Chapter 190 Brother, don’t you know that the consultant is okay?
Jiang Xiaoning left dejectedly. There were still dozens of miles to go home, and it was painful to think about it in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
Li Ye said funnyly: "You are so powerful as the eldest sister of the family! I didn't notice that you were so powerful before."
"If you weren't more powerful, you wouldn't be bullied. Die."
Jiang Xiaoyan frowned at first, and after seeing what Li Juan was holding, she said sheepishly: "You don't have to come over, the New Year's Eve will cause you more trouble."
Li Ye waved his hand and said: "You are out of sight now. If I hadn't heard from my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have known that your mother was here in the hospital. Is it okay, auntie?"
Jiang Xiaoyan's face suddenly dimmed, worried. He said: "Pneumonia, the doctor said that you need to be on a drip for at least a week."
In the 1980s, ordinary people would just take medicine if they were sick. It's a serious illness, so Jiang Xiaoyan has been worried even when sleeping for the past two days.
Li Ye and Li Juan entered the ward, and it turned out that Chen Jinhua happened to be asleep. Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to wake her up, but Li Ye stopped her.
"Your mother is too weak now, let her sleep more! My grandma said that she will send some millet porridge or something in the next few days, don't be polite to me"
"I really don't want to be polite to you," Jiang Xiaoyan said calmly: "After my mother recovers from her illness, I want to take her to the capital. See if you can talk to Brother Peng and give my mother a letter of introduction. Okay. Rent a house for her.”
Li Ye was surprised. She looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Are you serious? Do you really want your mother to open a noodle shop in the capital? You have to endure hardships when you go out."
Jiang Xiaoyan said with a smile: "You also have to endure hardships at home. , I have to endure hardships in the capital, I would rather my mother-in-law It's better to suffer under my nose than to lie on the kang like this without anyone caring about you."
"Then just think about it," Li Ye agreed without hesitation: "Anyway, we have a yard in the capital. , let your mother see where she wants to live when the time comes. "My son, Jin Peng, Uncle Hong, and Lao Song are all here, so I can take care of you."
Jiang Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly and said, "I think so too. I owe you one more time, but I owe you." If you have too much debt, you won’t have to worry about it.”
Li Ye joked and said with a smile: "You don't owe me anything. The rent is one yuan and a half a month, and you have to pay it at the end of the month!"
Li Ye's "stingy" behavior made Jiang Xiaoyan feel a lot more comfortable. He nodded vigorously to agree.
Actually, she came to Li Ye to look after her mother, Chen Jinhua.
After all, it would be difficult for a woman to live in the capital with an unfamiliar place, but having a group of fellow villagers from Qingshui County look after each other made her feel more at ease.
She must owe this love. At worst, she can just pay it back twice as much in the future.
Jiang Xiaoyan felt a lot more relaxed after finishing the important matter that was on her mind.
She looked at the old woman in the ward who was still awake, and said to Li Ye: "Can you help take care of my mother for two hours? I'll go sell the bicycle and I'll be back soon."
Li Ye couldn't help laughing and said: "Are you going to completely draw a clear line with your family? Why don't you ask your mother if she is willing?"
Jiang Xiaoyan shook her head and said: "We If the two of us live a prosperous life, we can’t stop it even if we kill them. If we live a bad life, even if we kneel down and beg them, we won’t get any benefit.”
“.”
Li Ye looked at Jiang Xiaoyan's stubborn eyes, nodded, and said softly: "The more you live, the more you understand."
. . . . .
Jiang Xiaoyan pushed her bicycle to the market in the west of the county.
It is now the twenties of the twelfth lunar month, and there are spontaneous markets in Qingshui County every day. She is going to sell her bicycle now to give her husband and wife some support to live in the capital.
There are also a few bicycles selling in the market, but they are either rusty or missing parts and have paint peeling off. They are not on the same level as Jiang Xiaoyan’s 99-new model.
Jiang Xiaoyan has been doing sales promotion in Beijing for so long, and she has also learned a simple and direct method. She takes a piece of cardboard and writes "New car 190 yuan" and directly inserts it on the handlebar.
This immediately attracted a lot of questions.
“Girl, are you selling this bicycle?”
“Well, one hundred and ninety yuan, no price.”
“Your bicycle is not new. Yes, it’s all stamped and branded.”
"It's less than two months old, and it's just like a new one."
"A new car is only less than 160, and you're selling it for 190, it's too expensive."
"It's too cheap. Sell."
"."
Jiang Xiaoyan understands that the more others dislike your things, the more they want to buy them, and the shorter and more powerful their answers will be.
If the seller is constantly bickering with the buyer, he or she will not be able to get a good price.
So Jiang Xiaoyan just kept her head down and ignored her. Anyway, the car was locked and no one else could take it away. She wanted to buy it or not.
Many people have taken a fancy to Jiang Xiaoyan’s bicycle, but the price is indeed a bit high. But if there is a bicycle ticket, who will come to buy a bicycle?
