Chapter 7 (2/2)
Hearing her sister's report, Mei Xiaolei also ran out of the room happily, ”sister, how many points did you get in the exam? Did we all get into No.3 middle school? ”
”Of course, your sister didn't do as well as you did. I only got more than 150 points.”
Mei Xiaoran is proud of her younger brother. In any case, she has never surpassed her brother in exams since primary school, and there is no jealousy.
”That's good. You're really up to it!”
Mei Zhonghua rubbed her hands excitedly. After thinking about it, she took out two dimes from her pocket. A child gave her a dime. ”This is the reward that dad gave you. You can take it to buy sugar.”
Thank you, Dad
The two brothers and sisters happily seized the money and went to the buffet.
Mei Zhonghua rubbed her big hands happily and laughed again and again. Li Cuiping, next door, heard the quiet movement and said, ”brother Mei, you two children are very competitive. You must support these two children to go to school well.”
”That's for sure. I'll have to let both of them go to school even if they sell iron.”
In this era, a lot of children can't afford to read books. There are not many students who can finish primary school, and even less can get into junior high school. Now the children are admitted to junior high school, although Mei Zhonghua is happy, but also a little worried, two children go to school but have a lot of tuition, he has to save money for the children.
Since the Hukou moved to the county, the rural land has been confiscated. The brigade said it was to distribute the land, but it has not been distributed. Now his family is counting on Li Mingyun to help people do some small handicrafts. He goes out and sells some agricultural and sideline products to make ends meet If the ground is not separated, Mei Zhonghua really does not know what to do!Thinking of this, he put the grain he had collected on the shelf truck in the yard, covered the grain with sacks and firewood, and planned to go out for another trip. As much as he could earn, he should save more money for the children.
Li Cuiping looked at him sorting out the shelf car. She sighed and reminded him kindly, ”I heard that there are many people in chaihuo city in Beiguan. Go there and have a look.”
”OK!”
Mei Zhonghua knew that this was Li Cuiping's suggestion that there was a black market in chaihuo city. Where could he exchange food? He said thanks and pulled the shelf car out of the door.
At the end of Dongguan bridge, Mei Xiaoran, who had just bought sugar, met his father who was pulling a shelf truck. ”Dad, what are you going to do?”
”I went to firewood last time.”
Outside, Mei Zhonghua does not dare to say much about it. It is also speculative to sell grain. Although the current policy is not so strict, and everyone turns a blind eye to it, it is better not to talk about it.
”Dad, I'll go with you.”
Mei Xiaoran didn't know that her father had worked so hard. She and her brother had been spoiled from childhood to adulthood. Now that she is reborn, she has experienced it once.
”You'd better stay at home.”
In fact, Mei Zhonghua doesn't have the mentality of valuing men over women. It's just a little bit of good face. He beat his daughter yesterday when he couldn't wipe it off. He was still in love. How could he be willing to let his daughter go out to sell grain with him.
”No, I want to go with you today.”
Mei Xiaoran can't help but say, helping push the shelf car.
Mei Zhonghua sighed helplessly, ”you child, staying at home is not good, you have to go out with your father to bask in the sun, do you say you are stupid?”
”I like to bask in the sun. I can't get dark anyway.”
Ran Mei's skin is the best when she was a little white, but the redder her skin is, the better she is.
”Let's go. Let's go early and come back early.”
Mei Xiaoran pushed the car behind and went to chaihuo city with her father.
