Back to 11 years old

When Su Ke saw He Lin, he was also taken aback: "Why are you here, don't you have to go to school today?"

He Lin smiled: "Aren't you supposed to be in school too?"

Su Ke explained: "I transferred from the capital city. The textbooks on both sides are different. Now I am looking for a tutor to teach at home. I will enroll directly in the second half of the year! What about you? You can't skip class!"

He Lin looked at Su Ke, and said, "Our school is in the countryside. We have a busy holiday these days. My land is rented out to others, so I came to the city to do business!"

"Working?" Su Ke looked at He Lin's body, which was almost half a head shorter than his own, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. A half-old child actually used this word, but judging by He Lin's appearance, it was obvious that he didn't seem to be joking. His expression also became serious, "If you don't mind, how about telling me?"

He Lin didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "I have some money on hand, so I can't just sit and eat. I just met an uncle who is his own boss, so I partnered with him to do some business and share some dividends."

Su Ke was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt worried, and asked, "Uncle? Is it your relative, is it reliable?" He remembered the incident when He Lin helped Su Qi back then, and wondered if He Lin was soft-hearted. And I don't have too much insight and precautions, whether I will be deceived by others, so I can't help asking at this moment, and I feel a little presumptuous as soon as the words come out. In fact, it is the second time that I and He Lin They didn't know each other very well when they met, so there was some embarrassment on their faces.

He Lin didn't feel offended, Zhise nodded, and then said: "Uncle Pan is very nice, he is a kind person! By the way, do you live here?"

Su Ke nodded and said, "Yes, my house is on the third floor. If you're not busy, come upstairs with me for a glass of water!" In fact, this is where Mr. Su lives. As the principal of No. [-] Middle School, after Mr. Su came over, he helped him arrange a place. Originally, he only brought Su Qi with him, but Su Ke really didn't want to live with his stepmother and the others. He really felt that he was almost like an outsider there. Therefore, I also moved here to live with my grandfather and my cousin, and I felt more comfortable.

He Lin smiled, and refused: "Next time, it's getting late, I have to hurry home, if I'm late, I won't be able to catch the bus!"

Su Ke felt a subtle sense of regret in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it. He just said, "That's it, let's do it next time. You will come here to study in the future. There are plenty of opportunities!"

After saying goodbye to Su Ke, He Lin went back. When he got home, it was already dark, but the field was still busy at the moment. Harvesters are not popular these days. One hundred, one mu of land can only earn a few dollars in total, so most people are reluctant to part with it, and the whole family still has to fight. On the way back, He Lin saw people pulling scooters and wheelbarrows from time to time. Tricycles send the bundled wheat to the threshing ground one after another. You can dry the grain in your own yard. There is not enough space, and you can do it on your own land, but the threshing machine blower is all on the threshing ground, which is shared by everyone. Yes, if you don’t go there earlier to occupy the place, you have to wait for other people’s house to fix your own house before you can do it. It doesn’t matter about time, if it’s late and it rains, maybe half a year’s hard work will be in vain.

When He Lin went back, he happened to meet Lin Cheng and Hu Feng and the others. Because they planted He Lin's family's few acres of land, they were even more busy this year. Car or something, seeing He Lin coming back from the outside with his schoolbag on his back, Lin Feng couldn't help showing envious eyes.

He Lin stood there like a stranger. After he sent the schoolbag back, he hurried over to help. Although Lin Cheng and Hu Feng refused, they looked happy on their faces. Hu Feng had already taken the seat , Seeing that the previous family had just run out of the threshing machine, they rushed forward. The four of them worked hard for two or three hours before it came to an end. After the wheat grains were piled up on the oilcloth, they had time to go back to eat.

"I'm exhausted!" Lin Feng sat down on the stool, grabbed a handful of noodles, and started eating cold porridge.

"Farming is never tiring, so Xiaofeng, you have to study hard. Like Xiaolin, you will go to work in a big city in the future, so you don't have to work so hard!" Hu Feng took the time to educate the children, and gave Lin Feng and He Lin Peel hard-boiled eggs.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes as soon as he heard it, and fell silent.

He Lin thought for a while, and then said aside: "Aunt, not to mention this kind of hard work, I can't make much money. I went to the city a few times and found that the money in the city is really easy to earn. Over there at the station, an old man I look at bicycles over there, and sell some tea eggs and so on. Bicycles park there for [-] cents a day, and a tea egg costs [-] cents. There are so many people coming and going at the station every day. Thirty is no problem! Auntie, you are so good at cooking, even if you find a place with a lot of traffic, you can make snacks!"

Hu Feng was a little moved and hesitated: "This, can this really be done?"

He Lin quickly said: "Why can't this work? Before, I actually thought that if I couldn't go to school, I would go to the county to sell cotton candy by myself! One spoonful of sugar can make such a large cotton candy, and it takes a few dollars to sell it. Dime, and some can be added with pigments, and it will be more expensive. You can earn at least [-] cents for each one. Auntie, I have seen people make that machine, and it is not too expensive. Auntie, you can go and try it. It's better than taking care of those few acres at home every day!"

Hu Feng's eyes were straightened: "How easy is it to make money?" Lin Cheng also looked at He Lin suspiciously.

He Lin hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said: "I can still lie to you, auntie. I heard people say that even if you carry a basket and sell vegetables in the city's vegetable market, you can earn more than ten yuan a day. People in the city have no land. But there are jobs, wages, and everything has to be bought with money, so business is easy to do. In fact, even if it is not in the city, Auntie, look at those sellers in the town. Whose life is worse? There must be a lot of people buying in the town!"

Hu Feng looked at Lin Cheng, and then said: "Well, I, I, I will discuss it with your uncle, and if I go to the county to do business, what will happen to your uncle and Xiaofeng?"

He Lin laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this, if I can earn money, my uncle will have to go to the brick kiln factory all day to do coolies, but it won't work. Earning money for others is worse than earning money for yourself. When the time comes, uncle, aunt, you Husband and wife are of the same heart, and if you buy a house in the county, you will all be urbanites, and Xiaofeng can also go to school in the city, and the teachers there are much better than those in the countryside!"

When mentioning the child, both Lin Cheng and Hu Feng's eyes lit up, and Lin Cheng nodded vigorously: "Xiao Lin, when the wheat is ready, uncle and aunt will go to the city to have a look. Your aunt will miss Xiao Lin all her life!"
