Chapter 969
Although in terms of fighting, Wang An doesn't need Wang Yi's help, but Wang An still feels quite happy that Wang Yi has this heart.
Consequently, Wang An asked Wang Yi with a smile:
"Xiao Yi, school will start in a few days, right? Is there anything else you want? I'll buy it back for you when I have time."
All along, Wang Yi has been quite worry-free, and the key is that this child generally doesn't ask for things actively, which is quite rare.
Wang Yi glanced at Mu Xueqing and then said to Wang An with a grin:
"Big brother, give me some money? I want to buy it myself, okay?"
Hearing this, Wang An couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously thinking of his own embarrassment when he was in school without a cent in his pocket.
It must be said that students in this era have very little money in their pockets, and people call students at this time "bitter students."
It's not that parents don't want to give it, mainly because the vast majority of parents don't have money in their pockets either.
Smiling, Wang An said to Wang Yi:
"Give you some money? Hehehe... okay, how much do you want?"
Wang Yi hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said:
"1... um, give me 2 yuan, okay big brother?"
After speaking, Wang Yi looked at Wang An with hopeful eyes, but it could also be seen that Wang Yi was obviously a bit flustered, as if he was afraid that Wang An would not agree.
After all, 2 yuan in this era definitely cannot be considered a small amount of money.
You have to know that the tuition fee at this time is only 1.2 yuan a year, white flour is only 1 mao 8 per jin, rice is only 2 mao 2 per jin, and if you compare it with the wages of temporary workers at this time, you can better reflect what the concept of 2 yuan is.
Hearing 2 yuan, Wang An laughed out loud, tried to hold back his laughter, but still asked curiously:
"What do you want to buy with 2 yuan?"
Actually, Wang An already had a guess in his heart, that is, Wang Yi wanted 2 yuan to help that classmate named Gu Xiaoshuang pay tuition, or to keep it as a backup, if Gu Xiaoshuang couldn't pay tuition, then Wang Yi would help her pay it.
Wang Yi scratched his head, pondered for a long time before saying: "I was thinking that..."
Just about to say it, Wang Yi might have realized something and changed his words:
"I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know what I'm missing, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to wander around, hehehehe."
Not exposing Wang Yi, Wang An took the bean bag that filtered the honey residue from the basin, threw it into another empty basin, and instructed Wang Yi:
"Xiao Yi, scoop some water into this basin and soak this bean bag."
Wang Yi stood up and said:
"Hey, okay Fourth Brother."
Wang Yi went to scoop water, and Wang An didn't stay idle either, getting up to find canned bottles in the cupboard.
After Wang An placed several canned bottles next to the honey basin, he took out a ten-yuan note and handed it to Wang Yi, and said with a smile:
"What can 2 yuan do? I'll give you 10 yuan. As long as you study hard, I'll cover all your expenses when you study in the future, hehehe."
Studying at this time doesn't cost much money, but as long as there is money, life in school will definitely be very comfortable.
Who knew that when Wang Yi saw it was 10 yuan, he didn't dare to take it, and muttered:
"I don't dare to put so much money in my pocket, what if I lose it? Big brother, just give me two yuan, that's enough."
Looking at the sensible Wang Yi, Wang An felt very comforted; this younger brother of his will definitely be fine in the future.
Consequently, Wang An put away the ten-yuan note, took the few one-yuan and two-yuan banknotes sandwiched in the money, plus a few one-mao, two-mao, and five-mao notes, and a few one-fen and two-fen notes, totaling about six or seven yuan, and stuffed them all to Wang Yi, then said with a smile:
"If you are afraid of losing it, take less, and leave the rest at home, in your own room, anyway, no one will touch it for you, hehehe..."
Patting Wang Yi on the shoulder, Wang An didn't instruct Wang Yi with words like "don't spend money randomly" or "be frugal," and so on.
Mainly because in Wang An's view, when there is no money, being frugal is appropriate, but when there is money and you are reluctant to spend it, that's not called being frugal, that's called being stingy.
Wang Yi looked at the money in his hand blankly, and suddenly said to Wang An with a smile:
"Thank you big brother, hehehe."
Wang An smiled at Wang Yi and focused on pouring honey into the canned bottles.
Pure wild honey is in a semi-liquid and semi-solid state, which can be said to be very viscous. Fortunately, the mouth of the canned bottle is relatively large, so it won't spill outside.
It must be said that the honeycomb in this season can be said to be the time when the honey production is the highest throughout the year, much, much more than digging honey at ordinary times.
And the honeycombs of Wang An and Mu Xueli put together also squeezed out quite a bit of honey, and after filling 8 canned bottles, the remaining ones filled another half a canned bottle.
These canned bottles all have a capacity of 500ml, so these honeys put together must be more than 12 jin.
Of course, the reason for this is because honey is heavier than water. Normally speaking, 500ml of water is 1 jin, but 500ml of honey is 1 jin 4 taels.
Looking at the honey remaining at the bottom of the basin, Wang An subconsciously put his head into the basin and licked it with his tongue.
Smacking his lips, Wang An nodded and praised:
"Aiya, damn, this thing is really delicious, sweet and fragrant!"
Many people like to eat honey, perhaps because honey, besides being sweet, also has a very rich fragrance.
Immediately after, Wang An said to Mu Xueqing and Wang Yi:
"Quick, wife, you go get a few small spoons, Xiao Yi, you go call Xiaomei and Xiaoli to the room, let's eat some first."
As soon as Wang An's voice fell, he heard Mu Xueqing say:
"Why don't we wait for Mom and Dad to come back and eat together."
Hearing this, Wang An was stunned for a moment, mainly because Mu Xueqing's words were indeed correct. Having good things and waiting for the whole family to be together before eating is also a traditional virtue.
But when Wang An saw this ten-plus jin of honey, he said:
"There is so much honey, no need to wait. Besides, this thing is greasy after eating a little, we can't eat much, go get the spoons."
Hearing Wang An say this, the two agreed.
Mu Xueqing walked toward the cupboard, Wang Yi jumped up on the spot, turned around and rushed outside, while Wang An put his head into the basin again and continued to lick the remaining honey.
Soon, Wang Yi led the two little sisters into the room, and Mu Xueqing had already prepared the spoons.
Consequently, these 5 people each took a spoon and dug into the half canned bottle of honey.
With the first bite, everyone had an expression of enjoyment.
Impatiently, they dug the spoon into the honey for the second time, until the third spoon of honey was eaten, Wang An, Wang Yi, and the two little sisters couldn't eat anymore.
Thanks to "Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
Thanks to "Black Brother Niu" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
Wishing the two big brothers, big wealth and small wealth enter every day, smooth sailing and prosperity!
