Chapter 36
Chen Qingyi spit out a chicken bone delicately. "It's almost done, about 1,650 yuan!"
She didn't know how much her scumbag dad charged for the bicycle.
"How many?"
"What?"
"Really?
Except for Chen Qingbai, everyone else was shocked.
His eyes were as big as copper bells.
Zhao Xiangmei felt embarrassed because she had clearly told her daughter that she wanted five hundred.
This includes building a house and the betrothal money for the eldest and second sons.
I pinched my flesh hard, but it didn't hurt. It seemed like I was just hallucinating. I felt very disappointed!
"Oh, Mom, why are you pinching me?" Chen Qingfeng felt aggrieved and hugged his chubby self.
Zhao Xiangmei's eyes lit up. She wasn't hallucinating. She pushed her son aside and asked her daughter, "Did your father give it to you?"
"Why wouldn't he give it to me?"
Chen Qingyi found another chicken wing. She liked to eat chicken with bones and brain.
"We are his biological children, so it is his responsibility to raise us.
I should have asked him for it a long time ago. Why does he keep so many secret stashes of money?
Men become bad when they have money."
She decided to take precautions first. Chen Qingbai's eyes flashed and he looked at Chen Qingyi deeply.
Chen Qingfeng immediately forgot about his grievances and was very excited: "Sister, you're right! My dad is an old man, why would he have so much money in his pocket?
Just save a few cents to buy a pair of shorts.
I can’t spend the extra money in the army, so I give it to my sister for safekeeping.”
He won't turn bad.
Chen Qingsong laughed and said, "I don't have a penny in my pocket. It's cleaner than my face."
Zhao Xiangmei: Is this worthy of praise?
I don't want to bother with these two poorer sons, but after thinking about what my daughter said, I think it makes sense.
No longer entangled, continue to ask:
"Do you want tickets?"
"Yes, industrial coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, cotton coupons, etc.
By the way, my dad said that we have suffered a lot over the years, so he bought me a watch.
I bought a radio for my mother.
I even mailed bicycle tickets to my brothers!!!" Every time Chen Qingyi said something, their mouths opened wider.
This time, even the calmest Chen Qingbai put down his chopsticks.
"Xiaoyi, did Dad really give it to you?"
It can’t really be…
“I told him that Dahua was making fun of me for not having a father, and only after I burst into tears did he agree.
Maybe he has a change of heart!"
She wouldn't cover it up for him, it wasn't worth it.
The three brothers were about to feel distressed when they felt something was wrong "......!!"
Dahua?? Who is it?
Zhao Xiangmei didn't notice, and suddenly got angry, slamming the table fiercely:
"Whose rotten-mouthed bastard said that? Xiaoyi, tell me and I'll rip their mouths off."
He hugged his daughter distressedly and said, "They are jealous of you. Your dad has no choice."
Sometimes when she is tired, she will complain quietly in her heart.
Especially when the child was sick and making trouble when he was young, but the mother-in-law just turned a blind eye and ignored him.
If it weren't for my mother's help...
Thinking of this, my eyes turned red.
Chen Qingyi: “…” Oh no, she’d acted too pitifully, and looked at her three brothers for help.
Chen Qingbai wiped his face and asked, "Is there anyone named Dahua in our village?"
Chen Qingfeng: "No! I'm sure!"
Chen Qingbai said in a deep voice, "The cow that our grandfather feeds was named Dahua by Xiaoyi."
Zhao Xiangmei: ...
The sad mood I was feeling just disappeared like that.
This girl is heartless every day.
Chen Qingyi smiled ingratiatingly, and then began to describe the situation vividly, even talking and gesturing.
When he talked about the highlight of that day, everyone was stunned and even forgot to eat the meat.
“My acting that day was the pinnacle of my fifteen years of life!
There was an old lady whose handkerchief was wet with tears.
But I really miss my dad a little bit." When he said this, his face was full of disappointment, and the next second:
"So I decided that since the brigade is not busy before the New Year this year, I'm going to go to Yun Province!!"
The family: “……!!” Stunned!
"I even hit someone today!"
“…???”
“It was such a great fight!!”
Perhaps because what Chen Qingyi said was too explosive, Zhao Xiangmei tossed and turned on the kang for a long time before falling asleep.
Seeing that she was asleep, Chen Qingyi slipped into the space.
He gulped down a big mouthful of spiritual spring water before running to the study to read.
Whenever you encounter something you don’t understand, ask the mirror.
I don't know what kind of mirror this is, but I know quite a lot.
Mirror: "Pretty Xiaoyi, your climate isn't very suitable for growing wheat.
Even if it is improved, the yield will not be very high."
"I think so."
Chen Qingyi closed the book, her eyes shining like stars, "This book is indeed from Shennong, it covers crops, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, etc.
As long as it is famous, there are detailed records.
But you have to eat one bite at a time and do things bit by bit.
So I decided to grow corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the farm first.
All three are highly productive.”
First solve the problem of food and clothing, then eat well later.
It's called cultivation, but in fact it's just watering with spiritual spring water. Too much is not allowed, as she is afraid that it will grow into a giant one.
Too little is not good either. What’s the point of working hard if there is not much increase in production?
"Mirror, please keep a record after I pour water!"
Mirror: OK.
Chen Qingyi personally planted the seeds in the experimental field and watered them with different amounts of water.
Mirror was puzzled: "Why do you have to do it yourself when you can just think about it?"
"I'm afraid I won't get too much of my merit."
Chen Qingyi stuck her butt out and grunted as she pressed potato pieces into the soil.
It’s not a lot of land, not even as big as the vegetable garden at home, so it’s not tiring.
The mirror distorted: ...!! This guy is really smart.
After finishing the work, Chen Qingyi took a quick shower, slipped out of the space, and fell asleep in seconds.
…
The next morning, a ray of bright sunshine shone into the house and the rooster began to crow.
Accompanied by the curling smoke from the cooking stove, Chen Qingyi opened her eyes hazily.
"Mom, what time is it?"
Still a little sleepy, his voice was soft and sticky.
"Half past five!" Zhao Xiangmei, who was combing her hair, gave her daughter a sweet breath of praise.
"Sleep a little longer."
The big rooster in Old Wu's house next door crows so loudly that it even woke up her daughter.
"No."
Chen Qingyi coquettishly hugged her mother's neck for a while, "We are building a house today, so I got up early to see if I can help."
"Okay." Zhao Xiangmei pulled her precious daughter up like pulling a carrot.
Building a house by yourself, being lazy makes people talk about you, "Then you can cook with your third aunt.
Make some mung bean soup at noon."
The brigade built houses without any wages, so family members and acquaintances helped.
She has to be there so that she can find what she needs quickly.
"How many people?"
Zhao Xiangmei braided her hair neatly and said, "Your grandpa, your eldest uncle, and your second uncle.
Jianjun and his brothers can all come.
There are also your grandfather and his family, plus the three young men from your aunt Chun's family.
The captain's house, Aunt Yun's house..."
Chen Qingyi picked at her fingers.
My grandfather's family is also very prosperous.
My eldest uncle, Zhao Chuanjia, has two sons and two daughters. My brother Jianjun is the eldest and they are both married with children.
Grandma and grandpa are living in their old age at my uncle's house.
My second uncle, Zhao Chuanwen, had three sons.
Because I don’t have a daughter, I love her very much.
