Chapter 34 Two Pagers
Song Rui knew a lot about Aunt Jiang's affairs.
She was widowed early and had no proper job. In the past few years, she made a living by selling needles and thread on the black market.
She raised a pair of children and sent them both to college.
People say that two golden phoenixes flew out of a poor family.
But once he flew away, he never came back.
My son and my daughter have settled down in big cities in the south and rarely come back.
The greatest filial piety he showed was to spend money to renovate the house for Aunt Jiang and open this small shop.
After that, it was as if he had bought out all the kindness he had shown in raising his children, and he disappeared without a trace.
In her previous life, after Song Rui and Ling Ye divorced and before being kicked out of the Ling family, Aunt Jiang accidentally fell and broke her bones.
When Song Rui heard people mention her again, she realized that she was dead.
After her bones were broken, her children did not come back, but just sent money.
The older generation does not have the habit of hiring people to serve them, and it is inconvenient for them to move around on their own.
As time goes by, your health will get worse day by day, and you may die in an instant.
Song Rui didn't have much contact with her before, so she felt very sad after hearing what she said.
But now seeing how warm-hearted Aunt Jiang was, Song Rui felt more and more uncomfortable.
Why don’t good people live long, and why do evil things last for thousands of years?
Although she is not a kind person who is willing to sacrifice herself for others, Song Rui thinks it is a good thing if she can change the fate of some good people with some small things.
Seeing that Song Hua had no objection, she rented Aunt Jiang's house for eight dollars a month.
Aunt Jiang’s grocery store is at the corner of the street.
There are two shops on the south side close to the road, one for business and the other for storing goods.
Passing through the middle is a small courtyard.
The two side rooms, one in the east and one in the west, were originally prepared for the children, but they are now empty.
The main room on the north side is where Aunt Jiang lives.
Song Hua lived in the east wing, which was similar to Song Rui's house. She cooked in the outer room and slept in the inner room.
Song Rui also took her to the street and bought some daily necessities and clothes.
Come back, nail a lock on the door, decorate the house a little, and it will be your own little nest.
Song Hua couldn't be more satisfied.
She thought that her bones would be buried in the wilderness and she would never step on black soil again in her life.
Holding Song Rui's hand, Song Hua choked up and said, "Sister, I remember how much I spent. I will pay you back slowly in the future. Just give me some time."
Just as Song Rui was about to say something, Song Hua said, "You must take this money. If you don't, I will become a beast like Song Baohe. I'd rather die than not."
What she hated most were Song Baohe and her parents.
If they hadn't forced her to marry so far away like a commodity for money, how could she have suffered for so many years.
Letting her be with them would be more painful than letting her die.
Song Rui sighed, put her arm around her shoulders and patted them, "I know, I've never been the same as them."
Since childhood, Song Fu has been pretending to be sick and crying.
The work in the fields fell on Qian Ermei, and the work at home became Song Rui's.
Who makes her the eldest sister in the family?
Mowing the lawn, feeding chickens and ducks, cooking, washing clothes, and doing housework.
It's the same thing. It won't kill you, but it will definitely drain all your energy.
Song Baohe is sweet-mouthed and follows behind, saying, "Big sister, you have worked hard. Big sister, you have worked hard."
But the hand did not extend at once.
Only her younger sister would help her with the work silently.
Unfortunately, she had poor nutrition since childhood and her development was not good. Even though the two sisters are only two years apart in age, there is a huge difference in their heights.
So I remembered what my sister looked like when she was a child.
What Song Rui recalled most was that she was so thin and small that she could not even stand steadily, but still helped her with the work.
The straw on his back was so heavy that his head and face could not be seen clearly.
Song Rui held her wrist. Who could have thought that she was still so thin, so thin that it made people feel heartbroken.
"I can pay you back, but you have to get well first. If you don't, I'll have to spend money on your medical treatment, and that would be a losing deal for me."
After hearing this, Song Hua finally laughed.
They went back to Song Rui's house together, and Ling Ye didn't know when he came back.
He took his daughter in his arms and coaxed her, while casually pushing the two boxes towards Song Rui.
When Song Rui took a look, she found that they were actually two pagers.
"Pager? It's very expensive now, right? Did you buy it? Two?"
Ling Ye snorted, "Well, one for me and one for the puppy."
Song Rui said that the gloves she bought before were for her dog.
He learned it too.
Song Rui smiled and stuffed a pager into Nan Nan's arms.
"Okay, I bought it for the puppy."
Ling Ye was so angry and amused by her that he finally complained to Nan Nan helplessly, "Did you hear that, girl? Your mother said you were a puppy."
Nan Nan looked at her father, then at her mother, and finally chose unconditionally to be her mother's good baby.
Pulling her ears with her little hands, she barked twice.
Seeing Ling Ye's helpless and convinced look, Song Rui laughed loudly.
After laughing, she still asked: "Two pagers should cost a lot of money, right? Did you make a lot of money this time?"
"Don't worry, little money-grubber. You and your mother won't be missing out."
Song Rui was satisfied, and she looked at Ling Ye with an especially handsome face.
Song Rui and Song Hua cooked dinner together.
On the first day Song Hua returned to Fengcheng, Song Rui wanted to welcome her.
Lingye was tired from the long journey and needed to eat something good to replenish his body.
She went to the market, bought two pounds of pork tenderloin, cut it thinly, fluffed it with the back of a knife, then coated it with soaked starch and fried it until golden brown.
Fry the sweet and sour sauce in another pot, pour the fried meat into the pot, and the aroma will immediately spread far away.
"Sweet and sour pork! It's sweet and sour pork!"
Nan Nan was playing outside. When she smelled the fragrance, she immediately knew what the dish was.
The saliva almost fell to the ground.
Ling Xiaodan and Ling Xiaojun, who had just returned from school, had just walked in. They had no idea what had happened this afternoon. When they smelled something, Ling Xiaojun started clamoring for food again.
Ling Xiaodan deliberately made a ferocious expression and used threats to scare Nan Nan into stealing the sweet and sour pork.
Nan Nan remembered what her mother said last time. She immediately put her hands on her waist, wrinkled her nose, and cursed: "You are a bad person! You have no shame!"
Ling Xiaodan was stunned by the scolding and her face immediately turned gloomy.
She was about to take action, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Song Rui coming out of the house and looking over here. She quickly took two steps back and pulled Ling Xiaojun back into the house.
Song Rui was still holding a shovel in her hand.
She heard Nan Nan's voice while cooking and came out to see what was going on.
Come to think of it, it seemed like this was the first time in her two lifetimes that she heard Nan Nan swearing.
But at this moment, she actually felt a little happy.
Nan Nan will refuse and fight back, which is a good thing.
This shows that the changes she has undergone during this period have really affected Nan Nan.
She will no longer be the poor little girl who was submissive in her previous life. She has her own temper.
But besides being happy, she was also a little worried.
Looking at Ling Xiaodan's expression just now, she was almost about to take action.
Nan Nan is six years younger than Ling Xiaodan and four years younger than Ling Xiaojun.
If you start fighting, you will definitely suffer losses.
After thinking about it, Song Rui felt that she should take Nan Nan to the martial arts gym tomorrow.
