Chapter 125 Three Lives

"Why not? My mother said that people need to eat well to have a healthy body. If you don't get sick, you don't have to go to the hospital to see a doctor, which saves money."

Tiedan looked at Tong Yan with a dazed look on his face and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

He is not a fool either.

The food in their house is indeed much better than that in many other families.

That's because his father found a good stepmother for them. Not everyone is so lucky.

At least, their lives were bad before the age of five.

Tong Yan heard Tiedan's laughter and knew that the boy was doing it on purpose. He rubbed his head and said, "Are you teasing me on purpose?"

"No, uncle!" Fusheng spoke differently from others. No matter what he said, he seemed to be slow and measured. "Uncle, this is how we usually eat. Those were the words my brother said, not my mom."

Tong Yan: “…”

Jingfeng couldn't help laughing.

"I thought our family life was pretty good." Tong Yan said honestly.

Jing Xian served soup to Xiaowu and Xiaoliu. After hearing this, she said, "The situation is different. We are near the sea. And we live in a military area. Although life is hard, we can buy pork and other things every now and then. We can squeeze some oil from the beans we grow at home. We usually use soybean oil and pork fat for cooking. We try to let the children eat meat twice a week. The rest of the time, we eat seafood."

Tong Yan is still very jealous.

"I don't know when I can eat meat every day!" He loves eating meat, and it seems that everyone loves eating meat now.

After dinner, Tong Yan and Tiedan were responsible for cleaning the house, and Comrade Jingfeng cleaned up and went to work.

Tong Yan stayed here to take care of the younger ones so that Jing Xian could review well.

Jing Xian remembered that she hadn't called Shang Nanchen yet, so she went to Jing Feng's study to make the call.

"Have you just finished your work?" After the call was connected, Shang Nanchen's voice came from the phone.

The voice was a little distorted, and Jing Xianjue felt as if she had been separated from Shang Nanchen for a long time.

"We arrived yesterday morning, had dinner, rested for a while, and then went to Damao's house. We had dinner at Damao's grandpa and grandma's house in the evening. The two children stayed there yesterday. I took them for a run in the morning, and after breakfast, Dad went to work. Tong Yan, my cousin, is outside helping to take care of the children."

Jingxian is a very calm person sometimes.

The tone of her voice as she described the incident was calm and composed.

"On the way?" Shang Nanchen knew she had arrived, and he felt relieved, but he was more concerned about the safety of the road.

Jing Xian said, "Nothing could happen on the road. We had a small pot with us so we could cook soup on the way. The food was good. We didn't stop at night. We just listened to you and stopped at dawn."

"Jing Xian."

"Um?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't get into college. I will support you." Shang Nanchen suddenly said on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jing Xian looked at the book in her hand, but couldn't continue reading.

She suddenly missed Shang Nanchen very much.

I don’t know how Shang Nanchen eats when he’s alone at home.

When I called just now, she didn't even ask a question.

At noon, Comrade Jingfeng came back for lunch and thought Jingxian was reading a book, but he found out that she had already prepared the meal.

"Why are you cooking when you're fine?" Jingfeng came in and rolled up his sleeves to help.

Jing Xian pointed at the plate and said, "It's all ready. Just serve it and you can eat it."

"You're going to take the college entrance exam in a few days, how can you not study? I've asked someone to come and help with the housework, so you don't have to cook anymore. You just need to study hard." Jingfeng glanced at Tong Yan who was taking care of the children outside and said, "Although Tong Yan is a boy, he is very considerate. Look at the little wooden horse he made for the two children. They are having a lot of fun playing with it."

Only then did Jing Xian notice that Xiaowu and Xiaoliu both had new toys, namely Tiedan and Fusheng, as well as a seesaw.

"The wood costs a lot of money, Dad, you give the money to them later." Jing Xian wanted to give it to them, but Tong Yan would definitely not accept it.

Comrade Jingfeng was also happy to say so. He smiled and said, "That's natural. I won't let Tong

Yan is the one who suffers the loss. "

"Tong Yan is a smart kid. He has learned all the craftsmanship passed down from his family. Even in the furniture factory, the salary is not low. Many people have introduced him to potential partners. His father said that Tong Yan still feels that he is still a child and has no plans to get married for the time being. I guess he was forced to leave home by his family."

Jing Xian glanced at Comrade Jing Feng and said, "Dad, are you taking pleasure in this misfortune?"

"Is it obvious?" Jingfeng joked.

Jing Xian couldn't help laughing.

