They are all neighbors nearby.

She tried to listen carefully again, but she never heard it again.

Xu Jiaojiao looked around and thought, forget it.

Maybe it's okay.

Soon, Shiro and the others selected what they wanted to use, and Xu Jiaojiao paid the bill and sent them to school.

The assessment at the school is almost over. There are more than 20 old students in the old school, and the newly opened junior high school has also admitted more than 20 students.

The Liao family’s eldest child and little baby are both in the junior high school class, and Sanlang, Wulang and Silang are also in the junior high school class.

Because it is a half-price fee system, Mr. Li also added a last-place elimination system to the school. If he is assessed every six months, if he is the last in the class, he will be eliminated from the school and no more money will be collected.

It means encouraging students to study hard and know how to compete.

There was no such rule in the school before, and Xu Jiaojiao thought it might be the new Mr. Ji who suggested it.

This is also very good. If you can't learn, you won't learn. This will save the children pain and the adults money.

Xu Jiaojiao always felt that learning this thing was voluntary, especially in such a poor environment. It was a luxury. If you didn't want to, then there was no need to waste money on food.

After dividing the classes and confirming the list, Xu Jiaojiao left.

Ms. Cai didn't come for a few days, and Lao Xu's family breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Silang and the others went to school quite smoothly, and Shiro was also eligible for free tuition. Lao Xu's family was very happy.

Xu Laosan's complexion also improved a lot.

After a few days of recovery, I was able to walk without anyone watching, and there was no problem.

He is a person who never sits idle and starts doing things when he can.

Xu Jiaojiao injected an injection into his body, and his body responded, indicating that recovery was promising, and it made him feel much better.

After he felt better, he went to help at the winery.

At the winery, most of the work was manual work, and he couldn't help much. When he saw that the baskets and dustpans for carrying things were badly damaged, he started to pick up his old business and help the winery weave baskets and dustpans.

stand up.

Anyway, most of the winery’s employees are very capable, so it’s easy to find time to help cut bamboo, it’s not difficult at all.

After cutting the bamboo, Xu Laosan split bamboo strips and weaved them.

Xu Laosan was working in the wine shop, and the employees working in the wine shop were all talking to him. They were talking and laughing, and he was not alone.

However, when he faced one of them, his expression was still a bit unnatural.

"...I never thought I would see you here one day."

The two argued against each other for a long time, but Duan Qiulan spoke first.

Yes, she and him were almost childhood sweethearts. They grew up playing together when they were young.

But since Xu Laosan fell seriously ill and became disabled, the two of them saw each other less and less.

Slowly, the two of them grew older and older.

Duan Qiulan didn't know what Xu Laosan was thinking, and he never talked about emotional matters with her.

However, it is the first time for men to get married and for the first time women to get married.

Seeing that it was getting harder and harder for Xu Laosan to meet people, she finally had no choice but to give up her distracting thoughts and get married.

I just didn't expect that today, the two of them would be in such a situation.

"Ah, yes, it's really unexpected... There are too many things in this world that are unexpected..."

Xu Laosan looked at Duan Qiulan and lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

He already knew Duan Qiulan's current situation, and there were countless sighs in his heart, but he couldn't express them.

He felt that in his heart at this moment, was it pity? Sympathy? Or grief?

All of them.

But more, it seems to be regret?

If not for the beginning...

Duan Qiulan looked at Xu Laosan and didn't know what to feel in her heart.

Is it pity? Sympathy?

Or is it the kind of sadness that comes from sharing the same pain?

"Are you... okay now?" After silence, Xu Laosan asked again.

"I haven't starved to death yet. Thanks to your family, I finally have some hope."

Xu Laosan nodded, "That's good, that's good, it's all thanks to my sister... By the way, where are the children? Are they all okay?"

"We're all at home, everything is fine."

The two said a few words that were neither salty nor bland, and then fell silent again.

But after a while, the two of them asked the same question at the same time: "What are your plans for the future?"

Intend?

In the past, Xu Laosan would have had no plans.

There is no hope, so what plans are there to talk about?

But these days, he feels the warmth of family, the care and love from his family.

Especially since my sister said that he has hope of recovery.

He felt that if he could really recover, he would have many plans.

By then, he can help his family farm the land, just like ordinary people.

He can help the wine shop weave baskets and so on. He no longer needs help from others, he can finish it by himself.

You can walk around everywhere without having to worry about other people's looks.

Even when you have free time, you can go to the town to see it, and maybe you can have money to try those snacks!

Intend?

In the past, Duan Qiulan would not have dared to think of any plans.

If anything, it's how to raise two children.

She lives in the Duan family. With the character of the Duan family, the two children will not starve to death.

However, this is definitely not what she wants.

She couldn't think of any way before, but now that she has this job, with her hands, she is confident that she can take care of her two children.

You can even grow up healthy and happy like other people's children.

No, it should be said that she and the children can live a normal life together.

The two of them looked up at the same time and saw the expectation and yearning in each other's eyes.

Duan Qiulan saw Xu Laosan's eyes looking a little excited. She didn't know what he meant, and her face turned slightly hot. She hurriedly said: "I have to go to work."

Xu Laosan watched Duan Qiulan walk away without saying a word, his eyes a little wandering.

***

Yong'an Town.

Cai Danzi's life was very difficult. The days when he often had meat to eat were gone forever.

He was scolded every day and often went hungry.

Hungry and full.

The children in the village stopped playing with him.

When she saw him, she called his mother a shabby shoe and called him a bastard.

Cai was in a bad mood. If he disobeyed even a little bit, Cai would beat and scold him.

In the past, Mr. Cai was not like this, doting on him as if he were his darling.

He has had enough of this kind of life.

He doesn't want a mother like this anymore. She doesn't give him delicious food and makes him look embarrassed. Everyone scolds him.

He was extremely dissatisfied with Mr. Cai!

Mrs. Cai also felt that this life could not be passed.

She went to Lao Xu's house and made a fuss for a few days. She made such a fuss that she was very embarrassed. She didn't say anything good about it, and she was almost arrested.

She was also scared and didn't dare to go anymore.
