Chapter 19: Spend money

　　 The two broke up in front of the village, and they didn't make an appointment to play in the afternoon and tomorrow. There were a lot of things to do when school was off. Especially in this harvest season, they are now half of their labor. Wang Changning’s chestnut is a late-maturing variety, and it is harvesting these days. It will only be harder to be at home these two days than at school.

　　 Grandpa took Rui Rui at home, and the meal was ready. The uncle and his wife also took Rongrong to harvest chestnuts on the mountain. As for the grandpa's house, the uncle and the third uncle had already helped him harvest them two days ago, and they are now piled in the backyard.

　　Ignoring the meal, my grandfather went under the pillow and gave it the two remittance slips, as well as the package with the sample publications. Grandpa has not opened it yet.

　　 Of course Feng Yiping was very pleased. Although he looked confident when he sent it out, in fact, in the full confidence at the time, he had a lot of motivation for himself.

It's just that the family needs money very much, and he also needs money very much. This is currently the only way to make money that suits him. Sending two articles is a real desperate move. If it doesn't work, he won't be able to ask grandpa for money again. Contributing to other magazines, I didn’t expect it to be finished!

　　 The story is so simple, he probably turned it over, and chose a little joke from him, which is also something he has experienced.

　　 When his son was not in kindergarten, the family of three went to the farmers’ market to buy vegetables. On the way back, when he saw a fishing net that was drying, his son asked Zhang Yan, who didn’t know what it was, and Zhang Yan replied, “That’s for fishing.” The son thought for a while and asked, “Is it because the fish are bad? ?" The two aunts who were sitting on the fishing nets fluttered and laughed.

　　 is only a few dozen words, but five yuan, which is actually quite a lot. He pointed this story to his grandfather, and went to unpack the other package by himself.

　　 He tore open the thick large leather bag envelope with his hands. Inside were three new copies of the October issue of Harvest, and a letter from the editor. He turned to the page of his article, read it quickly, and made little changes, then read the editor's letter.

　　 The edited letter is not long, but it is handwritten. It is said that his works are close to life, the protagonist is vividly portrayed, and the main theme is also very consistent with the mainstream of today's society-in current terms, it is politically correct. Now I hope that the project is in full swing. However, he still has a lot of room for improvement in writing and making sentences. I hope that he will continue to improve in the process of work and life in the future. He will feel attentively, observe more carefully, and create more and better things that reflect the lives of ordinary people. The work comes, and finally, you can submit it later and you can directly submit it to the editor.

　　 Grandpa looked at his typefaced work with reading glasses, Rui Rui babbled and stretched out Chubby's hand to tear the colorful cover of Grandpa's hand. Feng Yiping walked over to take Ruirui over, and grandpa said, "Let it go first, wait for a good look, eat now."

　　 "Good grandpa, I will leave this book to you."

Grandpa couldn't help but praise him, "Yiping, making money is small. I am glad that you have this talent! The postman who delivered the letter told me that for so many years, only a few people in the town have received the contribution fee, and they are all in the county. In the newspapers here, the maximum is only seven yuan, which is completely incomparable to you."

　　 Feng Yiping's haha.

Grandpa also taught him, "Yiping, no matter how powerful, you must remember, don’t be proud, and don’t delay your studies because of writing this, and you will not be able to enter the county’s No. 1 high school, and you will not be able to enter university in the future. Then the gain is not worth the loss, remember?"

　　 "I know, grandpa." No way, who told you that you are still a teenage boy? You will have to listen to similar things for at least several years.

　　 There are three dishes at noon. It is estimated that the grandpa who usually eats alone has not cooked so many dishes for a long time. There is meat, tofu, and cucumber. Because Ruirui is the only one, the tender tofu is still boiled, and Ruirui doesn't need to eat, just use his small plastic bowl with a bowl of soup and tofu.

　　Cucumber slices, sautéed with chili, and garlic is very fragrant.

　　 The meat is very special. Feng Yiping had only eaten it at Grandpa’s place. It was vole meat, which was caught in the back field. The fur is removed, the internal organs are cleaned, and then washed several times, then salt is applied, exposed to the sun, and finally hung on the firepit to smoke. It tastes no different from bacon.

　　 Grandpa kept filling him with meat, Feng Yiping ate, feeling a little sad.

　　 Grandpa is now getting old and can't make a lot of money. Now he doesn't even smoke cigarettes. He raised his four sons with painstaking effort, but now he can't rely on any of them. If you want to eat some meat, you can't afford to buy it, so you can only find a way to catch the voles. Although the meat of voles is really good, it is really not something to be happy about.

"Grandpa, tomorrow, I want to go to town to take the money. Today the teacher urged the tuition for 45 yuan, and then I want to buy two sets of sportswear to replace, and a pair of rubber shoes, about 70 yuan. You Well, buy a pair of shoes. The sky is getting colder. You can also buy a thicker set of clothes. You can ask the tailor to do it by pulling the cloth, okay?"

