Jiang Sui knew what she was going to do, but he didn't really want to go with her.
He just wanted to tease Xiang Baiwei.
"I'll take you there on my bike! I'm afraid you'll come back too late and run into robbers on the road. These days, there are people who don't have enough food everywhere. It's not peaceful."
Hearing these kind words, Xiang Baiwei felt extremely embarrassed.
You can't go with him.
But the other person means well, and if I refuse too bluntly, it would be a bit ungrateful.
What reason should I come up with to fool him?
Jiang Sui, who was standing next to him, packed his things slowly and methodically, waiting for Bai Wei to come up with a good excuse.
After waiting for a while, Xiang Baiwei asked with an embarrassed look: "Are you going to town for something tomorrow? If you are, I will return the bicycle to you and I can find a way to go to town by myself."
In this case, I guess I can’t think of any suitable excuse.
Jiang Sui smiled and didn't intend to embarrass her any further: "It's okay, you can use it. I'll be busy at school tomorrow, and I might go to town. I can't say for sure."
Seeing that he had no intention of following her, Xiang Bai Wei felt relieved and quickly went to the kitchen to get some rice, fearing that if she was a step late, Jiang Sui would change his mind.
Behind him, Jiang Sui looked at her running away in panic and smiled helplessly.
At the same time, he also made up his mind that he would borrow a bicycle tomorrow and follow Xiang Baiwei.
The reason was simple: the weather was cold, it got dark early, Xiang Baiwei came back late, and the road was too dangerous. Jiang Sui was still worried after all.
The next afternoon.
Xiang Baiwei watched the sun getting lower and lower, and rode her bike along the road towards the town.
When they arrived in the town, Xiang Baiwei parked her bicycle at the home of a relative she was fairly familiar with, and then followed the path to the place where she had an appointment with the man.
Before arriving at the place, he looked at Bai Wei's things, hid them in a pile of dried corn stalks, then entered the space there, took out the clothes he had prepared in advance, and dressed up.
After everything was packed up, Xiang Baiwei came to the spot she had chosen earlier.
This place is about three hundred meters away from the alley where transactions are conducted.
The alley itself was close to the edge of the village and was sparsely populated, and the place that Bai Wei chose was even more remote.
Taking advantage of the dusk and the cover of various firewoods, she pulled out several large baskets of fish that had been caught from the space, placed them in the corner, and hid them with a pile of hay.
Then, he turned around and went to the alley to find the man who had cooperated with him.
At the entrance of the alley, two men were leaning against the wall, talking with their hands behind their backs.
One of them saw Xiang Baiwei from a distance and ran over quickly: "Where is the thing I want?"
Xiang Baiwei looked at the companions following behind him and was alert: "Why did you bring someone else?"
The man smiled helplessly: "Girl, don't you know how many fish there are? Do you think I can carry them all by myself?"
"That's right. Then come with me. I've hidden the things over there."
Xiang Baiwei kept a distance from the man and went to the place where she hid the fish.
"I have to check the fish first. I'm afraid you might be selling inferior fish as good ones."
The man took out the handkerchief containing the money, held it in his hand, and did not give it to Xiang Baiwei.
Xiang Baiwei nodded, agreeing with him, and led him to the place where the fish were placed, lifting the grass on top: "They are all here. These baskets are all filled with four catties of fish, and those baskets are all over five catties, almost six catties. Since you want a lot at one time, I'll charge you five catties. You should know that there are no fish weighing less than five catties."
The man picked up a fish and weighed it in his hand, then asked Xiang Baiwei: "How many fish are there in these baskets?"
"These baskets are all four catties, with a total of 120 fish. The other baskets are all five catties, with a total of 80 fish." He pointed at Bai Weiguang but did not touch him, for fear of getting the fishy smell on them.
"What a coincidence? All integers?" the man asked casually.
"Oh, you said you wanted 200, so I'll just make it up for you. I still have some in the pond, but I plan to give those to relatives and friends, so I won't sell them." Xiang Baiwei said, and then she spread out her palm again, "The total is 352 yuan, pay up."
The man opened his handkerchief, revealing a few big unity notes and a small stack of change inside: "Three hundred and fifty, wipe out the two dollars in change."
If it's later, you don't have to worry about the two dollars.
But now, in an era where one dollar can buy a lot of things, Xiang Baiwei is certainly not happy to round off: "Many of the fish here are over four or five kilograms. I will calculate with you in round numbers, which is already rounding off for you. If you continue to bargain, then this business will be meaningless."
The man looked at the baskets of fish and said, "All these fish have been caught here. If you don't do business with me, it will be troublesome to take them back, right?"
With the space in hand, Xiang Baiwei didn't feel any trouble and smiled: "I have been stubborn since I was a child. When I get angry, I would rather lose everything than be angry."
Xiang Baiwei knew that this man wanted to deliberately lower the price, so she didn't want to cooperate with him.
"Girl, you have such a bad temper. Forget it. You have already given me a lot of benefits. It is really unreasonable for me to continue like this."
The man took out three hundred and fifty-two yuan and gave it to Xiang Baiwei, "Check the money."
Xiang Baiwei took the money, counted it, and after making sure there was no problem, turned around and left.
Somehow the man behind him called two more companions, and they put a few baskets of fish on the cart, pushed it together, and disappeared into the night.
On the other side, Xiang Baiwei took the money she had just received and hurried to her relative's house where the bicycle was kept.
Just after turning a corner, a shout suddenly rang out, and Xiang Baiwei was stopped by several patrol officers: "Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
Xiang Baiwei's heart tightened. Just as she was about to speak, there was a sound of a bicycle behind her. Jiang Sui appeared behind her like a drop from the sky: "Wait a minute, this is my wife. We are together."
How did he end up here?
Xiang Baiwei was still confused. The man who blocked her way looked at Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui and asked, "Which village are you from? It's so late, why haven't you gone home yet? Did you come from the alley in the east just now?"
Oh no, has he been targeted?
"We are from Xiangjia Village. We are here to visit relatives. We were just about to leave when it was dark and the moon hadn't risen yet. We couldn't see the road clearly, so my wife came down to find the way."
Jiang Sui subconsciously protected Xiang Baiwei behind him.
The leading man didn't seem to want to let them go so easily: "Your wife's dress and voice are quite different, could it be..."
There is a new picture, the book review area has been updated! It is Jiang Jiang Weiwei's kissing picture!
