I don’t know whether Zhou Ke’s grandfather survived in the end. It would be a pity if he couldn’t afford treatment just because he was poor.
When Ye Qingshui thought of this, he wanted to go into the city to engage in speculation again.
She was exhausted these past few days, her legs were broken from running, but she didn't make much money. She originally planned to sell at a low price and sell quickly, and close the stall as soon as possible. But now it seems that this won't work. Since she has already taken the road of speculation, how can she be so honest?
If you speak honestly you will get beaten!
Ye Qingshui decided to raise the price! Since the price was going to increase, the buns she made couldn't be too perfunctory, and she had to show her own unique skills.
When selling buns, the dough must be soft and fragrant, the meat in the filling must be solid, and the juice must be fragrant. Even the temperature of the buns just out of the oven is just right. The temperature cannot be controlled here. After all, the journey is long and you cannot eat the freshly baked buns in time.
When Ye Qingshui thought of this, he thought of Liu Yiliang and Zhang Yuanchao.
If she could get pork, chicken, duck, and fish, and have enough ingredients, why would she worry? She would cook the thick soup over a long fire for a whole day and night, like the famous dish of boiled cabbage, where she would only take a bowl of the essence of the whole chicken and use the soup to cook the cabbage. The pursuit of taste is the level of a Michelin chef.
The difficulty lies in that Zhang Yuanchao does not have a good relationship with her, can he help? Ye Qingshui had no choice but to turn her attention to Liu Yiliang. It is said that the Animal Husbandry Station and the Meat Processing Plant have a close connection.
The next day, after finishing his work at noon, Ye Qingshui took out the treasured glass beads from the cabinet, wrapped them carefully with cloth, and went into the city.
Ye Qingshui went to Zhou's house first.
The Zhou family's home was as shabby as ever. When the door opened, a stale and decayed smell wafted out. Ye Qingshui pinched his nose and couldn't help but worry: Could it be that Grandpa Zhou... had given up and passed away?
But this worry soon disappeared. She saw Mr. Zhou carrying a bucket of feces and washing it by the pool. His face was tense and his lips were dry. His sick look was not much better, but it was much better than when she came back last time. Ye Qingshui breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he made it!
Zhou Cunren glanced at Ye Qingshui indifferently and then looked away.
On the contrary, Zhou Ke called out to her affectionately when he saw her: "Sister, you are here!"
"You haven't set up a stall for a long time. People always come to ask Brother Zheng, the egg seller, when you will come."
Ye Qingshui took out the glass bead and said to Mr. Zhou with a smile: "You really have a keen eye. You can tell at a glance that the book is not worth reading."
Zhou Ke said: "My grandfather is a teacher. He used to teach. He is good at math and physics!"
Zhou Ke was interrupted by Zhou Cunren. The stubborn old man twisted his mouth and snorted coldly, "If something is sent out, it is sent out. There is no need to bring it back specially."
"That won't do. If you insist on me accepting it, I have to pay more money." This time, Ye Qingshui took out three dollars and stuffed it into Zhou Ke's pocket.
Ye Qingshui glanced at the dilapidated house. Although the house was small, it had everything it needed. On the cabinet beside the old man's bed, there was a dismantled radio, but next to the radio there were densely packed wires, circuit boards, and scales, which made Ye Qingshui feel a little interesting.
She glanced at it and then looked away.
Ye Qingshui took out the buns he brought from home and gave them to Zhou Ke.
Zhou Ke's eyes suddenly turned red, and he returned the money to Ye Qingshui, "Okay, sister, Ke'er has found a job smashing stones, and can earn five cents for a basket of stones! Grandpa is right, we have to rely on ourselves in life and cannot accept things from others. I will help you sell buns and pay you back."
He could refuse money, but not buns. He stared at his grandfather carefully, tentatively put the bun in his arms, and when his grandfather didn't say anything, he curved his eyes and quickly took a bite of the bun.
Ye Qingshui smiled when she heard this and took the money back.
"Take good care of grandpa. I'm leaving now. I'll probably be back to set up the stall tomorrow."
Ye Qingshui went out and put on a mask, and Zhou Ke caught up with him. He held two books in his hands and said breathlessly: "This is a gift from grandpa. He said thank you."
Of course, Zhou Ke added the second half of the sentence on his own initiative. Grandpa's original words at the time were: Take these two books and give them to her. She treats a tattered book as a treasure. He snorted coldly at the end.
Ye Qingshui happily accepted it. Books in this era were precious treasures. Because during the Four Olds Movement, many books were banned or burned, and there were very few interesting and worthwhile books left. She touched Zhou Ke's head and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for me."
Then Ye Qingshui went to the animal husbandry station to find Liu Yiliang. Liu Yiliang was wearing work clothes and was lying on the ground to help the newly born piglets to lactate. His hands were covered with pig manure.
Liu Yiliang smiled shyly and quickly finished his work. He shouted in a loud voice, "Sister Yu, you're here!"
Liu Yiliang called out "Sister Yu", and his colleague saw a thin girl waiting for him outside and couldn't help but tease:
"I thought it was my date, but it turned out to be my sister-in-law. Yiliang, you have to hurry up and deal with the important things in your life."
Someone interrupted, "Sister Yu? Which Sister Yu?"
The person asking the question was a newcomer, so Liu Yiliang quickly replied, "Who else could it be? My brother Yu's! I won't tell you who Brother Yu is, you've all seen him."
