Re-select the life system

Chapter 20: Chapter 20

After dinner, Qin He leaned on a cane and walked towards the village. While there was still some light, he walked to the door of a family. Seeing that there was no light inside, but there was a faint voice of someone talking, Qin He knocked on the door.

There was a questioning sound from inside.

"Who is it?"

Qin He coughed.

"It's me, Lin Yiqing, Third Uncle, I'm here to find Xingwang."

"It's Yiqing! Come on, come in!"

Qin He pushed open the door and walked in.

This house is also a standard rural earthen house structure, even smaller than Lin's house. After entering the house, there are several people sitting in the dim living room. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell who is who.

After a while, after getting used to the dim light inside, Qin He could clearly see the people inside.

The third uncle Qin He called was not his real third uncle, but a family of villagers who had a good relationship with Lin's father. Although they were not related by blood, they were also called third uncles according to their seniority.

The third uncle's family is not rich. They have two sons and a little daughter. The eldest son is 27. The younger son is the same age as Lin Yiqing. They grew up together and their relationship is not bad.

Last time Qin He came to borrow money, although his third uncle's family was in trouble, they still gave Qin He 50 yuan. Qin He remembered this friendship.

Qin He came to see his third uncle because Hu Xingwang was at home, and his family also had a [-]% new Phoenix bicycle. The main reason Qin He came was to ask Xingwang to pick him up and take him to school tomorrow!
The conditions of the third uncle's family are really bad, and the two sons are not yet married. In this era, a 27-year-old boy is not yet married, and he can already be labeled as a bachelor.

Last year, the eldest son of the third uncle's family couldn't stand the poverty at home, so he chose to go out to work. He didn't go home during the Chinese New Year last year. In the end, he asked the villagers to help bring 200 yuan back.

"Yiqing, have you eaten yet? Why don't you come and have some!"

It was only now that Qin He could see clearly in the room, the third uncle's family was sitting around having dinner together, because it was too dark outside, Qin He really couldn't see clearly.

"No, no, third uncle, I just ate, you eat first, I will sit down for a while, I will ask Xingwang to help, there is nothing else, you eat first!"

The third uncle was not polite after hearing this, and the rural people were not so polite, so the family continued to eat.

Qin He looked at the family carefully, while the third uncle was eating, he also chatted with Qin He, mainly asking about Qin He's leg injury.

Qin He smiled and played it off. Qin He was actually in pain about his leg injury. After the so-called bone-setting master used local methods to treat the leg, it was completely disabled. Both feet were asymmetrical. The deadly operation is almost half useless now.

When he has money, he must go to the hospital to break it up and put on the most expensive plaster cast again. The pain every night makes Qin He's life worse than death!
However, Qin He knew that his time was short, so there was no need to worry about these details. A thousand days was actually very short.

The third uncle and his family finally finished their meal, and the third aunt also lit the kerosene lamp. Perhaps it had been a long time since she had lit it. The wick took a long time to light before slowly lighting up, and black smoke slowly rose up.

"Yiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it. You are not an outsider. If there is anything you can help, just say it. I have always regarded you as my nephew. Back then, you and Xingwang were born every other day. Tell your father that if Xingwang is a girl, she still wants to marry a child!"

Qin He swallowed his saliva when he looked at Hu Xingwang, who had a face full of Chinese characters. Fortunately, they were two men back then. In this rural area, it might be possible.

"It's like this, third uncle, I'm going to Zhongjiang school tomorrow, because I can't walk a long distance with my legs, I want to ask Xingwang to help me ride a bike back and forth, so I'm in trouble!"

"Oh, that's it, then you and Xingwang agree on a time, and ask him to pick you up tomorrow!"

"Well! Okay! Thank you, Uncle San!"

"Thank you, come, drink water!"

Qin He took the boiling water, blew on the hot air, felt that the family treated Lin Yiqing sincerely, and couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth.

The grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring. As a reborn person, the third uncle's family, I must help!

But right now, I am just a pauper. I want to help, but I can't do anything. I just hope to change the status quo as soon as possible and find a way to change the fate of this family.

When they went to pick up Qin He, the third uncle and his family didn't take it seriously, and neither did Hu Xingwang, who grew up with Lin Yiqing since childhood. Homemade toothpicks are nothing short of authentic.

"Then I'll pick you up at seven tomorrow morning?"

"It doesn't need to be so early, eight o'clock!"

"Okay! Is your leg okay?"

"It's okay, it still hurts a little!"

"I'll find a way to add a cushion!"

"No, it's a rare trouble. Are you okay tomorrow?"

"What's the matter? It's sunny and it's raining for a few days. I can't do any work!"

After Qin He and his third uncle's family chatted for more than half an hour, they saw that the sky outside had completely darkened and they quickly stood up to leave.

The third uncle asked Hu Xingwang to see him off.

Hu Xingwang sent Qin He to the door of his house, and then he was about to turn around and go back.

Qin He stood at the door, turned around and wanted to call Hu Xingwang to stop, but swallowed the words he was about to say, and before he succeeded, no matter how good a promise was, it was worse than a shit.

When they got home, several children discussed their studies around the kerosene lamp, Qin He frowned a little.

It wasn't that he felt sorry for the kerosene money, but that the light from the kerosene lamp hurt his eyes, but seeing their serious looks, Qin He gave up persuading them, and took the initiative to boil water for them to wash their faces.

Perhaps because of yesterday's experience, several children had a real-life lesson. Today, their attitude towards learning is obviously much more correct, and many questions that they don't understand are discussed with each other and whispered.

Qin He boiled the hot water and didn't continue to write novels. Instead, he took out what he wrote today, and sat at the dining table like the children, surrounded by a kerosene lamp.

The children discussed their studies, and he quietly picked up his notebook and looked at what he wrote today to see if there were any typos and what needed to be added.

All the difficult past is a deep memory.

The next day, after the children went to school, Hu Xingwang pushed open the door of Lin's house, and Qin He slowly got up.

Before the children left, Qin He still gave Yanzi five yuan, but this time Yanzi did not ask for five yuan, but three yuan. After asking the reason, Qin He smiled helplessly and gave it to Yanzi. three dollars.

I don't know the situation of the magazine now, so save as much as you can!

Hu Xingwang didn't regard himself as an outsider. He walked to the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, saw the sweet potatoes and rice porridge inside, and couldn't help curling his lips.

However, he still put two bowls of rice porridge on the table, picked up one bowl, ate one bowl with pickles, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks in a sigh, feeling a little confused.

"Yiqing, I thought about going to the South to work after a while. I was exhausted at home and couldn't even eat enough rice. We will be 25 after the Chinese New Year. We are still bachelors. I am tired of listening to old women gossiping every day in the village. !"

Lin Yiqing had just washed his face, wiped his hands, hung up a towel, walked to the dining table, picked up the bowl of rice porridge and drank most of it in one go, then smacked his lips and said.

"Don't go out to work, after a while, you just follow me!"
