Chapter 32 The Brothers and Sisters of the Jiang Family Buy Ruan Qingqing a Big Watermelon

Ruan Dahai’s Dahai Garment Factory is currently engaged in garment processing. Customers will design their own styles, and even provide fabrics and accessories. Dahai Garment Factory only needs to produce according to orders and customer requirements, and deliver finished products on time. can.

Ruan Dahai naturally agreed with Ruan Qingqing's desire to start her own clothing brand.

Ruan Qingqing has a bit of talent in painting, and won the first prize in the school's painting competition when she was a child, but it is not enough to enter the Academy of Fine Arts, she has to find a professional teacher to learn.

-

In the Jiang family, the brother and sister are counting the old things brought back from the Ruan family.

"Brother, there are sixth grade textbooks and junior high school textbooks!"

"There are also English newspapers and English tapes!"

Although the nine-year compulsory education has been implemented in the past two years, textbooks have been exempted, but the money for homework and exercise books still needs to be paid. After-school workbooks, these are expensive expenses.

After Jiang Chen went out, Jiang Yao dumped all the things in the bag on the ground, picking and picking like a treasure.

Put the useful ones on one side, and the useless ones on the other, and then sell them for scrap.

The next day, when Jiang Chen came home from work, the brothers and sisters took the useless old things to the junk recycling station, plus the old bottles and cardboard rotten iron that Jiang Yao picked up during this time, sold them for a full five yuan and three cents six cents.

For the Jiang family, it was a windfall.

Two-thirds of them came from two large bags of old things given by the Ruan family.

"Brother, should we buy something for my sister as a thank you?"

On the way back, Jiang Yao suggested excitedly.

Jiang Chen said nothing with a cold face, but he was silently calculating in his heart.

What can five dollars buy?People may not value it if it is cheap, and it is not worth it if it is expensive.

This is also the reason why he rejected Ruan Qingqing without any hesitation. He owed a favor after receiving something, and the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay.

But Ruan Dahai took the initiative to come to the door, and if he refused again, he would be ignorant.

"Watermelon, big, sweet watermelon..."

When I was approaching the entrance of the community, I met a melon vendor pushing a cart selling watermelons.

"Brother, why don't we buy a watermelon for my sister?"

Hearing Jiang Yao's proposal, Jiang Chen walked over to ask the price in a strange manner, and the melon farmer replied with a smile: "One dime a catty, the watermelon grown at home is very sweet, taste it as you like."

The brothers and sisters each tasted a piece, and it was indeed sweet and juicy.

Jiang Chen picked a medium-sized one, weighing fifteen catties.

The price of one yuan and five is also reasonable, and it is just right to eat watermelon this season, and it can be given away.

On the way home, Jiang Yao was very excited. It was the first time she had bought such a big watermelon when she grew up so big. Although she didn't eat it herself but gave it away, she was still very happy and turned her head from time to time to look at Jiang Chen hugging The big watermelon is so sweet in my heart.

After entering the community, I met many neighbors, and they were surprised to see the brother and sister holding a big watermelon.

The poverty of the Jiang family is well-known in the whole community. In what age, the brother and sister are still dressed in tatters like ten years ago, not to mention that Jiang's mother is a paralyzed person who can't take care of herself.

It is also puzzling that such a family can live in a unit building.

Logically speaking, such a family should live in a slum like a village in the city.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ruan Qingqing thought it was Ruan Dahai who had returned, but when she opened the door, she found out that it was the Jiang family brothers and sisters.

"Sister, we sold the old books and newspapers you gave, and they sold for several dollars. My brother said that he would treat you to eat watermelon."

Who the hell said to buy watermelon?

Jiang Chen glared at his sister, handed the watermelon to Ruan Qingqing, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's for you and Uncle Hai."

Seeing the watermelon several times the size of her own head, Ruan Weiwei stretched out her hand in confusion, but she underestimated the weight of the watermelon.

"Crack."

