The next morning, Lin Qingyu went to the supply and marketing cooperative early and opened the door.
Feng Weiguo arrived shortly afterward. For such a big event as the opening, a string of firecrackers should be set off.
With the crackling sound, all the children in the village ran over.
They had never experienced such a big event as the opening of a supply and marketing cooperative, and they just thought it was fun. They didn't expect that as soon as they arrived at the scene, they would see Zhao Xiaobao eating Chongyang cake.
Children are naturally greedy and stared intently at the Chongyang cake, drooling.
Almost no families know how to make this kind of thing, mainly because there's no food.
Gradually, more and more people came, including people from the neighboring village.
I advertised it a few days ago, and today is the grand opening day with discounts on everything.
When the adults saw Zhao Xiaobao eating Chongyang cake, they assumed that it was also sold.
"Little girl, how much is the Double Ninth Cake?"
An older woman, holding the hand of a five- or six-year-old girl, asked Lin Qingyu somewhat reservedly.
"Auntie, this isn't for sale; it's something my family made ourselves."
He looked at the little girl again and handed her the Chongyang cake that he had prepared for breakfast from the counter.
"It's yours!"
The older woman quickly pulled the little girl aside and said, "Quickly thank the big sister!"
The little girl timidly thanked them and began to eat the Chongyang cake.
People around saw it and gradually gathered around, especially those from Pear Blossom Village.
"Qingyu! Why haven't I seen you put out the Double Ninth Cake to sell? Why don't you let everyone buy some to try?"
Lin Qingyu wasn't very familiar with the person in front of her, and said indifferently, "I don't think I can bring my family's things to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell, right?"
Seeing that Lin Qingyu's tone was unpleasant, the man gestured with his lip and left.
Only the children were still gazing longingly at Lin Qingyu.
However, Lin Qingyu was busy at the moment and didn't have time to pay attention to these children.
Lin Qingyu finally waited until noon and was about to take a break and have a drink of water when she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative's gate. She then discovered that there were still quite a few children squatting at the entrance of the cooperative.
She understood, locked the door, and went home.
When the children saw Lin Qingyu leave, they were all dejected, and the little ones lowered their heads and prepared to go home.
"Who wants to eat Chongyang cake?"
Before they had gone far, they heard Lin Qingyu's voice coming from her yard.
The children became excited again, running over and staring longingly at Lin Qingyu, but not daring to reach out for her.
Lin Qingyu chuckled and handed out Double Ninth cakes to everyone.
Each child received a piece, though it wasn't much, but it was a kind of comfort in their difficult lives.
The children were very happy, jumping around excitedly as they ate. Zhao Xiaobao stood in the yard, wanting to come out and play but not making any move.
Lin Qingyu encouraged him: "Xiao Bao, would you like to play with everyone?"
Zhao Xiaobao nodded at first, then shook his head.
"If you want to hang out with them, then go out on your own. If you don't want to, then go find Xiao Jie. Aren't you two getting along pretty well?"
Lin Qingyu never forces Zhao Xiaobao to do anything. As long as it's something he doesn't want to do, Lin Qingyu won't force him to do it.
Zhao Xiaobao nodded thoughtfully, and he would often fall silent whenever he saw many children playing together.
After the children finished eating, they dispersed.
The area in front of Lin Qingyu's house returned to its usual quiet and deserted state.
Gu Shi hadn't returned from the county town yet, so Lin Qingyu had lunch with Zhao Xiaobao.
Zhao Xiaobao went to sleep after finishing his meal, but Lin Qingyu still had to go open the door. Having a job really makes a difference.
Before the supply and marketing cooperative's gate was even opened, several people came onto the main road next to it, walking unsteadily.
"Everyone says the supply and marketing cooperative opened today, but I haven't been there yet. Let's buy some more alcohol and have a good drink!"
The person in charge was still relatively lucid and knew that he had come to buy alcohol.
Hearing what the others were saying, Lin Qingyu didn't open the door again; she turned around and walked home.
"Hey! Aren't you the sales clerk? Why are you leaving? Can't you see we guys are here to buy something?"
Lin Qingyu lived relatively close to home and had already entered her own house.
"The door isn't open yet, please wait a moment."
She locked the gate and looked at these people through the door; the leader immediately became unhappy.
"What do you mean? You close the door as soon as you see us guys coming?"
His voice was loud, and Da Huang came out just in time.
Dahuang is usually very well-behaved and rarely barks unnecessarily. Moreover, Dahuang is very healthy and quite large.
The moment Da Huang stepped into the open, you could sense that the men were somewhat afraid.
"What, trying to scare me?"
The leader wasn't afraid; he knew this was the Gu family, and that this group of people were usually ignorant and incompetent.
What bothers her most is being compared to Gu Shi by her family, which makes her resent Gu Shi a lot.
He pounded on the door, certain that Gu Shi wasn't home, otherwise he would have come out long ago.
Lin Qingyu was too lazy to pay attention to these people. Zhao Xiaobao was woken up and ran out of the house.
"Aunt, what happened?"
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, still a little confused.
Once the group realized Lin Qingyu's identity, some of them immediately wanted to back out.
"Boss, I have something to do at home, so I can't drink with you today!"
"Yeah, boss, my family's waiting for me for lunch, so I'm off too!"
...
One by one, the group of people left, leaving only the leader standing at the door.
Lin Qingyu comforted Zhao Xiaobao and ignored the people outside.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaobao suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the doorway in horror.
"Ah! What are you doing?"
Lin Qingyu turned her head and saw that the leader had kicked open the door and rushed straight in.
The man had a shaved head and a scar above his left eyebrow, which made him look even more fierce.
"What are you doing? I'm coming in here to do your thing! I haven't even tasted Gu Shi's woman yet!"
The bald man ran to Lin Qingyu's side in a few strides. Lin Qingyu didn't even have time to run into the house. She could only shield Zhao Xiaobao behind her.
"Calm down. I still have some money here, I can give it to you, just don't do anything reckless!"
As Lin Qingyu backed away, she tried to figure out how to escape, while Da Huang kept barking in the yard.
Zhao Xiaobao poked his head out from behind Lin Qingyu and cursed angrily, "You bad guy, I'll let my dog bite you to death!"
After saying that, he actually went to the yard to release the yellow dog. Lin Qingyu couldn't stop him, and Zhao Xiaobao was picked up by the bald man.
"You little brat, what did you say? You want to unleash the dogs on me?! Aaaaah!"
Zhao Xiaobao bit the bald man's arm with all his might, and the bald man's arm immediately bled.
The bald man viciously tried to throw Zhao Xiaobao to the ground, but Lin Qingyu found a shovel somewhere and slapped it directly behind the bald man.
The bald man's hand suddenly lost its grip, and Zhao Xiaobao fell from his grasp.
Big Yellow kept barking, and people nearby heard the noise and came over.
