Heartless people all die

Chapter 10 Debt Collection

When I got home, Huixian had already prepared the food, Xie Yuanmiao thought it was good, at least there was a warm lamp when I came home, there was hot food on the dining table, there were two warm smiling faces and two pairs of eager eyes. His eyes made him feel warm in his heart.

Hui Xian helped him bring the face wash water, Yuan Yan had already taken the initiative to serve him a meal.Xie Yuanmiao washed his face, walked to the table and sat down: "Ah, why are there so many precious fish today." The fish was steamed and looked very good.

Yuan Yan said happily: "Auntie sent it, and there are a lot of vegetables."

Xie Yuanmiao gave each of his siblings a piece of chopstick fish: "Did you thank my aunt well?" His aunt is also married in a nearby village, and she usually spends a lot of time with their family. Now that her mother is gone, my aunt loves them so much that they will be separated from each other. Take a look at them every now and then.

"Well, I said it. My aunt said that I can go to her house to play during the holiday." Yuan Yan said, "Brother, shall we go?"

"I'm going to grow vegetables this weekend. I can't go there. If you want to go, you can go by yourself." Xie Yuanmiao turned to his sister and asked, "Did you kill Huixian?"

Huixian shook her head: "No, my aunt helped me kill it, but I followed suit today, and next time I will kill myself."

Xie Yuanmiao was stunned for a moment, looked at his younger sister, reached out and patted her head: "Next time, if I want to kill fish, I'll do it." Although he can't, he usually sees his mother kill. I will.

Yuan Yan bared his teeth and smiled: "Second brother, you are really amazing."

Huixian nodded: "Okay." To be honest, she was still a little bit embarrassed. After all, she was only a little girl in her teens. She really didn't dare to do such a bloody job. "Brother, do you think we raise chickens? Auntie Ask me, her family hatched a brood of chicks, and said that if we want to raise them, the chicks will be given to us and the hen will also be lent to us.”

Xie Yuanmiao looked at his younger sister: "Okay, Huixian, you go to my aunt's house to get chickens on Saturday." The family used to raise chickens, but after his younger siblings left, he thought he was going to school, so no one took care of the chickens, so he sold them all.Now that the siblings are all back, it's good to raise a few chickens, or at least lay some eggs to give everyone some nutrition.

After a few days of busy work, the beans and eggplants are finally planted, and from now on it will be a matter of watering every day.Under the guidance of Uncle Jiu, I planted some melons such as cucumber, loofah, winter melon, pumpkin, etc. Although it was a bit late, but fortunately, the climate here is better, and vegetables can grow almost all year round. Months, no worries about food to eat.Xie Yuanmiao looked at the vegetables he planted and felt a sense of accomplishment.

After his mother passed away, Xie Yuanmiao felt that the world had been turned upside down, and he seemed to be standing on his head in this world, with no focus at all.The recovery of his siblings made him feel that he should cherish the life he already had and not think about those things that had been lost.He carefully takes care of the life he already has, caring about the needs and changes of his younger brothers and sisters, and living every day with [-] points of seriousness.

When the younger siblings first came back, Xie Yuanmiao found that his younger brother Yuan Yan was always crying in his dreams at night. He thought that his younger brother would not feel safe sleeping alone, so he took him to sleep with him. It might be safer, but Yuan Yan still couldn’t sleep well. .Xie Yuanmiao took him to find the third uncle, who prescribed some tranquilizing medicine for him, but it didn't work.

When Second Grandma Xie heard about this, she said that she might have been frightened somewhere, that she was frightened, and that it would be good to stop being frightened.Xie Yuanmiao just remembered the typhoon night when the accident happened, and Yuan Yan saw that scene, maybe it was because of this, but he was skeptical about the matter of being shocked. Hearing what Second Mistress said was not complicated, he thought it might as well give it a try.Second Grandma Xie invited a fairy lady to come for them, and gave Yuan Yan a surprise at home. After Yuan Yan fell asleep, she was much quieter.The second grandma said that this method worked, and she used the method taught by the fairy mother-in-law to collect it twice for Yuan Yan. After that, she never heard Yuan Yan crying in her dream again.Xie Yuanmiao finally felt relieved, it turned out that this seemingly superstitious method was really useful.

