Of course it is good to be able to learn more things. Besides, he has nothing to do except reviewing recently. It is also good to be able to learn to draw.

Immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Teacher, can I learn to draw?"

"Of course, it can be seen from your words that you are a very spiritual and delicate child."

Zhang Xiaobao: Really? (⊙o⊙)

"Just now you can see what I want to express from the painting, which means that you are very talented. If you study hard, you will definitely achieve something in the future." Teacher Li continued.

Could it be that he is talented in art and was buried in his previous life?

Zhang Xiaobao left Teacher Li's office in a daze, puzzled, the artist's mind was really weird, just like the one named Bai.

Thinking that the surnamed Bai also learned to paint, Xiaobao's face flashed a trace of cruelty, what the hell, don't let him meet in this life, or you will hit him every time you see him.

After class in the morning, Zhang Xiaobao was called to the office by Teacher Li. Teacher Li gave him a stack of paper, a brush, and ink, and told him to go home and practice.

"Teacher, don't you want to learn to draw? How to practice brush calligraphy?" Of course it is good to learn one more thing, but he is curious about how the teacher taught him this.

"Teach you how to write first, and then teach you how to draw after a while."

Zhang Xiaobao clicked, took the things happily, saw the envelope on Teacher Li's desk out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly became a little excited. Of course, he was not excited about seeing any secrets, but saw the stamp on the envelope, that little golden monkey.

"Teacher, do you still have this stamp?"

"Stamps?" Teacher Li glanced at the monkey stamp on the envelope and smiled, "Do you like the monkey above?"

"Yes, I like stamps very much. My sister brings me some every time I come back, but I have never seen a monkey. Teacher, do you still have this? I want to buy some collections." Zhang Xiaobao said honestly.

This is a monkey ticket, monkey ticket, although it won't increase much in the next few years, it will grow wildly in the future!Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, so if you have the chance, of course you should collect them.

"Oh! You still like to collect stamps?" Do country kids know this? "The full page of monkey tickets is eighty pieces, which are still valuable for collection. If you like it, I have a few of them on hand, and I will give them to you tomorrow." Mr. Li said with a smile. He thinks collecting stamps is a good hobby, and There is no check.

Shaking his head quickly, "No, teacher, I like this stamp very much, so I want to collect more. Teacher, do you have a way to help buy some?"

Mr. Li pondered for a moment, "I have a friend who works in the post office and can help you get it at the face price. How much do you want?" He only has three sets in hand, and if he wants more, he really doesn't have one.

Zhang Xiaobao's eyes widened, "Really?" The denomination price is only [-] cents a ticket, and the full page is only [-] yuan. You know, the price of the monkey ticket has increased this year. Now it will sell for [-] cents a piece. up to one piece.

"of course."

"Then I'll go back and see how much savings I have at home. I want to buy the full page." Zhang Xiaobao said excitedly.

"Go." Teacher Li smiled and asked Zhang Xiaobao to leave.

☆, Appreciation Ceremony

"What did the teacher ask you to do? You won't cause trouble again, right?" Zhang Xiaobao just entered the room, and Sanya asked loudly.

Zhang Xiaobao frowned, the elder sister ate at the factory at noon, the second sister went to school in the county, in order to save the bus fare, she only came back once a month, only the third and fourth sisters were left at home, I don't know what happened, the three My sister has always been eccentric when seeing him these two days.

"What are you doing here, Sanya, and why don't you feed the pigs before eating?" Zhang's mother felt very uncomfortable when she heard her daughter talking to Xiaobao angrily as soon as she came out of the house, so she sent her to work directly.

Zhang Xiaobao was a little surprised, remembering that the third sister was not like this in her previous life.

Then I thought that the second sister was at home in the previous life, so the work that the third sister had to do was a lot less, but in this life, the second sister went to high school, and the family work naturally overwhelmed the third sister, but Zhang Xiaobao was like an idler, no wonder she I feel uncomfortable.

"Come here, Xiaobao." Zhang's mother directly ignored Siya who came in with Zhang Xiaobao, and took out a bowl of chicken soup from the kitchen. There were a few pieces of lean meat in it, which were obviously hidden for Zhang Xiaobao last night.

