Chapter 32: Reporting Safety On the other side, Xu Heye sent Kong Xiaoyue to the public house...
Elsewhere, after sending Kong Xiaoyue to the bus, Xu Heye went to the grocery store at the corner of the alley to call her mother as usual. She and her parents had agreed to call the post office near their home every Sunday evening to report their safety.
Xu Heye called and after a transfer, she quickly dialed the post office near her hometown.
Dong Taohua and Xu Hui had been waiting by the post office early in the morning, so as soon as the phone rang, they picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mom and Dad." Xu Heye shouted happily into the microphone.
"Hello, He Ye, I'm mom."
"I'm Dad." Dong Taohua and Xu Hui on the other end of the phone heard the voice and immediately responded.
"He Ye, how have you been recently? Have you been eating well?" Dong Taohua grabbed the microphone and asked carefully.
"Of course. Mom, I've been doing great lately, you don't have to worry. Blah blah..." Xu Heye couldn't help but brag as she spoke, "Also, in our school's recent midterm exam, I got first place in both Chinese and math. My overall ranking is also high in the school and the district."
"Really? My daughter is amazing." This time it was Xu Hui who spoke. His wife was very domineering and always monopolized the phone.
Xu Hui could only listen to the mother and daughter talking, and say a word or two to his daughter whenever he had the chance. When he heard his daughter talking about the midterm exam, Xu Hui could no longer hold back and grabbed the microphone.
As a high school math teacher, he naturally pays attention to academic performance. He is naturally proud of his daughter's good grades.
"Of course, I'm Mom and Dad's daughter." Xu Heye said, and then talked about something else, "By the way, Dad, I recently bought a BBK repeater, which cost a lot of money."
"Do you have any money on you?" Dong Taohua snatched the phone back. "If not, Mom will send you some money later." It happened to be right next to the post office, so it would be very convenient to transfer money.
"No, no, I still have money." Not long ago, she used the remittance slip sent to her by Dong Taohua to withdraw some money, otherwise she would not have the money to buy BBK.
"I just bought something big and wanted to tell you guys."
"Needless to say, my daughter is so sensible. You bought these things, you must need them." Dong Taohua believed in her daughter 100%. Xu Heye was not the kind of child who would spend money recklessly.
The mother and daughter reluctantly talked for a while before hanging up the phone. Dong Taohua put down the phone, thought for a moment, and went to the post office window to mail her daughter a few hundred yuan.
The child was all alone in Hucheng, and he needed some money. Xu Hui also thought so. Seeing that Dong Taohua only had 200 yuan, he also stuffed 10 yuan and 80 yuan of his pocket money saved for buying cigarettes into her pocket.
On the other side, after Xu Heye hung up the phone, she went home and started cooking dinner for her and her uncle.
She cooked the rice first and then washed the vegetables.
The lean meat I bought this morning couldn't be kept for long, so I cut it up with some Xu Heye and planned to stir-fry it with lettuce. The cabbage was quite large, so I cut it in half and added chopped pepper to stir-fry.
Soon, the rice was steamed, and Xu Heye changed the pot and started cooking.
Both are quick dishes. The honeycomb coal has a very strong fire and they are both fried in a short time.
Just as Xu Heye took the vegetables out of the bowl, her uncle Dong Fuyun came over from the yard.
"Uncle, wash your hands and eat."
"Okay." Dong Fuyun put the half roast chicken he bought on the table, took off his leather jacket and threw it on the chair, then scooped half a bucket of water from the bucket and began to wash his hands.
Xu Heye took two bowls of rice and the uncle and nephew began to eat. During this period, Dong Fuyun would pick up Xu Heye from school every night and then have dinner together in the rental house.
However, Dong Fuyun usually cooks, and only when Xu Heye is on vacation on weekends will she be the chef.
After dinner, Dong Fuyun washed the dishes, gave some instructions as usual, then picked up his coat and left.
Neighbor Aunt He came out to pour water. Seeing this, she gave Xu Heye a thumbs up and said, "My little girl, your uncle is a really nice person." Not only does he pick up and drop off his niece every day, he also cooks, washes dishes, and does housework.
"Yes, my uncle is the best." Xu Heye smiled and acknowledged Aunt He's praise for her uncle.
After locking the door, taking a quick shower and pouring out the dirty water, Xu Heye locked the door from the inside as instructed by her mother's uncle.
The next day was May Day, a day off from school, so Xu Heye didn't do any laundry. She still had some thick winter clothes to wash, so she decided to leave them for the next day.
With no need to do laundry and no desire to study, Xu Heye took out her newly bought BBK recorder and started listening to the music tape the clerk had given her.
"Sweet, your smile is so sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze... I've seen you somewhere before, your smile is so familiar..."
Teresa Teng's sweet, clear, soft, layered and penetrating voice lingered in the small rental house, and Xu Heye subconsciously sang along.
After the song ended, she turned off the recorder, climbed out of bed, and took out her Chinese textbook to review the poems and ancient Chinese texts she had memorized earlier. After memorizing the text for an hour, Xu Heye began to preview the content of the main course next Thursday.
After previewing the new lesson, I listen to English for a while and go to bed on time at 9:30.
The next day, Xu Heye woke up on time at 5:30. Instead of rushing to get up, she closed her eyes and reviewed what she had learned the night before. If she found anything she had missed or was unclear about, she would immediately take out the book and read it.
She is not a child with high IQ, nor does she have a photographic memory. If she wants to get good grades, hard work and scientific learning methods are essential.
Half an hour had passed since she finished all this. Normally, she would have gotten up to go to school. However, since it was a day off today, Xu Heye didn't rush to get up. Instead, she went back to bed and took a nap.
Two hours passed in a flash. At eight o'clock, Xu Heye stretched and got up from the bed.
After washing up, not wanting to cook, Xu Heye took the money and was about to go to the small shop at the corner of the alley to buy some red bean bread to fill her stomach when she saw Kong Xiaoyue coming over with a bag of breakfast.
"Xu Heye, I'm here again."