The watermelon fell to the ground and split in two.

The air was quiet for a moment.

"Sorry, I wasn't sure..."

Ruan Weiwei looked at the two brothers and sisters helplessly. They bought a watermelon with good intentions and delivered it to their door, but she dropped it. They shouldn't have misunderstood that she hated the watermelon and dropped it on purpose, right?
"It's okay, sister. Fortunately, it was broken into two pieces and it wasn't dirty."

Jiang Yao is young and pure-hearted, and doesn't think too much at all.

As for Jiang Chen, his face was as cold as usual, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

Seeing Jiang Chen bending over to pick up the watermelon on the ground, Ruan Qingqing also hurriedly picked up the other half.

Jiang Chen originally wanted to pick up the watermelon and hand it to Ruan Qingqing, but when he saw that she was holding the other half in her arms, he couldn't help but stop.

Ruan gently looked at the other half of the watermelon in Jiang Chen's hand, and said quickly, "I want half of it. Dad and I are the only ones in the house. If you can't finish that much, you can take the half back." Let's eat at home."

After speaking, he hurriedly kicked the door shut for fear that the siblings would refuse.

The kick was a bit heavy, and the door closed with a bang, and it was unknown if it hit the siblings' heads.

Ruan gently put his ears against the door panel, and he was relieved when he heard no screams, and happily carried half of the watermelon to the kitchen.

Looking at half of the watermelon with thin skin and red flesh, Ruan lightly took a small slice of the vegetable blade to taste.

Crunchy, sweet and juicy.

He also knows to buy watermelon as a gift, so he has a conscience!
Ruan gently put half a watermelon in the refrigerator to freeze, planning to eat it when Ruan Dahai came back from get off work.

At Jiang's house, when he got home, Jiang Chen cut up the watermelon, put half of it in a washbasin and put it on a bucket filled with water, and cut the other half into small triangular pieces, and took it to Lin Ronghua's room to eat together.

While eating the watermelon happily, Jiang Yao deliberately teased, "Brother, you didn't mean to break the watermelon in half on purpose, did you? Then we can carry half back and eat it."

Jiang Chen gave Lin Ronghua some watermelon while feeding her, and gave her a sideways glance, "You can't keep your mouth shut if you have something to eat."

Jiang Yao asked Lin Ronghua with a smile, "Mom, is watermelon sweet?"

Lin Ronghua nodded with a smile and said sweetly.

"Mom, in a few days I'll pick up the junk and sell it for money, and then I'll buy it for you."

"Bought the watch, you can save the money until school starts to buy stationery."

When it comes to going to school, Jiang Yao subconsciously looks at Jiang Chen.

She used to feel that her family was in trouble, so she had the idea of ​​not wanting to study, but now that she had the old textbooks and supplementary materials Ruan Qingqing gave her, she wanted to continue studying again.

But after all, it was she who said that she didn't want to read, and now she wanted to read again, so she felt awkward in her heart.

Jiang Chen gnawed the watermelon in his hand until only the green skin was left, and then he spoke to Jiang Yao, "If you have nothing to do, you should spend more time reading in the house, and less time running around."

Jiang Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with joy on her face, "Understood, I'm not running out to play, I'm making money."

"You don't need to worry about making money."

Lin Ronghua also said, "Yaoyao, listen to your brother, your task now is to study hard."

"got it."

-

Ruan Dahai asked people to help everywhere, and soon found Ruan Qingqing a Chinese painting teacher who had just retired from the Academy of Fine Arts.

The teacher's surname is Xu, and her full name is Xu Jingmei. She is 56 years old this year, probably because she is engaged in the art education industry. She has a calm and elegant temperament and good skin. She looks like she is in her 40s.

Xu Jingmei did not immediately agree to accept Ruan Qingqing as a student.

She first asked Ruan Qingqing's life plan in a soft voice, and then took out the drawing board and pencil to test Ruan Qingqing's painting skills.
