Qiao Xiaoni turned around and handed the fish to Su Chenhao, "Here, take this. Let's go to the butcher's stall and see if they have any suitable meat."
Su Chenhao took the fish, looked at Old Chen watching them in the distance, nodded slightly to him, and then walked over.
Qiao Xiaoni walked to the meat stall and took a look. There wasn't much pork left today. There was a good piece of pork belly and a few bones on the table.
Old Chen knew they were coming to buy meat when he saw them coming, so he picked up a piece of pork belly and said...
"This piece of meat is excellent; I'll give you a discount."
Su Chenhao said seriously, "Just give us the normal price, not as much cheaper as last time. You have a family to support, how can I take advantage of you every time?"
Old Chen smiled and nodded, "Then I'll give it to you at the normal price, and you can take the remaining bones home to eat."
Su Chenhao knew that Lao Chen definitely wanted to repay the life-saving grace. In his view, he had simply helped out that day and did not expect anything in return.
Qiao Xiaoni spoke up at this moment, "You can't take the bones for free. I'll be buying meat from you every day from now on. If you keep giving me a discount, you'll lose a fortune!"
"Buying meat every day?" Old Chen asked in surprise, then quickly replied, "What kind of food have you come up with this time?"
They bought a pig's head that day, and the next day they started selling pig's head meat. Seeing how the crowd was scrambling to buy it, it would be a lie for him not to be envious.
Qiao Xiaoni pointed to the newly rented house, "That will be my shop from now on. I plan to make braised noodles, and I'll probably have to buy meat from you every day from now on."
"I see. Well then, congratulations!" Old Chen clenched his fists. "You patronize my business every day, so I reserve the best meat for you and offer you discounts."
"Don't worry, I won't do business that loses money. I still have a wife and kids at home to support!" He laughed sheepishly after saying that.
Su Chenhao said, "I'm relieved to hear that. Weigh the meat and bones, then calculate the cost. We're in a hurry to get home and cook."
Old Chen quickly started weighing the items. "The meat weighs 1.2 jin, and the bones weigh 1.5 jin more than the meat. Just give me four yuan."
Qiao Xiaoni took out the money and put it on the cutting board. After he put the meat in the bag, she took it and handed it to Su Chenhao. She didn't like carrying things.
Su Chenhao accepted it without hesitation, waved to Old Chen, and turned to leave.
Old Chen watched them walk away, muttering to himself.
"You still tell me there's nothing between you, but judging from how well you two are behaving, the truth will come out sooner or later. Let's see how you explain that to me then..."
Qiao Xiaoni couldn't help but think about her exam results. If she passed, she would definitely go to school. Only knowledge can change one's destiny—that's an age-old truth. Having a diploma would make things much easier in the future.
As for how to read the book? We'll just have to study it some more.
"Qiao! Wait a moment." A middle-aged woman's voice rang out behind them.
Qiao Xiaoni turned around and saw that the other person was in his forties, wearing glasses, a black blazer over a white shirt, a midi skirt, and leather shoes.
Combined with what she just said, "Hello, teacher!"
