Chapter 27
Buy, buy, buy "Oh, the old saying is right, the dog that bites doesn't bark, it's true, the girl from your second brother's family usually looks very well-behaved.
Obedient and sensible.
But what do you think?
It makes me angry just thinking about it!
He was full of ulterior motives, but he kept silent and boiled so many eggs!
Your mother can’t do anything to her.”
When she heard that so many eggs were cooked at once, she didn't believe it at first.
Who can be so wasteful and unable to make ends meet?
Or is it true that men are repetitive and can even see the egg shell?
Chen Changhai: ...Not only was there nothing I could do, I didn’t even dare to say a harsh word.
Xiang Hong rubbed her belly and glared, ignoring the man, and continued: “This girl took our eggs to make a name for herself.
In your Chen family, I'm afraid everyone except your mother is grateful to her!
Thank her for letting them eat the eggs.
Oh, and we also split the money.”
Xiang Hong was in a bad mood and rolled her eyes again and again, and the pupils in her eyes were almost invisible.
Chen Qingyi, who was eavesdropping, clicked her tongue twice and pouted.
What do you mean by their eggs? How shameless!
Originally, she had too many things to do and temporarily forgot about them, but since she took the initiative to talk nonsense.
Then she won't be polite.
It must be cleaned up within three days, with heavy bleeding.
Chen Qingyi was impatient to listen to the ungrateful remarks of the couple and stopped following.
Turn around and look for the target.
This lady is not good. She has triangular eyes and drooping eyebrows. She looks unreasonable.
The young wife was no good either, with a look of sorrow on her face.
It's obvious that he's feeling depressed at home and can't make his own decisions.
At this time, a woman wearing a cadre uniform, with short hair and pushing a bicycle caught people's attention.
This is a big fish.
He walked over generously and greeted with a smile, "Cousin, are you going out?"
The woman didn't react for a moment and answered subconsciously, "Ah, I want to... go out."
"Is my cousin home?"
woman:……? ? ?
Is she sick? Who is this person? She doesn’t know him!
Chen Qingyi was thick-skinned and pretended not to understand, then continued with a smile, "This is not the brigade distributing some meat, my mother said that my cousin and his wife have taken care of me for so many years.
I brought it here early in the morning to add some oil and water to your meal.
It’s not a lot of meat, but it’s just a token of my appreciation. Please don’t refuse it, cousin!”
Decline? You're kidding, this is meat.
The woman didn't understand anything at this time, and a big smile immediately appeared on her face.
It was too intimate: "Isn't this Goudan? You've changed so much in these years that my cousin's wife almost didn't recognize you.
Your cousin is not here; he went to work.
I'm on the late shift today and was just about to go out when you happened to come.
Come on, come home, it's so hot out here, it's tiring for you to run all the way here."
He welcomed people home with an eager look on his face.
He is also a talented actor.
Chen Qingyi complained in her heart, you are the idiot, your whole family is idiot.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the yard, many neighbors came in and stared at her.
The lady with lively eyes suddenly came out, looking inquiring:
"Xiao Lu, who is this? Why haven't I seen this person before?"
A pair of rat eyes rolled around, glancing straight at the basket on his back, as if he couldn't wait to grab it.
"Auntie Li, are you doing the laundry? This is my cousin Guodong from the countryside.
It’s been a few years since I last came here, come and check it out.”
When the people in the yard heard that it was a relative, they lost interest. They thought that he was a poor relative from the countryside, so they might as well give him some tacky food.
Here to take advantage of the situation.
They have seen a lot of things like this, so it's not surprising.
Aunt Li was also a little disgusted. She gave Chen Qingyi a fierce look and continued to wash clothes and talk nonsense.
Chen Qingyi was speechless. What did it have to do with her? Why was he rolling his eyes at her?
Chen Qingyi walked into the house and took down the basket without even looking at it: "Sister Lu, look, it's wild boar meat.
It’s so fresh.”
Then talk about the price.
"so much?"
Lu Guihua exclaimed, her smile became even brighter, and she couldn't help but admire:
"Little brother, you are really capable. I have never seen such meat in all these years.
I won’t beat around the bush with you.
I have many relatives and they want a lot. Can you give me a discount?"
"How much do you want?" Chen Qingyi didn't want to waste time.
In fact, she doesn’t like selling things very much. She can’t be as enthusiastic as others. She just likes to buy, buy, buy.
Lu Guihua calculated that the weight of each family, including her husband's family and her own family, including all the aunts and uncles, was at least two kilograms.
"How about thirty pounds?"
"Okay, five cents off per pound." Chen Qingyi nodded, but was afraid that she would bargain again, so she added another sentence.
"It's the lowest point. It's not easy to go up the mountain."
"Okay." Lu Guihua was very happy. One pound and five cents is one dollar more, and she can save two pounds of meat!
His hands kept moving, rummaging in the basket.
Lu Guihua didn't want to attract attention, so she picked quickly and quickly picked out ten pounds of fat meat and five pounds of pork belly.
Fifteen pounds of lean meat.
She wanted fat meat, but there was no good one.
"Little brother, do the math. Sixteen dollars and seventy cents, right? How about I give you eleven dollars and tickets for the rest?"
"Okay." Chen Qingyi nodded. There were many things missing at home, so she would be happier to get the tickets.
Lu Guihua took out another small stack of bills and said, "Take a look."
Chen Qingyi pointed out the items without hesitation: kerosene tickets, soap tickets, salt tickets, sesame oil tickets, and match tickets.
There were actually three or two sugar tickets and one thermos pot ticket.
They are all useful, and they are quite good at dealing with people. "I took advantage of my sister."
Seeing that she was satisfied, Lv Guihua smiled and said, "Well, it doesn't matter whether you take it or not. Just think of me next time you have something good.
My sister's name is Lv Guihua and she works at the train station.
You can find me there."
Chen Qingyi was delighted. She had been afraid of going to Yun Province, which was so far away. She had no connections and would suffer from not being able to buy a sleeper berth!
Here it comes.
The more happy my heart is, the happier my face will be.
He readily agreed: "Okay, I have some eggs and an old hen saved at home. I'll come back in a few days."
This relationship must be maintained well.
After leaving Lu's house, Chen Qingyi went to a few more houses and sold all the meat.
She quickly changed her clothes, removed her makeup, and went to the second department store to spend all the money.
Every brigade here has a supply and marketing cooperative, but the items sold in the village supply and marketing cooperative are limited.
For example, there are only red and white cloth.
There are two types of sugar: brown sugar and orange peel sugar.
The only snacks are peach cakes, the rest are needles, thread, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the commune was called the Second Department Store, which had a more comprehensive range of items, at least including tiaozi cakes, fruit jelly, prawn cakes, and thermoses.
Floral fabrics, laundry detergent, etc.
And farm tools.
But there are almost no valuable items like watches, radios, bicycles, and sewing machines.
Go to the county department store to buy it.
Arriving at the Second Department Store, he ran to the counter selling thermos bladders and said, "Comrade, please give me a thermos bladder."
"Thermostat bladder is one dollar and twenty-eight cents each, plus a ticket."
The salesperson put down the sweater she was knitting and spoke in a neutral tone.
Chen Qingyi didn't care. She took it, put her ear to the mouth of the thermos, and was very satisfied when she heard the buzzing sound.
After buying everything, I saw some kids eating popsicles when I was about to leave.
She returned it and bought ten more.
The ordinary one costs two cents.
One third of a red bean.
Buy five of each.
She threw it into the thermos without worrying about it melting. She is really smart.
