Whether time flies like an arrow or days pass like years, these days have to be passed day by day.
Although everyone's lifestyle is different, living means living, and living requires careful planning. After all, there are only a few people who don't have to worry about money.
Tang Qing only had a small amount of income in a month, but even though the money was small, she saved everything except daily expenses.
Tang Qing's daily expenses are very little now. Apart from buying some vegetables, radishes and necessary women's products, she basically spends nothing else.
Tang Qing's grandparents do not allow Tang Qing to pay for his son's daily expenses. His parents also visit his nephew from time to time. In the past, they would always buy new clothes, small toys, etc. During the New Year and holidays, they would also give lucky money and small red envelopes.
, which is equivalent to funding Tang Qing in disguise.
Tang Qing knows that his parents are kind to him, and he only has two wishes in his heart: one is that his son grows up happy and healthy, and the other is that he wants to buy an apartment for the elderly.
The old people had worked hard all their lives and still lived in small old houses. Tang Qing always felt a little sorry.
It doesn't matter that he barely lives there. The elderly are getting older day by day, and their legs and feet are starting to become inconvenient. Especially for the parents-in-law, who has to climb up and down the narrow stairs every day, which makes Tang Qing feel distressed.
The son once secretly told Tang Qing that his grandmother had rolled down the stairs several times. Fortunately, his father-in-law tied cotton on both sides of the handrails of the stairs and laid a thick quilt at the bottom of the stairs.
Alas, when will we be able to buy a new house for the elderly?
The price of commercial housing rises every year, rising faster than my son's body. The little money I save every year, the rising price difference is not enough.
How great would it be if I could be as rich as Li Li? Then I would definitely buy a big villa like Carpenter Wang’s house, and bring my parents and parents-in-law to live there so that they can spend their old age comfortably.
Life.
Li Li? I wonder where she is now?
Bao inquired about this gossip and said that Li Li went to the south, probably in Shenzhen.
Shenzhen? Why is she going so far away? To make a lot of money?
Li Li has this ability, I hope she can make a lot of money.
I'll just keep shaving my head, and one day when luck comes my way and I win the jackpot, I'll buy a big villa for the elderly.
Thinking of this, Tang Qing laughed first. At this time, she had just run up Deer Ti Mountain.
Tang Qing now buys a lottery ticket every month in addition to the 20 yuan decal bonus deducted from his salary.
The decal award is also a bonus savings. When the unit pays wages, it will automatically deduct a decal of five yuan, ten yuan or twenty yuan in proportion to the total salary. The bonus can be awarded once a month, and all decal funds can be withdrawn at the end of the year.
Since Li Li left Yancheng, Tang Qing's running every morning has not only returned to normal, but he has also run an extra distance.
He started running from downstairs of his home, ran up to Lushan Park, circled the three deer sculptures in the park three times, and then ran to the Li family's old house on Lutei Mountain.
The old house of the Li family stood quietly in the morning light. All the glory and grudges in the past disappeared at this moment, leaving only vicissitudes of life and peace.
"Master Jiujin!"
"A pure heart?"
Tang Qing met Wang Xinjie at the gate of the Li family's old house, which surprised her.
"Master Jiujin, do you run every morning?"
"Unless there are special circumstances, I usually stick to running. Xinjie, why are you here?"
"Master Jiujin, we are on winter vacation and we are going out for a run."
"That's good, but why did you run so far? Isn't it possible to run on the Yanxi embankment at your door?"
"Master Jiujin, I heard that the Li family's old house is an old building and there are many treasures hidden inside, so I stopped by to take a look."
"Xinjie, it's true that the Li family's old house is an old building, but there's nothing special about it. It's just an ordinary house. There are no treasures in it like you mentioned."
"Master Jiujin, I didn't say that. I heard what my grandfather said."
"He talks so loudly, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it, so I came here to take a look."
"Xinjie, you should study hard now and stop caring about the gossip and nonsense in society."
