Chapter 37 Chapter 37 (Minor Repair) Cheng Lei also...
Cheng Lei also saw Wang Jiangang.
He poked Cheng Xin's arm and whispered beside her: "Sister, it's Wang Jiangang and the others."
The ox cart gave off a pungent stench as it passed by. Geng Yunye squinted his eyes in the dust kicked up by the ox cart. He responded calmly, "Their ox cart smells of blood. They might be going to the city to sell wild boars."
Cheng Xin and her aunt exchanged a glance. She had to admit that Wang Jiangang was really lucky. "I didn't expect they would really catch him."
Wang Xiuping touched the wad of change in her pocket and felt much more at ease.
Today, she earned 51.3 yuan from selling corn juice, and her family had an income of more than 70 yuan from selling dried goods. She was so grateful to Cheng Xin that she looked down on the few yuan in dividends from Wang Jiangang and others.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight. Let's have egg pancakes."
No one cared how many pigs Wang Jiangang and his team caught or how much money they sold them for, except Chen Ying who was anxiously jumping up and down at home.
Xu Fengxia took some time to go to the brigade, saying that there was a letter for her. She was a little surprised when she received the letter, because the sender was Liu Cuicui. Since Liu Cuicui got married, the two cousins had never met each other again.
Before Xu Fengxia took out the letter, the sound of a tricycle jingling came from behind her.
Cheng Lei yelled at the top of his voice, "Mom! We're back."
He jumped off the tricycle without waiting for it to brake, showing off his new sandals in front of his mother like a colorful peacock.
Xu Fengxia lifted up his trouser legs and asked, "Did you buy these shoes at the department store?" She gently twisted Cheng Lei's ear and asked, "Did you force your sister to buy them for you because you refused to leave?"
Cheng Lei was so angry that he put his hands on his waist and stamped his feet, "This was bought for me by Brother Geng. He is my brother-in-law from now on!"
Xu Fengxia slapped him on the back and said, "What are you yelling about? Are you afraid that others don't know that your sister is dating someone?"
"I'm not lying!" Cheng Lei rubbed his red ears aggrievedly, "My sister is a serious person and she is definitely going to get married."
Geng Yunye was standing next to the tricycle and heard this, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Wang Xiuping came over holding an enamel basin and said, "Thanks to Xiao Geng's tricycle, the corn juice didn't spill." She pointed to the two large baskets and six large buckets in the tricycle and said, "If we took a bullock cart into the city, it would have been shaken away halfway through the journey."
Cheng Xin felt ashamed and hid behind Geng Yunye. She secretly decided that she would never take her brother out again. Comrade Geng bribed him by buying him a pair of sandals, and he wanted to tell the world about his fate.
Xu Fengxia handed the crumpled letter to her daughter, "Liu Cuicui sent me a letter. Can you take a look at what's written in it?"
Xu Fengxia went to school for a few years, but she hadn't written in so many years that she had long forgotten how to pronounce most of the words.
Cheng Xin quickly finished reading the letter, and Cheng Lei grabbed her arm and insisted on reading it, "Sister, let me see what's in the letter."
Cheng Xin ignored him and folded the letter.
"Aunt Liu urged Yingying to go home in the letter, saying that her brother's marriage had been decided and asked her not to be angry with her family." The main reason why Chen Ying ran to the Cheng family was that her family wanted her to get married.
Chen Ying's hometown has a serious custom of giving betrothal gifts. Three turns and one ring can be omitted, but a betrothal gift of 100 yuan is required. The Chen family's plan is to let Chen Ying find someone to get engaged and receive the betrothal gift, so that her brother can get married.
For some reason, Cheng Xin felt inexplicably relieved when she learned that Chen Ying was going home.
Wang Xiuping took Xu Fengxia's arm and said, "Are your relatives leaving? It just so happens that they all came to my house for dinner tonight. Thanks to our eldest daughter, we not only made back the loss of the corn field, but also had a lot of money left over."
Xu Fengxia was slightly surprised: "Is it selling so well?"
