The score just came out, so it's low.
The night before Chen Yifei was to get married, he found himself lying on the same kang with He Runqing, an educated youth who was about to return to...
Chen Shuang pulled her aside: "What are you trying to say? Right now, our family is the one being attacked. We have no evidence to support these claims, so we have to swallow this bitter pill."
Chen Yifei nodded: "That's right."
"So we shouldn't apologize or settle scores. Once the quota is set, we'll have to move out of the village by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"So Zheng Fang will definitely take action! Let's see who will be embarrassed then."
Seeing him like this, Chen Shuang and Chen Xue were very relieved, finally seeing their younger brother get out of Zheng Fang's trap.
Otherwise, if Zheng Fang really marries into the family, I don't know what will happen to the household.
Everyone thought Zheng Fang was no good, but Chen Yifei just loved her! He always gave her the best, and she was completely taken advantage of.
Chen Xue still found it unbelievable: "You're so smart, you don't seem like Chen Yifei at all! Tell me, who are you, come out of my brother's body!"
Chen Yifei mimicked Chen Xue's tone: "I'm your brother."
Seeing his cheeky expression, Chen Xue reached out to hit her younger brother. But Chen Yifei was now standing very tall and easily hit his older sister on the head!
Chen Xue: "...Damn it, Chen Yifei, you're finished. I'll make you die!"
"Hitting me will stunt your growth!"
Seeing the noisy commotion, Chen Jianguo's expression softened considerably.
Then, he quietly wrapped the money he had kept at the bottom of his trunk, which was in a biscuit box, in layers of cloth.
He took it out and counted it; his total savings were ninety yuan, plus two precious meat coupons.
The two elders exchanged a glance, then took everything out and handed it to Chen Yifei.
"Come here," Chen Jianguo called out. Chen Yifei went over, saw the money, and immediately refused.
"Dad, I don't want to. I said I'll get married on my own. I'll prepare things for He Runqing."
Chen Jianguo frowned: "You yourself, what can you do?"
"I plan to set up a street stall in the next few days and sell things. Keep your money; the whole family is here for my wedding. I told you, I can support myself and I can take care of you!"
Although these words were touching, no one in the family thought they were reliable.
Chen's mother, Zhang Cuizhi, said earnestly, "Xiaofei."
"You said you wanted to marry her, and you wanted the 'three turns and one sound'—that is, a watch, a bicycle, a radio, and a sewing machine."
“We can’t afford all these things with all our savings; we can only afford a watch.”
"You...earn it yourself?" She knew all too well what kind of person her son was.
"Are you going to steal or rob someone?"
"No, I plan to set up a stall to make money."
The market has opened up a bit now. He remembers that the first group of people who set up stalls to sell things in 1980 became the first households with ten thousand yuan in income.
He naturally didn't want to fall behind, so he always needed to have a skill to make a living. Staying idle at home all the time wouldn't do.
The newspapers have already published news saying that individual vendors are allowed to set up stalls, but people in rural areas are isolated from information and have no idea about this.
The whole family was stunned when they heard Chen Yifei say that.
Chen Yifei remained calm.
He said, "You'll find out when the time comes. I'll go to the market tomorrow."
"By the way, Second Sister, keep an eye on He Runqing while you're working, because I'm afraid someone will gossip about her."
Chen Xue nodded blankly.
Chen Yifei has truly changed his ways...
However, setting up a stall or going to the city are things that his family has no access to at all, so they can't give him any advice.
He didn't want the family's money, and it wasn't easy to stop him.
Just as he was thinking that he didn't want the family's money and was going to squander it, Chen Yifei, who had already entered the house, immediately came out: "Um, Dad, give me five yuan."
"I don't have a single penny left. My pockets are emptier than my face."
"As start-up capital for setting up a stall."
Looking at his relaxed demeanor, is he not in a hurry to set up a stall? Is he not making any preparations? He hasn't even said what he wants to sell?
This... is obviously just a freeloader.
Chen Jianguo handed him five yuan: "I won't give you any money this month! Spend it as you see fit."
"Don't mess around."
Chen Xue sighed and said, "They must be going to the county town to do some shady business, and their cronies will be wandering around everywhere."
"Five yuan is such a large sum, how long can it feed our family!"
They're still so immature, so utterly immature!
No one believed he could make money; they just thought he was getting more and more creative.
The next day, Chen Yifei borrowed Wang Hu's bicycle from next door. Wang Hu treasured it so much that he was reluctant to lend it to him, fearing that Chen Yifei would break it.
Chen Yifei mounted the bicycle, and apart from the bell on the handlebars not ringing, every part of the bicycle was making a "ding-a-ling" sound.
Not a single good part of it!
As soon as Chen Yifei sat down on the cushion, it started creaking and groaning, as if it could shake him off at any moment.
"Your car is no good!" He looked at Wang Hu with some disdain.
Wang Hu pinched it like a precious treasure: "Then Fei-ge, don't ride it! You're going to the city to pick up rich guys, and you're not taking me with you."
"Go away! I'm going to the city to take care of some important business."
"Besides, with your size, your car would be totaled if you got on."
This is no joke.
This car looks older than him.
He needs to check the current market situation and decide what's suitable to sell.
After all, I've been reborn, and the current situation is still unfamiliar to me. It can't hurt to learn more.
Without saying much, he rode off on his bicycle.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, she spotted a familiar figure and immediately recognized the two girls.
A gentle breeze ruffled He Runqing's bangs, revealing her smooth forehead and gentle, willow-leaf eyebrows. She was talking to another female educated youth next to her, occasionally smiling with her eyes crinkling.
Chen Yifei slammed on the brakes and stopped right in front of He Runqing.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, He Runqing was initially surprised, but then her face turned red.
Chen Yifei thought she was beautiful, and he found her very interesting every time he saw her, her cheeks flushed.
"Comrade He Runqing! What a coincidence." Chen Yifei didn't try to get close to him; he just gave a simple greeting and then thought about leaving.
At this moment, He Runqing's soft, sweet voice came: "Where...where are you going?" Her voice was very soft and gentle.
It's as tiny as a mosquito.
"I'm going to the county town to see if I can start a business!"
He had a smile on his face. He was only twenty years old. Chen Yifei sat on his old bicycle. Although his clothes were faded from washing, they still made him look energetic.
He Runqing didn't know what to say, but she couldn't just watch him leave like that, so she wanted to say a few more words to him.
Then, slowly, she took out a White Rabbit milk candy from her pocket and handed it to him: "Here, have this."
Her eyes were big and she looked a little nervous. Looking at him like that, she looked more and more like a little white rabbit.
Looking at He Runqing's soft, white hands and her cautious tone, Chen Yifei naturally accepted.
"Yes, it looks a lot like you."
Such a well-behaved girl, the more I look at her, the more I feel that she is especially suitable to be my wife!
And that fair, slightly chubby oval face, it seems like she doesn't have an ounce of extra fat, and all the flesh on her body is just right.
She was so well-behaved that he really wanted to reach out and pinch her cheek.
