Haichuan took out a few scattered bills from his pocket, about five or six yuan, and a few bills.
"My grandfather said that in addition to buying some fat meat to boil into oil, I also need to buy two taels of lamp oil. I will also ask the eldest sister to pick out a piece of fabric for me. I will call the director aunt (the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary Zhao Yongqing and the women's director) tomorrow to give it to me. I’ll make a pair of pants.”
Yun Shu glanced at Haichuan speechlessly. Master Wang had given him everything, how could she refuse?
"It's a mountain road of more than ten miles. If you and Da Zhuang can't walk, I will throw you two on the roadside."
Although Yun Shu said this, he still stuffed two more big buns into the oil paper wrapped in cloth, and asked Da Zhuang to carry a military kettle and take the two brats to Aunt Zhao's house to call Zhao Xiaoman.
Aunt Zhao is a girl from the Lang family in Changbai Village. It is said that she is related to the Jin family. Aunt Zhao's great-aunt is the daughter-in-law of the Jin family and the grandmother of her ancestor (great-grandfather).
Second Aunt Zhao is five years older than Da Ya Niang. Although she is from the same village, because Jin Shunxin went out with her parents when she was young and also studied in the town after she came back, she is not close to her neighbors in Changbai Village. .
Although the Lang family and the Jin family are related and they even married into the same village, the eldest girl has a job and doesn't like to visit each other, so the friendship between the two families is not deep.
Second Aunt Zhao married a cousin of Zhao Yongqing, the village party secretary, and Zhao Xiaoman was her third son, the same age as Yun Shu.
He is just a boy, and he and Da Ya can't play together, and there is an age difference between him and Da Zhuang. If the Lang family hadn't reported the news to Mr. Tong this time, the two families would have been like two parallel lines. What's the intersection?
However, because of their friendship with the Jin family, the Lang family reported to the Tong family, and Yun Shu accepted the favor. In addition, she also wanted to get close to the neighbors, while Aunt Zhao felt sorry for their three siblings. Without his parents at such a young age, the two families moved around much more frequently than before.
In the past, Da Zhuang only had a playmate like Haichuan. Although Haichuan had a good temper, he was more pretentious at a young age. Da Zhuang became the one who didn't need to use his brain and only needed his hands. He had too many limitations.
Yun Shu had to expand the scope of friendship for these two little kids who both had difficulty in making friends, and Zhao Xiaoman was the bridge to the outside world that Yun Shu was looking for.
…
When he arrived at Zhao Xiaoman's house, Da Zhuang called "Brother Zhao" at the door, and Zhao Xiaoman came out carrying an old schoolbag.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. My second brother has already left. Let's go too."
Zhao Xiaoman raised his chin a little arrogantly, and then shouted into the yard, "Mom, I'm going to school."
"Wait a minute. You've been careless all day. Did you bring your lunch?"
There was a loud sound in the yard, and then the sound of footsteps, and soon the door was pushed open again, and a woman in her 30s came out.
Although this woman is not as fair and beautiful as Da Ya's mother, she has a bright air of her own. She is Zhao Xiaoman's mother - Lang Qing.
Lang Qing handed the aluminum lunch box to his son and stuffed another cloth bag into Yun Shu's hand.
"You take Da Zhuang and Haichuan with you. Don't play on the road. It's best to come back with people you know in the village. There are a lot of photos now. Eat on the road, and don't eat things given by people you don't know."
As soon as Yun Shu took over the bag, he knew there were eggs in the bag and hurriedly handed it back.
"Auntie, I can't have this. I brought food with me." Nowadays, every family is not rich, so these eggs are probably saved from the mouths of the three brothers Zhao Xiaoman.
"You just take what my aunt gave me. No other aunt can take it out."
Zhao Xiaoman saw that the two of them still wanted to give in, so he grabbed the bag, grabbed Da Zhuang and Haichuan and ran away.
"You women are too lazy. Hurry up. You'll be late for school soon."
Lang Qing stared, smiled and cursed: "You brat, don't go home after school if you can." Then she pushed Daya and said, "Girl, you should go as well." "
Yun Shu recorded this feeling in his mind and said nothing more, "Auntie, I'm leaving." He also caught up with the three children in front of him.
Lang Qing looked at the backs of the children, sighed, and then spat in the direction of Wang Tiezhu's house. It was a biting dog that never barked.
If Daya hadn't made things worse, people in the village would have thought Tiezhu's wife was a good person!
…
On the other side, Yun Shu's four children, plus a few people called by Zhao Xiaoman, a total of nine children, all walked towards Dayangshu Village together.
In addition to Yun Shu, there is also a girl named Wang Chunling, 11 years old, who is still related to Yun Shu's family.
Wang Chunling's grandfather and Da Ya's grandfather were cousins. They fled together and settled in Qingxi Village together.
Wang Chunling's mother also had no children. Now her stepmother is in charge of the house. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. Wang Chunling has to work hard at home and she still doesn't have enough to eat.
In the past, Wang Chunling liked to play with Daya the most. Daya's mother was kind-hearted and always prepared more lunch for her daughter. Wang Chunling always ate from Daya's family.
But since Daya's parents passed away, Wang Chunling no longer plays with Daya, and she avoids them when she encounters them, which hurts Daya's little heart.
But now, seeing Yun Shu wearing new clothes and carrying a new schoolbag, Wang Chunling actually approached her again.
"Da Ya, don't blame me. I've always wanted to visit your house before, but you also know who my stepmother is..."
At such a young age, he actually knows how to speak half-heartedly and make people think.
Yun Shu didn't expect that even if he met the best relatives after his rebirth, he would actually have a scheming girl to add to his troubles, just like a bloody plot in a novel.
But Yun Shu was not in the mood to tease cats and dogs. If he had this time, he might as well make two sets of clothes for their little Zhuang.
So Yun Shu waved his hand very honestly, "Chunling, I don't blame you, it's okay if you don't visit me. But now my family is in trouble, look at when you will pay me back the money you borrowed before. I will give you two points." I don’t want it, but a few cents and a dollar add up to more than ten dollars. I want to talk to your mother some other time, it will save trouble when I meet you."
Da Zhuang looked at Wang Chunling with disgust next to Yun Shu. Her sister was like her mother, very kind-hearted.
He said before that Wang Chunling was not a good person, but his mother and sister still didn't believe it. This time, it was time to see people's hearts, and his sister finally saw through Wang Chunling's true face.
The other boys were impatient to listen to the girls chattering, but when they heard the astronomical figure of "more than ten yuan", they all looked at Wang Chunling in surprise.
Wang Chunling was not very old after all, so when people looked at her like this, and then heard Yun Shu say she was looking for her stepmother, their expressions changed.
"Da Ya, why are you blind? Since when have I ever cared about you borrowing money?"
After hearing this, Da Zhuang couldn't help but push her, "Who are you? You always told my sister that your stepmother only let you go to school for the sake of face. She didn't buy you anything except tuition fees. You care about me?" How much money has your sister borrowed, but you don’t know how much money you have borrowed? What’s the matter, do you want to default on the debt?
None of the pens, notebooks, and erasers you use belong to my sister. The sandals on your feet, the red headband on your head, and the blouse on your body were all bought by my mother and father for my sister. "
Wang Chunling was so speechless by what Da Zhuang said that she immediately used her skill of "bringing rain to the pear blossoms" and ran away crying after saying "You are bullying people".
But Zhao Xiaoman finally looked at Yun Shu with a straight face this time, bared his teeth and said, "Were you such a tiger before?"
Yun Shu's heart was filled with jealousy at this moment, and she could no longer defend herself, because she also felt that this girl Daya was indeed a bitch.