"Dad, let Tong Yan make the furniture for our house. I'll pay him by the day." Jing Xian said this because they were relatives. "Boy, you still need to have some money to stand up straight."

"I told him that it's up to you to decide the specific style." Jingfeng didn't have any objection.

"I'll tell him after dinner." Jing Xian brought out the rice and walked towards the dining table.

Jingfeng frowned: "You don't want to review?"

"I won't review it. I can't finish the book anyway."

Jingfeng: “…”

Well, even if his daughter can’t get into college, he can still support her.

After dinner, Jing Xian called Tong Yan over, followed the drawings on paper, pointed to the room she lived in and said, "This is my room. I want to change the room down here into a fire dragon, and use wooden floors. The bed will also be made of wooden boards, not the bed we use now, but the bed will be made like a kang, but it will be made of wood."

After Jing Xian finished speaking, she asked Tong Yan, "Can you do this?"

"It's quite simple, not difficult." Tong Yan has been thinking that if it is to make a cabinet, it must be difficult, but if it is to make a big shop, it must be easy, "It's just some waste wood."

"The bottom is made into a grid, and the wooden board on top can be lifted up, and things can be placed in the grid." Jing Xian said.

Tong Yan said, "Sister, as long as there is enough wood, I can make it for you."

"Okay, make a bed for Xiaowu's room. Make it bigger and not too high. Here..." Jing Xian talked to Tong Yan while drawing. Tong Yan memorized everything and nodded when he thought it could be done.

"The other rooms should also be made like my room. And I'll make some desks for the brothers. In addition, I'll need a wardrobe. The wardrobe should be simple. Nothing fancy. It should just look like a wall. Then you can open it to put clothes and other things inside."

Tong Yan's eyes lit up as she listened to him: "Sister, your idea is really great! It's better looking than many people's looks now! If I get married in the future, I want to make it like you."

Jing Xian said, "You keep all these drawings."

"Sister, when you take the college entrance exam, will you also study this? I heard that some people are studying architecture." Tong Yan is also a high school student. He also took the college entrance exam last year, but unfortunately he didn't pass.

Jing Xian asked him, "Are you not going to take the test again today? Are you really giving up?"

"Sister, I'm not good at studying." Tong Yan lowered his head and said embarrassedly.

“But you can’t draw or design, so that’s how your life will be. But if you can design, you don’t have to do it yourself. Instead, you can draw a picture and the factory will make the new product you designed.” Jing Xian thought of the plot in the phone call she watched with her sister at the end of the world, and felt that being a designer would be much easier.

Moreover, this is scarce talent.

Tong Yan said embarrassedly: "Sister, actually I have registered, but I am unwilling to give up. I want to try again, what if I can get into a technical secondary school?"

"Then why don't you review well and still do this here?" Jing Xian felt that Tong Yan's brain was not working well, so she asked him, "Have you brought all your books? Bring them over, I will help you review."

She stood up and shouted to Tiedan, "Tiedan, go call your elder brother over and ask him to come over to review in the next few days."

"Okay!"

Tiedan rode away on his bicycle.

When Damao came over, he saw Tong Yan sitting obediently at the desk, so he took a stool and sat beside him.

"Starting today, I will review the high school knowledge for you from the beginning. Today, I will start reviewing Chinese. I will review one subject every three days, and the intensity is very high. You must study hard for me during this period of time."

Jing Xian took out the notes she had taken when she taught Damao and started teaching the two people.

Tong Yan cherishes this opportunity very much.

He studied harder than anyone else.

Tong Yan thought he was stupid, but he was determined and had memorized every word in the Chinese textbook. The next day, Jing Xian found that both Tong Yan and Damao had mastered Chinese very well.

"Since you don't need me to lead you in reviewing Chinese, let's not waste time. Tong Yan, you don't need physics and chemistry. Tong Yan, if you want to study design, you only need to review the liberal arts."

Jing Xian divided them into arts and science. If you want to improve your grades in science in a short time, you must be blessed or have a good foundation. She asked Tong Yan a few questions and found that Tong Yan was not good at physics and chemistry.

Tong Yan was very obedient: "Then I will review the liberal arts."

"Now I'm going to review math for you. Math is a subject that helps you get better scores. As long as your math score is high enough, you can rank ahead of many people. Math is actually very simple. Once you learn it, just remember it in your mind."

When Jingxian was teaching mathematics, Damao was also learning beside her.

