Chapter 474 Don’t be a bad boy
The facts were indeed as she judged. Wu Yongfei was reluctant to trouble his children or his wife.
So, after Ge Sujuan went home and communicated with him, Wu Yongfei decided to go back by himself.
This is also a man of action. Once he makes a decision, he takes action immediately.
He first went to the team leader to get a visiting certificate, and then ran to Yi Chichi to borrow money.
"How much?"
After learning his purpose, Yi Chi did not refuse, but looked at him and asked.
"Twenty or twenty, okay?"
He spoke very nervously, as if afraid that she would disagree.
Seeing this, Wen's mother asked, "How much money do you have on you?"
"The family had saved a total of 46 yuan, but Juanzi and her son had to make a living, so I couldn't take all the money away. I only took 10 yuan."
That is to say, plus the twenty yuan borrowed from Yi Chichi, it is exactly thirty yuan.
This money is not small, but it is not much either.
The main problem is that the journey is more than 2,000 kilometers, which would take several days if you take a direct route. If you need to transfer, the time will be even longer.
Food and accommodation are expenses along the way.
Wu's father was so ill, it would have been fine if Wu Yongfei didn't go back. But since he has gone back, after the funeral, as a son, shouldn't he express something to his old mother?
No matter what your relationship is like, you still need to show some respect when you go back every few years.
Thinking of this, Yi Chichi asked, "Are you sure you only want to borrow twenty?"
Wu Yongfei was silent for two seconds, then nodded. "I'll only lend you twenty. If it's more, it'll be too stressful for Juanzi and I to pay it back."
Raising children is too expensive. Adults can handle any rough living, but children cannot.
"You wait."
Seeing his firm attitude, Yi Chizhi didn't say anything, but went into the house and took out twenty yuan and two kilograms of national food coupons.
Wu Yongfei was surprised to find that he still had food coupons. He looked up at her and opened his mouth, forcing out a thank you.
Yi Chichi looked at his red eyes and didn't say anything like "you're welcome" or "you should." Instead, he smiled and said, "You have to pay it back."
"I will definitely return it!"
Wu Yongfei nodded heavily, those who are willing to lend money are true friends.
True friends should be cherished.
As the saying goes, if you borrow, you must repay; it is not difficult to borrow again. He understands these principles.
Money must be repaid and friends must be cherished.
"I promise you, I will return it to you before the end of next year!"
"good."
Yi Chichi nodded and said, "Go back quickly, so that Juanzi won't worry."
"Um."
He responded, said goodbye to Yi Chichi and Wen's mother, and returned home.
Qin Jiu was practicing calligraphy in the house and didn't come out.
After everyone left, Wen's mother sighed, "These children have suffered too."
When they first came here, not only were they all fair and tender, but they were also young and youthful.
After going to the countryside, they all became darker and more haggard.
His eyes are no longer as clear as when he first went to the countryside, and he is full of longing for the future.
Now there is no light at all, and I feel like I am just living one day at a time.
“It’s bitter!”
Working in the fields is really hard, and working in the factory is not much better, but you don’t have to be exposed to the sun, so your hands, shoulders and other parts of your body won’t develop thick calluses.
Life in the countryside is hard, not only physically but mentally as well.
Because there is no hope and no future to be seen.
Physical pain can be overcome by enduring it, but mental pain becomes more difficult to endure.
Fortunately, it won’t be long before the sun shines on the earth.
In the evening, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lay on the kang and chatted.
"Have you finished your drawings?"
"The drawing is done, but the final draft is not finalized yet."
Mother Wen turned her head to look at her, "Why haven't you decided yet?"
“It’s not a good choice.”
She thinks both are fine, but people have different aesthetic tastes. Maybe what she thinks is fine may not be liked by the secretary and others.
"Mom, would you mind taking a look for me?"
Wen's mother refused, "I don't think it's a good idea. Since you can't decide which ones you want, just bring them all and let the secretary and the others choose."
"What if the secretary and the others all like it?"
This question stumped Wen's mother. She had never thought about it in this way before, but now...
Hey, it's possible.
She had a mysterious confidence in her daughter-in-law, and thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Then give it all together and ask the secretary to give some more votes."
I didn't ask for the money in the first place, so it's not easy to ask for it now.
The ticket is different. I gave it to you before, so it’s easier to ask for it now.
Besides, tickets are more useful than money.
Tickets can be exchanged for money, but it is difficult to exchange money for tickets. You need to look everywhere for people who have extra tickets.
Therefore, the more bills the better.
After hearing his mother's analysis, Yi Chichi felt that it made a lot of sense.
Female comrades need praise, so she turned over and hugged Wen's mother through the quilt, "Mom, you are so smart. I will listen to you. I will send it to the secretary tomorrow when everything is ready and let them choose for themselves."
Wen's mother felt her scalp tingle when she was hugged by her. It had been many years since anyone had been so close to her. Now, she was caught off guard by this and her whole body felt numb.
But I feel warm in my heart.
Sure enough, a sweet and soft little girl is better than a naughty boy.
In a fit of rage, she blurted out, "You and Wen Shi must have a daughter in the future, not a boy!"
Yi Chichi was embarrassed, it was not something they could decide.
"Then you have to pray that Wenshi's seeds perform better."
Wen's mother said, "...I understand. You reap what you sow. If you give birth to a bad boy, it's not your fault. I will educate Wen Shi."
This is actually not something that can be successfully educated.
Having a baby is a very mysterious thing. For example, in the compound where my second sister-in-law lives in my original world, everyone gives birth to sons.
The compound where my fifth sister-in-law lives is full of girls, so there is no question of equality.
In the courtyard where Wen Shi was...
Forget it, let’s not forget it. Whatever happens will be the outcome.
"Mom, it's time to go to bed."
"Go to sleep!"
Wake up and sweep the snow.
If you don't sweep it, it might collapse during the day.
The snow fell heavier at night, and we had to get up and sweep the snow before dawn because the snow on the roofs was too thick and some roofs of houses in the village had collapsed.
A loud bang woke up countless people.
Wen's mother and Yi Chichi were also awakened. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law crawled out of the quilt, lit a candle in the dark, exchanged glances with each other, and got up to get dressed.
"Someone's roof must have collapsed."
As Wen's mother put on her clothes, she said, "I'll go out and take a look. Chichi, add some firewood to the kang."
The temperature has dropped a lot, and it would be difficult to stay warm until dawn without a firewood kang.
"Okay, Mom, be careful and bring your flashlight."
"knew!"
Wen's mother put on her clothes and opened the door with a flashlight. The raging snow and wind rushed in, followed by the noisy life and hurried footsteps.
Everyone who heard the noise got up.
Yi Chizhi didn't care about what was happening outside. After adding a few pieces of firewood to the kang, she took another flashlight and went out to check the snow on the roof. She found that the snow was really thick.
At this moment, Qin Jiu's voice came, "Gu, what are you looking at?"
Yi Chichi looked back and saw Qin Jiu, who was dressed neatly, standing at the gate and looking at her curiously.
She was delighted, "Xiaojiu, you came just in time. Hold up the flashlight for me while I go up to the roof to sweep the snow."
Qin Jiu uttered an "oh" and took the flashlight while glancing at the rooftop. He was shocked and said, "Oh my god, how come there are so many of them?"
