Chapter 101 I Like Sour Food
Zou Mei couldn't hide her intention to reconcile.
Zhu Yunying also knew that she was doing it for her own good, but matters of the heart depend on mutual consent and cannot be achieved just by being impulsive.
She was busy picking up food, but suddenly stopped -
Why is it that one side is too eager to do the job?
Who's hot?
She's hot?!
No no no no no no!
She would never really fall in love with a man who has no sense of romance, is sarcastic, and has a sour face all day long!
If you like potatoes, you don’t like him!
Zhu Yunying took a big bite of shredded potatoes and chewed them. The original refreshing feeling disappeared, and instead she felt sour all over.
"Let's go shopping!"
"Go ahead and buy it first, then go check out the alley to see if there's anything new!"
Zhu Yunying took Zou Mei's arm and went with her to visit the supply and marketing cooperative again.
As usual, Zou Mei looked down on the things in the supply and marketing cooperative and wanted food coupons, so she had to work very hard.
It’s not as good as the black market. If you save money, you can still get something out of it.
It’s not like the supply and marketing cooperatives. Even if you save a few dollars, you still can’t eat a bite of oil without meat coupons.
After entering the alley, the two of them went their separate ways.
Zou Mei went to buy vegetables and specifically picked out dried goods.
Zhu Yunying wandered around and came to Sister Dong's stall.
When Sister Dong saw her, her eyes widened.
"I haven't seen you in a while! All those I had before are sold out. Someone even came here specifically to place an order! He asked if you had old ginseng as well since you're selling it so loudly! You know the goods and won't bargain down the price!"
Sister Dong was beaming with joy. She was raking money from her purse and boasting about her booming business. She claimed that as long as Zhu Yunying could bring it to her, she would definitely be able to sell it.
Zhu Yunying counted the money in her hand, a thick stack, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
But he didn't respond to Sister Dong's words.
"Sister Dong, you've been selling goods here for so long, but you still haven't figured out the tricks! Can this old ginseng be circulated on the black market? This good stuff is hidden at home, and it's been sent back and forth secretly. If it really gets out, aren't you afraid of being set up by someone?"
"What if someone spends a lot of money to buy it, and then a few days later, they say the medicine is too strong and they're too weak to take it, and they die! And they ask us for compensation? What should we do?"
Zhu Yunying raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's sell some warming and nourishing Chinese herbs. No matter how weak you are, they can all replenish you. As for ginseng, let's sell the small, tender ones with whiskers. Anyone who wants to take care of it can buy it and grow it themselves!"
"Hahaha! You can't grow anything yourself." Sister Dong was amused by her and said hurriedly, "I'm confused too! Business has been good recently, and I've gotten a little carried away."
Zhu Yunwei just smiled and said nothing.
Sister Dong looked at Zhu Yunyao again and saw that she didn't seem to have a bag with her. She looked a little disappointed and said, "You came here today, but you didn't bring anything new."
"I can't plant anything in the fields since my hometown didn't send any. But, I do have a favor that I'd like you to help me with."
After not coming for a few days, she found that Sister Dong was not as real as before.
Regarding the ginseng sale just now, anyone who wasn't in the black market would be wary, and even Sister Dong, an old hand, would fall into the trap.
Maybe they think she is young, unfamiliar with the place, and easy to bully?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunying counted out 20 yuan from the money she had just collected and handed it to Sister Dong.
"Use this money to buy me some fluffy cotton seeds. Buy as much as you can. I'll send it back home. My brothers at home want to try growing cotton."
Sister Dong twisted it, lowered her head to think for a moment, then looked up and smiled, "Okay! I'll watch it for you. But I have to remind you that cotton can't be grown just anywhere. It depends on the weather, the water, and the land."
"Yeah, I know!"
Zhu Yunying just wanted to see how much cotton seeds she could buy, how much it would cost, and what excuses she would make if she asked Sister Dong to buy them.
Hopefully she's not that stupid.
After all, Zhu Yunying can change a dealer at any time.
