Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "I saw Cheng Xiao Kui sign the divorce agreement with my own eyes! When we get back to the capital, the leader can just take the divorce agreement to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate!"
That piece of junk is no match for our leader! Don't believe me? Ask Xiao Li!
Song Yalan smiled and said, "How could I not believe you..."
But... but why did she feel that Si Muyang was showing too much concern for Cheng Xiaokui...?
She walked up to Si Muyang and said, "Xiao Kui is gone? Why did she leave? Do you still have something to say to her? Why don't we drive into the village and you go see her!"
Si Muyang glanced down at his watch and said, "It's too late. We need to get back to the capital, and we also need to take those two spies with us. We also need to go to the joint defense team to complete the handover procedures."
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to get on the bus and set off.
He was going to take the contents of the meeting back to the capital, and all of them were kept secret.
The spies who suddenly appeared to ambush him must also be brought back to the capital for rigorous interrogation, and their superiors and subordinates must be rounded up!
As for Cheng Xiao Kui...
Si Muyang gently pinched his brow with his fingers. Why was Cheng Xiao Kui different this time...?
Even though he was the same person, this time he felt like a completely different person; all he could think about was Cheng Xiao Kui!
It was already dark when Cheng Xiaokui rode her bicycle into the village.
She saw a beam of flashlight coming from the direction of her house from afar.
She pedaled her bicycle a few more times to pick up speed, waved towards the light, and said, "Mom, we're back!"
Lin Qiuru hurriedly came forward and said in a low voice, "You're finally back! I've been so worried all day, afraid something might have happened to you in the county town!"
Xiaolongbao jumped off the bicycle crossbar and said to Lin Qiuru, "Grandma! It was really close to disaster! There were spies trying to ambush my dad, but Xiaokui caught the spies and saved him!"
Lin Qiuru's mouth dropped open in shock. She exclaimed incredulously, "What's going on? Tell Grandma!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Mom, no rush, let's go inside and talk!"
She pushed the bicycle into the kitchen and took everything out of the wicker basket. The half-sack of potatoes and sweet potatoes became a treasure in Lin Qiuru's eyes.
She asked in surprise, "Why did you buy so many potatoes and sweet potatoes? You don't have any food coupons."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Mom, look what this is! Let's go inside and eat!"
Xiaolongbao and the two of them worked together to lift the small kang table onto the kang.
Today they are going to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) and enjoy a comfortable feast.
Cheng Xiao Kui put the pig's head meat and flatbread into a plate.
Lin Qiuru was completely dumbfounded when she saw the pig's head meat.
She asked incredulously, "Xiao Kui, where did you get the money to buy pig's head, flatbread, and half a sack of potatoes! How much did that cost?"
Cheng Xiao Kui took all the money out of her pocket and told Xiao Long Bao to close the courtyard gate and the room door tightly.
She lowered her voice and said to Lin Qiuru, "Mom, both bags of potato chips sold today, and we made a total of 2.85 yuan."
I bought six meat buns for my two children, which cost one cent. I also bought a pound of pig's head meat for three cents, a large flatbread for one cent and five cents, and 30 pounds of processed potatoes for two cents.
Today we spent a total of 75 cents, and here's 2.1 yuan left. Please keep the money safe; let's save it up for our trip to Beijing.
Lin Qiuru's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit two eggs.
She was absolutely shocked. She knew potato chips were delicious, but she never expected them to sell so well, and she made more than two dollars in just one day!
The key point is that they even bought pig's head meat, which they wouldn't even dare to eat during the Chinese New Year!
She muttered to herself, "So much money in just one day... How much could that be in a month?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "I can make a lot of money! Tomorrow I won't go to sell potato chips. I'll make all the potato chips at home, and the day after tomorrow I'll go and buy more, trying to earn 5 yuan that day!"
Selling potato chips isn't the problem; the problem is that making potato chips takes time, much longer than selling them.
Lin Qiuru said, "Teach me tomorrow. If I can make potato chips at home, it won't stop you from selling them!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Okay, I'll teach you how to make potato chips tomorrow! But if you don't go to the fields to earn work points, won't the village chief and the Party Secretary get suspicious?"
She tore off a piece of flatbread, filled it with pork head meat, and handed it to Lin Qiuru. She also made flatbread rolls with meat for the two children.
The two children were eating meat-filled pancakes, their mouths greasy with oil.
Lin Qiuru said, "My body is such that I'm sick for half the year. I told them I had another attack and couldn't get up."
You never want to work in the fields to earn work points. When you don't go to the fields, nobody even asks where you've been.
Countless black lines slid down Cheng Xiaokui's forehead. It seemed that the villagers had long assumed that she would never actually do any farm work!
But this is actually quite good; since no one is looking for her, she can quietly make a lot of money.
A large flatbread and a pound of pig's head meat were devoured by the four of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson.
There wasn't enough food; we were still hungry after we finished eating.
Cheng Xiaokui suddenly remembered the potato starch she had washed yesterday. She asked, "Mom, is that potato starch still in the kitchen? I'll go make you some hot and sour potato noodles!"
Lin Qiuru had never heard of hot and sour potato noodles before. Curious, she followed Cheng Xiaokui into the kitchen.
The potato starch was placed in an enamel basin and soaked in water.
Cheng Xiao Kui boiled a large pot of water. After the water boiled, she poured the potato starch into a strainer. The potato starch flowed freely into the pot through the strainer's holes.
When the potato starch falls into the pot, it turns into long, transparent potato noodles.
Cheng Xiao Kui took four large bowls, each containing vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, and salt.
She scooped out the potato noodles and placed them in four bowls, then poured a little broth into each bowl. The sour and spicy potato noodles were ready!
Lin Qiuru and Cheng Xiaokui brought all four bowls of potato noodles into the room.
The grandfather and grandson sat at the kang table, slurping rice noodles.
You won't know until you try it, and once you do, you'll be amazed.
Lin Qiuru exclaimed in surprise, "How can these potato noodles be so delicious? They're so sour and spicy, it smells amazing!"
Xiaolongbao said, "It's so delicious, so delicious! I think it's even better than potato chips. Xiaokui, can we sell these for money?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "You're such a clever little devil! You even thought of that."
However, we can't move the pots and stove over, and we're only making a small amount of potato chips right now, so we won't get much potato starch. We'll just use the potato starch for ourselves for now.
She had already made plans; once she returned to the capital, she would see how she would make her mark!
Lin Qiuru said, "Xiao Kui, even if we have money, we can't go back to the capital, right? If you go back to the capital without a quota to return to the city, you will be sent back to the village if you are found out."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Mom, we didn't have one before, but that doesn't mean I won't have one in the future. Isn't there one quota for returning to the city in our village?"
Lin Qiu asked in surprise, "Wasn't the quota for returning to the city supposed to be given to Zhang Weidong, an educated youth?"
