Niu Xiaoqiang opened his bag as he spoke, took out the pen that Huang Li bought for him and handed it over.

Niu Dongxiang took it and took a look, and then said in surprise: "This is a hero brand of special fountain pens, one costs more than six yuan, sister has always wanted to have one, but there is no money to buy it, little brother, thank you!"

Niu Xiaoqiang heard that this fountain pen was worth more than six yuan, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and his favorability towards Huang Li increased a lot. Although this fountain pen is very expensive, his sister Niu Xiaoqiang who gave it to him is not distressed at all, he smiled innocently: "Thank you, it's all a family." ”

The eldest sister Niu Chunxiang was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard the voice, she poked her head out to say hello to Niu Xiaoqiang, and then went back to work.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't see his mother, and couldn't help asking, "Fourth sister, where did my mother go?"

He and his third sister went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, and the vegetables at home were all served by his father to drink, and he didn't have to eat them at night if he didn't pick them again. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled happily: "The third sister is also back, this relationship is good, our family is almost reunited." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said this, as if he remembered something, and then said: "By the way, I went to the city this time to meet the second sister, what a coincidence." ”

Niu Dongxiang was originally fiddling with the pen in her hand, but when she heard this, she looked up at Niu Xiaoqiang with a look of surprise on her face: "Why did the second sister run to the city? Isn't she working in the county seat?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained the reason for the matter, and Niu Dongxiang smiled after listening to it: "The second sister's salary can rise by nearly 20 yuan after she becomes a regular, and I don't have to worry about going to college in the future!"

Niu Xiaoqiang was just about to take out the money he earned to show off, and his mother Sun Mei walked in with Niu Qiuxiang carrying a vegetable basket.

The two of them all smiled happily when they saw Niu Xiaoqiang, and they stepped forward to ask for warmth. Niu Xiaoqiang saw that his mother and third sister were also back, and felt that it would be better to show off at this time, so he put his hand in his pocket.

"Mom, two sisters, what do you think this is?"

The three women in the hall all turned their heads to look at them, and then fell into a deathly silence.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw everyone staring at his palms in a daze, and he didn't even say anything, so he couldn't help but sigh: "I said everyone, I earned so much money and went home, don't you praise me?"

Mother Sun Mei swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Table, praise...... Of course it's a good ......."

The third sister Niu Qiuxiangxin said: Fortunately, I didn't take out the twenty yuan salary I just paid, otherwise it would be so embarrassing!

Niu Dongxiang's reaction was the most normal, as soon as Sun Mei's words fell, she put her arms around Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulders and chirped on his head: "Little brother, you really have the ability! Now my sister doesn't have to worry about the cost of going to the capital!"

In this era, you don't need to pay tuition fees to go to university, but you still have to pay for your own travel. Niu Dongxiang once asked the teacher that if you take a train from the city to the capital, plus the cost of transferring trains halfway, it will add up to almost fifty yuan in total. This amount of money is not a small amount for Lao Niu's family.

At present, the family does not even have the money to buy pesticides and fertilizers, let alone the cost of travel, Niu Dongxiang has always been worried about this. At this moment, seeing Niu Xiaoqiang holding dozens of yuan in his hand, and a boulder that pressed on Niu Dongxiang's heart finally fell to the ground, it was no wonder that she was so excited.

Niu Xiaoqiang pushed away his fourth sister with some embarrassment, and reached out to wipe the place that was kissed by the fourth sister: "Sister, we are not children anymore, this is too unsophisticated, right?"

Niu Dongxiang is on the rise, where do you care so much, she smiled coquettishly: "You are my own brother, what is it if I kiss you? When we were children, we slept in the same bed!"

The living environment of rural families is not so wealthy, and many families do not have enough beds, Niu Xiaoqiang not only slept with Niu Dongxiang when he was a child, but also squeezed into a bed with the other three sisters. This is not a big deal in rural areas, and it is the case for almost all families with many children.

Niu Dongxiang's words reminded Niu Xiaoqiang of the embarrassing past when he wetted the bed when he was a child, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "Mom, there are a total of seventy yuan here, all of which I earned with my master, you can put the money away." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang earned a total of seventy-six yuan, but he only handed over seventy yuan, and the remaining six yuan was ready to be kept for emergencies.

Sun Mei put the money into her personal pocket with a happy face, and happily instructed Niu Qiuxiang: "Sanya, hurry up and steam an egg for your little brother, he has helped the family so much, we should treat him!"

Niu Qiuxiang agreed with a smile, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

It didn't take much effort for Niu Chunxiang, who got the news, to run out, she rubbed Niu Xiaoqiang's head with a look of surprise, and exclaimed: "Little brother, I originally thought you were joking with me, but now it seems that there is really a door for what you promised me!"

The others all showed curiosity when they heard this, and Niu Dongxiang couldn't help but ask, "Eldest sister, what did the younger brother promise you?"

Niu Chunxiang, who knew that she was speechless, smiled embarrassedly, not knowing how to answer. Niu Xiaoqiang took seventy yuan home this time, and his confidence in front of his family increased a lot, and he didn't bother to hide it, so he directly told the truth: "What is going on......

When Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, Sun Mei slapped his head angrily and funny: "You kid, where can your sister prepare a dowry when she gets married? Isn't this nonsense? ”

Niu Dongxiang didn't have this kind of thought, she came to her with a smile and asked in a mocking tone: "Little brother, you can't favor one over the other, shouldn't you also show it when the fourth sister gets married?"

Niu Xiaoqiang patted his chest: "I didn't say it, I definitely won't attend the fourth sister's wedding empty-handed at that time!"

Sun Mei complained a little on the surface, but she was actually very happy in her heart. Although this incident sounds a bit ridiculous, it proves the unity and friendship of the family from the side. In Sun Mei's eyes, unity and friendship are the most critical elements of this family, and as for things like money, they are secondary. Therefore, she did not count Niu Xiaoqiang again, but followed the three children to make a fuss.

After a commotion, Sun Mei asked what was in the bag. Niu Xiaoqiang took out the things that Fang Dongping gave him one by one and put them on the table.

Every time he took out something, the family would let out an exclamation:

"Wow! It's actually Moutai!"

"This is Hongta Mountain cigarettes! And peonies! Dad will love it!"

"It's a really good shirt!

"And so many notebooks, all made of fine pulp!"
