far and near

In recent weeks, Yuan Huifang's lumbar spondylosis has become more serious. Yuan Liu said that the store should be closed first, so Mom, let's go to the hospital.Yuan Huifang said that honesty is the key to opening a door for business. If you don’t open it for a day, it’s fine. If it’s more than three days, half of the regular customers will leave.

Yuan Liu said that you should do less work, and I will do all the work that I can do.She got up before dawn in the morning, and rode Yuan Huifang's old bicycle to the vegetable market to buy ingredients. The two large baskets on the left and the right were full, and Yuan Liu carefully carried the faucet home.Now that the weather is cold, she doesn't want Yuan Huifang to touch cold water, so she picks and washes all the vegetables before going to school in the morning. Yuan Huifang only needs to make a box lunch.

The homeroom teacher found that Yuan Liu was stepping on the bell to enter the classroom during this time, and told her not to sleep late and go to bed early to get up early. The little girl said thank you teacher.In the whole class, only Su Hai knew about Yuan Liu's schedule. She was busy for more than two hours before going to school in the morning, and she would go back to eat at noon because she had to help Yuan Huifang collect money and find money, serve meals and clean up the table.After school in the afternoon, I was busy until the store closed at [-] o'clock, and the rest of the time was spent on studying.Other students study for eight hours a day full of resentment, while Yuan Liu has to do an extra six hours of work.

Yuan Huifang grew up like this since she was a child, but the children around her are not as hardworking as Yuan Liu. She said that from now on, you will help your mother for a while at noon, and don't do things during the rest of the time.

"It's okay, Mom, I'm not tired." Yuan Liu's face quickly thinned from an apple to a pear, and now it looks like a melon seed, with bigger and fuller eyes.She always smiled, "Mom, you are right, you can't do business for three days fishing and two days drying the net. Our income this month has increased by more than 1000 yuan."

If Su Hai is not too busy at the barber shop, she will come to help Yuan Liu.It's a rare weekend, and there are no customers in the store, but they are all idle, sitting on the beach and washing dishes, thinking about the future, "Xiao Liu, why don't we open a store and be neighbors in the future, I am too tired to go to school."

There is no one who is not tired.Yuan Liu said, look at Sister Yu Ren, how many times did she work overtime until after nine o'clock in the evening before coming to dinner?Look at Sister Xiaobai again, besides rehearsing and performing, she has to take care of her children all day long.Bad years are also tiring, isn't she going to graduate school?Sister Yu Ren said that she is so good that she goes to the library to line up at six in the morning every day.

"The hardest ones are your mother and my mother." Yuan Liu knew that Yuan Huifang's lumbar pain made it difficult for her to stand, while Mao Xinxia was busy in the store for twelve hours a day, and rarely had lunch and dinner on time.Just like this, I have to take my son with me, and quarrel with the old lady from time to time when I go home.

Su Hai felt bad when he thought of this, "My stepfather—" She hesitated to speak, and quietly moved to Yuan Liu's side, "He's having an affair."

Yuan Liu's hand trembled, "Really?"

"I heard when they were arguing, and my mother said, 'Then get a divorce, and you go with that woman'." Su Hai said that Mao Xinxia has insomnia and migraines these days, and she has to grit her teeth to get up and come to the store.

Yuan Liu remembered Liu Maosong's argument with Yuan Huifang before, she shook her head, "Your stepfather won't divorce?"

Su Hai’s curly hair is in a bun on the top of his head today, and he can become a Taoist nun with a chopstick. 100 million, he is reluctant to part with this money."

Adults focus on "money" at the end of their divorce. Didn't Liu Maosong just grab it with his hands?After Yuan Liu finished washing the dishes, she breathed a sigh of relief by the sink with her hips on her hips. When Yuan Huifang called her in the store, she agreed. Suddenly, she saw three people standing in the store. The others were unfamiliar to her, but she remembered Hu Muzhi's face very well. clear.Looking at Hu Muzhi's side, the taller girl is Yu Jin, whom she hasn't seen for several years, and the shorter girl with an irritable face is Yu Tianlei, who has been beaten by her several times.

