Chapter 112
On the second day of the New Year, I went to my mother's house as usual.
Jian Li finished a big bowl of fried lotus root in the morning. Maybe it was too greasy, she felt nauseous halfway through the bus ride.
Jian Feng patted Jian Li on the back and Wang Mengmei poured her some water. They finally reached their destination, but Jian Li still felt uncomfortable after getting off the car.
Wang Shuai was waiting for someone at the village entrance with his eyes wide open. When he saw Jian Li, he was about to rush over, but Jian Li pushed him away.
If Wang Shuai were to press her, she would definitely vomit!
Wang Shuai followed her with a wronged look on his face. When he heard Wang Mengmei say that Jian Li was carsick, he quickly came over to take the things from Jian Li's hand and said, "Sister, I'll carry your backpack for you. You take a rest!"
Wang Mengmei said with relief: "Little Shuai is really sensible now."
Who can still recognize this person as the original naughty boy?
"Where's your dad?"
Wang Shuai: "My father went to the paper mill to buy meat."
Wang Yuedong got up early just to buy a piece of fresh black pork.
Wang Mengmei and her group, along with Wang Yuedong, walked in one after the other. The yard was already bustling with activity.
Wang Yuexi's family and Wang Menglan's family were all sitting in the yard.
Wang Mengmei was stunned for a moment. Thinking about it, there were few times in recent years when they were all together. Last year, Wang Yuexi and his wife didn't come. The year before, the money didn't come. This year, no one was left out.
Zhao Chunlan sat in the middle, reviewing the gifts brought by her daughters like an old lady.
Wang Menglan brought some supplements and a woolen coat, which Zhao Chunlan couldn't put down.
"So soft."
Qian Jinlai said proudly: "This was bought by our Ping Ping from the capital!"
The training course organized by Qian Ping and his classmates is very successful. He has been very busy during this winter vacation. He just got home yesterday and said he couldn't stay for a few days and had to leave the day after tomorrow.
Qian Ping saved part of the money she earned and used the rest for traveling. This year alone, she went to many places with her classmates.
I went to the capital last month and bought three coats at a cashmere fair.
Qian Jinlai originally thought that he would not get any, but who knew that when these three pieces were taken out, there was one dark red, one brown, and one gray piece that was obviously for men.
Qian Jinlai's heart was pounding as he listened to his daughter distributing clothes to Wang Menglan. She gave the brown color to Wang Menglan. This color looked a bit earthy, but it matched her skin tone very well when she wore it. Wang Menglan loved it.
The other one was dark red, and Qian Ping said it was for Zhao Chunlan.
"Aren't you going to buy clothes for my grandma? No need to buy any, just this one."
There was one item left, and Qian Ping handed the money over: "Dad, this is for you."
There was nothing else to say, but I was so happy about the money that I lost my mind.
He put on the clothes and waved them vigorously in front of Wang Menglan: "Looks good, doesn't it? Doesn't it look very good? My daughter has good taste, this dress suits me!"
Wang Menglan: …
What a big head ghost!
Qian Jinlai has a rough look, and the coat he wears looks like it was stolen.
But money was not enough, so she had to wear beautiful clothes and arrange dinner parties for three consecutive days. She had one meal with her brothers, one with her friends, and one with her workers.
"Have you seen this dress? My girlfriend bought it for me!"
"Be careful when you drink! Don't pour it on me!"
"Hey, hey, hey, let me take off my clothes first."
Qian Jinlai's brothers were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. In the past, they had only made fun of Qian Jinlai for having a daughter who was a bankrupt. But now, just because Qian Jinlai put on new clothes, they made fun of their son for not living up to his expectations.
Qian Jinlai wanted to show off in his new clothes, but he didn't dare to show off too much for fear that the clothes would get dirty because he still needed to wear them during the New Year.
Wang Menglan just thought that this man was stupid. Wouldn’t it be cold during the New Year with his shirt open?
Qian Jinlai showed through his actions that he is not afraid of the cold!
Even though the temperature was several degrees below zero, he came wearing a cashmere coat.
He was so cold that he kept sniffing his nose, and he even wanted to blow his girlfriend.
"I bought this coat in the capital! It's so expensive!"
Qian Ping felt embarrassed when she heard this. Actually, she didn’t say that she bought two cheap coats out of three just to make up for the discount…
Among them, the one belonging to Wang Menglan is the most expensive, while the other two are only a quarter of the price.
Qian Jinlai was so happy that he was snotting. Zhao Chunlan liked the coat even more, but the weather was too cold to wear it.