After the younger siblings settled down, life became more regular.Xie Yuanmiao gets up on time at 05:30 every morning, and then washes rice and cooks porridge. Her younger sister Huixian will also get up soon to help with housework, sweeping the floor and cleaning the table.When the porridge is ready, go and ask Yuan Yan to wake up and have breakfast, and then go to school together.

The porridge side dishes are all pickles scooped from the pickle urn at home. These are made by my mother before. There are many kinds of pickles, including vegetables and seafood, such as olive vegetables, tribute vegetables, black olives , salted melon, small crab, small squid, shellfish, etc. are delicious, and it is convenient and delicious to use as porridge.But Xie Yuanmiao knew that these two urns would not be inexhaustible. Soon, they would face the crisis of pickle shortage. What would they have for breakfast then?Xie Yuanmiao has an unprecedented sense of crisis. He knows that the most important thing now is to make money besides studying.Without money, there is no way to live.

Xie Yuanmiao knew all his belongings clearly. His mother originally had some money, but when the funeral was held, Xie Yingzong didn't take out any money, and the money was almost spent.When Xie Yuansen left, he gave him the rest of the money. There were more than 1000 yuan in total. He collected his mother's bills and counted them all. There was also a foreign debt of nearly 2000 yuan. Last time he brewed seven cylinders of wine , nearly 400 catties of wine, and it can be sold for 4000 yuan, so he still has 4000 yuan in his hand.It is definitely not enough to sit and eat with these three [-] yuan, you have to make money.I have to go to school, what can I do to make money?

After school was over on Friday afternoon, Xie Yuanmiao pushed the car out of the school gate, ready to go to a small restaurant in the town to collect the bill. His mother used to cooperate with the owner to do business, and it was often this time to send the wine to get the money from the previous time, so There is still an account that has not been collected.Now that her mother is gone and the account has not been settled, the boss should not rely on her account. Xie Yuanmiao took a deep breath to cheer herself up.

He stepped on his bicycle and turned left when he left the school gate. Suddenly, a beautiful mountain bike rushed in front of him. The owner turned the front of the bike and almost collided with Xie Yuanmiao's car.Xie Yuanmiao quickly got out of the car.The other party stretched out his foot, tapped it on the ground, and turned to look at him: "Your house is not in this direction."

Xie Yuanmiao looked up and saw that it was a boy named Qian Jun in his class.Qian Jun's family is in the town, and he has been studying through from the first day of junior high school. Generally speaking, because the through-study students don't live on campus, they spend much less time in contact with their boarding classmates, so they have fewer opportunities to hang out together. Xie Yuanmiao and Qian Jun is not very familiar with him. He has been a classmate for two years and probably didn't say more than ten words in total.

Xie Yuanmiao paused and said, "I have something to do."

Among his peers, Qian Jun is very tall. He is currently 1 meters tall and is the tallest boy in his class. This height makes the boys in the class very envious, because in the south, especially in Guangdong, people who can If he grows to 77 meters, he is considered tall. Qian Jun is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so he still has a lot to grow.

"Oh, let's go all the way." Without asking what's the matter, Qian Jun adjusted the front of the car and started walking side by side with Xie Yuanmiao.

Xie Yuanmiao didn't know what to say, he was not a particularly outgoing person, let alone talk to unfamiliar people.But Qian Jun didn't care, he took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Your home is far away, it will take at least half an hour to ride here?"

Xie Yuanmiao nodded: "If you don't ride fast, it will be about this time."

"I have to get up very early in the morning." Qian Jun said, "But cycling is also good for growing taller. After I entered junior high school, I rode for two years, and I grew a lot. I was only 1 meters. "

Xie Yuanmiao smiled: "Really? I haven't found out yet."

"Persevere, it will definitely work. If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Qian Jun said firmly.

"If you can really grow taller, then of course it will be fine." Xie Yuanmiao didn't take it to heart either. He doesn't worry about his height now, he only cares about whether he can eat enough.

After riding for a while, Xie Yuanmiao raised his head and saw the signboard of the restaurant: "I'm here."

Qian Jun was a little surprised: "Are you here for dinner?"

Xie Yuanmiao said with some embarrassment: "No, I'm here to ask for the bill."

Qian Jun also got out of the car, Xie Yuanmiao said: "You go home, I will go by myself."

Qian Jun said, "It's okay, I'll go with you."