Hu Muzhi's face was flattering, she called Yuan Huifang "Third Sister", when she saw Yuan Liu's sad face suddenly changed into a more kind smile, "Xiao Liu."

Yuan Liu looked at Yu Jin, the biological sister turned her face away, as if unwilling to meet her eyes.And Yu Tianlei was already sitting in the store, unhappy that he was hungry.

"Xiao Liu, give your aunt, sister and brother some food." Yuan Huifang sat down wiping her hands, looking at Hu Muzhi with gleaming eyes, and said nothing else, "I came all the way here without lunch, these are from the store Home cooking, try it."

Yuan Liu glanced at her mother, and found that although the clothes on Hu Muzhi were neat but very rustic, Yu Jin was wearing gray work pants and a cotton coat.Sensing Yuan Liu's gaze, she hid her painted left hand in her sleeve.On the contrary, Yu Tianlei dressed in a foreign style and exquisite, with brand-name sportswear on top and bottom.

When Su Hai followed into the store, she obviously startled Hu Muzhi, "This—this kid is really tall." Looking at her son who looks like bean sprouts, she said, look at this sister, even a girl is so tall.You can't be picky eaters anymore, eat more and be taller than her.

Su Hai winked at Yuan Liu, and the little girlfriend smiled helplessly.

Hu Muzhi came here this time for two reasons. The first one was to borrow money to buy a house. "The down payment is still 10 yuan short. How could we know that the housing prices in urban areas are rising so fast, we can't borrow much, and the down payment needs to be [-]%. "The second issue is whether you can rent a house for Yu Jin to live in Yuan Huifang's house. She has quit her job in the food factory and now wants to learn massage in a massage shop.That store is in the high-tech zone, and it is not convenient for seven or eight people to live in one room.

Yuan Huifang picked up the big teacup "Gulu" and took a sip of tea, "Oh."

She has been a small boss for many years, she can fight lawsuits with Wen, and can beat her ex-husband with martial arts. She still doesn't know Hu Muzhi's morality?Sure enough, Hu Muzhi took the gift to the table and said that he bought clothes for you and Xiao Liu. Didn’t Xiao Liu like to wear refreshing colors when he was young?I bought her a beige down jacket.

Yuan Huifang glanced at his daughter, "Xiao Liu?"

Yuan Liu said thank you aunt, she opened the clothes and shook them off, and found that it was a good brand name, Hu Muzhi had indeed invested some money, "After so many years, I can finally wear the clothes my aunt bought." Yuan Liu's words made Hu Muzhi's face stiffen , she laughed, "This...Xiao Liu, the conditions at home have not been very good these years."

"Thank you, aunt." Yuan Liu said that she had enough clothes, and my mother would buy them for me, and my sister Yu Ren took me to pick out clothes all the time.She said that this down jacket looks too small for her, and she may have to grow taller, "I accept it."

"Why do you come to Baizhou to buy a house if your family's conditions are not good? You can also buy it in Songyang, which is 2000 yuan a square meter cheaper than Baizhou." Yuan Huifang raised her legs unconsciously. Putting down her legs, Yuan Liu has been staring at her for this habit ever since the doctor said that she should not cross her legs.

"No one cares about the house in the county now. Kaiming and I are thinking that if we don't buy it now, it will be more expensive in a few years. It was delayed for more than a year because of hesitation, and now we can't bear the price. Tianlei I still have to come to the city to study in junior high school, and when I grow up, it will be a blink of an eye, how can I find someone to marry if I don’t have a house in Baizhou?” Hu Muzhi said, and picked up a chicken leg for Yu Tianlei, and the picky eater threw it back plate.

And Yu Jin didn't say a word the whole time, just silently counting the rice particles.

"We, Yu Jin, are working now. We can earn more than 3000 yuan a month when we go to massage parlors. It will only take a few years to save 10 yuan. Third sister, don't worry about us reneging on our debts. We will definitely have to pay off. If not, we will sign a contract." , invite someone to be a witness." Hu Muzhi shook out with Yu Jin's purpose of visiting the door, and Yuan Liu looked at Yu Jin sympathetically—the girl paused while eating, then stared down at her legs without saying a word .

