Time passes, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye. It has also been nearly five months since Song Wenjing was reborn.
At the beginning, there were still a lot of discomforts, especially in terms of food. Even in his previous life, he was not very wealthy. But at least he could still have enough food and clothing, and he could even eat at least some meat every day.
But in today's era, you need meat stamps to buy meat. If you want to eat meat, if your cousin and his company hadn't issued pork stamps every month, Song Wenjing's family would have to wait until the Chinese New Year to eat meat.
Last time, for catching a thief, the police station where Zhou Ping worked was awarded the third-class collective merit, and he himself also won the honor of third-class individual merit.
Catching the thief is not such a big achievement, but the damage caused by the thief is not small. In addition, the police department required to solve the case within a time limit and give an explanation to the people, which is why their Chengguan Town Police Station received this honor.
Zhou Yiping knew the conditions of Song Wenjing's family, so every time he distributed various invoices, he would leave some for him. Even colleagues who had extra money would come over and keep it for Song Wenjing.
Over the past few months, my younger brothers and sisters have regularly enjoyed the New Year treats. Basically, they can eat meat twice a month, as well as some fruits.
It is the time when children are growing up. They were not hungry before, but they were still somewhat deficient in nutrition. As the eldest brother, Song Wenjing would of course pay special attention to these aspects, not to mention not being stingy.
As for the relationship with Yang Lili, after several months of dating, the two of them used to walk side by side. Now Song Wenjing finally mustered up the courage to hold hands, and Yang Lili did not refuse. The two have taken a step forward.
The only annoying thing is that Zhang Dong still didn't give up and often went to chat with Yang Lili. Although he was explicitly rejected, he still remained the same. I don't know what he thought.
Song Wenjing went to find the other party midway, hoping that he would stop harassing her. But the other party said bluntly that he was not pursuing Yang Lili, but just kept in touch because of his classmate relationship.
Song Wenjing had even brought weapons that day, preparing to fight the opponent. But faced with such a scoundrel statement, Song Wenjing really didn't know how to act.
However, after that visit, Zhang Dong did become somewhat restrained. He only occasionally went over to check on Yang Lili, but made no other moves. I don’t know if he was up to something.
The other party didn't do anything wrong, and Song Wenjing couldn't really get angry and take action, so he could only give some warnings.
For more than three months, Song Wenjing has been collecting rags and delivering eggs, which has been quite successful. Basically, on average, he earns seven or eight yuan a day.
In addition to household expenses, he has saved more than 500 yuan so far. If he had not spent 120 yuan to buy a malachite green glaze bowl, he would have even more money.
Of course, he didn't regret it, he was even quite happy. He wished that good things like this would happen to him more often.
Unfortunately, after more than three months, apart from receiving a letter from a famous person during the Republic of China, he received nothing else. This also made him helpless. After all, there are still few good things in the countryside.
And the city is too far away. It takes about two hours to pull an empty truck there every day, not to mention that if there are goods on the truck, it will be even more time-consuming.
"Wen Jing, I just went to see your second aunt. The pain started again today and I couldn't get out of bed. Hey..." Zhou Lijuan came in from the door and saw her son counting money over there, and she had something to say.
In the past, Zhou Lijuan had the final say in the family, but now Song Wenjing is more in charge, especially when it comes to money.
Hearing what his mother said, Song Wenjing was shocked, and then he remembered that there was such a thing.
At the beginning, he promised to treat his second aunt when he got rich.
During this period, besides work, he spent more time dating Yang Lili and forgot about his second aunt.
Moreover, Song Wenjing woke up early every day and rarely went to his second uncle's house, so he didn't think of it right away. If Zhou Lijuan hadn't reminded him just now, he would have waited a while before he would think of it.
It's still raining lightly outside. Looking at the weather today, I can't go out to work.
At this time, his younger brothers and sisters had already gone to school. At home, Song Jianguo was reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with Song Wenjing's collection. Hearing what his wife said, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Wen Jing, how much money does our family have now? If it is enough, we will help as soon as possible. If it is not enough, we will find a way to borrow more. It is better not to delay this matter."
Song Jianguo has never been in charge of family wealth, so he doesn't know how much Song Wenjing has earned in the past few months.
Zhou Lijuan had some idea, but she didn't know how much.
"Dad, Mom, I have a total of more than 530 yuan now. If you exclude family expenses and the fact that you and I have to save some money for scraps and eggs, I should be able to come up with 400 yuan." Song Wenjing said truthfully.
They are all family members, there is no need for him to hide it.
Of course, he would not tell them about the antiques he had recovered. The main reason was that they did not understand these things. If they found out that he spent more than 100 yuan to buy a bowl, they would definitely call him a prodigal.
"It should be enough. Your second uncle should have made more than 200 yuan in the past few months by collecting eggs. Even after excluding some expenses, I believe 100 yuan is still there. Didn't he say that going to the hospital would cost more than 500 yuan? We
The two together should be enough." Song Jianguo said eagerly.
This was his brother's family matter, and he was more anxious than anyone else.
"Dad, why don't you go and call the second uncle over, and we can discuss it. We will see when we can send the second aunt to the hospital."
Song Wenjing gathered together the pile of scattered money in front of him, counted out 400 yuan, and put it aside. If the second uncle's family still didn't have enough money, he would have to pay more. Business can be done slowly, and illness can't continue.
procrastination.
In her previous life, the second aunt basically stayed in bed for the rest of her life because of her waist. Now that Song Wenjing has returned, she will certainly not let such a thing happen again.
What's more, he also has such ability now.
Song Jianping ran over quickly. Song Jianguo probably told him something, so he seemed very excited after entering the room.
"Thank you sister-in-law, thank you Wen Jing. Brother just told me, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the money as soon as possible." Song Jianping said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
How could he want to see his wife sick all day long, often bedridden, enduring the pain? Now his eldest brother and nephew are willing to lend him money, and they are still willing to lend 400 yuan. How about this?
Don't you want to make him extremely happy?
He knew everyone's situation very well. In the past, the difference between his eldest brother's family and theirs was not much different. At least he still had a craft, and his eldest brother couldn't do anything except farming. It was only after his nephew started collecting rags and eggs that he could do anything else.
Starting to have some balance.
400 yuan is a large amount of income for a farm family, and it is even the entire wealth of the eldest brother's family.
Now that he is willing to give it out, even if it is two brothers and his own nephew, it can be regarded as a favor.
It is common for brothers to have various conflicts and even fights over a little money. Now, how could Song Jianping not feel sorry for the eldest brother's family doing this?
"Jianping, you don't have to be like this. Although we are separated, you are my brother and we are a family. Now Wen Jing is somewhat capable. If we should help, we will definitely help." Song Jianguo patted his brother on the shoulder.
comforted.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt can't tow it, so we should send it to a big hospital in the city for surgery as soon as possible. But it's raining again today, and we can't find a car. If we use a trolley to pull it over, we'll have to get wet in the rain. Mine
It means, if it doesn’t rain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will go directly to the hospital, what do you think?”
Song Jianping also knew that it would be inconvenient today. It would take at least more than an hour to drive from the village to the city on a trolley. No matter how much you covered it, you would still be caught in the rain.
Since it's been several years, I don't care about just these two days.
So everyone agreed to decide when to go to the hospital depending on the weather conditions tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
As for the things that needed someone to take care of them, Zhou Lijuan volunteered and asked her to take care of them. Song Jianping also had to collect eggs every day to make money. She mainly collected eggs in the village, which was not very important. It didn't matter if she lost a little income.
.
In the end, the family decided happily.
