After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 129 My Heart Missed a Beat

These two people must want to talk about Guan Youshuang again.

Fu Ruihua's house was not far from Peng Xiaoling's house. A few minutes later, Peng Xiaoling followed her over.

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and then the phone rang.

Fu Ruihua pointed at the pendulum clock on the wall and said, "Don't answer it yet. There are still a dozen seconds until 7:55. It will be a round number so that we can calculate the money."

Fu Ruihua didn't know how to check the duration of a call, so whenever Dong Yongan was not at home, he would check the clock himself.

You have to pay to answer the phone, this is a convention that everyone in the area knows.

Usually, it costs 2 cents per minute, but Fu Ruihua has its own set of rules: 1 cents per minute, 3 cents per minute, and 2 cents per minute.

In fact, since making phone calls is not cheap, many times people from other places will just call for a minute or two, hear their family’s voices, and then hang up.

But because of Fu Ruihua's rule, calls to Fu Ruihua's home usually last nearly three minutes, with a difference of one or two seconds.

Peng Xiaoling picked up the phone at the exact moment, and Huang Chunyan's anxious voice came out.

"Xiaoling, I won't waste my time on the phone. Tell me how she treats Yuanyuan."

Peng Xiaoling said to Fu Ruihua, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and eating melon seeds, "Sister-in-law, can I talk to Chunyan alone for a few words?"

Fu Ruihua glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll go out then."

After Fu Ruihua left, Peng Xiaoling quickly said, "I think you should come back as soon as possible, don't waste your time just for a few bucks.

After all, she is not my biological mother, so I don’t know how good she can be to Yuanyuan. But last time, she beat Yuanyuan under the big locust tree. I guess everyone in the village knows about it. She beat him so hard. As a mother, we definitely can’t do that.”

"Why? Why did she hit my son?"

"Well, the boy was naughty, maybe because he climbed a tree or something, anyway, if you want to beat him, isn't it easy to find a reason?

Also, she didn't let Yuanyuan study hard, and she actually let him go to the wheat field to sell popcorn to earn money. Tell me, whose child is so young to do this."

"Did Yuanyuan and the others take exams recently? Do you know how many points he got?"

Peng Xiaoling sighed and said, "I haven't taken the test yet, but Xiaofan said that Yuanyuan doesn't know anything and often copies other people's homework."

"Also, Yuanyuan is not as well behaved as before. He often buys random things outside, such as water guns and instant noodles. Sigh, if this continues, will he still know that making money is not easy?"

There was a sound of banging on the wall from the other side. Huang Chunyan said angrily, "This is too much. Last time, I helped her decorate the wedding room day and night, and she treated my son like this?"

"So you should come back quickly, let Ruyi go and earn money by herself, and educate your child well, don't lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds."

"Okay, Xiaoling, I get it. It's almost time. I'm going to hang up first. I'll call you next time."

"Okay, then get busy."

Peng Xiaoling hung up the phone and Fu Ruihua came in just in time.

She promptly glanced at the pendulum clock and saw that it was 7:58, several seconds had passed, so she said, "Just give me 8 cents."

Peng Xiaoling was stunned and said, "Sister-in-law, I only answered the phone for more than two minutes."

"When you answer the phone, you all like to take advantage of that one or two seconds, but hanging up also takes time, and it's over in a flash. I asked the post office, and they charge one second as one minute."

Peng Xiaoling smiled and said, "No sister-in-law, I just watched it specifically, it was no more than 3 minutes."

Fu Ruihua said unhappily: "You guys are being a little unkind. I came in when you hung up the phone. I'm not blind."

Peng Xiaoling was angry but didn't know what to say. In the end, it was all because their family was too poor and couldn't even afford a phone!

She took out the 6 cents she had prepared from her left trouser pocket, and then searched for a long time in her right trouser pocket, finally getting out 8 cents and handed it over.

"You said Errong's wife, she looks quite generous, why would she feed the workers that kind of food?"

If it were any other day, Peng Xiaoling would have had a nice chat with her, but today, she really had no interest in chatting with such a woman, so she said, "I don't know about that. I haven't washed the dishes yet, so I'll go home first."

The sky gradually darkened and a few stars twinkled in the sky.

There were few lights in the village.

The air was filled with the smell of earth, mixed with the occasional barking of dogs and the lowing of cows and sheep.

It was a very ordinary night.

But today, Peng Xiaoling felt very irritated. Suddenly, she felt something under her feet. She kicked it away, and the thing let out a scream and ran away.

It turned out to be a wild cat.

Accompanied by a beam of light, a car drove towards the entrance of the village.

There is only one tricycle in their village. Who is driving it so late at night?

Peng Xiaoling looked back and was a little blinded by the car lights, so she raised her hands to cover her eyes.

The car stopped beside her.

Gu Errong rolled down the window and shouted, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

Peng Xiaoling was surprised and said, "Errong! Why are you back so late? It's so dangerous to drive at night."

"Well, I worked overtime this afternoon. It was already past six when I finished. I wanted to come back and take a look."

"You're obviously thinking about your wife."

Gu Errong smiled and said nothing.

Watching Gu Errong drive away, Peng Xiaoling snorted and thought: Men are like this, when they just get married they can't wait to be with their wives every day, but after a few years, it's too late to hide away.

in the kitchen.

Guan Youshuang is teaching Yuanyuan how to wash dishes.

Yuanyuan has never washed dishes since he was a child.

Because the large earthen stove in the countryside is relatively high and the pot is relatively deep, Yuanyuan had to stand on a bench.

He followed the method taught by Guan Youshuang, holding the rag in his little hands, and scrubbing the inside, sides and bottom of the bowl.

Because the bowl was too big for him to hold with one hand, he would press the bowl against the bottom of the pot and slowly turn it.

"Yuanyuan, you are already eight years old. You should learn to do more housework, such as folding the quilt in the morning, sweeping the yard on weekends, washing your own socks, etc."

"I can wash socks, but my grandma won't let me. She says I don't wash them cleanly and that I'm wasting water and detergent."

Guan Youshuang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell grandma about it later."

The two were chatting when the door rang.

Guan Youshuang lifted the door curtain and felt her heart skip a beat.

Gu Errong actually appeared at the doorstep!

He stood at the door, his chiseled face looking particularly profound in the dim light.

His shadow stretched long on the ground, matching the calmness of his steps.

Maybe because it was cooler at night, he wore a loose white casual jacket today, which made him look even more handsome.

Although they have been married for such a long time, Guan Youshuang still couldn't help but say in her heart: Wow, so handsome!

Gu Errong also saw her, smiled slightly and walked straight over.
