This stepmother is a bit crazy

Chapter 14 rain boots
Seeing her asking him, Zhao Dakui, whose gaze suddenly met with Zhang Dalan's, blushed suddenly, grabbed his hair, glanced away and looked away, whispered "yes" angrily, and then grabbed the corners of his clothes on both sides with both hands. , dare not look at Zhang Dalan again.

"Then can you get one for me in the future? If so, just get one the same size as this one."

Zhang Dalan, who was focused on the cabinet, didn't notice anything unusual about Zhao Dakui.

Staring at the cabinet, she was already planning. After the cabinet was finished, she would put her teapot, toothbrush and other things in it.

Then the cabinet will be placed next to your shop, which is convenient to use.

"can."

"How much?"

Zhao Dakui thought about what her mother said, so she shouldn't charge her for the gloves given by Jiang Linran.

If Jiang Linran really wants to give it, just give him a few cents and just show his willingness. Anyway, the wood is his own, so it just takes some work.

Therefore, when Zhang Dalan asked, he almost blurted out, "Fifty cents."

Fortunately, when he looked around, he saw several other educated youths in the room looking at him eagerly, and he stopped the car in time.

"You have to ask my mother to know this. I am only responsible for beating."

"Okay, I'll ask my aunt when I see her, and then I'll ask Comrade Zhao to give me a shot when he has time."

Zhao Dakui, who stood so close to Zhang Dalan for the first time, couldn't help his heart beating again. He was afraid that something was wrong, so he nodded in a hurry and left.

If he didn't leave, he felt like his heart would jump out of his throat because it was beating so fast.

Jiang Linran put all his miscellaneous things, such as towels, malted milk, white rabbits, peach cakes, and brown sugar twists, into a low cabinet and locked it with a lock.

Put the key in your pocket and feel at ease.

It wasn't just once or twice that she saw Qi Yanzhen wandering beside her shop. Once, she caught her hand and put it outside her package, where he touched her furtively.

After Jiang Linran had packed up, he took out the high school Chinese textbook he bought during the day, sat on the bed and read through it carefully.

"Are you reading high school Chinese?"

Next to Jiang Linran, Chen Tingting, who was mending clothes against the quilt, hesitated for a long time before asking.

"Yeah, since I have nothing to do, I might as well learn more."

"What's the use of learning it? Besides, do you know the words above? Why are you pretending to be a cultured person here? You are obviously from the countryside and haven't even finished elementary school. This is what your sister said to all of us."

Jiang Linran slowly closed the book and raised his head. His fair skin was slightly reddened by the dim oil lamp, and he looked at Qi Yanzhen with full eyes.

“Learn something and hold it in your mind, and the empty space will be filled with water.

Whether I am literate or not is none of your business.

At the end of the day, I won’t stare at people who are better than me all day long.

Also, if you believe what that family says, then why don’t you go and eat shit when they ask you to do so. "

"You're talking nonsense, they won't tell me to eat shit."

Several other people in the room couldn't help but smile when they heard this, but they were afraid that Qi Yanzhen would see it, so they turned their heads to the side awkwardly, raised their hands to cover their mouths, and kept uncontrollable shoulders. sensational.

Li Aihong also smiled, but she quickly controlled herself and acted like a big sister: "We are all comrades living together. We may not say anything right. Don't care so much. Be more open-minded and tolerant. .”

Jiang Linran glanced at Li Aihong who was looking back and ignored her.

Standing up, holding the book: "Sister Dalan, I'm going to look outside. Do you want to study with me? I remember that you graduated from junior high school."

"I...I'm afraid that if I can't learn it, my grades won't be very good."

"It's okay. Anyway, I just learn to play and kill time without taking exams." Jiang Linran took Zhang Dalan with him to the main room.

He lit the kerosene lamp and handed the book to Zhang Dalan: "Read it slowly and ask me if you don't understand. If I don't understand it, let's ask others together."

"Oh well!"

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Dalan slowly sat down, picked up the Chinese language book and read through it.

At the beginning, Zhang Dalan really couldn't see it, but seeing how seriously Jiang Linran looked at it, it was hard to say that he couldn't see it.

Bite the bullet, slowly read and understand bit by bit.

A few days later, Zhang Dalan was surprised to find that he was slowly able to see and understand a little. He couldn't help but wonder why he couldn't learn well if there was a teacher to teach him.

But he never thought that he had been helping his mother with housework, washing, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of her younger siblings since she was a child.

blink of an eye.

The strong labor force in the village is about to go to the commune to build water conservancy projects.

Jiang Linran secretly gave Zhang Honghua a pair of long black rain boots while Zhao Dakui hadn't left yet.

After resisting for a long time, he accepted Zhang Honghua's fifty cents.

Zhang Honghua held the rain boots, thinking about the one dollar in the locker that Jiang Linran had taken earlier, and pulled Jiang Linran reluctantly.

"Xiaoran, Auntie, leave your words here. From now on, if anyone in this village comes to trouble you, just come to Auntie and Auntie will make the decision for you."

"Thank you auntie."

Zhao Mingquan held his rain boots, and his opinion of Jiang Linran was that the little girl was capable.

I'm afraid the whole brigade can't find such a pair of rain boots.

But because of this, these rain boots seem a bit irritating when worn out.

After pondering for a long time, he said to Zhang Honghua, his two sons and daughter Zhao Xiaoyan: "When someone asks you about it in the future, just say that your cousin brought these rain boots to someone from the city. Do you know?"

"Got it, Dad."

Zhao Dakui and the others nodded in unison.

Zhang Honghua was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what the old man meant. He didn't want to cause trouble to Jiang Linran.

"You are still thoughtful. If anything happens to her in this village in the future, we will all help take care of it. It is not easy for a little girl to come here."

Zhao Xiaoyan went up and touched the rain boots, and said with itch, "Mom, can I try it?"

Zhang Honghua chuckled and said, "You go ahead and try." Not to mention the child who wanted to try, she also wanted to.

Zhao Xiaoyan took one, took off her shoes, put on her rain boots, and pinned her trousers into the boots.She stood up and lifted her feet. The rain boots were too big and too long, dangling on her feet and about to fall off. She quickly hooked her feet and stood there independently.

How many other people looked at it was funny.

Looking at it, Zhao Chenglin also picked up the other one with great interest and put it on his feet.

The two brothers and sisters were walking around the house dressed one by one.

"Why don't you just stay at home and dress dad."

Zhao Dakui, who has always been filial, looked at the funny and fond expressions of his brothers and sisters, and narrowed his eyes happily.

"No, I won't use it at home. If you go to the embankment, your feet will be soaked in water and mud all day long. Put this on and your feet will feel better."
