Rebirth of My Way to Riches

Chapter 3 Reunion?

“Huh? What did you say?” There were underclassmen jostling in the campus, and Chen Xu's voice was getting lower and lower, Qian Lili didn't hear it and asked again.

Chen Xu, however, turned his head to the side and waved his hand carelessly, “Forget it, I won't bother with you, Old Qin is still waiting for me, let's go!”

Qian Lili gave an indifferent “Oh”, and went back to the classroom with her feet in the wind. Chen Xu looked at her happy back, shook his head, and went to the teacher's office with a bitter face.

Qian Lili didn't hide the matter of submitting the manuscript from her deskmate and good friend Wang Hui, and now that she has earned money, she didn't hide it either, and happily showed the remittance slip to Wang Hui. In fact, the publisher gives the manuscript fee is not high, she calculated, is about a thousand words about fifteen, she wrote a thousand words out of the beginning, only got eighteen dollars. Of course, she was not too little.

Wang Hui was happy, but not surprised. She rubbed the thin bill, smiled and curved her eyes: ''Look, at that time I said you this quasi line, write better than the magazine, let me say right? Ah, old Qin did not say you right?”

“No, I also think it is very strange.” Qian Lili took the remittance slip she handed back, some uncertainty guess, “Just now when I came back I bumped into Chen Xu, said it was Old Qin who called him to get a lecture, could it be because of this ah, Old Qin was busy cleaning up after him, he didn't have time to talk about me?”

Wang Hui puffed out his cheeks and thought about it, thinking it was very likely, “It's probably. But it's also possible that it's for the sake of money. He probably thinks it's not easy for you to earn some money by writing essays, and doesn't have the heart to lecture you.”

“Actually, I think that Old Qin is quite a good person.” Qian Lili smiled, “And quite smart.”

Wang Hui rarely also said a truthful word: “He is actually still a person in all other aspects except for his difficult looks, lewd temperament, and viciousness in complaining to parents.”

Qian Lili: “......”

For the Qingming Festival, the school would have a two-day vacation, and only at this time of the year could the students who lived in the school leave the school and go home. They don't have any double holidays at this time, they go to class every day, and they go back home every four to five weeks, taking one or two pieces of seasonal clothing and bringing back some dry food and change only. After class, Qian Lili went to the bike shed and rolled out her own old bike, walking a section of the town with Wang Hui who was waiting outside.

“Right, didn't you say you wanted a haircut and forgot?” When she passed the barber shop, Wang Hui reminded her.

Qian Lili shook her head, “Don't mention it, no money.” In the last few days, the pancakes she brought from home were eaten up, so she had to buy steamed buns to eat in the school cafeteria, spending an extra two dollars, and she already didn't have a single penny on her.

“Huh? Then I'll lend you.” Wang Hui hurriedly reached for his pants pocket.

Qian Lili right hand holding the handlebars, freeing his left hand to pull her: “No no, I go home and take care of myself on the line. Besides, I don't have money, have you forgotten?”

Wang Hui “Oh” a sound, more anxious: “Hurry up quickly, do not a moment post office closed.”

Successfully got eighteen dollars, Qian Lili is very happy, not busy to take the bike, but into the side of the kiosk, spend two dollars to buy two with lean ham and sausage handed to Wang Hui.

“What is this for?” Wang Hui didn't want it with his hands behind his back.

Qian Lili went to catch her hand: “You do not do not, this is my own money, we are the best, I invite you to eat a ham sausage how not? Then you originally share my fried sugar beans, meat buns, I did not also eat?”

“That's not the same, those are all given by the family.” Wang Hui still doesn't want it, “Don't you ......”

Qian Lili interrupted her, “Are we good friends now? When you gave me something, I was actually quite stressed, I always felt that my family was in difficulty and I was taking advantage of you, now it's just two ham sausages, can't you give me a chance to reduce my stress?”

“Ooh! What are you two pulling at? It's like the old lady at the head of the village.” Chen Xu's lazy voice suddenly rang out, “What delicious ah, you two don't want it, give it to me, just hungry.”

“Beautiful you!” Wang Hui grabbed two ham sausages and stuffed them into his school bag. In the nineties, ham sausage is still quite rare, although Wang Hui's family is better off than Qian Lili, but not to the extent that ham sausage is free.

“Ch!” Chen Xu bristled, “Cheap bag!”

Qian Lili lost her smile and asked Chen Xu, “What are you doing here?”

Chen Xu looked at her with a strange expression, “I'm waiting for a car to go home, isn't this the station? Have you lost your memory?”

This time the urban and rural transportation is still very backward, there is no formal bus, only some individuals operating the old minibus to and from the county and the townships, the so-called station is in the car more people agreed to get on the point just.

Qian Lili just a moment did not think of this crop, and now see Chen Xu feet side of the big shoulder bag before reacting.

She nodded her head while giving an “oh” sound, did not respond to the matter of memory loss, and was ready to leave.

Chen Xu called out to her, “Alas Qian Lili, I read your article, it was written quite well, really.”

“Ah? You've read it? Did you buy Green River Literature? Was it published in this issue?” Wang Hui asked, “Didn't you laugh at Mr. Xiao and say he was sour, why do you still read it?”

Qian Lili actually saw the issue of Green River Literature with her article printed on it at Mr. Xiao's place, but the publisher didn't send her a sample issue, and she couldn't afford to spend several dollars to buy a magazine, so she really doesn't have it in her hand now.