　　 "The tuition fee should be paid if you have money. Now that the season changes, you should buy two sets of clothes. I originally replaced the clothes. At such an age, there are usually no relatives walking around. What clothes do I need to buy?"

Feng Yiping said, "Grandpa, you haven't made any new clothes for several years. Besides, it doesn't cost a few dollars to ask a tailor to do it, plus a pair of leather shoes, up to a hundred yuan. The weekends in the next few months , I have to eat here with you, just as my living expenses are good? Besides, if it weren’t for you to pay, I wouldn’t even have money to send letters, and I wouldn’t have this manuscript fee."

　　 "Yiping, although you earn the money yourself, you know your mother's temper. You are so lavish, and when they come back during the Chinese New Year, how can you explain to them?"

　　 "You can confess what you want," Feng Yiping said nonchalantly after taking a bite of rice.

　　 This money is not a new year's money given by the elders, but he earned it himself, and there is always some control over it. According to the current situation, this year's family life will have a big turnaround. By the end of the year, almost all the foreign debts will be paid off, and the way for parents to make money is also pointed out by themselves. It is not good to be too harsh on yourself.

"I'm not spending money randomly. Grandpa, you know, my parents haven't bought me new clothes for three years, and the sky is getting cold. I don't even have a decent coat. I bought two looser sets of sports. The clothes are similar to the school uniforms in the town’s middle school. They can also be used as jackets in the spring and autumn. They can be worn finely for two years. There are also shoes, from small to large, they wear cloth shoes made by mother. Well, no matter how careful you walk on a rainy day, you will inevitably get wet, so you can buy a pair of double star shoes for twenty yuan, how can you not say that it is a waste of money!"

　　 Hearing what he said, Mei Jianzhong was also a little sad. With five children, the eldest daughter’s family is currently the most difficult. Every Spring Festival, among the children who come to the village for New Year's greetings, this grandson wears the most shabby clothes, but he is sensible and has never quarreled with his family.

　　Before his wife left, he fell ill and spent his savings. He was also powerless to help. Besides, now there are nearly ten grandchildren, who only help his grandson, and the family will inevitably have trouble. Now the child makes money on his own and has grown up. As the saying goes, he also knows that he likes to watch and wants to buy replacement clothes.

In the past few decades, Mei Jianzhong’s life was actually pretty good. At least in the village, it’s a middle-upper person. With regard to dressing, his concept is that he should not be better than others, but not much worse than others, so he is Those who agree are afraid that the daughter and son-in-law will have to teach the grandson again.

He gave Feng Yiping another chopsticks meat, "Well, you have to make money this year, and your parents also make money. Life at home is better. Buy what you should buy. When they come back, they say I let you buy it. , They have an opinion to let them come to me."

　　 Having grandpa in front is indeed better than Feng Yiping directly facing his parents. Of course he does not object.

　　 "The remaining money, there are nearly two thousand, what are you going to do?" Grandpa asked him.

"For the rest of the money, I think I have to buy more chestnuts now. My parents now buy more than ten catties a day, which is three to four hundred catties a month. Now there are more than three months to the end of the year, so why don't they need one thousand? Jin, then there is still a gap of three to four hundred Jin. Parents have done it well. This business can be done for many years, and it won’t be much to buy another five hundred Jin. We can’t receive three yuan a Jin now. If you buy it in the provincial capital, it’s good if you can buy it for four yuan a catty, so it’s cheaper to buy it now."

　　 "Well, the chestnuts on UU Reading www.uukānshu.com are ripe early, and they are almost all sold now. The following is being collected. It is easy to buy with cash. Then buy a 500 jin?"

Feng Yiping settled down, "Just buy 600 catties, which will cost almost 1,800 yuan, and then remove my tuition and clothes. There may be more than 200 yuan left. Then you take it. Weigh some meat every weekend. Call the older uncle and the third uncle's children over. Let's eat together. You are also lively here."

　　Mei Jianzhong didn't object either. The lonely old man, of course, likes grandchildren, but these little guys, you really can't keep them without anything. Besides, when the grandson was growing up, he ate pickles for five or six days a week, but he couldn't keep up with the nutrition. If he eats a good one on Sunday, it's the past.

　　 The next day, the grandfather and grandson went to town again, and all the money was taken out. Feng Yiping bought two sets of sportswear, a pair of double stars, which add up to 80 yuan. Mei Jianzhong bought cloth and prepared to make a tunic suit. Feng Yiping forced him to buy him a pair of fifty yuan leather shoes. It's ninety-five, but it's more spent.

　　 The two deliberately went home after lunch and when everyone was busy on the mountain, the uncle's family was not there. Mei Jianzhong fried a bowl of soybeans and mixed them in pickled vegetables. Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Grandpa, the dishes I brought this time are of a higher grade."

　　 Not only did the dishes go up to the next level, he also got five yuan in pocket money for the first time. This was unprecedented. Mei Jianzhong also believed that he would not spend it randomly.