"Hurry up and eat before eating."

Reluctantly took the chicken soup, seeing that Siya next to him didn't look surprised or jealous, he gave her a wink, went to the yard together, and handed the chicken soup to Siya for her to drink.

"Mom left this for you." Si Ya covered her mouth and shook her head, if she ignored her swallowing voice.

"Hurry up." Stuffed it into Si Ya's hands, let her drink most of the bowl, and gave most of the meat before eating the rest.

"Mom left you some meat, why would you give it to Siya?" Sanya gritted her teeth angrily, but she didn't dare to do anything. After all, the same thing is common at home, but she saw him see Xiaobao It was for Si Ya to eat, but not for herself, that's why she was so angry.

"I just gave Si Ya a piece of meat, does Third Sister want to eat?" He gave the last piece of meat in the bowl to Third Sister, and just took it away without saying a word of politeness.

Zhang Xiaobao felt a little helpless, he, the third sister, was very smart, but also very selfish, if she was jealous of him, but the eldest sister, the second sister and the others had nothing to make her jealous, but she also hated the eldest sister, the second sister and the fourth sister good.

It was like this in the previous life. Knowing that the elder sister's family conditions were not good, he would often show off his wealth in front of her. Knowing that the second brother-in-law was not good to the second sister, he would show off his love in front of her. In short, Zhang Xiaobao was really mean to such a selfish third sister. no love.

Seeing that the third sister ate, knowing that she would not complain, Xiaobao heaved a sigh of relief, dragged the fourth sister into the house and shouted: "Mom, I have worshiped Mr. Li as a master, and I will learn to write and draw with him in the future." .”

"Really, I just said that my son is good-natured, and it really is. Hurry up and eat, and I'll tell your grandma to go later." Zhang's mother doesn't know calligraphy or painting, but she can recognize Mr. Li as a master. That's great.

Mr. Li is a college student from the city, just like the champions in the past. With so many students, why did he accept Xiaobao? It must be that Xiaobao is smart. He sees that he can also be the champion in the future. Mother Zhang thought happily, Another egg was added to Zhang Xiaobao, reading is exhausting, so he had to eat an extra egg to make up for it.

At noon, Zhang Dashan came home with a hoe on his shoulders. After hearing what Zhang’s mother said, he was even happier than her. When he was in the first grade of junior high school, the difficulties at home were gone, so he liked that his child could read well and be promising in the future. Xiaobao He is also the only male in their family, and seeing that he has a bright future, he is happier than himself.

In the eyes of these country folks, Mr. Li, he is a person with great culture, so Xiaobao can be taken as an apprentice by him, and he will definitely be successful in the future.

"Since you have worshiped Mr. Li as your master, you should follow along and study hard, you know?" After the meal, Zhang Dashan sat at the head and confessed while looking at Zhang Xiaobao.

"I know, I will definitely work hard." During these days of rebirth, he thought a lot.

He wants to slowly change his family's thinking of him, and it is best to think of him as a genius. In the countryside, the best performance of a genius is his test scores, so he won the first place in the door test, plus he is well-behaved and sensible. Words and deeds are the same, and after some time, his right to speak at home will definitely increase.

The news spread quickly in the countryside, coupled with his grandma's deliberate publicity, during meal time, everyone in the village knew that Zhang Dashan's youngest son had become a teacher by the principal of a college student from the city.

After returning home from school in the afternoon, the whole family got together again. Uncle Zhang just patted Zhang Xiaobao on the shoulder, while Uncle Zhang hugged his shoulder and laughed: "Good boy, not bad!"

The chicken was not killed this time, but a chicken was also lost, because Grandpa Zhang said that there must be a ceremony for apprenticeship, and the country people have nothing else, and there are still chickens and meat.

So at night, Zhang Dashan carried a basket of eggs, a chicken and a piece of bacon weighing four to five catties, and Zhang Xiaobao walked towards Teacher Li's house.

