Fortunately, Li Jianbo and Li Wei are both on vacation, and they can help when they are busy.
Li Wei was very obedient and didn't run around. Either help at the shop or do homework at home. Li Jianbo helped with tutoring and progressed quickly.
After busying for a while, it will soon be the New Year. With the experience of last year, Li Wei bought a lot of red paper early, wrote a lot of spring couplets and blessings, set up a stall to start her small business.
There are many more tourists in county towns than in small towns, and a middle school student who sells writing on the spot can indeed attract attention. It's just that business is getting better, and Li Wei is also tired. After a day of writing, her arm was almost impossible to lift.
"Do you want me to rub it for you." Li Jianping walked and said.
"I can't ask for it." Li Wei nodded and agreed and stretched out her arm. However, she regretted it immediately. Li Jianping wanted to break her arm, and she yelled "Wow" in pain.
Hearing her screams, Liu Chunzhi and Li Jianbo, who were talking in the back room, both walked out.
Li Jianbo asked with a look of surprise: "What happened?"
"Second brother, eldest brother is going to abolish my hand that can only write while eating, please help me." Li Wei wailed.
Liu Chunzhi curled his lips and said: "What shall I do, roar like a pig, telling you not to set up a stall, you are going to go, is it so tiring to write a few words?"
Li Jianbo hurriedly defended his sister: "Hey, Mom, you can't say that. Weiwei is really tired after writing for a whole day. If you don't believe me, try."
"I won't try!" Liu Chunzhi dropped this sentence and went into the house again.
Seeing Li Wei doing this, Li Jianbo thought that he would not be able to set up a stall tomorrow: "Wei Wei, or you should rest tomorrow."
"No, how much money you can earn less for a day off. One night off is enough for me. It will still be done tomorrow, and it will be a few days of hard work, and it will pass."
Li Jianping and Li Jianbo exchanged glances, saying that this sister is also a strong stubborn temper, which was not the case before.
Li Jianping did not know the severity of the massage, and Li Wei fell asleep early. She woke up with pain in her arm until midnight. Even so, it didn't delay her to continue setting up the stall the next day.
Even Li Jianbo admired her perseverance.
As the Chinese New Year approached, I still had to go back to the countryside, and my family discussed the time of closing. Li Wei set up stalls for a few days and made a small profit compared to last year.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, families boarded the car back to Yongning. Back at home after a long absence, Li Wei and Liu Chunzhi were busy cleaning the house, tidying up the inside and outside.
For the New Year, Li Wei is always full of expectations. After all, she is still a student now, and for her, she can't get in and out of the New Year.
For the Li family this year, they worked hard for several months and made some money.
Li Minghua discussed with Liu Chunzhi: "I'm afraid that the big brother's money will not be paid for the time being. There are still several places where the money will be used in the new year."
Liu Chunzhi said, "Then don't rush, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with the sister-in-law. I don't want to deal with her, you can talk about it then."
Li Minghua was also afraid of confronting that Bai Li, so he stopped talking.
Then Liu Chunzhi and Li Minghua talked about Jianping.
"After the New Year, he is about to be 20. Do you want to make a marriage appointment for him?"
Li Minghua put out the cigarette and sighed: "I'm only 20 years old. What anxious. I think he doesn't mean that. He doesn't pay attention to some good-looking women in the store. It will be a few years later."
Liu Chunzhi heard another meaning from Li Minghua's words: "If he doesn't stare at a beautiful woman, you just stare at it?"
"Hey, hey. What are you making trouble? When did I do it..." Li Minghua felt that Liu Chunzhi was a bit unreasonable to make trouble, but he chose to sue for mercy because he was afraid of getting angry with this woman.
The couple's night talk was heard intermittently by Li Wei next door. She sat there thinking, what will the two sisters-in-law be like in the future. I hope that the eldest brother can meet a gentle and virtuous, second brother... isn't the second brother going out of this home? Maybe he will go to work in other cities, and naturally he will also meet a woman who matches him better. If the knowledge is equal, the temper can be integrated.
The marriage of children is far different from that of Daqi. In this era, marriage can be autonomous, and there are not many forced interference by parents. She remembered her sad past.
If it were not for the family's benefit, perhaps she would not enter the palace. If she didn't enter the palace, she wouldn't be a widow at the age of twenty and then be poisoned to death, nor would she die until her husband hadn't touched her. If she doesn't enter the palace, maybe she can meet a husband who agrees with her wishes, and her husband and son will live a peaceful life with him. Fuck the queen mother, who wants to be whoever is!
It took a simple year to sacrifice to the ancestor.
Liu Chunzhi bought Li Wei a new dress for the Chinese New Year, a big red down jacket, put it on and looked at people's spirit, even his complexion improved a lot.
Li Wei wore new clothes and followed his family to visit relatives and friends. After playing happily for a few days, he made a lot of money.
After the tenth day of the first lunar month, there was less to go to relatives, and they planned to go back to the city after the fifteenth. The most important thing right now is Li Wei's transfer.
So although the shop was not open yet, Li Wei and Li Jianbo returned to the city first.
To find a school to accept Li Wei, this is easy to say, and difficult to say, it just takes some effort back and forth. Li Jianbo naturally wanted Li Wei to study in the junior high school of his current school, but the school’s willingness to accept it became a problem. The school he attended was a key middle school, and everything talked about his grades. The final grade is not so impressive.
Li Jianbo took Li Wei to find the school leader of the school.
"It's Li Jianbo from Class 20, why can't you wait to come to school? Isn't this still on holiday." This is the vice principal of the school.
Li Jianbo introduced the vice principal to Li Wei. Li Wei bowed to the vice principal and said with a smile: "Vice principal is good."
"Oh, such a big girl. Is it Jianbo's younger sister?"
"That's right." Li Jianbo and the vice principal circulated a few words, and then explained their intentions, and then handed Li Wei's report card up.
The vice principal took a look and said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that some are not enough."
Li Jianbo laughed and said, "My sister started a bit late, and it was even worse when she was in the first year of junior high school. She has made a lot of progress in her second year of junior high school. Besides, I can also help her in the same school. She's busy with business in the city, and I can't manage it. I can't worry about leaving her alone in the country."
The vice principal is still a little embarrassed.
Li Jianbo motioned to Li Wei to take out another thing, which was the certificate of Li Wei's participation in the calligraphy and painting competition.
"Vice principal, although my sister is mediocre in her studies, she has special expertise. Look at this, it's a real skill."
The vice-principal took the certificate and looked at it, then glanced at Li Wei, seemingly unbelievable. An ordinary student who came out of the countryside can still have this ability.
