In order to prevent being followed, Du Jiang walked towards the town entrance after receiving the money. During the walk, he turned left and right and changed directions countless times. After confirming that no one was following him, he found a remote place to take out the chickens, ducks and eggs and put them into the backpack.
After confirming his return, Du Jiang returned to the pavilion behind the hospital, where Nurse Sun had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at Du Jiang who was a few minutes late, his face turned pale because of nervousness, "You are here. I was shocked when I couldn't wait for you just now. I thought you..."
"Sorry," Du Jiang said with an apologetic smile, "I had a lot of stuff, and I was carrying the child, so I walked a little slowly." Then she gently put down the basket on her back, "Sister Sun, look, it's all here."
"What's there to see? You can't lie to me." Although she said she trusted him, Nurse Sun still stepped forward and pulled aside the covering to take a look. Seeing the white flesh underneath, the smile on her lips completely disappeared. "No problem."
Then he took out the agreed money from his pocket and handed it to Du Jiang, "Take a sip. If there is no problem, I will go back first."
"Okay," Du Jiang quickly said the money again, and nodded after confirming that it was correct, "No problem, thank you Sister Sun."
"Don't be polite, you've helped me. Well, I'll be leaving first. Come back to me if you have anything good in the future," Nurse Sun said as she walked out carrying a backpack with a smile on her face.
Although he was missing a backpack, Du Jiang was still extremely satisfied when he touched the thick stack of money in his pocket. He turned around and walked out without stopping.
On the other side, Yu Chunxiao, who had just delivered the steamed buns, was also walking towards Du Yingying's house. Perhaps she was worried that Du Jiang would not act quickly enough, so she walked very slowly.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived, Du Jian also rushed over. Seeing Du Jiang empty-handed, Yu Chunxiao knew without asking that she must have made a move, otherwise she would not have come here empty-handed. But even after knowing this, Yu Chunxiao was still frightened, "Sister Jiang, you..."
"It's almost noon, let's make it quick." Although he had never been there before, Du Jiangliao had memorized Du Yingying's house number the last time he bought watermelon. "Let's go."
"Knock~"
He raised his hand and knocked lightly. After a few sounds, the door was slowly opened from the inside.
Looking at that familiar face, Du Jiang was a little dazed, but still subconsciously smiled, "Sister Yingying."
"Du Jiang," Du Yingying was also stunned for a second when she saw the newcomer, but her long-standing hospitality made her smile as well, "Come in quickly, what brought you here?"
Looking at the two people walking side by side and talking in front, Yu Chunxiao followed silently behind.
In the living room
"Why are you here today? I haven't seen you for a long time. This is your son Xingle, right?" Du Yingying looked at the little head with its back to her curiously as she watched Du Jiang carefully lift up his coat. "He looks like he's still sleeping. We should put him on the bed inside."
"No, I'll just sit for a bit and leave," Du Jiang shook her head and refused. "Sister Yingying, I'm really sorry for bothering you this time. The thing is, Chunxiao and I are making steamed buns and we're short of some white flour. I wonder if you have any extra."
Du Yingying had heard a little about Yu Chunxiao and Du Jiang's steamed bun business from Du Jiaming, and immediately understood what they were looking for. "Oh, I see. I do have some, but I don't know how many pounds you want."
"Thirty kilograms," Du Jiang thought for a moment and came up with a figure. "I'm not sure how to calculate the price, Sister Yingying. We need this for a long time, so I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you again in the future."
"It's not a big deal. After all, I have to sell my things." Du Yingying then quoted a price that was exactly the same as the market price.
Hearing this, Du Jiang nodded in understanding, "Okay, let's take 30 kilograms first. If possible, we can also borrow a backpack or flour bag from Sister Yingying. We didn't bring everything we needed when we came out."
Du Yingying didn't refuse this request. "Okay, just bring it over next time you come over." She stood up and walked to the next room. After a while, she came out with a small bowl of noodles to take away and placed it on the coffee table. "Here are 30 kilograms. There's a backpack in the yard. I'll get it for you."
"No need, Sister Yingying, I'll get it." Seeing Du Yingying about to leave, Yu Chunxiao quickly stood up to stop her. "Is it the one next to the well in the yard?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Okay, I'll get it. Sister Yingying, you and Sister Jiang sit for a while," said Yu Chunxiao and walked out impatiently.
The two people in the room couldn't help laughing as they watched her hurried back.
"She still has the same personality and hasn't changed over the years," Du Yingying said with some emotion as she looked at Yu Chunxiao's back.
"Yes, it has never changed." Du Jiang agreed with this and then took out a big unity note from his pocket and handed it to Du Yingying, "Sister Yingying, this is the money for the flour."
"Wait a moment, I'll give you change."
After Du Yingying gave Du Jiang the change, Yu Chunxiao came in with a backpack, "Sister Yingying, Sister Jiang, I got it back."
"Well, let's go back." Du Jiang glanced at the sky outside and stood up to say goodbye. "It's almost noon, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Yes, it's almost noon, and the prefect will be back soon, so I won't keep you two here any longer," Du Yingying got up and sent the two of them to the door before turning around and going home.
On the way back, Yu Chunxiao chattered non-stop, and Du Jiang listened with a few "hmm" sounds from time to time, which really touched his heart.
Only after reaching the village did Yu Chunxiao calm down and sigh, "Sister Yingying's life is getting better and better. All those years didn't let her slack off at all."
"Yes, she looks fragile, but she's actually very strong," Du Jiang agreed. "People should look forward to the future, and she's doing a great job."
"Indeed, I don't dwell on the sadness of the past, and I don't blame myself for certain things." Yu Chunxiao sighed, comparing herself to him. "If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it so smoothly."
"No, you're very strong too." Listening to Yu Chunxiao's self-pity, Du Jiang didn't quite agree. "You're better than most girls. By the way, let me tell you something that will make you happy. The price difference between those eggs and chickens and ducks is nearly two yuan."
"What"
Yu Chunxiao couldn't believe what he heard, exclaiming in surprise one second and covering his mouth the next. However, Du Jiang's expression didn't seem fake, so he could only stare at Du Jiang with his round eyes in surprise. When he saw Du Jiang nod affirmatively, he was speechless.
When they reached the door, Yu Chunxiao clenched his fists and looked at Du Jiang, saying firmly, "Sister Jiang, I will listen to you from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to go west, I will never go east."
