Shen Lingling pushed everything she learned from Tian Tian onto Fang Siwen.
Mother Shen believed Fang Siwen's words somewhat blindly. She thought it was okay to do the same thing since she knew it was from Fang Siwen's mother. If Mother Shen knew that these things were told to her by Tiantian, she would only blame Tiantian for leading her astray and always telling her these weird things.
It can only be said that Mother Shen thinks Fang Siwen is an experienced person, while Tian Tian is just a village girl like her, and even if she goes to college, nothing can be changed.
So Shen Lingling chose to let Fang Siwen take the blame.
Sure enough, Mother Shen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Really? Did Siwen really tell you that?"
"Of course. Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, I'll take out the letter and read it to you!" Shen Lingling said.
She was not worried that Mother Shen would really ask her to take the letter, because her mother was illiterate, and even if she took the letter, she would not be able to understand it.
"There are so many vendors in front of their school, but none of them have been caught selling their goods. How could we get caught if we just sell some chestnuts?" Shen Lingling struck while the iron was hot.
"Then, let's sell a little less chestnuts and try it first. If it sells well, we'll sell more!" Mother Shen was also a little tempted. She actually had blind trust in Fang Siwen. He was an educated youth from the city, with a good family background and a promising college student. He must have seen more than them who couldn't read a single word. What he said must be right.
Shen Lingling was relieved to hear her mother agreed, but just when she was half relieved, she suddenly heard her mother say, "You don't have to go buy anything when the time comes, just stand by and watch. If anything really happens, I will be arrested, it has nothing to do with you!"
Shen Lingling felt very complicated when she heard this, "Mom!"
Mother Shen shook her head and stopped Shen Lingling from saying anything. "I know you've been miserable since Fang Siwen left. Our family background is not as good as others', and you're a strong-willed child. You don't want to spend other people's money. When you stay at home with your child, the neighbors talk about you. I know all this. I often wonder, if I had insisted on letting you continue your studies, would you have been able to get into college like Tiantian and Tian Yun? Then, wouldn't you be as miserable as you are now?"
After Mother Shen finished speaking, she burst into tears, "This is all my fault! My daughter is so good, hardworking and capable. You are no worse than Tian Tian and Tian Yun. As long as we live a good life, we will definitely live a good life!"
Shen Lingling felt very sad when she heard this. She was a little jealous of Tian Tian and Tian Yun, but Tian Tian and Tian Yun were really good to her. They always helped her, accompanied her and advised her.
She knew that Tian Tian and the others were genuinely kind to her. When everyone else cared about Niu Niu, only Tian Tian cared about her as a person. But she couldn't control herself and felt jealous of them.
So sometimes she didn't dare to spend much time with them, for fear that her emotions would be revealed one day and she would lose these two good friends.
"Mom! Don't worry about it for now!" Shen Lingling held Mother Shen's hand, "I'll call Fang Siwen and ask him. After we make sure there's nothing wrong, we'll go sell chestnuts!"
Mother Shen was completely relieved. At least Shen Lingling didn't think about it. "Okay, you ask Fang Siwen carefully. If possible, Mom will go with you!"
The next day, Shen Lingling took Niu Niu to the county town. She first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candy for Niu Niu, and then went to the post office to call Fang Siwen.
Fang Siwen was a little surprised when she heard Shen Lingling's idea. She didn't know why she thought of selling chestnuts, but she supported Shen Lingling very much the next second. "There are indeed many stalls selling things here recently. In fact, there is nothing special. They have been selling for a long time. If you want to do it, you can give it a try after considering the time, energy and cost. But those stalls have to get up very early every day, and selling things is not as easy as you think. It is a very hard job. Can you do it?"
"You underestimate me! I get up very early during the autumn harvest, and it's common to get up at three or four o'clock. Can I get up later than this to set up a stall?"
There was laughter on the other end of the phone. "Okay, now that you've made up your mind, go ahead and do it. If you need anything, just give me a call and I'll find a way for you! I'll help you when I get back."
"Don't worry, if I really can't solve it, I will definitely come to you! Do you want to talk to Niuniu? Niuniu is standing next to me!"
A voice of agreement came from the other end of the phone, and Shen Lingling picked up Niuniu and said to her, "Niuniu, call me daddy!"
Niuniu still had candy in her mouth. She had just started to learn to speak, so she couldn't speak fluently. She could only mumble, "Baba!"
"Hey!" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Niuniu, do you listen to your mother at home? Daddy will be home soon. You will be able to see him in a few days. Daddy bought you a lot of delicious food. Give them all to Niuniu when you go back!"
Niuniu had no way of understanding all these words, and only heard the last three words: delicious. "Delicious! Niuniu wants to eat delicious food!"
Seeing that Niuniu didn't understand what her father said, Shen Lingling put the phone to her ear and asked, "It will take a few days for you to come back, right?"
"The ticket for the day after tomorrow will take three days. Then I'll be able to see you two!"
Shen Lingling also felt a little warm in her heart. Although she had complaints about Fang Siwen, she still liked him very much. "Then I'll kill a chicken to welcome you!"
"Then I would like to thank my wife in advance!"
Shen Lingling still felt sorry for the money she spent on the phone, so she hung up the phone after just a few words.
After the call, Shen Lingling took Niuniu to the cinema to watch a movie. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, it was obvious that there were a lot more entertainment activities than before. Before, movies were only shown once a week or two, but now they are basically shown every day. The county library is no longer as deserted as before. During holidays, you can see many people going to the library to study and read.
With the resumption of the college entrance examination, students now have hope, and everyone's eyes are filled with enthusiasm and vitality.
Everyone's spiritual life is becoming richer day by day.
Shen Lingling took Niu Niu to queue up to buy movie tickets. There were quite a lot of people watching the movie and the line was very long. It would probably take some time for them to get their turn.
