Chapter 12 Chapter 12
Today's food sold out very quickly. When He Tingting closed the stall, it was still light outside. She said hello to Guo Zhuang and left.
When she arrived near her home, He Tingting saw someone coming out of her house from afar.
It's already dark now.
Dusk was about to sink into the horizon. He Tingting could only make out that it was a man, but she had no idea who it was.
Second Aunt is the only one at home. Is someone looking for her?
"Second Aunt, we're back. Who was here just now?"
Li Hua didn't expect them to come back so soon. He shuddered with fear. "Who else could it be? That bastard He Guan."
After coming to his senses, Li Hua stood up awkwardly.
While He Tingting was washing pots and dishes, she was helping out.
This was the first time in two days that Li Hua came to the kitchen to help. He Tingting secretly glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and felt that her second aunt seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Li Hua did have something to say.
He hesitated for a long time, and only opened his mouth to ask after all the pots and pans were washed.
"How's your stall going today?"
He Lili collected all the money today and immediately came over with a smile, "Sales are booming. My sister's cooking is delicious, and everyone is willing to support her."
When he heard that the product was selling well, Li Hua became even more eager to try it.
"Tingting, Auntie has something to discuss with you."
Whenever the discussion begins with this sentence, it is not a good thing.
He Tingting was mentally prepared.
"Second Aunt, go ahead."
"Well, that bastard came to discuss a divorce with me today. He agreed to divorce me, but on one condition: I have to pay him two hundred dollars."
Having said that, Li Hua looked at He Tingting's expression.
"You know my aunt's situation. All the money in the family was squandered by that man. I can't come up with these 200 yuan right now."
Borrowing money from younger generations is a very shameful thing. Li Hua felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
"Tingting, I want to borrow some money from you. I will definitely pay you back when I go to work."
Since she said so, Tingting should lend it to her, right?
Li Hua stared at He Tingting nervously.
Little did she know that He Tingting didn't have 200 yuan in her hand at all.
"Second Aunt, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you."
As soon as he started to speak, Li Hua's heart sank.
"You know my family's situation well. The little money left after my parents died was swindled away by my second uncle, and some was spent on the funeral, so there's not much left. I haven't made even 200 yuan in two days of setting up the stall. If you really want to borrow money, I can lend you 100 yuan first."
Li Hua's face was burning.
Yes, Tingting’s family is also in financial difficulty, where would we get the money to lend her?
She was also bewitched by the bastard He Guan, so she thought of borrowing money from the little girl.
"It's okay, just keep your money. You shouldn't have given money to that bastard He Guan in the first place. I can still get a divorce even if I don't give him money."
Li Hua said this and went into the west room.
Adults need some space of their own. He Tingting did not disturb her and made the sign promised to the fruit shop owner in the yard.
The little girl helped her collect money all day and was exhausted.
He Tingting asked her to go to the house to rest first and prepared to make some delicious food to reward her.
Today, you have only completed one task, which is signing in. You will only have one chance to win the lottery.
Only then did He Tingting look at the task list carefully.
Apart from signing in, the rest of the tasks are ***** and I can’t see what they are specifically.
Only when she turned to the end did He Tingting see one line clearly.
【Stop He Guan's new plan.】
New plan?
What tricks has He Guan come up with again?
She became alert and decided to pay attention to He Guan's recent actions.
There was only one chance to win the lottery, and He Tingting didn't have much hope, so she just drew it casually.
The color of this blind box is blue, which He Tingting has never drawn before.
[Congratulations on winning the blue blind box - Watermelon]
It turned out to be fruit.
He Tingting took out a melon.
It is a very happy thing to eat watermelon in summer. If the watermelon is ice-cold, the happiness will be doubled.
There is no refrigerator at home, but fortunately there is well water that is very cool even in summer.
He Tingting specially filled a bucket, placed it in a cool place, and soaked the melon in it.
Since she didn’t get any of the dishes in the blind box today, she went out specially before making dinner.
There was a butcher in Jiajia Village who ran a butcher shop in the market in the city.
He Tingting will have to buy pork in the future, so she decided to go there and get to know the boss so that it would be convenient to contact him when buying meat in the future.
The butcher lives at the west end of the village.
Because of raising pigs, there is a manure pit at the door, and the smell can be smelled from a distance.
The door of his house was specially painted vermilion, and there was a light bulb tied to the door, which was on at the moment.
Electricity is very expensive these days.
Ordinary people only keep the lights on for a short while at night and then turn them off and go to bed early.
He Tingting didn't expect to see someone from the butcher's family at the door.
"Hello, is this Butcher Zhang's family?"
It was late at night, and He Tingting was afraid of scaring people, so she made some noise in advance and said hello.
The person who turned around was a girl who looked about the same age as He Tingting.
"Yes, are you looking for my dad?"
"I want to buy some pork."
He Tingting repeated her purpose of coming. The girl turned around and shouted into the house, and a burly bald man hurried out of the house.
