The moment before, he was still saying that he "had to stay at home", "had to raise three children", and "couldn't spend money carelessly".
But this moment.
But she was damn attracted by a bicycle!
I really want it...
Qiao Anle felt conflicted and hesitant, and was extremely distressed by her fickle nature.
Just at this moment.
Li Fengbei's voice came with a smile.
He asked, "Wife, I want a bicycle, can you buy it for me?"
The man had already seen through Qiao Anle's thoughts.
Especially when I saw her little face was twisted into a ball, she was reluctant to leave but at the same time her heart was so moved, like a cute little rabbit.
It makes people want to kiss her and rub her head.
Li Fengbei saw through it but didn't say it out loud.
He defended Qiao Anle's face and said that he wanted a bicycle.
Qiao Anle was still hesitant. "Bicycles are expensive. They cost a lot of money."
Li Fengbei said, "I may need to come to the county town occasionally for meetings in the second half of the year, and I won't be able to hitchhike every time. With a bicycle, it will be much more convenient. And we can also visit the county town often."
Qiao Anle's inner compromise is 70%.
She blinked, "So...buy?"
Li Fengbei said firmly, "Okay, I'll listen to you and buy it!"
Qiao Anle's inner compromise is 100%.
Li Fengbei said to the salesperson, "We have the bicycle tickets and money. Please keep an eye on them for us. We'll come back this afternoon."
The salesperson smiled brightly. "No problem. I get along so well with you guys, I'll definitely keep the bike for you!"
Since I had to go to the cooperative in the afternoon, I decided to leave the things I bought before at the cooperative and pick them up in the afternoon.
…
After leaving the cooperative and walking a few intersections, you will reach the state-owned restaurant.
The front of the state-owned restaurant is decorated in green, with a small blackboard hanging on it, on which are written today's meals and prices.
Among them, there are a few large words: Braised Pork Belly!
Eating meat is quite a luxury these days.
For many families, the only time they have meat on their dinner table is during the Chinese New Year.
Qiao Anle can be said to have enjoyed today's meal very much.
Li Fengbei ordered three dishes: one braised pork belly, one pan-fried tofu, and one egg custard.
The braised tofu is red in color and wrapped in a shiny sauce that makes you salivate at the sight.
The fried tofu is made with the most authentic old tofu and the sweet and sour sauce, which has a salty taste with a hint of sour and sweet, very refreshing. It is also sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onions, making it look even more tempting.
Needless to say, egg custard.
Bright yellow, smooth and tender.
When a spoonful is put into the mouth, it flows over the tip of the tongue and slides directly into the throat.
Qiao Anle had been eating wild vegetables and pickles for several days. As soon as he sat down, he felt very hungry and started to eat heartily.
After a while.
Her lips were shining from eating so much.
"This pork belly is so flavorful! I can eat half a bowl of rice with this broth, so hurry up and eat!"
Pa, she put a piece of red pork belly into Li Fengbei's bowl.
"This tofu is delicious too! It has a rich tofu flavor, unlike some tofu that has no tofu flavor at all. It's really delicious, you should try it."
With a snap, another chopstick was picked up and put into Li Fengbei's bowl.
"The egg custard is delicious too, so tender... Don't just watch me eat it, try some too."
This time.
Qiao Anle used her spoon to scoop a spoonful of yellow egg custard and fed it directly to Li Fengbei's mouth.
Natural and intimate.
Li Fengbei opened his mouth, took the spoon that Qiao Anle had used, and ate the egg custard.
There was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Nod slightly.
"Mm, the egg custard is delicious and tender."
Qiao Anle was so engrossed in her eating that she didn't notice the man's ambiguous look.
Instead, he ate several mouthfuls of egg custard.
…
When they came out of the state-owned restaurant, Qiao Anle's belly was already slightly bulging from eating so much.
She licked the corner of her mouth, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
"Li Fengbei, where are we going next? Should we go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and wait?"
"Let's not go to the supply and marketing cooperative yet. The goods don't arrive that quickly there. You have somewhere else you want to go? I'll take you there."
Is there another place?
Qiao Anle couldn't even remember where she mentioned.
As Li Fengbei led her into the alley, they turned a few corners, just like walking in a maze, and kept turning in the alley.
"I've never been here before. I heard about it from the grain station manager. It should be right here. I have a good sense of direction, so I won't be wrong."
The man looked at the road with a burning gaze and spoke meticulously.
Qiao Anle had already remembered it by now.
It's the black market.
When she heard that she could come to the county town, she mentioned three places: the supply and marketing cooperative, the state-owned restaurant, and the last one was the black market.
Li Fengbei took her to the first two.
I didn’t expect that Li Fengbei also remembered the last one.
And I asked my friends for the news early on.
They walked through countless alleys, and everything around them looked the same, but gradually, more and more people passed by them.
In some corners of the alley, there are people wearing headscarves or hats that cover half of their faces, with bamboo baskets in their arms.
They're here!
This is the black market, for sure.
The reason why the black market is called a black market is that it is not a market in the true sense of the word.
