Seeing that she was about to leave, someone asked unwillingly, "Song Mei'er, do you really want to raise those two little ones? The boy is still young. Aren't you afraid that he will eat you out of money in a few years? Twenty-five kilograms of rice a month is still too little.
Why don't you ask for a few more pounds for Jiang Yan? She's not short of money anyway. If you ask me, you're just too easy to talk to. You should negotiate terms with her."
"Girl, why do you want to read books? You might as well keep your wallet and buy two more boxes of vanishing cream. After you pack up, find a city guy. Isn't that easy?
Xiaofang is almost ten years old. If you keep her for a few more years, you can send her away. By then, you can receive a dowry. You will be smart! Why didn't I think of this at the beginning? Oh, what a loss. "
"Old Song, you are still too honest. Jiang Yan went back to the island after the New Year, and Zhang Yulan was busy with family affairs. She only checked on the two kids from time to time. So whether to give them the money or not is just a matter of your words. If you don't want to raise them, just give it to me."
Song Zhuzhi looked at their greedy faces and sneered: "Why didn't you support them when there was no benefit before? Isn't it because you think they are a burden?
Now that they heard that Jiang Yan was providing them with financial support, they rushed forward again. That money was for their studies and no one could touch it.
The pillow is too high, what sweet dreams are you having? I didn't break your cervical vertebrae, how old are you? How can you say such a conscienceless thing? "
After saying that, she left without looking back.
She and Xiaofang were destined to be together. The people in the team kept their distance from her because she had lost her husband and was not wanted by her in-laws.
He thought she was an unlucky person and a jinx, so only Xiaofang went up the mountain with him to collect firewood. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other.
She had never thought of adopting a child before. Her home was shabby and she could only earn four or five work points a day at best.
It’s only enough for me to eat. If I have two kids with me, will I have to drink water every day to fill my stomach?
Rather than suffering with her, it is better to stay in the team and eat at many people's homes!
After the team leader brought the dog to the threshing ground, this family pushed it back and forth, and no one wanted to adopt it.
The two kids stood aside, shivering with cold. Xiaofang lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
She felt bad, so she stood up, but she didn't expect to get a pleasant surprise.
Jiang Yan was willing to sponsor their studies and take care of their food and clothing until they were sixteen years old.
Song Zhuzhi thought that there was no one better than Jiang Yan in the team. Besides, she couldn't have children, so she really treated the two kids as her own.
Jiang Yan had also visited twice. The two kids were not unfamiliar to her. Xiaoze was not much older than Fantuan.
But due to long-term malnutrition, he looked even thinner than Rice Ball. He put all the clothes that Rice Ball and Rice Cake didn't want into the space, and they came in handy.
She brought a bag over. The ones made of rice balls and rice cakes could be worn by Xiaoze, and the ones made of rice grains could be cut open and made into new ones for Xiaofang.
The pattern is beautiful and the fabric is very soft. Xiaofang can't put it down. She now has new clothes.
The matter between the siblings has been settled.
On the day of the Lu family's full moon banquet, a bus came to the village to pick them up. The people on the first bus had red faces from excitement.
For many people, it was their first time to ride a bus. They were touching this and that and were very curious.
Many people brought their families with them, and the bus was packed. The bus made more than ten trips.
At around two o'clock, firecrackers were set off in front of the state-owned restaurant. Those who lived far away got to enjoy the first round, while the others lined up to give gifts.
It’s not much, but it’s a token of my appreciation.
Jiang Yan was surrounded by her relatives, and they kept praising her with compliments, which made her feel dizzy.
The banquet lasted until six in the evening. During that time, people came and went, it was very lively.
When people from the nearby staff family compound saw this, they all came to ask what had happened and learned that the Lu family had produced a top scholar.
They also spend a few cents to have a meal and a drink.
After the banquet, Miao Xiuying counted the gift money and handed it to Jiang Yan. She was never greedy for the gifts from the younger generation.
Jiang Yan turned around and threw the money into the space. That was the safest way.
After sending the relatives away, the house became quiet again. Jiang Yan put the goods into the warehouse that Lu Xiao had found for her and handed the key to Miao Xiuying.
Miao Xiuying is a complete money-grubber. She held the key and said happily, "Oh, it's time to make money for the New Year. Why are they working with an old-fashioned guy like me?
Xiao Li has experience, but the eldest and second oldest have never done this before. I'm afraid they'll spoil the game, so why don't we just leave them alone and let us play on our own."
As soon as Lu Lin and Lu Yan entered the room, they heard what Miao Xiuying said. Lu Yan looked helpless: "Auntie, am I so bad?"
Miao Xiuying said in disgust: "I'm afraid you're clumsy, so I have to give you a hand."
Lu Yan sat aside and stretched out his hand to warm himself. Seeing that Hu Xueer was not there, he asked again, "Where is my wife? And where are my father-in-law and mother-in-law? Why are they not here?"
Miao Xiuying took the tongs and picked out the roasted potatoes from the stove.
Lu Xiao took the scoop of peeled corn and carefully rubbed off the dust on the surface of the potatoes. Who told Jiang Yan to like eating rice crust?
He has mastered this skill!
Miao Xiuying said slowly: "In the countryside, several people fell in love with hunting. They went out early and came back late, and they were so happy that they didn't want to go back home. Xue'er and Jing Tian were addicted to picking mushrooms.
They picked up a lot of dried black fungus and matsutake mushrooms. Their luck was incredible. So, what did you do so early in the morning? Xue'er even asked you to go into the mountains with her."
Lu Yan was a little embarrassed. "My old classmates have called me several times, so I just went over to meet them."
Miao Xiuying narrowed her eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, why am I looking for you? I haven't called you before, I don't think I want you to do me a favor!"
Lu Yan looked like how could you know that! Miao Xiuying snorted coldly: "If you can do it and it's not difficult for you, just lend a hand. If you don't have the right connections, just push it away. Don't do something that's thankless."
