Winner in life

Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough. Ruihe just listened to this and didn't take it to heart. He just asked: "Where is my elder brother? Why didn't he come?"

Zhang Dasao's face turned green again. She put the cup down heavily and stared at Ruihe: "Really not lending?"

Ruihe wiped the splashed water with a rag, and said while wiping: "When the family was divided, my elder brother gave me 20 yuan, and I gave 80% of my salary for the four months after entering the factory to my elder brother. Excluding the cost of buying food, there should be at least 100 yuan left in the family after the division? This is what I earned. I don't know how much my parents left. Anyway, it was my elder brother who took care of it at that time. I didn't say much and didn't care, but my elder sister-in-law thought I was easy to bully. It was almost the New Year and she came to my house to talk nonsense with me and put the shit pot on my head." As he said this, he looked up at Zhang Dasao, with a sharpness in his eyes that Zhang Dasao had never seen before.

"How about I go outside and beat the gongs and drums to invite all the villagers to come over, and let everyone judge why I didn't care about your life or death."

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she was gasping for breath. She looked at her brother-in-law who was suddenly eloquent in disbelief: "You threatened me?"

"Mrs. Zhang, you threatened me first." Ruihe stood up, "I'm going to wash the quilt. If you're okay, go back first."

Seeing Mrs. Zhang slam the door and go out angrily, Ruihe took the quilt out to wash without much care. She could have talked to him nicely, but she didn't. Mrs. Zhang thought she could still control herself, but she was daydreaming. Although he didn't want to make things too awkward with his original relatives, he didn't worry about that being his original eldest brother, but just didn't want to cause trouble for himself. The concession of splitting the family was also a decision made when he was alone and wanted to split the family smoothly without any complications. He didn't regret what he did at the beginning, but it didn't mean that he would make concessions today.

The concessions made that day were the reason for him to reject Zhang Dasao today. No matter who he told him, he was right.

"But what on earth do Dasao and the others want to do with the two hundred yuan?" Ruihe thought about it and was puzzled. After the separation, because they lived close to each other, he could still hear what was going on next door, such as purchasing large furniture, spending a lot of money on illness, etc., but there was no movement in Zhang Dashan's house. Zhang Dashan had at least one hundred yuan in savings, and now he asked him for two hundred. Could it be that he wanted to buy a house?

"Xiaoshan?"

Ruihe came back to his senses and found that it was Xu Caiheng who arrived. He quickly welcomed him in: "Hurry up and sit down and have some water."

"This time the orange jam tastes better than last time." Xu Caiheng praised, and the two began the class.

After today's class was over, Xu Caiheng said that he was going to get married on the 28th and invited Ruihe to have candy. This news was too sudden!

"Are you getting married? Who's the bride?"

"It's Qingnan. The wedding will be held at Chiyu Lane, Xiaogangjiao, at noon on the 28th. You must come."

"Definitely!"

"I won't come tomorrow. You should finish these three papers in the next few days."

After seeing Xu Caiheng off, Ruihe started to walk around the house. He had bought half a pound of sesame cake and half a pound of brown sugar cake in town, intending to give Xu Caiheng a New Year gift. Now that he suddenly heard that he was getting married, this gift was too small. Xu Caiheng was really dedicated in teaching him. If he didn't understand anything, he could ask, and he would tell him carefully. He made rapid progress in the past year and has learned to the level of the fifth grade. Xu Caiheng has made great contributions.

He put the two packs of snacks on the table, looked left and right, and there was indeed no other gift to congratulate the newlyweds. In the middle of the year, Li Dashui's eldest sister Li Damei got married. He went to the banquet. When he met relatives and friends, they all gave cloth, enamel pots, thermos, sheets, etc. At that time, he also gave a thermos. This time when Xu Caiheng got married, he planned to buy a pair of enamel pots with double happiness characters printed on them. Finally, he would give a five-yuan gift money, which should be enough.

After dinner, Ruihe went to Li Dashui to talk about this and asked him to go out together. Li Dashui patted his chest and agreed. He loved going out to play the most. He was very happy when his good friend didn't have to go to class to ask him to go out together. "Qingnan's name is so familiar. Do you know Xiaoshan?"

Ruihe shook his head: "I only heard Mr. Xu mention it once, and I know that they are dating."

The next morning, Li Dashui knocked on Ruihe's door: "I also brought money to see if there is anything else I can buy."

"Aunt didn't mention you?" Li Dashui's money was all with Aunt Xiu'e.

"Hey! My mother said that men can't go out empty-handed, otherwise they will have no confidence in doing anything. She gave me five yuan! Let me buy it and use it to visit relatives during the New Year."

The two walked to the town. When chatting on the way, Li Dashui took the initiative to talk about Xu Caiheng's blind date. "What a coincidence, my mother knows her. It turns out that she is Zhang Qingnan, who is also from our village and lives near the port. I heard that she is the fifth child in the family, with two older sisters and two older brothers, and a younger brother."

The main area of ​​Shangmei Village is relatively round and regular, but a small area extending from the border with the mining road also belongs to Shangmei Village. That piece of land is close to the port, so it is usually called Xiaogangjiao.

Ruihe suddenly realized: "It turns out that she is from Xiaogangjiao, no wonder I don't have any impression of her." He has no relatives there and usually doesn't go there.

