Chapter 109 Looking for Trouble
To celebrate getting a temporary business certificate.
After closing their stall, the mother and daughter of the Meng family went to the market and the supply and marketing cooperative together and bought meat, fish, biscuits, mints and a large pot of rapeseed oil.
After buying the things, the three of them went to the town office to sign a guarantee, got in the car and prepared to go back. When they arrived at the town entrance, they met a man selling rice sticks.
Meng Shulan bought two kilograms and took them back for her two children.
The donkey cart drove all the way back home. It was still early, just after eleven o'clock.
Today my family went to town to do business. The two little kids were waiting and playing at the intersection below the yard, hoping that everyone would come back early and bring them delicious food.
In the past, when the two of them squatted here, they would bring many children with them to play with them.
Everyone dug mud and kicked stones together. Because the Meng family often prepared snacks for the two children, the other children could get some from time to time, and they got along very harmoniously and happily.
But today, there was no one around the two little kids, and no one wanted to play with them. A naughty little boy had said that the Meng family was going to be arrested, their parents were going to go to jail, and their grandparents didn’t want them anymore.
Huang Huina was almost five years old and knew some things. She was also unwilling to accept the result and "scolded" the little boy.
Huang Sijia was only one month away from turning two years old. She knew nothing and just cried.
Later, Mengfud came, yelled at the naughty kid, took some candy, and comforted his two granddaughters.
The two little kids stopped crying, but they were still not happy. They sat on the rock below in a depressed mood and refused to eat the candy.
Gu Yue passed by the two of them shaking a branch and was about to go home, but he saw candy in Huang Sijia's pocket out of the corner of his eye and stopped.
She took out a colorful rope made of wool from her bag, walked over to the two sisters and said, "Would you like to play rope-playing?"
Huang Huina looked at her and said nothing.
A lot of things have happened at home recently, and she has begun to understand that some people are annoying. They will only fawn on you when they have food to eat, and laugh at you when they don’t, just like Ergouzi who just quarreled with her.
Huang Hui Na was not sure whether the person in front of her had good intentions.
However, Huang Sijia didn't think too much about it. When Gu Yue took out the skipping rope, her eyes lit up. Although she didn't know how to play, she could make trouble.
Huang Sijia stood up immediately and said, "Let's play."
Gu Yue said to Xiao Ya: "But you don't know how to play at all!"
"Yes, yes."
Huang Sijia pouted and was about to cry.
Gu Yue looked very embarrassed, "How about this, I will accompany you, but it's not for free, you have to pay me a candy."
Huang Sijia had a lot of candies in her pockets, and she was about to take them out as soon as she heard this.
Huang Huina, who was standing next to her, saw this and quickly stopped her sister. She looked at Gu Yue angrily and said, "You just want to cheat my sister out of her candy, right? Don't think I don't know."
Gu Yue looked very sad, "So that's how you think of me, forget it, I won't play with her anymore."
When Huang Sijia saw Gu Yue take the flower rope back, she started crying.
Huang Huina quickly coaxed her child into giving her a rope, saying that there was one at home and she could go back and get it so they could play.
But Huang Sijia had already started crying and couldn't be comforted, and she refused to leave even when Huang Huina pulled her away.
Gu Yue, who was about to leave, uttered a "tsk" and took out the flower rope again, and said to Huang Huina: "I'll rent it to you for fun, and you get a candy."
Huang Hui Na gritted her teeth and said, "You just want to eat our candy."
indeed.
Gu Yue had rotten teeth recently, and her uncle has cut off her candy.
She hasn't had sweets for a long time and is craving for them.
Gu Yue: "You can't say that. I made this rope myself. I have no relatives or friends with you. I can't just give it to you guys for free, right? In this way, in addition to this rope, I will also be responsible for coaxing your sister. It's just a candy, which is a good deal."
Huang Huina was still a little hesitant.
Huang Sijia cried even louder when she saw that her sister wanted more.
"Okay, okay, just one." They had quite a few anyway.
When the three members of the Gu family drove back from outside, they saw three children playing on the stone dam below the yard, and Meng Fude was busy in the vegetable garden beside the dam.
The car stopped at the intersection and I got out to unload the things.
Meng Shulan first took out the bag of rice sticks, gave one to each of the three children, and wrapped one in oil paper, asking Gu Yue to take it home and eat it slowly.
Gu Yue looked at Meng Shulan strangely. Why did she give so much?
However, since there was something delicious right in front of her, she didn't refuse and quickly took it and thanked him.
Because they had to return the donkey cart to someone else, the mother and her two daughters unloaded the things at the intersection first and planned to take them home later.
At this point, there are many people washing clothes near the dam.
The fact that the Meng family members ignored advice and continued to go to the town to do business this morning had already caused discussion. Now that they are back, everyone will definitely come to see and ask about the situation.
However, when everyone put down their work and came over to take a look, wow, there was fish and meat, so many good things were bought.
The backpacks used by the village to carry things are all made of bamboo, and there will be gaps in them regardless of their size. No matter how well you pack your things, people will still be able to see through them.
Everyone looked at the pork, oil bottles and other things and was secretly shocked.
Sure enough, it's good to make money. You have food to eat and money to spend. Fish, meat, cakes and candies. Even the working class families in the town probably don't spend as much as the Meng family! Thinking of this, the words of comfort in my heart were a little hard to say.
The purpose of going to college is to have a job, to put it bluntly, is for the salary, for that little money.
If you can make the same or even more money by doing business, it seems that it is not so important whether you go to college or not. After all, it is too difficult to get into college nowadays.
However, as soon as this idea came out, it was immediately rejected by everyone.
It is still more important to get into university. After all, a job is a stable job, it is superior to others and gives you face.
When it comes to doing business, you can do it today, you can do it tomorrow, but you can’t say for sure about the day after tomorrow. Who knows what the situation is? There are too many uncertainties and it is not safe enough.
Seeing the mother and daughter of the Meng family preparing to go back with their things on their backs, someone was about to say something when Ye Pingshun drove back in from the dam, with the village chiefs of the two neighboring villages sitting in the back seat.
No one knew what was going on with these three people gathered together. They looked very serious and unfriendly.
Everyone was afraid to speak for a moment, as if they had returned to those years.
Only a few people from the Meng family were going uphill and didn't see the situation below at all.
Ye Pingshun parked the car, threw away the whip in his hand, and shouted to the people above, "He Jinqiu, Meng Shulan, Meng Changli, stop first, don't leave."
At this time, the mother and daughter finally turned around and looked at the people below. Meng Shulan smiled and said, "Captain Ye, what's the matter?"
Ye Pingshun put his hands behind his back, looking very embarrassed. "To be honest, we are in the same village, and I really don't want to interfere too much. But now your situation is not just a question of compliance. Your stubborn behavior not only affects you, but also affects everyone, and affects our entire Yantang Village."
