The man was handsome, from a good family, and generous to her; she was very satisfied.<...
Chapter 419 People Change
A full quarter of an hour passed before Ying Sisi rode away on her bike.
On the way home, he was stopped by a young woman carrying a child on her back.
He is in his early thirties, thin and in good spirits.
"Miss, would you like to buy some fish? Silver carp, fifty cents a pound. At the market, it's seventy or eighty cents, and you need a ticket. Even then, you might not be able to buy anything unless you bid high. Maybe one dollar, one dollar and twenty or three dollars."
Ying Sisi: "Where's the fish?"
"Wait a moment." The woman walked to the nearby woods and pulled out a silver carp as long as her arm. "How is it?"
Ying Sisi observed the fish. The gills were moving, indicating it was not dead. The scales were neatly arranged, indicating no signs of illness. "Not bad. How much does it weigh?"
The woman weighed it in front of Ying Sisi: "Twelve catties and three ounces, that's twelve catties."
"Six dollars for one? That's too expensive and beyond my affordability. If you're willing to sell it for four dollars, I'll buy it." Ying Sisi said.
"Okay, okay." The woman agreed immediately.
Ying Sisi's expression changed. It wouldn't be too little, right?
She weighed it and it was about ten pounds, so the fish was worth buying.
She paid and left, then returned home and handed the fish to Aunt Fang: "Auntie, thank you for your help. I'll braise half of it today and cook the remaining half with garlic sauce tomorrow."
Aunt Fang was startled: "Wow! Where did you buy the fish?! I went to the market early in the morning and lined up for several days but couldn't buy any."
In Ying Sisi's opinion, fish is only in short supply in winter: "I read in the newspaper the other day that the fish produced by our city's aquatic product brigade in a year is enough to supply half of the city.
"Maybe the price is going to go up. Every time the market is short of supply, the price goes up a bit. I remember last summer, grass carp was only 90 cents, and in the winter it went up to 1.2 yuan. It hasn't come down yet. How much did you pay per pound?"
"It was given to me by someone else." Ying Sisi would never say that she bought the fish from a private dealer.
"Who's so generous? In the market, a fish like this sells for at least 60 cents a pound with a ticket." Aunt Fang was envious. Children with better conditions have different friends. A fish this big must be worth at least five or six yuan, right?
Just send it as you say.
She must fight for the college student named Shen for her daughter.
Maybe she could marry into a wealthy family like Si Si.
She eats well and dresses well every day, and her husband loves her. Whenever her parents-in-law have something to say, her son is the first to get angry. Life is so comfortable.
"You wouldn't recognize it even if I told you. I'll be busy now." Ying Sisi put the leaves into the well in the yard to keep them fresh, went back to her room to put the money away, and then lay down on the bed. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door creaked and she jumped up in shock.
Turning his head, Qin Yanci's figure came into view.
Sweating profusely.
The sweaty hair ends stuck to her face, adding a bit of seductive charm.
"Back so early?" he said.
Qin Yanci: "Five thirty is still early?" You don't want to see him so much? He leaned closer to her. Her light green clothes made her look like fresh green buds on spring branches. His wife was so pretty. He said, "Si Si, Uncle Shen is busy tomorrow, so he gave me a day off. Where do you want to go? I'll take you."
God is still fair. They spent less time together last time, but they made up for it this time.
Saturday is Dragon Boat Festival, and I can spend the whole day with her.
"Giving you another day off." Ying Sisi said.
"Isn't it nice to have a holiday?"
"Okay, I have to study in the morning, so I only have the afternoon free. Where should I go on a hot day? Swim in the river?"
Qin Yanci smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what happened last time?"
Ying Sisi still felt a tingling sensation on her scalp when she recalled the time when she accompanied him fishing and fished out the corpse from the river.
When the truth was revealed not long ago, it made the front page of the newspaper.
The woman had just gotten married and was on her way back to her parents' home when she was spotted by an unemployed bachelor. He dragged her into the woods and committed a crime there. In order to cover up the crime, he put the woman in a bag and threw her into a nearby river.
"I finally forgot it, and you actually remembered it for me. What kind of person are you?" She angrily reached out and pinched his arm.
Qin Yanci grabbed her rebellious hand and said gently, "I am your husband, you cannot pinch me."
Ying Sisi snorted: "Who told you to scare me?!"
"I thought you weren't afraid anymore." Qin Yanci stroked her hand, which was soft, white, and tender, like a peeled egg. "Si Si, there's an open-air movie in the square nearby tonight. Do you want to go?"
"There are too many mosquitoes. I don't want to go." Ying Sisi said before changing her tone: "Go ahead." It's a free movie, what a waste not to watch it. She tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly. "Who will feed my dog if we watch a movie tonight?"
Qin Yanci: "I went over at noon to prepare food for them." She actually had a wretched bachelor neighbor.
While he was feeding the dog, the man peeked in through the crack in the door.
"Yanci, Sisi, it's time for dinner." Aunt Fang knocked on the door to remind them.
"Here it comes." Qin Yanci had no choice but to let her go.
Ying Sisi got out of bed, and he squatted down and put his shoes at her feet.
Ying Sisi couldn't help but grin. It was the first time she was served like this. He treated her so well.
He suddenly said, "Si Si, do you believe in being together forever?"
Ying Sisi was confused. What did it mean?
Why are you asking this suddenly?
Has he completely taken over her body, squeezing out the previous Ah Ci? She felt uneasy for no reason. She had spent the most time with the other Ah Ci, and their feelings were the deepest. If he didn't appear again, wouldn't she feel a void in her heart?
Faced with the question from the person in front of her, she thought carefully for a long time and answered: "I believe it, wasn't our grandfather's generation a couple who stayed together for their entire lives?" However, even if Qin Yanci really looked for someone, she had no right to say anything about him. After all, she herself was not devoted to him.
Thinking about this, she added: "But people change. No one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe five years from now, ten years from now, twenty years from now, you will meet a woman who is more attractive to you, and you will fall in love with someone else."
"I won't." Qin Yanci said firmly, then asked, "Do you believe me?"
Ying Sisi just listened, just to cheer herself up. "Maybe it will? Now you can say whatever you want. If I believe your promises about the future, wouldn't I be a fool?" She said, "I believe you. I only want to have breakfast and supper with you."
Next time another Ah Ci asks me, I will say the same thing.
Qin Yanci was coaxed into being happy and bent down to kiss her.
Ying Sisi subconsciously avoided it.
Qin Yanci: "..." Hiding from him again! "Dislike me?"
"It's broad daylight, what if someone sees us? Have you forgotten what Aunt Jin told me?" Ying Sisi was still angry when she mentioned this.
Fortunately, the rumor was debunked in time, otherwise her reputation would have been completely ruined.
Qin Yanci naturally did not forget about Aunt Jin's incident. What happened later?
There was no mention of that in the hot-tempered message.
He didn't dare ask.
"Okay, my bad. I didn't think it through." He walked to the door and slowed down to wait for her.
When Ying Sisi heard this, she felt guilty. The door was closed, so who could have seen it?