Wang Hui wanted to say that Qian Lili did not have it, but when he thought about it, Qian Lili probably did not want to buy it, so he turned a corner and hurt Chen Xu: “You want to be a literary youth too?”

“No matter.” Chen Xu said, his eyes looking at Qian Lili, “If I become a literary youth, my father will be furious! It's not the old Qin, take a good student to teach me, let me look at others, what high test scores, and other did not fall, can be submitted as a writer, I think how to also look at the writer to write a masterpiece of what kind.”

“Ch! Can't compare to our family Lili just can't compare, but also yin and yang.” Wang Hui bristled, turning sideways and holding Qian Lili's arm, very proud of herself, “Lili, no one else can compare to her.”

“That's that's that.” Chen Xu actually didn't retort.

“Aiya, what are you guys talking about, hurry and go home.” Although Qian Lili wouldn't float up just because of such a few words, she still felt embarrassed listening to these two people praising herself so much, she really couldn't listen anymore.

“But Qian Lili, I feel as if you are indeed different from before.” Chen Xu said with a straight face.

His look was serious.

We were classmates for a while, and were considered familiar before, but he had never spoken to Qian Lili like this, to be precise, Wang Hui had never seen him speak seriously to any girl, and never t was playfully detrimental. After a moment of surprise, Wang Hui glanced left and right back and forth between the two people, as if he had discovered some unspeakable secret.

Qian Lili also slightly panicked, not what ambiguous feelings, but worried that Chen Xu really found something abnormal - this is not a superstitious old society that will burn her and cut her down, but if she really changed too much in her words and actions, it will still attract the probing of people around her, adding a lot of trouble for no reason.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Chen Xu asked again, “Did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you so abnormal?”

Qian Lili was relieved.

Wang Hui was disappointed.

Qian Lili didn't want to gossip anymore, so she said, “You're the one who's abnormal! It's almost time for the midterm, who can't be more energetic? I can't compare to you guys, if I don't get into high school this time, I'll have to go out to work.”

“You'll definitely pass, let's hurry up and let him stay here in the sun!” Wang Hui even made a face at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu leaned against the pole and watched the two of them gradually walk away. After two intersections, Wang Hui turned into the gate of the town health center, Qian Lili rode on her worn-out two-six bicycle, the thin figure seems to be a bit unable to handle such a high bicycle, riding is not very stable, crooked people sweating.

Qian Lili did ride unsteadily. Now she is not fully grown, than her adult height is three or four centimeters lower, this broken bike and dad with the village of a cousin uncle to buy, even after adjusting the seat is still very high, she rode very hard.

But she was still in a good mood, riding along the route she remembered while figuring out her next plan.

Having spent two dollars, a partial repayment of a small favor to Wang Hui, Qian Lili was not heartbroken. Even if it is a good friend, there is no long-term unilateral take advantage of the reason, courtesy, the relationship can be healthy and lasting, she can too understand this reason.

Now there are sixteen dollars in hand, she does not intend to give this money to parents, but intends to keep their own to improve food. The things of her previous life are still fresh in her mind, she doesn't want to fill the bottomless pit of her family, and now it is close to the midterm exams, every day revision, brain consumption is very large, but also to prepare for the sports midterm exams, every day running and jumping and sit-ups, the physical exertion is also not small, and she is a long time to grow up, only eating pancakes and salted vegetables are not satiated at all, and it is also unhealthy. Her stomach problems in her previous life started from here, and now she still needs to take care of her body.

Tomorrow is Qingming, and then the weather is getting warmer day by day, the food should not be able to put, she thought about it, she can only buy eggs in the school cafeteria to eat. Boiled eggs in plain water, one fifty cents, eat one a day, sixteen dollars is enough for her to eat for more than a month.

It is not that she is cool and selfish, but the experience of her previous life is really too painful, for the parents and brothers who are lying on her body and sucking blood, she really has to defend.

Qian Lili's village is more than ten miles away from the town, riding a bicycle quickly arrived. Time has passed too long, she forgot, this time there is no “village pass”, back to the village of the road is still dirt bumps, so down the asphalt road, just turned to the village of the dirt road, she almost fell from the car. She simply got out of the car and pushed slowly.

It was already afternoon, there were not many people in the field, and when she arrived home, her younger brother Qian Chengcai, who attended the village elementary school, had long since returned home and was teasing the dog in the yard.

As soon as Qian Lili entered the door, Qian Chengcai saw her and purposely lowered his voice to greet her: “Sister, don't go to the hall, there are people at home, our father is talking with us, and our mother went to the west end of the village to buy meat.”

Qian Chengcai jumped up very quickly, although only in fifth grade, but already more than one meter six, higher than her sister a big block, thick eyebrows, eyes, full of heroism, like a regular spy drama actor in a positive character, the pure and virtuous carved in the face - in fact, the money family looks pretty good, but not much to do with it.

Qian Lili looked at this tiger-headed teenager, it was hard to believe that he would grow up to become addicted to games, not doing his job, and would only ask for money from his family. To her rogue younger brother, she could hate and scold, but to the current simple and somewhat lacking in heart child who had not yet learned the bad things, she could not be cruel, so she nodded with a stern face, “Then I'll go back to the house first.”

“Oh.” Qian Chengcai hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start, so he could only look at Qian Lili blearily.

Noticing his line of sight, Qian Lili sighed in her heart and turned back to ask, “Have you finished your homework?”
