Perhaps knowing that Qiu Yuling just needed to take a break before going back to school, Aunt Li didn't wait too long. After dinner, when the old man took Meiyin out for a walk, she was no longer able to keep the matter under control.
"Yuling, Auntie wants to discuss something with you."
Qiu Yuling thought to herself, here it comes.
"Aunt, you say."
"My aunt just went out and thought about it, and she felt that what the old man said was right. Ever since the old man and you became friends, he has indeed been well taken care of. I have seen it all since I came here. None of his clothes are dirty, and the collars are even protected.
And the quilt head has two layers of cloth, and the pillows and pillowcases are clean, without any smell of old oil. It is completely different from when the old man came back and was alone.
"My aunt is just being naughty with my dad, but in her heart she's so grateful and loves you. She has an idea: she wants to buy your bicycle ticket."
She paused deliberately, and seeing that Qiu Yuling didn't respond, she continued, "Auntie won't take advantage of you. I checked the ticket first, it's a Phoenix brand ticket, which happens to be available in Beijing.
My aunt is not taking advantage of you. Someone in our family compound resold the ticket and she gave eighty yuan at the time. My aunt will also give you eighty yuan. I will talk to the old man.
To be honest, I didn’t buy it for myself, I wanted to give it as a gift, to arrange a job for Junjun, and if I add another ticket, it will probably be done…”
One drawback of Qiu Yuling's farm is that it cannot exploit social order. For example, if there is a shortage of supplies outside, she can exchange tickets from the system mall, which is much more expensive than if she orders the product directly.
Probably to prevent her from competing with the people for profit.
Therefore, she seldom went out to exchange bills unless necessary, but when she did buy supplies, they were considered to be sold from the farm, and the value was not much different from what she would get on the market.
So even if her aunt gave her 80 yuan, she still didn't make any money.
But this ticket was also something she had originally planned to give away for free.
Now, with the argument in the morning and the table behind, the benefit she got from giving up her ticket was greater than what she got for free in the morning.
In this way, the old man's favor was repaid, and his children and I didn't become enemies. It was worth it.
"It's okay, aunt, but isn't this too much money?" It is still necessary to refuse.
"It's not much. At least this is a universal ticket, and it can be used for transactions in other places. It's worth the price." If it's less, her father will come out to trouble her again and will definitely not let her get what she wants.
She had no choice but to accept the situation when she had to deal with such a treacherous father. However, the girl wasn't a heartless child. She couldn't tell whether she was getting any benefit or loss from the fact that she had taken such good care of her father.
How could this kind of quarreling be missed? Qiu Yuling is now very familiar with it. After pushing it back and forth, she finally accepted it reluctantly.
There is another sum of money coming in, which is more or less convenient for me.
Qiu Yuling originally wanted to leave early the next morning, but it turned out that Aunt Li left faster than her.
It turned out that he had not only bought food the day before, but also bought train tickets. When he came back in the evening, he also bought a bicycle ticket. He had nothing to worry about anymore, so he packed his bags and left overnight.
The old man seemed to be used to it. He got up early to see her off, and when he came back he acted as if nothing had happened and played with Bank of America.
"Uncle, why are you up so early? Where's my aunt?"
"I'm back. I'll be at the station at five."
"Ah? I didn't hear anything, and I didn't even get up to see my aunt off."
"She didn't bring any luggage, and it was very early. She deliberately didn't bother you. You're a tenant now, why do you care about her?" The last sentence was obviously emotional.
Qiu Yuling laughed. "Old man, what a fuss!" she thought. "Being a tenant would be good for everyone."
I'll make you a meal at noon. I have to go to school in the afternoon.
"Come on, let's make up for the meal we didn't eat out yesterday."
"Yes, I have just made some windfall, and I will treat you today."
The old man didn't agree and insisted on treating her. During the meal, he kept asking her if Zhou Zhou would come back after school started.
"Come on, why not? I was thinking that if the supervision is not strict this semester, I can come back and stay here every day. If I don't ride my bike in the morning, I can just run over and skip the morning training."
"Well, good news." The old man sat up straight in an instant.
He also told Qiu Yuling that if the parents' signature was needed, she should call him back.
"It's summer now, the days are getting longer, so it's time to run around. I'll go to the cafeteria and get some food for you."
"No need, sir. I'll eat at school before coming out. Otherwise, I'll ask you to wait for me. Just take care of your own meal and don't worry about me so much. Otherwise, I'd better live on campus. It's too much trouble for others."
"Okay, I won't beat you. Just come back and live here with peace of mind." It's always better to have people living in the yard than to have no people at all.
Since she had this plan, Qiu Yuling didn't reserve a bed at all. Even if it was windy or rainy, it wouldn't be difficult for her.
The teacher actually needs the parents' signature, and the student will only be allowed to go if he or she is under the supervision of someone in the city.
Qiu Yuling went back to carry the old man to school, signed and sealed the document, and then happily took him home.
It’s a bit far, but it’s safe and gives you peace of mind.
The old man is a man after all, and he is very rough-hearted. He can't take care of many things at all. He just wants the girl to come back every day, early or late, and doesn't care at all.
Qiu Yuling runs to and from school every day, just like she was back in Qiuzhuang.
I had nowhere to go at noon, so I read in the library. If I came across a book that was rare on the market, I would make a rubbing of it and keep it for myself.
She hadn't forgotten that her two cousins were about to take the high school entrance exams, so they had to hand out the test papers and exercise books. This time, she didn't have a copy for each of them, so she made a copy and sent it back to them, asking them to copy it by hand.
It’s strange to say, when we lived in the same dormitory, I didn’t see anyone talking to her that much.
Ever since she stopped living in the dormitory, her former roommates lined up every day to talk to her.
Li Feidan and Zhao Xiaogu were fine, as they had always gotten along better than the others, but even Zhang Caiyue and Liu Xiaofang suddenly had endless things to say to her and an endless friendship to continue.
"Yuling, you know Qiusha doesn't live in our dormitory anymore. She moved across the street. It would be great if you didn't move out. No one would make trouble, and we'd still be together. How wonderful it would be."
"I'm leaving because of no one's influence. It's just that it's more convenient to stay with my relatives. I can bring some lunch and other things. I can save a little bit."
"Your relatives are so kind to you. I used to think your conditions were poor, but now that I see you have a lunch box, I'm really willing to bring you some food."
That’s right, Qiu Yuling doesn’t eat in the cafeteria every meal. She occasionally brings some food with her. It’s not an excessive combination, but the quality is much better than that in the student cafeteria.
Even though she also uses black steamed bread, it doesn't make your throat sore at all. She specially steams it by mixing black flour, buckwheat flour and corn flour.
There was also a box full of vegetable dumplings, but she mixed them with oil. Not only was it delicious with rice, it was also very appetizing.
The information gap between the two finally allowed her to have delicious meals every day without having to worry about hiding anything.