"Master Jiujin, I'm going to take the college entrance examination next year. I want to apply for architecture or archeology."
"Then after you pass the exam and learn the relevant professional knowledge, it won't be too late to come over and study the Li family's old house."
"Master Jiujin, this old Li family house won't be demolished, right?"
"Who said demolition is necessary? Who did you listen to?"
Tang Qing went over and grabbed Wang Xinjie's arm and asked loudly.
"Master Jiujin, you, you, don't do this. I, I, I also listened to what my grandpa said."
Wang Xinjie was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xinjie, does it hurt you?"
Tang Qing knew that he had lost his temper and quickly apologized to Wang Xinjie.
"Master Jiujin, it's okay, it's okay."
Wang Xinjie said it was okay, but she was still frightened and did not dare to approach Tang Qing.
Tang Qing understood that her expression just now must be scary, and could even be described as ferocious, and the strength in her hands must not be small. How could Wang Xinjie, a pure and kind girl, not be afraid?
"Xinjie, I'm sorry, the owner of the Li family's old house has gone out, and I was entrusted by her to help take care of the old house. You just said that it was going to be demolished, which shocked me, and I couldn't help asking you that. I'm really sorry, please
You forgive me."
Tang Qing didn't want to leave a bad impression in Wang Xinjie's mind.
"Master Jiujin, it's really okay. I shouldn't have said anything nonsense."
Wang Xinjie slowly regained her composure.
"Xinjie, there must be a lot of homework during the winter vacation, right?"
Tang Qing changed the topic and tried to be as gentle and gentle as possible.
"It's a lot. We originally only had two weeks of winter vacation, and the teacher also left us a lot of homework."
Wang Xinjie's demeanor completely returned to normal.
"Are you in your third year of high school? Although we didn't have as tight a grasp as you do now, we still had a lot of homework, and even the New Year was not stable."
Tang Qing hugged Wang Xinjie and left the Li family's old house and walked slowly towards the main road.
"Master Jiujin, why don't you go to college?"
"Didn't you pass the exam?"
"No way, you are so smart."
"Am I smart? Am I smart enough to be a barber?"
"What's wrong with being a barber? There is no distinction between high and low in the three hundred and sixty professions. If you are good at it, you will be number one."
"Xinjie, that's what you say, and the truth is the same. But in real life, there are still gaps between industries. In the next period of time, you must study hard and strive to get into a good university."
"Well, I will try my best."
"Xinjie, your hair needs to be cut. Let's go to the People's Barber Shop and Master Jiujin will cut it for you."
Tang Qing took Wang Xinjie's hand and started running.
"Okay, it's just that I don't have any money with me."
Wang Xinjie blushed while running.
"What do you mean by money? Will Master Jiujin ask for your money?"
"Isn't that good? Master Jiujin, you also work hard to earn some money for shaving your hair."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Let me treat you as a guest. When you get into a good university and get a job and make money, you can treat me as Master Jiujin's guest again."
"Well."
Wang Xinjie and Tang Qing ran all the way to the downtown street.
The downtown street is now the busiest time, with more than a dozen breakfast shops filled with steam and customers.
"Xinjie, let's have breakfast first."
"Master Jiujin, I didn't bring any money."
"Again, I'm talking about money. I can still afford a breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
"Master Jiujin, what is this?"
"Xinjie, do you look down on Master Jiujin? Are you worried that Master Jiujin can't afford your breakfast?"
"No, no, no, no, Master Jiu Jin, then I want to eat tofu and steamed buns."
"Okay, let's eat tofu and steamed buns."
Tang Qing held hands with Wang Xinjie and walked into Lao Zhang's tofu and steamed bun shop on Shixin Street.
When she walked into the store, Tang Qing was startled by the figure of a person, but she immediately reacted and pretended not to see it. She found a seat and sat down as if nothing had happened. She ordered a basket of tofu and steamed buns for Wang Xinjie and herself.
