The two walked back, and there were more than a dozen haystacks on the side of the road. Ye Chenming ran to the haystack in the middle and quickly pulled the bicycle out.
Seeing the bicycle, Bei Nan felt relieved and decided never to ride a bike again. Bicycles are precious things, and it would be terrible if they were lost.
When the two arrived at the Yan family home, Yan Xiaonan came out to greet them. The grass on the bicycle had already been cleared by the two of them on the road, but Yan Xiaonan still noticed it.
Yan Xiaonan grabbed Bei Nan: "Third Brother, what happened?"
Bei Nan was surprised and looked around: "Someone wanted to ride my car, but I refused, so we got into a fight."
Yan Xiaonan was taken aback: "Do you know him?"
Both the North and South shook their heads, noting that many homeless people have emerged recently.
Yan Xiaonan looked at Ye Chenming: "You got into a fight too?"
Ye Chenming smiled and shook his head: "I missed it."
Yan Xiaonan~
"Have you bought the cotton and fabric yet?"
"No, there are only a few bolts of floral fabric, for making clothes." Ye Chenming was disappointed.
"My grandma said we still have a few pounds of cotton. She told you to bring over your quilts and add some cotton inside, but you'll have to pay for the cotton." Yan Xiaonan offered a perk.
Ye Chenming was overjoyed and quickly took out money and tickets from his pocket: "Yan Xiaonan, thank you, how much is it? Here you go."
Yan Xiaonan thought for a moment, "How about one yuan per pound, including the labor fee for adding cotton for you."
Ye Chenming took out ten yuan and stuffed it into his hand: "Yan Xiaonan, take this first. If you have cotton, add some for me. If not, keep it here and we'll talk about it when we get some."
Yan Xiaonan looked at the money in his hand. One cotton quilt plus three jin, two quilts would be six jin. Their cotton-padded jackets also need to have cotton added, so ten yuan should be about right.
Yan Xiaoqiang came out when he heard the noise. Ever since Bei Nan rode away with his bicycle, he had been feeling uneasy.
Now that he's back, Yan Xiaoqiang thought, "I need to take a good look around." He kept circling the bicycle.
Bei Nan's heart beat faster and faster as he spun around. Sure enough, Yan Xiaoqiang beckoned Bei Nan over.
Bei Nan glanced at Yan Xiaonan, her legs went weak, and Yan Xiaonan felt a little embarrassed, since Ye Chenming was still standing.
"Ye Chenming, bring a blanket before you go to work tomorrow. You can go back now," Yan Xiaonan said.
Ye Chenming nodded quickly and said to Yan Xiaoqiang with difficulty, "Dad Yan, thank you. I'll be going now."
Yan Xiaoqiang nodded, then looked at Bei Nan.
Yan Xiaonan ran over and hugged her father's arm, saying seriously, "Dad, come inside, I have something to tell you."
Yan Xiaoqiang was somewhat alarmed. When his daughter was serious, something must have happened. He glanced at Bei Nan, decided to let her off the hook for now, and quickly turned and went inside.
Bei Nan breathed a sigh of relief; the alarm was off. Luckily, Nan Nan was there, otherwise he probably would have been in for a beating today.
After listening to his daughter's words, Yan Xiaoqiang felt a sense of helplessness. Sigh, this is life.
However, my daughter's suggestion to set up a primary school in the village is a good thing, but what about Beinan?
Yan Xiaoqiang went out; he was going to have a chat with the village chief.
Grandma Yan looked at her beloved granddaughter and thought, "This child is kind-hearted after all."
"A seven-pound cotton quilt is enough. They also have a heated kang bed. The cotton-padded coats really need to be thicker, otherwise they won't be able to go out in the dead of winter."
Grandma Yan took out her pipe again. She didn't know if the clothes were good or not, or if they had been padded. She had to take a look.
"Grandma, smoke less. There are unhealthy ingredients in this stuff. I want you to live to be a hundred," Yan Xiaonan said coquettishly.
Grandma Yan smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face. Her own darling was the best, always thinking about how she could live to be a hundred years old.
Yan Xiaonan handed Ye Chenming's ten yuan to her grandmother: "Grandma, Ye Chenming said the money is yours to do with as you please."
Grandma Yan took the money: "Poor thing, charge him 50 cents a pound, and pay him 10 cents a piece."
Yan Xiaonan~ No way.
At the educated youth settlement, Ye Chen'er got up early to wash and air out the quilts, which hadn't been washed for a month and were starting to smell.
Today I'll wash my own clothes, tomorrow I'll wash my cousin's, and all the coats and such need to be washed clean.
I forgot to tell my cousin to buy some soap, so I only have one bar left.
I originally brought three bars of soap, but Li Ping said she didn't bring any, so I gave her one. Now I regret it a little.
There's no going back in this world. After washing her clothes, Ye Chen'er decided to organize her luggage, putting away clothes she didn't want to wear and taking out clothes she wanted to wear.
I had just finished hanging up the clothes and picked up the washbasin to go back inside when Wang Yan and Tian Fang next door started arguing.
"Wang Yan, you're shameless! Why did you use my face cream?" Tian Fang's voice rang out.
"It's just a little face cream, is it really necessary to get so angry? Tian Fang, you're being too petty," Wang Yan said casually.
“Borrowing without permission is stealing, Wang Yan, you’re a thief, I’m going to report you to the village chief.” Tian Fang had been putting up with her for a long time.
Ye Chen'er felt a little uneasy. She usually left her things lying around, but she thought that Li Ping was her neighbor and they had grown up together, so there shouldn't be any problems.
The people from the educated youth settlement came out; they wanted to see what was going on and how the argument had started.
Li Ping, who was inside the house, also heard Tian Fang's words and ran out to Ye Chen'er, saying, "Chen'er, quickly go inside and check if anything is missing. Don't let anyone steal it."
Ye Chen'er smiled at Li Ping. It seemed that Li Ping's temper had passed, which was good, so as to avoid any awkwardness.
I went into the house and opened my bag. The clothes were there, the pants were there, and the underwear, socks, and sewing kit were also there.
He opened another cloth bag, where he hid his money and tickets. He counted the money and found that nothing was missing.
They counted the coupons again and found that they were missing a national grain coupon worth three jin (approximately 1.5 kg) and a cloth coupon worth five chi (approximately 1.5 feet).
The small box on the kang (heated brick bed) was where I kept my cosmetics. The cosmetics consisted of a box of face cream, a comb, a small mirror, and a few hair ties.
I opened the face cream; I had just used it this morning, and there was still half a box left, untouched.
Climb to a corner at the end of the kang (heated brick bed), there is a leather suitcase. Inside the suitcase are some summer clothes and sandals, and in the middle is a small purse.
The small purse contained her New Year's money from childhood to adulthood; it wasn't much, only six or seven yuan.
The suitcase was opened, and the small pouch was also there; no one had touched the contents.
Ye Chen'er ran out: "Li Ping, I'm missing three jin of national grain coupons and five shi of cloth coupons."
Li Ping pulled Ye Chen'er into Wang Yan's room: "Did you steal Ye Chen'er's cloth coupons and national grain coupons?"
Wang Yan was stunned: "Li Ping, don't make false accusations. When did I ever steal Ye Chen'er's grain coupons and cloth coupons?"
"If you can steal Tian Fang's face cream, how could you not steal our things? Everyone, go back and check what you're missing!" Li Ping said righteously.
