Chapter 19: The Golden House in Books

When Fan Xiuying heard about the money, she also sighed.

After dinner, Fan Xiuying went into the house.

Opened the drawer and took out a notebook.

Their money was inside.

Passbook?

Doesn't exist!

Who can save money nowadays?

Especially since they spend all their money every month, any remaining money is kept in the notebook.

If something unexpected happens, who would be able to go to the bank?

Aren’t they all taken out from my own notebooks?

No matter how Fan Xiuying counted it, it was still 82.5 yuan, plus 30 kilograms of coarse grain coupons, 20 kilograms of national grain coupons, and three cloth coupons, and nothing else.

My little girl is leaving in a month, so she needs to buy some things and bring some money.

The second daughter gave birth to another child.

Why.

How come this money is so wasted?

Fan Xiuying was calculating with a headache.

In this way, after sending away the two daughters, there might be nothing left at home.

But next month I have to give five dollars to Mrs. Jiang for her retirement, and send five dollars to my parents' home, this...

How could Fan Xiuying not have a headache?

Her mother and three younger brothers in her hometown have a hard life. Her father has bad legs and feet and needs to take medicine all year round. If she doesn't help the family, life will probably be even more difficult.

You need money everywhere.

Money, money.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Xiaoxiao came in.

Fan Xiuying closed the notebook.

"What are you doing here, little girl? What evil ideas do you have?"

Fan Xiuying watched her daughter sneak over like a thief, holding two books.

The couple are uneducated and basically don't have these things at home.

Unless it’s the kids’.

But there is really no one with high education in their family. The highest one is probably Xiaoxiao.

Actually, they are all similar.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't study hard, and those books had been sold out long ago.

"Mom, keep your voice down. I'll show you something."

Jiang Xiaoxiao placed the dictionary in front of Fan Xiuying.

Fan Xiuying looked at him, then turned back to look at her daughter.

Poke Jiang Xiaoxiao's forehead hard.

"You clever little thing. What are you doing? Just tell me, why are you holding a dictionary for your mother? I am so old now, you know that your father and I only know a few words, not many more."

Push the dictionary aside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao became anxious.

Put the dictionary back in front of her.

"Mom, this dictionary is a good thing. You can't read, but you must have heard a saying, the favorite saying of those literati who love to nitpick is that there are beautiful women and golden houses in books."

Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately emphasized the word "golden house".

Fan Xiuying laughed so hard that her eyes were squeezed together.

"Hey, hey, you said you have a golden house, but there is no golden house in this book. Do your parents still need to work?"

Jiang Laoshi came in.

"What are you two doing hiding here? I heard you two laughing before I even entered the house."

Jiang Laoshi closed the door with a friendly look on his face.

As long as he is with his daughter and wife, Jiang Laoshi is really kind and amiable.

Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged Jiang Laoshi's arm, looking unhappy, "Dad, look at my mom. I brought her something good, but she was laughing at me."

She has been the bully in the family since she was young, and her parents, brothers and sisters all give in to her.

Jiang Laoshi smiled helplessly and scratched his head.

"Then your mom is wrong. Why don't you give your mom something nice? Give your dad something too. I'm going to be jealous."

When it comes to a match between daughter-in-law and daughter, of course one's lover will be given priority.

Fan Xiuying smiled and pushed the dictionary in front of Jiang Laoshi.

"Are you still jealous? Okay, okay, okay, I'm giving you the precious things your daughter gave me. I'm giving them all to you. I don't want them."

Jiang Laoshi was overwhelmed when he looked at the dictionary.

Although he and Fan Xiuying are both workers in the city, their educational level is really not high.

In their time, their families were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, let alone go to school.

He himself barely managed to graduate from junior high school, but his wife dropped out of school in the third grade.

You have to know that he only graduated from elementary school, which made him considered an educated person in the factory.

There is also the one who can't read a single word. Every time when it's time to collect salary, he has to go up and help sign, and then the person collecting the salary goes up and puts his fingerprint.

Many people use circles and crosses to represent numbers when calculating production.

I see the dictionary is so thick.

It would be strange if my brain didn't hurt.

"My daughter, just give this good thing to your father and mother."

Jiang Laoshi sat down on the edge of the bed.

After washing up, the couple prepared to go to bed early.

"Dad, this is really a good thing. My mom is ignorant. If you never see it again, it will be inappropriate. I gave you this as a token of my love! It's a real token of my love. If you don't take a look, I'll be really angry."

Jiang Xiaoxiao pouted and felt that she had really become a little irritable.

I was clearly in my forties in my previous life, but I am still like this at the age of eighteen.

I should say that after seeing my parents, I felt the warmth and love, and suddenly my mentality became that of a spoiled little girl again.

This is the result of having parents’ love.

Jiang Laoshi looked at his daughter's pouting mouth, which looked like a bottle of oil could be hung on it, and had no choice but to surrender.

There's nothing we can do about it, since the couple has loved this child all their lives.

Whenever they are facing this child, they have to endure his temper and agree with his weird ideas.

Otherwise, the child would throw a tantrum and throw a tantrum at them.

Of course, their Xiaoxiao is not the kind of person who would really throw a tantrum and roll around on the ground. This child doesn’t play the game of a shrew.

People are on hunger strike with tears in their eyes.

Compared to the tantrum, they were even more helpless against their daughter's behavior.

I had no choice but to pick up the dictionary, "Okay, okay! Let me see if your intention is acceptable! But don't shed tears for me! Your father can't stand your golden bean."

It's quite heavy.

Jiang Laoshi opened it without caring.

Then he was stunned for a moment.

He looked up at his daughter and took out an oil-paper bag.

"Hey kid, why are you so harmful? You dug such a big hole in the book. How can you say that? If you had done that in the old days when the school was still open, the teacher would have beaten you. Even if you don't like this thing, don't mess with the paper. You can use it to make a fire. What do you think?"

When Fan Xiuying heard this, she turned her head and saw the oil paper bag in her husband's hand.

"What are you doing, little girl? Did you buy something delicious for us? You are either a traitor or a thief. What do you want to do? What evil ideas are you thinking of? Don't you want to go to the countryside? I said you are not that kind of kid, but you just don't listen to your parents. Go and report to the director.

Now the big notice has been posted. If I ask the director to change it, I will have to beg for mercy.”

Fan Xiuying thought her daughter regretted it.
