Chen Lishu's sharp eyes saw that Mrs. Chen's body was visibly trembling.
Wu Chunmei said anxiously: "You kid, your dad is not more energetic than you? It's better not to waste time and let your dad quickly go to the team to set up the car."
"Yes, Lishu, don't delay the treatment." An aunt next to her also advised her.
"Mom, aunt, you don't know that I just said this because I wanted to save my baby. Xingdong learned first aid in the army. I heard him say that if a person is unconscious and is not woken up in a hurry, he will probably die because he has lost consciousness for a long time.
I will never wake up again." Chen Lishu said casually.
When everyone heard that she said it was Gu Xingdong, they believed her at first. She was an officer and could even kill wild boars. She was very capable.
"Lishu, what can you do?"
Chen Lishu's eyes fell on Mrs. Chen: "Some people are too thick-skinned. Just pinching them won't work. They have to use an awl to prick them."
When Mrs. Chen heard the word awl, her body moved visibly.
Everyone still didn't react and asked curiously: "Prick it with an awl? Is it really useful?"
Chen Lishu smiled: "We'll know if it works or not."
Wu Chunmei did not doubt that he was there, and stood up in a hurry: "I have an awl at home to hold the soles of my shoes. I'll go get it."
"You vicious woman, you believe whatever her little brat says. I think you two are working together to kill me!"
When Mrs. Chen heard the awl, she could still recall the pain of Chen Lishu pricking her with the awl. She got up from the ground, pointed at Wu Chunmei and Chen Lishu and started scolding them.
Chen Mandun was stunned: "Mom, are you okay?"
Everyone also reacted, some were angry and some were disdainful: "What the hell is this!"
"How old are you, you still joke about pretending to be faint? You just use it to scare people because they are full of emotions and disobedient, causing everyone to worry for nothing. Isn't this an old fool?"
Listening to everyone's accusations, Mrs. Chen glanced at Chen Lishu's half-smiling eyes. She knew she had been deceived, and she suddenly felt ashamed and resentful.
"Everyone is so full that they have nothing to do. Who wants you to meddle in other people's business?" Old Mrs. Chen glared at everyone and walked away with a guilty conscience before she even had time to dust off her body.
Chen Lishu looked at Zhang Chunhua and others in the yard. The latter reacted first and chased Mrs. Chen while shouting: "Mom, why are you still pretending to be fainted?"
"What do you three mean? You haven't been beaten enough and you want to get a few more?"
Zhang Chunyan, mother and son flinched and quickly ran after Zhang Chunhua.
After everyone dispersed, Chen Lishu looked at Chen Mantun, who was still standing with his head bowed, and called out with some worry: "Dad."
Chen Manyun raised his head and forced a smile: "I'm fine."
Chen Lishu knew that he might not be able to accept what happened today. Seeing that Wu Chunmei's mood was much more stable, she knew that nothing would happen again, "Mom and Dad, this is my father's wages from his previous work. If nothing happens, you can join in."
Let's go home, I'll go back first." After saying this to the two of them, Chen Lishu turned and left.
When she returned to Gu's house, it was almost time. Chen Lishu fed the pigs and chickens first, and then started washing her hands and cooking.
When Li Xiulan and the others came back and had dinner, Chen Lishu paid Gu Shoufu and the others their wages, as well as Li Xiulan and the others' money for making clothes.
After settling the money, Chen Lishu sent the money of several other people to Zhang Changhe.
"Uncle, I'm really grateful for your help this time. My friend said he didn't have much to thank me for. I heard that you smoked, so he asked me to send you two packs of big qianmen to try." Chen Lishu prepared the cigarettes herself, but she just wanted to show others.
Show your name.
"Hey, it's still a 'two-stroked beard'. This is a rare thing."
When Zhang Changhe saw the cigarette at Daqianmen, he immediately became very curious about it. Only when he occasionally went to the countryside for meetings could he get one.
Chen Lishu said a few words to Zhang Changhe before getting up and leaving.
Early the next morning, Chen Lishu took some prepared clothes and rode back to town.
Soon Nan Haitao's 100 pieces of clothing were successfully delivered, and the linen fabrics ordered from Jiang Weiguo were almost used one after another.
Counting the money earned at the purchasing station, Chen Lishu has already saved more than 6,000 yuan.
In the following period, Chen Lishu completely reduced her workload and continued to study at home. She occasionally communicated with Gu Xingdong, and her life was quite fulfilling.
Time flies and the day of Gu Xingping's graduation exam arrives. Chen Lishu wakes up early to roll out noodles for Gu Xingping and boils two eggs.
"I wish you good results." Chen Lishu smiled and pushed the bowl in front of her.
"Third sister-in-law, what do you think I will do if I still fail to pass the exam?" Gu Xingping had no appetite at all because of her nervousness.
Because the college entrance examination has not yet been resumed, the current high school entrance examination system is somewhat different from the later one. You must first take the school's graduation exam. Only when the school thinks you have excellent grades will it recommend you to apply for a technical secondary school. Each school can only admit one or two students each year.
That's all, only a few of them can enter high school.
"We have reviewed everything we should review. As long as you work hard to take the exam, you will be fine." Chen Lishu smiled: "Don't worry, my sister-in-law will take you to Beijing and Shanghai to play whether you pass the exam or not."
"real?"
When Gu Xingping saw her nodding, a smile finally appeared on her face: "Sister-in-law, you must keep your word."
After breakfast, Gu Xingping went to take the exam. After Chen Lishu sent the person away, she felt a little uneasy. She couldn't calm down and simply stopped reading. She dug out the scraps of fabric left over from making clothes and started to take off Gu Xingdong's shoes.
When Gu Xingping came back in the afternoon, she had a smile on her face. Chen Lishu knew that she should have done well in the exam and finally felt relieved.
However, after the exam the next day, Gu Xingping came home almost crying.
"What's going on? Did you fail in the exam or did someone bully you?" Chen Lishu nervously put down the things in her hands and hurried forward to greet her.
Gu Xingping held her hand and said in a crying voice: "Third sister-in-law, it's over, I really can't pass the exam this time."
"The results haven't come out yet, so why are you so sure you won't pass the exam? Didn't you do well in the exam yesterday?"
"We have a classmate who is very good at studying. She is in the top three of the grade. I was just checking the answers with her, and I found that I got several questions wrong..." Gu Xingping became more and more sad as she talked, and she suddenly threw herself on her body and cried.
stand up.
Chen Lishu didn't know what to say anymore, so she could only pat her back and comfort her: "Let's think on the bright side. Your grades in the past six months have been quite good. After all, the answer has not been announced in the end. What if she is wrong?
Yes or no?"
Although he said this, Gu Xingping was still depressed in the next few days.
Chen Lishu felt uncomfortable seeing her like this, so she began to pack her things silently, preparing to take Gu Xingping out to relax as soon as the results came out.
