At this moment, Xie Mingzhu and Lin Qiang held each other's hands and looked at each other.

"I haven't seen you for two years, but you look more and more beautiful."

Xie Mingzhu had a smile on her face, and her eyes were a little red.

Lin Qiang was the same, her voice was a little choked up: "You have become darker, and you have also become thinner."

In the countryside, people are exposed to the wind and the sun, and they work under the sun every day, so it’s no wonder it’s not dark.

"When you come back to raise it, you will be back for nothing soon." Lin Qiang hurriedly comforted her.

Xie Mingzhu didn't care about this.

"Let's go to the house first."

Lin Qiang is Xie Mingzhu's good friend, and the relationship between the two has been very good since the first class in elementary school.

Even if something happened to the Xie family later, Lin Qiang did not keep distance from Xie Mingzhu because of this, the two have always been good friends.

Lin Qiang was the youngest child in the family. The older sister and second brother had jobs, and the third brother went to the countryside. At that time, the policy was not so tight, so she didn't need to go to the countryside.

In the past three years when Xie Mingzhu went to the countryside, they have been exchanging letters.

Looking at the lively Lin Qiang in front of her, Xie Mingzhu's eyes turned red.

Lin Qiang in her previous life also had a hard life.

She works in a publishing house as an editor. Although she is very busy, it is still a good job.

Later, because he rejected a manuscript that did not match the direction of the publishing house's work, he was maliciously retaliated by the contributor, fell from upstairs, hit his head, and became a vegetable. Until Xie Mingzhu jumped off the building, he couldn't Wake up again.

Looking at her alive now really made Xie Mingzhu a little excited.

She suppressed her excitement, took Lin Qiang's hand into the living room, poured her a cup of tea, and said softly: "I have a lot to do when I come back. You know, there are many elders in the family. We will meet one by one."

Xie Mingzhu looked at her, "I was planning to wait for the elders to visit you before looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

Hearing what she said, Lin Qiang was barely satisfied: "Even if you can't refute your reasons, I forgive you!"

"How do you know I'm back?"

Lin Qiang's family is not nearby, so if no one told her, they probably wouldn't know that she was back.

Lin Qiang replied, "I met Sister Siyu on the road yesterday, she told me."

Without waiting for Xie Mingzhu to ask any more questions, he approached her curiously, "By the way, where is your man? Why didn't you see him? Didn't he come back with you?"

She had noticed just now that it didn't look like there was anyone else in the house.

"Didn't you write to me before and tell me that you will come back this month to hold a banquet?" Lin Qiang frowned, "If he doesn't come back, how will the banquet be held? Are you alone?"

In the past few days, Xie Mingzhu has explained this incident countless times, and this time is not bad.

She said calmly, "I'm not married."

Lin Qiang was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Mingzhu told the story again.

"I'm fucking! This dog! I'm fucking him!"

As soon as Lin Qiang uttered a series of swear words, each sentence became more swearing, Xie Mingzhu was stunned and swallowed slightly.

Seeing Xie Mingzhu staring at her, she scratched her head embarrassingly: "Sorry, I'm used to it, just pretend I was farting and didn't hear anything!"

Xie Mingzhu shook her head helplessly.

"By the way, how are you doing? Are you in good health?"

Xie Mingzhu changed the subject.

Lin Qiang shrugged her shoulders, "I'm in pretty good health. I'm not sick or in trouble. My job is still the same. I'm still working in a publishing house with a salary of 25 yuan."

After a pause, his face was full of joy again, "However, after this year, the salary should be raised."

Having said that, the expression on his face became happy.

This year, teachers should be full, and wages will rise by then.

Seeing her money-obsessed appearance, Xie Mingzhu couldn't help laughing: "It's not bad to have 25 yuan, you live at home, you don't have to go out to rent a house, and you don't have other expenses, just keep five yuan a month With pocket money by my side, if I save 20 yuan, wouldn’t it be more than 200 yuan a year?”

From time to time, the publishing house will give some allowances and benefits, and the money saved in a year may be more than 200 yuan.

As soon as this was mentioned, Lin Qiang's small face instantly collapsed.

"Do you think my family's situation is the same as yours? I'm not like you, I'm a baby gold bump at home."

With 25 yuan a month, she can only keep ten yuan.

Xie Mingzhu looked sideways at her: "How do you say?"

Lin Qiang sighed lightly: "Every month when I get paid, I have to hand over more than half of it to my mother to subsidize the family. If I can save five yuan a month, it is considered a lot."

The distance to the publishing house is not close, and I have to back up the bus every day to go to work, and the monthly pass costs two or three yuan.

There is no young girl who doesn't like to dress up, they all love to be smug, sometimes they can't ask their mother for money when they buy some daily necessities and cosmetics they need.

If you want to buy some small snacks when you are hungry, you have to pay for it yourself.

Going out with colleagues to go shopping, watch a movie, and buy clothes, after a year, you can't save much at all.

Fortunately, meals do not cost money.

Eat at home in the morning and evening, and eat at work at noon.

If you need money even for meals, it is estimated that you can save five yuan a month.

If the money was spent on her parents, she would naturally not say a word.

Her parents raised her so much, even if she handed in all her salary, she would be willing.

However, if the money was spent on their son, she would feel aggrieved in her heart.

"Elder Sister is relieved now, and she doesn't need to supplement the family. Unfortunately, I don't know when I will be relieved!" Lin Qiang was crying.

In the early years, the treatment of the eldest sister at home was exactly the same as that of her now.

They need to subsidize the family, but the two older brothers do not.

They just need to save their wages.

Not only that, but also take half of her salary.

Lin Qiang didn't know at first, she just thought that the two older brothers were going to hand over the money to their parents.

It was only once that she accidentally found out that the mother turned around and gave her two brothers the family subsidy. Only then did she know that she was the only one who had been subsidizing the family!

She questioned her mother about this, and her mother just said lightly: "What do you compare with your brother? Both of them are going to marry a wife. If you don't save them more money, how can you marry a good wife?"

For this matter, she made a fuss and cried, but it was useless.

The neighbors around helped her parents to persuade her, and even people from the street office came to the door, saying that she was an ignorant daughter.