The person who opened the door was Mrs. Li's lover, who was average in appearance, but very gentle and virtuous. She now has a five-year-old daughter, but she gave birth to a son for Mr. Li the year after next.

At that time, the countryside was quite chaotic, and the family planning was not so strict. He remembered that after 89, they began to strictly check the family planning here for a while.

As long as someone finds out that it is an overbirth, they will come to your house immediately, and no matter how long the pregnant woman is pregnant, they will be dragged away and killed. Therefore, even though Teacher Li is a teacher, it is fine for her wife to give birth to him twice.

Teacher Li's lover is also one of the teachers in the school. She teaches fourth and fifth grades, but she also knows Zhang Xiaobao. She has heard her husband say many times that Zhang Xiaobao is smart and will definitely be admitted to university in the future. She will see them come in. Hurry to welcome them in.

Seeing that Zhang Dashan was carrying something in his hand, he said angrily, "Come here, what are you doing with the things?"

Teacher Li frowned and said angrily when he heard the movement, "Comrade Zhang, what does this mean?"

"This is a teacher's apprenticeship ceremony. It has been collected from ancient times to the present. Country people don't have any good things. Teachers must not dislike them." The more country people, the more they respect or worship scholars. Zhang Dashan put on a tiger face at home, But in front of Teacher Li, he was respectful.

"Since it's the ceremony of apprenticeship, I will accept it." The ceremony of apprenticeship really needs to accept something meaningful, so that it means that the disciple is accepted.

In front of Zhang Dashan, Zhang Xiaobao kowtowed to Teacher Li and became an official apprentice. After having dinner at Teacher Li's house, the two went home.

The countryside gets up early and goes to bed early, and it's only eight o'clock now, and it's already quiet. Xiaobao followed his father back home, but found that his grandparents hadn't returned yet.

"Xiaobao is back, what did Teacher Li say?" Zhang Dashan was asked later.

Speaking of this, Zhang Dashan immediately blushed, "Mr. Li took the exam for Xiaobao in front of me, and Xiaobao answered all the answers. Teacher Li also praised Xiaobao for being smart, and he will definitely be able to enter a university in the future, and it will be a university in the capital."

In today's rural areas, it is a big deal to be admitted to university. Teacher Li said that if Xiaobao persists, he may be admitted to Qing University and Beijing University. Zhang Dashan doesn't understand, but he knows that universities in Beijing are just like ancient universities. No. [-] is no different.

This remark made everyone in the room very happy, and also made Zhang Xiaobao secretly decide that he must study hard. In his previous life, being a scumbag made his family sad. In this life, he will be a schoolmaster and make his family proud.

As a matter of course, grandparents, uncles and uncles rewarded him with pocket money, as if in their eyes, this was the greatest encouragement, and he really needed it now.

Counting the savings, there was already seven yuan in the small iron box, which was definitely not a small amount of money in the countryside in 84.

Seven yuan can only buy the next version of monkey tickets, how could Zhang Xiaobao be willing, after thinking about it, he got up carefully and ran to his parents' house.

"Why isn't Xiaobao sleeping so late?" Mother Zhang put on a dress and opened the door for Xiaobao to let him in.

"Mom, I saw a lot of stamps in Mr. Li's room, and I want to buy them too." Withdraw Mr. Li first, and my parents will be more serious.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that Teacher Li had a lot in his room, Zhang's father said, "Then buy it!" He still knows the stamps, and they only cost a few cents.

"I want to buy a full edition, 80 pieces each." Zhang Xiaobao stared at his father.

Zhang Dashan sat up from the bed, "How much?" It's true that one sheet costs a few cents, but it's not a matter of a few cents for a plate. Eighty pieces cost six yuan and four!He only had two to thirty yuan for a month of hard work, and six or four yuan was his wages for how many days. Even if he doted on Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Dashan still hesitated in the face of such a big money.

"Dad, you don't know, Teacher Li has a network, and you can buy one for eight cents, but now outside, the stamp has risen to fifty cents a piece. After we buy it, we can sell it for forty cents. Earn more than 30!"

