Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Wayward Parents
While Zhao Ruyue was busy in the store, the pager next to her rang.
She took a look and saw that the caller ID was Ye Jing. She simply hung up the phone and added Ye Jing to her blacklist.
When I went to the restaurant to have lunch with Ning Shaoming at noon, Ning Shaoming told me that Ye Jing called him in the morning but he didn't answer.
Zhao Ruyue then realized that Ye Jing had also called him, and it seemed to be something important.
"Did they hear about Zheng Junsheng's 'one room for one room' thing in town, and they thought it was profitable and wanted to make trouble?"
Ning Shaoming guessed the same as Zhao Ruyue, so he didn't answer Ye Jing's call: "I put her and Ning Shaode's phone numbers on the blacklist."
"Me too."
"We have such a good understanding."
It was not until the afternoon when they returned to town to pick up their two children from school that they heard Ning Shichun talk about it and learned that Ye Jing had also called the store and the old house.
Ning Shichun was too honest. When he answered the phone, Ye Jing was not talking about the "one room for one room" incident in the town, but that Ning Laoer was sick, with the same disease as Huang Xiuhua, and was now hospitalized in the county hospital.
"Second Aunt said that Danjie is still young and needs someone to take care of her. Both the big and the small need someone to take care of them. She is too busy over there, so she wanted to ask if there is anyone here who is free to go and help." Ning Shichun thought that when Ye Jing asked about the people on his side, she was referring only to his family.
So he still answered very honestly: "I told my second aunt that the business in town is busy, and I have to work and take care of the new cook who was just hired in the store, so I can't spare the time. Moreover, I didn't ask for leave in advance, so I can't be absent from work casually.
Everyone else in my family was busy. Danping had to go to school and my mother went to work in the fields. I couldn't contact my mother when she was working in the fields. My grandfather also had to take care of my grandmother, so no one had time to go.
If my grandmother wasn't as sick as she is now, it is possible that she would ignore everything and go straight to take care of my second uncle. ”
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help laughing. Ye Jing was directly stabbed in the heart by the honest man. Could this be considered as being too clever for one's own good? .
She tried to play tricks on an honest person, but he didn't understand the implication of her words at all. After hearing those words, Ye Jing might have thought that Ning Shichun was mocking her and Ning Shaode, especially the last sentence.
Ye Jing actually wanted to hint to them through Ning Shichun, asking them to take the initiative to play the role of mutual assistance among brothers and sisters, to visit, to help, and to contribute money and effort.
But it was only at this time that Ye Jing took a serious look at the relatives here, and realized that they were of no use anymore, as they had all been offended by her and Ning Shaode.
The couple needs help now, and they know to look for people here, but why don’t they go to her family?
"She hung up the phone right after I finished speaking. Aunt San, did I say something wrong?" After the call was hung up, Ning Shichun thought over and over again about what he had said. He felt that he had told the truth and there should be nothing wrong with him.
Zhao Ruyue said: "It's okay, don't worry about her."
Ning Shaode's illness doesn't mean that everything he did in the past can be written off and no one can care about it.
Zhao Ruyue thought that if he really died, she would be willing to burn some incense and have a few meals for him.
In order to prevent the younger generation like Ning Shichun from not understanding the current relationship between the elders and falling into Ye Jing's trap one day.
Ning Shaoming told him directly: "Don't answer her call next time. If she comes to you directly, just say you don't understand anything.
Even if she asks you to tell us something, don't agree. Your second uncle's family and I have completely fallen out. From now on, I will no longer have any contact with them except when there is a funeral for an elder at home. ”
Ning Shichun indeed showed a surprised expression. He really didn't know that the relationship between the elders in his family had developed to this extent.
Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue understood why he had that expression.
During the time when his grandmother was sick, he was not needed to take care of her. He was only allowed to visit her once on the first day she was admitted to the hospital, and two or three times during her hospitalization.
In the past, he saw other families in the town where, after conflicts between brothers and sisters, even if they cursed at each other behind their backs, they would still pretend nothing happened when they met and continue to interact with each other to maintain superficial harmony, just like when their family had not yet split up. Ning Shichun had seen that kind of situation many times at home.
But as soon as Ning Shaoming said it, he understood it and didn't ask why. He just did what his elders said.
