portable space
Chapter 9 Cai Xiaomei
Just when Zhang Taiping was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep, a crisp and cheerful voice came into his ears.
"Sister, I'm back."
Then there was a "Huh?" sound. I was very puzzled and surprised by the sight of Yaya sleeping in Zhang Taiping's arms.
When he met Zhang Taiping's open eyes, he turned his head away with a "hum", ignored him, and focused on talking to his sister.
Sister-in-law Cai Xiaomei.
Zhang Taiping touched his nose nonchalantly and didn't take it seriously. He smiled and looked at the happy scene of the two sisters meeting each other.
My sister is as gentle as water, like a girl from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and has the mature and charming style of a young woman. My sister is youthful and beautiful, with a slight taste of pepper. From the way she speaks and moves, it can be seen that she is a lively and smart person. Who is as good as her in figure?
The plumpness makes people think, but the beauty is youthful and full of enthusiasm.
She is slightly shorter than her sister, standing at 1.7 meters, which is considered tall among girls. The washed white jeans highlight the slender and straight legs. The upper body is matched with a plaid shirt. The ponytail is tied up casually.
At the back of the head.
Although he is dressed in street stalls with no more than a hundred bucks, he is not necessarily shabby. He gives the impression that he is clean, tidy, free and easy.
His wife Cai Yazhi gestured and asked: "Why are you back today? Don't you have enough money?"
Cai Xiaomei took her sister's hand and said: "Sister, today is September 30th, tomorrow is the National Day, and the school has a five-day holiday. You don't have to worry about money in the future, and don't save it. I will give it to you if you have money.
I bought some food and clothes with Yaya, and the money I finally saved was wasted by some people."
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Zhang Taiping under the eaves.
Zhang Taiping squinted his eyes and pretended not to see or hear, and continued to listen.
The wife ignored the second part of the sentence, frowned, and hurriedly gestured and asked: "What about your living expenses? You don't want it, don't go out..."
Cai Xiaomei interrupted her sister's actions in a dumbfounded way and said, "Sister, what are you thinking about? I just found a tutoring job outside, which is enough to support myself. I didn't go out to do bad things."
The wife then breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Is it safe? How much does it cost per month? Is it enough?"
"It's just near the school. Besides, I know kung fu, so I can take care of a few gangsters." Then he added, "The money is enough. You should put your mind at ease this time!"
The wife smiled and nodded.
When there was a car accident that year, Zhang's father, Zhang's mother, and Cai's father and Cai's mother were in the accident together.
At that time, my wife Cai Yazhi was only thirteen years old, and she had a ten-year-old sister. My wife took on all the housework and farm work by herself, and gradually developed a character that was soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
The perpetrators paid each victim 20,000 yuan in compensation. It is very small, but this is the status quo. It cannot be denied that there are invisible classes in China. A city person’s life costs more than 20,000 yuan, which is different from “Da” and “Gui”.
Those who stick to the side are more valuable, but in the countryside a life is only worth 40,000 to 50,000. A collective car accident like this can be forcibly spent with 20,000 to 30,000.
Forty thousand yuan, Cai Xiaomei has slowly spent all her money on schooling in the past few years. Cai Xiaomei is still striving to become the first university in the small village in decades. Last year, she was admitted to the best papermaking major of Shaanxi University of Science and Technology.
The school is located in the University Park in the northern suburbs of Xi'an, not too far from home.
The children of the poor become masters early, and hardships make people mature.
After getting familiar with the surrounding environment in the first academic year, in the first semester of her sophomore year, which was just the beginning of this year, Cai Xiaomei found a tutoring job near the school.
I teach second grade students four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, alternating between math, English, and physics. It takes two hours each time and costs thirty yuan an hour. That’s nearly a thousand yuan a month.
.For her who can live comfortably for a month with 400 yuan, she can still have a balance of more than 500 yuan.
In the past, I relied on my sister's daily savings. Although she is only three years older, she is like an eldest sister. Now I can support myself, and I can't bear to ask for the hard-earned money that my sister has saved. When I come back, I can also bring it to my niece.
some small gifts.
If it wasn't for Cai Xiaomei's reminder, Zhang Taiping would have really forgotten that time flies so fast, and it's the National Day in a blink of an eye. In the countryside, I just remember that today is the second day of the ninth lunar month, and forget it habitually according to the solar calendar.
Tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there is a market in the town. It seems that I have to go out for a walk tomorrow. I will go to the market to stroll around, relax, and also inquire about the market to buy some seeds. Zhang Taiping thought in his mind.
After a while, Yaya woke up and was very happy to see her aunt. She slipped out of Zhang Taiping's arms and threw herself into her aunt's arms.
"Auntie, why are you back?"
Cai Xiaomei knelt down and picked up Yaya, rubbed her forehead against Yaya's pink smiling face and said, "Yaya, do you miss your aunt?"
"Yes! Yaya misses my aunt every day." Yaya raised her head and replied proudly.
"Good boy, my love for you is not in vain. Come on, do you like the gift my aunt gave you?" Cai Xiaomei said as she took out a box of colored pens and handed it to Yaya.
Yaya was overjoyed after taking the colored pen and kissed her aunt hard on the face. Then she twisted her little body in her arms and asked her to put her on the ground.
Yaya raised the colored pen to Zhang Taiping's eyes and said happily: "Dad, look, my aunt bought me the colored pen."
