Tian Xiaolan said to her: "I came here on my own initiative. I have good news for you!"
"What good news?" Fang Guihua looked at Tian Xiaolan when she heard this.
Tian Xiaolan smiled happily and said, "I have already taken over that store."
Fang Guihua repeated in disbelief: "Did we bring enough money? Did we really buy it?"
Tian Xiaolan said frankly: "Yes, I have already got the land deed. I will show it to you when I get back. I don't have enough money to buy the store, so I borrowed some from Director Shi's family."
Fang Guihua said: "They believe you are doing good things, so remember to return the money you earn."
"Okay, let's go down the mountain." As we chatted, the rain gradually subsided.
Tian Xiaolan walked in front to see which side was less slippery, and Fang Guihua walked behind.
She walked slowly in front, holding her hand with one hand, and carrying a backpack on her back.
"Why don't you give me the backpack? It's hard to carry it on your back."
Tian Xiaolan said: "No, I can carry it."
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Fang Guihua agreed to her decision. The road was slippery and it would be easy to fall if they pulled or tugged.
Fang Guihua asked worriedly: "Why did you come back today? Did something happen to you?"
"It's okay! We came back late because we were working in the store all day and made you worry."
"Okay, I know you know how to act. Next time, please tell us." Fang Guihua said as she held Tian Xiaolan's hand tightly and followed her down the mountain.
She nodded.
The path that Tian Xiaolan led was occasionally slippery, but mostly walkable, circling the mountain and slowly arriving at the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, raindrops fell on my body, and even though I was wearing a raincoat, the rain still penetrated into my raincoat. In addition, the raincoat was so thick that every step I took felt like a thousand pounds.
After coming down the mountain, we were not far from home. There were not many people on the road, and everyone was hiding from the rain at home.
When Tian Xiaolan and Fang Guihua returned home, Li Weiguo was no longer sitting in the main room, and the books were put aside.
''Bang!''
Fang Guihua heard what seemed to be an explosion in the kitchen and went over to see who was causing trouble.
The door was open. She walked in and saw Li Weiguo sitting by the firewood burning and stuffing things in. He was the one who made the noise just now.
Fang Guihua asked loudly: "What are you doing?"
Li Weiguo looked over, not expecting her to be back so soon. He stood up and walked towards Fang Guihua: "You're back! Are you wet?"
The pot lid was tightly closed, so you couldn't see what was inside: "It's okay, what are you cooking in the pot?"
Li Weiguo: "I cooked dinner. I thought you would be hungry when you got home, so I cooked it first."
"Okay, let me take a look."
As soon as Fang Guihua opened the lid of the pot, hot steam surged up. She held the wire ring on the lid and stepped aside, waiting for the hot steam to dissipate before she moved closer.
I looked at the pot and saw sweet potatoes again. "There is no vegetable at home. It's not like we haven't had rice yet. Why are we eating this again?"
Li Weiguo also felt the disdain in the words, but he had to eat the rice distributed by the village sparingly, otherwise it would be difficult to survive until this time next year.
"Tomorrow, if you want to eat, I'll cook some for you and the baby. I'll eat this."
After Fang Guihua heard what he said, she said to him, "How could it be possible that only they and I would eat? You must still eat. You work so hard every day, it would be difficult not to eat."
Li Daguo was very happy to hear her say this: "No, I don't like this."
No one would believe it. He must be reluctant to eat it and want to save it for them. He is such a good person that he would rather starve himself than let them starve.
She still remembered that when times were tough a few years ago, he skipped meals and tricked them into eating, then gave his share to the children. Eventually, he collapsed from hunger. She didn't want this to happen again, and no matter what, she couldn't treat herself too badly.
Fang Guihua advised: "The body is the capital of revolution. If you don't take care of your body, how can you teach your children?"
"Don't be so frugal. We have income. If your eldest son doesn't bring money back every month, I have a feeling that our family will get better and better."
Li Weiguo asked doubtfully: "Do you still believe this?"
"Really? Don't you think Lanlan is really different? Maybe she will even take us to the city."
"You go if you want to go, I'm not going anyway!"
Fang Guihua was too lazy to say more to him: "You can go or not!"
"We have to rely on ourselves. Whatever she has is hers."
Fang Guihua felt that he was just worried about his students, but he couldn't stay here forever. She remembered that when Li Weiguo proposed to her, he promised to take her out to see the world.
Her understanding of cities comes from word of mouth. If possible, she would also like to see with her own eyes those cities that others talk about as prosperous.
Fang Guihua: "As long as we have something to eat, you will also have something to eat."
"Okay, I'll eat with you."
Tian Xiaolan sat outside and listened. She didn't feel comfortable going in while the two were talking, so she waited until they finished talking before going in.
Tian Xiaolan smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to town in three days. I won't be back for a while. You can come to town to find me when you have nothing to do. I'll show you our store."
Fang Guihua heard her invitation and said proudly: "Okay, don't be bothered when I come!"
Looking at Li Weiguo's eyes seemed to be saying, see, the child I raised never forgets his roots.
Li Weiguo didn't respond at all, and said to Tian Xiaolan seriously: "Xiaolan, if you want to do business, we must be honest and treat people with integrity, so that everyone will think your store is good. Your mother and I will not go for now. We will come to see you when you are stable. If you need anything from your family, tell your brother, don't keep it in your heart."
''good.''
Fang Guihua was dissatisfied when she heard how he could represent her in just a few words: "Don't listen to him. I will come to help you when I am free. The store has just opened and it will definitely be very busy."
"Thank you, Mom."
Fang Guihua asked her: "By the way, are you still hiring? What do you think of Xiu'er's mother Liu Dongmei?"
"I think my aunt is a good person with a kind heart. I'll talk to her tomorrow!"
Tian Xiaolan didn't know whether her life now was still as comfortable as before. She had to go and see her and ask her opinion.
Fang Guihua laughed and said, "Okay, okay, just say you're short of people, don't say it was me who suggested it."
Unexpectedly, she did good deeds without leaving her name, so Tian Xiaolan had no choice but to do as she said.
"By the way, Xiaolan, how long do you think this rain will last? I wonder if the pigs on the mountain will get sick." "If they do get sick, it will definitely be her fault."
