Sang Feiwan transmigrated into a novel set in the 80s, becoming the foil to the female protagonist. The original protagonist was a hardworking, inspiring rural girl from a poor family spanning thre...
Chapter 57 You really have a wife brain
Sang Feiwan naturally refused to take it, but Old Lady Ma forced it on her.
During the pushing, Mrs. Ma used too much force and squeezed the bracelet a little bit, causing it to be slightly deformed.
The necklace also fell to the ground and broke.
Such fragile gold jewelry also shocked Mrs. Ma.
In the end, Sang Feiwan used the excuse that it was broken and could not be returned, which persuaded Mrs. Ma to give up the idea of ​​returning it.
Now that she had a store, Mrs. Ma was reluctant to spend any more money on renovations, so she planned to make do with two tables and a few stools for the stall.
The two tables and benches were long, placed horizontally in the store, leaving two-thirds of the space empty.
If we build a back kitchen at the back, there will still be half of the space left.
So the next day they divided the work.
Xiao Beiming and Xiao Laoer went home to catch more fish, preferably if they could catch them all.
After all, Xiao Laoer only has seven days of vacation, and Xiao Beiming only has twenty days.
Once they leave and go to work, it will be impossible to expect Old Lady Ma to fish alone at home. The ice in the river is so thick that setting and pulling the net are both strenuous work.
Sang Feiwan, Old Lady Ma and Pingping were buying some tables and chairs.
By the way, find a printing shop and make a sign with the store name and hang it up.
After buying the table and chairs, Mrs. Ma was distressed all the way. "I can go home and find some wood boards and smash them to make a table and stools. This is such a waste of money."
"New ones look better. Grandma, remember to bring more of our bamboo baskets tomorrow. If you can't use them all, hang them on the wall."
Sang Feiwan bought some paint and painted on the wall.
I drew a picture of a bountiful harvest and a bowl of fish ball noodles.
Accompanied by the words "The spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere, and the Chinese people are really striving hard."
The cement floor is matched with casual wooden tables and chairs, and with the words on the wall, the tableware is all yellow enamel bowls. The picture is very harmonious, giving the appearance of a modern nostalgic style restaurant.
Old Mrs. Ma looked at the words and paintings on the wall, and her eyes at Sang Feiwan were as if Sang Feiwan was glowing.
"Oh my goodness, you have great handwriting! This painting is so beautiful!"
"Yes! Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!
Seeing Sang Feiwan coming down to move the bench back to the table, Old Lady Ma quickly stopped him and said, "I can do the rough work. Your writing hands are not fit for this kind of work."
In this era, people who can read and write well will be sought after.
We will worship and like what we lack.
Although Mrs. Ma is an elementary school student with limited literacy skills, she also likes people who are well-educated.
After Sang Feiwan finished all these things, she realized that she had forgotten something. "Grandma, I still need to go to the printing shop. I forgot to print the photos."
"Is it the photo of the girl from the Hu family?" asked Old Mrs. Ma.
"Don't go, it's a waste of money! You'd better buy two more pounds of pork with that money. Besides, our family still owes a loan, so we really need the money."
"Besides, look at Hu Xiaolan's mother's behavior today. She wasn't even afraid when you told her about the photo. She's probably just hoping to get the photo and put it on the Jiang family."
"The Jiang family is a well-known wealthy family in our village, with a fortune of ten thousand yuan!"
"She picked a fight today, but she didn't get any advantage. Everyone in the village is quick-witted and loves to gossip. What happened today must have spread all over the village."
It costs 1.5 yuan to develop a photo.
This price is one of the few that has remained almost the same for decades.
Sang Feiwan calculated that if she washed four sheets, it would be enough for three or four pounds of meat. If she had to wash a hundred sheets, it would indeed cost a lot of money.
She took out the money in her hand and was reluctant to spend it.
She used the remaining money to buy an electric rice cooker and gave Pingping ten yuan as a New Year's gift.
Pingping refused to take anything even if you gave her too much.
She gave Mrs. Ma five hundred yuan for New Year's expenses, but Mrs. Ma refused to accept it.
The Xiao family watched Sang Feiwan spend money in fear, and they couldn't stop her from spending money.
How dare you ask her for money?
Sang Feiwan counted and found that there was still more than a thousand yuan, so she said to Xiao Beiming, "Hubby, tell my mother-in-law and the second child Pingping tomorrow that I still have more than a thousand yuan on hand. If they need money, I will give it to them and let them take it."
"Don't give it to me. This money is not enough for you to spend." Xiao Beiming replied to her.
Now, apart from him and Pingping, Old Madam Ma and Old Second Xiao are all obsessed with making money and are almost obsessed with money.
He just wanted to make money for Sang Feiwan as soon as possible so that she could pay off the loan she owed to the bank.
People like them feel anxious when they owe others money.
Especially Xiao Laoer, after sending Old Lady Ma off in the morning, the factory had not resumed work, but he was not idle either. He drove a tractor and shouted all the way, "Repair home appliances, rice cookers, washing machines, DVDs, tape recorders, watches..."
After making money, he gave it to Sang Feiwan.
"I will try my best to earn enough money to give you as soon as possible with the money I lost to you. But you still have to be frugal with your money, otherwise my eldest brother won't be able to support you." Xiao Laoer advised Sang Feiwan earnestly.
