Chapter 41 Children will be jealous
Xu Fang walked around the compound and came back after eight o'clock in the evening. When she came back, she didn't say anything, put the money in front of Ji Ling, and went out.
Ji Ke followed, she had a complicated expression, looked at Ji Ling counting the money, and asked with doubts in her mind, "Sister, mom has been acting weird these two days, I feel like I can't understand her more and more, what do you think is wrong with mom?" ?”
After Ji Ling finished counting, she found that one penny was quite a lot. She picked up the money, then looked up at Ji Ke, and said casually, "What don't you understand? I think it's pretty good."
"But in the past, when encountering such things, my mother would not do this. Do you remember what happened a few years ago? Lin Hai burned a hole in your new clothes and almost hurt you. The Lin family came to apologize, but my mother kept saying that it was strange. You, I told you a lesson. Today's matter is much lighter than that matter, why does mother care about it?"
Ji Ling raised her eyebrows, "I forgot about Lin Hai burning my clothes, what's going on?"
Ji Ke glanced at her cautiously, "He set off firecrackers, you said he was rude, and when he got angry, he lit the firecrackers and threw them at you."
Ji Ling, "I'm usually bullied."
Very well, she wrote down Lin Hai's hatred.
Ji Ke was still thinking about Xu Fang's matter, "I went out with my mother just now, and those families were surprised when they knew that my mother was asking for money."
"Did they say anything?"
"I didn't say anything, I immediately went to get the money, and even apologized to my mother. Then my mother told about Aunt Jingyun's sending money to our house. Sister, do you think it's right for my mother to do this?"
Ji Ling looked at Ji Ke amusedly, "I don't know if it's right for Mom to do this, but I suggest that you don't call Aunt Jingyun so close in front of Mom."
Ji Ke blinked innocently, "Sister, why? What you said is so profound, I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, then just pretend I didn't say it." Ji Ling didn't want to guess that Ji Ke was really innocent and was still pretending to be stupid, but Ji Ke's way of speaking made Ji Ling very disliked.
Always guide Ji Ling to evaluate Xu Fang, and even give Xu Fang a right or wrong argument.
Maybe she is overthinking.
The day after tomorrow is Xu's mother's birthday, and there is still a day of free time tomorrow. Ji Ling wants to take out the soap she made and sell it. With the money in her hand, it can be regarded as an income.
Ji Ling thought about it before going to bed, and after breakfast the next day, she used the excuse of looking for Ji Jianhua to go out.
Xu Fang said, "Today your dad will come over this afternoon. You go to your brother and ask him to come back with you. Your uncle and aunt will come over for dinner at night."
Ji Ke said on the sidelines, "I also want to go to my elder brother's place, and my sister should take me with me."
"Take Xiaoke and go together." Xu Fang took out two dollars from her pocket, "The three of you are eating out at noon, if you want to go shopping, just go shopping for a while, and just come back before dinner."
The money was handed to Ji Ling, and Ji Ling took it and put it away, and took Ji Ke out the door.
Ji Ke affectionately held Ji Ling all the way out of the compound, and when the two walked towards the repair shop, Ji Ke let go of Ji Ling's arm.
Soon arrived at Ji Jianhua's work place. Ji Jianhua was wearing work clothes, which were covered with oil. Before he came, Ji Ling could smell the pungent gasoline smell.
He didn’t seem to smell it himself, and looked at the two of them with a smile, “Why did you come here? Last time you said it was dirty here, and you won’t come here again.”
"Brother, go and change your clothes." Ji Ke pinched his nose, used one hand as a fan, and waved it vigorously in front of his face.
Ji Jianhua saw it, and instead of retreating, he moved forward, "Is it interesting? Is it really that big?"
Ji Ke yelled, and ran away to hide far away.
He said to Ji Ling, "Xiaoling, brother treats you two to a big meal at noon."
"Brother, Mom will give me two yuan when I go out."
Ji Jianhua raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised to hear his mother give money to his younger sister, he asked concerned, "Are you still used to living at grandma's house these two days? Those naughty children in the compound will go back and show their strength at home." .”
Ji Ling: The original owner is still a naughty owner.
She readily agreed, and heard that Ji Jianhua was still teaching her how to do it. In order to reassure him, she told him about going out to climb the mountain yesterday, and Ji Jianhua's eyes became brighter and brighter.
After listening, he said deeply, "Then I'm relieved."
There was not much work in the repair factory today, so Ji Jianhua took his two younger sisters to the factory to show off, especially Ji Ling, the top student in the college entrance examination, walked around the factory to accept compliments, and some children were also attending Asked about her study experience in high school, Ji Ling answered patiently that when the three brothers and sisters came out of the factory, each of them carried two net bags with fruits in them, all thanks to Ji Ling.
Ji Jianhua Zouzui, "In the past few years in the factory, this is the first time that I am so popular. Some people give fruit, and the leader readily gives it away. Xiao Ling, brother, this is thanks to you."
"Then brother, do you want to express it?"
Before Ji Jianhua could speak, Ji Ke leaned over, "Brother, sister, what shall we have for lunch? I know that there is a family that makes fried cakes that are particularly delicious. Sister, do you want to eat that?"
He said he wanted to go out with Ji Ling at home, and now they were discussing what to have for lunch. Ji Ke's tone made others feel like Ji Ling was very difficult to get along with.
Ji Ling looked at the street, with her Red Army bag on her shoulders, and Ji Ke led the way forward, without giving her a look, and said perfunctorily, "Eat whatever you want, I can do it."
She didn't say much in one sentence, but in comparison, she fought a turnaround, making Ji Ke look like a willful and delicate person.
Ji Ke happily said, "Sister, you are so kind to me now."
Ji Ling glanced at her, "Wasn't it good before?"
"It was fine before." Ji Ke smiled sweetly.
Don't say much, let outsiders listen and think more.
Take it as a child who is jealous, Ji Ling twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled and didn't argue with Ji Ke.
Ji Ke walked ahead like a cheerful bird, mouth not stopping, and Ji Jianhua imitated how she went to pick up the notice. When he met some uncle, the uncle praised her for being tall, and said that some uncle's hair was about to fall out. Light, I can't help but laugh out loud when I speak.
Ji Jianhua was a few steps behind, and while listening, he took the time to ask Ji Ling, "How do you want big brother to express?"
Ji Ling smiled and said, "I'm idle at home, I made some soap, Brother, see if you can sell it for me."
Ji Jianhua even forgot to be perfunctory to Ji Ke, and said in surprise, "Okay, Xiaoling, I will look at you with admiration after three days, and do you have the soap on you?"
His eyes fell on Ji Ling's red army bag that was straddling diagonally.
Ji Ling took out one piece and handed it to him, "The soap in the department store is seven cents a piece. How much do you think mine is worth?"
The soap in the shape of a small animal still exudes a faint floral fragrance, and the alkaline smell is covered.
Ji Jianhua put away the smile on his face, "Xiaoling, did you do this?"
Ji Ling nodded, and briefly explained where she found a carpenter and used the dried flowers brought back by Ji Yong.
"Brother, sister, are you listening to me?" In front of him, Ji Ke stopped dissatisfied, and looked at the two with his mouth pouted.
"Listen." Ji Jianhua responded, put the soap in his pocket, and looked at Ji Ling seriously, "Xiao Ling, let's find a place to talk about this after dinner."
