Chapter 41 Money
As soon as Fang Xiaohui went out, she hurried to the Song family.
She would not let things get out of control.
My parents are not the kind of people who feel sorry for their daughter.
Besides, she is not their biological daughter.
Nowadays, if people don’t work for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth.
…………
Jiang Xiaoxiao followed Fan Xiuying to go shopping.
A big bag of stuff.
I bought more than ten kilograms of cotton alone.
They didn't have any cotton coupons left, and Fan Xiuying had borrowed several of them.
"Mom, that's enough. Don't buy the wash basin and kettle. I can't carry them on the road. Especially the kettle, which might get bumped on the road and broken. I can't use it when I take it. It's better for me to buy some after I get to the village. Even if the village is poor, there will always be a supply and marketing cooperative or something like that."
She is dying of exhaustion.
Her mother wanted to move the entire supply and marketing cooperative back home to her, but she accepted the soaps, shampoos and other things.
These things are bound to be used, but it is better not to buy other things if you can avoid it.
But she knew that the train going to the countryside was packed with people, crowded and close to each other.
She only has so little stuff, and it might be lost in the crowd on the road.
She has space.
But those who followed me on the road were all revolutionary comrades with whom I would be with for a long time in the future.
When people come here empty-handed and suddenly you produce so many things, wouldn't it be telling them clearly that there is something wrong with you?
She's not stupid.
Fan Xiuying was also worried about what her daughter said.
Yes, there are so many things needed.
How could this little girl carry so many things? Besides, she would need someone to take care of her on the way, and she might lose something. It would be better for her to prepare some money for her daughter.
The two of them finally returned home, but Fan Xiuying saw that her daughter Fang Xiaohui was not at home. The house was empty, with no one there.
So he closed the door, pulled his daughter into his room, drew the curtains, and closed the door.
"Mom, what are you doing? Are you trying to steal?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was so tired that she was about to collapse.
Because more and more people are going to the countryside recently, the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are almost crowded with people. People are squeezing in and out again. It requires physical strength, which is a physical work that most people cannot endure.
This body is not like the one in my previous life, which had become as strong as steel after long-term hard work. It is now fragile.
"You are such a talker, kid."
Fan Xiuying opened her own closet, and the wardrobe was locked tightly.
Jiang Laoshi had already exchanged the gold bars for money yesterday.
These two gold bars were exchanged for more than five thousand yuan.
More than five thousand.
Fan Xiuying didn't sleep well last night. The couple's combined monthly salary is only more than 40 yuan.
These two gold bars are equivalent to their salary for ten years. The couple can sleep well now!
At first I was just nervous, and then I became worried about all kinds of things.
I'm mainly worried about the house being robbed.
There are many thieves in the past two years, and quite a few of them climb over walls and break into houses to steal.
Fan Xiuying locked the money in a small box, put the small box in a camphorwood box in the cabinet and locked it, and then locked the outside of the wardrobe. It was a heavy lock, otherwise she would not be able to go out today.
He carefully opened the handkerchief and showed the money to Xiaoxiao.
"Silly girl, there's 1,000 yuan in here. Mom will put it in your pocket in case you need it urgently. But you can't put it all in one place. I've thought about it.
I'll sew a few more pockets on your vest and pin the money inside. When you go out, be careful and only use one pocket when you need money."
Fan Xiuying was holding the money and gesturing, already thinking about how to sew a pocket for her daughter.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes were red.
In her previous life, when she left the Fang family to go to the countryside, the Fang family only gave her five dollars.
They didn't even prepare bedding for her, and just let her go to the countryside alone with only five dollars.
Do you know what you can do with five dollars?
I went there by myself, and there was not even a thin blanket in the middle of winter.
If it weren’t for the kind-hearted Sister Jia Shu who has been taking care of her.
She had died there a long time ago.
There was no her later.
"Mom, this is too much money. You should keep it. There are many other places in the family where money is needed. When my brother takes over Dad's job, the income of the two of you will be less. I don't want you to work so hard. You are working day and night to make paper boxes. Your fingers are rotten and cut by the paper boxes. It won't work if you keep doing this for a long time.
I originally wanted you to keep this money with me, so that you can have money at hand for my eldest brother's wedding gift and any other expenses at home. What's the point of giving me so much money? I don't need to spend money there. Think about it, it's in the countryside, even if I want to spend money, is there anywhere to spend it?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao pushed the money back.
This was what she was thinking, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to intercept it.
Fan Xiuying smiled, "You silly child. Some people complain that money is too much! You are just silly! Your parents put this money with you because they are afraid that you might need it urgently and you won't have time to send a telegram when you need it. It is better to keep some money with you than to have no money when you need it. Your parents have suffered from money all their lives and know that life is not easy without money.
Besides, life there will be even harder after you go to the countryside. Why do your parents need so much money? We still have our hands and feet, and we are strong enough to work. Your parents have already discussed this money, and it is for you children, and each of you should get some.
Your parents saved it for you. When you need it urgently, everyone will give it to you. Your father and I still have pensions. Although we can't say we can live a good life, we can definitely eat and wear warm clothes. Don't worry about it."
Fan Xiuying stuffed the money into Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand, then quickly stuffed her small box back into the big box, locked the big box, and then locked the wardrobe.
That series of actions was done in one go.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was amused.
"Mom, you are so nice!"
She was hugging her mother and acting coquettishly.
Fan Xiuying held Jiang Xiaoxiao in her arms and stroked the child's long hair.
"You, mom is really worried about you going to the countryside. You have never suffered hardship in your life. How much suffering will you have to endure when you go there all of a sudden! You are just a disobedient child. I said your brother is thick-skinned and tough. What kind of suffering can he not endure in the countryside? Look at you, it would be so good for you to stay with your parents, but you have to go and suffer this."
He poked Jiang Xiaoxiao's forehead hard.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and rubbed her head against Fan Xiuying's shoulder.
"Mom, you and my dad can't protect me forever. I still have to walk the road ahead on my own. I'd rather suffer a little now than suffer for the rest of my life."
Fan Xiuying sighed.
Yes, they can’t protect this child forever!
