After that, Yan Fugui was completely confused. He had no idea how he had moved the newly bought vegetables into the car and was immersed in sorrow.
Seeing Yan Fugui like this, the third aunt and Yan Jiecheng could only help Yan Fugui to sit on the tricycle first. After a long while, Yan Fugui finally came to his senses.
"Tell me...what bad luck did I have today! It would be better for me not to exchange with that person. Why did I go through so much effort and get scolded by the guy in the wide-brimmed hat." Yan Fugui was so upset that he was about to cry.
"No, I have to find the person just now to exchange my vegetables back!" Yan Fugui said as he jumped off the tricycle.
But after coming down, Yan Fugui found that the person had disappeared long ago, so where could he find him?
"Go home first, you still have to go to work!" The third aunt felt upset when she saw the unpleasant tricycle, but she tried her best to comfort Yan Fugui.
"Why should I go to work like this? Can I continue working?" Yan Fugui said dejectedly. Just looking at the dishes in his car, he knew that he couldn't find anyone to change them for him this time.
Seeing that things had come to this point, Yan Jiecheng could only push the tricycle home.
Yan Fugui and the three aunts followed behind with sighs.
When Yan Fugui got home, others were already tending to the cabbages in the yard.
"Teacher Yan, why did you come back just now? I have almost finished everything." Old Mrs. Qin asked. Recently, Old Mrs. Qin has been on a good relationship with the Yan family, mainly because Old Mrs. Qin promised to find a wife for Yan Jiecheng.
"Oh, something delayed me." Yan Fugui was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to change to better dishes but ended up replacing them with a bunch of worse ones.
"Teacher Yan has to go to school soon. When I finish here, I will come over to help you with it. This way it will be faster." Old Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
Although Old Madam Qin was a rude and unreasonable person, she was quite good at building relationships. Before long, everyone in the courtyard had a good relationship with Old Madam Qin. She was much better than Jia Zhang, who made herself hated by everyone.
"No, no, I won't go today. We can finish this work in a while." Yan Fugui waved his hands repeatedly. If it were normal, Yan Fugui would be eager for Old Lady Qin to come and help with some work.
But now Yan Fugui was afraid that others would find out what he had done, mainly because he was afraid of being embarrassed, so he refused again and again.
Seeing Yan Fugui's firm refusal, Old Lady Qin didn't say much, but smiled and said, "Okay, if you need anything, Teacher Yan, just let me know."
"Okay, okay, okay." Yan Fugui responded with a few words and hurried home.
"What do we do with these vegetables? We can't just pile them on the cart all the time." Yan Jiecheng came into the room and asked.
Yan Fugui thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Let's move it into the house first and put it under the house, then I'll think of a way."
Yan Fugui still refused to give up doing some tricks, mainly because he had suffered too much loss.
"Are you still going to take care of this dish?" asked the third aunt.
"Put it aside for now. I'll think about it." Yan Fugui said with a frown.
"That's fine."
After saying this, the third aunt went out and went to move the vegetables into the house with Yan Jiecheng.
"I have to go to work. It's almost afternoon and I don't want to miss a day of work." After helping to move the vegetables, Yan Jiecheng said hello and ran away.
Yan Fugui sat in the room in silence, sighing and wondering what to do about this matter. He thought about it for an entire afternoon but still couldn't figure out what to do.

Sha Zhu didn't sleep all night, and fell into a deep sleep when he returned home in the morning. When Yi Zhonghai came back, he entered the room and called him twice but he didn't wake up, so he just let him be.
It was not until noon that Shazhu finally got up in a daze.
"Oh, it's already this late. Oh no." Sha Zhu glanced at the time and realized that he had been absent from work today. Since there was no small kitchen in the steel rolling mill canteen, Sha Zhu could only help cook a big pot of food. If he didn't go, this job would definitely have to be shared by other people.
Sha Zhu thought about it and decided that it was already this late, so he just lay down again and dozed off for a while before getting up.
After getting up, Sha Zhu washed his face with some water and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Auntie, where is my uncle?" asked Sha Zhu.
"He went to work a long time ago, why are you at home, Zhuzi?" an aunt asked curiously, because she also heard Xu Damao say in the morning that Sha Zhu had sneaked back early. She thought that after they went out to buy groceries, Sha Zhu went to work at the steel rolling mill.
"If I'm not at home, where else would I be? I didn't sleep last night and ended up oversleeping. A-choo!" Sha Zhu said as he sneezed.
"This guy made me freeze last night. I should have worn more clothes." Sha Zhu complained to the aunt.
"Don't catch a cold, will you? Drink some hot water quickly." said an old lady.
"It's okay. With my physique, I'll be fine soon." Sha Zhu said.
"Zhu Zi, were you queuing there last night? But why didn't I see you? When everyone went there in the morning, I saw Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian." asked an aunt.
"Don't mention it, it was too cold. I came back in the morning." Sha Zhu said indifferently.
"Hey, Xu Damao said you ran away early last night and didn't even queue up." said an aunt.
"What the hell?" Sha Zhu was immediately confused after hearing what the old lady said. He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Xu Damao said you ran away a long time ago." The aunt thought that Sha Zhu was upset and didn't hear what she said clearly, so she repeated it again.
Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Damao, that bastard, I don't know where he ran off to hide all night last night. Liu Guangtian and I were freezing outside all night. He left in the morning, and I just came back now."
"Then Xu Damao said you ran away!"
"This bastard actually spread rumors about me! Achoo!" Sha Zhu was scolding Xu Damao when he sneezed several times in succession.
"Okay, Zhuzi, don't worry about whether it's a rumor or not. Go home and drink some hot water and sweat." An aunt said with concern.
"Then I'll go back first." Sha Zhu suddenly felt that he did have a cold, so he planned to go back and lie down for a while. Anyway, Xu Damao was not at home and he could not settle the score with him.
After Sha Zhu left, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask Auntie, "Auntie, did the old lady in the backyard buy anything today?"
The aunt had also forgotten about this, but when Sha Zhu suddenly asked her about it, she remembered it.
"Oh, I forgot. Go buy it tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll go to the old lady's place later. It happens that I didn't buy anything myself, so I'll buy the old lady's share as well tomorrow." After saying this, Sha Zhu left Yi Zhonghai's house.
