Transferring student status and household registration, especially across provinces, is something that ordinary people like me can’t even dream of!
So I can understand Uncle Zhao’s theory of the iron rice bowl, it’s basically the same idea!
Sometimes, it's not about money, it's about power, connections, and even very important hidden wealth. A simple phone call from a powerful person would have us ordinary people running around begging and pleading!"
Liang Xiaoxiao hummed twice, her soft voice containing both agreement and a hint of disappointment:
"Take your time to think about it. My grandpa always said, don't try to run before you can walk smoothly, or you will fall. Yueyue, take your time. A year ago, could you have imagined the life you have now? So it's not impossible. At least you have changed, and you are getting better and better."
Bi Yue finally calmed down and pulled herself out of her own thoughts. She nudged Liang Xiaoxiao's plump chest with her elbow and asked, "What's wrong with you?" She tightened the quilt around Liang Xiaoxiao.
"Girl, is there something on your mind? Tell me."
Maybe it was because he drank a little bit of wine, or maybe it was because Bi Yue squatted there in the middle of the night, rubbing Liang Xiaoxiao's ankles carefully and earnestly, Liang Xiaoxiao felt mixed emotions.
She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. About two minutes after Bi Yue finished asking, a sigh from a girl in her twenties was heard in the dark room. The sigh was inconsistent with her age:
"Alas! Have you ever felt at some point that your parents are unreliable? Haha, I think there's something wrong with me. I actually found it quite ironic when I heard the saying that a father's kindness is greater than heaven. A mother's love is greater than heaven, but a father's love isn't that great, okay? It's true that if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather."
Afterwards, Bi Yue asked several times in a low voice, but Liang Xiaoxiao remained silent.
"Your feet are injured, and your heart is injured too. No wonder it's called the soles of the feet." Bi Yue muttered, then tilted her head and fell asleep.
Liang Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart. She could be so carefree now. She really should thank Bi Yue!
It was really late at night, and if they didn't sleep now it would be the next day. The two little girls fell asleep with their heads touching, covered with a big quilt.
…
Early the next morning, Bi Yue opened the door, feeling refreshed, but shivered at the smoky snow.
"Why don't you put on a cotton hat? You are such a silly boy, so stupid!" Bi Yue ran towards the kitchen with a new schoolbag slung over her shoulder. When she passed by Bi Cheng who was sweeping the yard, she kicked Bi Cheng in a cheeky way.
Bi Cheng pursed his lips. His sister was becoming more and more annoying. Compared to Xiao Rui, who spoke softly and loved to laugh, his sister didn't act like a girl at all. With this, how could she ever get married...
"Uncle? Have you packed your luggage yet? Can you please fit this in?"
Bi Yue has gotten used to it. These past two days, their uncle has been making breakfast for them in different ways.
Bi Tielin really sets an example of a good uncle. As long as he is at home, there is always ready-made meals for the two college students.
Bi Yue held a cabbage and pork bun in one hand and two large bowls of millet porridge in the other: "Here, that's for Xiao Sheng. Please take it back for me. I bought it a long time ago and forgot to give it to you."
Bi Tielin still had the black oilcloth apron that Bi Yue wore when she sold fried dough sticks tied around his waist. He turned around with a rice spoon in his hand and looked towards the door.
"Leave it there. Your classmates haven't gotten up yet?"
Bi Yue nodded repeatedly, constantly checking her watch: "Yeah, yeah. I'm about to miss my turn. Uncle, when you get off the train, please stay overnight at my aunt's place. With all the mountains around us, I guess the Northeast is going to be covered in snow right now. Aren't the roads going to be closed?!"
Worrying about your life, after thinking about it, Bi Yue warned again:
"Oh, uncle, after nine o'clock, please go to my classmate's room and knock on the door. She will be up soon. Let her have breakfast and take her medicine. I will ask for leave for her. She has a fever and a cold. Then you can throw all the dishes in the kitchen. I will clean them up when I get home after school.
Ah, uncle, before you go out and get on the train, call Xiaoxiao, she is home alone, ask her to lock the door! "
Have a fever? Isn't it just a sprained ankle?
…
To Bi Yue's nonsense, Bi Tielin only responded with "hmm" and did not do any of her words.
In the hour and a half before getting on the train, he cleaned the living room and kitchen of the courtyard house, swept and mopped the floor. After he finished everything, he left, dragging a large suitcase.
Bi Tielin first put the suitcase at the gate and locked the gate in the yard.
After observing the wall up and down for a while, he took a few meters of run-up, not caring about the snow on the wall that was all over his coat and hands, and instead of taking the usual route, he climbed over the wall and left the courtyard. This was so that the chubby girl in the house could sleep a little longer.
Liang Xiaoxiao took the two notes and first glanced at the one Bi Yue left for her, then looked carefully at the note with unfamiliar handwriting.
"The porridge is in the casserole, and there's freshly boiled water in the thermos. Take one fever reducer and one painkiller three times a day. They're on the kitchen table. The door is locked, so don't worry. Bi Tielin is staying."
Liang Xiaoxiao, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, drank cabbage and bacon porridge, and ate simple and refreshing cucumber cubes mixed with salt. For a moment, she felt indescribably warm in her heart.
She limped to the door of her house and looked at the locked door several times.
For the first time, she had the thought that it would be great if she were "someone else's child."
It would be even better if she was Bi Yue, at least she had an uncle.
…
Plans never change quickly enough. Bi Yue seemed to be in a hurry and planned to sneak home after school to see how Xiaoxiao was doing and then visit Brother Dashan. However, Teacher Li Yongyuan actually asked her to go to the office.
Teacher Li said that today's conversation was not caused by Secretary Zhang and her uncle asking the director and teachers of various subjects to take good care of her.