Xie Yuanmiao didn't say anything. He opened his schoolbag, took out his mother's accounting book, looked at the busy shop, and didn't know who to talk to. The proprietress in the shop saw them: "Ah Jun, come to eat?"

Qian Jun said, "No. My classmate has something to do with Uncle Lin."

"Then go in, he's cooking inside." said the proprietress who was ordering food for the guests.

Xie Yuanmiao was a little curious: "Do you know them?"

Qian Jun said: "This house belongs to my family, and I rent it to them to open a shop."

Xie Yuanmiao was silent for a while, and didn't say anything else. Qian Jun's family is quite rich. Anyone with eyes can tell that he often wears Nike or Adidas sweatshirts, and the shoes are also of this brand.Xie Yuanmiao heard from his classmates that these clothes cost several hundred yuan or more.This was around 2000, and these brands were not as ubiquitous as they were later, at least in counties or even cities.

Qian Jun walked into the kitchen inside familiarly, called out: "Uncle Lin." Turning around, he said to Xie Yuanmiao, "Come in."

The owner of the store was cooking in a pot, when he saw Qian Jun, he put on a smile: "Why did Ah Jun come to the store today, what do you want to eat?"

Qian Jun said: "I don't eat, Uncle Lin, my classmate has something to do with you."

The shop owner turned his gaze to Xie Yuanmiao, and Xie Yuanmiao quickly opened his account book. It was an exercise book, and his mother usually kept accounts in it. He said, "Oh, that's it. , and the wine that was sent to you on March 3 was not charged."

The other party was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "No money was collected. There are fifty catties of wine in total, two yuan per catty, and I still owe you 100 yuan."

Xie Yuanmiao thought for a while, and then said: "My mother wrote that it was two yuan and five yuan per catty." The price has risen, so the wine has also increased by [-] cents, which my mother said at the time.

Qian Jun said, "Uncle Lin, did you remember wrongly?"

The shop owner glanced at Qian Jun, and then turned to Xie Yuanmiao: "Ah, yes, I may have misremembered it. Then it's two yuan and five pounds."

Xie Yuanmiao hurriedly said: "The wine in our family used to be two yuan a catty. Later, my mother said that the price of rice had risen, so the wine also increased a bit. It is two yuan and five." His classmates left the impression that he was very calculating and snobbish.

Qian Jun said again: "Uncle Lin, my classmate will go home soon, so hurry up and pay him the bill."

The store owner craned his neck and called his wife to pay the bill.Xie Yuanmiao originally wanted to say that he still has some wine, and if the boss wants it, he will bring it to him, but this person is so shrewd that he wants to renege on his debts when he dies, so forget it, someone will buy it .

Xie Yuanmiao got the wine money, and came out with Qian Jun: "Thank you, Qian Jun."

Qian Jun patted him on the shoulder: "You're welcome, we are classmates, and it's all a matter of little effort. Where else are you going?"

Xie Yuanmiao shook his head: "No more, I'm going home."

Qian Jun said: "Why don't you go to my house for dinner, my house is not far in front."

Xie Yuanmiao waved his hand: "Thank you, I have something to do when I go back. Goodbye!" After speaking, he got on the bike and turned around and walked back.

Qian Jun had no choice but to say: "Goodbye!"

Xie Yuanmiao rode to the vegetable market and wanted to buy some seafood or meat to go back, but found that the vegetable market was empty, there was no one there, and it was already over, so he had to go back first, and go to the morning market early tomorrow morning. Seafood is cheap and fresh, and you can also buy small shrimp and crabs for pickling, but you have to get up very early.

When I got home, Huixian had already prepared the food, Xie Yuanmiao thought it was good, at least there was a warm lamp when I came home, there was hot food on the dining table, there were two warm smiling faces and two pairs of eager eyes. His eyes made him feel warm in his heart.

Hui Xian helped him bring the face wash water, Yuan Yan had already taken the initiative to serve him a meal.Xie Yuanmiao washed his face, walked to the table and sat down: "Ah, why are there so many precious fish today." The fish was steamed and looked very good.

Xie Yuanmiao was stunned for a moment, looked at his younger sister, reached out and patted her head: "Next time, if I want to kill fish, I'll do it." Although he can't, he usually sees his mother kill. I will.

Yuan Yan bared his teeth and smiled: "Second brother, you are really amazing."
