Of course the rap arranger was too embarrassed to stand up, so he just looked around and pretended not to know.
Xie Tingyu certainly had no intention of providing everyone with after-dinner tea jokes. He said calmly, "Since no one said anything, I will assume that you know in your hearts that there are some things that should not be said. First use courtesy, then use force. I'm putting this here. Next time I hear you, don't ask me why I used force. Disperse and get to work."
Xie Tingyu looks gentle and polite, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive.
The passers-by who were watching the fun on the side originally thought that the educated youth from the capital would look down on a country girl like Ye Qingshui. Maybe they would even laugh at her, but it turned out not to be the case - the gossiping women in the countryside didn't know whether they should envy Ye Qingshui for getting a bargain or criticize her for being shameless and indecent.
Xie Tingyu's words, which were meant to scare the female educated youth, made them feel uncomfortable and even more aggrieved.
Such a good man ended up with such an ugly wife. Therefore, Ye Qingshui found that he received more jealous, disgusted and sour looks.
Ye Qingshui was in a very good mood. In his previous life, Ye Qingshui was shy and self-abased, like a mute person, always silently enduring malice.
At that time, Ye Qingshui always thought: They are so educated and knowledgeable, she can't compete with them. If they quarrel, what if they make grandma and mother sad again? What should she do?
But malice will not change because of people's tolerance and forbearance.
At that time, Ye Qingshui believed that suffering a loss is a blessing. Now she believes that if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone offends me, I will pull it back! Is your hand stretched too far? Raise the knife and chop it off!
The sun was too hot at noon, so the production team leader let the members go off work early. After Xie Tingyu returned the farm tools, he followed Ye Qingshui silently. He watched her in silence for the whole morning, thinking that this village girl must be feeling uncomfortable.
Ye Qingshui didn't know that it was just a short road, but Xie Tingyu had already imagined so much.
She returned to the house and took out all her savings. Ye Qingshui frowned and stared at the small amounts of banknotes with deep hatred. They were thick, but they only added up to ten dollars, fifty cents and three cents.
This money was saved up with great difficulty. She paid back one dollar to Xie Tingyu according to the market price.
Xie Tingyu looked at the dollar, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Ye Qingshui explained: "Your flour and rice, add up to almost ten kilograms, and there are odds and ends of pork and other things. I don't have that much money anymore, I will return it to you when I have money. Remember the food coupons, too."
It was the first time for Xie Tingyu to take money from a woman, especially when she looked so determined. He looked down, and the little girl's black eyes were so clear that they reflected his shadow. Her eyes were very calm, and there was no longer the strong and passionate emotions of the past.
So Xie Tingyu said lazily: "Can I still ask for your money?"
"Of course, why not. You are you and I am me, we should keep things clear. You are so good to me and even want to take on the responsibility of supporting the family. Do you want to stay in my Ye family forever?"
Ye Qingshui teased, without even looking at Xie Tingyu's expression, he folded the stack of banknotes and stuffed it into his hand.
Xie Tingyu was stunned when he heard this.
He took the money readily and said calmly, "Little girl, you dare to say these words."
The 17-year-old girl looked childish, but she advised him not to be nice to her, otherwise he would stay in the Ye family. Xie Tingyu almost laughed when he heard this.
…
Ye Qingshui thought hard about how to make money, and after much thought, he decided to go back to his old business. However, doing business these days is not called business, but speculation. Once caught, it will be a big deal to be behind bars with tears.
She has to find out the market situation before making any plans.
The next day, the weekend.
Ye Qingshui planned to go to the county to try her luck. She walked two miles before getting on the bus. The bus ticket cost five cents. One cent can make a hero fall. When Ye Qingshui took out the crumpled banknote from her pocket, she felt a little reluctant. In her mind, she quickly equated five cents with half a pound of rice.
A Niang hadn't eaten rice for many days. Ye Qingshui, who had lived a good life in his previous life and had a delicate body, endured it and took the money back.