"Really?" Zhang Dashan's eyes lit up. In the past few years of reform and opening up, his mind has also opened up a lot, but he doesn't have the previous idea that doing business is capitalism.

"Of course, I heard from Mr. Li that it will go up at the end of the year, and if you don't buy it, it will be gone." Climbed on the bed, grabbed their clothes, and shook them, "Dad, Mom, buy them for me. The longer this thing gets, the more valuable it will be. Be a family heirloom and keep it for your future grandchildren."

"Puff! This child! His hair hasn't even grown yet! He's a grandson." Zhang's mother was so teased by Zhang Xiaobao that she burst out laughing. Go play and make money."

"Success, I'll buy you a copy." Zhang Dashan said.

The family has also saved some money over the years, and the money for Xiaobao's high school and college must not be touched, and the rest can still be used to buy a stamp for Xiaobao.

Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he leaned on Zhang Dashan's body, "I want two versions." Anyway, he is only nine years old now, and he can still act coquettishly.

Zhang Dashan looked down at his son, thinking that his performance and grades were good during this time, he gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll buy you two editions."

☆, want everything

The next day, Zhang Xiaobao went to grandma's house early in the morning. Grandma lived with his uncle and the others. When he entered the door, his aunt was cooking, and both uncle and grandpa had gone to the mountain.

"Xiaobao is here, have you eaten yet?" The eldest aunt believed in Buddhism and was a very gentle person.

As I said last time, her son went there before he was one year old. Zhang Xiaobao is one year younger than the cousin who died. Of course, the cousins ​​look somewhat similar, and they may have some empathy, so the eldest aunt treats Zhang Xiaobao very well. .

"Eat, I'm here to find grandma." Even so, the aunt still brought a big potato to Zhang Xiaobao.

I bumped it back and forth a few times in my hand, and finally it wasn't so hot. I peeled off the skin and took a few bites. The aroma of potatoes came to my nostrils, "It's delicious, thank you, auntie."

"You child, grandma is in the house, you go in." Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao was eating happily, the aunt took another potato and put it in his pocket.

They are poor here, many people don't even talk about cooking, even porridge is difficult to drink, the conditions of their family are not bad, otherwise the girls don't even have to study in junior high school.

As for potatoes, which are long-lasting, you usually only cook a few to try something new, which is considered a good thing.

Ye Qingzhi walked in while eating potatoes, and saw grandma sitting there making shoes, looking at the size, she still made them for him.

"Grandma, I have enough shoes, don't do it, don't tire yourself out." Zhang Xiaobao didn't know how to describe this old lady.

She looks down on the daughter-in-law and granddaughter at home, so she feels sorry for her son and grandson, thinking that her daughter and granddaughter are losers, so she is very partial, usually very stingy, it can be said to be stingy, but for Zhang Xiaobao, the only grandson, that She absolutely wanted to give him everything she thought was good.

"Not tired, not tired, just a few more stitches will be fine." Grandma Zhang put down her shoes, pulled Zhang Xiaobao and rubbed his face, "Why doesn't Xiaobao go to school?" Lifeblood, this statement is not false at all, not to mention that Zhang Xiaobao is her only grandson, for him, the old lady can really risk her life.

Feeling the warm and rough friction on his face, his eyes suddenly turned sour. In his previous life, he didn't even see his grandma for the last time. It was also at that time that Zhang Dashan, who loved him, slapped him. He heard that his grandma passed away. What I never forgot before was meeting his unfilial grandson.

"Grandma, I want to buy stamps, so..." Although Zhang Dashan promised him to buy two pages, plus his own savings, he can buy a total of three pages, but Zhang Xiaobao is not satisfied at all, this is a monkey ticket, and the opportunity is right in front of him , just watching the money slip away in front of his eyes, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt, but when he asked grandma for money, he...

"Stamps? What's that?" Grandma Zhang asked, turning over the pillow, and took out a small bag wrapped in blue linen. Inside was a handkerchief and a layer of red paper inside, and then the money inside was revealed. , the biggest one is ten yuan, then one, two and one or two cents.

Spread all the money in front of Xiaobao, "Do you see if it's enough? If not, I'll ask your uncle and uncle to get some."

