Sometimes, you really can't tell whether the people around you are human or ghosts without comparison.

In the past, Lin Xiaocui always felt that the fact that her mother was able to give birth to her when she already had two older brothers proved that her mother loved her.

However, later events made her realize that some mothers give birth to children simply because they accidentally became pregnant and had no choice but to give birth.

After pouring out all the bitterness that had been building up in her heart, Lin Xiaocui curled her toes and lay back down on the bed.

The kitchen fell into an eerie silence.

Wang Xiuqin and Lin Gou Dan exchanged a disapproving glance, while Lin Jianguo lowered his head and quickly ate his rice.

That evening, Lin Jianguo knocked on Lin Xiaocui's door. "Xiaocui, I left you a bowl of porridge. Get up and eat some."

Lin Xiaocui was too lazy to answer, and only gave a soft "hmm".

Actually, she had money and would buy a steamed bun from the supply and marketing cooperative at the gate every morning and evening. At noon, she would eat in the school cafeteria, where she secretly bought some meal tickets from her classmates.

She's gained some weight these days.

Oh well, she's used to it anyway. The fact that her father came to call her for a meal at least proves that she can still stay in this house. Otherwise, where else could she go?

Just then, the snowball on the ground made a whimpering sound, which caught her attention.

Snowball had a paper package in its mouth, inside which was a crab wrapped in oil paper.

Lin Xiaocui patted Xueqiu's head, a smile playing on her lips.

My sisters-in-law always remember to bring her some of the delicious food they cook. This is the first time she's ever eaten crab!

The next morning, when Lin Xiaocui was on her way to school, she went to the west room and used a stone to weigh down the order she had received from school on the windowsill.

In this era, high school is a two-year program, and she will finish after this year.

But she tasted the sweetness of making money. While studying hard at school, she also learned how to sell clothes.

The sportswear she wore herself was a perfect example, and countless people inquired about the clothes from her. Over time, she started receiving orders from some of her classmates.

After getting up, Lu Wanqing glanced at the windowsill as usual and saw the order that Lin Xiaocui had brought back.

There are three in total. Two are for sportswear and one is for a jacket. The sizes and requirements are already marked.

Lu Wanqing smiled and brought the items into the house, skillfully numbering the orders, and then checking if there was enough fabric. If not, she would need to go to the county town to buy more.

Lin Ye had already started cooking; breakfast consisted of lean meat porridge and pancakes.

To ensure Lu Wanqing ate well, he always tried to find a way to make a noodle dish.

Actually, if Lu Wanqing wanted to eat wontons or dumplings, she could simply go into her space and cook herself a bowl. However, the taste of them became increasingly bland. Only when she ate with Lin Ye did even the simplest food taste delicious.

After finishing her meal, Lu Wanqing took out a newly made coat and stood smiling in front of Lin Ye.

"Hurry up and change, today is your interview day."

Lin Ye's lips curled up, his heart bursting with joy. "When was this made? How come I didn't know? This fabric is corduroy."

Corduroy was the best fabric in those days, besides wool. It cost five cents a foot and was hard to find.

“I bought this in the county town last time. You need to dress presentably for your physical education teacher interview. I also bought some wool fabric. When it gets cold, I’ll have Mom make a wool coat for each of us.” Lu Wanqing helped him put on the coat, not forgetting to straighten the collar.

When Zhao Xiaolan saw how smartly Lin Ye looked in the clothes she had made, she couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer.

Lu Wanqing looked at Lin Ye with admiration. This man, whether in terms of physique or appearance, would not be outshone by any celebrity. If he stood among a group of people in the countryside, he would be the most dazzling presence.

In the written test a few days ago, he scored the highest among ten people competing for the physical education teacher position.

Lu Wanqing believed that he would definitely stand out in the interview and become a primary school physical education teacher.

At that time, there will be one person in the family earning a salary and two people earning money through their skills. They can live a good life without having to work hard.

Lin Ye set off full of confidence, wearing his new clothes.

Lu Wanqing and Zhao Xiaolan also started making clothes.

Normally, she is completely focused when cutting clothes and has never made a mistake. But today, for some reason, she cut the fabric crookedly several times and had to busy herself to fix it.

It was Lin Ye who went for the interview, but he seemed more nervous than if it were me.

In her previous life, she had never actually conducted a proper job interview, and she wondered if people would get nervous and make mistakes when being questioned in that situation.

Lu Wanqing's mind became more and more confused. Even if Lin Ye failed the interview, she could just quit. Why was she panicking?

Around noon, Zhao Xiaolan finished making the two outfits, and the two went to the yard to play with Xueqiu. She also started steaming the rice.

Zhao Xiaolan was having a carefree time, laughing out loud from time to time, while Lu Wanqing would glance around every now and then, her face showing worry.

A little while later, the neighbors came back from work. Lin Gou Dan noticed Lu Wan Qing looking out frequently and asked with a smile, "Is Sister-in-law waiting for Brother Ye?"

Lu Wanqing was too lazy to look at his sinister smile, so she turned her head away and ignored him.

Since having the idea of ​​marrying Zhou Ling, Lin Gou Dan has become much more attentive to his mother and has started working in the fields to earn work points. In one morning, he earned four work points, which made him very proud.

Seeing that Lu Wanqing ignored him, he wasn't angry. Instead, he muttered to himself, "I just saw a tall man fighting with someone in front of the Zhou family's house. I wonder if it was Brother Ye?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiuqin thought her son was talking to her and replied, "What does it matter to you whether it's Lin Ye or not? He might become a teacher in the future, while you're still a peasant! But... wasn't Lin Ye supposed to have an interview today? How come he got into a fight?"

What a mess! They're back, and they're saying all sorts of nonsensical things. Lu Wanqing was in a state of utter anxiety, wishing she could go over and check on them immediately.

"Snowball, go check on Zhou Changsheng's family," Lu Wanqing ordered.

Snowball, who was playing with Zhao Xiaolan, received the order and immediately darted out. Zhao Xiaolan thought something had happened and hurriedly chased after it.

"Mom, don't go with her..."

Before Lu Wanqing could finish speaking, she saw Lin Ye walking on the ridge of the field not far away, swinging the newly made clothes in his hand as he walked towards home.

His clothes and head were covered in mud.

Lu Wanqing had heard Lin Ye say that he had been fighting since he was a child and had a fierce spirit. He had never lost. Now his clothes were covered in mud, so he must have suffered a loss.

Thinking this, her face became full of worry, her little mouth pouted, and she looked aggrieved, as if she had just been bullied!
