She put the money in her pocket and said, "Changming, my brother is on a business trip today, it’s just my sister-in-law at home, I have to rush back, otherwise if I’m late, she won’t let me in."
As she ran out of the small woods, she said, "Changming, remember to give me ten yuan again next month when you get paid."
Guo Changming was really depressed.
A temporary job only pays eighteen yuan a month; he can’t even spend it all on himself, and he has to support a girlfriend...
Why does he suddenly feel like this girlfriend isn’t as appealing?
...
When Yuan Chun got to the bottom of the apartment building, she saw the fool Chen Haomin hiding sneakily behind the stairs, peeking upstairs. Yuan Chun walked over to him and asked in a low voice, "Chen Haomin, what are you looking at?"
"Shh, keep it down, I’m looking for the pretty sister."
"Does your sister live here?"
"Yes, I asked Xiao Qiang and the others, and my pretty sister lives here." Chen Haomin lowered his voice and only then turned his head.
Seeing Yuan Chun, his face lit up with joy, "Pretty sister, why did you come down? I won a lot of candy, all for you."
Yuan Chun was taken aback, "You came to find me?"
"Yes, yes, I promised sister that when I won candy, I would share it with her, but she disappeared. I looked for a long time, and it was Xiao Qiang who told me that sister lives here. I waited a long, long time for sister, but I couldn’t wait any longer, so I went home to eat."
Chen Haomin grinned mischievously and told her, "My mom didn’t let me go out at night; I sneaked out. Sister, here’s your candy. I need to hurry back home, or my mom will spank me for not being home."
Yuan Chun took the seven or eight candies from his hand and took out seven or eight milk candies to put in his hand, "We can exchange, so it’s fair."
"Hehe... hehe... Sister, you’re so nice."
Chen Haomin couldn’t wait to unwrap a candy and popped it into his mouth, "Sister, I like milk candy, so sweet."
"Even if you like it, don’t eat too much; too much will give you a toothache. Remember, you can only eat one piece a day," Yuan Chun reminded him.
Chen Haomin put the rest of the candy in his pocket, "These candies are for me to eat, one per day as given by sister; I won’t take them to play any games."
Yuan Chun just laughed, quietly following him from behind, weaving through more than half of the residential area before reaching the isolated courtyard where the Chen family lived.
She watched him enter the courtyard gate before smiling and heading home.
After Wei Yuanfang went on a business trip, nobody was there to wash Zhao Dongxiu’s clothes, and no one was there to help her clean her room. After work, she had to wash clothes, feed the child, and clean the room herself, which left her looking extremely exhausted, her breath radiating heat like a spark of anger.
Yuan Chun didn’t live her days watching her mood. She took care of Da Bao during the day, met up with jerks for dates in the evenings, and occasionally bumped into the sneakily playful Chen Haomin.
Life was quite carefree.
Of course, if she didn’t have to deal with the ultimate hassles, it would be even more relaxing.
On this day, a weekend, Zhao Dongxiu stayed home to look after the child. Yuan Chun carried a big basket on her back and went to the mountains just outside the city to pick mushrooms.
She went in the morning and came back in the afternoon.
As Yuan Chun entered the house with a basket full of mushrooms and a big wild chicken, Mrs. Zhao warmly greeted her, "Aunt Dabao is back! Oh my, you picked so many mushrooms. You’re really capable, even found quite a few red mushrooms. These are good, dry them out and stew them with some chicken—they’ll be so fragrant and tasty, the best!"
