163: I want to save money to buy a bicycle
Yu Xiaoye was a little scared at the time, but she shook her head to show off:
"What's there to be afraid of? If I don't pick it up, it will be a waste. If I pick it up, we will have meat to eat. If I don't pick it up, then it will be a benefit to others. It would be better to give it to my parents so that they can have two more meals of meat!"
"Hahahaha, you're right, my baby is such a lucky star!"
Xu Ying was very proud of her smart and brave daughter. She held her daughter's face and kissed her hard, treating her like a three-year-old baby.
Three-year-old Yu Xiaoye was so dizzy from being kissed that when his mother had almost finished kissing him, Yu Xiaoye said shyly:
"By the way, Mom, I have something good to tell you. I'm having my period."
"——Ah?!" Xu Ying screamed, holding her daughter's red face, "Baby, you really have your period, your first period?!"
Yu Xiaoye pursed her lips and nodded shyly.
Xu Ying screamed excitedly again and hugged her daughter in her arms:
"Oh, that's great, baby, you're finally here. I was so worried. It's not easy to get your first period at 18. We must celebrate tonight. This is more worth celebrating than earning a hundred dollars or picking up a roe deer!"
When Yu Xiaoye heard that his mother wanted to celebrate this, he quickly stopped her and said:
"No, Mom, there's nothing to celebrate about this. It's really embarrassing. Just know it, don't celebrate."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I told your dad before that you didn't have your period at 18, and he was worried. It's common for girls to have their periods. Now it's okay, it's okay as long as it's here."
Yu Xiaoye smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to go with his mother.
Yu Xiaoye saw the quilt hidden on the kang and asked again:
"By the way, Mom, have you and Dad adapted to the day and night I've been away? This is your first time sleeping on the kang in this little mud house. Can you sleep well?"
Xu Ying smiled broadly:
"Oh, don't mention it. I thought I would definitely not be able to sleep, but guess what, I actually fell asleep very soundly. I fell asleep as soon as the lights went out. But before I went to sleep, I heard the howling of wolves and the cawing of crows outside, which was quite creepy.
But you know what, sleeping in this mud house is really down-to-earth. Once I get used to it, I think it will definitely be better than sleeping on a yacht.
Sleeping on a yacht, after all, is floating on the water. I always feel uneasy and dare not think too much about it.
But living here, lying on this earthen kang, I have no worries at all. I don’t have to worry about suddenly sinking into the sea, I don’t have to worry about the space suddenly disappearing, and I don’t have to worry about someone knocking on the door and discovering the secret of our home.
People, you still have to be down-to-earth."
Xu Ying's words made Yu Xiaoye particularly relieved.
Yu Xiaoye was originally worried that her mother would not be able to adapt to the life after leaving the soft and comfortable bed in the yacht. It seems that she was worrying too much. After this period of training, her mother has completely adapted to the life here.
My mother today is no longer the urban girl who never had to do housework in her previous life. Instead, she has become a family member of an ordinary employee of the Beidahuang Farm in the 1970s, a genuine rural old woman.
Not only did she fall in love with digging wild vegetables and feeding chickens, but she also adapted to the rural life in the mud house and on the earthen kang. Her mother had completely immersed herself in her role.
This change made Yu Xiaoye feel greatly relieved.
The mother and daughter had only been apart for one day, but they spoke affectionately for a long time, acting as if they hadn't seen each other for years.
Before Yu Xiaoye returned home, Xu Ying was so angry that she wanted to blow up the whole earth. Now that her daughter came back and talked to her for a while, Xu Ying suddenly felt like spring was in full bloom and the sun was shining brightly, and the anger that was stuck in her heart was relieved at once.
Thinking about the quarrel with Sai Jinhua just now, I was not angry, but felt that it was inappropriate.
Why bother with Sai Jinhua, who has no children?
It is normal for others to be jealous when you have such a caring and capable little one at home.
Forget it, let others be jealous!
We are civilized people of the 21st century, so we won’t bother with that old woman Sai Jinhua.
Xu Ying felt relieved and remembered that she had not fed her chickens yet. She had wasted half a day and there was still a lot of work to do. She straightened her hair, got off the kang and went to the yard to feed the chickens.
When Yu Xiaoye saw her mother returned to normal, she remembered that she had not returned the bicycle to Jia Song yet, so she pushed the bicycle to return it.
Just when he was halfway there, he met Jia Song.
It turned out that Jia Song came to visit Yu Xiaoye after hearing that he had returned safely.
As soon as he saw Yu Xiaoye, he immediately gave her a slap on the head and flicked her head hard:
"You're awesome, Yu Xiaoye! You've really made it. You actually dared to ride a bike to the county town alone!"
Yu Xiaoye covered his head and glared at Jia Song aggrievedly:
"I'm back now, look at your car, it's in great condition, not a single part is missing!"
Jia Song snatched his bicycle away without even looking at it, and said through gritted teeth:
"I won't lend it to you anymore!"
Yu Xiaoye rolled his eyes silently.
After returning the bicycle, she went to Sai Jinhua's house again.
When Sai Jinhua learned that Yu Xiaoye went to the county town alone, she was so angry that she had no intention of going to work. She had a big quarrel with Xu Ying, and when she returned home, she lay straight on the kang like Xu Ying.
When Yu Xiaoye appeared in her house quietly, Sai Jinhua's reaction was exactly the same as Xu Ying's. She hugged Yu Xiaoye and looked her up and down, then scolded Xu Ying harshly, saying how cruel Xu Ying was to let a little girl ride a bike to such a far place. Sai Jinhua seriously suspected that Xu Ying was not her biological mother!
She chattered on and on as if she treated Yu Xiaoye as her own daughter and acted as if others were plotting to harm her own daughter.
Yu Xiaoye stayed at their house for a while and coaxed Sai Jinhua into silence with just a few words. Sai Jinhua finally calmed down, but still refused to forgive Xu Ying and told Yu Xiaoye never to go out alone in the future.
It's not safe for a grown-up girl to go out alone. Be sure not to be targeted by bad people.
Yu Xiaoye agreed obediently.
No
But she started to worry. It seemed that it would not be so easy for her to go out alone in the future. She had to settle all the people at home, otherwise the two old ladies would start fighting as soon as she left.
And Jia Song might not lend her a car anymore.
Bald head!
After leaving Sai Jinhua's home, Yu Xiaoye played with a group of children in the company's open space for a while, then returned home. She quietly returned to the yacht alone to pack up the things she brought back and take everything that should be taken to the small mud house.
I have to think about my next trip to the county town. This time I'll be familiar with it, and if I go to the black market next time, I'll be more experienced and can be a little bolder. They actually have a lot of things to sell. As long as I'm brave enough and know how to fool people, I can definitely make more than a hundred dollars next time!
Maybe you can earn hundreds!
Yu Xiaoye’s previous goal was very simple and insignificant. He just wanted to make some money and buy some daily necessities to improve his family’s living conditions, such as food and clothing.
Now that food and clothing are basically no longer a problem, she has a new goal:
She wants to save money to buy a bicycle!
