Nowadays, the houses are all adobe houses. Some years ago, when it rained, it would rain heavily outside and light rain inside the house, not to mention the heavy rain that lasted for such a long time.
Chen Lishu looked at the rain curtain and suddenly remembered that it seemed that at this time in her previous life, the Chen family's house failed to withstand the heavy rain and collapsed.
She was not doing well in the Lu family at that time. Even if she knew the news, she could not help her parents' family because she had no money. Mrs. Chen and Chen Mancang were even less likely to lend a helping hand. Later, the team still couldn't stand it.
, helped out the labor and made a new one.
The rain kept falling all night with no intention of stopping. At noon, Chen Lishu was working in her room when she suddenly heard Chen Liyuan's voice outside.
"Mom, I'm looking for my eldest sister."
At this time, Chen Liyuan came over in the rain, thinking something happened at home. Chen Lishu hurried out to greet her: "What happened at home?"
"No." Chen Liyuan smiled and waved the letter in her hand towards her: "Sister, I was admitted to the accounting major of a technical secondary school in the provincial capital!"
"Really? Show me quickly!" After hearing her words, Gu Xingping ran over, took Chen Liyuan's notice and read it carefully, then raised her head and said with some envy: "Liyuan, you are really amazing."
The two have been together day and night for a month. Chen Liyuan has been studying hard and her grades are among the top in her grade. But she can't. If her grades were as good as Chen Liyuan's, she wouldn't have taken the high school entrance exam. After two years of technical secondary school, she could work.
Made money.
Chen Lishu took a look at Chen Liyuan's notice and couldn't help but smile.
Regardless of technical secondary school or junior college, at least her destiny will have a different beginning from now on.
"My parents said that I would like to celebrate after passing the technical secondary school entrance examination, so I asked you and your brother-in-law to come over for dinner tonight."
"Okay, it's such a happy thing, I'll tell your brother-in-law and I'll be there in the afternoon."
After talking about the notice, Chen Liyuan thought of something and said, "Sister, my uncle's house collapsed."
Chen Lishu was stunned for a moment: "When did it happen?"
"Last night, the wind was so strong that the tree fell down and destroyed half of the house. Let them cause trouble everywhere. This is retribution! It's a pity that the old witch was so lucky that I couldn't bury her directly."
Chen Lishu frowned slightly when she heard what she said. She couldn't help but said with a straight face: "She is our grandma after all. Don't be too big or small. Be careful what you say in the future."
Chen Liyuan was furious: "She is also worthy of being our nurse? Hasn't she caused enough harm to our family?"
Chen Lishu shook her head helplessly: "You have to change your temper. Just keep some things in your heart. Do you see me laughing?"
Chen Liyuan was stunned, and Gu Xingping on the side couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
…
At Chen Mancang's house, Mrs. Chen looked at the open-air house and the rainwater pouring into the house, and she cursed angrily for more than half an hour.
Chen Mancang was already impatient: "Mom, please stop saying a few words!"
There was a heavy rain, and the house was smashed. Not only was the wardrobe that Chen Baozhu bought when he got married was soaked by the rain, it cost more than 200 yuan, and the family already felt distressed.
Previously, I was only thinking about building a big brick house, but I didn't take off the adobe at all. Then I didn't borrow money, so the matter was delayed. Now that this has happened, I can't even think about building a house for another month or two.
"Have you heard? Chen Mancang's house was destroyed by a big tree."
"If you don't tell people not to be so clever in doing things, you said that there were so many fallen trees, but you only hit their family. Mrs. Chen forced her daughter-in-law to drink pesticides. Isn't this retribution?"
Chen Lishu had no idea what the villagers were talking about. As Gu Xingdong's vacation came to an end, she began to pack her luggage.
This time, in addition to the two of them, there is also Chen Liyuan. She is going to the provincial capital to go to school. It is already August. School will start in less than a month, so it is good time to go to her place to stay for a while.
"These are the shoes I made during this period. The ones I bought in the city are not as comfortable as those made at home. Xingdong can wear them after training and relax." Li Xiulan took out three pairs of loafers from the kang cabinet.
.
"Mom knows that you are a good hand at everything you do. I can rest assured that you will take care of Xingdong."
It always feels like my son came back just yesterday, and as soon as he was told to leave, he left again.
Chen Lishu knew that she was reluctant to part with it, so she took the shoes and said with a smile: "Mom, after this autumn harvest, you and my dad can go to the city to live for a while. There are four or five floors of the department store over there, and there are many parks.
Elderly people go to the park for a walk every day."
Li Xiulan was happy that the child sincerely invited her, but she still refused with a smile: "You still have to go to school, and Xingdong is also busy with work, so I won't cause trouble for you."
Liu Yuemin on the side heard Li Xiulan's refusal to go, and immediately became anxious: "Third brothers and sisters, don't worry, I will take my mother there with me after the autumn harvest. It will be no problem if I accompany you."
Li Xiulan couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard her words: "How old is your belly in Qiu? I can't afford to worry about you taking me with you. You should just stay at home and relax for me. I have a lot to think about."
"
"Mom, look at what you said. I was only six or seven months old at that time, and people still gave birth to their babies in the field. Who am I this month? Besides, I have never been to a provincial capital in my life."
Li Xiulan couldn't talk to her, so she had to say: "We'll talk about it then."
…
The Chen family and Wu Chunmei are also packing Chen Liyuan's luggage.
"Mom, the eldest sister said that when I go to her place, she will make me a bed and bedding. It is not convenient to carry so many things by car now."
"Everything is expensive in the provincial capital. A pound of cotton is several cents more expensive than here. Besides, if you have it at home, take it with you first to save yourself money."
Wu Chunmei said and put the kettle and basin in a mesh bag for her.
Looking at the pile of things on the ground, Wu Chunmei couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Liyuan has been admitted to college. Everyone is envious of having two college students in their family, but they don’t know how much it costs. They say the school provides subsidies, but money is needed everywhere.
Wu Chunmei's eyes fell on the other children and she couldn't help but sigh again.
…
Early the next morning, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong went to Chen's house to pick up Chen Liyuan.
"There are too many things, why don't I go and deliver them." Chen Mancun looked at the two big packages and said.
"It's okay, Dad, Li Shu and I didn't bring much, so the second sister doesn't mean anything." Gu Xingdong said, one in each hand, and he lifted the two luggage bags easily.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mandun warned: "Be careful on the road, and don't forget to send a letter home when you get to the provincial capital."
Seeing that the child was about to leave, Wu Chunmei couldn't help but blush as she stood aside. The younger ones also looked at the two sisters eagerly, with eyes full of reluctance.
After waving goodbye to their family members, the three of them went all the way to the town and bought a train for noon that day.