"Uncle San, I'll remember this. I will stay away from them in the future." Ning Shichun is just an honest man, not a fool. He knows clearly which side to stand on and doesn't need to think too much.
After all, his second uncle and second aunt had always looked down on his family, and he didn't have much affection for his second uncle, unlike his third uncle, who often took him out to play when he was a child.
"By the way," Ning Shaoming reminded him again, "Tell your mother and don't let your grandfather know about this."
Ning Shaoming knew that even though his father was very angry about what Ning Shaode had done, he was his biological son after all. After a long time, if Ning Shaode became so sick that he looked miserable, the old man would inevitably think of his child's good past and feel soft-hearted.
His mother is in this condition now, and someone needs to watch her all the time. His father can hardly go out. If no one goes to tell him specifically, he won't know about this.
Ning Shaoming went to cook after he finished speaking. Zhao Ruyue went to pick up the two children. On her way back, she met Ning Meiting who was walking hurriedly towards her home.
Zhao Ruyue called her, and Ning Meiting saw her and walked towards her: "It's a good thing that I met you here. I don't have to continue walking towards your house. There is something I need to tell you."
Zhao Ruyue guessed: "Did your second sister-in-law call you?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Ning Meiting slapped her forehead after asking, "Look at my brain, she must have called you too, what do you think? Go and have a look?"
"Shao Ming said he won't go. From now on, the affairs of the second brother's family have nothing to do with him. He doesn't care. I listen to him. Are you going, elder sister?"
Ning Meiting was also very conflicted, otherwise she would have contacted Ning Shaoming immediately after receiving Ye Jing's call.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ning Meiting's feelings towards Ning Shaode are also complicated.
In the past, she always heard her mother say that her second brother would be the most promising person in the family in the future, and asked her to be nicer to her second brother. When her second brother became successful in the future, her in-laws would never dare to look down on her or bully her with her second brother around.
Later, things turned out not to be like this. After my second brother finished his studies, he got a job and had a stable job. From the perspective of the older generation, he should be considered to have made it and had a promising future, right?
But she was never able to rely on her second brother at all, and for a long time, she was looked down upon by her husband's family because she helped her mother's family.
That is, starting from the year when the third brother came back from work, her third brother and his wife gave her a lot of things to take back to her husband's home during the Chinese New Year, and also gave her two children a lot of New Year's money, which made her proud in front of her husband's family. Later, her third brother and his wife did well in business, and she was able to stand up straight in her husband's home.
But after hearing those words from Ning Meiting's mother for so many years, she inevitably had an impact on her, and she formed a belief that if she was not nice to her second son, and did not help or even visit him when he got into trouble, she would feel guilty.
Ning Meiting knows herself well. If the second child had not been too harsh on her mother before, now that she received the call for help from her second brother's wife, she might have really taken turns with him to take care of the second child.
Zhao Ruyue saw that Ning Meiting was so conflicted, but she didn't know how to express her own thoughts.
She couldn't give Ning Meiting any advice or suggestions. It all depended on what Ning Meiting wanted to do.
Whether Ning Meiting goes to visit Ning Shaode or not, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming will not say much.
After all, the eldest sister is the eldest sister, and Ning Shaode is Ning Shaode. The eldest sister has never done anything bad. Instead, she has helped them.
They are not children anymore. They will not break off their relationship with a person just because that person, who has never done anything wrong to them, continues to associate with someone they don't like.
Ning Meiting struggled for a whole day and finally decided not to go. She just asked someone to help bring three hundred yuan to Ye Jing.
As a result, not long after the money was sent over, she heard that people from Ye Jing's family were gossiping about her, and saying that Ye Jing disliked the little money she gave her, and that she was treating her like a beggar, and that she was stingy with the money, and she didn't even help out, saying that this was her own sister.
Ye Jing's family members didn't dare to say anything about Ning Shaoming and others who also didn't visit her and didn't give her a penny. Of course, it is possible that they did say something, but others didn't tell her.
But just knowing that she was being bullied made Ning Meiting very angry.
The next day after hearing the gossip, Ning Meiting rushed straight to the hospital, scolded Ye Jing, spit in Ye Jing's face, and demanded the three hundred yuan back. At the same time, she decided not to visit this relative anymore.
However, her escape also let Zhao Ruyue know Ning Shaode's current situation.