"Really! I don't have any impression either, but my mother has seen her and said that she is a good girl who works very well." Li Dashui frowned, "My mother doesn't say whether she is beautiful or not. I am really afraid that my mother will find me a partner who works very well but looks like a female demon. Then I will cry to death."

"Don't talk nonsense." Ruihe couldn't help but knock him, "I think what my aunt said is right, it's better to be able to work, you two can work together to save money, and live a prosperous life in the future, can you eat or drink with your face?"

That's what his mother said before, it's right.

Marry a virtuous wife.

Li Dashui covered his ears with a cry: "Why do you say that? We are good brothers, you have to stand on my side..."

Ruihe couldn't help laughing: "On the way, the children on the side of the road are laughing at you."

The two of them talked and laughed as they walked into the city. They didn't feel tired even after walking for two hours. Ruihe quickly bought two enamel pots, but when he was about to leave, he saw a counter suddenly crowded with people, and many people squeezed there.

"What's wrong?"

"There are scraps of cloth for sale! No tickets are needed!"

Hearing the conversation between others, Ruihe and Li Dashui's eyes lit up, and they rushed over to squeeze and buy. There are too few cloth coupons! How can there be enough for so many people in the family? Three years new, three years old, and three years old, and three years old, and three years old, is really not a joke. The winter clothes Ruihe is wearing now are the ones he gave back from Zhang Dashan. This year, he has worn them for four years. They are too short to be lengthened and too torn to be mended. Therefore, Ruihe bought new thick cotton cloth to make winter clothes.

As for the 12-foot thin cotton cloth bought at the end of last year, in the middle of this year, he gave Aunt Xiu'e 50 cents to help cut and make a pair of trousers, a vest and a pair of shorts, all of which were made wide. He couldn't bear to throw away the remaining scraps of cloth, so he kept them to make two pairs of thousand-layer sole shoes and continue to make patches. He was reluctant to use those cloths, but this year's work was too busy. The clothes were always worn out when moving bamboo and weaving. In the hot summer, he worked from morning to night, and the sweat soaked the clothes. That's why he had to make new clothes.

It is said that the department store occasionally sells scraps of cloth, the price is low and no tickets are required, but Ruihe has never had the opportunity to catch up. This time, he was lucky enough to come across it, and it would be a pity not to buy some.

As a result, the two young men were so tall that they could hardly squeeze past the other female customers! Ruihe barely managed to grab three bundles of rags and spent fifty cents. The rags were tied together with ropes. One bundle was about as thick as an adult man's arm and as long as a palm. The colors were all messy. However, the customers who grabbed the rags were all smiling, thinking that they had grabbed a great bargain.

Ruihe was also happy. Now he had materials to patch the sheets and make a few more pairs of thousand-layer soles for next spring and summer. Summer shoes are too wasteful. In addition, he could get a towel by patching them together.

Li Dashui said bitterly: "I only grabbed one bundle." He was strong and his height was not very tall like his parents, about 1.65 meters. The crowd was crowded and there were many female comrades, so Li Dashui did not dare to squeeze in.

Buying rags was a pleasant surprise, and today's shopping trip was a complete success. Ruihe and Li Dashui planned to return to the village, but unexpectedly saw someone secretly selling clothes in the alley on the way back.

"Brother, do you want to buy clothes?"

There was a little girl at the entrance of the alley. When she saw them passing by, she ran over and asked in a low voice, and introduced them, "These are clothes from Shanghai!"

Shanghai.

Ruihe wanted to take a look at the clothes from big cities, and so did Li Dashui, so the two walked into the alley.

After work, Ruihe and Li Dashui squatted in the pond to wash their hands and feet. Li Dashui looked around and asked again: "Xiaoshan, do you really not like Lu Peiyin? Didn't you like her very much before, saying that she was beautiful and had a sweet voice?"

Ruihe nodded quickly and looked at Li Dashui seriously again: "Yeah!"

"Okay." Li Dashui muttered, "Actually, I think it's better for you not to like her. She is too beautiful and popular. I heard that Yongshu from the second team also likes her. It's not that I don't support you, brother, but Yongshu is indeed better than you. I don't think you can compete with him. It's better to give up now, so as not to be sad in the future..."

After listening to Li Dashui's words, Xu Ruihe felt warm in his heart and felt that Li Dashui was really a good person. He patted the good man's shoulder and said, "Let's go home."

The two shook their wet hands and went home. On the way, Li Dashui asked, "Why don't you like to talk anymore? I haven't heard you say more in the past two days. You speak one word at a time. Is your throat uncomfortable?"

"Yeah, throat, uncomfortable." Ruihe carefully peeked at Li Dashui. Seeing that Li Dashui did not doubt him, but looked at him worriedly, he couldn't help but smile, and sighed in his heart again that he was really a simple and kind person.

After saying goodbye to the good man Li Dashui, Ruihe returned to his own home. When he entered the door, he saw the original sister-in-law busy at the stove. He quickly greeted her: "Sister-in-law." The sister-in-law hummed and stirred the pot coldly. It smelled sweet potato porridge again. A few days ago, they dug sweet potatoes and their family was divided into three large bags. He weighed a bag of fifty or sixty kilograms, so the family has been eating sweet potatoes these days.

He knew he couldn't have lunch yet, so he picked up the broom at the door and continued sweeping. After a while, Brother Zhang called him, "Come in and eat!"
