Chapter 9292
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Ning's landlord informed her: "We have to vacate the house. They will all be back tomorrow! The house will be cleared out for others to live in tomorrow morning!"
The landlord felt a little embarrassed when he said this, as if he was chasing the girl away. Fortunately, the girl didn't say much. She just smiled and said, "Thank you, sister. I'm sorry for bothering you these few days! I will move out tomorrow morning."
The landlord felt even more embarrassed when she kept calling me sister. She said, "Oh my! You still call me sister when I'm old? You should call me auntie!" But she couldn't hide the smile on her face. "Besides, what's the trouble? You only come here to sleep at night and you'll be in the store during the day. It's not a trouble. Come to my house for dinner when you're free."
"Okay, sister!" Jiang Ning's smile was so sweet and obedient that it was easy for people to let down their guard.
To be honest, during the half month that Jiang Ning lived in her house, she really didn't cause any trouble to her family. During this half month, Jiang Ning spent most of his time running between Wucheng and Shanghai, and actually lived here for less than a week, which made the landlord feel a little embarrassed.
Even if it's only for a week, such a room is necessary so that she will have a place to stay when she returns to Wucheng.
Jiang Ning moved her quilt, bedding, kettle, slippers and other items to school bit by bit.
The school is now in session, and the dormitory building is also open. Girls still enter in an orderly manner from the right door, and boys go up the stairs from the left door, with a clear distinction.
Because it was morning, there were very few new students in the school and there was no one in the dormitory. Jiang Ning simply tidied up his bed, made it, put down the mosquito net, went to the cafeteria to get breakfast, and returned to the store.
She still has the habit of typing in the morning. After two hours of typing, more customers will arrive.
When there are not many customers, she reads and reviews in the store.
He Xiaofang also got up early in the morning and packed her things, ready to go to school.
She had been squeezed at home with her two sisters for more than twenty days. Three adults and two children were squeezed into a 1.5-meter-long bed. There was not enough room for everyone, so they had to sleep sideways. She could only curl up at night. If she moved a little, the quilt would fall off her body. But she didn't dare to stretch her body, because if she stretched her legs, her feet would come out.
But there is no way, this is the condition in the countryside.
During the Chinese New Year, the man who wanted to marry her before sent a gift to the He family. It was obvious that he still wanted to marry her. Seeing how sincere and honest he was, He Xiaofang's parents sighed and advised He Xiaofang to get married: "Even if you don't get married, arrange the marriage first. When you graduate in two years, you can get married. Twenty years old is not too early or too late. Isn't this just right?"
They really couldn't understand why He Xiaofang didn't want to get married. Girls should get married when they grow up!
He Xiaofang was so scared that she almost cried and kept shaking her head: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to get married yet, I'm still young..."
"Girl, why don't you listen? Can your mother and I harm you? We didn't ask you to get married now. Get engaged first. By the time you're 20, you'll be quite old!"
Like He Xiaofang, both He's father and mother are very tanned. He's father is very thin, with prominent cheekbones. He's mother, on the other hand, looks big, but perhaps because she has given birth to so many children, she looks very old.
He Xiaofang looked at her mother, whose face was haggard. Then she looked at her elder sister, who was divorced and had two children. She was pointed at and talked about in the village. She looked like a withered woman. She cried and shook her head and said, "I won't get married. I won't get married. You are lying to me."
She knew that she would not live a good life if she got married. Looking at her mother and elder sister, it was as if she saw her future life, which made her instinctively feel afraid and resistant.
At this moment she wanted to escape from home so much that she looked to her second sister for help and cried, "Second sister, I don't want to study anymore. Please take me out to work with you!" That way she wouldn't have to get married and could escape from here.
He Xiaofang's second sister is called He Xiaoqin, who is two years older than He Xiaofang. She dropped out of school before graduating from elementary school to work. Upon hearing this, she scolded him, "Nonsense! You've been admitted to No. 1 Middle School, but you're not studying? Don't talk nonsense, study hard!"
He Xiaoqin's own life was like this, but she couldn't bear to see her sister's life ruined like this. Her sister didn't understand at all that there was no future in working. She did the same thing in the factory every day, just like the machines in the factory. After sitting down for a day, she couldn't even lift her head and her neck was stiff.
She knew that only by studying could a girl have a future.
Fortunately, the money she earns from working now is enough to support her sister's education.
She doesn't want to get married at all now. After getting married, even the money she has worked hard to earn will not belong to her, and she herself will become someone else's.
