Chapter 48
"It's hard to say, just don't talk to others. By the way, you are going abroad. Are you going to celebrate with wine at home?"
"No, brother, I'm not taken seriously at home, you know that."
"Okay, don't get lost, you are the golden phoenix that flew out of the chicken coop. From now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and you can roam freely."
"Um."
A few days after this, Liu Zhen flew away.
When the plane was in Hong Kong, Fang Mengyin sent her two American Express traveler's checks with a denomination of 5,000 US dollars. Considering the median income of 6,813 US dollars in China last year, 10,000 US dollars can make Liu Zhen live in China. Very well used.
Government-sponsored study abroad has state-sponsored scholarships. Although it is meager, it is not enough to starve.
Besides, Nanyi can send supplies to Liu Zhen again at any time.
Time flies to July 5th, today Wu Renpin moved to a new home and invited Nanyi to Wenguo.
What Wu Renpin bought was a small L-shaped bungalow with a housing area of about 80 square meters and a yard of more than 20 square meters. A wall was built in the yard to divide the original courtyard into two.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"I made some pumpkins and made some big meat. You can have a few drinks with my Xionghua later."
"Come on, I'll have a good drink with that turtle grandson."
"Hey, don't call him the grandson, Renpin is not happy to hear that."
"Why? How dare he kick you? He thinks I [we] have no natal family."
"Nanyi, since when did you become part of Meifeng's family, don't join my mother-in-law as soon as you come, she's in charge."
Wu Renpin happened to come back from the outside with the wine in his arms and a child in his arms.
"It's just that you talk a lot of nonsense, and we sister and brother whisper something, and you still dare to listen? What kind of tricks did you pour into my sister back then, so that she would marry you?"
"Why, are you not angry?"
"I am convinced, of course I am convinced, sister-in-law, the staple food is noodles, I ate it last time, and I am still thinking about it."
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Nan Yi left the stove, walked to Wu Renpin's side, and patted his son Wu Xiaowei's head, "Come, uncle will give you a gift."
With that said, Nanyi took out an electronic watch from his pocket and put it on Wu Xiaowei's hand.
"Oh, Nan Yi, why did you buy such an expensive gift for your child? This watch costs more than a hundred dollars. Xiaowei, quickly take it off and return it to Uncle Nan."
"Come on, don't be surprised. It's a hundred yuan. What year's the almanac is that? Now it's sold for thirty at most. I was brought back from Yangcheng, and it only costs fifteen yuan."
By the way, Men San'er's work is really bad enough, and the last remaining electronic watches were not sold out. He received news from Xian Weimin that someone from the north of Tianyu went to get a large number of electronic watches, and the wholesale price was 28. .
He directly lowered the shipping price to 25, and sold the bulk goods directly to 30.
Get rid of it quickly, and then give a chicken feather to the latecomer.
Originally, the huge profits from the electronic watch could last for a while longer, but with Man San'er doing this, he could only earn some hard money.
When more and more people make electronic watches, it is still a mystery whether the selling price can reach ten yuan by then.
"Fifteen is not cheap. You can just buy some food for a dime for the children. Why spend so much money?"
"I'm happy, Xiaowei, your father is real. Does the watch look good?"
"It looks good." Wu Xiaowei nodded.
"Play by yourself."
Nan Yi patted Wu Xiaowei's head again, and waited for the others to leave before saying to Wu Renpin, "Has the household registration issue been resolved?"
"How can it be so easy, this capital city hukou is too difficult to solve, seeing that Xiaowei is about to go to school, I am anxious."
"What's the use of being anxious, since the hukou is not going well, then you should find the school first. It's not difficult to put someone in the school. The key is that you have to find the right person, and you have to be sincere enough to do it."
"I'll go for a run tomorrow, but I can't do it, so I can only send it back to my hometown to go to school."
"No way, sincerity is as good as gold and stone, how can the school reject a child who is determined to study? The school will definitely consider your identity as a Beijing student and the things you are carrying in your hand."
"hope so."
Wu Renpin estimated that he still couldn't let go of the nobleness of intellectuals. Whether it was a household registration or a school, if Nanyi was allowed to run away, the problem would definitely be solved in a short time.
After drinking a few cups with Wu Renpin and a bowl of delicious noodles, Nanyi walked through several alleys and returned to the depths of Baihua.
In the yard, Nan Ruofing squatted on the ground, staring at the crystal white and black patches on the ground.
"How about feeding the ants?"
"Father, look, I wrote the character Nan with white sugar, waiting for the ants to crawl into black."
"The sugar was sprinkled too little, the ones behind have not been targeted by the ants, and the ones in the front have been carried back to the ant nest by them."
"Then what should I do, let me sprinkle some more?"
"No, next time boil sugar into syrup before writing, or use honey, so that the ants will not be able to recite it for a while, and the characters will turn black."
"Oh, then I'll try it with honey next time."
"Well, grandma is already going through the formalities for you. In two months, you will go to Xiangtang."
"Dad, it's so fast, so I won't see you in the future?"
Nan Ruobing's eyes turned red, and tears rolled in their sockets.
"Silly girl, how could it be? When you are on summer vacation, you can come back to spend the summer vacation with Dad."
"The summer vacation is too short, what do I want my father to do?"
"Then you write a letter to Dad, write everything you want to tell Dad, and Dad will write back to you. The day after tomorrow, we will go back to Wenchangwei. Do you want to visit Mom tomorrow?"
"No, mom won't come to see me, and I won't see her either." Nan Ruofing turned her face, full of complaints towards Li Lamei.
The same goes for Li Lamei. After marrying Wang Polan, she never visited Nan Ruofing.
Three months ago, I heard that she was pregnant and was going to have another child. If it was a boy, her feelings for Nan Ruofing might be even weaker.
"Okay, if you don't go, don't go."
Nan Ruofing could not go, but Nan Yi had to.
He wanted to ensure that he always occupied the moral high ground. Nan Ruofing had to tell Li Lamei about going out to study.
The next day, Nanyi went to buy a train ticket, and then went to Li Lamei's place.
Without Lai Biao, Nan Yi could not buy a plane ticket, and had no choice but to take the train to return to Wenchangwei.
On the way, I entered a non-staple food store and bought some food suitable for pregnant women.
Carrying her things, she came to the courtyard where Li Lamei lived. She was sitting under the shade of a tree enjoying the coolness, and an old lady was sitting beside her chatting with her.
"Lamei, here's a guest."
When the old lady saw Nanyi, she said something to Li Lamei.
"Young man, sit here for you. There is still water in my room. Let me take a look."
"Hey, aunt, thank you."
Nanyi stood next to Li Lamei and didn't sit on the little stool the old lady gave her. "Is there nothing wrong?"
"It's pretty good. It's my second child. It's not as hard as being pregnant with a tail. I only vomited once or twice."
"That's good. I'm here today to tell you about Ruo Fing."
"What's wrong with her?" Li Lamei asked.
"It's nothing, there is no illness or disaster, and the food is delicious. I want to tell you that her household registration will be moved to Xiangfang soon, and then she will study there. When she is older, I plan to Send her to study abroad."
"Very well, you can decide."
Li Lamei's tone was a bit weak, and it didn't have the sense of mother-daughter connection that gushed out when the two had a deep conversation last time.
It's not bad for Nan Yi to think about it. If Li Lamei becomes indifferent, it will be easier for him to raise Nan Ruofing to full maturity. I hope that Li Lamei and Wang Polan's family of three will be happy and healthy, well, always be harmonious and beautiful, and don't make any troubles.
