"After all, it's all because of you who have no ambition!"
The more Sun Erni thought about it, the angrier she became. She had thought that by finding a city son-in-law she would be able to enjoy some glory, but she had never expected that he was so unappreciated by his family.
But he and Ye Baozhu have already had a real relationship. If they don't get married, Ye Baozhu's life will be over. No matter what, as a mother, she can't just watch her daughter lose her life.
"You guys chose to be useless! Get married tomorrow! It's such a disgrace!"
Zhou Shuimei sat there and listened for a long time before she could not help but speak, her tone full of disdain and impatience. She thought her eldest son and daughter-in-law were smart, but in the end they were fooled. Their family was in trouble this time. Who let the daughter they raised not know how to behave?
"How are we going to hold the wedding tomorrow? We haven't prepared anything yet."
Ye Baozhu grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Sun Erni glared at her fiercely when she heard this. "What are you preparing for? How else do you want to prepare?"
"I'm getting married, so I have to prepare a few tables!"
"Ha! What the hell do you want? You don't think it's embarrassing enough? You want the villagers to point at your nose and laugh at you? Forget it! Just pack up and move away!"
Ye Baozhu pursed her lips in grievance, looking at this person and that person, but no one was on her side, even Gu Wenqing didn't even look at her.
Gu Wenqing naturally didn't want to hold a wedding. It would be a waste of money and embarrassing. He didn't have any relatives or friends here, so there was no point in holding a wedding.
Finally, the matter was settled. The house in the courtyard was given to the two of them as their wedding house, and they lived there first. They paid two yuan to their family every month, and they ate separately, not mixing with their family.
Although neither side was satisfied with the result in the end, the situation could only go this far now, otherwise both sides would suffer losses.
Ye Qing lived a relatively comfortable life in the city. Except for the fact that Yang Zhenzhen annoyed her from time to time, everything else was pretty good.
It turns out that they have been working in the county for five days. They have one day off a week, but due to the special nature of their positions, not everyone can take the day off at the same time. They have to adjust the days off. Ye Qing plans to go home the day after tomorrow.
At noon, when it was time for lunch, Xu Xiaomei and I went to the cafeteria hand in hand to get food. They waited in line for nearly ten minutes before it was their turn.
"Comrade Ye, what would you like to eat?"
Sun Dawei bent down and asked Ye Qing with a smile through the food window.
Ye Qing glanced at today's dishes and smiled, "Give me a portion of braised eggplant, stewed pumpkin, and a steamed bun!"
"Okay!"
Sun Dawei took the lunch box and steadily filled two dishes for her. The lunch box was full without any shaking of his hands. After filling the dishes, he took a steamed bun made of two kinds of dough and placed it on top.
"Comrade Ye, take it."
"Thanks."
As Ye Qing looked at the full box of vegetables, his favorable impression of Sun Dawei soared.
"You're welcome! Next one."
"Little sister, I'll go find a seat first."
Xu Xiaomei nodded, "Okay, I'll come find you after the fight."
Ye Qing looked around and found an empty table at the back. She walked over and saw that Xu Xiaomei had finished cooking. She waved at her and shouted, "Little sister, this!"
Xu Xiaomei walked towards her with a lunch box.
She laughed and said, "This new helper who serves food is really genuine. I hope I can meet him every day in the future. Haha~"
Although other people's servings might not be so filling that they shake three times, they also won't give as much as he does, and no one dislikes this.
Ye Qing also likes him to get food, "Yeah, it's a pity that I can't meet him every time."
The two chatted while eating, and after the meal they went to the sink to wash the lunch boxes.
"Comrade Ye, are you free now? I have something to tell you."
Just as Ye Qing was about to leave, Sun Dawei stopped him.
She nodded, "I'm free, what's up?"
Sun Dawei looked at the people around him and said, "This is not very convenient. Let's go outside and talk."
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment and then said, "Okay."
"Qingqing, I'll go over first, you come find me later."
Seeing that the two had something to say, Xu Xiaomei tactfully left.
"Okay, I'll come find you later."
After Xu Xiaomei left, Ye Qing followed Sun Dawei to a small corner outside the cafeteria.
Sun Dawei rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, "Um, Comrade Ye, I want to ask you for a favor."
"You said, we are all colleagues, I will definitely help if I can."
Ye Qing had a pretty good impression of him, so as long as it wasn't difficult, there was nothing wrong with him helping out.
Sun Dawei was delighted when he heard her say that. "It's like this. My wife is about to give birth. You know you need tickets to buy anything in the city, and the little supply each month is not enough for food. I was thinking that since your family is from the countryside, could you help me exchange some eggs, millet, etc.? I don't have any relatives or friends in the countryside, so I have no choice but to trouble you."
Sun Dawei felt embarrassed as he spoke. He and Ye Qing were just ordinary colleagues, not close friends, but he wanted him to do him such a big favor. If you look at it from a broader perspective, it's no different from profiteering.
Ye Qing thought for a while before saying, "What do you plan to exchange for it?"
"Money. I have nothing else to exchange for it."
City dwellers have to rely on supplies to buy everything. Some things are not enough for their own families, so they only have money.
Ye Qing secretly raised his eyebrows, isn't this a coincidence? He was short of money and didn't dare to go to the black market before, but he could still get this ready-made customer.
"Okay, every family has its own difficulties. My mother just gave birth to my brother a few days ago, and the mother cannot be without nutrition. How much do you want? How much do you want? I can help you find out when I go home in a couple of days."
When Sun Dawei heard that she agreed, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, "Comrade Ye, thank you so much! You are such a good person!"
Ye Qingxiao, who received a good person card, hid his merits and reputation, "You're welcome, we are all colleagues, help each other! Hehe~"
Sun Dawei nodded quickly, "You are right, we should help each other. If you need any help in the county town in the future, just let me know!"
Ye Qing grinned, "Then I won't be polite to you!"
"You are welcome!"
"You haven't told me how much you want."
"Yes, yes, yes. I need about 20 eggs. You can help me. I can handle more or less. I can handle 4 or 5 kilograms of millet. If there is rice or flour, I can take it too. Anyway, please help me find some. It's not easy for you to come here. Just don't tire yourself out!"
Ye Qing nodded.
"I can't give you the ticket. As for the money, eggs are 6 cents each, and fine grains are 20 cents per pound, okay?"
Eggs sold in grain stores are usually 5 cents each, and fine grains like rice and millet are usually 123 cents per pound. But they all need tickets, and there is a fixed amount every month. The price he gave is acceptable, but of course it is normal to double or triple it on the black market.