"Who wants to buy meat?"
Everyone in the village who lived there knew that he was a butcher.
Butcher Zhang is not at home during the day, so many villagers come to buy meat, all of them at night.
He was used to it, but he was a little surprised when he looked up and saw He Tingting.
This girl looks unfamiliar.
"You want to buy some meat? Which part? Oh, and who are you from? Why do I feel like I've never seen you in this village before?"
He Tingting had been studying away from home with her working father, and many people in the village had rarely seen her.
"I'm from the He family, He Tingting. Does Uncle Zhang have any tenderloin left?"
When he heard that it was from Old He's family, a look of understanding flashed in Zhang the butcher's eyes.
It wasn't easy for that family either. Both parents were gone, leaving only two little girls.
"We still have some tenderloin. How much do you want?"
Nowadays, most people like to eat fatty meat. It makes stir-fried dishes fragrant and the taste of meat can be tasted.
Purely lean meats like tenderloin were far less popular than they are today.
"I want five pounds, do you have it?"
Five pounds, this is not a small number.
Butcher Zhang looked at her again and said, "Yes, do you need so much?"
"It's useful. I sell food."
After hearing these words, Butcher Zhang felt relieved to let the person in.
He looks tough, but he has a kind heart.
He Tingting asked for five pounds of meat, and he silently cut off an extra piece, "Five pieces in total."
He Tingting shook it with her hand and felt that the weight was not right.
She said nothing, but carried the two bags of meat, pretending to be unable to carry them, and turned to the butcher's daughter.
"Excuse me, could you help me carry it?"
Butcher Zhang's daughter usually does a lot of delivery work. Seeing that He Tingting was so thin, she had always wanted to help.
"Okay, I'll help you," she turned around and shouted, "Dad, I'll help take her home."
Butcher Zhang's daughter is also very strong and sturdy.
Things that used to be difficult for He Tingting to lift were now as light as a feather in her hands, very easy to carry.
"Let's go, where is your home?"
She carried both bags of meat as if they were two feathers. He Tingting looked at her with envy and pointed in the direction of home.
"This way."
After waiting for Zhang the butcher's daughter to help her carry the meat home, He Tingting asked her to wait a moment.
Then he hid in the house and took out a melon from the system backpack.
"Sister Zhang, thank you for your hard work. You can take this melon back home and eat it."
It was just a short distance to help her carry some things, so Zhang Juan didn't feel comfortable asking for such a big watermelon and quickly waved her hand to refuse.
He Tingting stuffed it in.
"You're welcome. I'll buy meat often in the future, and I'd like to trouble Sister Zhang to bring it back for me."
After hearing this, Zhang Juan accepted it with some embarrassment.
"Then I won't be polite with you. Come here often in the future and I will bring it back for you."
The watermelon that He Tingting gave away looked like a winter melon.
It is oval in shape and feels heavy when held.
People like Zhang Juan, who are very strong, just carry it on their shoulders to save energy.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say hello to He Tingting.
"He's sister comes here often! I'll go home first."
He Tingting agreed with a smile.
After Zhang Juan left, she went into the vegetable garden at home with a flashlight. The vegetable racks were already full of beans, and now was the time to pick them.
It just so happened that I didn’t get any food in the blind box.
He Tingting plans to use these beans as the main dish tomorrow.

At this time, the small vendors who set up stalls in front of the university also closed their stalls one after another.
Wang Qi had been putting out his steamed buns for a whole day, but he had sold less than ten, and he was feeling very depressed.
Just at this moment, the pancake stall owner who had closed his stall came to ridicule him.
"Old Wang, your business is not doing well. It's been a day, and there are still so many buns left. When the little girl set up her stall, the buns were sold out in half an hour."
Wang Qi was annoyed when he heard this. "Go away! You're still criticizing me. Your business isn't doing well either."
The pancake stall owner's business is indeed not very good.
After thinking about it, it is really boring for two brothers to laugh together.
He squatted down and put his arm around Wang Qi's shoulder, acting like a good brother as usual.
"I'm not saying anything but this little girl is amazing. She's only been here for two days, and she's probably earned more than the two of us would in a week."
"Yeah, I don't know if what she cooks is really that delicious."
When the pancake stall owner heard that he thought so, he immediately agreed.
"Yeah, we're not professional chefs, so how could her food be that good? If you ask me, the pies you sold at your stall a few days ago were more delicious."
Wang Qi was so happy to be praised that he casually stuffed two buns into his hand.
"You have good taste, but it's a pity that I don't have a pretty face, otherwise, how could I have trouble selling these buns?"
The pancake stall owner felt sad when he heard this.
"Brother Wang, can we think of a way to prevent this little girl from being so arrogant and taking all the money away?"
Wang Qi rolled his eyes. "What? Do you have an idea?"
The pancake vendor chuckled and said, "Why don't we take advantage of her influence and promote ourselves as well?"
This sounded interesting, and Wang Qi was happy.
"Tell me about it in detail."