Wang Xiuping smacked her lips and said, "All sold out. Many people asked if your daughter would come to set up a stall tomorrow. They all love the popcorn she makes. My family only has corn left from the fields, and it's not enough for our family. Otherwise, I would like to learn from her."
Who doesn't want to make this money? Unfortunately, you can't turn corn into something out of thin air.
Xu Fengxia once again had a new understanding of her daughter's abilities: "My eldest daughter has a promising future. She is really smart."
Chen Ying ran out of Cheng's house in a hurry and bumped into a group of people who were returning home.
"Aunt, it's bad, the rabbit is about to give birth."
Cheng Xin strode up to her and said, "Are you seeing right? How could it be so fast?"
Chen Ying's eyes flashed with guilt. "I didn't see it wrongly. It's real! The female rabbit was lying on the ground twitching, and her belly was bulging. It means she's about to give birth."
Cheng Xin rushed into the yard, followed by Wang Xiuping and Xu Fengxia.
Cheng Lei was stunned for a few seconds before chasing after him: "Didn't you say there was still half a month left? How come rabbits give birth so quickly?"
The only ones left were Geng Yunye riding a tricycle and Chen Ying standing on the side of the road.
"Brother Geng, I..." Chen Ying showed a shy expression and moved half a step towards the car.
Geng Yunye ignored her advances and said, "There are things piled in the car, and it's only a few steps away from the door, so I won't stop. It will be faster for you to walk back."
Chen Ying didn't want to ride his tricycle, but being rejected in advance by Geng Yunye seemed a little awkward and embarrassed.
She bit her lower lip, her eyelashes trembling rapidly, and raised her arms to block the road. Her eyes were watery but without tears. "Brother Geng, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to ask what you think of the future situation?"
Geng Yunye frowned slightly, his pupils suddenly constricted and then calmed down again, "What can a farmer like me think?"
Chen Ying didn't believe that he had no ambition. In his previous life, he went out to do business not long after getting married, so she had the opportunity to take advantage of him.
"The newspapers have recently been discussing the policy of allowing self-employment, saying that individual economy is a beneficial supplement to the public economy. Don't you have any ideas?"
Geng Yunye remained calm and said, "No, please make way."
Chen Ying's cheeks were sore from biting her teeth, but she continued to persuade him.
"Brother Geng, you have been a soldier and you have experience. Why don't you want to go out and try your luck? When my cousin marries you, you must provide her with material support. You can't let her suffer with you."
Geng Yunye finally looked her in the eye. His gaze was like it had been quenched by fire. "What do you want to say?"
Chen Ying thought Geng Yunye had heard her, so she smiled and said, "I just think that Brother Geng has seen the world and shouldn't stay in the countryside and waste his abilities. Only by making a lot of money can you ensure that your family can live a worry-free life, right?"
Geng Yunye took out a dark blue handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the sweat off his palm. He looked indifferent, his drooping eyelashes hiding the sinister look in his eyes. "Only men who have a family can take root. A career without roots will be blown away by the wind."
Chen Ying's eyes were filled with disbelief. Why did this happen? Geng Yunye was clearly not this kind of person in his previous life. In his previous life, he and Cheng Xin lived apart for a long time after their marriage in order to expand their business territory. How could he become like this?
Chen Ying never thought that Geng Yunye would be reborn. After all, if he were reborn, he would definitely settle the score with her first. At present, it seems that Geng Yunye just hasn't ignited his career ambition yet.
Chen Ying was angry, but she pretended to be concerned about him, and her nails left marks on her palms.
Chen Ying thought of the "three big items" that would become popular in a few years, and deliberately used future standards to stimulate Geng Yunye, "That's not the case. Here, the man's family giving out three zhuan and one xiang is considered a very high-end betrothal gift, but I heard that young people in big cities are starting to ask for TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines as betrothal gifts when they get married. Times have changed a lot."
Geng Yunye rubbed the handkerchief with his fingertips. On it was embroidered a crooked name. It was Cheng Xin's name that he had sewn with his own hands.
His answer made Chen Ying feel deflated. "It is important for a person to know himself. I know I don't have that ability, so I won't envy them."
