Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Wu Shufen patted Wu Shufang, whose face was flushed with anger, and comforted her: "Sister, the smell is far away, and the smell is close. Shi Song and Xiaofeng are outside, and it is rare to go back once a year. Granny Li will understand which one is true filial piety."

Wu Shufang thought of Mrs. Li's vitriolic look, and felt that she was blind before: "I killed the second child."

After Wu Shufen heard this, she didn't know how to comfort her, she just said: "They have already come out, you think about the good, and it will be fine in the future."

Wu Shufang sighed: "That's the only way I can think about it." Sending two people who had never been out of the mountains to Dongshi at once made her feel very upset.

Wu Shufen looked at the frowning elder sister, and said in a warm voice: "Okay, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You have tried your best. Seeing that your eyes are sunken, go to Guoliang room and lie down for a while." Said while pushing her into the room, let her fall asleep.

At noon, Lin Changyoucai came to the restaurant on his bicycle and told Wu Shufen that a lot of cow felt and river vines had grown in the drainage ditch of the rice seedling field, and that he would pull weeds in the afternoon.

Wu Shufen told him about the arrival of Zhou Shisong's family, and Lin Changyou rode to the pastry shop again, asking Lin Lan to find time to go home and ask the old lady what she meant.

After lunch, Lin Lan went back to Yucai Road to find the old lady, told her about the situation of Zhou Shisong's family, and asked her if she would like to rent out the house?

The old lady thought that no one lived in the house, it would not be popular for a long time, and it would be damaged after a long time. Renting it out could subsidize the family, so she finally set a rent of ten yuan a month, and Zhou Shisong's family was responsible for the repairs of the house.

The old lady agreed, and Lin Lan took her to the restaurant by bike, and the two families made an agreement in person that the rent would be paid quarterly, and Zhou Shisong's family would be responsible for the electricity bill.

Wu Shufang took out the only 30 yuan to help Zhou Shisong pay the rent, and the family followed Lin Lan, the old lady, and Wu Shufen to Lexing with their luggage on their backs.

The old lady opened the courtyard door and pointed to the vegetable field in front of the courtyard dam: "When this vegetable field is cleaned up, you don't have to worry about a year's worth of vegetables. There are also beds, a few old tables and chairs, benches, and kitchenware in the house." There are water tanks and cupboards, so you should take care of them and use them.”

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the spacious courtyard and nodded happily: "We will cherish it."

Looking at the yard, Zhou Shisong was both happy and worried. He was happy that the family had a place to live, and that the old lady's house was spacious, so the family of four did not need to live together.

The worry is that with the addition of the pension money for the mother-in-law, the family will have to spend 15 yuan a month without eating or drinking. If I can’t earn this money...

The old lady showed them around, told them about the behavior of the neighbors, handed the key to Wu Shufang, and went back to the city with Lin Lan.

Wu Shufen helped to clean up. Seeing that Zhou Shisong's family had a basket of red sweet potatoes and a bag of corn, they went home and scooped up ten catties of rice, some oil and salt, and two pieces of bacon for them.

"Shi Song, tomorrow you and the boss will go to set up a stall together. Xiaofeng will dig up the vegetable patch at home with the children. I still have vegetable seeds. While it's still early, order a variety of vegetables and some corn."

Zhou Shisong and his wife thanked each other gratefully: "Thank you, Second Aunt..."

Wu Shufen smiled and waved her hands, and said to Wu Shufang: "Sister, take your time to clean up, I'm going back to cook pig food and feed the pigs."

"Okay, I'll take you out." Wu Shufang sent her out the back door, and turned back when she saw her walking away.

Zhou Shisong looked at his old lady, his frown could kill a fly: "Mom, do you think we can stand here?"

Lu Xiaofeng also sat hunched over on the stool, looking at her with frowning eyes.

Wu Shufang looked at her timid son and daughter-in-law, and said sharply: "Xiaolan paid a whole load of debts with Xiaodouzi, look how Xiaolan is doing now!
You are a big man, and your second aunt and the others support you.Take ten thousand steps back, even if you can't do business, you still have strength, you didn't listen to what your uncle said, you can earn a few dollars a day by unloading goods at the railway station warehouse. "

Zhou Shisong puffed up his chest after hearing this: "Yes, I still have some strength."

Wu Shufang nodded: "If I don't have the skills, I have to learn from those who have the skills, so that I can gain knowledge. I'm going to go tomorrow, just see the opportunity, ask if you don't understand, don't pretend to be smart."

"Understood." Zhou Shisong begged Wu Shufang to stay here with Li Xiaofeng for a few days, and Wu Shufang agreed.

Next, Zhou Shisong followed the Lin Guoliang brothers to set up a stall in the clothing factory, helping to peel potatoes, fry potatoes, put on meat skewers, put on leeks...

Wu Shufen asked Brother Lin Guoliang to pay him two yuan a day, and when he was able to set up a stall independently, he would go to set up a fried potato stall.

With the help of Wu Shufen and the others, Zhou Shisong's family gradually adapted to life in Dongshi.

On the day at the end of the month, just as Lin Lan closed the shop and planned to go to Limin Road, Yao Xiuyun came and looked at her with a smile: "Your family Xiangyang called back, let me tell you that he and Uncle Da were delayed on the road, maybe I won't be back in Dongshi until mid-June, so don't worry."

Lin Lan did some calculations, and the [-]th of June is the Duanyang Festival: "I came back in the middle of the month just in time for the Duanyang Festival."

Yao Xiuyun nodded, pulled her and said embarrassingly: "Last time you told me about building a house, I told Dongzi, and he thought what you said made sense. We plan to report it first, and wait for the approval. Start construction, the money owed to you will only be paid back later.”

Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, just use it."

Yao Xiuyun smiled and nodded: "Let's go back together."

"Okay." Lin Lan asked Qiaohui and Tong Xinglan to come behind, and rode with Yao Xiuyun to Limin Road.

The two chatted while cycling, and Yao Xiuyun asked: "Tomorrow is Children's Day, the children will have a holiday, it happens to be Sunday, how about we take the children to play by the river for a day?"

Lin Lan nodded with a smile: "Okay, I've never taken Xiaodouzi to play by the river before!" On Children's Day, she also wanted to take Xiaodouzi out to play.

Yao Xiuyun turned her head and said with a smile: "We go there every year. During this period of time, the water in the river is not big. There is a sandy beach by the river. Let's take something to have a picnic there."

"Okay, let's go to the vegetable market to buy things for the picnic tomorrow morning."

"I think Brother Lin's mutton kebabs are delicious. There are also roasted leeks, roasted pork belly, and some young leaves of lettuce. It tastes the best when wrapped!"

The two chatted and laughed and arrived at Limin Road. He Li told Lin Lan that Lao Li had gone back to pick up Xiaodouzi.

The shop on Limin Road closed at seven o'clock. Lin Lan and Yao Xiuyun rode their bicycles back. As soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw Lao Li entering the alley with a few children.

Lin Lan found that the clothes and pants of the three boys were dusty, and they walked listlessly for two steps, as if they had fought with someone.

Yao Xiuyun also found out: "Lin Lan, did the children fight?"

Lin Lan nodded: "Catch up and have a look."
