Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 258 Fake Gold in the 70s 13

"Big...Big Brother prepared this for you."

The two little girls happily took it and said, "Thank you, big brother. It's so beautiful. I like it so much."

Although no patterns can be carved now, you can see that a lot of care was put into it. The wood is polished very smoothly without any barbs.

After dinner, the family sat under the osmanthus tree, chatting and laughing, and their laughter could be heard from far away.

The next day, Xu Tao got up very early. She heard that some educated youth would go to the countryside that day, and she wanted to join in the fun.

Xu Yuan was equally curious, and the two sisters opened the door almost at the same time and smiled at each other. After finishing their loving breakfast, they went to the roadside to wait early. After waiting for half an hour, they didn't see any car and felt a little disappointed.

"Sister, why haven't they come yet?"

"What are you two waiting for?"

Following the sound, they saw an elderly lady waving at them with a smile.

The two sisters walked over and sat next to the old lady. Xu Yuan knew each other and greeted her, "Grandma Chen, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, eat, grandma has some candy, you little girls can have some."

As he spoke, he took out two hard candies from his pocket, opened his palms with trembling hands, and looked at the two little girls kindly.

Xu Tao took it, took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket, and put it over. "I have one too. Give it to grandma. Don't refuse it, grandma."

Grandma Chen wanted to return it, but Xu Tao took it and put it in the old lady's pocket, "Grandma, keep it. Otherwise, I won't eat it either."

Xu Yuan helped to persuade them, and the three of them, young and old, sat under the big banyan tree and chatted.

Xu Tao listened to the old lady's stories about the past and found that she was a very strong-willed woman. Her parents died in the war and she raised her two younger brothers by herself. Her husband died two years after they got married, and she raised her young children and her husband's elderly parents by herself.

There was no sadness on her face, but rather peace and contentment.

“The educated youth are here!”

Hearing the sound, the two sisters looked up and saw four men and three women sitting in the tractor truck, all of them looked like eggplants hit by frost.

"Hey, here come a few more weaklings. How are we going to survive?"

"When they arrived, they were all clean and tidy. After a year, they're almost the same as us. Look at those old educated youth. There's no trace of their original selves left now."

"What are you doing here if you can't even carry anything on your shoulders or hands?"

The older ones were discussing whether the educated youth were suitable for work, while the younger men and women were discussing their appearance.

The newly educated youth were embarrassed by the stares and lowered their heads. But one little girl was different. She held her head high and looked back at everyone who looked at her.

When they arrived at the educated youth home, their faces were dark again. The house was made of yellow mud and had only a big kang that could sleep seven or eight people.

The old educated youth also looked unhappy. They had nowhere to go to begin with, and now with so many people coming, it was difficult for them to even turn around.

"What a shabby place! Is this where people live?"

Li Jianshe's face darkened. "This is the condition in our countryside. If you are not used to it, I will find someone to send you back."

The girl who spoke pouted and didn't dare to say anything else.

The girl who had held her head high just now stood up and said, "Uncle Li, there are already five female educated youth in the room, plus the three of us..."

Li Jianshe understood what the little girl meant. He also knew that it was a bit unreasonable to let so many people sleep together, but the conditions were there now. He couldn't let them sleep on the floor. No one would be willing to do that.

"Uncle Li, do we have any run-down little houses or any vacant rooms for rent from families with daughters?"

Li Jianshe thought for a while and remembered that the place where the hunters rested before was now part of the village and very close to the educated youth institute.

Gao Yue took a look at the house. Although it was a little dilapidated, it could be lived in after some repairs. The most important thing was that the place was small, just right for her to live alone.

Seeing how shabby the house was, no one challenged her to buy it, which was exactly what she wanted. Gao Yue, fearing further arguments, offered to pay the rent.

Of course Li Jianshe was willing to pay a symbolic 80 cents per month. After all, it would cost money to repair the house.

Xu Tao observed him. Although he didn't show any difference, his thoughts and opinions were a little strange. However, she didn't have time to pry into the matter because she went back home after dinner.

Xu Eryong went to the city to help his daughter repair the tables and chairs. After the repairs were done, he decided to go back despite his daughter's attempts to keep him.

"Dad, wait a minute."

Xu Tao gave her sister a look, asking her to hold onto her father. She then returned to the house, found some defective cloth, and took out two bags of milk powder, rolled them into two small packages, and stuffed them into her backpack.

"Dad, you take it. I've already made an agreement with Mom."

Xu Eryong had no doubts and hurried away with his backpack on his back.

The two sisters were sent to the bottom of the building, with reluctance on their faces, but their mood was obviously much better than last time.

"Some people are so cunning that they steal things and sell them to outsiders when their parents are not at home."

Perhaps not noticing the reactions of the girls, the woman raised her voice, "You can be on guard day and night, but you can't guard against thieves in your home. The girls are just being raised by someone else's family, and they're already moving things from the house to supplement their income before they're even married. Mr. and Mrs. Xu are really pitiful."

This even involves naming names. If Xu Tao could tolerate this, she wouldn't have the surname Xu. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure walking in from the gate and quietly moved to block the view. "Aunt Zhang, you shouldn't be so nosy and sarcastic about us sisters, right? Then I have to have a good talk with my father. The last time I went to see him, Uncle Zhang was absent from his post..."

Zhang Daya hurriedly interrupted with a smile, "You two good kids, how could I say that to you? I...I'm talking about my daughter-in-law."

Anyway, her daughter-in-law still had more than an hour left before she got off work, and since she was the only one there with the two girls, she wasn't afraid of her daughter-in-law finding out. She could just deny it to death.

"Oh, you mean Sister Fen? You think she's a useless, money-loser, right? She's a thief who emptied her mother's house to subsidize her husband's. The house my parents prepared for me has become your Zhang family's. She always goes back to her mother's house to cry poor and beg for money, and she even brings her own little money-loser back to be looked after by her own mother."

Zhang Daya was a little annoyed. In her heart, she looked down on her daughter-in-law who was pushing for her, but she couldn't say that. Their youngest son was so outstanding, so what was wrong with asking her daughter-in-law's family for some financial support? If her family hadn't been capable, they would never have let her into the Zhang family. She was like a hen that didn't lay eggs.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm talking to you, why don't you answer, yes or no? Uncle Zhang..."

"Hehe, yes."

"Aunt Zhang, your back and leg pains were just excuses for going to the doctor. Last time, I saw you playing happily with a little boy at the entrance of the alley. You even carried him back and forth several times. That was your grandson, a chubby boy, right?"

Zhang Daya becomes excited when her grandson is mentioned. If it weren't for the things in her youngest son's house, would she have to be so secretive?
