Chapter 7 7

"It's so earthy." Jiang Ning said, she casually picked up the shiny chain on her wrist and looked at her: "Is this really gold? Why does it look fake to me? "

"How is that possible?" Jiang Yueqin immediately screamed like a chicken with its feathers exploded: "Of course it's true! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand anything!"

Jiang Ning put down the chain on her wrist and spoke slowly She raised her head: "Who says I don't understand?"

She nodded at the physical chemistry book on the desk: "It's all written in the book. "Gold is a non-magnetic metal and will not attract magnets. I have a magnet at home. Do you want to try it? If it can attract it, it is fake." She opened the drawer enthusiastically as she spoke. Help her find the posture of the magnet, "By the way, there is another way to detect whether it is real gold."

She turned her head and said sincerely He looked at Jiang Yueqin angrily: "Gold and concentrated nitric acid solution will not produce any chemical reaction, but if it is fake, or gold-plated, it will turn green or gold. Do you want to try it?"

Jiang Yueqin's face turned pale , tightly grasping the bracelet on her wrist: "Who... who wants to try? Who knows if you can melt my bracelet? I heard that the people in the gold shop will melt the gold of people who go to wash their necklaces. Come down one level and sell it yourself!"

She was a little impatient to escape, and stammered, "I... I have something to do at home, I won't tell you anymore, hum!"

Jiang Xi kept watching her back as she left. It has the feeling of fleeing in panic.

Seeing her reminded her of the time when she had to walk hundreds of kilometers alone, begging for food along the train tracks to get home, and her dark past during her three years in high school when she was rumored to be an adulteress and bullied at school.

Few people knew that she had been taken to such a place. When she returned home, she did not even tell Jiang's father and mother. She subconsciously knew that it was not a good place and could not tell anyone. She just said that she missed home and wanted to go back home. Grandpa wanted to continue his studies, so he ran back alone.

Jiang's mother was so angry that she scolded her for being a wild boar that couldn't eat fine bran. She didn't know how to cherish such a good job, and she would rather beg for food and walk hundreds of kilometers to get home than work. You must study.

The only people who were able to reach her school later were Jiang Yueqin and a few people she knew there. Two of them were also from the eldest wife's family and were much older than her. She had no contact with them at all

. , they were not from the same village, not even from the same township, and they had never met before.

She didn't know if it was Jiang Yueqin, nor did she know what her purpose was in spreading such a rumor about her. Later, she understood that in this world , some malicious, it has no purpose, it is pure evil, just like later on the Internet, countless obscene men said under the girl's photo that she was the No. 8 technician sitting at a certain nightclub.

There are even women, purely In order to create a topic and attract attention, he made up rumors about kindergarten teachers he didn't even know.

Sometimes, don't dwell on the reasons, don't ask others why, because some people are just pure bad.

After Jiang Yueqin returned, she touched the bracelet on her wrist. The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. She wanted to find a magnet to suck on. But she was afraid that she might have been addicted.

A day later, she went to find Jiang Xi again.

On the one hand, she wanted to confirm whether her bracelet was real. On the other hand, she came back to bring some It costs 500 yuan to take one girl

with you, and 5,000 yuan to take ten girls with you.

Unfortunately, all the girls in the village went to work in the factory, and only Jiang Liu, Jiang Hehua and Jiang Gangqin were left in the village. people.

She didn't dare to take Jiang Hehua with her, and Jiang Gangqin... that was even more impossible. She was the treasure of her family, with many brothers and sisters, and she was very strong, especially her mother. If she really dared to take Jiang Gangqin away, she would Mom would really bring their whole family to tear her whole family apart, and then tear her boss's whole family apart.

Only Jiang Xi.

Speaking of Jiang Xi, she originally thought that when she came back, she would see a white, tall, and full of A bookish and pretty girl, but not only was she skinny, she also had her hair shaved like a boy, long in the front and short in the back, with a patch in the middle that looked like it had been shaved flat by a knife, like a bald head

. Like a girl.

If I take this with me, I can only be a waiter.

But Jiang Yueqin thought that it would be fine after two years of care, after all, her father and her brothers were all very good-looking.

Thinking of Jiang Xi, Jiang Yueqin came to the Jiang family again.

She was still wearing a tight short-sleeved shirt with exposed nipples today. Her body was well-proportioned, she was wearing orange bell-bottom pants, two metal chains around her waist, and a pair of white platform sandals. She came to the Jiang family, facing the eyes of the villagers who were looking at her

. Although Yueqin was her elementary school classmate, she was not very familiar with him.

There is a local saying here that goes "It's a waste of time to study at the age of eight", which means that if you study before the age of eight, you will not get any grades. Rural people are superstitious about this saying, so most children of their generation are nine years old. Jiang Xi was the only one who went to school at the age of ten. Jiang's father thought that Jiang Xi was very smart when she was young. When other children were sent to school at the age of nine or ten, she was only seven years old, and she was five years old. Ten-year-olds were in the same class.

For example, Jiang Gangqin, who was in the same class with her, was three years older than her.

So she and her classmates basically couldn't play together, and they didn't take her to play.

