Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Inexplicable

Jiang Xi hesitated and opened his mouth: "Well, Yu, Comrade Yu An."

Jiang Xi felt a little annoyed after saying this. He must have been thinking too much and was confused, otherwise why would he stutter even when saying a simple name.

Qi Yu'an raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not force Jiang Xi. He could not bear to see Jiang Xi embarrassed: "I'll help you push the bike." After that, he walked to the yard with his long legs.

Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief and followed Qi Yu'an closely.

Qi Yuan's bicycle was placed in the corner of the yard, washed clean and looked like new.

Jiang Xi looked at the shiny bicycle and confirmed, "I'm not sure how long I'll have to borrow it for. Do you need it during this period?"

Qi Yu'an handed the car to Jiang Xi and said, "You can borrow it for as long as you want. I won't be using it for the time being, so don't feel burdened."

Jiang Xi took the bicycle and promised, "Thank you. I will make a new one as soon as possible and return the bicycle to you as soon as possible."

Qi Yu'an didn't agree, but instead offered a suggestion: "If you want to run a business, a tricycle is more suitable. It can transport more things, saves effort, and is also convenient to use."

Jiang Xi had also thought about this problem before, but tricycles were harder to buy than bicycles. There were none in the entire county. Besides, she didn't have any extra money to buy a bicycle, let alone a tricycle.

Jiang Xi said with a frustrated tone, "A tricycle is definitely better than other cars, but I can't afford it right now."

Qi Yu'an lowered his eyes and thought, "Next time I'll ask for you. It shouldn't be as expensive as you think. Besides, a tricycle can be used for many years. If you want to continue your business, a tricycle will be very convenient."

Jiang Xi hastily refused: "Don't bother, I'll ask myself later, you can just focus on your studies, you have your own things to do, I can't always come to you for help."

Qi Yu'an sighed softly upon hearing this, his tone carrying some grievance: "It seems that Comrade Jiang doesn't consider me a friend yet. Didn't we agree to be friends? There's no such thing as trouble between friends. I'm happy to help you. Comrade Jiang, can't you just give me this chance?"

Qi Yu'an's eyes were bright, and they were watery when she looked a little aggrieved. The corners of her eyes drooped slightly, making it impossible for people to say no. Jiang Xi explained in a hurry: "It's not like that. I just don't want to trouble you."

Qi Yu'an twitched his lips, his eyes darkening, and he even looked a little pitiful. Jiang Xi felt a little helpless and had to say, "Then please ask for me."

The dark color in Qi Yu'an's eyes disappeared instantly, and he smiled brightly at Jiang Xi: "Leave this matter to me. If you have similar problems in the future, you can ask directly. I am happy to help you. Please never forget this, Comrade Jiang."

Qi Yu'an deliberately dragged out the words "Comrade Jiang". Jiang Xi's ears were getting hotter and hotter. He pushed his bicycle and ran out: "I'm leaving first, Comrade Qi, goodbye!"

Qi Yuan's mouth corners curled up, Comrade Jiang is so cute.

As Jiang Xi pushed his bicycle out of the door, he saw Ye Guixiang. Ye Guixiang stared at Jiang Xi and the bicycle in her hand, her eyes almost spitting fire.

"Jiang Xi, why did you take Comrade Qi Yu'an's bicycle?"

It was she who was sarcastic last time. Jiang Xi and Ye Guixiang had no connection and he didn't want to answer her inexplicable questions. Jiang Xi glanced at Ye Guixiang indifferently and walked out pushing the cart.

Ye Guixiang shouted anxiously, "Are you a thief? Come and catch the thief! Someone is trying to steal Comrade Qi Yuan's car!"

Qi Yu'an heard Ye Guixiang's shout before he even entered the room. He walked out quickly and saw Jiang Xi who was stopped and Ye Guixiang with a slightly distorted face.

Qi Yu'an stepped forward to explain: "Comrade Ye, you are mistaken. I lent the bicycle to Jiang Xi. Please don't misunderstand her. Comrade Jiang is a good person and an honest person. She would never do such a thing."

Ye Guixiang didn't expect Qi Yu'an to take the initiative to explain, and even said a bunch of good things about Jiang Xi. Ye Guixiang's expression changed again and again, and finally she softened her tone: "Comrade Qi, I know you are a kind person, so you are always willing to help others. Are you afraid that Comrade Jiang will embarrass herself, so you deliberately speak up for her?"

Qi Yu'an didn't hesitate at all: "Comrade Ye, what happened to you today? I have already explained the details very clearly. Please let go of my bicycle."

Ye Guixiang couldn't believe it: "Comrade Qi, we have known each other for such a long time, and you have never said a harsh word to me. Today, because of her, you actually said such words. I don't believe you would lend her the bicycle. It is obvious that she stole it. Comrade Qi, don't favor her because of your soft heart."

Qi Yu'an was unusually impatient. He and Ye Guixiang had very few interactions, so why hadn't he noticed before that Ye Guixiang liked to talk to herself and couldn't understand what others were saying?

Ye Guixiang still insisted: "Comrade Qi, why did you lend her your bicycle?"

