Post-80s Rebirth Daily

Xu Ningyu is the kind of person who buys things very straightforwardly. After asking the price, she will pay if she thinks it is suitable.He directly bought it and took out two yuan from his schoolbag, stretched his arms and put it on the glass cigarette cabinet that was only a little shorter than him: "I want a bottle, please open it."

There are not many children who can take out two yuan at once, but it is not impossible.The shopkeeper was only slightly surprised for a moment, then quickly charged two yuan, and used a bottle opener to pry off the bottle cap.

Xu Ningyu turned her head and shouted outside: "Li Lei, come and have a drink."

"Huh?" Li Lei's eyes widened.He didn't have time to say a word, Xiaoyu just spent two yuan, this little fat boy is too good at spending money!

His face was distorted with distress: "It's not a holiday, why buy this. I'll go home soon. If you said you were thirsty, I'll ask someone for some boiled water for you."

Xu Ning gave him a white look: "It's all open, drink it quickly, and you have to return the bottle." You can also take the drink home, and return the glass bottle to the store after drinking it.But it's too troublesome for them to come once, if they break the bottle, the fifty cents will be for nothing, so let's drink it on the spot.

Li Lei saw that the lid had been opened, and he couldn't return it, so he had to stop the car and come in.

He picked up the tin bottle cap on the counter and put it in his pocket. If there is a lot of this thing, it can be sold for scrap, and it can be smashed for fun. It is also a treasure for children.Then he took the sherbet and handed it to Xu Ningyu's mouth: "You drink it first."

Xu Ningyu didn't refuse, and took a sip.Sweet and sour, very similar to that cheap sour plum juice, it tastes like additives in your mouth, and you can't drink any fruit juice.He shook his head: "I don't like the taste, you can finish the rest."

This little guy doesn't like to drink, so it was bought for him.Li Lei felt warm in his heart. He took it and drank half of it with his head raised, and then he wanted to feed it to Xu Ningyu.

Xu Ningyu waved his hands vigorously: "I really don't want to drink." He can't even touch the things that others have drunk.

Li Lei just finished drinking the sherbet in one go.The half-grown boy can eat and drink, and his stomach is like a bottomless pit, which can hold any amount of things.

"The sherbet is really delicious." Li Lei wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his face full of a youthful smile.

Xu Ningyu nodded and said nothing.

Although Li Lei never complained in front of him, he could tell that Li Lei was not favored at home.I always wear two sets of old clothes back and forth, one is the school uniform, and the shirt inside is so old that it is rotten.

The wages of coal miners are high, and Xu Ningyu has never seen a student wearing patched clothes in school.

Li Lei returned the glass bottle after drinking, and urged the boss to return the fifty cents.As a result, Xu Ningyu said to the boss again: "Uncle, don't change the money, please get another crooked oil."

Wai Wai Oil is clam oil, a child’s palm-sized clam shell is filled with white paste, and the simple ones can be rolled up with white paper. It is a very common skin care product at this time.

In the local dialect, shelled mussel molluscs are collectively called Wai Wai.If you talk about clams to people here, most people probably don't know what they are.It's the owner of this canteen who reads the words "Clam Oil" printed on the outside every day, and keeps pronouncing it as "Harry Oil".

Li Lei not only had a dry mouth, but also rode a bicycle every day, and his hands were red from the cold.Xu Ningyu took the clam oil and handed it to him directly: "Later, apply it on your mouth and hands. It's cold, and you need to wear gloves when you ride a bike."

Li Lei held it in the palm of his hand, stroked the slippery shell, and looked down at Xu Ningyu inexplicably: This villain.Why do you feel that Xiaoyu is more like a brother?

When the boss gave him [-] cents, Li Lei, who thought that his brother's status was threatened, quickly pushed Xu Ningyu out: "Let's go, don't look at it, and you're spending money recklessly. You didn't have any money to buy the stamps just now, did you?"

Xu Ningyu was abruptly pushed out of the shop by Li Lei, feeling a little unsatisfied: "I haven't finished spending, and there are still a few dollars left. I usually have no place to spend money."

The stationery is taken from my aunt, and the snacks and stationery for study are bought at home, so I can save these pocket money.Besides, Xu Ningyu's goal is very ambitious, which is to buy a big house, which can't be saved with such a small amount of money.

"You save the rest of the money yourself. Is your stepmother in charge of the money in your family?" Li Lei asked suddenly with a flash of his eyes.

You're young, and you have a lot to worry about.Xu Ningyu understood why he asked such a question, and said, "My dad's salary is taken care of by himself, and she only cares about the money for buying vegetables."

"That's good." It seems that Xiaoyu's family is headed by his father. If the stepmother is in charge of the money, Xiaoyu is such a big spender, and he will probably be scolded when he goes back.Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

He was actually quite upset.He always thought that he was the big brother, but he didn't have any money on him, and he asked the little fat boy to buy food for him, what kind of person had he become.

"I'll look back and see where I can get some money, and I'll buy you something to eat too." Li Lei said hesitantly, thinking of going back and asking if there was anyone who hired children to work, but it must be hard to find.

Xu Ningyu was speechless: "You are only 11 years old, where can you get money? Study hard, don't think so much, and hire me after you work and earn money."

The tone of the speech was like an adult, Li Lei couldn't help laughing: "You little man, why do you know everything?" He rubbed Xu Ningyu's face vigorously, and Xu Ningyu slapped him on the back of his hand before grinning. Take it to the back seat of the car.

