Chapter 56: The ties that bind
And it quickly became a fashion trend.
Huang Xinran naturally understood it very well, but looking at these bell-bottom pants now, it was as if he saw small money flying in front of his eyes.
"Sister, don't you like it? I told you, the driver simply didn't want to pay, so he gave us these goods in exchange..." Seeing that Huang Xinran was hesitant to make a choice, Huang Hongyi sighed.
"Brother, you misunderstood. I like both these pants and the frog mirror very much."
Looking at these things, Huang Xinran's mind raced: "Brother, how about this. You keep these things, and when I find a chance to exchange them for money, we can split them in half. How do you think?"
"Okay, take it!"
Huang Hongyi was worried about how difficult it would be to explain after taking these things back, so when Huang Xinran said this, he couldn't wait to agree.
She looked at Lu Yunchen again. Lu Yunchen pushed her directly in front of Huang Xinran without saying anything, which also represented her opinion.
Huang Xinran happily put away all her things, and when she came out, she heard the two of them talking about the distribution of the proceeds from this trip.
"Okay, I'll take the money. You told me before that you have a way to buy a bicycle? Don't worry, if you have any, you will definitely reserve one for me."
"Okay, if there is news, it will be in the next few days."
Hearing Lu Yunchen's agreement, Huang Xinran's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then she remembered that Lu Yunchen had actually spent a huge amount of money to buy a three-turn and one-ring in order to marry her, which was so glorious.
Unfortunately, after Xiao Huayu "borrowed" the bicycle several times, it was never returned.
Nowadays, even if Lu Yunchen wants to go into the city, he can only take bus No. 11.
Thinking of this, Huang Xinran hurriedly called his eldest brother: "Brother, I happened to have the money I borrowed from my parents last time. I'll return it to you first."
She ran back to her parents' home, and "borrowed" more than 300 yuan by all means. Counting the more than 100 yuan she paid back last time, she now took out more than 200 yuan, which was considered to be settled.
"You should take this money first. I don't need it for the time being."
Huang Hongyi broke out in a cold sweat.
Don't think he doesn't know. When my sister borrowed money from her, my brother-in-law probably didn't know about it at all. Now I'm paying him back in front of him. When he returns, they're probably going to have a fight...
Thinking of this, he was even more afraid to take the money.
"Ran Ran, I know that you were used to spending money lavishly when Yun Chen was not at home. But now your brother-in-law is home, if you need to spend money, you should discuss it with him. There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Don't hurt your relationship for a few material things."
These words were not spoken to Huang Xinran at all, they were clearly spoken to him!
Lu Yunchen understood the implication of his brother-in-law's words, but he just glanced at Huang Xinran and said nothing.
Huang Xinran was very embarrassed. There was nothing like that between her and Lu Yunchen...
She hurriedly pushed her eldest brother: "I know, I know! Brother, didn't you say you wanted to go back? Hurry up, or it will be dawn."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Brother-in-law, please remember about the bicycle!"
As soon as Huang Hongyi left, Huang Xinran obediently returned to the room and curled up under the quilt.
No matter how far Lu Yunchen sent the person, when he came back, she was already asleep.
Looking at his sleeping wife and children, Lu Yunchen felt complicated.
Over the years, his allowance has been increasing, and now it is several hundred yuan a month. He doesn't have to spend any money in the army, and except for a very small amount, the rest is mailed back to his hometown for family expenses.
Unexpectedly, after returning from this trip, he discovered that many things were different from what he had imagined.
Maomao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly kicked and kicked the quilt away. He hurriedly covered the child with the quilt, and when he turned around, he saw Huang Xinran sleeping soundly. His heart was heavy.
Even though he doesn't listen, watch or think, there are always people who reveal many things to him intentionally or unintentionally.
In particular, he knew very well the lingering relationship between Huang Xinran and her childhood sweetheart.
This further strengthened his idea of divorce.
Forget it. It’s not a good idea to stay here any longer. I should finish what I need to do and go back to the army as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he took a stool and placed it on the edge of the bed, then lay down silently.
The next day, before dawn, Sun Ya brought people to pick cherries.
Lu Tianlei obviously hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot. It wasn't until he saw Sun Ya instructing his subordinates to pick the cherries from the tree, weigh them, and pay them that his heart finally settled down.
"It's really worth the money..."
Lu Tianlei's hands were shaking when he held the money!
20 pieces for 5 yuan, this is not just selling fruits, this is simply a sky-high price!
Think about how hard he worked on the farm, facing the loess and back to the sky, and after a year he could barely feed his family. Unexpectedly, he earned so much money just by selling some fruits... It was really unexpected!
Not only Lu Tianlei lost his composure, but even Lu Yunchen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
On the contrary, Huang Xinran was particularly calm.
Think about the cherries that cost 70 or 80 yuan per pound in later generations, and then look at the current price, it doesn't seem strange at all.
As soon as Sun Ya left, Lu Tianlei covered his chest and beat it continuously.
Frightened, Lu Yunchen rushed forward to help him calm down: "Dad, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay! I just feel like I'm still dreaming. Yun Chen, give me a pinch... Hey, you're really strong!"
"Dad, I feel like I'm dreaming too."
Lu Yunchen had actually seen Huang Xinran selling cherries with his own eyes, so he naturally knew the price. When he was stimulated again, his reaction was naturally not as strong as Lu Tianlei's.
Lu Tianlei even started to smile foolishly.
Less than a pound of cherries cost only 5 yuan. If I had known this earlier, I would have asked my fourth son to plant more...
"No! I have to go and check. We can't let the sparrows take the cherries away!" Lu Tianlei got up again and went to inspect in high spirits.
As for his previous concern for growing crops, that was also forgotten.
Lu Yunchen shook his head and smiled, which was rare.
Huang Xinran counted the money, took out the half that belonged to the Lu family, and handed it to Lu Yunchen: "Hey, give this money to your dad!"
Today I earned more than 100 yuan, although it is less than the previous few days, but compared with farming, it is a world of difference.
Lu Yunchen hesitated for a moment before taking the money. In the end, he couldn't help but say one more sentence: "Don't rush to spend the money now that you have it. The child is still young, and there will be many places to spend money in the future."
"I see."
Huang Xinran smiled happily.
She had split the money with the Lu family before, and she got nearly 1,000 yuan. She gave more than 200 yuan to her eldest brother last night, and now she has received more than 100 yuan in her account. In total, she has another 800 yuan.
Such a large sum of money is enough for her to use as capital.
It's time to do some small business.
