Chapter 254 Fake Gold in the 70s 9
Just as Xu Tao was thinking about how to refuse without hurting the child, Song Yu finished his work and came over.
"Sister, you must be the sister that Chuchu often talks about, right? Chuchu has been talking about her for several days, bringing puppies and candies every day. I want to apologize to you, sister, just accept it."
Seeing that there was no reluctance in the other person's eyes, Xu Tao accepted the candy and pretended to take out cakes from her bag. To reassure the other person, she took out the packaged ones and said, "Sister likes Chuchu, this is a gift for Chuchu."
The little guy looked at his mother and saw her nod, showing his little teeth, "Thank you, sister."
"Sister, there are some defective products in the warehouse. If you don't mind, come with me to the warehouse to pick some out."
Xu Tao accepted the other party's goodwill and took the little guy to the warehouse. He said the defective products were just a small dot or a small wrinkle.
She picked out a few red towels and nothing else. Everyone had a fixed quota, so if she used more, others would naturally have less. She also selected some regular-priced items and paid for them.
Song Yu's smile was much more sincere. She wasn't lacking in that kind of thing. It was mainly because the little girl's work made people feel comfortable. "Taotao, that's what I'll call you. Come to me if you need anything next time."
"Okay Sister Yu, my sister is still waiting for me over there. I'm leaving now. Bye Chuchu."
The little girl waved her hand reluctantly, "Goodbye, sister."
After bidding farewell to the mother and son, the Xu Tao sisters carried their bags home. Along the way, they greeted acquaintances they met, and most people gave the sisters kind smiles.
A few gossipers waited for the sisters to leave, pointing fingers and saying, "If you ask me, the Xu couple are really stupid. They keep two ungrateful and money-losing people. Sooner or later, their house will be empty."
"That's right. It's obvious that he doesn't know how to live. Whoever marries into a family with these two sisters-in-law will be unlucky. If it were me, I'd say Xu Yan can't find a wife at such an old age. Maybe it's because of these two money-losing girls that he's been unlucky."
Several people were talking with saliva flying, and turned around to see the real owner Cheng Niaoshouzhuang walking away quickly with a gloomy face.
"Brother, you're finally back. These past few days you've been leaving early and coming back late, and I haven't seen you."
When Xu Tao saw her brother pulling her sister past, Xu Yuan was a little overwhelmed and called out softly, "Brother, you're back."
Xu Yan didn't show favoritism. He put the things on the dining table and patted his two sisters' heads. "I've been quite busy lately, so I brought you some cloth. Do you like it?"
Xu Tao opened it without hesitation. Seeing the bright red color, the corners of her mouth twitched. What should she say?
Xuyuan liked it very much, showing two dimples, "Thank you, brother."
"I hope you like it."
Then he turned his gaze to the person he disliked, slapped him on the head, and took out the floral cloth underneath.
"Hey, thanks, bro. You're the best."
Make a wish... My sister said she was the best just a few seconds ago.
Xu's father and mother came back soon after, both of them carrying large and small bags.
"Mom, why did you buy so many things today?"
"This is for your parents. Your dad borrowed a bicycle from a friend and will take you two sisters there tomorrow."
Their family had money and tickets, so buying a few more bikes wouldn't be a problem, but now that they were in this position, they naturally had to keep a low profile. So they only had one bike at home, but they didn't use it much. The three of them worked nearby, so they only used it occasionally to buy groceries.
"No need, Mom. It'll only take about an hour to ride. We can go during the day with the oxcart as our companion, so it's safe. Dad has to go to work tomorrow, and it's too tiring to drive back and forth. My sister said the village has a telephone, so we'll call you when we get there."
The two daughters took turns to persuade Xu's father and mother, and they finally compromised. The factory has indeed been quite busy recently.
The family of five finished their meal happily. When Wei Ying came home, she gave each daughter 30 yuan. Then Xu Yan knocked on the door and gave her 20 yuan, which was a gift that no one could refuse.
Xu Yuan had a complicated expression. Although she was not short of money, she dug up some corn two years ago, and her second brother took them to the city to exchange. Since then, he often went back and forth to the city, and he would give her some pocket money from time to time.
She had the impression that most workers earned 20 or 30 yuan a month, and she had two months' salary in her hands.
"What's wrong, sister?"
"Sister, are my parents and brother okay?"
"Hahaha, sister, you're so cute. Don't worry, Mom and Dad are rich. Grandpa and Grandma left a lot of money for them. Add to that Mom and Dad's combined salary, it's over 150. My brother, a level 3 clerk, earns 62 a month."
Xu Yuan opened her red lips slightly. She knew that her parents had high salaries, but she didn't expect it to be even higher than she thought.
After collecting the money, the two sisters went to bed early.
The couple in the next room were still awake. Wei Ying turned around and asked, "Old Xu, are your two daughters really okay in the countryside? It's been over an hour."
"How about I go and see them off tomorrow? It's the first time for both kids."
"Okay, it's our first time to send it off, so we can feel more at ease."
The couple was thinking well, but when they woke up they found that the two little girls had already ridden away on their bikes. They were both angry and amused.
Xu Tao knew her parents well; they must have been worried about her during the night, so she woke her sister up early the next day and made a quick getaway. She ate breakfast at a state-owned restaurant, packed up twenty meat buns, and set off on her bike.
The smile on Xuyuan's face never faded. He rode at lightning speed all the way and arrived in just one hour instead of one and a half hours.
When I arrived at the village entrance, I slowed down, feeling a little homesick.
Xu Tao didn't feel anything, her thoughts were all focused on her butt. She was almost broken into pieces after rushing all the way here, and she would need to put a few more layers of cushions on her back.
"Sister, let's go."
"it is good."
Xu Yuan's voice was slightly hoarse as he rode his bike to the end of the village. The door was ajar and he pushed it gently and went in. Seeing the familiar place, Xu Yuan's eyes warmed up and he realized that he had already burst into tears.
Xu Tao understood this sentiment and didn't interrupt, observing the yard. The house was a red brick building, quite large, with two unpaved areas on either side of the yard, where various vegetables were grown.
'Cackle'
The sound came from the back, so there should be a backyard. The house is not small, with three rooms in the front and two rooms on each side. The kitchen is on the left side of the door, and the toilet should be in the backyard.
Xu Tao's favorite is the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the middle of the yard. It's about five meters tall and looks old. Now, in September, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, filling the yard with fragrance.
"Taotao, let's go to the brigade headquarters and tell mom and dad that we're safe."
The two sisters arrived at the main group. The group leader happened to be inside and was a little surprised to see them. "You're back, girl. Is that your sister next to you?"
"Yes, Uncle Li, this is my sister Xu Tao."
"Hello, Uncle Li."
"Hey hey hey, hello Tao girl, you look so much like your grandma."
Li Jianshe nodded repeatedly. He was indeed a child raised in the city. He was white and chubby and looked blessed.