"Of course, if I can help you, I will do my best. But I will also find a wife and start a family in the future, so I can't help you forever."
"If you can't learn to be frugal, and if you run out of money in the future, and you despise my eldest brother for being poor and want to divorce and run away, then I, I won't be able to scold you anymore and will help my eldest brother find you."
Xiao Laoer felt that the reason why Sang Feiwan didn't want to divorce and was living a stable life with his elder brother was thanks to the gold and the money.
After all, Sang Feiwan suddenly changed her attitude towards her elder brother and suddenly stopped asking for a divorce.
So I was very worried that Sang Feiwan would spend money so lavishly that after all the money was spent, she would want a divorce because she couldn't live in poverty.
Just at this moment, Xiao Beiming, who had gone out to fetch water, came in carrying a bucket.
"What are you talking about? Second brother, why did you say you wanted to help me find your sister-in-law?" Xiao Beiming asked.
Sang Feiwan replied, "The second brother is afraid that I will run away..."
"No! My sister-in-law won't run away. I'm not a bad person, so don't hit me!" Xiao Laoer hurriedly hugged his head, interrupted Sang Feiwan, explained, and ran away.
Sang Feiwan felt a little helpless when she saw Xiao Laoer being afraid of Xiao Beiming. "I haven't finished what I was saying yet. I still want to praise him."
"What are you praising him for?" Xiao Beiming asked her puzzledly.
Sang Feiwan replied, "Second Xiao said he was afraid I would divorce you and run away, so he wanted to make money for me to spend."
"He's willing to consider us. It seems that the thoughts we put into him before were not in vain."
"very nice."
It seems that Xiao Laoer will not follow the plot of the original book and will just make money honestly.
"You've put so much thought and effort into him, enduring the snow and cold, and helping him expose the deception he's been accused of. If he still doesn't understand, he'll end up being beaten and locked up at home for the rest of his life." When Xiao Beiming said this, he felt only heartache for his delicate wife.
Xiao Beiming never thought about spending time educating his second and third sons. His solution was to beat them until they obeyed if they were disobedient.
If Sang Feiwan hadn't intervened like this, the second brother would have been beaten to a pulp and locked up at home if he hadn't threatened him with committing a crime.
"Husband, you really have a wife's brain." Sang Feiwan sighed.
She tapped her feet, put her arms around Xiao Beiming's neck, and kissed him again.
"Very good, that's commendable. I like you more today than yesterday."
After kissing and praising him, Sang Feiwan let go of Xiao Beiming and said, "Okay, continue reading and studying. The two exercises I drew for you today will serve as a quiz."
"If you get it right, you'll get a reward. If you get it wrong, you'll be punished by copying it ten times."
This was the first quiz that Sang Feiwan had given Xiao Beiming since she started tutoring him.
And the first subject is mathematics.
The proportion of rote memorization in English and Chinese is high, and memorizing ancient poems and English words is also easier.
Therefore, Sang Feiwan still focused on Xiao Beiming's mathematics.
It is still quite difficult to complete high school content at the junior high school level.
If Xiao Beiming answered both questions of the quiz correctly, Sang Feiwan planned to kiss him as a reward. If he answered one question correctly, he would get a kiss, and he would have to copy the other question ten times.
If he got all of them wrong, she would test him on English words again, and if he got them right, she would still kiss him.
In short, encouragement is the main thing and he will be rewarded no matter what.
But the reward cannot be too great, otherwise there will be no upgrade rewards later, and her body will not be able to bear it.
But Xiao Beiming did not do as Sang Feiwan had planned. He got two questions right and was not satisfied with just a kiss as a reward.
Sang Feiwan said, "If you want a reward, that's another price. You have to get all the answers right on the English test."
Xiao Beiming: "..."
So he was forced to take an additional test on English vocabulary.
Sang Feiwan watched him write from memory, gradually increasing the length of the words. When Xiao Beiming got to the fourth word, he started to make mistakes or simply couldn't recite it at all.
"There's no reward for this. Hurry up and copy the wrong words ten times." Then she went to bed.
Xiao Beiming frowned and carefully copied the wrong words.
In order to remember it, he consciously copied it twenty times until he could recite it from memory.
You have to know that he had just memorized the twenty-six letters yesterday and had just started to recite words. Sang Feiwan was actually making it a bit difficult for him.
Fortunately, Xiao Beiming is very self-conscious and has high demands on himself. He also wants to be admitted to an undergraduate program.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Sang Fei was woken up by the noisy noise outside.
"What happened?"
"You go to sleep first, I'll go out and take a look."
"I want to see it too, honey, go turn on the light first."
"The power is out."
Sang Feiwan was a little confused, "Why is there a power outage?"
She didn't even feel cold.
Xiao Beiming stood up and looked for a kerosene lamp. After searching for a long time, he finally lit it. "It should have just stopped a while ago."
Then he put away the kerosene lamp and put a coat on Sang Feiwan. "It's cold outside. You can tell by the sound of the wind. You'd better stay in bed and don't go out."
"No, the dog is barking so fiercely, I want to take a look." Sang Feiwan still wanted to go out and see.
Xiao Beiming couldn't persuade her, so he took her out.
As soon as they left the house, Old Lady Ma came up to them and asked, "What are you doing out here?"
"Grandma, what happened?"
"Go inside first, I'll tell you something."
