"Ruman, sorry, we won't talk about it anymore."

Yun Yao apologized, which saved Zhong Xiaoya's face.

I thought the matter was over.

But after the first class, Fu Ruman left the classroom alone, and when she came back, she packed her things and moved to the only empty seat in the class.

Zhong Xiaoya ran to Fu Ruman without giving up, "Ruman, why did you move away?"

“I want to study hard.”

The distant and cold words were like a loud slap in the face. Zhong Xiaoya only felt a burning pain on her face. The eyes of the people around her looked at her as if they were sharp thorns, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

In an empty corner at the end of the corridor, Zhong Xiaoya, with red eyes, confessed her grievances and dissatisfaction to Yun Yao.

"I just chatted with someone after class, but she couldn't solve the problem herself and took it out on me. Did I provoke her?"

Yun Yao casually advised: "Maybe she feels uncomfortable because I gave you the coat but not her."

"She didn't come when we called her last Saturday. Who can we blame?"

After persuading her for a long time, Yun Yao became a little impatient, "Okay, don't be angry, class is about to start, let's go back."

The breakup between Fu Ruman and Zhong Xiaoya did not attract everyone's attention. There was not enough time to study, so who would have the time to pay attention to other people's affairs?

However, when seeing Zhong Xiaoya and Yun Yao returning to the classroom one after another for class, Yun Mo instinctively frowned.

One is her natural enemy, and the other doesn't get along with her. Nothing good will happen if these two get together.

After sending her son to kindergarten, Li Li did not go home to buy groceries as usual, but turned into a silver shop.

"Boss, do you accept this?"

The boss took the silver medal from Li Li's hand, examined it carefully, and shook it in his palm. "I'll take it. 1.5 yuan per gram."

"So low? Don't fool me, other people sell it for 2 yuan per gram."

The boss smiled and said, "There must be a difference between the recycling price and the selling price. We still have to eat, right?"

"It can't be that different."

The boss returned the silver medal to Li Li and said, "Our price is already fair. If you don't believe me, you can go ask other stores. Many of them only charge 1.3 or 1.4 yuan."

In fact, Li Li had asked at the silver shop in the old street yesterday, but the shopkeeper only gave her 1.4 yuan, so she ran outside to ask.

"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to ask, 1.5 yuan is 1.5 yuan, it's a bargain for you."

The boss smiled, took out a scale and weighed the silver medal.

"Four grams."

"So light? Is your scale accurate?"

"Don't worry, I won't cheat you."

Coming out of the silver shop, Li Li looked at the 6 yuan in her hand and couldn't help but curl her lips.

I thought I could sell it for more than ten yuan, but it turned out to be only this much. I got beaten for nothing. That bitch named Yun looked delicate and weak, but she was ruthless when she beat people. She is still in pain.

Li Li put the money into her pocket in disappointment, but when she thought of the silver medal hanging around the neck of the other goose, she couldn't help but start to have other ideas.

The sky was azure and cloudless, and the bright sunshine cast a soft golden glow on the courtyard.

Ling Chunhua sat alone at the stone table in the yard, practicing writing numbers in a small notebook with a pencil.

This was the task her aunt assigned her. After she finished writing from 1 to 100, she could then play.

When I wrote to 25, there was a knock on the door.

Ling Chunhua put down her pencil, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Who's outside?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ling Chunhua turned around and prepared to move a small stool and step on it to open the bolt.

But soon, she remembered what her uncle said yesterday.

Except for my uncle and father, anyone else who knocks on the door has to ask my aunt first. If my aunt is not there, she cannot open the door.

After Ling Chunhua returned to the gate, she shouted to Li Li outside, "Mom, my uncle said that no one can open the door until he comes back."

With a "bang", the door was kicked hard by someone.

Ling Chunhua was so scared that she quickly stepped back.

"Chunhua, are you itching for trouble? Open the door quickly!"

The door kept shaking and rumbling under the constant banging. Even through the thick door, Ling Chunhua could clearly feel her mother's anger.

She suppressed her fear and anxiety, picked up a carrying pole behind the door, and propped up the door to prevent people outside from breaking in.

After doing all this, she turned around and ran back to the yard, squatted in front of the pond with her ears covered, and stared at the big white and two white fish in the pond.

"Hey, what are you doing?! Why are you making a noise at someone's door?"

The commotion in the courtyard soon attracted the attention of the neighbors next door.

Li Li said confidently: "I'm here to find my daughter!"

The neighbor was an old man in his 60s who had a good relationship with Yun Mo and Ling Chuan. He knew that there were no adults in the courtyard and that Li Li was as ferocious as a shrew. He knew at first glance that she was not a good person, so he shouted coldly: "Leave quickly, or I'll call the police!"

When Li Li heard that the old man was going to call the police, she was immediately frightened.

Her younger brother Li Zhijie has become a prisoner in prison reform, and her biological mother Zhu Hongping is also now detained in a detention center. She doesn't want to follow in their footsteps and end up in jail.

—

When Yun Mo returned home from school, she learned that Li Li had come to her house to make trouble again in the morning and was driven away by her neighbor, Mr. Luo. She immediately brought some fruits and cakes to express her gratitude.

When Uncle Luo saw Yun Mo coming to his house, he was extremely happy.

"Miss Xiaomo, you don't have to bring these. I can't finish all the fruits at home."

Yun Mo immediately understood, "Grandpa Luo, have you finished eating the pickled cabbage I sent you last time? I'm going to pickle some in two days, how about I pickle some more and send it to you?"

Uncle Luo smiled so hard that his eyebrows were not visible. "Will it affect your studies? You are in the third year of high school now, and your time is precious."

"Don't delay. No matter how important studying is, you still need clothes to wear and food to eat."

Hearing this, Uncle Luo was no longer polite, "Then please pickle another jar of carrots for me. I like that. Cut the carrots into cubes and mix them with chili oil to drink with porridge. It's so appetizing."

As he spoke, he asked the nanny to bring out a large empty jar, obviously he had been prepared.

When he returned to the courtyard, Ling Chuan saw Yun Mo coming back with a jar that was bigger than her body, and he immediately stepped forward to take it.

"Momo, where did you get the big jar?"

Yun Mo shook her thin arms, which felt sore, and said, "Mr. Luo next door gave it to me. He asked me to help him pickle radishes."

In order to build good relations with the neighbors, Yun Mo gave gifts to all the neighbors shortly after she moved in. The gifts included a small jar of sauerkraut that she had pickled herself and a bag of steamed buns made by Lingchuan.

Ling Chuan shook the jar in his hand and looked at his wife with some heartache, "It takes a lot of effort to fill such a big jar."

Yun Mo looked at him and said, "You and Zhou Xiaowei are still here. You two will have to help when the time comes."

"good!"

Yun Mo took out the money for vegetables that Uncle Luo had given her and handed it to Ling Chuan, "When you have time, go to the market and buy 20 kilograms of carrots, 10 kilograms of green vegetables, 10 kilograms of white radishes, 2 kilograms of green and red peppers each, and some garlic and ginger as well."

"I'll buy it tomorrow."
