Post-80s Rebirth Daily

Chapter 15 By Car

Two weeks later, Xu Jianbing will take Wang Mei to visit the elderly in the countryside on weekends, and send living expenses to the family by the way.He would go back every two or three months, and sometimes he would take Xu Xinning and his brother with him.

This time Xu Ningyu wanted to go to the county seat, so she said to Xu Jianbing, "Dad, I want my sister to take me to the county seat."

Letting his son and daughter go so far alone, Xu Jianbing was worried, and hurriedly coaxed: "You want to play, I will take you there next week. You two children, what if you encounter bad people bullying you?"

Wang Mei couldn't help chiming in from the sidelines: "Yes, we'll go with our family later." She was mainly afraid of spending money.

Xu Ningyu shook Xu Jianbing's arm and acted coquettishly: "I want to go. I also want brother Li Lei to go with him. He is strong and can beat bad guys!" With a child's tone, he has become accustomed to it.

Xu Jianbing was so entangled by his son that he couldn't help it.Thinking about it, the kid didn't make any request, so he really couldn't bear to refuse, and said dumbfoundedly: "Okay, okay, then you go to the shopping mall and don't run around. Xiaoxin, be careful, Look at your brother."

In the past two years, they have only experienced severe crackdowns, and the social atmosphere is very good.The daughter is twelve years old, tall and tall, like a young adult, Xu Jianbing has always been very reassuring about her.

"Okay, I'll watch my brother!" Xu Xinning and Xu Ningyu looked at each other and nodded vigorously with a smile.Being able to go out and play without an adult following is simply a dream scene for children.

Wang Mei felt a little uncomfortable.Going to the county town can't afford it without a few dollars, and Xiaoyu still has to take that wild child with no father or mother.She often went out to visit, and she had already inquired clearly with others, that kid was very evil, and the fights were terribly fierce.So every time Li Lei came, Wang Mei didn't dare to provoke him too much.

Wang Mei endured it, and said: "You can go by yourself, why take him there, the round trip is only about one yuan, can the family give this money?"

Xu Ningyu glanced at her: "Brother Li Lei takes good care of me so much. If he has no money, I can pay for his travel expenses. I don't need my family to give me a few cents. I have the manuscript fee I earned last time."

It's amazing to make money!Wang Mei was choked, forgetting that this kid had money.She sneered, and immediately said: "How can I use your money, you save the money yourself, and let your father pay for the money for going out to play." Anyway, Xu Jianbing paid for it, and the free favors are not for nothing.

"Yes, Dad." Xu Jianbing also nodded with a smile, and counted out ten pieces and handed them to Xu Xinning. "Your sister will take care of the money. You can buy whatever you want when you go out, and you don't have to save."

"Thank you dad." Xu Ningyu's voice was super sweet.

"Let's say dad is all right now." Xu Jianbing picked up his son with a smile and threw him up, Wang Mei felt even more distressed.

The next morning, Xu Ningyu was not in such a hurry to get up.The first bus of the No. 06 bus to the county departs at 30:20 in the morning, and the next bus leaves at intervals of more than [-] minutes. You can go shopping in one day.

He lay on the bed with the quilt rolled up for a while, and when he heard Xu Jianbing and Wang Mei taking Jinlong out, he slowly got up and put on his clothes.It takes a long time to transfer two buses to go to the countryside, so Xu Jianbing has to catch the first bus.

Seeing that her younger brother had woken up, Xu Xinning immediately poured water for brushing his teeth and washing his face.Xu Ningyu said once that she could come by herself, but Xu Xinning insisted on helping because she was afraid that he would drop the thermos bottle and burn herself.

Xu Ningyu brushed her teeth, and was washing her face seriously with his special towel, when she heard a knock on the door, and at the same time, Li Lei's beaming voice came from outside.

"I'm coming!"

Xu Xinning opened the door, and Li Lei rushed in with a smile, bringing a sudden chill.

"Didn't you agree to go out at eight o'clock, and you came so early." Xu Ningyu glanced at Li Lei, continued to wipe his face clean, took cream from the shelf and applied it to his face and hands,

"I can't sleep, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I'm here." Li Lei was so excited, like a child going on a spring outing.

He was still holding a bulging cloth bag in his hand, and he took things out of the bag while talking: "I brought a bag of biscuits that your dad bought last time, and three bags of instant noodles. Didn't you say you won't come back at noon?" Okay, let's have lunch at noon."

"Haven't finished eating yet?" Xu Ningyu didn't expect that such a small amount of snacks could be kept after a month.

Li Lei was not embarrassed, and said frankly: "I don't want to eat it all at once. If I wake up hungry at night, I only eat a bag, and I will leave it now." He also gave his cousin a bag, which is generous enough up.

Xu Ningyu felt a little complicated when he heard it, so he said, "Put it in my sister's schoolbag later." In fact, he was going to find a restaurant outside for lunch at noon, but Li Lei sent over the things he cherished so much, and he didn't mind. It's a good idea to blow people's minds.

He turned his head and asked Xu Xinning again: "Sister, did Auntie leave us a lot of food? Li Lei didn't eat too, right? Let's go out to eat if there isn't much food." Wang Mei didn't pay much attention to food.

Xu Xinning went to the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot to have a look: "There are only two steamed buns, I'll make some more thin noodles."

"Don't bother, go out to eat." Xu Ningyu's pockets are now bulging, and he is very rich.

Li Lei rubbed his little head with a smile: "Our Xiaoyu has become the young master of the landlord's family, and money is not spent like this. I drank a bowl of porridge in the morning, please order some noodles."