This old man?Zhang Xiaobao quickly lowered his head, not letting his grandma see his reddish eye sockets, no matter how many shortcomings this old man has, but she loves him unconditionally.

Sniffing, he took away the big money, and then said: "Grandma, I can increase the money when I buy this stamp. When you want to use it, just tell me, and I will return it to you right away, or double."

This is not bragging, he is now buying it at face value through Mr. Li, and some people want it for [-] cents.

As long as grandma needs money, he will sell one edition, and then he will definitely be able to return double to grandma.

"Really? My little grandson is really good. He can make money at such a young age. Grandma doesn't have to worry about food and clothing at home. How can I get money." Put the wallet into Xiaobao's pocket, patted it, "Don't lose it It's getting late, go to school quickly, don't be late, you know?"

When he got home, Zhang Xiaobao began to count his current belongings. His own seven yuan and the 13 yuan his father gave last night made him twenty.

Grandma gave the most. When I opened it, he had all the ones worth more than one yuan. Fifteen tickets for one yuan, six tickets for two yuan, three tickets for five yuan, and seven tickets for ten yuan. The total is 110. Two dollars.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaobao was a little dumbfounded. More than 100 yuan is a huge sum of money for an old lady in the country. This is probably all his grandpa and grandma's property. How much does his grandma love her? Only then did he give him all the money without asking why.

Take a deep breath, he was not filial in his previous life, but in this life he must be a filial grandson, a grandson who makes them proud.

The money plus his own and his father's is 132 yuan in total. With so much money, he can buy at least twenty sets of monkey tickets. What he has to worry about now is whether the teacher's friend who works in the post office has so many Monkey tickets are sold.

After school in the evening, Zhang Xiaobao came to the office and handed over the money to Teacher Li, only to realize that this worry was unnecessary.

The teacher’s friend works in the post office in the county. Their county is small, and they usually send few letters. No one has nothing to buy stamps. Only people like Mr. Li who have lived in big cities will have heard of stamp collecting.

At the beginning, the monkey ticket could not be sold, and the province issued it to the city, and the city directly issued it to the county, and then let the employees buy a lot, and now there are still many warehouses.

Although the price of monkey tickets has increased now, after all, it is spread in a small area. Their county is too small and too remote, and they have not heard any such news, so there are still few people who buy it. People like Zhang Xiaobao who buy more than 100 yuan at once, It is definitely rare. You must know that people who work in the unit now only earn 30 yuan a month.

For the postal workers, it is definitely a big deal. If you sell this, you might get a lot of rewards.

"Xiaobao, where did you get so much money to buy stamps?" Teacher Li asked without taking the money immediately.

"It's my New Year's money and pocket money from before, and I asked for money from my father, my grandfather, my uncle, and my uncle. That's all I put together." Zhang Xiaobao replied honestly.

Teacher Li looked at Zhang Xiaobao up and down, thinking that the school in Zhangjia Village was so close, if it was true that he had taken such a large sum of money without the adults' consent, the adults would have come to the school early.

"Okay, I happen to be going to the county this weekend to do some errands, and I'll bring it for you." Teacher Li nodded. The Zhang family spoiled his son too much. He must be strict as a teacher in the future, otherwise he will spoil his son. But good seedlings can be ruined.

Zhang Xiaobao heaved a sigh of relief, and then his heart was filled with excitement. Soon he will have the [-]th version of Monkey Ticket

On the weekend, Mr. Li got off the car and went to the Education Bureau for a meeting, and then went to the post office. His friend was on duty today, and he knew it.

"Old Liu, are you ready for the monkey ticket I told you about last time?" Teacher Li entered the office familiarly.

"I'm ready to go, look, it's all here." Old Liu pointed to the monkey ticket on the table, "There are thirty copies in total, and I'll give you all at face value. How much can you buy?"

"Thirty editions?" Teacher Li pondered for a while, "I want them all." Then he took out the money and gave it to Lao Liu, asking him to wrap up the monkey ticket.