Qi Yu'an's expression turned cold. "Comrade Ye, the bicycle is mine. I can lend it to anyone I want. I don't need to explain the reason to you. Please let go of my bicycle."

Qi Yu'an's cold expression and distant words brought Ye Guixiang back to her senses. She let go of her hand and looked at Qi Yu'an with some resentment.

Qi Yu'an didn't pay attention to Ye Guixiang. He smiled apologetically at Jiang Xi and said, "I'm sorry for delaying your work. You should go back quickly. You still have work to do tomorrow. Go to bed early and take care of yourself."

Jiang Xi nodded. Ye Guixiang's eyes made her feel very uncomfortable. This sudden incident also made Jiang Xi feel that Ye Guixiang might have lost her mind. She shook her head. She had encountered too many psychopaths recently.

Jiang Xi had no intention of arguing with Ye Guixiang. She still had a lot of things to do, so she pushed her bicycle and left the Youth League Home.

After Jiang Xi left, Qi Yu'an's expression turned cold. His tone was more distant than ever before, even carrying a hint of warning: "Comrade Ye, I don't know why you did this today, but I would like to ask you not to cause trouble for Jiang Xi in the future, and not to make random speculations that would damage Comrade Jiang Xi's reputation."

Ye Guixiang suddenly looked up. Qi Yu'an used to be very friendly and never hesitated to help others. He was a very easy person to get along with and never said a harsh word to anyone. But now he warned her like this for Jiang Xi.

"Comrade Qi, you are so cruel to me? Why do you treat me like this?"

Ye Guixiang's eyes were filled with resentment and a hint of resentment: "You are not the same as before? Comrade Qi, you have changed."

Qi Yu'an's lips pursed into a rare straight line. "Comrade Ye, I don't think our relationship has reached the point where we can discuss this kind of topic. I've said everything I wanted to say. If there's nothing essential in the future, there's no need for us to have any more interactions."

Ye Guixiang's eyes were red: "You want to break up with me for her? Why would you do this?"

Qi Yu'an... He was unusually helpless and couldn't explain it to Ye Guixiang at all.

If it weren't for his good upbringing, Qi Yu'an really wanted to run away. He looked at Ye Guixiang as if she were a psychopath: "I've said everything I need to say. Comrade Ye, please make way."

Ye Guixiang didn't get a response. She watched Qi Yu'an walk past her. Her expression became increasingly gloomy, and the paranoia in her eyes could not be concealed.

The bicycle soon came in handy.

Jiang Xi and Xie Xiaoju pushed a cart together with two jars of fermented brine tied to the cart. It was the first day of doing business in the new place, so Jiang Xi was very cautious and did not bring too many things at once.

Her family’s pickled mustard is made and sold immediately, otherwise it will be wasted if it cannot be sold.

In the past, what she longed for most was the homemade fermented brine. Now they make it every day, and they also try new flavors from time to time. Jiang Xi can hardly stand it. It turns out that she can't eat anything that is sold to her. After all, she is tired of eating delicacies from land and sea every day.

Xie Xiaoju was very excited along the way. She got up early and waited at Jiang Xi's door. "Jiang Xi, how should I sell the goods later? This is my first time doing business. I don't know what to say. You have to teach me later. I can't let you down."

Xie Xiaoju had a lot to say: "Jiang Xi, are my clothes clean today? Will others think I'm sloppy and not want to buy from me?"

"When I meet an older woman later, should I call her sister or auntie?"

Xie Xiaoju chattered a lot, looking forward to her upcoming working life.

Jiang Xi shook his head in amusement: "It's okay, I'm here. You can learn from me first. Selling things is actually very simple. It's not as difficult as you think. Once you get used to it, it will be fine."

Jiang Xi used Wu Youli as an example: "Look, my uncle used to be very quiet, but since he started selling things on the street, he's become very talkative. Now he can set up a stall at the steel factory by himself, and he's doing very well."

Xie Xiaoju trusts Jiang Xi very much, and Wu Youli has indeed changed a lot. He used to want to walk close to the wall in the village, but since Wu Youli went out to set up a stall, he seems like a different person.

The last time they met, Wu Youli even greeted her, which would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

Xie Xiaoju smiled broadly: "I'm not afraid anymore once you tell me that. I'll definitely follow you and work hard. But Uncle Wu is going to the steel factory to set up a stall, so where should we go?"

Jiang Xi had already thought of a place. In addition to the steel plant, there was also a cinema in the county town. The cinema showed one movie every day on weekdays and two movies every day on holidays.

People who go to the movies have some spare money and are happy to buy some things to go into the theater to watch the movie.

Unlike setting up a stall in front of the steel plant, Jiang Xi took into consideration that most of the people watching the movie were dating men and women, and there were also many lesbians.

For the workers in the steel plant, braised chicken is more to their taste, but for many lesbians, braised chicken feet are their favorite.

Taking into account the different preferences of shoppers, Jiang Xite brought some braised chicken feet.

Chicken feet are like snacks, they don’t take up too much space in your stomach, and you can eat them while watching a movie.