Jiang Yueqin, however, acted as if they were very familiar with each other. When she arrived at the Jiang family's house, she didn't even wait for an invitation. She stepped through the door by herself and sat on the long bench next to the Jiang family's dining table. She looked at Jiang Yueqin with a smile in her eyes. The old, dim house at home, with obvious complacency and contempt in her eyes: "Xingxing, you are alone at home?"

She said self-centeredly: "You know I built a big house for my family? Now my mother I was not allowed to work. I even forgot how to harvest the rice."

Jiang Qi had just come back from harvesting rice and was about to make breakfast for Jiang's father and the others. Upon hearing this, he handed the sickle to Jiang Yueqin and said, "It doesn't matter if you forgot how to harvest. Let's go. I'll teach you!" She looked like she was about to leave. I still have eight acres of land to harvest at home. Go and harvest two acres. I guarantee you will remember how to harvest rice.

She just came home. She still had her straw hat, towel, and sleeves on. She looked like The sight of him preparing to cut rice scared Jiang Yueqin so much that she almost jumped up and shouted, "I'm kidding you, I'm not going to cut rice. I can't even finish cutting my own rice, so who wants to cut your rice?" "You're from your hometown?"

Jiang Qing put down the scythe with regret: "Didn't you forget how to harvest rice? I was thinking of teaching you out of kindness, and I didn't even plan to charge you tuition."

She took off her hat and dug a well. After rubbing the towel with water, he washed his face and washed the mud off his arms and legs.

A leech had crawled onto her calf at some point, so she slapped it a few times, picked it off and threw it away. Since she didn't have an iodine stick, she went to the yard and picked a chili leaf and stuck it on the calf, pressing it for a while to stop the bleeding.

She didn't know that chili would stop bleeding. She didn't know whether Ye could stop the bleeding, but that was how people in the countryside did it, so she did it too.

Jiang Yueqin followed closely behind her. When she saw her throwing leeches, even though they were not thrown in her direction, she still jumped back several steps on the spot, and then walked over with a look of disgust on her face: "I asked you to come work with me, but you didn't want to."

She stood on the muddy ground beside the Jiang family's well in her snow-white platform shoes. The pure white on her feet formed a sharp contrast with the mud on Jiang Yu's feet: "Look at me, then look at you." She pointed at her new clothes, then pointed at Jiang Yu's shabby clothes: "What's the point of studying? You can't make any money. Even if you study for a few years, when will you be able to make money? " I'm a teacher, I only make 100 yuan a month, I might as well work!"

She looked very proud: "Do you know how much money I brought back this time?" She spread out her five fingers, stretched them in front of Jiang Liu, and shook them proudly: "Five thousand!"

She turned around and looked at the low and old house of the Jiang family, and clicked her tongue twice: "Your house is still made of mud walls. Whose house still uses mud walls now?" The

Jiang family's house was built the year Jiang's father got married. Bricks were used below and mud bricks were used above. In the past, most houses in the village were built with a combination of bricks and mud bricks, but now there are fewer of them, and they have basically been replaced with red bricks and cement.

The Jiang family's house is indeed unique in this area, dilapidated and short.

She said, "How can you be ashamed to see your family in such a state? Why don't you give your family some money to change the house? Not to mention a building, a bungalow is also fine!"

Jiang Yueqin was very proud of the fact that she built a building for her family. She walked in the village with her head held high. She was so proud.

Who in the village doesn't praise her for her ability, filial piety, and her parents' blessing?

"When I build our building, I can get married!" She showed a yearning expression on her face. At the age of 19, she had a mature innocence on her face.

She followed Jiang Xi, her eyes fixed on Jiang Xi who was concentrating on making pancakes in the dim and small kitchen, like an adult who had seen the world, looking at a country girl, full of superiority.

"You have never been to the city, have you? The lights in the city are colorful, more beautiful than a rainbow, and there is no mud on the road, unlike our hometown, where when it rains, your feet can sink three feet into the mud." "

In the city, both sides of the road are full of apples, oranges, and dates, you can pick them as you like, but I take them and throw them away, I don't want to eat them."

"Have you seen a car? It drives so fast!"

She said so much, but she saw no reaction on Jiang Xi's face, no envy or yearning, and no jealousy or inferiority, so she couldn't help but anxiously: "Do you want to go out with me? It's really profitable. You can be a waiter first, and you can earn 200 yuan a month!" She held up two fingers, "If I wasn't short of people, I wouldn't take you with me. It's only because your mother came to me for help!"

She raised her chin proudly.

"No."

At that time, workers in the city only earned about 100 yuan a month, and many people were facing the crisis of being laid off. 200 yuan a month was a huge salary that many rural girls dared not even think about.

Many people were surprised when they heard her say that she had a basic salary of 200 yuan a month. Then they wanted to go too.

But Jiang Xi was unmoved with a cold face, holding the baked cake and driving her out: "I don't want to make money, I just want to study and take the college entrance examination. You go now."

Jiang Yueqin was anxious: "Hey, what's the point of taking the college entrance examination? Studying is so tiring!"

Jiang Xi put the prepared breakfast into the vegetable basket, looked up at her: "I'm not tired, studying is so easy for me."
