Wang Zhaozhao took Xiao Dudu to buy two kilograms of egg cakes. When Xie Ailian asked how much one kilogram cost, she just squinted her eyes and smiled.
Xie Ailian weighed it and said, "How many kilograms is this? I'll check the scale to see if it's enough..."
"Grandma, Dudu and I have already eaten a few."
“…”
Xie Ailian glanced at her, then took it and left, "Put it away, and get up slowly."
"It's so hot today, we can't harvest them. They will go bad, and the money will be wasted if they go bad." Wang Zhaozhao shouted at her back.
"...then we can eat it in the afternoon and evening!"
"oh."
Wang Zhaozhao has no objection to this.
She ate three on the way and was already feeling a bit full.
Little Dudu, who was standing holding her legs, had no objection. He was small and had a small stomach, so he was full after eating two or three.
"I shouldn't have let you have a penny." Xie Ailian put it away and glared at Wang Zhaozhao unhappily.
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao didn't say anything. Her grandmother's frugal habit was hard to change.
She only talks to make herself unhappy. She lets her grandmother say whatever she wants and spends money as she should.
I sorted out the prizes I brought back. Notebooks and pens are must-haves, as well as an enamel cup with the word "prize" printed on it and a few books.
In addition, there are certificates and bonuses.
After one year of junior high school, I really earned a lot.
Not to mention Wang Zhaozhao, even Xie Ailian and Wang Dahai felt a little numb.
However, they are still very passionate about showing off when they return to the village.
"My eldest brother and I have agreed that if they reach the scores I set for them in the exam, I will take them to the city zoo. Grandpa, when you go back, please bring them along."
Wang Zhaozhao remembered this incident.
Oh, and four cousins.
How can we notify them to meet up at Hebian Village and come to the county town together?
"What's so difficult about this? Just ask your elder brother and second brother to make a trip respectively." Xie Ailian said casually.
Hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao clapped his hands and said, "That's right."
“…”
Xie Ailian was speechless. The feeling that her eldest granddaughter had become stupid from studying appeared again after a long time.
Wang Zhaozhao felt a little disgusted and laughed, "Grandma, why don't you say I'm wasting money?"
"You spend a dollar or two to buy something to eat, and it's gone after you eat it. Is that the same as this? You're encouraging your brothers and sisters to study. Why should I scold you?"
"snort."
Wang Zhaozhao snorted, "You are really sensible, old man."
Xie Ailian also snorted, "If you want to go to the zoo, then go to the zoo. Don't wander around and buy random things... No! Give me your bonus today first, and I'll give it to you when you want to go to Qing Province."
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
"oh."
She quickly took out an envelope.
Even if I don’t give it to her when we leave, it doesn’t matter, she has the money.
"Old woman, stop messing around. Miss Zhao has her own plans." Wang Dahai said.
"Her success is nothing..." Bullshit!
Xie Ailian still took the envelope, but she kept her mouth shut at the end.
Wang Dahai also knew that Wang Zhaozhao had money, so he was too lazy to waste time talking to her. He just asked Wang Zhaozhao which day the school had notified her about going to Qing Province.
"July 5th. My classmates and I have an appointment to go shopping for groceries together tomorrow and go to the city the day after tomorrow. Another day to prepare is just right."
Wang Zhaozhao also mentioned the arrangements for the next few days, mainly about tomorrow.
After hearing this, Xie Ailian's first reaction was, "July 5th, what day is that in the lunar calendar?"
Wang Zhaozhao was stunned by the question and was about to run inside to check the small calendar when he heard Wang Dahai say leisurely, "What? You still want someone to calculate the date to see if it's auspicious?"
Well……
Wang Zhaozhao was stunned.
However, Comrade Xie Ailian did not refute.
"Where can I find someone to tell my fortune? But I can look up the almanac..."
"Bang!"
Wang Dahai slammed his palm on the table, interrupting Xie Ailian's words. Wang Zhaozhao and Xiao Dudu were both startled.
"Grandma should mean to look at the calendar and know the lunar calendar days. We farmers are used to remembering the lunar calendar days." Wang Zhaozhao explained on behalf of Comrade Xie Ailian.
After hearing this, Wang Dahai just glared at Xie Ailian fiercely.
Xie Ailian hummed twice to express her dissatisfaction. What's wrong with looking through the almanac? Zhao girl is going to take a plane, so she should be at ease.
Seeing that she was not convinced, Wang Dahai directly hit her in the heart, "You can't read a single word, and you won't understand even if you look up the almanac."
Xie Ailian: “……!”
"I don't understand it, but I can give birth. My son, who never received any education, married a high school graduate and even taught him to read. All my grandchildren can read."
snort!
She doesn't say it, she's proud.
Seeing her like that, Wang Dahai didn't want to say a word. He picked up the enamel cup with the word "award" on it that Wang Zhaozhao brought back today, stood up and left.
"I'll use this cup for tea."
…
In a blink of an eye, it was July 5th. Xie Ailian and the others got up early and made breakfast.
I can really cook rice and other big dishes.
In their village, if you are going on a long journey, you must try to have a full meal.
Wang Zhaozhao is going to Qing Province and will not be back for at least a month, which meets the criteria.
"Wow, the aroma of this braised pork trotter is so overbearing."
Wang Baojia got up reluctantly and could hardly open his eyes. When he went to the yard to brush his teeth and wash his face, he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and immediately woke up.
Can you believe it? He scored over 80 in both subjects.
The tears I shed in front of Wang Zhaozhao and the others that day were wrong.
When Wang Dahai picked him up and brought him to the county town, he brought his transcript and test papers with him. As soon as he entered the yard, he ignored everything else and started yelling to show off to Wang Zhaozhao.
The result was that he was caught on the spot and asked to review the test paper, and then to copy the wrong questions twenty times.
Tears almost came down again.
The day before yesterday, we went to the city zoo for a day. After we came back, we discussed and decided to stay in the county town for two more days. After Wang Zhaozhao left for Qing Province, Wang Dahai and his wife, Qiao Li, and the eleven children, big and small, would go back together.
Thinking of so many people, Wang Sibing said that he might as well borrow a tractor from a friend and then pull it back with the tractor.
When Wang Zhaozhao came out of the room, he saw a row of eight people, like a row of sparrows, squatting on the eaves brushing their teeth.
Their yard is not small, with five rooms of different sizes. It is not enough to accommodate such a group of people.
After subtracting the three rooms that were occupied, there were two rooms left. Xie Ailian directly arranged for Wang Jingjing and Wang Qingqing to live in one room, and the remaining four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren all lived in one room.
They were all half-grown boys, and there was no need to install beds. They just slept on the floor sideways, eight in a row, and it wasn't crowded at all.
In hot weather, you can sleep with doors and windows open without worrying about being stuffy or cold.
"Sister Zhao, good morning."
Hearing the noise, Wang Weiguo turned around.
Wang Zhaozhao grinned. "Good morning, brothers."
Her eyes flashed, and she said, "You guys brush slowly, wait for me, I want to join you too."
ah?
The people squatting in rows looked confused. What does this mean?
