After Qiao Anle and Li Fengbei came out of the alley.
Just follow the original route, walk back to the alley, and then continue to turn a few times to get out.
When I finally left the corner of the black market.
Qiao Anle passed by an older middle-aged woman.
A moment.
She heard a series of noisy, continuous chirping sounds.
The voice came from a middle-aged woman.
Qiao Anle's ears moved and he stopped suddenly.
Her eyes looked at the bamboo basket in the middle-aged woman's hand.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman smiled on her dark face and greeted Qiao Anle.
"Little wife, come and take a look. They are all raised by us at home, and the price is cheap."
As the towel covering the bamboo basket was lifted, the chirping sound instantly became louder.
What was in the bamboo basket was a group of furry little chicks.
The chicks were about four or five days old, and their fur was still sparse and a light yellow.
But it has strong vitality, squeezing around in the bamboo basket and spinning around non-stop.
The chicks were crowded together, and at a glance there were about a dozen of them.
The middle-aged woman said, "They were all hatched by our old hens. Keeping them at home is a waste of food, so I wanted to sell them. They're really not expensive, why don't you pick a few and take them home?"
Qiao Anle was moved.
Because she suddenly had an idea.
If you raise chickens at home, they will lay eggs when they grow up.
The eggs she kept in the Lingbao space could then be placed openly in her small kitchen at home.
No need to feed it to the three kids secretly.
You can also make fragrant and smooth egg custard for Li Fengbei.
Qiao Anle said, "I want all these chicks, and your bamboo basket too. Auntie, how much do you want? Just tell me the price."
The middle-aged woman ate a pound of it. She obviously didn't expect Qiao Anle to be so generous and actually took it all in one breath.
She was overjoyed and said hurriedly.
"Can you give me some food coupons? My old man has bad teeth and can't eat steamed bread. I came out to exchange some food coupons so I can buy rice and make porridge for him. Just... two kilograms of food coupons will be enough. The bamboo basket is free, it's a gift from me."
After hearing this, Qiao Anle turned around and took two kilograms of food coupons from Li Fengbei and handed them to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman took the food coupons with her dry hands, kept saying thank you to Qiao Anle, and carefully put the coupons into her arms, holding them like treasures.
Qiao Anle reached out and touched the little chicks, which felt furry.
She said to Li Fengbei, "When these little ones grow up, we can eat egg custard at home."
Li Fengbei nodded, "Okay, I'll eat it every day from now on."
The two smiled at each other.
Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bicycle.
…
There is always a big tree at the entrance of every small mountain village.
There are always groups of people sitting under the trees, chatting and talking.
From morning to evening, the chattering women turned into men resting and drinking tea.
Just like such an ordinary day.
But an ordinary thing happened.
Gurgle, gurgle.
It sounded like something rolling on the gravel road.
It attracted attention at first.
But after a while, it caused the people around to open their eyes wide.
"Old Man Sun, did you see that? What was that thing just now? Why was it swirling around in circles and just passed by like that?"
"It's a bicycle! It must be a bicycle! Look at those two big wheels. I've seen bicycles like this in the county town."
"So this is what you're talking about, a bicycle? I've lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I've seen one! It doesn't look very big, how could anyone sit on it? It looks like... there are two people sitting on it?"
"That was Captain Li who just passed by! Captain Li is truly amazing! He's the first person in our village to own a bicycle!"
"That bicycle you're talking about must be very expensive, right? How much does that thing cost?"
"How much? Even if I sell your old bones and your daughter, I'm afraid it still wouldn't be enough to buy a bicycle."
"Oh my god, it looks like just a few wheels, why are they so expensive?!..."
The men's discussions became more and more lively, one after another.
I think the new gadgets in front of me are really interesting.
So many pairs of eyes stared at Li Fengbei riding a bicycle with Qiao Anle on it, his figure getting farther and farther away until it completely disappeared.
I couldn't bear to blink.
Some people even ran after it just to take a few more glances.
The crowd was talking in a noisy voice, and many people were clamoring to go to Captain Li's house tomorrow to take a good look at the bicycle.
One of them murmured something.
"Captain Li's wife is so lucky to have married such a great man. I wonder if my daughter will be so lucky."
There is so much envy mixed in it.
…
On the other hand.
After a long ride along the mountain road, Li Fengbei and Qiao Anle finally returned to their home.
Go out for a while.
Only after I came back did I realize that no place is worse than my own doghouse.
The two of them acted separately in tacit understanding.
Li Fengbei carried the things he bought into the house, then went straight into the small kitchen and started preparing dinner.
Qiao Anle changed into a more casual outfit and went out.
She went to pick up the three little ones.
By this time, it was already an hour later than her usual time to pick up her child.
