Chapter 227
Old Mrs. Chen was a pushover. Just as she was thinking about it, Feng Changxi straightened up, put one hand on his waist, and waved the other hand.
Great passion:
"A tractor will come to collect the vegetables at 6:30, so please wrap the baskets with straw and rags.
Don't let it get frozen.
As soon as we sell this batch of vegetables, we will split the money with the money from selling mushrooms, so that everyone can have a prosperous New Year.
From today to the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a big market for three consecutive days.
If you want to go, you can take a tractor with us later and we’ll drop you off at the forest farm gate, free of charge.”
Seeing that everyone was about to make a fuss, Feng Changxi quickly added.
“Even though it’s free, don’t rush in and sit there. There’s not enough space for so many people.
It also makes people laugh, especially the older ones.
Our team's ox carts will also go there during these three days, two ox carts per day.
If there is no room to sit, the younger ones can just walk."
Whether you are rich or poor, everyone wants to have a good New Year. The New Year atmosphere in Northeast China is still very strong at this time.
The most important thing about Chinese New Year is the sense of participation. The whole family buys New Year's goods together, slaughters the New Year pig, and steams tofu.
Pasting the tent, thorough cleaning, making lanterns, wealthy families making new clothes for their children, etc.
Especially buying New Year's goods, that is definitely the favorite of old ladies.
Knowing that the big market would start today, everyone was ready to go and waited at the brigade center early.
Prepare to jump onto the tractor at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Old Mrs. Chen had a scarf wrapped around her head, cotton gloves on, and a clay basket slung over her arm.
There were two bags in the earthen basket.
Standing at the front, he stared at the entrance of the brigade without blinking.
She would be the first to climb on the tractor as soon as it started to move.
Wu Fenfang pulled the scarf on her head, poked her, and asked mysteriously:
"Aunt Chen, please tell us how much money did your Xiaoyi get?
There are three spies to catch, there can’t be less, right?
Come on, tell me, everyone is waiting impatiently."
She was known for being the fastest gossipmonger and having the most up-to-date information, but she had never been able to find out anything about this matter.
She was so anxious that her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
Before Old Lady Chen could speak, Jiang Chunrong, who was standing beside her, curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
He sneered disdainfully, "It's pointless to ask her, what can she know?
I talk about Xiaoyi’s milk every day.
Do people treat her as a milk?
They're divorced, so everyone knows each other. They just want to save face and pretend for us.
Hey, Aunt Chen, why are you glaring at me?
I didn't say that, it was your eldest daughter-in-law who said it. If you have the ability, go find her!"
It’s amazing, Jiang Chunrong’s expression is so mean.
In the end, he tried to pass the buck and find fault with everyone. Just forget about the search. What he said made people angry.
Old Lady Chen first glanced at Shi Lanhua secretly, then turned to look at Jiang Chunrong with a very cold expression:
"I won't argue with you, you can say whatever you want."
"My precious granddaughter will be here soon. If you have the guts, tell her in person. Do you dare?"
It is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Dare you? Seeing Jiang Chunrong subconsciously take a half step back and tremble, you can tell that he doesn't dare.
The rural old ladies are not afraid of fighting and are even very excited, but Chen Qingyi is playing tricks.
Now they are still afraid of mice!
The psychological shadow of so many people.
But Jiang Chunrong was also a person who refused to admit defeat. He felt that he had lost face, and he still spoke stubbornly to the coward.
"I, I'm not afraid. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Who cares about that little bit of money?"
"Humph, it's only two hundred yuan at most, you think everyone has it."
Old Mrs. Chen remained calm and collected, "You still have two hundred at home? Bragging is tax-free, and you don't want it!"
If you don’t care, why did you steal my package last time?
If you don't pick it up, would you know that the package is full of cloth?
You keep your eyes on everyone in our family every day. Your own family is so miserable, but you keep staring at others every day.
Let me tell you, poverty limits your imagination, and you are given five hundred.
A full five hundred!!
Are you angry?"