After the deal was done, she went to find Zou Mei.
On the way, I bought a small bag of preserved apricots.
Wild, sun-dried, mouth-wateringly sour.
Zou Mei bought a large bag of dried mushrooms. Seeing that she was eating sour food again, she teased her, "Sister-in-law, why are you just like me when I was pregnant? You only like eating sour food!"
Zhu Yunying was stunned and quickly stuffed the thing into Zou Mei's hands.
"I bought this for you. Try it first and don't be disgusted!"
Zou Mei grinned happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Zhu Yunying suddenly felt uneasy, as if there were a group of little rabbits jumping around, and her hands and feet were numb.
No way!
It can't be... that she's really pregnant!
On the way back to the compound, the bus was a bit bumpy.
Considering that there was a pregnant woman like Zou Mei in the car, Lao Zhang drove very slowly. The car was swaying and Zhu Yunying fell asleep leaning against the back of the chair.
When getting off the car, it was Zou Mei who pushed her.
Seeing that Zou Mei had also fallen asleep and her eyes were full of life, Zhu Yunying's heart was about to jump out!
Okay!
I guess I was infected.
…
Zhu Yunying returned to the courtyard in a depressed mood.
Then I heard Xiao Zhang's excited voice.
"Reporter Zeng, did you bring your camera this time? When you take pictures, just glance over at where I'm sitting!"
"Hahaha! Zhang Qiangqiang, you're so bold in front of your leader! You even dare to order me around?!"
A crisp girl's voice, sounding a bit bully-like.
Xiao Zhang immediately became timid.
"That's what I'm saying! I'll fill a hot water bottle for you every day!"
"Just kidding! I brought film with me this time just to take pictures. I'll take a picture of you and your dad together."
"Okay, okay. Thank you, reporter Zeng!"
Zhu Yunying wondered when a reporter named Zeng appeared in the compound.
While she was hesitating, a green figure suddenly rushed out from the yard and hugged her!
"Sister-in-law, I finally meet you! I'm Zeng Xiaoqin, the daughter of cousin Feng Shuo's third aunt. My real third aunt! I'm your real cousin!"
Zeng Xiaoqin hugged her tightly and said a lot in one breath!
I specifically emphasized that she is my biological sister.
Zhu Yunying was so dizzy from her shaking that she almost stumbled and fell.
Feng Shuo, who was standing next to him, pulled Zeng Xiaoqin away and scolded her in a low voice, "Stop touching me!"
"Cousin, my sister-in-law smells really good." Zeng Xiaoqin took a deep breath and glared at her cousin unwillingly, "She really doesn't need perfume."
How could my cousin marry such a sister-in-law?
Feng Shuo glared at her unhappily, and moved his dark eyes to Zhu Yunwei. He saw that she was not looking at him at all, but was just staring at Zeng Xiaoqin curiously.
My mood inexplicably became gloomy.
"Zeng Xiaoqin is a reporter, here to report on the art troupe's performance. Political Commissar Zhang arranged for her to stay in our courtyard."
Feng Shuo introduced.
Zhu Yunying nodded in sudden realization: "Hello, cousin Xiaoqin."
"Sister-in-law, just call me Xiaoqin. I'm here to help you."
"Help me?" Zhu Yunying didn't understand.
Zeng Xiaoqin nodded: "Yes! Shen Qian is also in the condolence group. I will keep an eye on her and not let her get close to my cousin!"
Zhu Yunwei: “…”
Feng Shuo gasped and said sinisterly, "Zeng Xiaoqin, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"How could I be talking nonsense? You saved her, and she's repaying your kindness with hatred, always wanting to marry you! And you're not allowed to say anything!"
Zeng Xiaoqin glared at Feng Shuo angrily: "Cousin, pay attention to your status. You are married now! Don't speak for other women in front of your sister-in-law!"
Feng Shuo was furious!
What did you say just now, to coax Zhu Yunwei for him?
Is that how you coax me?!