Yuan Huifang said that whoever is a parent does not think about their children, but Muzhi, I really have no money.You have to know that I am divorced, living alone with my children on this small restaurant and a little rent.Don't you know how much Liu Maosong paid for me?Where can I get [-]?

"Then, [-], or [-] to [-] is fine." Hu Muzhi said, sister, your family used to open hotels and various shops, which is much easier to make money than our country.

Yuan Huifang laughed, "Well, it's better to borrow than earn money."

This remark will not give Hu Muzhi face, she puts down her chopsticks, "Sister, you can't talk like that, our two families are no better than other relatives—" She looked at Yuan Liu, "This is my fate born in October of my pregnancy "I see that you have no children, so I reluctantly gave up the third child to you to raise, and you will depend on this child for the rest of your life.Can't you help her mother and brother?

Su Hai couldn't sit still when he heard this, and his butt bounced up as if he had been stung.She nervously watched the smoky situation in Xiaoliu's house, evaluating the probability of her doing something soon.Still alive?Su Hai didn't hold back his contemptuous gaze, and glanced at Hu Muzhi who didn't need to draft his words.

The air in the store gradually froze, Yuan Huifang rolled her yellow and white eyeballs, she looked at Hu Muzhi, and finally turned her head to look at Yuan Liu, the calmness in her eyes was moved after seeing Yuan Liu's smile, she turned her head and took the cup again drink tea.

"Auntie, there are procedures for me to be adopted by my mother, isn't it abducted?" Yuan Liu asked suddenly.

"That's the reason... But you have to talk about blood relationship, don't you?" Hu Muzhi said, Xiao Liu, you are not the kind of cold-hearted child.

"My mother is telling the truth. My family really has no money. If I had money, I wouldn't have gotten up at four or five in the morning to buy and wash vegetables." Yuan Liu said, aunt, I don't understand your buying a house. But the size of the foot wears the size of the shoe.You expect Miss Yu Jin to pay back the money, so let me ask you, is her name written on the house you bought?

Hu Muzhi never imagined that a teenager who was only in his teens could say such spicy words, Yuan Huifang had long since accepted the blame, and looked at Yuan Liu with a pursed smile.

Yu Jin also raised her head at this time, she glanced at Yu Ren in surprise, glanced at Hu Muzhi, then quickly lowered her head.

"The house is for Tianlei to marry..." Hu Muzhi felt guilty when Yuan Liu looked at her. Yuan Liu said, "Auntie, you don't need to worry about our family's pension and end of life. I will respect my mother well."It’s true that she didn’t give birth to me, but she raised me and taught me. She was so tired that she couldn’t straighten up and insisted on opening a shop to save money for my education. Some mothers can’t do this.

"But I gave birth to you!" Hu Muzhi lost all simplicity, and started to slap on the table.After giving birth to Yu Tianlei, her temper became more violent, and she even dared to quarrel with her fellow villagers.People say that Hu Muzhi's son really supported her by fate.

"That's your business." Yuan Liu said that I didn't ask you to live, and I didn't expect you to raise him. Legally, Yuan Huifang is my mother. She looked at Yuan Huifang, "Mom, we can't afford the money, but we have it. I don't agree to borrow it either!"

When Hu Muzhi took Yu Jin and Yu Tianlei to leave, he pointed at Yuan Liu and cursed, "I knew I would have betrayed you back then!"

Yuan Liu's body trembled, and tears immediately began to roll.Yuan Huifang protected her daughter and chased her out, "You are the one Guan Sheng raised, shameless!"

On the contrary, Yu Jin turned her head and took a deep look at Yuan Liu. Yuan Liu gritted her teeth and wiped away tears, "Mom—" she called Yuan Huifang, her voice trembling.

"Hey, mom is here." Yuan Huifang rarely held his daughter's face affectionately, "Good boy, it's okay, let's ignore them."

Su Hai felt distressed looking at Yuan Liu, "Xiao Liu, don't recognize that mother, bad luck."