"Sorry, I don't want to take the car anymore."
The bus conductor had a "are you kidding me" look on his face as he watched the little girl run out the door.
When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Ye Qingshui's back was already wet with sweat, and her face was burning from the sun. Although she was stingy with the mileage, she still bought a pound of flour when she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. This little bit of flour was of no use at all, and it was light and fluttery, but Ye Qingshui was poor and she didn't have a food coupon. The brigade didn't issue food coupons, and at the end of the year the public society would distribute food according to the centimeters earned.
After she bought the flour, she also bought five ounces of sugar and three ounces of oil. A total of fifty-eight cents was spent. After Ye Qingshui finished her shopping, she felt a little relieved. She held these things as if they were her own treasures. These things were her hope of making money to support her family.
After Ye Qingshui bought the flour, he met an acquaintance.
She hesitated for a moment, and with the idea of keeping a low profile, she took a step back and hid. Unexpectedly, Shen Weimin was sharp-eyed and shouted "ho yo" exaggeratedly.
"Brother Yu, look at that one over there, that's your little wife."
Ye Qingshui was exposed now, so she couldn't play dumb. Fortunately, she didn't carry too many things, which were within her purchasing power and would not attract too much attention. She frowned secretly and thought that she should be more cautious when she came to the county to buy food next time.
So she nodded to them, "Hello."
Shen Weimin sneered and turned his head away.
Xie Tingyu watched her from beginning to end, as if he could always see her in a very miserable state. Either drowning or in this miserable and pitiful state, with beads of sweat running down her cheeks, and she was nowhere to be found in the crowd. He glanced at the line, she was in the middle and back, and she might not be able to buy anything until the store closed.
So he asked her: "Do you want to buy anything else? I'll bring it back to you later."
Ye Qingshui also wanted to buy one more thing, baking powder, which would be useful for making pasta and snacks. But she didn't want to buy it in front of Xie Tingyu, so she said vaguely, "No thanks."
"I'll get in line first."
Ye Qingshui also knew that he might not be able to buy everything this time. These days, supplies are extremely scarce and in short supply. Even a cabbage is so popular that people are scrambling for it. If you don't line up early, you won't be able to buy food.
Xie Tingyu thought for a moment and called out, "Monkey."
A man with a pointed chin and a thin face named Monkey came out in a hurry and asked, "Brother Yu, what are you doing?"
"Ask someone to make room for him." Xie Tingyu said.
The man called Monkey said "Oh" and went back to make some arrangements, and a seat was vacated in front of the line. It turned out that Monkey's family worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, and his father was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. The salesman who was usually arrogant and looked down on others had to respond to Monkey's requests.
Ye Qingshui was pushed to the front row by Monkey, she was a little confused. Monkey patted her head and said, "Little sister, what are you doing? Hurry up! Buy it!"
Ye Qingshui, who was forced to join the Liangshan bandits, enjoyed a special treatment and bought a bag of baking powder in humiliation.
Xie Tingyu turned around and went to the department store.
The monkey said, "This sister looks familiar."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was beaten by Shen Weimin, who snorted through his teeth: "Have you read too many banned books? Not only does it look familiar, you've also attended her wedding banquet!"
In just a few seconds, the monkey switched from the perspective of a well-intentioned older brother to that of an uncritical person.
"I, I fucking—"
He choked, opened his eyes wide, pointed at Ye Qingshui's nose and asked, "Sister, how much makeup did you put on when you got married? I almost didn't recognize you."
What he actually wanted to say was: This scheming bad woman looks like this, isn't she teasing him?
Isn’t this just a simple and rustic little country girl?
Ye Qingshui was a little embarrassed. Those were all stupid things she did when she was young and ignorant. She shrugged indifferently: "I don't remember much about them either."
The author has something to say:
Small theater:
Brother Yu: Today is another day when handsome guys are afraid of being noticed by others.
Shui Yaer: “…”
The banned book here refers to "Dream of Red Mansions"