Ning Shaode was sent to the hospital quickly and the rescue was not delayed, so his condition is much better than Huang Xiuhua's.
He just speaks a little vaguely and slowly, and his brain reacts more slowly. Sometimes he asks the same thing once and then asks it again after a while.
If you haven't seen what kind of person he was before and don't observe carefully, you might not be able to tell.
The biggest impact of Ning Shaode's illness on Zhao Ruyue's family is that she pays more attention to the health of her family members.
Especially for Ning Shaoming, she is more worried about his health now than when the physical examination results came out at the end of last year.
Although Huang Xiuhua's disease is not hereditary, some of the symptoms that cause the disease, such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids, are hereditary, and the risk of developing the disease is higher than for people whose parents do not have high blood pressure and high blood lipids.
Ning Shaode used to eat too much because of Huang Xiuhua's favoritism. Both he and his wife were very fat and overweight, and they were proud of it. In addition, Ning Shaode was narrow-minded, jealous, and emotionally unstable, which led to the current problems. Zhao Ruyue was not surprised at all.
He also had a cerebral infarction in his previous life, but not at this time, but when he was in his fifties.
Ning Shaoming is not fat and his mood is usually stable, but he was too tired in his previous life.
In order to earn more money, I went to work at a food stall, working from afternoon to early morning every day.
When he got off work, it was almost time for the breakfast shop to start preparing breakfast, so he worked part-time in a breakfast shop he passed by on his way home from get off work, helping them make buns.
The reversed day and night schedule and the fatigue over the years made his body unable to bear it and he also suffered from this disease.
It's just that they were all busy at that time and their working hours were staggered, so even though they lived together, they hardly saw each other every day.
No one noticed when he had an attack. When Zhao Ruyue received a call from the food stall owner asking her why Ning Shaoming didn't go to work, she rushed back to the rental house to check, but he had already passed away quietly.
So Zhao Ruyue was afraid that something like that would happen again, so she kept the strictest control over him.
She would rather earn less and let him recruit more apprentices, bring them up, and pay them more so that Ning Shaoming can have an easier time.
Fortunately, both of them were willing to fight and be beaten. Ning Shaoming did not feel uncomfortable or without freedom being controlled, so he was happy to let his wife control him.
Although Ning Shaode's condition was much better than Huang Xiuhua's, he was unable to continue his classes after being discharged from the hospital.
Because of his physical condition, he is not allowed to teach anymore. And if the disease relapses once, it will recur a second time, a third time...
It’s just that everyone’s physique, daily maintenance, work and rest habits, etc. are different. Because of these conditions, the time interval between recurrences will be different.
So Ning Shaode's unit very humanely transferred him to a relatively easy position in school logistics.
This position may be a good one for people who are not short of money and just want a job to pass the time.
But for Ye Jing and Ning Shaode, being transferred to a sinecure was like a bolt from the blue.
If you cannot teach on the front line, first of all, you will definitely not get any teaching fees, and your performance will be even lower, and it will be difficult to be evaluated for a higher professional title.
My career is almost stagnant and I can only stay in that position until I retire. The salary and benefits are nothing compared to before.
They had just bought the house and had not had time to decorate it.
Now all the pressure of paying the mortgage fell on Ye Jing.
Ye Jing felt like the sky was falling and the pressure was greater than ever before.
At the same time, good news continued to come from the town.
In the mountains near a village on the other side of the river in Rongxi Town, a place called the Big Funnel by the villagers has been confirmed to be a tiankeng landform.
The scenery below the tiankeng is mysterious and dangerous, like an underground primeval forest world in a fairy tale. It is shocking and shows the wonders of nature.
The city plans to develop the tiankeng into a scenic spot.
Zhao Ruyue remembered this incident, it happened in her previous life.
But it had nothing to do with their Rongxi Town, because in the previous life the county had built a road directly from the county seat to that village.
However, even if the road is built, the distance from the county town to the village is still quite far, and it takes about an hour and a half to drive there.
It takes nearly an hour to drive from the village to the Tiankeng Scenic Area. The road from the county town to the village is okay, but the road from the village to the scenic area is not so good.
This section of road is in the mountainous area, and there are occasional falling rocks. The mountain road is also winding. In the past few years, heavy rains have caused mudslides, and the road to the scenic area was cut off. The scenic area had to stop accepting tourists and clear the road first, which delayed a lot of things.