Zhang Taiping touched the little girl's silky hair and said with a smile: "Okay, Yaya will paint a picture for the kitten later."
Little Yaya's eyes lit up, she nodded, picked up the little squirrel that was still lying on Zhang Taiping's lap, ran to Miss Cai and said happily.
"Auntie, look, this is the little squirrel my father gave me. It's called Kitten. It was my name."
The innocent and childish voice made Zhang Taiping feel ashamed. As a father, he never remembered to buy a gift for his daughter. Even this little thing was given by his grandfather. But his daughter felt like a treasure and was showing off like this.
Cai Xiaomei grabbed the furry little thing and looked at Zhang Taiping in surprise. This was unprecedented, how could she not be surprised.
Cai Xiaomei took Yaya's little hand and walked into the house, gently closed the door and asked in a deliberately lowered voice.
"Did the big bad guy hit you during the time when your aunt was no longer around?"
Although the voice was as small as a mosquito or ant, it still reached Zhang Taiping's ears.
Since discovering the space, the body has been transformed by the aura emanating from the space at all times. The power has increased to a higher level, and even the five senses have become smarter and more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.
It was really disturbing at first. The mosquitoes flying by my ears were like airplanes roaring in my ears. I tasted a little bit of spicy food and was so spicy that I burst into tears.
After twenty days of adjustment, I am now able to adapt to the sudden increase in my ability, and I can freely change and adjust the sensitivity of my five senses.
You don't have to concentrate to hear the voice behind the door.
"Dad is not a bad guy. He treats Yaya very well. He also teaches Yaya how to write and tells stories to Yaya. He tells the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", the story of "Little Red Riding Hood", and the story of "Calabash Baby".
Yaya even gave half of his father's share to the kitten, and his father didn't even spank Yaya." The child didn't know how to lower his voice, but still said in the same crisp voice.
There was a smile on Zhang Taiping's lips, as if he could see little Yaya breaking her hands and counting them.
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, you little traitor. Are you rebelling just a few days ago?"
Cai Xiaomei pretended to be angry and said, and when she saw Yaya pursed her lips, she said again.
"Well, he is not a little traitor, and your father is not a big villain. So did he bully mother?"
Zhang Taiping couldn't help but laugh, haha, I didn't expect this sister-in-law to be talented in underground work.
"No, dad is also very good to mom, and he even helps mom dig sweet potatoes," little Yaya whispered like a thief.
"Oh?" Cai Xiaomei said nothing more.
Zhang Taiping quickly put away the smile on his lips.
Then the door opened, and Cai Xiaomei came out and looked at Zhang Taiping carefully, but she didn't feel any change. Well, it was just much quieter than before, with less rough and irritable atmosphere.
I didn't understand, so I didn't want to get into trouble, so I turned around and went into the house to help my sister make dinner.
Dinner is shepherd's purse and egg dumplings. Two people are better than one, and they are ready before dark.
The dumplings were taken out of the pot and placed in a basin. Four people sat cross-legged on the Kang around the basin, each holding a small bowl filled with chili sauce and vinegar.
The amount of dumplings in the basin weighed at least three kilograms. Calculating the price in the city, one kilogram was 18 yuan, so half a basin would be worth more than 50 yuan. But in the countryside, it doesn't cost anything, it just takes a little time.
That’s all.
Countryside people yearn for the splendid high-rise buildings in the city, while city people envy the self-sufficiency, green and natural scenery of the countryside. There is indeed something like Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Besieged" in it.
After dinner, Cai Xiaomei was going to sleep in the room opposite, but Zhang Taiping stopped her.
He turned around and said nothing, staring at Zhang Taiping coldly.
Zhang Taiping felt quite unnatural, touched his nose, and said bravely.
"The house opposite has been unoccupied for a long time. It's inconvenient and unsafe for you to be alone at night, so just sleep with your sister and Yaya. I'll sleep in the back room."
After saying that, without waiting for Cai Xiaomei to react, she went to the back room and closed the middle door.
Cai Xiaomei frowned and watched Zhang Taiping leave, without speaking for a long time. Her sister had been married for more than five years, and this was the first time she stayed at home overnight. Although her home was not far across the street, it was a matter of mind. Today I always feel that this brother-in-law
It's weird, like a different person.
Zhang Taiping has been sleeping alone on the bed in the back room for the past few decades.
It's not that Zhang Taiping has any unspeakable physical illness, but that he can't overcome his psychological difficulties. Although he is already the master of this body and has sworn in his heart that he will take good care of his wife and daughter and encourage himself no matter what, but
I always feel guilty every time I go into battle.
When I came to the central courtyard, I punched until I was sweating profusely, venting my anger after seeing that I couldn't eat for more than 20 days. After that, I took a cold shower with cold water and felt refreshed.
Sitting under the osmanthus tree, looking at the rare sky full of stars in the city through the shades, I sighed in my heart: I'd better go get the marriage certificate as soon as possible, put on some banquets, and give myself an explanation. If I hold it in like this, sooner or later something will happen to me.
.
I have been married for five years and I still haven’t received a marriage certificate. If you get married in the mountains, just set up a few banquets and ask the villagers to be witnesses. The marriage certificate is secondary. In small villages, children will run all over the mountains without a marriage certificate.
few.
Besides, Yaya should apply for a household registration as soon as possible, otherwise she will have a lot of trouble going to school and so on.
