a handful and gave them to the guy at the post office.
The younger brother pushed and said, "Where can I get sister's things? No, no, no, sister, take them back and eat them."
"Just a few. I have quite a few more here. Oh, hurry up and take them."
How could he take back what he took out? Li Rong couldn't help but stuff it into his hand.
In addition to toffee, there are also some biscuits, melon seeds, peach cakes, red dates, shiitake mushrooms and other dry goods. There is something wrapped in a hard kraft paper. Li Rong opens it and it looks like two pieces of bacon.