The first time he came to Xu's house, he called Xu Xinning "sister" very naturally, and he was very familiar with him.Xu Xinning is one year older than him, and the girl grows fast, she looks about the same height as Li Lei, and he is not bad for calling her sister.

Xu Xinning answered and went to work in the kitchen.

Xu Ningyu quickly got rid of Li Lei, stood on tiptoes, and looked at the mirror embedded in the middle of the wash stand.As expected, the hair was messed up, so he gave Li Lei a sideways glance, picked up the comb and combed the hair neatly again.

"It's so stinky!" Li Lei looked amused, and moved his head to take a picture, and two heads, one big and one small, appeared in the mirror.He laughed for a while, then picked up the washbasin and went to the kitchen, poured out Xu Ningyu's washing water.

After Xu Xinning ordered the noodles, the three of them sat around the dining table and started to eat them warmly.Li Lei ate another steamed bun with dried pickled radish before rubbing his stomach in satisfaction.Suddenly remembered something, he took out a handful of paper notes from his trousers pocket and put them on the table.

"I'm earning money too, today's fare is mine." Li Lei was full of pride.Finally, he was able to spend money for Xiaoyu. He was in a great mood, happily smoothing the ten and twenty cents notes with his hands.

Xu Ningyu glanced at it, and found that it must be more than one yuan. Li Lei's family would not give him so much pocket money at one time, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What did you do to earn money?" What can Li Lei do to make money at his age?

"I need to move bricks to build the courtyard wall in the quarry. I moved for a day and earned three yuan. I don't move as much as adults, so I can only get so much money." Li Lei pointed out three fingers, and at the same time he was very worried. Pity.

He really wants to grow up quickly.It would be great if he was an adult. An adult can move 5000 yuan of bricks a day and earn 1000 or [-] yuan.He went there early in the morning, and after moving more than [-] yuan, he was too tired to lift his arms. It was really hard to earn money.

Xu Ningyu frowned.Knocking stones is the name here for mining rocks. It is probably the kind of illegal open-pit quarry that even recruits 11-year-old child laborers like Li Lei.However, at this time, the country had not promulgated labor laws, and did not explicitly prohibit the use of child labor.

Moving bricks is very hard physical work, and it may affect physical development if it is done for a long time.Xu Ningyu frowned tightly, and asked Li Lei, "How many times have you done this kind of work?"

Seeing that Xu Ningyu's face was not very good-looking, Li Lei was quite happy at first, but suddenly he felt a little uneasy, and said honestly, "Just this time."

In the past, he didn't spend money if he had no money, and he didn't think about earning money in the past. This was the first time.He was so tired that his arms were shaking when he rode the bike the next day, but thinking about spending money for Xiaoyu gave him energy.

Once was fine.Xu Ningyu felt relieved, and warned Li Lei very seriously: "Don't go there in the future, you won't grow up if you do too much of that kind of work. You are still a child, so don't spend it if you don't have money, don't think so much."

Li Lei was taken aback when he heard that.Xiaoyu is a little fat kid, he is a little bit tall, but calling him a kid makes him feel a little funny.But why is my heart so warm?

"I see, let's just listen to you." Li Lei just grinned.He knew that Xiaoyu was treating him well. Some classmates laughed at him for being a mother to a seven-year-old child, so he didn't care about those idiots.Xiaoyu is so good, what do they know.

Xu Ningyu looked at the wall clock. It was almost time. She went to the bedroom and took out her schoolbag, took out a few ten-yuan paper notes and handed them to Xu Xinning, and gave Li Lei two more: "The money will be divided, we will pack a little."

It was also the first time Xu Xinning got so much money, she opened her mouth in surprise, "Xiaoyu, where did you get so much money?"

"It's the manuscript fee for my writing." Xu Ningyu explained a little.He was afraid that Xu Xinning would be timid and dare not hide it from Xu Jianbing, so he didn't tell her.

Xu Xinning couldn't regain her senses when she heard this: "You are too bold. So much money, have you spent it?"

"You should bring more money when you go out, and you don't have to spend all of it." Xu Ningyu coaxed Xu Xinning to put a few paper tickets into their schoolbags. Today they both carried their schoolbags, leaving only a few ten-cent bills in their pockets for the convenience of taking the bus.

Li Lei didn't want money, so he stuffed it into Xu Ningyu's schoolbag: "I don't have any book wrapping, so I put it in your bag, and I'll carry it for you." He carried Xu Ningyu's schoolbag on his chest.

After going out, he squatted down slightly, pulled back his hands, and carried Xu Ningyu on his back. "Let's go, hurry up and grab a seat!" Li Lei trotted forward with a smile.

Xu Ningyu was taken aback, and quickly grabbed Li Lei's shoulder: "Slow down!"

Li Lei didn't listen to him, and yelled: "Give me strength!" and ran downstairs in a "thump, boom, boom."Xu Xinning quickly locked the door with a big lock, and trotted behind.

Li Lei felt that he had really acquired magical powers, and was very excited. He ran all the way to the mine gate, sweating from exhaustion.There was already a dark group of people standing in the open space over there, and it seemed that they all wanted to take a car.

After standing still for a while, a four-way car drove over from a distance. Li Lei quickly put Xu Ningyu on the ground, patted his little shoulder with high spirits, and said to Xu Xinning: "Sister, you take Xiaoyu behind, don't be in a hurry Get in the car, and don't let Xiaoyu squeeze in. I'll grab a seat."

It's about an hour's drive to the county seat. With so many people, there are definitely not enough seats in the car. Li Lei doesn't want Xiaoyu to stand all the way, so hard.

Before the No. [-] car stopped, he looked in the direction of the door, opened his legs and started to run.