She reluctantly put down her clothes and looked at the things Wang Mengmei brought.
This year, Wang Mengmei bought the old lady a down vest that can be worn inside the body.
If it was a normal purchase, Zhao Chunlan might be happy, but with Wang Menglan's coat in front of her, she no longer liked it.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words: "Now that you two have left your posts, if you really can't do anything else, just go and have sex with your sister."
Wang Mengmei had learned her lesson after Zhao Chunlan suggested that her brother take over her business. She never told the old lady anything, whether on the phone or in person.
So Zhao Chunlan thought that Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng didn't make much money, so they were not very enthusiastic that day.
Wang Mengmei and her sister looked at each other and both found it funny.
Thinking back, they were so stupid before. The old lady picked the one between them a few years ago, and they took it seriously.
Wang Mengmei had a hard time at that time, and she had to spend a lot of money to buy expensive things every year to save face when she went home. Wang Menglan was very busy, but she would also take time to pick things for the old lady.
Both sisters felt aggrieved.
Now I think it's no use. After buying so many things, I don't see Zhao Chunlan really caring about any of her daughters. The old lady changes her attitude at any time, and she knows everything in her heart. Once a daughter is married, she is an outsider, no matter how good she is, she will not get any sincerity from her.
After giving the gifts, the group sat down and started talking about this and that.
Talking about Qian Ping's college life, Jian Li went to the provincial experimental school, Wang Yunyun won an award for her submission, and there was also Wang Shuai.
Under her sister's encouragement, Wang Shuai's grades finally improved. Although her grades now are not very good, she still has hope of going to high school.
Wang Yuedong was already very satisfied with this. To be more precise, as long as General Wang did not cause trouble, he would be satisfied.
Although Wang Yunyun went to school in the past six months, her sister's prestige was still there. Wang Shuai was beaten several times and finally got used to the fact that she had to study hard even when her sister was not at home.
Except for the times when he couldn't help but go to Teng Teng to sell small things with Heidan, Wang Shuai was honest at other times.
Sometimes the power of role models is so strange. In the past, if no one in the family went to college, people would not pay attention to their children's grades. After all, studying is for yourself, and whether you can study well or not is all up to fate.
But with Qian Ping as an example, several families are now determined to raise their children.
Sun Cuifang looked at Qian Ping with envy. She didn't notice it before, but it was especially obvious in the past two years. Qian Ping looked different.
She used to be a timid little girl, but now she is bold and confident, speaking and doing things with style.
After returning from the capital, Qian Ping was more optimistic about the prospects of the training class.
"The cram schools in the capital are very detailed. There are institutions that specialize in English tutoring."
She also visited one of the institutions, which was located in Zhongguancun. The teacher was tall and thin and wore glasses. The trial class she gave was interesting and fascinating.
Qian Ping gave his second uncle and aunt a sincere suggestion: "Nowadays, more people are taking math classes, and the tuition is very high."
Qian Ping wanted to let his second uncle and aunt step out to have a look. Although being a full-time teacher is very stable, it is more profitable to step out and do training!
Especially my second uncle, although he sounds a bit sour, he is still a very good lecturer.
But just as Qian Ping made his move, he was retorted by his second aunt Li Xia.
"We don't dare to take extra classes if we don't want to do it. What if we are fired?"
Qian Ping simply kept silent.
Wang Yuexi also helped his wife: "That's right, Pingping, you are in college now, you should focus more on your professional courses and stop wasting time on these crooked things."
Li Xia took the opportunity to say, "That's right. It's not easy to get into a good school. As I said, you must seize the time to see if there are any boys from wealthy families. It would be best to seize the opportunity to get married right after graduation..."
Wang Menglan was unhappy: "Pingping is still young and hasn't found a job yet, so there's no need to worry."
Money follows the pace of my wife: "That's right!"
Li Xia said bitterly, "If you act too late, you won't get any benefits. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Qian Ping asked calmly, "Then Second Aunt should focus on Chengcai, boys and girls are the same."
I thought this neither soft nor harsh reply would make Li Xia angry, but unexpectedly, Li Xia was actually delighted.
"That's what I mean! I don't need to worry about our success. We have already found it ourselves!"
"Oh, you don't know, that girl's family is very rich!"
Jian Li was sucking jelly nearby, thinking to herself, I finally understand why my second uncle and his family didn't come because of a quarrel. It turns out they just wanted to show off Wang Chengcai's girlfriend!