"Success, you bought so much, I'll send you a booklet with stamps." Old Liu happily packed and packed it. Today he can complete a big order, and this month's bonus is indispensable.

Teacher Li took the stamp and refused the invitation to eat, "I have to catch the last bus, I will treat you another day."

Sending Teacher Li out with a smile, Old Liu wandered back to the office. At this moment, the phone on the desk rang, so he quickly picked it up.

"Director Liu?" It was a female voice with a sweet voice.

Old Liu: "Yes, who are you?"

"I'm from the city post office, do you still have monkey tickets?" An anxious voice came from the other end.

Hey!Could it be that the superior knew that he sold the monkey ticket and gave him a reward?

Lao Liu: "It's all sold out." His voice was very bullish.

"What? They're all sold out? Hey! What can we do?" The woman on the other end was a little annoyed, "Why are they all sold out? People outside are queuing up to buy now!"

Old Liu, who was still a little proud just now, sat up straight in an instant, "What did you say? Waiting in line to buy? Monkey tickets?"

"No, you don't know, the price of the monkey ticket suddenly increased to [-] yuan today, and it is estimated that there will be more increases in the future, but it is not like people are rushing for it. Well, I will call other county post offices to see if there is any stock. "

Old Liu was holding the microphone, wanting to cry, but he sold the fifth edition that he was forced to buy to Mr. Liu. In a blink of an eye, the price rose to 64 yuan per edition, and the fifth edition was more than 300. And it may increase in the future.

At this moment, Lao Liu wanted to slap himself.

☆、Da Ya's wedding

"Teacher, the money I gave is only enough to buy the [-]th edition." Zhang Xiaobao looked at the [-]th edition monkey ticket in front of him, and refused to take it no matter what.

"I saw that you liked it, so I bought them all. Let's treat it as a meeting gift from my teacher." Teacher Li was telling the truth. Originally, he was thinking of giving some meeting gift, but now it's just right.

Zhang Xiaobao still refused to take it, but in the end he couldn't understand the teacher, so he took two copies, "Teacher, two copies are really enough, you keep the remaining eight copies, and you can make a dowry for your junior sister in the future."

Before he was reborn, he had seen it in the news, and the price of the first edition had reached more than 100 million. He originally wanted the teacher to buy a few editions, but he didn’t know what reason to use to convince the teacher. He didn’t expect the teacher to buy more. Better yet.

Teacher Li picked up the book at hand and knocked on Zhang Xiaobao's head, "I don't even have full hair, I know what kind of dowry." Seeing that he insisted on refusing, Teacher Li had to keep eight copies.

Holding the 22 version of the monkey ticket, Zhang Xiaobao felt so beautiful, it was all money!

After returning home, Xiaobao quickly put the monkey ticket in a small wooden box with a lock and hid it. This small box was made for him by his grandfather.

Thanks to Teacher Li as a teacher, in addition to learning calligraphy, he will naturally guide Xiaobao in academics. It was also at this time that Teacher Li found out Zhang Xiaobao's learning level.

"You kid, you just finished the elementary school courses without making a sound, okay." His student is promising, and he has a bright face. He thought that Xiaobao was smarter before, but he didn't expect to work hard.

At the end of the term, Zhang Xiaobao unexpectedly got the first place in the class and also the first in age, since there is only one class in the school anyway.

Just approaching the end of the year, the family simply killed another chicken to celebrate. Grandma Zhang brought all the eggs that had been saved for more than a month. The uncle and aunt didn't say anything, but the second cousin of the uncle's family and the eggs of the uncle's family The third cousin made some slight remarks.

They were all insignificant words, and Zhang Xiaobao was not a real child, so he just smiled when he heard it, and turned to play with his uncle's little cousin.

The little cousin is only five years old this year, and she is the youngest child in their family. Although she is a daughter, her uncle and uncle love her very much. Zhang Xiaobao liked to bully the little cousin in his previous life. It will also be the youngest child of their generation.

After dinner, only grandparents and Xiaobao's family were left at home. Everyone else went back first. Grandpa Zhang knocked on the pipe and asked, "Xiaobao, what monkey ticket did you buy last time? Did you buy it?"

