Ordinary countryside reborn

Chapter 118
Li Mei sat on the bed and took out the family account book, which recorded the family's income and expenditures in the past few years.

She turned back page by page, her fingers were rough and dry, and after turning a few pages, she always had to drink a little bit of saliva to continue turning.

I earned a lot of money last year. After deducting the tuition fees for my two children, some expenses at home, and human relationships, and paying off the debt I borrowed in the village, I still have more than 200 yuan left.

This is the year that their family has had the most income in so many years. Where would there be any savings in previous years, it would be good if they don't owe money everywhere.

But Li Mei frowned at this moment.

Tian Zhi snored beside him, the sound was like thunder. He got up early in the morning and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed after working all morning.

Li Mei didn't want to sleep, since she was going to send Tian Jing to school, she had to do a good job of reckoning.

The tuition fees of vocational schools are not cheap. She heard from her eldest sister that it costs about 2000 yuan a semester. Now that her family does not have enough savings, she is somewhat flustered.

But it's okay to think about it, as long as the tuition fees are prepared before the start of school in the second half of the year.

Li Mei put away her things and went to the middle bedroom.There was no one in the room, Tian Yu was still at school and hadn't come back, Tian Jing probably ran out to play again.

She said she was going to study like this, and she didn't know if she could get in. Li Mei shook her head, sighed, and called out, "Yuanyuan?"

Tian Yuan doesn't like to go out to play, she basically stays at home.

"Hey, Mom, I'm in the toilet, come out right away."

The voice came from the back door, Li Mei sat on the bed and waited, and after a while, Tian Yuan came in.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Before Li Mei could speak, Tianyuan let out an oh, and took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it over, "This time I went to the city, besides the food I brought back, I also bought a mobile phone for you to use, yesterday Just talking about my sister going to school, I forgot about it."

Li Mei was stunned, and it took a while to react, and took the phone, but she has no intention of researching it now.

Because she had something in her heart, her brows were still frowned, and she looked at Tian Yuan and asked, "It's warmed up now, Boss Fang hasn't ordered clothes yet?"

The family's income now depends entirely on making clothes. If Boss Fang doesn't order clothes from her, then she doesn't know where to find the tuition fees.

Tian Yuan could see that she was probably worrying about Tian Jing's tuition.

In her previous life, when Li Mei went around collecting tuition fees for them, Tian Yuan didn't know anything about it. She only knew that she was the only one who hadn't paid the tuition fees when school started. She was afraid that the teacher would come and urge her. Panic.It was not until Tian Zhi or Li Mei paid her tuition that Tian Yuan felt that she could finally go to school openly.

"Is the tuition fee not enough?"

Tian Yuan climbed onto the bed, rummaged through the schoolbag on the bed frame, took out a passbook and handed it to Li Mei.

"I still have a little money here. I earned it during last summer vacation. Do you see if it's enough?"

Li Mei stretched out her hand in a daze, and took the passbook, only to realize that the phone was still in her hand. She glanced at Tian Yuan, and put the phone in her pocket.

Opening the passbook, she saw that the balance displayed on it was a little over 1000. She shook the red book in her hand and asked, "Isn't this the money you got from selling radishes? Didn't you just sell radishes last summer?" ?”

As soon as she looked up, she thought of something again, and added: "Oh, you're still selling paintings."

It is estimated that not many people buy such an expensive painting. I did not expect that carrots can make a lot of money. It is a pity not to do it now.

Tian Yuan shook his head: "No, the money for selling radishes is not so much, and I spent a lot of money, and I even bought this mobile phone. There is nothing left from what I earned before."

Li Mei thought about it. Last year, Tianyuan bought fish and meat every now and then, and also bought fruits and snacks. She really spent generously. She wondered, "Then where did you earn the money?"

Tian Yuan smiled and said: "Didn't I ask you for the household registration booklet to apply for an ID card? I mentioned to you at that time that I was going to submit a manuscript online. In fact, I wrote a novel. These are the money earned from the novel. "

There was a hint of pride on her face, and she never thought of hiding her true emotions in front of Li Mei.She invested 1 yuan in the stock market, and the remaining [-] yuan was reserved for emergency use.

Li Mei snorted and asked curiously, "Are you still writing this novel?"

Tian Yuan: "I finished writing, now I am going to write the second book."

Li Mei didn't understand this at all, and she didn't know how to make money by writing novels. She was silent for a moment and said, "Then don't delay your studies, you don't have to worry about making money. If Boss Fang really doesn't want to make clothes with us Alright, I will go to the market with your aunt to set up a stall and try to sell it, there will always be a way."

Pastoral smiled and nodded.

She knew that Li Mei had always been like this, and she would rather work harder than delay her child's study.

----

After dinner, Tian Xiao came to find her. She and Tian Yuan are not in the same school, and the holiday time is a little different, and sometimes she does not go back to Wushan Village during the holidays, but goes to her grandmother's house, and Tian Yuan hasn't seen her for a long time. up.

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing, can you watch TV?" Tian Xiao shouted as soon as he entered the door.

In the kitchen, only Tian Yuan was writing novels, Tian Jing slipped away after eating, she didn't want to be caught by Li Mei to read.

Tian Zhi was called to the team for a meeting before he had eaten his meal. Li Mei saw that he hadn't come back, so she brought a meal to find him.

"You're back, is Xiaohang not coming back this semester?"

Tian Yuan was also very happy to see Tian Xiao, went to the room to get some snacks and put them on, and made another bowl of tea for her.

Tian Xiao took the teacup, hehe laughed: "How did you make such a move, you are so polite."

Tian Xiao blew on the hot tea in his hand, took two sips, and said in a light tone: "If he doesn't come back, grandma's side is more fun. He spoiled him like an emperor, and bought a lot of toys for him. I am willing to come back."

Both grandpa and grandma paid more attention to Tian Hang as a boy. Tian Xiao felt that he was treated differently. Although she was not jealous, the way adults often did made her feel a little sad.

Tianyuan tore open a box of biscuits and handed it to her, "Third Uncle went out to work, but Third Aunt didn't go this time, why hasn't she returned to the village?"

Tian Xiao picked up a biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "I don't know her, and I don't care about their adults' affairs."

She shook her head, as if unwilling to mention more, "Let's not talk about them, how about you, is it fun in school?"

"Study at school, what are you playing?"

"."

Tian Yuan remembered that Tian Xiao's family had a problem in the second semester of high school. Hey, she really couldn't get involved in matters between adults. When she thought of Tian Xiao's failure to pass the college entrance examination because of an accident at home, she looked at Tian Xiao with compassion.
