Chapter 28 Contrast
Clothes and shoes for the two brothers and Yaya cost nearly 40 yuan, and colorful hair bands could be bought for two cents a bundle.

Li Luo went to the stationery store again and bought a pencil case with multiplication tables on it. Surprisingly, Li Luo also saw a mechanical pencil on the shelf.

At that time, mechanical pencils were more expensive than a pound of cabbage, and they cost one dollar each! But Li Luo was not reluctant to part with them, because things for children were naturally better.

She had seen Da Mao and Xiao Mao writing, and they were still using pencils with only the end left. When Da Mao was helping Xiao Mao sharpen the pencil, he cut his hand. Although the wound was not deep, Li Luo still remembered it.

Xiao Mao always likes to bite the tip of pencils. If the lead gets into his mouth, he will become stupid. If he changes to this mechanical pencil, this problem will not occur.

You might as well replace your schoolbag with a new one. Wearing a cross-body bag will easily cause your shoulders to be uneven, but a backpack does not have this problem.

Nutrition also needs to be taken care of. Yaya is already two years old, but her hair is still dry and yellow. It is obvious that it is caused by long-term malnutrition.

Buy better milk powder, and some calcium tablets and zinc supplement oral solution.

The big Mao and the small Mao can eat together. The big Mao gives all the delicious food to the small Mao, so the small Mao is stronger than the big Mao.

There were a lot of things bought at once, but the big schoolbag could hold almost all of what Li Luo bought, which saved Li Luo a lot of trouble.

He hadn't eaten for a long time. By the time Li Luo ran to the station and had some free time, his stomach was already rumbling. There happened to be a stall selling wontons nearby, so he simply sat down with Yaya and had a bowl of hot wontons, which cost only 20 cents.

Although the wontons were small, the meat filling was firm and full, and tasted much better than the wontons Li Luo had eaten in the store before. The boss looked at Li Luo and the child, and considerately put some more dried shrimp in the soup.

The seaweed at the bottom of the bowl floated up and was sprinkled with chopped green onions and sesame oil. Li Luo ate while Yaya fed him. Yaya even blew air into Li Luo with her little mouth to make the wontons less hot.

That cute little look made Li Luo couldn't help but smile.

It just so happened that Qi Liancheng had the driver take him to a stop near the station, and he saw Li Luo, holding the child, eating heartily.

“Heh, when did we end up having to eat wontons from street vendors?” Qi Liancheng said disdainfully while sitting in the car.

"I often eat wontons from this restaurant, they taste good." The driver followed Qi Liancheng's line of sight and saw the woman that the eldest lady brought with her today - Li Luo.

He had heard about Li Luo's life story. He was kicked out of the Li family and sold by his biological parents. It was really miserable! Today, he gave his job to the young lady. He is really a beautiful and kind person!

"Did I ask you?" Qi Liancheng said unhappily, "Drive your car properly and don't park here to attract attention."

"I think Li Luo is deliberately trying to attract my attention. She knows I will come to the station, so she is waiting for me here." Qi Liancheng said to himself, "Does she think that I will feel sorry for her just because she pretends to be pitiful?"

"I really don't know what means she used to try every possible means to find out my whereabouts and even wait for me here!"

The driver was stunned: "Master, what are you talking about? Miss Li Luo didn't seem to see you."

There were so many people coming and going at the station, and there were also quite a few people at the wonton stall. Could it be that they were all waiting for the young master? It seemed that the young master had some prejudice against Miss Li Luo.

"Impossible!" Reason told Qi Liancheng that Li Luo did not seem to see him, but his heart was shouting that Li Luo was deliberately pretending not to see him, just to play hard to get!

What a good trick. Is she satisfied now? She has successfully attracted his attention. What next?
The driver saw Qi Liancheng's gloomy face and didn't dare to say anything more. Qi Liancheng was already on the verge of getting angry at this time. He didn't want to lose his job yet, so he quickly drove away from this troubled place. Qi Liancheng still looked back and found that Li Luo had eaten the wontons wholeheartedly and got on a car without even turning his head.

Qi Liancheng pressed his eyebrows. No, this shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't she run after his car and shout his name loudly? Why did she become so indifferent now?

Even the people passing by couldn't help but glance over here, so why was she so indifferent? Qi Liancheng couldn't understand.

"Master, is it because Miss Li is married that she wants to keep her distance from you? After all, there is no relationship between you two anymore. If you keep on pushing and pulling, won't it ruin Miss Li and your reputation?"

Qi Liancheng's face was so dark that ink seemed to drip out of it. He seemed to feel that something was out of his control. He didn't know why he cared about a woman whom he would never even look at.

……

After shaking for nearly two hours, when he got home, Li Luo felt as if he was stepping on cotton. He finally returned to Wanlong Village.

"Hey, isn't this the daughter-in-law of the Ling family? She's only been here for a few days, but she's already running to the city, and she's carrying so many things. Isn't this her own money? She can spend it without any burden in her heart."

"If you also work in the fields, you will know how hard it is to make money! Although Xiao Ling makes money quickly, he can't stop you from spending it lavishly!"

A rural woman wearing a flowery scarf on her head glanced at Li Luo with her hands behind her back, her words revealing undisguised sourness.

"If you ask me, you can't marry a woman from the city. We should go with women from the countryside. They know how to live and how to save money."

"Auntie, did I spend your money? Or did I spend your son's money? Why are you so eager to meddle in other people's family affairs? Besides, how do you know that the money I spent was not mine?"

"I work in a textile factory in the city. The money I earn is enough to support my family. What's the problem with buying some things to supplement the family? If you are angry, why don't you ask your wife to buy it for you? Oh, maybe you don't have a wife yet."

Li Luo's vicious attack made the woman, who was originally very proud, suddenly feel like she had eaten a fly and was speechless.

The textile factories in the city? The regular workers there have stable jobs. They are paid by the government and never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. And look at the clothes they wear. They are much better looking than theirs.

The people coming from this city are different. Not only are they good at talking, they are also good at making money. They are much more useful than her daughter and son.

Her son still hasn't found a wife, and the bride price is 800 yuan, plus three taels of silver. They are honest farmers, so how can they have so much spare money to marry a girl and support her?

"Tiedan's family, you can't even take care of your own children, how can you meddle in other people's affairs? They have money and can spend it however they want."

"If you are still angry, let your son fight for his pride and make money so you can enjoy life!" Someone nearby came to the rescue of Li Luo.

The woman curled her lips, but she was still angry. When she passed by Wang Xiumei's house, she saw Wang Xiumei at home and immediately shouted as if she had found an outlet to vent her anger: "Aunt Wang, you're home."

Wang Xiumei was still wondering in her heart. Li Luo was too busy taking care of three children, and she would definitely need her help when the time came. It was time to pay salaries in the next two days, so she had to urge Ling Zhuoqun.
