Chapter 47
Wang Mengmei warned Jian Li not to talk nonsense.
"I can't tell you how I did on the test, or whether I got a certain score."
Jian Li rolled her eyes: "Ms. Wang Mengmei, your daughter is really not that stupid."
She knew that she was now labeled as "outspoken" by her mother, but she was not against everyone. She was not a fool, knowing that Qian Ping's mentality was unstable, but she still deliberately messed with his mentality.
Wang Mengmei looked at her daughter doubtfully, and then began to arrange the details of the two-day college entrance examination.
The first thing was to drive Jian Feng to live in the store.
At the beginning of this year, she put two folding beds in the restaurant. Sometimes when it is not busy in the afternoon, she and the employees in the store can take a break.
"Xiao Li, sleep with me at night and don't disturb your sister."
After arranging the two children at home, Wang Mengmei began to check Qian Ping's schoolbag and admission ticket.
The next morning, fried dough sticks and eggs were served, and she placed a red-skinned egg in front of Qian Ping.
"Eat quickly. I'll take you to the exam room after you finish."
Maybe because there was a senior high school student in her family, Wang Mengmei also started to pay attention to other senior high school students in the compound. I don't know who said that you should eat a red egg on the day of the college entrance examination in order to be listed on the red list. Before this year's college entrance examination, all the red eggs in the vegetable market were bought up by parents, and Wang Mengmei also grabbed a few.
She planned to cook one for her niece every morning in the next two days. No matter whether it worked or not, eating it was a good sign.
Qian Ping obediently ate the red egg. When she was being sent out by Wang Mengmei, she saw Jian Li eager to say something.
"Aunt, I need something."
Qian Ping came back after leaving the house, touched Jian Li's head, and then left without saying anything.
Jian Li: ???
Why is her sister like this? It's like petting a puppy.
Little did he know that Qian Ping breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the house.
With the help of her little cousin, she felt that her luck had improved a bit.
It may be superstitious, but she always felt that Jian Li was her destined benefactor.
If Jian Li hadn't run away with her last year, she couldn't imagine what she would be like now.
"Let's go, aunt."
Qian Ping carried her schoolbag on her back. This time when she went to the battlefield, she was no longer anxious as before.
…
The two days before the college entrance examination passed no different from usual. On the weekend after the exam, Wang Mengmei closed the store and Jian Feng also took a special leave.
The family of three went back to Wangjiazhuang this time, not only to help Qian Ping bring her luggage back, but also to celebrate Zhao Chunlan's birthday.
In the months after the Chinese New Year, Wang Mengmei's business has been getting better and better. The couple now earns three to four thousand yuan a month. After deducting expenses, in less than a year, Wang Mengmei found that she already had a savings of 10,000 yuan.
The couple took out the passbook containing their savings and looked at the last number again and again.
Ten thousand yuan, they couldn't even think about it before, but now this money is in their account.
Now that she has money, Wang Mengmei spent a lot more when she returned to her hometown this year.
I bought Zhao Chunlan a new set of clothes and brought two boxes of oral liquid health products that were recently advertised on TV. Wang Mengmei put on her new dress, which was picked by Jian Li. It was a beige dress with a small stand-up collar. She didn't use a belt around her waist, but a long thin silk scarf as a belt.
Jian Li picked out a black leather saddle bag for her. When she wore it out, all the women in the compound chased after Wang Mengmei and asked her where she bought it.
Wang Mengmei is so beautiful, and then she started to use the Versailles method.
"Xiao Li picked it for me. It's on Xiuyun Street."
"It's just that the color is a bit cute. I said I couldn't wear it, but this girl insisted that I buy it."
“I made the belt myself.”
…
Wang Mengmei held her husband with one hand and her daughter with the other, looking full of energy and vigor.
Jian Li did not expose her mother's little thoughts, and followed beside her peacefully as a mascot.
Jian Feng brought a big bag of things that Qian Ping couldn't take back with her before. This time, Wang Mengmei didn't take the shuttle bus, but chartered a minibus.
Chartering a car is twenty yuan more expensive than taking a regular bus. Wang Mengmei felt a pain in her heart when she paid for it, but she felt happy about it.
She brought a lot of things this time, and if she took the bus, her new clothes might become wrinkled by the time she arrived.
I just gritted my teeth and spent the money to buy comfort.
The car quickly arrived at Wangjiazhuang and took the family of three to their destination.
The village road was bumpy, but fortunately the car we took this time could take people directly there. Wang Mengmei sat in the car and sighed how nice it was to have a car.
"I wish we could buy one ourselves someday."
After saying this, Wang Mengmei felt that she was too greedy. She had just earned 10,000 yuan a few days ago and hadn't even saved enough money to buy a house, but she was already thinking about buying a car.
Jian Feng, on the other hand, said calmly, “It’s not impossible.”
Jian Feng didn't tell his wife that he had been reading magazines for half a year. In addition, he had been working as a deliveryman for a long time, and he gradually developed an ambition in his heart that was difficult to tell to outsiders.
This wish grew from a small flame into a big flame in his heart, and he couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"If we keep trying, we never know when we'll be able to buy it."
Jian Li also cheered: "That's right, Mom, you should also learn to drive. When we buy a car, you can take me everywhere."
Wang Mengmei uttered a "ha" sound, and with a speechless look on her face, her meaning was very clear.
This father and daughter are both more daring than the other.
The car stopped at the door of Wang Yuedong's house. When Wang Mengmei got out of the car, she found that all the family members were there, except hers.
Wang Mengmei took out the things she brought. Not to mention the health products, they had good names. Zhao Chunlan didn't care whether these things could cure diseases or not, but as long as she knew that the things were expensive, she felt happy.
When the clothes were taken out, Zhao Chunlan really couldn't let them go.