More than 100 yuan is not a small amount. When he came back from the mountain and heard that his wife gave all the money to his grandson, he didn't feel too distressed, but worried that he would spend it indiscriminately.

Others didn't know much about it, but seeing Grandpa Zhang asking this question, they somehow knew that Xiaobao asked the old lady for money.

Zhang Dashan raised his head and stared at Zhang Xiaobao, this kid even asked the old lady for money in private, didn't he agree to buy two editions?

Zhang Xiaobao got stuck, and immediately reacted, "I bought it, and it's been two or three months since I bought it. Teacher Li also bought a few copies himself."

"Stamps? What kind of stamps? Are they expensive?" Sanya immediately asked when she heard that Xiaobao asked the adults for money to buy something.

"What do you ask every child, why don't you hurry up and wash the dishes." Sanya is sensible, capable, and has good grades, but for some reason, Zhang's mother just feels that she is not as lovable as before.

Sanya responded, and left unwillingly.

"It doesn't matter if you spend it randomly." Grandpa Zhang heard that Mr. Li also bought it, so there was no problem at all.

"Of course it's not random spending. Teacher Li told me last week that the monkey ticket has increased to one yuan and five for one. One version of eighty tickets is one hundred and two. It is estimated that it will increase next year." Zhang Xiaobao approached his grandfather and Zhang Dashan and whispered. .

"What?" Zhang Dashan shouted loudly. Grandpa Zhang didn't know how much the monkey ticket used to be, but Zhang Dashan knew that it took more than six yuan to become more than 100.

"What are you yelling about?" Grandpa Zhang gave Zhang Dashan a sideways look, then turned around and asked, "How many editions did you buy?" I work in the county town, so I am knowledgeable in the village, and I ask for ideas whenever I ask.

Seeing Sanya in the kitchen with her ears pricked up, Zhang Xiaobao curled his lips, dragged his grandparents and father to the main room, and said, "So I bought it for six yuan and forty-one."

Now, even Grandpa Zhang is not calm anymore. I don’t know how many times it has been doubled. .

"For my own pocket money, my dad gave me 13 yuan, plus the ones I got from my grandma. I bought a total of 22 editions. The teacher gave me two editions, which is the [-]nd edition." Zhang Xiaobao never thought of lying to his grandparents and grandma. Parents, these are the people who love him the most, and they are also the ones who will harm him the least.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Grandpa took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then told Zhang Dashan and Grandma Zhang who were stunned: "Don't talk about Xiaobao's monkey ticket, even Dahai and Dayou." No, you know?"

If it’s one or two editions, of course it’s fine, but if there are more than 20 editions, that’s more than 2000 yuan. Such a large sum of money, even if Dahai and Da are not interested, the eldest daughter-in-law and the younger daughter-in-law will not be tempted at all, and they will not be tempted at all. They all have their own children. Although they are daughters, there is still a difference between their own children and nephews.

Grandpa Zhang told Zhang Dashan and Grandma Zhang about this, Zhang Dashan should stop talking about it, he is his own son, so why not see him well? Grandma Zhang didn't think much of it at first, but when she heard Grandpa Zhang's explanation, she immediately promised not to say anything about it .

It's not that Grandma Zhang doesn't like the elder son and the younger son, but the elder grandson she has been looking forward to for so many years occupies a more important position in her heart, so as long as it is about the grandson, she will listen to whatever she says.

In the evening, Zhang's father told Zhang's mother that this was her own old son, so naturally he would not tell it.

Only an elder in the family knew about the monkey ticket, and it didn't make any waves.

Zhang Xiaobao was on vacation, so was Erya. She came back from the city feeling more confident and cheerful. She also took out a white sweater and knit one for Xiaobao because she saw that the wool was cheap and beautiful.

Mama Zhang, who originally wanted to say that Erya spent money randomly, immediately smiled when she heard that it was for Xiaobao, and even praised Erya as a sensible older sister, who was kind to her younger brother, and made Sanya, who was just getting a scarf, feel happy uncomfortable.

