Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 154 Can you save 100 yuan a month?
Now that my mother is much better, there is no need for everyone to keep an eye on her.

After everyone discussed it, everyone else went home, leaving the eldest sister alone to take care of them.

This is also her strong request.

Although the eldest sister is small, she is very good at work and her strength is not small at all.

She absolutely refuses to let anyone else join her.

He said that he could take care of it by himself.

In the end, I had no choice but to tell Yuanyuan that if she was free, she could stop by and take a look after finishing her work.

Everyone else went back to their homes.

Only the second sister and Li Muyang were left.

Li Muyang decided to stay one night and wait until the doctors went to work tomorrow to see how the hospitalization expenses were and whether he should continue to save some money.

As for the second sister, it's not safe to go back at night, with a child.

It's not too late to wait until dawn.

Anyway, there is no rush for this day and a half.

After Li Muyang and his second sister went downstairs to send everyone away, Li Xiangxiang was about to go upstairs, but Li Muyang stopped her.

Seeing no one around, he took out a small cloth bag that he had prepared earlier from his pocket and handed it to the second sister.

Li Xiangxiang curiously took the cloth bag and touched it. It felt hard and she didn't know what it was.

"What, Shepherd?"

"open to take a look."

Li Xiangqin carefully opened the cloth bag under the light of the hospital hall. After just one glance, she was startled. She quickly closed the cloth bag and stuffed it into Li Muyang's hand.

"What are you doing, Shepherd? Where did you get so much money, and what are you doing with it?"

"Second sister, it's not much, just 500 yuan. I thought about your house later, and I still can't give up. If you can, you have to fight for it. If you miss this opportunity, I don't know where I will be next time."

"What are you talking about? It's just a house. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time...

By the way, where did you get so much money?
Didn't you already spend a lot on your mother's medical treatment this time? How could you still get so much out of it? "

"It's really not much. I'm just saving up to get married. Now that the time has moved to the end of the year, I still have half a year. I can save up to 500 yuan by then."

"What are you saying that is unfounded? How do you save money? You are not someone who makes a lot of money. This is hard-earned money. Even if there is still half a year, can you save 100 yuan a month?"

"It should be possible."

"Whatever you can, stop talking nonsense, I can't have it.

After all, your brother-in-law and I are still working and making money, and we have more connections than you. Let’s think of a solution. "

"Second sister..."

Li Muyang took the second sister's hand and put the cloth bag into her hand again.

"Why are you so polite? We are siblings, so you are making things difficult for us.

We all don’t have much money, right? If you had money or I had money, then we wouldn’t have this trouble, right?

Since we don't have any money, we should help each other.

Money should be spent where it is needed most, right?
Tell me, which house can you get with just this amount of money, or give it away for free? You don’t know how tight the supply of houses will be in a few years..."

Li Muyang realized that he had spilled the beans, so he quickly stopped the car and changed his story:

"I think what my brother-in-law said is right. Isn't Fangfang too young? After all, she is a girl and it is inconvenient to do anything, right?
This is not the way to go.

Moreover, didn't you advance the money to the students this time? Although it is a good thing, my brother-in-law can understand it.

But after all, it affects our lives.

If I miss a good opportunity because of this, will my brother-in-law be more or less unhappy when he mentions this matter in the future?

It would be fine if there was no quarrel, but if there was any conflict, old scores would be settled.

So, just take it and treat it as if I lent it to you. When you slowly have it, you can return it to me. "

"But……"

"What's the matter? Don't feel sorry for yourself.

If you have any taboos, it would be to treat me as an outsider. I am your brother, not an outsider.

Just keep it like this...ah? "

Li Xiangxiang held the money in her hand and was once again shocked by Li Muyang's performance.

She couldn't figure it out, when did her honest and honest brother have such ability?
Combined with a series of events such as taking her mother to see a doctor recently, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable strangeness towards her brother.

Is this really her brother?

Even though the two of them no longer interact often, they are siblings after all, and she is confident that she still knows a lot about Li Muyang.

However, that is no longer certain.

She looked at her brother who was smiling and full of sincerity, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Second sister, just accept it. I have prepared it for you. If you don't want it, I will feel very uncomfortable, right?

You can advance money for students, why can't I support some money for my sister?
Could it be that our feelings are not as good as those of you and your students? "

"It's not the same thing..."

"This is actually the same truth..."

Li Muyang interrupted his sister, "The reason why you feel inappropriate is because you are too nice. You think about others first and don't think more about yourself. So you chose the students between yourself and the students.