He Xiaoqin and He Xiaofang had grown up and were able to run. Their parents had no choice but to tell the young man who came to propose marriage to them, "Xiaofang is still young. We want to keep her for two more years."
The man who came to propose marriage really liked He Xiaofang, which was why he came to propose marriage again and again. Hearing this, he said, "Uncle, I can wait for Xiaofang. I'll wait until she graduates from high school."
He Xiaoqin had already listened to what He Xiaofang had said to her and the future plan Jiang Ning had made for her, and said, "It's no use waiting for her to graduate. My sister is going to take the college entrance exam after graduation, and she's going to be a state-run teacher in the future, earning a living from the government!"
For rural girls, there is no better way out than becoming a teacher and eating the government's food. Even when looking for a daughter-in-law in the city, teachers are the first choice. Teachers are a good profession, highly recognized by society and respected. More importantly, teachers have many holidays and can take care of their families.
I don't know why, but in people's minds men don't need to take care of the family, but when a woman goes out to work, everyone will look favorably upon her because she can take care of the family, has a salary, can take care of the children, and will have a pension in the future.
It can be said that marrying a teacher is a sure-win business, so teachers are very popular in the marriage market in their area.
Although He Xiaoqin didn't want her sister to be like herself, she couldn't escape the shackles of the times and still regarded marriage as the final destination for women. She had a different voice in her heart, but she didn't know what it was. She was trapped in a house with no ventilation on all sides and couldn't break free.
The young man blushed and looked at He Xiaofang in disappointment.
If He Xiaofang was admitted to a normal university and became a national teacher, he would not be worthy of He Xiaofang.
He hoped that He Xiaofang would marry him after graduating from high school, instead of going to college or becoming a teacher.
Is being a state teacher more important than marrying him? He liked her so much that he wanted to marry her with all his heart.
But He Xiaofang just felt scared and kept shrinking behind her second sister. However, her figure was too plump and could not be covered by her thin second sister at all.
She mustered up her courage and glared back, "I said I won't get married! Don't come here again!"
In the end, the young man went back very disappointed.
He's father and mother looked at the New Year gifts brought by the young man on the table and didn't understand why their two daughters were unwilling to accept such a good young man.
He Xiaoqin went out to work after the fifth day of the New Year. He Xiaofang stayed at home and endured it until the day of school started. With the help of elder sister He, the two sisters carried some food and backpacks and returned to school.
The first thing she did when she returned to Wucheng was not to report to school, but to run to Jiang Ning's store. Seeing that Jiang Ning was indeed in the store, she shouted, "Ning Ning!"
The sound is very loud and loud.
Jiang Ning, who was typing in the store, turned around and saw He Xiaofang. His eyebrows could not help but bend down: "You're back?"
"Yeah!" She nodded vigorously.
She didn't know why she wanted to see Jiang Ning first. Perhaps it was because of her always calm aura. She was so confident about everything. Her eyes were always firm. She always knew the direction she wanted to go and moved forward firmly, never confused or hesitant.
When He Xiaofang saw Jiang Ning, her heart suddenly calmed down. She really wanted to hug Jiang Ning and tell her how scared she was and how much she missed her.
She just smiled with slightly moist eyes: "I came to see if you have returned to school, and when I came in, I saw that you are here!"
Sister He is only 24 years old, but she got married early and is now the mother of two children. However, when she stands next to He Xiaofang, the age difference between them seems to be more than ten years.
She looked at Jiang Ning, then at He Xiaofang. At this moment, He Xiaofang seemed to have broken free from some shackles, and there was a kind of vigorous vitality on her face.
Like the rising sun.
She didn't understand what these were, but she couldn't help but feel envious from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiaofang, is this your classmate?" she asked He Xiaofang with a faint smile.
He Xiaofang then remembered to introduce her to her elder sister: "Sister, this is my good friend Jiang Ning!"
After saying this, she looked at Jiang Ning somewhat nervously, afraid that Jiang Ning would not agree with her statement, and that it was just her wishful thinking.
Jiang Ning did not refute her statement, but nodded and smiled at He Dahua: "Hello."
He Dahua was a little at a loss, "Hello..." She pulled He Xiaofang: "Xiaofang, aren't you going to send food to the school?"
"Oh." He Xiaofang looked at Jiang Ning again. Under her smiling gaze, she couldn't help but smile widely: "Then I'll go back to school first!"