Just now I said that Erya gave her a waste of scarves, but when it comes to Xiaobao, she will become sensible, a sweater can knit several scarves!In a blink of an eye, seeing Siya happy touching the scarf, Sanya felt even more uncomfortable, turned around and went back to the house.

Erya frowned, and didn't say anything, but asked Xiaobao to put on the sweater to see if it fit.

"Second Sister, you are really good. Your size is just right." Xiaobao is not like other boys in the country who have to work in the fields and eat well, so he looks fair and clean. The teacher practiced brush calligraphy, and he unconsciously felt a bit of bookishness on his body. Wearing a white sweater, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child in the city.

Seeing her son standing there, Zhang's mother was very happy when she could compare with the people in the surrounding villages.

During the Chinese New Year, the whole family went to the uncle's house for the New Year's Eve dinner. Now Zhang Xiaobao is sensible and obedient, and has won the first place in the exams every time. He is also the only boy in the family, so naturally he gets the most lucky money.

"You'll be twenty after the Chinese New Year, what do you guys think?" Grandpa Zhang sat at the head and asked.

Speaking of early marriages in rural areas, people are usually seen at the age of [-] or [-], and married at the age of [-] or [-], but Da Ya works in a factory and earns a salary of more than ten yuan a month. Mother Zhang thinks about the money she gets when she gets married. It's not my own, so I keep dragging it on.

There are many children in Zhang Dashan's family, especially a young grandson. Grandpa Zhang didn't talk too much when he saw it, but he couldn't stay anymore after he was twenty.

Da Ya blushed a little at the side. She was 17 years old and fell in love with a woman from this village. Because her parents didn't agree, she had been waiting for her. She thought it would take a year or two, but she didn't expect her grandpa to bring it up. Da Ya Ya felt somewhat hopeful in her heart, looking at her parents carefully.

By the way, it's not that the elder sister is going to get married, Xiaobao patted his head, and forgot such an important matter.

The elder brother-in-law’s family is from the same village, and his family is not considered poor, but he is well-connected with the Zhang family. The elder sister’s in-laws are all kind, but in the previous life, because the elder sister dragged the elder brother-in-law for too long, when the elder sister got started, she was somewhat resigned, but The eldest brother-in-law really has nothing to say to the eldest sister.

"Don't be in a hurry, we'll talk about it after the new year." Mother Zhang replied with a smile.

The big girl lowered her head, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, then she raised her head and smiled. It's not like she doesn't understand what parents mean, how can she expect it.

In the evening, Zhang Xiaobao ran to his parents' room again, and sure enough, he saw them discussing about his eldest sister. As soon as Zhang's mother saw him, she guessed what he was going to say.

Sighing: "It's not that Mom doesn't miss your eldest sister, it's just that the three older sisters above you are all studying. If you don't have your eldest sister's salary, it depends on your parents farming and doing odd jobs. Where will the tuition fees come from?"

Zhang Dabao was silent for a while, and said: "Even if the elder sister gets married, she won't ignore the family, besides, I still have monkey tickets, we have money."

Seeing that they still didn't speak, Zhang Xiaobao said again: "Mom, it's not that our family can't live without the eldest sister's salary. I'm also grown up, and I will earn money to support the family in the future. You can let the eldest sister marry the brother-in-law."

Big Ya is their first child, so naturally they hold more weight in their hearts than Erya and Sanya. Before Xiaobao came, he was thinking about whether to let her marry, and after listening to Xiaobao's words, he finally made up his mind.

"Success, after the new year, we will choose a date for your eldest sister to marry." Zhang Dashan said after making a decision.

Standing outside the big girl, tears were streaming down her face at this time, but happiness was shining in her eyes. She didn't expect her parents to agree, but it was also thanks to Xiaobao, this child!

Sanya, who was hiding on the other side, blinked her eyes, turned and went back to the room without disturbing the second sister on the bed.

☆, big sister married

As soon as he was born, Zhang's mother asked someone to bring a message. The elder brother-in-law and his parents were very excited. They also watched the child grow up. He was sensible and capable since he was a child, otherwise his son would not be dragged so They didn't talk much for a long time,
