Chapter 37 Bringing a Cart of Stuff Home (Revised)
Today is the last day of the busy farming season. All the villagers have gone to the brigade for a meeting. There are not many people in the village, only children running around and playing.
Zhou Qi drove into the village smoothly, and when he arrived at the Lin family's gate, only a few children followed him stealthily.
Lin Qingqing got out of the car to open the door, while Lin Zhiqing, Zhou Qi and Song Yiyuan opened the trunk and moved things down.
"Aunt." Erqi took a step forward with his short legs and pounced on Lin Qingqing.
If I don’t see my aunt for a day, I miss her.
The other children heard the sound and rushed over.
"My aunt brought you some delicious food. Go aside first and let Uncle Six bring the food in."
The obedient children all stepped aside, and the older children looked at the car at the door, their faces full of joy, and ran out to circle around the car.
Lin Zhiqing and the other two brought all the things into the yard and waited for Lin Qi to come back to pack them up.
Lin Qingqing poured out three glasses of water: "Comrade Zhou, come over and have some water first. You've worked hard today."
Zhou Qi waved his hand: "Come and drink after the food is moved."
Lin Qingqing simply stopped trying to persuade them, and took out some candies and hard candies, giving two to each child, and asked Daqi to give one to each of the children who were peeking at the door.
The child at the door took the candy with a red face and ran away.
After moving the grain, everyone was sweating profusely. Although the sun was setting, the temperature was still high. July is the hottest time of the year.
Zhou Qi drank a glass of water and said he was leaving. Lin Qingqing and Lin Zhiqing both tried to keep him.
"Let's eat first and then leave."
"Comrade Zhou, I asked you to run around today. How can you just drink a glass of water and leave?"
Zhou Yi glanced at Song Yiyuan fearfully and grinned, "We have to go. The army has time constraints, and we can't eat at fellow villagers' homes. It's against the rules."
Lin Qingqing grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into Zhou Qi's hand: "Then be careful on the road."
Zhou Qi couldn't refuse, so he put all the candies in his pocket, stood at attention and saluted.
Song Yiyuan returned a military salute, then turned and left. He felt a headache when he saw the people from the city army.
After sending Zhou Qi away, Da Qi and Er Qi dared to go and look at the pile of things in the yard, touching them here and there.
The countryside is poor, and the children have never seen so many good things. They have been dizzy these two days. They see people constantly bringing things home, and the adults teach them not to tell others about it. The aunt is so nice to them, and they are even more dizzy than the adults.
......
After the sun had completely set, the Lin family members came back together. They had checked their work points today, so they came back a little late.
"Wow, why are there so many things?" Zhang Guilian exclaimed as she pushed the door open and saw the yard full of things.
Li Zhaodi came in later and was speechless when she saw these things.
The people who came in later were also stunned. Lin Zhijun looked at the food piled on the ground and asked: "Eleven bags?"
When Li Lanying saw the shiny sewing machine, her heart tightened. She was the only one in the family who could make clothes, and this sewing machine was bought for her family to make clothes. She felt a little dizzy.
Lin Qingqing hurriedly explained, "Weren't we going to the city today? The army drove us back, and I thought it would be convenient to bring some things with me, so I went to the department store and bought some. I'll need them for the wedding banquet at home in a few days."
Lin Li was circling around the things on the ground, talking about money but keeping his eyes glued to the things.
"Second sister-in-law, don't you want to make money by making clothes for others? I bought a sewing ticket today. From now on, you will have to make clothes for the family."
These words were so touching that Li Lanying was almost moved to tears.
"How can this be considered hard work? We are all family. His aunt, I will start making your wedding clothes tomorrow."
Lin Guosheng consciously moved the sewing machine to his room with Li Lanying.
"Oh, white flour and refined rice." Zhang Guilian didn't know when she got close to the food and exclaimed when she saw the bag containing white flour and refined rice.
Lin Li also came over to take a look: "Ni'er, you are about to leave, why did you buy so much white flour and refined rice? It's not easy to take it away."
Lin Li's doting on Lin Qingqing is solidified, and his impression of Lin Qingqing is also fixed. Even though Lin Qingqing has changed a lot in her attitude towards her family and can make money in the past few days, Lin Li still feels that Lin Qingqing will think of herself first.
Lin Qingqing pointed at the children surrounding the adults and said, "Buy some for Da'er and the others. Look how skinny they are. If they don't eat well now, how can they grow tall?"
After hearing this, even Li Zhaodi, who had always hated Lin Qingqing, could not find any fault with her. She was even happier that she was treating the child better than herself.
Lin Qi was dazzled by the sight and hurriedly called his sons to carry it into the house.
If someone comes to visit, they will be jealous.
The Lin family hurriedly carried large and small bags of things into the house.
"Mom, come to my room, I have something to tell you."
Lin Qi hurriedly followed and when they got to the room, Lin Qingqing took out the passbook and one thousand cash from her bag and put them on the bed.
"I just happened to withdraw the money when I went to the city today. Take this money."
Lin Li looked at the stack of money on the bed. It was one hundred Great Unity notes. Oh my god, she sat down quickly and was so excited that she couldn't speak for a moment.
"Mom, don't worry and take it. Our family has not had a good time these past few years. Now we will make up for whatever we need. Our lives will get better and better in the future."
Lin Li wiped the corners of his eyes. The girl he had loved since childhood had grown up.
"I'll go put the money away. Keep your money safe too. Don't show off your wealth outside."
Lin Qingqing nodded heavily, it would be safe in the space.
This time, out of the 20,000 yuan she earned from selling the prescription, she gave 10,000 yuan directly to her family. This was because her husband had replaced her original self, and she would not be able to fulfill her filial duties when she went to join the army. This money was all for her retirement.
Tell those sisters-in-law to know that the money is in Lin Li's hands, and they should obey Lin Li and not do anything evil in the future. As long as this family is in Lin Li's hands, according to Lin Li's hot-tempered personality, if her family builds a house in the future and the villagers are jealous or the relatives are jealous of their family's good fortune, the Lin family will not suffer any loss.
These are all Lin Qingqing could plan for her family before she left.
It was Li Zhaodi's turn to cook today. She was busy in the kitchen with a smile on her face. She had originally thought that the Lin family would be poor forever, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and there was hope for the future.
Song Yiyuan grew up in a military compound. This was his first time in the countryside. Seeing a family of more than 20 people so happy over such a small amount of things, he felt quite touched.
It’s because we are too poor. The living standards of the Chinese people are in urgent need of improvement.
