Bi Tielin stood up and took out his pocket to light a cigarette. He had originally decided to leave after saying this, but he was still worried and emphasized:
"Sister, my brother and sister-in-law are also going to Kyoto in a few days. Even if our family starts building a house in the spring, it will be difficult for me to come back.
We'll have to wait and see how he does after the surgery. It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, so he needs to recover slowly.
You are the only one left in my hometown, so think more about everything.
How about this, you pay for building the house first.
The drawings were left to Brother Zhao. Yueyue insisted on building a small second floor in one go.
We have to tear up the backyard, and rebuild it properly, which will cost at least 18,000 yuan. Do you have the money?"
"Ah? Tielin, are you out of money?" Bi Jinzhi nodded quickly, very honestly, and quickly told her brother:
"I have some. I've saved 15,000 in fixed-term loans, and I still have a few thousand in current-term loans.
To tell me the exact amount, since you asked me this out of the blue, I really don’t know. Your brother-in-law is in charge of the accounts.
It's okay, he manages the money but not the work. Just tell me how much you need and I'll give it to you! When we finish building the house and sell the goods, we can still..."
Bi Tielin waved his hand and thought to himself, silly sister, does he need that 18,000 yuan?
Stop it:
"I'm going to mine. I don't know where I'll be, so it's inconvenient to send money to Brother Zhao.
Besides, someone from our family needs to go and take a look when he is free. We can’t rely on outsiders to take care of our family affairs. When the time comes, you can let my brother-in-law supervise the work.
I'll use the money you put down for the house to buy you a bicycle, and then a few TVs and washing machines, and see if I can get you a refrigerator. Those things are in short supply, so why would you keep so much money on hand? "
Bi Tielin had good intentions, and he was just short of teaching her step by step. He knew that if he tried to persuade his sister to manage money again, the conversation would become more and more complicated, and it would be difficult to explain to his sister.
They are a couple, sometimes parents can't be as close as their spouses, let alone him. Didn't you see that as soon as he said a few words about his brother-in-law, his sister immediately glared at him?
"Okay. You decide. Building a house is a serious matter, but the pressure on the goods..." Bi Jinzhi was a little distressed:
"Is it necessary to hold all the goods in reserve? Your brother-in-law said he wants to save money to buy a storefront and give it to Juanzi as a dowry tomorrow."
"You listen to him in everything. How old is Juanzi? Others want goods, but there's nowhere to buy them. Sister, figure it out on your own. I'm leaving now."
Bi Tielin spoke frankly to his sister. When he saw Old Lady Fu outside, he was very polite and even shouted to Fu Juan, who was leaning against the window to pick up the plastic sheet:
"Juanzi, if you have anything, call your uncle. If I'm not home, call your sister. Do you hear me? Your uncle is gone?"
Bi Jinzhi pushed her brother:
"She's just a kid, why would she call you? Did you give her money? Aren't you just causing more trouble? I'll take the train to find you someday!"
Old Mrs. Fu was happy. Did the little god of wealth give her granddaughter money? She grabbed Bi Tielin's hand, smiled, wrinkled her face and said:
"Look, Tielin, I've made you spend money again. You can't spoil your child. She's rude and won't even come out to see you off until I tell her to. If I were you, I'd ask her to stay for another half day. I didn't even prepare anything good for breakfast."
"No, Auntie. Juanzi is little. She talked to me a little yesterday. After careful consideration, I found that she is actually a good child. Although there are some things that are not right, she is still young and needs guidance. If she improves one place on the exam, then we should reward her. If she doesn't improve, we should talk about it. My sister is not good at this. She has a bad temper. Please bear with her."
The few words Bi Tielin said while standing in the yard were not really directed at Fu Juan. Without eyeballs, how could there be eye sockets?
But Fu Juan, who was lying on the windowsill, was young and sentimental, so she started crying and wiped her nose and tears with her sleeve.
Last time she cursed her uncle for going to jail, but this time she was actually reluctant to see him go, but was too embarrassed to go out and see him off.
Bi Jinzhi stood at the gate with her shoulders folded, looking at the shadow of the car, feeling a little lost.
We only see each other for a few days throughout the year, and before we can get close to each other, we're gone again.
My younger brother is going back to Kyoto and said he won’t pass by here anymore.
Mrs. Fu commented with great emotion:
"Jinzhi, whoever supported Tielin in the past suffered the most, but now they are the ones who benefit the most. So, people, when times are tough, give them a hand. They all go through three cycles of poverty and wealth until old age."
…
Bi Jinzhi was in a depressed mood, and Bi Tielin was driving and was also in a bad mood.
People who are rarely emotional are blaming themselves at this moment and putting psychological shackles on themselves.
On the one hand, he felt an indescribable guilt for abandoning his sister to this small county town.
He actually had the ability to bring his own sister to Beijing, but he didn't say it.
Especially when he glanced at the rearview mirror while turning a corner and saw his sister's tall figure, Bi Tielin could only recall the past when he stood there.
His sister used to be a famous beauty in the surrounding villages. She was capable and quick-witted.
When I first announced that I was looking for a partner, not only were there a lot of people proposing marriage, but at that time, my conditions were pretty good.
He remembered a man who was sent down to teach. He was a gentle-looking man who wore glasses with the frames of his glasses stuck to his head with tape.
When it comes to talking, I thought I was quite good at pretending, but I ended up stuttering and blushing as I managed to say: I want to marry his sister, but I have to save money for another two years. His mother is a doctor.
Anyone who heard that at the time thought it was so shameless.
His mother didn't wait for the man to finish speaking. She cursed the whole family as monsters and demons, shouting that their Bi family had a good family background, and immediately kicked them out with a broom.
This time when I went back to my hometown, we were drinking and chatting, and somehow we brought up that person.
That old ninth was quite promising. He was replaced by someone in the first year and his return to the city quota was withheld. He worked hard and took the exam for two consecutive years, and finally returned to the city by passing the university entrance exam.