He Xiaofang is very strong. She walks briskly on the campus carrying 100 kilograms of grain. He Dahua follows her with difficulty, looking at her sister's back. He Xiaofang at school and her sister at home are two completely different people.
He Xiaofang is a hardworking and capable woman, good at both home and outside, but she always seems to be cowering in fear, especially when her parents are trying to persuade her to get married. To He Xiaofang, it's as if they were saying, "Xiaofang, there's a big fire pit over there, jump in, why don't you jump? It's such a good fire pit, jump quickly!" As they were saying that, they pushed her to jump.
He Xiaofang was so scared that she was like a frightened bird. Every time the man came, she wanted to close the door of the room and not let anyone in.
"Xiaofang." He Dahua suddenly called her.
"Huh?" He Xiaofang, who was walking briskly in front, turned around and looked at her elder sister.
She looked calm, with a sense of strength between her brows. Walking on this campus, there was no fear in her eyes as she had at home. She was like the weeds growing wildly between heaven and earth, small, but trying hard to stretch her veins upwards to absorb the sunlight.
After He Xiaofang exchanged all the food for food coupons, she sent He Dahahua out of school and returned to the dormitory. She noticed that Jiang Ning's bed had already been made.
I don't know why, but I felt at ease.
She returned to the dormitory and looked at the familiar mosquito net that Jiang Ning was in. It made her feel safe, as if she had returned home. She went downstairs to get some hot water and took her own bottle of pickles. Because it was Chinese New Year, the pickles she brought this time also contained a lot of cured chicken chunks.
She carried three bottles of water, one for Jiang Ning, one for Xu Xiuli and herself, and rushed upstairs. After adding hot water, she used a linen cloth to wipe the dust in the dormitory, and then wiped her own and Xu Xiuli's beds. When she saw other people's beds, she simply wiped them all. Then she changed the water, washed the rag, wet the mop and wrung it out, and mopped the floor until it was shiny and bright, especially Jiang Ning's bed, which she mopped again and again until it was completely clean. Then she hummed a song with satisfaction, made her own bed, and lay down on it beautifully. In less than a minute, she started snoring.
She hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days.
In the countryside, girls are not allowed to sleep during the day, otherwise everyone in the village will say that you are lazy. The news may even spread to the surrounding area and you will become a lazy girl known to everyone.
Especially in winter, when no one is busy, everyone likes to visit each other and gossip about other people's affairs. If anyone finds out that a girl does not get up in the daytime to help with the work but stays in bed, then soon the whole village will know that she is a lazy girl.
Jiang Ning is a famous "lazy" girl in the whole village. Only when she selflessly contributes to the family and creates value and benefits, she is considered a good girl in the eyes of others.
After Jiang Ning finished typing and sending the message, he turned off the computer and went to school to register and pay tuition.
It was a surprise to her that Jiang's mother would ask someone to send her tuition fees. Such a surprise had never happened in her previous life.
At this time in her previous life, she was a little girl whose mental age was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was taken to such a place and walked back thousands of miles along the railway track like a beggar. She went back to school for half a year and took the high school entrance examination again.
She was financially tight throughout her adolescence, worrying every day about how to buy pens, notebooks, test papers, tutorial books, and sanitary napkins. Her grandfather's annual salary was not enough to pay for two semesters of tuition, so the grandfather and granddaughter put a lot of thought and thought into ensuring that she could afford the tuition for the exams.
At that time, she knew nothing, had no capital, no skills, and no time. The only way she could think of to make money was to follow her grandfather's example and pick up scraps and sell them on weekends.
Now that she has money, she is still very happy when she receives the tuition fees that Jiang Ma asked someone to bring to her.
She went to pay the tuition and had some water left in her hand. She wanted to go back to the dormitory to get some hot water, but before she pushed the door open, she heard rhythmic snoring from inside. She couldn't help but smile, and quietly pushed the door open. When she picked up the kettle, it was already full. She quietly went downstairs to fill her grandfather's kettle with water, and bought lunch and brought it to her grandfather's store.
In the afternoon, Wang Xia, Xu Xiuli and others returned to the dormitory one after another. When they saw Jiang Ning holding a large stack of "Martial Arts" magazines and two published books of "The Song Dynasty", they jumped over excitedly. Not only did they love reading these books, they could also exchange them for braised pork!
Wang Xia hugged him and said, "Jiang Ning, I'll take care of your duty!"
He Xiaofang, who was snoring loudly, was so frightened that she sat up in shock: "Dormitory head! Don't compete with me!"
Lemon!