But this matter is different in this life, and this time it even involves their Rongxi Town.
It is said that the plan is to build Rongxi Town into an ancient, quaint and simple tourist town, linking it with the tiankeng on the opposite bank to increase the attractiveness and playability of the scenic area.
Their houses and the indigenous people themselves will become attractions in the ancient town and part of the scenic area in the future.
The village collective cooperates with the development company to develop the scenic area. The indigenous people invest in the site, that is, in the house, and will receive dividends every year in the future.
They cooperate with the scenic spot, dress and behave accordingly, which is considered a job and they can earn an income, and they may even have social security paid for them.
As for the specific situation, it will have to be decided after a meeting.
Zhao Ruyue thought about the new location of the train station and secretly wondered if these changes were related to the fact that the new location was closer to the town.
If tourists from other places come by train, once the road in the town is repaired, it will take less than 20 minutes for tourists to reach the town after leaving the train station.
Once you get to the town, go to the pier and take a boat. It will take less than ten minutes to reach the village on the other side, so it takes much less time.
You can also take a boat to enjoy the scenery on the river and on both sides of the river. The scenery of the river in Rongxi Town is quite nice.
In this way, tourists will have one more activity to enjoy, and can continue to expand some other activities, such as fishing, eating freshly caught river food, taking a boat to the upstream to see the waterfall, fishing in shallow water areas, paddling bamboo rafts, and other small fishing activities.
When it comes to investing in the site, many people realized that Zheng Junsheng had probably received the news long ago, which was why he bought and changed houses in the town before, and he would get more dividends in the future.
Or it is possible that he has participated in the scenic area development project, trying to improve his voice in two ways.
At that time, the people who sold the house to him or exchanged it with him thought they had got a good deal, and now I don’t know if they regret it.
Anyway, Ye Jing almost fainted when she heard the news. She didn't dare to tell Ning Shaode, otherwise Ning Shaode's illness would probably relapse for the second time.
However, although developing these streets in the small town into tourist attractions sounds like a very promising prospect, it is not easy to do.
When more people participate in a meeting, a variety of ideas and opinions are inevitable.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming received four notices within just one week, asking their families to send someone to attend meetings.
The captain of their team notified every household one by one until his voice was hoarse. He sat in their store and drank several cups of water soaked in Sterculia lychnophora. He took a moment to remind them again: "Tomorrow morning at 8:30, don't be late. This is a big event in our town. If you get it done, we will all benefit in the future!"
"I know," Ning Shaoming picked up the teapot again, "Uncle, do you want another drink?"
"No more drinking. I have to move on to the next one. There are still several families that have not been notified. I have to make sure that every household is notified."
Watching the captain walk away, Zhao Ruyue said to Ning Shaoming, "You should go this time. I won't go. The county post office has relented and promised to deliver all packages with my store address to my store every day. The phone recharge service has also been approved. I have to train the new staff as soon as possible in the next few days and promote these new services."
Especially for online shopping, not many people understand this now, so she has to print some flyers and ask employees to distribute them at the gate of the industrial zone opposite.
We also put some in the three shops and give one to each customer. We can also ask Lin Lili for help and distribute them in the barber shop she manages and her boyfriend's Internet cafe.
For the phone recharge service, she also needs to put a sign on the counter and print a few posters and stick them at the door to let people know that she can also recharge phone bills on their behalf.
Zhao Ruyue was busy until the end of the month, and the demolition payment finally came.
Their three-story house of more than 200 square meters, plus the yard, contract signing bonus and some miscellaneous expenses, added up to just shy of one million yuan.
After receiving the money, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming no longer paid attention to the various meetings in the town that never ended and never came to a conclusion.
On April 30th, as soon as the children got out of school in the afternoon, I took them directly to the county town and took the train to Yangcheng.
Those who heard the news and tried to build relationships with them or borrow money were left empty-handed.
Ning Shixia was very happy to take a train for the first time, but it was a holiday and there were many people on the train. She couldn't walk around and could only stay in the sleeper car, touching here and looking there out of curiosity.
When going out, Zhao Ruyue was worried about human traffickers, so she didn't dare let her guard down and kept a close eye on her.
