Xu Ying was full of curiosity. She opened the small cloth bag in her hand a little and looked at the things inside. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "Third brother, did you rob a bank?"
Her third brother only earned 58 yuan a month, and he gave 38 yuan to her mother every month, leaving 20 yuan for himself for food and drink.
Sometimes I would buy her clothes and shoes, but I couldn't save any money at all. Besides, my third brother had only been working for less than two years, so he couldn't save that much even if he didn't eat or drink.
Xu Shengwu rolled his eyes at the girl and tapped her head with his finger: "What are you thinking about? Your third brother is going to die."
"How did you get the money?" Xu Ying's face was serious, fearing that his third brother would do something stupid.
"I earned it myself." Xu Shengwu said proudly.
Xu Ying's face became serious when she heard this: "Are you following Huo Chen?"
Xu Shengwu didn't expect his younger sister to be so right. He touched his earlobe and nodded: "Nothing will happen, don't worry."
Xu Ying glared at him and planned to find Huo Chen after get off work and talk to him about it. Doing business is fine, speculation is okay, but smuggling is absolutely not allowed.
And she had to stay away from Zhou Kun. When Xu Ying thought about her brother in her previous life who was arrested for going to the black market, her heart ached.
Seeing his younger sister's eyes turn red, Xu Shengwu became anxious instantly. He explained helplessly, "I only participated in these few times. I won't do it again in the future. Don't cry."
Xu Ying glared at him angrily and said, "I won't cry. Making money is a good thing, but you also have to be careful, okay?
It’s better to avoid doing this kind of thing. If something goes wrong, what will my parents do? "
Xu Shengwu nodded and assured that nothing would go wrong.
After having another meal in the restaurant, Xu Ying made him some dry rice to take with him, and then watched Xu Shengwu leave.
As soon as she got off work in the afternoon, Xu Ying rode her bicycle home quickly.
When Xu's mother saw her daughter come back, she was so excited that she cried. She hadn't seen her daughter for several days and missed her so much.
"My daughter, why are you back today? Will you take a rest tomorrow?" asked Xu's mother.
Xu Ying shook her head. The new employee was still recuperating at home, and she and Chef Ge were the only ones cooking in the store, so they couldn't take a day off at all.
She came back to find Huo Chen.
"Mom, I'll be back soon." Xu Ying said and ran away.
Mother Xu still had a lot of things to say to her daughter, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she saw her leave.
Xu Ying left home and was about to go to the Huo family, but she ran into an old acquaintance: "Wu Qingsong, why are you at Sister Lancao's house?"
Is this a relative?
When Wu Qingsong saw Xu Ying, he said casually, "Sister Lancao and I are from the same village. She has been kind to me, so I often send her food."
Xu Ying nodded.
Wu Qingsong was a little curious: "Aren't you living in the county town now? Why do you have to come back at night?"
When Xu Ying mentioned this, she thought of Huo Chen and looked at Wu Qingsong, asking him to give a reminder: "I came to see you about something.
My third brother is quite clever, but he is also easily led by others due to his stubbornness.
I know you and Huo Chen are both smart people, but I don’t want anything to happen to my third brother. Please help me convey this message to Huo Chen.
By the way, I don’t think Zhou Kun is a good person.”
This was a rather irrelevant statement, and Wu Qingsong was somewhat confused, but he still obediently told Huo Chen what he had said.
"Brother Chen, what does Xu Ying mean?" Wu Qingsong still didn't understand. Did she think they would harm her third brother? Huo Chen understood Xu Ying's reminder. He had met and interacted with Zhou Kun and found that he had too many little thoughts.
We should really be more cautious.
After driving the people away, Huo Chen went to the captain's house.
The people in the village had to ask the team leader to find someone to help them build their houses. They were paid one dollar a day and had lunch provided.
"Why did you suddenly think of building a house?" Father Xu felt a little suspicious.
Huo Chen spoke the truth: "My house is too dilapidated, I'm afraid it will collapse if it snows this year.
I just happened to make some money recently, so I thought about building a house.
And my grandma said that I’m not young anymore and it’s time to get married.
Since we are getting married, we must not let the other person down. The house must be new, and I will also have a grand wedding sedan chair and give them all the gifts they deserve."
Huo Chen said this to Captain Xu and also to Xu Ying.
Xu Ying looked at Huo Chen suspiciously. This man wants to get married! Then why is he looking at her? He probably wants her to introduce him to someone.
When Mr. Xu heard this, he couldn't stop smiling.
Xu's mother even said, "Huo Chen, since you want to build a house, build a better one. Isn't it popular to build brick houses? I think that house is good. It's better to build a two-story one. Oh, and pay attention to the toilet. My daughter likes to be clean. You..."
When Huo Chen heard this, he raised his head in surprise.
Before Xu's mother finished speaking, Xu's father coughed a few times and interrupted: "Okay, I'll help you find someone in the next few days."
There has been not much work in the fields recently. As winter approaches, everyone is idle and the cats are keeping warm in the house.
If there is a job that can make money right now, everyone is definitely willing to do it.
When Huo Chen left, Xu's mother looked unhappy and said, "Why are you stopping me? If I don't tell you, what if my daughter doesn't like the finished product?"
Father Xu glared at her and said, "Why are you talking about something that doesn't exist? Besides, don't you see that there is something wrong with our daughter?"
"What? Something's wrong." When Xu's mother heard that her daughter had a problem, she immediately became anxious.
Father Xu shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong, but he just had a feeling.
Seeing him like this, Xu's mother curled her lips and said, "I can't tell what nonsense you are talking about. It's boring."
After saying that, she turned and went into the house.
When Mr. Xu saw her talking about him, he immediately stretched his neck and let out a "hey".
Mother Xu returned to the house and expressed her longing for her daughter: "My daughter, you didn't know that I missed you so much when you were not at home these few days.
If I had known that you were going to work and not at home every day, I should not have let you go. Our family is not short of money. Just tell me how comfortable you are at home."
Xu Ying was delighted when she heard this. She took out her salary from today and took out ten yuan from it: "Mom, this is the filial piety money your daughter gives to you and my dad. Five yuan each for each of you."
When Xu's mother saw the money, her eyes widened as big as gongs: "It's time to get paid. How much money is it? You gave so much to me and your dad, why do you spend it on yourself?
Your brother gave us all the money, and you can keep your own money for yourself."
Xu Ying refused with a smile: "My brother's money belongs to my brother. This is the filial piety money I give to you and dad. You must accept it."
After saying that, Xu Ying took out a bunch of tickets, all of which were issued together with this salary. She would not need these tickets at all, as she had space for meat, sugar, and cloth.
"Mom, take this too, and give this brown sugar ticket to my sister-in-law."
When Xu's mother heard this, she looked puzzled: "Why give it to her? Why would she drink this when she's already grown up?"
Thank you Dream Beautiful Future for the two monthly tickets, thank you Happy Rabbit for the two monthly tickets, and thank you Xiaoxiang Baozi for the two monthly tickets. (End of this chapter)