And between yourself and me, choose me as your younger brother.

But, second sister, we grew up in the same family. If you have this character, I am not the same. If you can do it, then I can definitely do it.

You will definitely not regret it if you advance money for your students, and I will be equally happy to advance the cost of buying a house for my sister. "

Seeing that Li Xiangxiang was still hesitant, he lowered his voice and said, "Sister, we are siblings for life, so these are all small things. We will definitely live a better life in the future, and by then we will definitely not give up for just a few hundred dollars. Say no to each other.

But until that good day comes, we must support each other.Do you think this is true? "

Li Xiangxiang's eyes moved.

She was moved by her brother's sincerity.

This was her brother borrowing money from her, not from her. Why did he make it look like he was begging her?

She just thought that she couldn't take the money, and she hadn't thought about the actual situation at home.

Now that I have calmed down, those trivial things at home suddenly come to mind one by one.

She had to admit that she really needed this money.

As Muyang said, the advance payment was temporarily suppressed because of her mother's hospitalization, but it did not disappear.

When she and her husband calm down, they will still talk about this matter.

Especially, if you see other people’s families owning a house, you will probably say it over and over again.

At first, she would definitely not refute because of guilt, but as time goes by, she would definitely become upset...

There may be quarrels, and the family may fall out every now and then.

As a teacher, if the trouble continues like this, how will you teach the students? It will inevitably bring your bad mood to work.

Otherwise, just take it first, solve the current problem, and then return it to him when you save money again.

She thought about it.

Li Muyang had been staring at his sister, watching her expression gradually become less nervous and begin to relax.

I knew she was probably tempted.

He didn't rush to ask.

He didn't want his sister to take the money he supported, and he felt too burdened.

Everyone in their family is like this.

He has a straightforward and sensitive temperament, and a very strong self-esteem.

Just like in his previous life, he had a very bad life, but he still couldn't bear to accept help from others unless he had to.

It's just a matter of saving face and suffering.

But he has always regarded this way of living as his final bottom line.

He repeatedly taught the children that people should live with dignity and character, and that they should never lose their dignity as a human being because of anything at any time.

Perhaps, because the family is poor, the only thing they have is a straight spine.

Therefore, he can completely understand the intersection between heaven and man at this moment in his sister's life.

a long time.

Li Xiangxiang sighed.

"Mu Yang, I know you have good intentions, and I wanted you to get married. We don't even have a yard at home. If a girl comes to visit, there will be no way to explain it, so it's not convenient to take your money.

But you insisted on helping me, and the sister continued to push, which seemed too harsh.

I thought about it and decided that we would make a compromise. I don’t want your 500 yuan, so I’ll just take half and leave half for you.

With your half, and if we add a little more, it will be enough to pay for the house.

This is my bottom line. If you think it's okay, then accept it. If you still insist, then there is no need to discuss this matter. "

"Okay, sister!"

Li Muyang smiled and did not persist.

"Just 300, 250 is not a good number. It's not like we, brother and sister, are a pair of [-], right?"

Li Xiangxiang glared at him and smiled.

"Okay, then I will take 300 and try to return it to you at the end of the year so that it will not affect your normal rhythm of getting married."

"Okay, that's it."

Now that the discussion was settled, Li Xiangxiang opened the cloth bag, counted out three hundred yuan and put it in his pocket, and returned the rest to Li Muyang.

After the "deal" was completed, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The relationship between siblings has reached a new level at this moment.

Back in the ward, the eldest sister was still rubbing her mother's hands and talking.

Fangfang had fallen asleep on the small chair next to her.

This child also suffered a lot as his mother took care of his grandma.

But she is very sensible.

In addition to helping my mother with some small favors, I basically spend the rest of my time endorsing books.

He said he would take the exam to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future.

She was like this in her previous life, but her academic performance declined greatly after she reached junior high school. She barely passed the college entrance examination, and later became a middle school teacher like her mother.

At that time, the requirements for teachers in rural middle schools were still very low. They only needed to go to normal colleges and universities, which included distribution, and there was no need to take the teacher qualification certificate exam.

Seeing them come in, the eldest sister smiled and asked them why they were out for so long before coming back.

The two found an excuse to cover up for the time being.

The old lady in the bed next door was envious of the excitement here. She said that it would be better to have a daughter. She just didn't have a daughter. She lay in bed for so many days and couldn't find anyone to say thoughtful words to.

It was just another joke, so I didn’t mention it.