The clothes Wang Mengmei bought this time were sold at a stall on the first floor of a department store. It was said that some silk factories in the south could not continue to operate in recent years, so those with connections collected the goods and sold them in department stores in the north. Since opening a store was too expensive, they rented a temporary stall and sold the goods under the name of "factory promotion", but the prices were not cheap.
The print is not complicated, but it feels light, smooth and cool in your hands.
Wang Menglan knew what was good, and she said it was good material after just one touch: "Last year, a daughter of a landlord in the south gave me a handkerchief after she built her house. It was almost like this."
When she heard the word "expensive", Zhao Chunlan couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Xiaomei is really filial. She still thinks of me even though she is so busy."
Jian Li curled her lips, this was her grandmother's art of speaking.
In the past, when her mother was not busy, she would come back at least four or five times a year. Every time she came back, her grandmother was not satisfied and kept saying that she didn't care about her and that her mother had forgotten about her.
This year, her mother came back less often, but Zhao Chunlan praised her filial piety.
It can be seen that filial piety does not depend on whether one goes home often, but on whether one receives enough money.
"Sister, let's go pick some melons!"
Jian Li's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Shuai. Wang Shuai had long forgotten the beating he received during the Spring Festival. Seeing that Jian Li was kissing him so hard, he immediately wanted to pull her to play.
Some people in the village were growing watermelons on the slopes. At this moment, they were half-ripe and it took a long time to pick out a ripe one.
Wang Shuai brought Jian Li and said something to the person who was looking at the watermelons. Only then did he dare to pick the watermelons.
Jian Li was very satisfied. She thought Wang Shuai would take her to steal watermelons.
This was not without precedent. In his previous life, Wang Shuai always did this kind of thing. He dared to steal pomegranates and grapes from the orchards of the villagers. He would steal rabbits from other families. As for eggs, Wang Shuai didn't call it stealing. He would just take whatever he wanted to eat.
One year, Wang Shuai came back to celebrate Zhao Chunlan's birthday. He brought back a fish and asked his aunt Sun Cuifang to cook it. While the family was eating, the owner of the fish pond came to their house and said that Wang Shuai had stolen their fish.
When he complained, the fish was still steaming on the table.
Then my uncle Wang Yuedong overturned the table and beat the man, even breaking two brooms.
Thinking back to her previous life, Jian Li praised Wang Shuai for spending money to buy melons.
Wang Shuai showed a constipated expression.
After selecting the watermelons, the person in charge of checking the watermelons will weigh them.
"34 cents, 3 cents off."
This is the first batch of melons that have just been harvested, so of course it is more expensive. Jian Li didn’t think much of it, but Wang Shuai was obviously very sad.
The three cents brought him immense pain. Wang Shuai's eyes were filled with reluctance, as if he was giving up his lover.
The melon-watcher took the money and teased him deliberately: "Handsome man, it's not that I want the money from you, but whether I want the money or not, it will be hard to explain to your sister when she comes later."
Wang Shuai: ...
Jian Li asked curiously, "What explanation?"
I was very interested in watching the melon. I guess I have told this story to many people before, so I can tell it fluently.
"Don't you know? This kid came to my place to steal melons before. The melons weren't ripe yet. Not only did he steal them, he also stepped on my melon vines. I was so angry that I went to his house and beat him up."
"My goodness, you didn't see it. The handsome guy asked his sister to beat him up, and he was screaming."
"His sister was still not satisfied after beating me up. She said if she knew that the handsome guy stole the melons again, she would tie him up in my melon field."
The man watching the melons had a look of great interest on his face: "After that, Yunyun often came to ask me if I stole the melons, and whether I paid for the melons..."
Jian Li looked dazed: "Who are you talking about? Wang Yunyun?"
"Yes, it's the handsome man's sister, the one who usually looks so quiet. Tsk tsk, you didn't see it, the handsome man was beaten so badly. Hey, handsome man, did your sister beat you again later?"
Wang Shuai was so weak that he said, "No..."
"Hahahaha, don't do this next time."
…
Amid the laughter of those watching the melon, Wang Shuai seemed to be broken.
Jian Li's subsequent laughter broke him into pieces.
"Hahahahaha you deserve it!"
If she had known that all she needed to solve the problem between her uncle and Wang Shuai in her previous life was a runaway Wang Yunyun, why would she have bothered?
General Wang had a look of despair on his face, and in his heart he had already turned into a tearful little man.
All the beatings he received in the past six months were caused by his sister.
Wang Yunyun’s beating seemed lighter than his father’s, but in fact it was not lighter at all!
Because no one can persuade Wang Yunyun!
Wang Yunyun is the type who can take a break after getting tired and then continue fighting. No one can stop her.
Usually his father beat him, but as long as his grandmother and his mother quarreled, his father would stop.
But when his sister beat him, she would not stop until he heard “I was wrong, I was wrong” from his mouth. And after beating him, she would make him write a self-criticism!
Wang Shuai tried to ask his mother for help, but Sun Cuifang said she had no solution.
"Your sister said it's all for your own good."
Sun Cuifang certainly tried to persuade her daughter, but Wang Yunyun could talk her out of it with just a few words.
"You plan to put him in the detention room, and then you will deliver the food?"
"If you want me to stop caring about it, I will never care about it again from now on. Just pretend that I don't have this brother."
"They are all the same children. What's wrong with me, as the elder sister, disciplining him?"
If her husband beat her son, Sun Cuifang would be angry, but if her daughter beat her son, Sun Cuifang was afraid that she would say something too harsh and her daughter would really get angry with her.
Wang Yunyun was particularly considerate: "If you keep feeling sorry for him, next time I beat him up, you can just get out. You won't feel sorry for him if you don't see him."
Sun Cuifang: ...