If you knew it was two thousand five, this old woman would have exploded on the spot with anger.
After saying this, Old Lady Chen gouged out her eyes at Shi Lanhua again, cursing her inwardly as a troublemaker. She would wait until after the New Year to see if she didn't deal with her.
It exploded, and everyone counted on their fingers, trying to calculate how much money Chen Qingyi had.
Thanks to Zhao Jiarou, the whole team knew that Yang Shuting gave Chen Qingyi five hundred yuan, plus this five hundred.
Wow, at such a young age, he already has a thousand yuan.
Everyone's eyes turned red with envy.
"Oh, Aunt Chen, your most precious granddaughter, didn't she buy you something or give you some money to spend?"
Qian Hongying felt a little jealous, and she couldn't hide the envy, jealousy and hatred on her face.
Thinking of the last time she went to Chen's house to borrow cloth and was kicked out by Zhao Xiangmei, she became sarcastic.
Old Mrs. Chen looked her up and down, curled her lips, and imitated the tone of her voice.
"Oh, who was it? Isn't this the former captain's wife who poisoned her daughter-in-law with rat poison?"
"What's up? Are you feeling better? Can you go out for some fresh air?"
"Even after all this, you still can't speak. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll treat everyone to a feast next time."
"You?" Qian Hongying pointed at Old Lady Chen with trembling hands, her chest heaving with anger.
Like a hen with its neck pinched, unable to speak.
Others also looked at Old Lady Chen with admiration. This old lady is becoming more and more powerful now, and she is not afraid of facing more than one at a time.
It also hits people's heart directly.
Daughter-in-law, rat poison, former captain's wife, poor health, feast.
Just these three short sentences.
What he said were all the most painful things in people's hearts.
Old Mrs. Chen was very proud, raised her eyebrows, and scolded the man who had fallen on hard times, "You are the only family that has money to go to the market?
Do you still have money for medicine?
Don’t spend your money carelessly. Save it for your fourth son to get married.
Oops, oops, I forgot, your family has two hundred yuan left by the spies, and another hundred yuan in subsidies from above.
Come on, come on, if you have money, let’s go to the show together.”
Go away, I'm not in the mood for that. Qian Hongying rushed back home with red eyes.
After a round of throwing things around and cursing, Wu Youde got so angry that he came out and slapped her in the face.
He yelled at Wu Laosi a few more times.
The entire Wu family was in chaos again, and it was suffocating to watch.
"Xiaoyi, do you want to ride a tractor?"
When the last basket of vegetables was loaded onto the car, Feng Changxi asked her at the entrance of the brigade office, "If you want to sit, get on now."
"I won't sit, let them sit. I need to go to the county to buy some things, and I don't know what time I will be back.
It’s more convenient to ride a bicycle.”
"Then find a place to store your bike so it doesn't get lost again. There are a lot of thieves during the New Year, so why not go to the market?"
"You can't throw it away. I'll leave it in the police station yard and go to the market tomorrow."
Feng Changxi: “……!!” He really knows how to find a place, it’s really bad.
Chen Qingyi first went home to change her clothes and put on a hat, scarf, and gloves.
"Mom, please make me some more sugar triangles."
"I understand." Zhao Xiangmei didn't have to worry about the New Year's goods at home.
Everything is available here, you just need to make some bean buns, steamed buns and the like at home.
"Be careful out there."
Chen Qingyi nodded and moved closer to Zhao Xiangmei.
"Mom, my grandma's been doing great lately, and my grandpa's been playing consistently. It's New Year's, and I'm thinking..."
"You can buy it as you like." Zhao Xiangmei said before she finished speaking. It's the child's own money, so just don't spend it recklessly.
She doesn't care what you do.
The Chinese New Year is meant to buy things for the elderly.
"Okay then..." She didn't favor one over the other. After thinking about the things in the space, she came up with an idea.
Prepare the same one for grandma's house.
Old Mrs. Chen didn't know that great wealth was about to befall her, and she was still talking nonsense on the tractor.
