"But he teased you!" Tang Ziyang showed an angry expression on his handsome face.
"That depends on how you think!" Jiang Yue would not get angry just because the young man's words were a little frivolous. She would not even need to eat because she would be so angry that she would be full.
"What do you mean?" Tang Ziyang didn't understand. He still felt uncomfortable. Why could Jiang Yue laugh at such a little hooligan?
"We go out to do business. Customers are God. God knows that, right?" Jiang Yue paused, and when Tang Ziyang nodded hesitantly, he continued, "Customers come to consume. They have to take money out of their pockets. As long as they don't make excessive demands, it's no big deal!"
"If you want to earn his money, you must have a sense of service. What I mean is, meet his requirements within a reasonable range. Of course, if he makes unreasonable or excessive demands, then I will definitely ignore it!"
Tang Ziyang's handsome face turned pale when he heard this. "Then he just said that he wanted you to date him in exchange for buying flowers. Isn't that an excessive request?"
"He just said it a little bit, isn't there any follow-up? Just treat it as a joke and don't take it seriously!" As Jiang Yue was speaking, more business came to the door, and several people came at once to buy white jasmine.
"Is this Jasmine? Where can she wear it dressed like this?" a young girl asked.
"Wear it on your hand, like me!" Jiang Yue stretched out her hand, revealing a fair wrist. The white jasmine bracelet on her hand looked light and beautiful.
"How much is it? Give me one."
Tang Ziyang watched Jiang Yue handing over flowers, collecting money, and making change with ease, her pretty face always filled with a bright smile, and the deer in his heart began to flutter again.
After a while, Jiang Yue's wallet was already bulging. She had sold twenty or thirty pairs of white jasmine flowers, and the ten-cent jasmine bracelets were also very popular.
Jiang Yue was busy selling white jasmine flowers, so she asked Tang Ziyang to string jasmine flowers. Although Tang Ziyang was a man, he had very skillful hands. The jasmine flowers he strung were very neatly arranged, and the flower buds were not scattered.
An old lady asked curiously: "Girl, who is this boy to you? Is he your boyfriend?"
Tang Ziyang's hand, which was threading the flowers, trembled and he almost pricked his finger. In his heart, he also hoped that Jiang Yue would not deny it, just like she did when the young man asked her just now.
"It's not a match, Auntie, this is my brother!" Jiang Yue smiled and handed two pairs of white jasmine flowers to the aunt, and also gave her a smaller one.
"It turns out to be my younger brother. They don't look much alike!" The aunt happily hung the white orchid on the button and looked at Jiang Yue and Tang Ziyang again.
Tang Ziyang's appearance is indeed as Tang Jingjing said, he is the best-looking in the family and stands out among the crowd.
But Jiang Yue was too beautiful, delicate and bright, with skin as white as snow, like a blooming rose. When the two of them stood together, they really didn't look alike at all.
"It's my cousin, Auntie!" Jiang Yue was serving the next customer, but he still explained to the auntie with a smile.
Tang Ziyang didn't look up. His fingers paused for a moment before he continued to thread the aluminum wire into the flower stalk. He couldn't tell what he felt at the moment, but he was unhappy anyway.
There are a lot of people coming to the vegetable market today, and many people are buying flowers. Although the salary level is not high these days, people are still willing to spend five cents to buy a pair of fragrant white jasmine flowers to make themselves feel better.
In just over an hour, all the white jasmine wreaths were sold out.
Jiang Yue prepared a lot of money today. Although he didn't count the money, his wallet was so full. According to yesterday's earnings, he must have earned at least sixteen or seventeen yuan today.
"Let's go buy some meat!" Before Jiang Yue left Qingshan County, she exchanged a lot of national food coupons. After settling down at Tang Jingjing's house, she gave Tang Jingjing thirty kilograms of meat and ten yuan, saying that it was her food ration for living there. However, Tang Jingjing refused to take it. Finally, she reluctantly accepted the food coupons and forced the money on Jiang Yue.
However, Jiang Yue's exchange of meat coupons was not very smooth today. He asked several people in a row, and although they were tempted by the ten kilograms of national food coupons, they all said that they did not have that many meat coupons.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue finally exchanged for a pound of meat ticket. It was a little less, but as long as there was meat to eat, nothing else would be a problem!
When they got home, before they even entered the yard, Jiang Yue and Tang Ziyang heard Tang Jingjing's swearing voice and her unconvinced retort in a hoarse voice.
When the two pushed the door open, they saw Tang Jingjing was so angry that she was beating Gong Yasheng with a stick. Gong Yasheng held his neck tight and took the beating. His trouser legs were soaked and his feet were covered in mud.
"Sister Jingjing, what's wrong?" Jiang Yue hurriedly put down the basket and walked over to stop Tang Jingjing, while Tang Ziyang opened his hoarse voice.
"You ask him! I'm so mad!" Tang Jingjing was so angry that her face turned red and she didn't want to say a word.
"Did you skip school again?" Tang Ziyang saw it at a glance and his expression was serious.
"Truant from school?" Jiang Yue was surprised. "You didn't go to school, so what did you do?"
The drake lowered his head and said nothing.
"What else can he do? Go catch shrimps and fish in the fields! People of his age are about to graduate from junior high school, but he is still in the fourth grade. He studied two years in the first grade, two years in the second grade, and two years in the third and fourth grades. Isn't it embarrassing to tell others?" Tang Jingjing was so angry that her voice split.
Jiang Yue's mouth twitched when she heard this. She only found out later that the duck-voiced man had always been targeting her because of what she said on the train: "How can you still be reading a fourth-grade primary school textbook at the age of fourteen?" This made the duck-voiced man feel hurt in his self-esteem.
Speaking of which, compulsory education had not yet been implemented in that era. If you failed the primary school exam, you would have to repeat the grade. Gong Yasheng was one of them. His grades were too poor, so he started from the first grade and studied in a two-year system. He finally succeeded in joining his ten-year younger sister in the fourth grade.
However, even though Duckling Voice doesn't like to study and has poor grades, he doesn't allow anyone to criticize him. If anyone does, he will jump up and make a noise like a monkey whose tail is stepped on.
Seeing that Duckling's face was as red as a monkey's butt and air was blowing out of his nose, Jiang Yue hurriedly pulled Tang Jingjing into the house.
After she comforted Tang Jingjing for a few words and came out, she saw Tang Ziyang holding an iron bucket and pouring out everything inside.
Jiang Yue originally wanted to see what Gong Yasang had caught. She had just heard Tang Jingjing say that Gong Yasang had skipped school to catch fish and shrimps. If he really caught fish and shrimps, it would be nice to improve their lunch.
"Why are they all crayfish? Did you catch these in this morning?" Tang Ziyang looked at the shrimps crawling on the ground, waving their big claws with a look of disgust.
"This thing is the easiest to fish. I also caught some small shrimps!" the drake defended himself with a duck voice.
"These small pieces of shrimp are not even enough to fill Mimi's teeth!" Tang Ziyang pushed the basin of water beside him.
"I can't burn these crayfish after catching them, so just throw them away!" Tang Ziyang said as he picked up the shrimps on the ground and put them into an iron bucket, then took the bucket to the pond to dump it out.
"Wait!" Jiang Yue's eyes lit up when he saw the crayfish crawling all over the ground. Just when he was thinking about improving the food, this came!
"Third brother, you've skipped school today anyway. You'll get beaten if you go to school now. Why don't you go catch some crayfish!" At this moment, Jiang Yue had already thought of a way to get rich.
