That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 190 Brother, don’t you know that the consultant is okay?

Jiang Xiaoning left dejectedly. He still had dozens of miles to go home, and it was painful to think about it in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

Li Ye said in a funny way: "You are so powerful as the eldest sister in the family! I didn't realize you were so powerful before."

"If you don't become more powerful, you won't be bullied to death."

Jiang Xiaoyan pursed her lips at first. After seeing what Li Juan had in her hand, she said sheepishly, "You don't have to come here. The Chinese New Year will cause you more trouble."

Li Ye waved his hand and said: "You are out of sight now. If I hadn't heard from my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have known that your mother was here and was hospitalized. Is it okay, auntie?"

Jiang Xiaoyan's face suddenly darkened, and she said worriedly: "Pneumonia, the doctor said that you will need to be on the IV fluids for at least a week."

In the 80s, ordinary people would just take medicine if they were sick. But once they were put on a hanging bottle, it would feel like a serious illness, so Jiang Xiaoyan was worried even when she went to bed for the past two days.

Li Ye and Li Juan entered the ward, and it turned out that Chen Jinhua happened to be asleep. Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to wake her up, but Li Ye stopped her.

"Your mother is too weak now, let her sleep more! My grandma said that she will send some millet porridge or something in the next few days, don't be polite to me."

"I really don't want to be polite to you," Jiang Xiaoyan said calmly: "After my mother recovers from her illness, I want to take her to the capital. See if you can talk to Brother Peng and open a letter of introduction for my mother. Okay. Rent her a house.”

Li Ye looked at Jiang Xiaoyan in surprise and said, "Are you serious? Do you really want your mother to open a noodle shop in the capital? You have to endure hardships when you go out."

Jiang Xiaoyan smiled and said: "I endure hardship at home, and I endure hardship in the capital. I would rather my mother endure hardship under my nose than lying on the kang like this with no one to care about her."

"Then you just have to think about it," Li Ye agreed without hesitation: "Anyway, we have a yard in the capital. Let your mother see where she wants to live. Jin Peng, Uncle Hong, and Lao Song are all here, too. It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”

Jiang Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly and said: "I think so too. I owe you again, but I owe you more. I don't have to worry about the debt."

Li Ye joked and said with a smile: "You don't owe me anything. The rent is RMB [-] per month and you have to pay it at the end of the month!"

Li Ye's "stingy" behavior made Jiang Xiaoyan feel a lot more comfortable, and she nodded vigorously in agreement.

In fact, she came to Li Ye to find a caregiver for her mother, Chen Jinhua.

After all, it would be difficult for a woman to live in the capital in an unfamiliar place, but having a group of fellow villagers from Qingshui County looking after each other made her feel more at ease.

She must owe this love, and at worst, she can just pay it back twice as much in the future.

Jiang Xiaoyan felt a lot more relaxed after taking care of the big things she was worried about.

She looked at the old woman in the ward who was still awake, and said to Li Ye, "Can you help take care of my mother for two hours? I'll go sell the bicycle and I'll be back soon."

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh and said: "Are you going to completely draw a line with your family? Why don't you ask your mother if she is willing?"

Jiang Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "If we and I are living a prosperous life, we can't stop it even if we kill them. If our lives are not good, even if we kneel down and beg them, we won't get any benefits."

"."

Li Ye looked at Jiang Xiaoyan's stubborn eyes, nodded, and said softly: "The more you live, the more you understand."

. . . . . .

Jiang Xiaoyan pushed her bicycle to the market in the west of the county.

It was already the twenties of the twelfth lunar month, and there were spontaneous markets in Qingshui County every day. She was going to sell her bicycle now so that she and her mother could have something to rely on to live in the capital.

There were also a few bicycle sellers in the market, but they were either rusty, missing parts or peeling paint, and they were not on the same level as Jiang Xiaoyan's ninety-nine new ones.

Jiang Xiaoyan has been doing sales promotion in Beijing for so long, and she has also learned a simple and direct method. She takes a piece of cardboard and writes "New car 190 yuan" and directly inserts it on the handlebar.

This immediately attracted a lot of questions.

"Girl, do you want to sell this bicycle?"

"Well, 190 yuan, no price."

"Your car is not new. It has been stamped and branded."

"It's less than two months old, and it's just like new."

"A new car is only less than one hundred and sixty. You are selling it for one hundred and ninety. It's too expensive."

"Don't sell it if it's cheap."

"."

Jiang Xiaoyan understands that the more someone dislikes your stuff, the more they want to buy it, and the shorter and more powerful her answer will be.

If the seller is constantly bickering with the buyer, he or she will not be able to get a good price.

So Jiang Xiaoyan just kept her head down and ignored her. Anyway, the car was locked and no one could take it away. She wanted to buy it or not.

Many people have taken a fancy to Jiang Xiaoyan's bicycle, but the price is indeed a bit high. But if there is a bicycle ticket, who will come to buy a bicycle?
"Jiang Xiaoyan, is this bicycle yours?"

