Yi Xiaoqiu thought, why do you give her ten dollars every month? Don’t you have any idea?
However, even though she thought so in her heart, she didn't show it on her face at all and continued to smile.
"Second Aunt, how can the countryside have as much supplies as the city?
The things I used in the countryside were all local products, and I was too embarrassed to bring them on the train, so I only brought a few decent clothes.
If my family hadn't sent me some money, I would have come back wearing patched clothes.
However, I do have a dog-skin hat that's very warm. I wore it for several years in the countryside, but I couldn't bear to give it to another educated youth, so I brought it back. If Second Aunt doesn't mind, I'll get it for you right away."
After Yi Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he pretended to go upstairs to get something.
If you take a dog-skin hat out here, you will be laughed to death!
Yi Xiaoqiu knew what Second Aunt would choose even with her toes.
Sure enough, Liu Guixiang grabbed Yi Xiaoqiu's arm.
"No, no need, keep it for yourself! It's not as cold here as it is in the north, so we don't need it."
That's what she said, but she couldn't hide the disgust on her face.
Yes, she was really out of her mind, actually asking a little girl who came back from the countryside for something.
What good things could there be in the countryside? If she really took the dog-skin hat back, how could she wear it on her head?
If she wears it outside, people will laugh to death!
"Since Second Aunt doesn't want it, I'll keep it for my dad."
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled slightly, and anyone who saw him would think that he was a good child who knew how to behave and when to retreat.
Yi Xiaoqiu's husband, Yi Laoer, and his son, who were talking to him, cleaned up all the leftovers on the table.
When they finished eating and Yi Laoer wanted to have a few sips of wine, the old man and his friends had also finished their drinks and were ready to leave.
Yi Xiaoqiu knew that with so many people here, it would probably be impossible to get any information out of his grandfather.
But she didn't go upstairs, instead planning to wait until they all left before packing up.
There are so many people here, it’s not convenient to take things out.
Yi Guodong didn't drink much, and the old man only drank a few glasses. Neither the father nor the son got drunk.
The two young men drank quite a bit.
Yi Chunsheng seemed to be awake, but his eyes were red.
As a son-in-law, Junsheng couldn't even tell the directions, let alone walk home.
The second sister was holding the child and couldn't help Junsheng go back.
In the end, it was Yi Dongting who sent his brother-in-law back.
Seeing that Yi Guodong had drunk some wine, Yi Xiaoqiu volunteered to go with his cheap father to send his grandfather home.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave and no one was paying attention to them, Yi Laoer and his wife followed Junsheng and his wife out of the courtyard.
Before leaving, Yi Xiaoqiu heard her second aunt complaining that Yi Guoxing was only concerned with eating for himself and didn't leave a piece of meat for her.
When Yi Xiaoqiu and her father were passing by Zhou's house on their way to send their grandfather back, she heard Yi Xiaomei and Zhou Jianjun arguing.
Yi Xiaomei was complaining and Zhou Jianjun was roaring.
There were a few neighbors outside the house, who knew what they were doing.
Seeing Yi Xiaoqiu, his father and his son, he gave them an awkward smile and said, "This is your own yard."
Yi Xiaoqiu wanted to say something, but glanced at Yi Guodong's expression and finally said nothing.
It goes without saying what the neighbors will gossip about.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't care, but it seemed that the Yi family who had lived here for a long time still cared.
At this time, reputation is still very important.
Whatever you do, you have to consider the reputation of this family.
My grandfather’s house is really close. It’s also in the same alley as theirs, and the small courtyard is at the entrance of the alley.
The yard is small, and the main house is not big either. There is one bedroom and one living room downstairs, and the upstairs is empty.
What surprised Yi Xiaoqiu the most was that there was no toilet here.
"Your grandfather has difficulty walking, so we built a toilet for him on the street."
Yi Guodong saw Yi Xiaoqiu looking at the toilet in the yard and explained.
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded.
Yi Guodong looked at the expression on his daughter's face and explained the origin of the toilet.
It is not easy to build a toilet in the city at this time. You have to report to the street office and get the pipes, and the key is that even if you don’t have the connections, they may not be approved.
The old man is a people's hero and should be treated as such.
When the toilet was first built, many people living nearby came to borrow it.
As more people used it, the toilet became extremely dirty. The old man regretted it. Ever since the toilet was built, the yard has been smelly.
He is a clean person, but his legs and feet are not convenient, so he doesn't have as much time to clean the toilet as others.
So, in the end, he had no choice but to go to the street office with a crutch and ask them to demolish the toilet.
We are all neighbors, it would be bad to refuse to lend it to them, right?
It is impossible to demolish it. What if the old man falls while going to the toilet? Wouldn’t that mean that the street office has not done its job well?
In the end, the street office simply came up with a plan: he would charge people for using the toilet.
Five cents a time.
The money is collected by the street office, and the toilets are also cleaned by people from the street office.
There happens to be an old man guarding the entrance of the alley every day, and he watches as the toilet charges are collected.
As a result, no one borrowed the toilet anymore. Who would be willing to pay for using the toilet? No matter how urgent the situation was, they would go to the toilet at the end of the alley.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't expect that there would be so much trouble in such a small toilet.
I was originally thinking about persuading Mr. and Mrs. Yi to build a toilet in the yard, but the idea suddenly gave up.
Anyway, she won't be staying at home for long, so let's not mention it.
What if you really built a toilet and your neighbors come to borrow it, will you lend it to them or not?
If you lend it to your own home, it will become a public toilet, and if you don't lend it to others, you will offend others.
If my grandfather wasn't a people's hero, the street office would never have intervened in this matter.
After sending grandpa home, the father and daughter passed by Zhou's house. The courtyard door was closed and the person eavesdropping outside was no longer there, but they could still hear the sound of quarreling coming from inside.
The father and daughter passed by Zhou Jianjun's house in silence.
After returning home, Yi Xiaoqiu took out some more things from the farm.
Han City is hot in summer and cold in winter. In addition, it is located on the riverside, so the wind is particularly strong. The river breeze in winter can chill you to the bone.
Yi Xiaoqiu bought a lot of leather.
Everyone had a fur coat, even my little niece had a pair of sheepskin boots.
She could have bought more, but in order not to worry her family, she reluctantly bought one for each person.
I bought mink coats for my mother, second sister and sister-in-law. As soon as I took them out, the two women couldn't take their eyes off them.
"Oh my God! This is..."
Zhang Yue looked at the brown women's mink coat with shining eyes.
"Mom, I bought this for you. Try it on and see if it fits you."
Yang Zhen stared at the mink coat in her daughter's hand, not knowing what to say.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't care about that. She stuffed the clothes into her cheap mother's arms and took out a black one.
"This is for you, sister-in-law. I don't know if it will fit you."
Even when Zhang Yueqi held the clothes in her hands, her face was still full of disbelief.
Does she still have it?
This sister-in-law is so nice!
She was wrong!
She shouldn't have any opinion about her sister-in-law.
