After the double harvest was over, Chen Chunhua went to the village to save some money. It was the money she earned from delivering eggs on her bike every day. She hadn't gone to save it for almost two months, and she had saved a big bag.
Every time she deposited money, she would carefully look at the numbers written by the teller. She could not recognize all the other Chinese characters, but she knew Arabic numerals.
These days passbooks are all handwritten, and the error rate is quite high. She has to take a good look and make sure everything is correct before leaving.
Chen Chunhua went home with the passbook in her pocket, and the tricycle flew up under her feet. Last time, she hadn't had time to calculate the total after depositing the money, so this time she asked the teller to use a calculator to help her calculate it. They had it!
Buy meat! I have to buy five pounds of pork belly today. It’s okay if it’s a little more expensive without meat coupons. Her family has money now!
When Lin Guoqing came home from get off work, he was blinded by a booklet as soon as he entered the house. He took it down and saw that it was a passbook.
He was delighted, "Ten thousand yuan household?"
Chen Chunhua grinned, hands on her hips, and nodded, "Ten thousand yuan household!"
Lin Guoqing looked at the densely packed figures on the pages and did the math in his head. He really was a millionaire! Yuan! That's enough to build a house!
Chen Chunhua was still grinning when Lin Guoqing suddenly lifted her up by her buttocks and spun her around madly in the yard.
"Chunhua! Our family has become rich! Hahahahahaha... Are we considered the richest family in Sihe Village? Hahahaha..."
"Idiot! Keep your voice down!" Chen Chunhua didn't even have time to be afraid. She was suspended in mid-air, and she quickly covered Lin Guoqing's mouth with her hand. How could such a thing be publicized so loudly? Then starting tomorrow, I can't leave anything in the house!
"Keep your voice down! Why don't you stand at the village entrance and talk?"
“Mmmmm…” Lin Guoqing finally regained some sanity, his mouth free again, “…Hehe, I’m just happy!”
"Should we celebrate today? We've just finished the double harvest and need to catch up."
Chen Chunhua rolled her eyes at him. "Do you even need to tell me? I spent five yuan today!" She held up her fingers. "I asked someone to buy five pounds of meat. It was all pork belly, very fatty!"
"Five yuan? Meat is so expensive now?" But thinking that his family had no meat coupons recently, Lin Guoqing waved his hand and said, "Five yuan is five yuan! We still need that five yuan to buy meat!"
His family is a millionaire, okay? They can't even afford meat, it's too embarrassing for their millionaire team.
However, this millionaire seems to be very impressive, but when you calculate carefully, you will find that the money is not enough to spend, and it is not even enough.
Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua wanted to build a two-story house with three rooms, which would cost at least 12,000 yuan. This was just the money for building the building, not including the money for buying the land from the village.
After building a house, you still have to prepare furniture. One room for each child means that each child needs a bed and a cabinet. Children are all studying and have to do their homework when they get home. They can't always squeeze at the dining table to do their homework, right?
Shuying will be taking the college entrance exam soon and needs a quiet study environment, so she needs a desk in her room. We already have a large one, but would we like a small one? That would make four.
Now that we have furniture, we still need household items, right? Quilts? Everyone needs them, right? Sheets, quilt covers, and pillows, right? Liang Shengdi knows how to weave summer straw mats, but do we need to make thin blankets from shredded fabric? By then, we'll even need extra toilets.
With this calculation, the 12,000 yuan I have saved now is not enough at all. I need to prepare at least 15,000 yuan to be safe.
After dinner, the children helped each other with their homework at the dining table in the main hall. Liang Shengdi went out to chat, and Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua lay together at the head of the bed and carefully calculated the accounts.
Fortunately, Ma Dexiang said to wait a while. If he hadn't given the land directly without waiting, they would have been worried.
Just as he was calculating, he heard crying outside. Little Shumei ran into the room, crying breathlessly. Lin Guoqing quickly got up and hugged the child.
"What's wrong, Xiaonan? Did the third brother bully you? Third brother! You..." Before she could finish the word "get out", the third brother came in by himself, also crying with tears on his face.
"Dad... Mom... Sister... Sister..."
Chen Chunhua didn't even have time to put on her shoes and ran out. She saw Lin Shuying holding her stomach and standing by the table with a pale face. Lin Shugan was holding a piece of cloth with light pink blood on it. He was wiping his sister's pants with shaking hands. When he saw Chen Chunhua come out, the tears that he had been holding back for a long time began to fall.
"Mom...sister...sister said her stomach hurt, and then it started bleeding...I couldn't wipe it clean, so it kept bleeding..."
"Mom, am I going to die..." Lin Shuying just felt a pain in her stomach. She felt like there was liquid flowing down from her lower body. Did she have some terminal illness?
"Mom, if, if it's too expensive, I won't treat it..."
Lin Shuying thought, "Don't waste this money. I remember spending a lot of money on her own illness as a child..." Her illness must be more serious now, right? Wouldn't it bankrupt her? So, let's not treat her and save the money for her younger siblings' education.
In a flash, Lin Shuying had almost finished making arrangements for her funeral.
Chen Chunhua: ...
She really was almost having a heart attack because of these little idiots, and the result was... it was her fault.
Lin Guoqing was following behind, running out with Lin Shumei in his arms, who was crying loudly. Then he coughed awkwardly twice and turned away.
Chen Chunhua snatched the towel from the second child's hand in annoyance, and pushed him towards Lin Guoqing, "Go, go, go out and play with your dad, don't stand here and get in the way."
Lin Guoqing put the little girl on the ground, took the second child's arm with his left hand, pulled the third child's ear with his right hand and walked out.
"Dad! Sister..." The third child wanted to look back, but Lin Guoqing slapped him on the head and called him back.
"Your sister is fine, stop yelling."
"No, my sister is bleeding..."
"Shut up! Are you itching for trouble again? Come out for a walk with me..."
Lin Shuying was wearing a pair of light khaki cropped pants today, and the blood stain had turned black, making it very noticeable. She stood there motionless, afraid that she would die in the next second.
Chen Chunhua quickly brought hot water and nodded towards her two daughters.
"Come in with me now, don't just stand there."
"But...but...the blood is still flowing..."
"Mom... is my sister sick... Wuuwuwu, I don't want any pocket money anymore. Please take my sister to see a doctor..."
Chen Chunhua: ...
"You're bleeding even if you're standing there. Come in and I'll teach you. This isn't a disease; it's the menstrual period that girls have every month. I was too busy before and didn't teach you about this... Xiaonan, come in too, don't cry..."

After watching Tang Gui for two days, I feel like my heart is scattered. I can't even organize my words to Xiao Gang. It's killing me ((o(;△;)o))