A pair of siblings suddenly stood in front of Jiang Xiaoyan, and the elder sister asked Jiang Xiaoyan in surprise.

Jiang Xiaoyan raised her head and saw that it was Lu Jingyao and her brother Lu Zixue.

"Well, it's mine."

Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at Lu Jingyao and almost responded with her nose.

Lu Jingyao clearly felt Jiang Xiaoyan's displeasure with her, and she wanted to leave in embarrassment, but her brother Lu Zixue held her sleeve back.

In the entire market, Jiang Xiaoyan's Phoenix is ​​the only one, and it's almost brand new. After seeing this car, where else can I see it?
Lu Jingyao turned around helplessly and asked Jiang Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, can you sell me this bicycle?"

Jiang Xiaoyan said calmly: "This is not about selling my daughter. I have to choose a good family and I will sell it to whoever pays."

"."

Lu Jingyao couldn't keep his face any longer, so he turned around and left.

She felt that Jiang Xiaoyan was connoting herself and that she had "sold" it to Li Ye in order to treat her mother.

When Lu Zixue saw his sister running away, he quickly caught up with her and insisted on buying Jiang Xiaoyan's Phoenix.

Phoenix bicycle is a thorn in his heart. If he misses this one, who knows where the next one will be?

Lu Jingyao finally got fed up and cursed coldly: "Can't you go to school without a bicycle? Can't you live without a bicycle? We only have so much money at home, do you have to spend it all?"

But Lu Zixue shouted loudly: "You are going to study in the UK soon. You can just work and study to earn a few pounds. How many bicycles can our family not afford?"

"."

The noisy market fell into silence, then burst into commotion.

"My dear, this girl is going to study abroad? She's actually going to England."

"Then if she studies abroad, isn't she just like Xu Lingjun's father in The Wrangler? Can she become a billionaire?"

"I don't know, but I heard from my niece that you can earn a lot of money in foreign countries, and those who wash dishes all drive cars."

Jiang Xiaoyan understood clearly that Lu Zixue was showing off, and this grandson was showing off to herself.

Studying abroad is very glorious, but what does it have to do with me?
"Bicycles for sale, brand new Phoenix bicycles, non-discount price of [-], first come first served"

Jiang Xiaoyan, who had been squatting on the ground for a long time, suddenly started selling.

"Daughter, I only brought one hundred and sixty, so be it! You come with me, and I'll get thirty for you when I get home, okay?"

"I have one hundred and eighty here, sell it to me Nizi."

Several people who were interested in the bicycle couldn't hold back their anger and came over to snatch the bicycle one after another.

Lu Zixue said anxiously: "Sister, let's buy it! After you leave, if my mother has a headache or fever, I can rush back and forth to take care of her."

Lu Jingyao closed her eyes and took a breath before calming down.

After she left Qingshui County in the summer, she originally planned not to come back, but after being selected as an international student, she traveled across the ocean. Not only did she not know her return date, but she also needed to come back to complete some procedures.

That's why Lu Jingyao came back to see his father and mother.

As a result, she unexpectedly met an old friend, which disturbed her mind and made her extremely annoyed. "Hey, why does the ghost of an irresolvable debt still linger?"

Lu Jingyao took out all the money from his pocket, stuffed it into Lu Zixue's hand, and walked out of the market in a daze.

Lu Zixue didn't care what happened to his sister. He took the money and quickly ran to Jiang Xiaoyan and counted the money directly to Jiang Xiaoyan.

"190 yuan, a lot of money."

Jiang Xiaoyan took the money coldly and threw the key to Lu Zixue.

Then she looked at the shaky back in the distance and hummed softly: "Sooner or later you will be exhausted!"

. . . . . .

When Jiang Xiaoyan returned to the county hospital, Chen Jinhua was already awake and chatting and laughing with Li Ye and Li Juan.

Jiang Xiaoyan was a little confused. How could two people who were more than 20 years apart and whose status was very different talk so harmoniously?

[Perhaps, this is what makes Li Ye so lovable! 】

Jiang Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, but finally called Li Ye outside and told him that Lu Jingyao was going to study in the UK.

"Li Ye, your English is actually better. You can also take the TOEFL test next year. I heard that you don't need to go to Hong Kong to take the TOEFL test now. You can take the test in Beijing."

"Why should I take the TOEFL test? I'm not planning to study abroad."

"."

Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I thought you were better than Lu Jingyao. I thought you and Wen Leyu would consider studying abroad."

Li Yehun said nonchalantly: "Who is better than the other does not depend on whether you study abroad. Besides, Xiaoyan, don't be blinded by the illusion.

What is good in foreign countries belongs to foreigners after all, and our country is the place where we can take root and grow. "

Until Li Ye and Li Juan left, Jiang Xiaoyan was thinking about Li Ye's words.