"Go home." Li Lei shouted happily, pedaled his bicycle vigorously again, and started humming indiscriminately.Most of the lyrics are wrong, and occasionally I can hear the line "Dare to ask where the road is, the road is under your feet-" The tune has also gone to the Himalayas.

I'm in a strange mood.Xu Ningyu raised her mouth slightly, touching her face that was often pinched by others, feeling a little distressed, when will this baby fat disappear?

It has been two weeks since I sent a letter to the town that day, and I have not received any reply yet.Most of these magazines are monthly. Although she knows that it is normal to receive a reply within a month or two, Xu Ningyu still feels a little uneasy.

It started to rain early this morning. There were no lights in the classroom, and it was dark. He didn't read or write, and kept looking out of the classroom window with his chin resting on his cheek.

The teacher looked at him several times in class, but finally held back and ignored the youngest and most special student in the class.Xu Ningyu must have studied too hard and was tired, after all, she was so young.The teacher made up his mind and automatically explained for him.

Xu Ningyu didn't know that she had attracted the teacher's attention.He silently calculated how many short articles he had submitted to different newspapers and magazines, and the total number exceeded ten.But since that time, he didn't go to the post office in person again.

Li Lei said it was cold, so he insisted on not letting him go, so he rode his bike to the town for him, and brought back some envelopes and stamps.Xu Ningyu spent all her pocket money, and now she is completely penniless.

It's so sad to have no money. I can't afford a penny of flour candy.Sometimes there is no taste in the mouth, and I really want to eat something sweet.

He was still in a daze until the bell rang for the end of get out of class.I was thinking about what to write next.He has written a lot of essays. Recently, he has thought about writing fairy tales and novels with children as the main characters, but he has not yet formalized it.

Outside the classroom, many children ran around in the rain, deliberately treading water to play.The teacher went out and yelled once, and chased the junior students back to the classroom like rabbits, otherwise these children would definitely wet their clothes and pants.

At this time, he saw that Li Lei was running towards him from a distance without an umbrella.While still outside the door, Li Lei shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu, your letter!"

Xu Ningyu immediately sat up straight and watched Li Lei running to his desk with wet hair.

"I saw your name, so I brought it for you!" Li Lei wiped his wet hands on his pants, and took out a large envelope from his pocket.He stuffed the letter in his coat, which was well protected and didn't get wet at all.

There is a desk under the eaves of the school guard room. The postman will put the letter on the table when he delivers the letter, and the person who receives the letter will take it by himself.At that time, communication was underdeveloped, there were no mobile phones, and there were few calls. People who separated the two places mainly communicated by writing letters, so the school received many letters every day.

From the time he sent the letter, Li Lei had to go around the guard room every day after class, for fear of missing Xu Ningyu's letter, and he was the first to get it.

Seeing the size and thickness of the envelope, Xu Ningyu could almost hold a magazine, her heart beat involuntarily.

"Let me open it for you." Seeing that he hadn't moved, Li Lei opened the envelope enthusiastically with a pencil sharpener, revealing a brand new copy of "Must Read for Elementary School Students" inside.

Xu Ningyu put the magazine aside, and there was a reply letter from the editorial department and a thin money order in the envelope.The reply letter was printed on A4 paper, to the effect that "we have adopted your manuscript, and hope that the author will write more and better works in the future".Should be a generic reply template.

The letter was very short, Xu Ningyu read it with a glance, and her heart fell to the ground.He picked up the postal money order again, saw that the amount was six yuan, and wrinkled his little nose.The manuscript fee seems to be a bit low.

Li Lei asked excitedly from the side: "Is this selected? Let me just say, you can do it!"

The other students in the class had gathered around a long time ago, and now they asked in a hurry: "Xu Ningyu, why did someone send you a book?" "Have you made pen pals yet?"

It was very popular to make pen pals at this time. Many newspapers and magazines had a column of "Advertisement for Friendship", listing the self-introduction and mailing address of different people. If you are interested, you can write to them. If the other party also writes back, two strangers I made pen pals.People from all over the world can communicate with each other, and some pen pals can even last for many years.

Publishing articles in magazines is also considered a very honorable thing, and there is no need to hide it.Li Lei immediately helped to promote it, as proud as he was when he won the award: "Xu Ningyu wrote an article and sent it to the magazine, and was selected. If it's not published, they sent a book."

Xu Ningyu nodded, put the remittance slip in the interlayer of the small schoolbag, zipped it up, and let the students pass the magazines and replies to them at will.

The classmates who are close to me actually contributed articles to the magazine, and the things and names they wrote were printed in the book. To elementary school students, this is as magical as a fairy tale.They all opened their mouths "wow", scrambling to read the words "Xu Ningyu" on "Primary School Students Must Read", as well as the printed letter, everything was so novel.

"Xu Ningyu is too good!" The students exclaimed.

A boy in the back row hugged his chest, with an unconvinced expression on his face: "What's the matter, I will also write when I get back. I will write two articles." He pointed out two short little fingers.

Another little boy also jumped up, opened his palm to show ten fingers, and shouted: "I will write ten articles!"

Finally, she had enough money to continue buying stamps and envelopes. Xu Ningyu was in a good mood, and ignored the elementary school students' competitiveness.Even if only one article is selected, it almost earns back the initial investment, and the next article will be a net profit. He has no pressure now.

"The little child prodigy in class [-] wrote an article and published it!" After one class, the news spread throughout the school.