"Jiang Xiaoyan, is this bicycle yours?"
A brother and sister suddenly stood in front of Jiang Xiaoyan, and the elder sister asked Jiang Xiaoyan in surprise.
Jiang Xiaoyan raised her head and saw that it was Lu Jingyao and her brother Lu Zixue.
“Yes, it’s mine.”
Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at Lu Jingyao and almost responded with her nose.
Lu Jingyao clearly felt Jiang Xiaoyan's displeasure with her, and wanted to leave in embarrassment, but her brother Lu Zixue held her sleeve.
In the entire market, Jiang Xiaoyan’s Phoenix is the only one, and it is almost brand new. After seeing this car, where else can I see it?
Lu Jingyao turned around helplessly and asked Jiang Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan, can you sell this bicycle to me?"
Jiang Xiaoyan said calmly: "This is not about selling your daughter, we have to choose a good family, who will pay for it?" Who will I sell the money to?"
"."
Lu Jingyao couldn't keep her face any longer, so she turned around and left.
She felt that Jiang Xiaoyan was connoting herself and that she had "sold" it to Li Ye in order to treat her mother.
When Lu Zixue saw his sister running away, he quickly caught up with her and insisted on buying Jiang Xiaoyan's Phoenix.
Phoenix Bicycle is a thorn in his heart. If he misses this one, who knows where the next one will be?
Lu Jingyao finally got fed up and cursed coldly: "Can't you go to school without a bicycle? Can't you live without a bicycle? We only have so much money at home, you have to spend it all, right? ?"
But Lu Zixue shouted: "You are going to study in the UK soon. You can earn a few pounds by working as a study student. How many bicycles can our family not afford?"
"."
The noisy market fell silent, and then burst into commotion.
"My dear, is this girl going to study abroad? She is actually going to the UK."
"Then when she goes to study abroad, isn't she just like Xu Lingjun's father in the Wrangler? She can make hundreds of millions. Millionaire?"< br>
“I don’t know, but I heard from my niece that it’s easy to earn money in foreign countries, and all those who wash dishes drive cars.”
Jiang Xiaoyan understood, Lu Zixue was showing off, This grandson is showing off to himself.
Studying abroad is very glorious, but what does it have to do with me?
"Bicycles for sale, a brand new Phoenix bicycle, price of NT$190, first come first served"
Jiang Xiaoyan, who had been squatting on the ground for a long time, suddenly started selling.
"Daughter, I only brought one hundred and sixty, so be it! You come with me, and I will collect thirty for you when I get home, okay?"
"I have one hundred here. Eight, sell it to me Nizi”
Several people who were interested in the bicycle couldn't hold back their anger and came over to snatch the bicycle one after another.
Lu Zixue said anxiously: "Sister, let's buy it! After you leave, if my mother has a headache or fever, I can rush back and forth to take care of you."
Lu Jingyao closed He closed his eyes and took a breath before calming down.
After she left Qingshui County in the summer, she originally planned not to come back, but after being selected as an international student, she traveled across the ocean. Not only did she not know her return date, but she also needed to come back to complete some procedures.
That’s why Lu Jingyao came back to see his father and mother.
As a result, she unexpectedly met an old friend, which disturbed her mind and made her extremely annoyed. "Hey, why is the lingering ghost of an irresolvable debt?"
Lu Jingyao took out all the money from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Zixue's hand, one foot deep and one foot deep. With shallow feet, he walked out of the market in a daze.
Lu Zixue didn’t care what happened to his sister. He took the money and quickly ran to Jiang Xiaoyan and counted the money directly to Jiang Xiaoyan.
“One hundred and ninety yuan, a penny is a lot.”
Jiang Xiaoyan took the money coldly and threw the key to Lu Zixue.
Then she looked at the shaky back in the distance and snorted: "Sooner or later you will be exhausted!"
. . . . . .
When Jiang Xiaoyan returned to the county hospital, Chen Jinhua was already awake and chatting and laughing with Li Ye and Li Juan.
Jiang Xiaoyan is a little confused. How can two people who are more than twenty years apart and whose status is very different talk so harmoniously?
[Perhaps, this is what makes Li Ye so lovable! 】
Jiang Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, but finally called Li Ye outside and told him that Lu Jingyao was going to study in the UK.
"Li Ye, your English is actually better. You can also take the TOEFL test next year. I heard that you don't have to go to Hong Kong to take the TOEFL test now. You can take the test in Beijing."
"Why should I take the TOEFL test? I'm not planning to study abroad."
"."
Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I thought you were better than Lu Jingyao. I thought you and Wen Leyu would consider studying abroad."
Li Yehun said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter who is better than who. Whether to study abroad, let’s talk about you Xiaoyan Don’t be blinded by illusions,
What is good in foreign countries belongs to foreigners after all, and our country is the place to take root and grow.”
Waiting until Li Ye and Li Juan left. , Jiang Xiaoyan was thinking about what Li Ye said.