Liu Yiliang quickly washed himself and ran over to ask, "What's the matter, Sister Yu?"
Ye Qingshui smiled and looked at Liu Yiliang as if he was seeing meat. She said, "Yiliang, do you like eating pig's trotters?"
Liu Yiliang nodded vigorously, "I like it! Of course I like it!"
Ye Qingshui then told the purpose of his visit: "Pig trotters and pig offal are hard to get in line at the store. If you go too late, it will be hard to buy them. I want to ask you, do you have any internal quotas? I mean, benefits - I can buy them from you at a high price."
Liu Yiliang understood immediately, "Yes, in the summer, the warehouse space is limited and there are not many things that can be frozen. Pig offal, pig trotters, and pig bones are not easy to sell. The meat processing factory is unwilling to take up space to freeze them. If there are unsold bones and offal, the employees will be required to buy a few kilograms to take home. Hey, people from the meat processing factory come to complain every day. If there is this opportunity, I will save it for you."
When Ye Qingshui heard about bones, his eyes suddenly lit up. Bones are also very good, nutritious and good for the body. Although you don't need a receipt to buy them, you need a doctor's nutrition certificate to buy them. Even if there are not many people buying them, the regulations are like this, and the store can't do anything about it.
So it was very difficult for Ye Qingshui to buy bones. With such good internal benefits, it was no wonder that so many people were trying their best to work in the meat processing factory of the supply and marketing cooperative. If Ye Qingshui had a city hukou, she would have also wanted to apply for the job.
Liu Yiliang said, "It just so happens that I have some today, I'll give it to my sister-in-law."
He brought a few pig bones to Ye Qingshui. Liu Yiliang bought them from others for 10 cents per pound. Although they were not expensive, they were more bones than meat. The people at the animal husbandry station would occasionally buy bones from the meat processing plant.
Ye Qingshui was so happy to get the bone that she gave the money to Liu Yiliang and said, "You must come to my place tonight to have some bone soup. I won't take your ticket."
…
The other side.
Xie Tingyu and Shen Weimin were invited to a state-owned hotel.
When Shen Weimin saw the horrible panda eyes on Zhang Yuanchao's face, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Zhang Yuanchao told the whole story of how he was bullied by gangsters. "Do you remember how Brother Yu was stopped by gangsters to collect protection money, but was taught a lesson by Brother Yu? Now that they have someone to protect them, they are very arrogant and dare to stop me."
After that, he cried and said to Xie Tingyu, "Brother Yu, you have to help me make the decision."
Liu Yiliang also came and asked, "Do you remember who bullied you?"
Zhang Yuanchao counted the names one by one. When he counted one of them, Liu Yiliang was startled: "This is my colleague, are you remembering it wrongly?"
"No wonder you just asked me specifically, who are Brother Yu and Sister Yu?"
"What?" several men asked at the same time.
Liu Yiliang had no choice but to tell him everything about Ye Qingshui's visit to him. After hearing this, Xie Tingyu's face darkened.
"I don't think they are targeting Sister Yu. It's getting late." Liu Yiliang said.
Shen Weimin looked at Xie Tingyu's bad face and said, "It should be a matter of robbing a few dollars. They won't embarrass women that much. Don't worry, relax--"
The monkey said: "They have high standards. If she's not a village girl, they won't even look at her. Village girls are safe..."
Liu Yiliang was unhappy when he heard this. "My sister-in-law is as beautiful as a flower. It's not safe for her to walk at night. Why are you not embarrassed?"
Monkey and Shen Weimin's mouths twitched. On the one hand, they couldn't help but look at Liu Yiliang's distorted aesthetics, and on the other hand, they hurried to find a bicycle. As a result, when they turned around, Xie Tingyu had disappeared.
…
Xie Tingyu was riding his bike so fast that he almost flew up and almost hit someone.
He couldn't help thinking: I wish it was just a false alarm.
Later, Xie Tingyu thought again: If only I hadn't let Ye Qingshui go out today, it would have been better. He rode faster and faster, but there was no one in sight. The quieter the mountain road and the cooler the mountain stream, the more agitated Xie Tingyu became. After riding for about twenty minutes, he finally saw a group of people. Several big men were surrounding a slender figure and pushing and shoving each other.
Xie Tingyu's blood was flowing backwards. He rushed over and threw the car to the ground, then pulled Ye Qingshui over to protect him.
He said fiercely: "How dare you touch my people?"
As he spoke, the man pulled his clothes hard, and the buttons on his shirt fell off with a "pop".
His muscles were tense, his fists were hard and powerful, and he looked small but full of muscle. Two fists were no match for four hands, let alone eight neatly lined up people. But he was full of courage, just fighting, not afraid of fighting eight alone.
The corner of his lip was cut, his face was bruised, and his fist was broken and bleeding.
After a long time, he finally walked in front of Ye Qingshui, took a deep breath, hugged her and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay."
Xie Tingyu stared at Ye Qingshui carefully, and was relieved when he found that she had not lost a single hair. Under the golden afterglow of the setting sun, her mask fell off and hung on her ears, revealing her true face that he had not seen for a long time. It was a very beautiful face:
The curved willow-shaped eyebrows, slightly upturned nose, and slightly pursed pink lips like petals, set against a pair of dark, bright and lively eyes, her facial features seemed to be lit up, which was amazing.
White and smooth, without cracks or red blood streaks.
A cool breeze blew slowly, and the sunset made her face even more beautiful.
The author has something to say:
Brother Yu: “…”
