Seeing the uncle so excited, Zhou Bin smiled and handed him a cigarette, saying, "Uncle, sit down and rest for a while. Are you exhausted?"
Li Bingyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly: "I didn't expect you to be so amazing!"
Zhou Bin lit up his cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile: "It's just a lucky coincidence for me. I didn't expect this."
Li Bingyi grabbed Zhou Bin's arm and refused to let go: "Young man, uncle wants to discuss something with you, okay?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Uncle, just tell me what you want to say."
Li Bingyi said embarrassedly: "Uncle wants to ask you to come to my place to sell buns tomorrow. How about that? Uncle will give you two cents for each bowl of tofu pudding."
Zhou Bin grinned: "Oh, uncle, I'm very happy if you can let me sell buns in your territory. Why do I need money? As long as you are willing, I will come again tomorrow!"
When Li Bingyi heard this, he was so happy that his face beamed with joy. He immediately took out his Gongzi brand cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to Zhou Bin, and asked where Zhou Bin was from and why he came to the county to sell buns.
Zhou Bin introduced his family situation with a smile and asked about Li Bingyi's situation. Only then did he find out that Li Bingyi was also a poor man.
His son went to the mountains to dig rocks a few years ago and fell to his death. His daughter-in-law remarried. He now has a little granddaughter in elementary school and a paralyzed wife in bed.
The family depends entirely on the old man selling tofu pudding to support the family, but recently his tofu pudding business has been getting worse and worse, and he is so worried that he can't sleep every day.
This time when he saw Zhou Bin coming, he was even more anxious, fearing that Zhou Bin's arrival would make his business worse. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Bin came, his business magically improved, which made him very happy.
"Zhou Bin, it was my uncle's attitude just now, please don't take it to heart!" Li Bingyi said with a smile.
Looking at the stack of banknotes in his hand, Zhou Bin was already very happy. He smiled and said, "Uncle Li, it's okay. I understand that you are anxious. Look, aren't we cooperating very well?"
Li Bingyi nodded repeatedly: "Yes! You saved my life!"
Zhou Bin finished smoking, stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I'll go home first. My home is quite far away. See you tomorrow."
Li Bingyi immediately stood up and said, "Okay, go back first, uncle is waiting for you."
While packing his things, Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come over."
After saying this, he turned and left. Even after he walked out of the alley, he still saw Li Bingyi waving at him.
As soon as Zhou Bin left, Li Bingyi immediately packed up his things, hid in a deserted place, and counted the banknotes in his hand. He actually sold them for twenty yuan today!
This made him very happy, and he immediately packed up his things and went to cut the meat for his wife and granddaughter.
Zhou Bin calculated that he had made a total of 25 yuan today. Although it didn't seem like much, it was almost enough for the monthly income of the villagers in his village.
He took the money and went to the department store. He wanted to buy something for his family. They hadn't bought anything for a long time...
In Beiyuan Village, Li Nan and Xiaohua had just returned from working in the fields. The sun was setting in the west and it was getting dark.
Li Nan was a little anxious because there was a lot of grass in the field today. She and Xiaohua worked hard but still finished until the sun went down.
She thought her father-in-law was hungry, so she had to go back and cook.
The two hurriedly walked into the door, and Li Nan said to Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, sit down and rest for a while, mom will go to cook for us!"
Xiaohua nodded and agreed: "Okay, Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"
Li Nan glanced outside and felt a little strange. Logically, he should have come back by now.
But she didn't have time to think about it at the moment, she had to cook quickly.
While the two were talking, Zhou Jianming walked out of the kitchen.
He limped over to the two of them and said with a smile, "You guys are back? Are you hungry? I have prepared the meal."
Li Nan was very surprised: "Dad, why are you cooking? Didn't I tell you to lie down and rest?"
Zhou Jianming smiled and said, "My leg is almost healed. I feel uncomfortable lying down all the time. You are all exhausted from working in the fields. I can cook some food and give you a break."
Li Nan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Dad, I will cook from now on, you just take a rest."
Zhou Jianming asked with a smile: "Why hasn't Binbin come back yet? If you're hungry, eat first. I made some noodles for you. Let's have oil-splashed noodles today."
When Xiaohua heard this, she immediately shouted happily: "Oh! I can eat oil-splashed noodles now. Xiaohua is so happy!"
Li Nan smiled and said, "Dad, why don't you let Xiaohua eat first? I'll wait for Zhou Bin and eat after he comes back."
When Xiaohua heard this, she immediately said, "Then Nannan won't eat either. I want to wait for Dad to come back and eat together."
Zhou Jianming smiled and advised: "Xiaohua, if you are hungry, eat first. We don't know when your father will be back."
Xiaohua shook her head firmly: "No, I want to wait for Dad to come back."
Seeing his granddaughter's resolute attitude, Zhou Jianming stopped trying to persuade her and said with a smile, "Well, let's wait for your father to come back and eat together!"
When Xiaohua heard this, she became happy and said, "Okay, let's wait for Dad to come back before eating."
Li Nan felt uneasy. Zhou Bin went to the county early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. He was afraid that the buns were not selling well!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back so late.
But she had already made up her mind that even if Zhou Bin didn't sell a single bun, she would still praise her husband.