Da Mao absorbs quickly, and Tong Yan is not stupid, but he is far behind Da Mao. Da Mao is a warm-hearted child, but he does not show it. Jing Xian handed the physics and chemistry notes to Da Mao.

Damao reviewed on his own and asked Jingxian when he encountered something he didn't understand.

Damao also has to take an English test.

Jing Xian could help with English, but she didn't dare to speak. Every time Jing Feng gave Damao extra lessons, the whole family would follow suit except Tong Yan who was reviewing desperately.

Jing Xian mingled with the crowd and followed suit, not standing out at all.

Time flies and passes by in the blink of an eye.

The day of the exam arrived.

Comrade Jingfeng looked more nervous than anyone else.

Tong Yan went back two days ago.

He has to go back to take the exam.

Jingxian and Damao were in the same examination room. When they got on the bus to the outside of the examination room, there were really crowds of people outside.

"There are so many people taking the exam!" Comrade Jingfeng was sitting in the car, the guard was driving, and the two candidates were sitting in the back.

He turned around and nervously reminded me, "Don't be stressed about the exam. It doesn't matter what you do."

"I know, Dad. Don't be nervous."

As they spoke, Jing Xian and Damao got out of the car and walked slowly into the examination room.

Sitting in the examination room, Jing Xian felt nervous and excited.

At this moment, she finally realized that she had taken a completely different path from her previous life.

She was not sold out by the Jing family, nor was she struggling in the apocalypse. Her biological father was still alive, her lover was a very outstanding man, and she had six children.

What a warm family.

The exam was stressful.

Old Mrs. Xie lived here and cooked for them every day.

Even Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are so well behaved.

No one dared to disturb Jingxian and Damao easily.

Jingxian, on the other hand, had little pressure. After she came back from the exams and had dinner, she would take a stroll in the vegetable garden when she had nothing to do. Since she came here, she has planted potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as radishes and cabbages at home.

There was also a pool of spinach and leeks.

It is estimated that we will not be able to eat leeks this year, but it doesn’t matter. If we plant them in advance, we can eat them next year.

Every day she checks whether the carrots and pineapples are growing well, whether the potatoes are big enough, whether there are enough sweet potatoes, and whether there are any pests in the cabbages.

Anyway, I'm very busy.

A few days ago, she received a letter from Liu Lijuan.

Liu Lijuan said in the letter: "I don't know what's wrong with the Jing family. They quarrel every day. Jing Daming is now staying in Sheng City and working in a bicycle factory. He is very different now. Jing Mingyue gave birth to another girl, which caused her in-laws to look down on her..."

Jing Xian thought strangely that Jing Daming and Zhou Huifang quarreled every day, probably because of the lost money.

Jing Xian felt unhappy when she thought about this money.

The money was taken, but the Jing family was unhappy, and neither was she.

.

My grandmother broke her leg while working so hard to earn work points just for a few dollars. If Jing Daming's family hadn't been so greedy, my grandmother would definitely still be alive and well.

She just felt ashamed of herself for getting the money back in this way.

Jingfeng saw Jingxian sitting alone in the yard in a daze and thought she didn't do well in the exam.

He walked over and sat next to Jing Xian to comfort her: "It doesn't matter if you didn't do well in the exam. We can just take it again later. It's not like you only have one chance."

"Dad, I did okay in the exam." Jing Xian explained.

Jingfeng didn't believe it and thought Jingxian was just comforting him.

"So is there something that makes you unhappy?" Jingfeng pretended to think that Jingxian did well in the exam, so he changed the subject according to her words.

Jing Xian looked up at the moon and said, "Dad, Liu Lijuan wrote me a letter today. The letter said that Jing Daming's family was fighting every day. I know why they were fighting. They must have just found out that all the money in the house was missing. I took the money at the beginning because I wanted them to fight each other. But now I think about it, I don't feel very happy about taking it away like this."

"You took the money without alarming them. It was a talent of yours. Although your method was wrong and dishonorable, you, Chen Gong, created suspicion between them and caused irreparable conflict. Their relationship will also break down, and they will never have a good ending in their lives. If you took the money openly, they would just unite and curse you."

After hearing what Jingfeng said, Jingxian inexplicably felt that it made some sense.

"Don't you think your daughter is a thief?" Jing Xian asked.

Jingfeng said: "Would you take someone else's things in this way?"

"Of course not."

It’s because Jing Daming’s family has a grudge against her, a grudge for three lives!

Jingfeng smiled and said, "Then what are you still fussing about? They are no longer of one mind, and their hatred will only escalate. What else are you unhappy about?"