Now is the time to study abroad. Which college student doesn’t want to study abroad? The classmates in Jiang Xiaoyan's school were all scrambling for a spot.
As a result, someone like Li Ye, who is capable and has a backdoor, and can almost be said to be "easily available", wants to take root in China, which is really confusing.
Especially when Jiang Xiaoyan mentioned "Lu Jingyao" very carefully, Jiang Xiaoyan was even more impressed by Li Ye's indifferent and calm look.
Only when you can take things up and put them down can you be a real man.
But then Jiang Xiaoyan thought of the radiant Wen Leyu and the obviously tired Lu Jingyao, and made a decision.
“A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise!”
"Yan'er, what are you talking about? What horse? What blessing?"
"A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Mother, what this means is that although you suffer a loss now, you may not be unable to enjoy blessings in the future. So when you get better, come with me to the capital to enjoy the blessings"
"But What are you going to do about your brother and your father?”
“You can send them money! As long as you send them money, they will not let you come back.”
“ Well, you are right, your father is really that kind of person, but"
"Oh, don't give up."
While coaxing my mother, Jiang Xiaoyan made up her mind.
When he arrived in the capital, he implemented formal management and took away my financial power. If he wanted to send money home, it would depend on Jiang Xiaoyan’s face.
. . . . . . .
On the early morning of New Year’s Eve, a Jingcheng 130 parked in front of Li Ye’s house.
Jin Peng, Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Hong got out of the car and began to move things one by one from the car.
Hearing the commotion, Han Chunmei opened the door and was almost shocked when she saw a lot of New Year's goods at the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Auntie, we are sending New Year's gifts to Master! You can see which room to put them in, and we will move them in."
"Hey, our family doesn't accept gifts, just wait!"
Han Chunmei hurriedly went in and called Li Kaijian, and then alerted Director Li.
Li Zhongfa saw that it was Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang, and said with a straight face: "What kind of day are you sending New Year's goods? If you don't know, you think I am accepting bribes and gifts!"
"Hey, Master, aren't we back late! If anyone dares to say that you accepted a gift, I will come immediately to help him find out which eye is wrong."
Jin Peng was smiling, but he was very worried in his heart. It's a grievance.
In order to make money for your grandson, we were busy until yesterday afternoon when we closed the door. We drove from the capital for more than ten hours overnight, and you still disliked us.
Grandma Wu Juying couldn't stand it anymore and said to Jin Peng: "Don't listen to your master's nonsense. He just likes to show off. Jin Peng looks at what you are wearing. You must be doing well outside this year!
< br>The other day I met your future wife, hey, she was so fashionable, others said she was the boss’s wife!”
“Not bad, not bad.”
Jin Peng. While stroking his scalp and answering sarcastically, he complained in his heart.
Your grandson is the big boss. Your granddaughter-in-law is much more awesome than the boss lady.
But when Wu Juying saw Wang Jianqiang, she couldn't help but frowned: "Qiangzi, have you been wronged outside?"
Wang Jianqiang said with a naive smile: "Mistress , I’m not wronged, I’m just a driver for others, so I’m dressed like this.”
Wu Juying looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was covered in old clothes, and couldn’t help complaining to Jin Peng: “Qiangzi has a real heart, you have The good thing is to think about him. If you wait for him to fight for it, how can you win over those who are quick-sighted? "
"Ahem, what do you know, you old woman, hurry up and get some food."
Li Zhongfa coughed several times before rushing Wu Juying to the kitchen to make breakfast, which was a relief for Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang.
He is so old and sophisticated, why can't he see that Wang Jianqiang deliberately looks shabby?
Who is this for? Do you still need to ask?
"Xiaoye, Xiaoye, your senior brothers have been here for a long time and they are still lying in bed!"
Director Li Da's voice finally called Li Ye out from the warm bed.
When he saw Wang Jianqiang, he couldn't help but laugh.
There was a patch on the old cotton-padded jacket, and Deliang's trousers were a bit shorter. Even the pair of suede cotton boots were normal. This look was a bit joyful.
"Qiangzi, your brother Peng cleaned this up for you?"
"No, I did it myself, hehehe, brother, don't laugh at me."
Li Ye shook his head and laughed, but he didn't laugh in his heart.
The naive Wang Jianqiang also knows the principle of not exposing wealth.
"Qiangzi, you have to tell me, how much money do you plan to tell your family this year? Don't let your mother find out then."
Wang Jianqiang stretched out a finger and said : "The monthly salary of one hundred, after deducting food and drink, I have saved one thousand."
Li Ye nodded and said: "Then how much do you think your mother will leave you?"
Wang Jianqiang He lowered his head and smiled, and stretched out three fingers in embarrassment.
“Three hundred? Or thirty?”
"Brother, can you please stop asking me questions knowingly?"
Thanks to book friend "Firefly Star" for the 500-coin reward, and thanks to my brother for his generosity.