When Ning Shixia found out that her mother was very worried about her, she obediently climbed to the upper bunk and played the video game with her brother.
Zhao Ruyue bought the Tetris game console specially because she was afraid they would be bored. This game console is relatively simple and cheaper.
She thought that when she got to Guangzhou, which was closer to the port city and had a wider variety of electronic products, she could buy better ones for them.
Zhao Ruyue called Fan Xiaorong before getting on the train, but it rained heavily during the journey and the train stopped for a while before it started again. This train would definitely be late.
Zhao Ruyue calculated the arrival time and estimated it would be late at night, so she had no choice but to call Fan Xiaorong and ask her not to come to pick her up yet, as it was not safe for her to go out alone at night.
However, the call was made too early, as they encountered two trains meeting each other on the way, and their train had to stop temporarily to give way.
I thought we would arrive in the middle of the night, but when we arrived in Guangzhou, it was already six in the morning.
As soon as you exit the station, you’ll see breakfast stalls with steam rising from them in the square in front of the station.
Unfortunately, the fatigue from the second half of the journey left the family with no appetite. Zhao Ruyue sent a text message to Fan Xiaorong and planned to find a taxi to the hotel first.
After Zhao Ruyue sent the text message, her phone rang before she even reached the taxi queue.
The caller ID shows Fan Xiaorong.
Zhao Ruyue pressed the answer button and asked in surprise: "Xiao Rong, I thought you were still asleep. Did my text message wake you up?"
"No, I got up at around five o'clock. I just parked the car here when I received your text message. Sister, you guys go to the parking lot. I borrowed a car from a friend."
Zhao Ruyue took her family to the parking lot. When they arrived at the entrance of the parking lot, they saw Fan Xiaorong leaning out of the car window and waving at them.
Seeing Fan Xiaorong sitting in the driver's seat, Zhao Ruyue was shocked: "Xiaorong, you have learned to drive!"
She thought that Fan Xiaorong asked a friend for help and came with her to pick someone up.
"Yes! I need to run business, so it's more convenient to drive. Whether it's a business trip or business in the city, I can take turns driving with my colleagues. But I can't afford a car for the time being."
"That's great. I also want to learn it, but I've been hesitant."
Fan Xiaorong strongly suggested that she learn: "I think it's good to get a driver's license. It can be regarded as a skill. When you buy a car in the future, you can step on the accelerator and go wherever you want. That feeling of freedom, oh, I am not well educated, I don't know how to describe it, anyway, it's very cool!"
Zhao Ruyue looked at Ning Shaoming and said, "Then when we return to Yunshan County, shall we go and learn together?"
In fact, if they want to buy a car, they can afford it, but she thinks it is not cost-effective to buy a car now, so it is better to buy a house first.
There are very few men who don't love cars. Ning Shaoming has long been eager to learn how to drive. He nodded and said, "We'll sign up when we get back, and then we'll learn and take the test together."
As they were chatting, they arrived at the hotel. They settled down in the hotel, had a simple meal, washed up and then went to rest.
Banks and government departments were closed during the Labor Day holiday, so they were unable to complete any formalities. They stayed in Guangzhou for a few days.
Originally, the two children were supposed to go to school on the 8th, but since other schools were not going to go back to work until the 8th, Zhao Ruyue asked for a few more days off for the children.
When she and Fan Xiaorong went to handle the formalities, she asked Ning Shaoming to play with them.
If we count from the 1st, their vacation will last almost two weeks.
In fact, Zhao Ruyue could also choose to let the child stay at home and let Ning Shichun and Sun Jiajia help take care of the child for a few days.
She could come by herself, or she and Ning Shaoming could choose a weekday, come to Yangcheng together to get things done, and go back as soon as possible.
But Zhao Ruyue thought that even if her child missed a few days of classes, it wouldn't affect his studies, and his grades wouldn't drop.
So I took them out to be willful for a while and let the two children have a great time.
When she went to ask for leave for her child, Ning Shiqiu's new class teacher was stunned.
He has met many difficult parents, but this is the first time he has met a parent who asks for leave for his children just to take the children out to play!
Zhao Ruyue was already at this age, but she was treated like a primary school student again and was severely criticized by her primary school teacher.
Fortunately, due to her insistence, the teacher approved her leave.