Now is the time to study abroad. Which college student doesn’t want to study abroad?The classmates in Jiang Xiaoyan's school were all scrambling for a spot.

As a result, someone like Li Ye, who is capable and has a backdoor, and can almost be said to be "easily available", wants to take root in China, which is really confusing.

Especially when Jiang Xiaoyan spoke of "Lu Jingyao" very carefully, Jiang Xiaoyan admired Li Ye's indifferent and calm demeanor.

Only when you can take things up and put them down can you be a real man.

But then Jiang Xiaoyan thought of the radiant Wen Leyu and the obviously tired Lu Jingyao, and made a decision.

"A blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise!"

"Yan'er, what are you talking about? What kind of horse? What kind of blessing?"

"A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise, mother. What this means is that although you suffer a loss now, you may not be unable to enjoy blessings in the future. So when you get better, come with me to the capital to enjoy blessings."

"But what about your brother and your father?"

"You can send them money! As long as you send them money, they will be willing to let you stay in the capital and never come back."

"Well, you are right, your father is really that kind of person, but"

"Oh, stop it."

Jiang Xiaoyan made up her mind while coaxing her mother.

When they arrived in the capital, they implemented formal management and took away my mother's financial power. If she wanted to send money home, it would depend on Jiang Xiaoyan's face.

. . . . . . .

On the early morning of New Year's Eve, a Jingcheng 130 parked in front of Li Ye's house.

Jin Peng, Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Hong got out of the car and began to move things one by one from the car.

After hearing the commotion, Han Chunmei opened the door and was almost shocked when she saw a lot of New Year's goods at the door.

"What are you doing?"

"Auntie, we are sending New Year's gifts to Master! You can see which room to put them in, and we will move them in."

"Hey, our family doesn't accept gifts. Just wait!"

Han Chunmei hurriedly went in and called Li Kaijian, and then alerted Director Li.

When Li Zhongfa saw it was Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang, he said with a straight face: "What kind of day are you sending out New Year's goods? If you don't know better, you might think I'm accepting bribes and gifts!"

"Hey, Master, aren't we back late? If anyone dares to accuse you of accepting a gift, I will come immediately to help him find out which eye is wrong."

Jin Peng smiled, but felt aggrieved in his heart.

In order to make money for your grandson, we were busy until yesterday afternoon when we closed the door. We drove from the capital for more than ten hours overnight, but you still dislike it.

Grandma Wu Juying couldn't stand it anymore and said to Jin Peng: "Don't listen to your master's nonsense. He just likes to show off. Jin Peng looks at what you are wearing. You must be doing well outside this year!"

That day I met your future wife, hey, she was so fashionable, others said she was a boss lady! "

"It's alright."

Jin Peng touched his scalp and replied nonchalantly while complaining in his heart.

Your grandson is the big boss, and your granddaughter-in-law is much more awesome than the boss lady.

But when Wu Juying saw Wang Qiangqiang, she couldn't help but frowned: "Qiangzi, have you been wronged outside?"

Wang Qiangqiang said with a naive smile: "Nai, I'm not wronged, I just dress up like this as a driver."

Wu Juying looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was covered in old clothes, and couldn't help complaining to Jin Peng: "Qiangzi has a good heart, you have to think of him. If you wait for him to fight for it by himself, how can he win against those with sharp eyes and quick hands?" ?”

"Ahem, cough, cough, you old woman, what do you know? Hurry up and get some food."

Li Zhongfa coughed several times before rushing Wu Juying to the kitchen to make breakfast, which was a relief for Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang.

He is so old and sophisticated, why can't he see that Wang Jianqiang deliberately looks shabby?
Who is this for?Do you still need to ask?

"Xiaoye, Xiaoye, your brothers and sisters have been here for a long time and they are still staying in bed!"

Director Li's voice finally called Li Ye out of his warm bed.

When he saw Wang Jianqiang, he couldn't help but laugh.

There was a patch on the old cotton-padded jacket, and Deliang's trousers were a bit shorter. Even the pair of suede cotton boots were normal. This look was a bit joyful.

"Qiangzi, your brother Peng took care of this for you?"

"No, I did it myself, hehehe, brother, don't laugh at me."

Li Ye shook his head and laughed, but he didn't laugh in his heart.

The naive Wang Jianqiang also knows the principle of not exposing wealth.

"Qiangzi, you have to tell me, how much money do you plan to tell your family this year? Don't let your mother miss it then."

Wang Jianqiang stretched out a finger and said: "My monthly salary of one hundred, after deducting food and drink, I have saved one thousand."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Then how much do you think your mother will leave you?"

Wang Jianqiang lowered his head, smiled, and stretched out three fingers in embarrassment.

"Three hundred? Or thirty?"

"Brother, can you please stop asking questions knowingly?"

　Thanks to book friend "Firefly Star" for the 500-coin reward, and thanks to my brother for his generosity.
