Chapter 104 May you be as brilliant as your name
"Okay, don't cry. My cousin will give you a piece of candy. As he said this, Li Wen put a few White Rabbit toffee candies into Wang Xiaohua's hand.
Seeing that Wang Xiaohua was holding the candy and no longer crying, Li Wen started to ask.
"Xiaohua, do you want to go to school?" Li Wen looked at Wang Xiaohua and asked.
"Absolutely, I have always dreamed of going to school. Every time Xiaolong comes home, I ask him to teach me how to read." Wang Xiaohua nodded heavily and said.
"How about my cousin send you to school?" Li Wen touched the little girl's head.
Although Wang Xiaohua is eight or nine years old, she is only a little taller than six-year-old Li Xiaojuan, and her body is as thin as a hemp pole.
"Really? Going to school costs a few dollars a year, and my mother wants me to work." Wang Xiaohua lowered her head and whispered.
Li Wen thought for a moment, took out twenty yuan and handed it to the old man.
"Grandpa, take these twenty yuan. Part of it is for me to honor your two elders, and part of it is for Xiaohua's tuition." Li Wen said.
"Twenty yuan, so much money!"
The two old men were shocked by Li Wen's generosity. You must know that it cost less than a dime for him to make a basket by himself.
"Awen has so much money, this! How did you get so much money?" The old man asked, fearing that Li Wen would do something bad.
"Grandpa, just accept it. I earned this money. You also know that I am writing, and this is my royalties." Li Wen said with a smile.
"You can earn so much from writing!" the old lady said in disbelief.
"Well, the works I write are paid according to the number of words, and I earn dozens of dollars every month. My mother and others know this, so don't worry," Li Wen explained with a smile.
"It's better to be educated. When I was a child, Wang Juren in the town earned a lot of income just sitting at home every month. That income is enough for those of us who have worked hard for half a lifetime." The old man said with emotion.
"Okay, grandpa will accept it for the child Xiaohua, thank you." The old man was very pleased after taking the money, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed. Li Wen had never seen the old man so happy.
"Grandpa, you don't dare to do this. We are all one family. If you want to thank me, you are just slapping me in the face. It will be strange if my mother doesn't take care of me when I get home." Li Wen waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this.
"Grandpa, when my aunt comes back, tell her that I will support Xiaohua five yuan every year to go to school. Tell her not to embarrass Xiaohua anymore." Li Wen looked at Xiaohua who lowered his head and snickered.
After checking the time, it was almost lunchtime, but Li Wen didn't stay. He didn't want to discuss these issues with his uncle and aunt, as that would make them lose face.
Looking at Wang Xiaohua who was sending him out, Li Wen gave her fifty cents.
"Xiaohua, use this money to buy some notebooks and pens. Don't give it to others. Study hard in the future." Li Wen touched the little guy's head and warned.
"Bye bye Xiaohua, I hope you are as brilliant as your name." I waved goodbye to my grandpa's house.
Li Wen rode his bicycle to the second aunt's house. It was lunch time and the second aunt's family had already finished work.
"Xiaomo, what are you doing squatting on the ground?" Li Wen asked, looking at Zhou Xiaomo who was squatting on the ground very seriously.
"Ah! It's Brother Wenzi, you're here, welcome." The little guy looked up and saw that it was Li Wen, and he jumped up and said nonsensical words.
"You little guy, where did you learn this?" Li Wen smiled and patted the back of the little guy's head and asked.
"I learned this in school. Usually when a senior official comes, the principal will organize us to welcome him." The little guy said seriously.
"I'm your cousin and I'm not a high official. Why are you welcome?" Li Wen laughed loudly upon hearing this.
"My cousin has delicious food when he comes. He's even better than a senior official, so I must welcome him." The little guy replied directly.
"You kid! Go and lift the door sill, and I'll push the car in." He patted the little guy and asked him to lift the door sill.
"Here, Xiaomo, I'll give you two fruit candies." Walking into the door, Li Wen took out two sugar cubes from the food store and handed them over.
"Thank you cousin!"
The little guy took the candy and stuffed one in his mouth. Then he turned his pocket over and poured out all the rags inside. Then he carefully put another candy in. ωωw..net
Li Wen looked at the little guy pouring out some tiles, small round stones and the like. He smiled and shook his head. He had done this before.
"Awen, why are you back from the county today?" The second aunt came out of the kitchen and asked with a smile.
"I haven't been back for a week. I got some good things today. I'll come back and see everyone."
Li Wen said as he took out the remaining pig blood and braised pork from the wooden box.
"Pig's blood, it's really good. I haven't had it for a long time." Li Xiufang took the pig's blood and said with a smile.
"Awen, you and Xiaomo are playing in the yard first, and I'm going to cook first. When your uncle comes back, we'll start dinner." Second aunt Li Xiufang took the meat and walked into the kitchen.
"Xiao Mo, where are your sisters and the others? Li Wen looked at the little guy sitting in the yard and chewing candies. Why didn't he take them out of his mouth to see how big they were?" he asked with a smile.
"They went to Amei's house to do rubber band jumping. Amei's mother bought her rubber bands. My sister and the others go to play every day, but they don't want me to go."
"Huh! I'm not going. That's for girls. If I want to play, I can play with hoops and slingshots." The little guy said angrily.
"Haha, we boys have to play boys' games. Let's go to a place with my brother." Li Wen picked up the little guy and said.
The little guy's hands were sticky, so Li Wen let go immediately.
"Auntie, let's go out and be back in a while." Li Wen shouted towards the kitchen and led Zhou Xiaomo out.
"Brother Wenzi, where are you taking me? Are you buying me something delicious? Zhou Xiaomo kept talking after Li Wen.
"Just go with me, don't ask any more questions." Li Wen didn't want to be verbose with the little guy.
After a while, the two came to the blacksmith shop. At this time, there was a blacksmith shop in the town, and they usually made some farm tools and daily necessities.
"Uncle Chen is busy." Li Wen greeted a middle-aged man who was shirtlessly forging iron.
"It's you, kid. Why do you want to do something today?" The middle-aged man who was blacksmithing stopped what he was doing when he saw it was Li Wen.
"If you have nothing to do, why don't you tell me about it!" Li Wen smiled and handed over a cigarette.
"You kid, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Tell me what you want to do today." Lao Chen picked up a piece of charcoal with iron pliers and lit a cigarette and asked.
"Uncle, this is my cousin. I want to make him a pair of hoops and a slingshot. Can you help me with it?" Li Wen said with a smile.
"You kid, you're going to do all these evil things this day. Just play with the hoops at school, and even have a pair specially made." Blacksmith Old Chen teased Li Wen.
