Chapter 38: Relying on yourself is good
About twenty minutes later, Lin Ranran and Liu Juan actually came back carrying a white foam box each.
While eating the popsicle that Lin Ranran bought for him, Xiaotian deliberately walked up to Ye Ying to show off.
After Lin Ranran and Liu Juan put the foam box on the ground, they called everyone over to get popsicles.
Maybe it was because he spent an extra dollar to treat everyone to popsicles for no reason, Lin Ranran had a cold face the whole time when distributing the popsicles.
At that time, teachers' monthly salary was several dozen yuan. Although this one yuan was nothing to Lin Ranran, she became even angrier when she thought that she was cheated by Ye Ying.
Ye Ying looked at her unhappy expression and laughed secretly in her heart.
The popsicles were quickly distributed to everyone.
Even Ji Lianqi, who had just come back from getting food, was not spared and had one stuffed into his hand by Lin Ranran.
Ji Lianqi lowered his head and stared at the white foam box in front of Lin Ranran and Liu Juan, then glanced at the foam box on the back seat of the 28-bar truck, and pursed his lips into a line.
"Brother Lianqi, the weather is hot, I'll treat everyone to popsicles." Lin Ranran explained to Ji Lianqi in a gentle voice.
"This Fatty...this Ye Ying is really stingy!"
"She hadn't sold out all the popsicles yet, and there were still so many left in the box, but she couldn't bear to give one to Xiaotian, leaving Xiaotian following her all the way with eager eyes!"
"I can't bear to watch this, so I'll just invite everyone to eat together!"
Ji Lianqi frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He turned to look at Ye Ying and said, "Did you go out to sell popsicles?"
Ye Ying nodded silently.
"Brother Lian Qi, you don't know?"
Being ignored, Lin Ranran pretended to be surprised and interrupted, "I ran into her at the school gate today. It was so embarrassing!"
Ji Lianqi disagreed: "I think it's good. I make money with my own hands, without stealing or robbing, so there's nothing shameful about it."
A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Ying's eyes.
Ji Lianqi is very happy to be able to say this and has a positive outlook.
Although she didn't make much money from selling popsicles, it was the only low-cost business she could think of when she returned to the 1980s with nothing.
The original owner was a person who had no idea how to manage money and was very stingy with coins, so the only thing she had left was the 10 yuan that Liu Juan paid for her as "medical expenses."
So much so that until now she is still using Ji Lianqi's money.
The starting capital for selling popsicles is not much, just a little money for purchasing goods.
If the sales are good, the cost of purchasing the goods can be recovered on the same day, which is relatively easy and simple to operate.
Lin Ranran opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she saw Ji Lianqi walked directly towards Ye Ying: "Go home and have dinner."
Ye Ying opened the box, took out the remaining popsicles, and distributed them to the children who had not had any in front of Xiaotian. Then she hurriedly followed Ji Lianqi's footsteps.
Xiaotian saw it, snorted, and his lips were pouted so much that a soy sauce bottle could be hung on them.
Seeing that Ji didn't even bother to pay attention to Xiaotian and just left, Lin Ranran was so angry that she didn't care about Xiaotian anymore and followed him upstairs with a sullen face.
"Mom, why is Aunt Ranran suddenly angry?" Xiaotian didn't understand and asked his old mother Liu Juan in confusion.
Liu Juan glanced at Xiao Tian and said, "You are still a child, why are you asking so many adult questions?"
Seeing the popsicle in Xiaotian's hand, Liu Juan suddenly remembered something.
"Xiaotian, tell me, when did you become so close to Aunt Ranran?"
Xiaotian didn't know why his mother asked this, so he told Liu Juan that Lin Ranran often brought candies and snacks to him and other friends.
Liu Juan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so she didn't take it to heart. She packed up the two boxes of popsicles and took Xiaotian home.
After Ye Ying entered the house, Ji Lianqi locked the door with a "click".
"What are you doing?" Ye Ying frowned subconsciously.
"Nothing." Ji Lianqi locked the door and went behind the curtain to start taking off his clothes.
Ye Ying understood immediately, but was still a little confused: "Are you afraid of being seen? I haven't seen you lock the door before."
But the next second, Ye Ying knew why.
Lin Ranran's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Lian Qi, I have something to ask you, can you come out first?"
Ji Lianqi paused in the process of changing clothes and said nothing.
Lin Ranran didn't give up and called out again, "Brother Lian Qi?"
"I know you're in there, can you please..."
After a while, the door opened with a click.
When Lin Ranran saw Ye Ying's big fat face, her expression suddenly changed from anticipation to disgust.
Ye Ying blocked the door like a mountain. Lin Ranran glared at her, tilted her head slightly to the right, and looked into the house.
But Ye Ying just refused to show it to Lin Ranran.
When she moved to the right, Ye Ying's body moved to the right to block her; when she moved to the left, Ye Ying moved to the left to block her.
Lin Ranran was stunned and couldn't see anything.
"Get out of here! Don't block me here, I'm here to find Brother Lian Qi!"
Ye Ying refused to give in and immediately retorted, "I haven't said anything to you yet, what are you doing, yelling outside someone else's house?"
"It's none of your business!" Lin Ranran pushed Ye Ying, trying to push her away from the door.
But Lin Ranran obviously didn't take Ye Ying's 200 pounds seriously at all, and she couldn't even move her.
Seeing that Lin Ranran didn't seem to give up, Ye Ying imitated Lin Ranran's tone and said with a smile: "Go back, Brother Lian Qi doesn't want to see you."
The call of "Brother Lianqi" gave her goosebumps!
Lin Ranran didn't believe it, stamped her feet, and shouted into the house: "Brother Lian Qi, this is just Ye Ying's nonsense, right?"
Ji Lianqi in the room said nothing.
After a while, Lin Ranran gritted her teeth, turned around and left.
Ye Ying closed the door and was about to ask Ji Lianqi why he didn't go out to see Lin Ranran, but when she turned around, she saw Ji Lianqi, with his upper body naked, disinfecting his injured arm.
"Wow, how are you hurt?"
Ye Ying ran over quickly and found that the wound was quite deep and it looked painful.
Ji Lianqi, however, looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. It was obvious that he was used to these minor injuries.
"I accidentally did it during today's field training."
Ye Ying remembered that Ji Lianqi had applied medicine to her back last time, so she took the iodine from him and said, "Let me help you."
Ji Lianqi did not object, he simply turned around and stretched his injured arm towards Ye Ying.
Ye Ying's movements were very gentle. Although she knew that a tough guy like Ji Lianqi would not take such a minor injury seriously, she still instinctively controlled the strength of her hands.
At this moment, Ji Lianqi was sitting on a chair, and Ye Ying was half-bending. He could see her long and thick eyelashes by slightly raising his head. It seemed that there was only him in the pair of eyes under her long eyelashes.
This seemed to be the first time he looked at her from such a close distance.
