Chapter 693: We can’t let those who work hard suffer!
The most important thing is that Ye Xinghao's composition is good, Xiaoshuan also learned something from him, the composition scores were improved, and the whole enthusiasm for learning was gradually gathered.
Xiao Shuan entered the room and took out a few dimes from a small box. After thinking for a while, he went to Shen Shuang again and asked, "Sister, can you give me two food coupons?"
Shen Shuang slightly tensed up and said, "You are still young and you don't want to split up the family, what do you want the food coupons for?"
"My classmate Ye Xinghao came and asked me to borrow fifty cents. I planned to lend him two more food coupons."
Shen Shuang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you wait."
Shen Shuang stood up from the chair she was sitting on and took out two food coupons, one for cornmeal and one for black flour. "Here, take them to him."
"Yeah, that's great, thank you!"
Shen Shuang smiled and said, "Go ahead."
"Well, I'm going down."
Xiao Shuan gave Ye Xinghao 50 cents and two food coupons. Ye Xinghao bit his lip and said, "Xiao Shuan, I will never forget your kindness!"
Xiaoshuan stretched out his fist and gently hit him, saying, "What are you doing? Good brothers should help each other!"
Ye Xinghao wiped his tears and said, "I thought you would cut off contact with me. This is the first time I ask someone to lend me money, and I'm afraid of being rejected."
"Don't worry, if I have money, I won't worry about lending it to you. I can still earn it back!"
"How to make money?"
Ye Xinghao immediately became interested and asked.
"I carry water for the family and cook the dishes. Brother Ercheng will check on me. If I do a good job, he will give me a little reward. Sometimes it's 50 cents, sometimes 80 cents!"
Ye Xinghao swallowed his saliva: "So many?"
Xiaoshuan immediately wiped his nose with the back of his left hand and said, "I'm telling you, if you want to make some money, you can chop some firewood after school and bring it to my house. I'll ask my sister to buy it for you, and I can make a few cents each time!"
Ye Xinghao nodded immediately: "That's settled, I'll go chop wood right away!"
Ye Xinghao went back immediately, carrying a knife and a rope, and went up to Wakenggou to chop firewood.
But when he got to the door, his grandfather said, "Silly boy, you can't chop wood. Let me do the wood-chopping. I can still move for a few more years. You should study hard. This is the way out!"
Ye Xinghao looked at it, and his grandfather snatched his tools and went to chop wood with his old steps.
Ye Xinghao had no choice but to go back and give all the money and food coupons to his grandmother Zhu Guilian.
He repeatedly asked his grandmother to buy some paper money for the dead so that he could visit his father's grave!
Zhu Guilian immediately went to the cooperative, bought a small stack of paper money, and weighed out some food to take back.
She also kept the money and food coupons in mind.
She has been anxious to do work points these days, such as mowing the grass and weeding the fields, trying hard to earn some work points.
Zheng Chunxiao used to do the same when he was at home, but now the task of raising the only grandson has fallen on these two elderly people.
Therefore, they had to work hard to survive and earn work points in order to get food coupons and earn money.
At this time, Zhu Guilian met Lu Cheng on the way back. She hurriedly told Lu Cheng that her grandson had borrowed fifty cents and food coupons from his younger brother Xiaoshuan. She hoped that Lu Cheng would not blame Xiaoshuan after knowing it.
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. You don't have to rush to return it to us. We don't need it urgently."
Zhu Guilian said excitedly: "Oh, thank you so much!"
Lu Cheng smiled and rode his bike back to the village.
Zhu Guilian also asked during the chat just now, what is the market price of one kilogram of wet firewood? How much is it?
Lu Cheng told her the general idea, that is, if the old man in her family chopped wood and carried it halfway up the mountain every day, he could also earn a few cents in pocket money.
This is a huge income!
Because both old people are slow in their hands and feet, but they are trying their best to raise their grandchildren.
In the evening, Zhu Guilian talked to Ye Yingshan, her old man, about the situation.
Ye Xinghao also sat together to eat.
The dinner was a small bowl of sauerkraut mixed with some crushed garlic. It was quite salty but went well with rice.
The meal was cornmeal and vegetable pancakes, and a bowl of vegetable and scallion soup.
The three of them ate together. Ye Xinghao was trying hard to eat his meal while listening to his grandmother and grandfather report the situation.
Ye Yingshan said: "The firewood is probably about 50 kilograms. If it is left outside overnight and is soaked in dew, it can be sold for a few more kilograms tomorrow, but this is not humane!
Lu Cheng was kind enough to buy our firewood, but we returned the firewood wet with dew. This is such a despicable behavior? It makes me feel guilty! "
Zhu Guilian immediately said, "I'll go get the firewood and put it in the kitchen, so it won't be too wet tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, move in!"
Ye Xinghao tensed up a little. His grandfather was a very upright and courageous man!
At least his grandfather doesn't like to take advantage of others, and it's also a good inspiration for him.
You can’t just turn your back on your friend after he helped you!
Ye Xinghao ate the food that was enough for him to survive, and in his heart he secretly studied hard for his future!
And it was Lu Cheng who personally discovered the scandal between Zheng Chunxiao and his second uncle Lu Xunwang!
Lu Cheng brought a piece of wolf steak and wolf belly from home, took ten yuan, and a few food coupons, and walked easily to Ye Xinghao's house.
"Uncle Ye, have you had dinner?"
As Lu Cheng stepped into the courtyard, a handsome voice was heard.
Ye Yingshan immediately put down the bowl and said, "Oh, it's Ercheng, come in and sit down."
Zhu Guilian immediately said, "Xiao Ercheng, why did you bring so much meat?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Auntie Zhu, this meat is to thank you for your grandson, who personally taught our Xiaoshuan his homework and improved his Chinese composition scores. This meat is for you!
Here are ten dollars and a few food coupons. Consider them as our savings to lend to you."
Zhu Guilian's eyes immediately turned red and a few tears fell: "This~this favor is really profound!"
Ye Yingshan covered his eyes lightly, his eyes blurred by turbid tears: "To be honest, we should thank Ercheng for letting us know the truth about our son's death. Although it is difficult for the two of us to raise our grandson, Zheng Chunxiao and that Lu Xunwang must have died a miserable death!"
"Yes, the bad guys can't let them have an easy time!"
Ye Yingshan said fiercely and sobbed.
Ye Xinghao said with a clear look in his eyes: "Brother Ercheng, I didn't think of teaching Xiaoshuan homework so that you can give me meat."
Lu Cheng took two steps, put his hands gently on Ye Xinghao’s pair of tender shoulders and said: “Xinghao, if you think about rewards when you teach homework, that is your own selfishness;
It’s normal to have a little greed; don’t panic!
But you didn’t think that what I sent you was also my reward for the hard work you put in. This is what I should give you!
We can’t let those who work hard suffer losses! ”
