Chapter 11 Good Things for Having a Boy
Zhao Yunxia cursed in the car: "You guessed what these sisters are thinking, what a crap, what an uneducated thing!"
The ticket seller also said, "Everyone knows what these sisters are thinking. Before Jiaojiao came, everyone thought Shen Junshan was single, and they were the most diligent. The gate of our courtyard was almost broken by trampling."
"That's right."
Zhao Yunxia snorted coldly: "I still remember that the two sisters fought each other for Shen Junshan. At that time, Chen Amin cried so hard and made a scene at home every day. You could hear it across the street."
"I also heard that Chen Amin almost jumped into the river in order to force Chen Xiaoying to withdraw from the competition. Later, Jiaojiao came and they were both dumbfounded."
"Really?"
"Of course. Let me tell you, if Jiaojiao had come a month later, the Chen family would have sent someone to propose marriage to her."
"Really? You said that to Chen Xiaoying, right?"
Everyone in the car started gossiping. They thought Han Jiaojiao didn't understand, and the gossip became louder and louder.
Han Jiaojiao also listened carefully.
Whether Chen Amin jumped into the river or hanged herself, she could not defeat Chen Xiaoying no matter what she did, and instead suffered losses everywhere.
How can a straight guy win against a green tea bitch?
Han Jiaojiao sneered. The green tea bitch wouldn't be able to get anything good against someone as smart as her.
Zhao Yunxia suddenly grabbed Han Jiaojiao's hand and snorted coldly.
"No matter what their family thinks, it's useless. Junshan took the initiative to propose marriage, and he loves Jiaojiao so much."
These words seemed to be spoken to Han Jiaojiao, but in fact they were spoken to everyone in the car.
Everyone talked at once to encourage Han Jiaojiao, telling her to relax and that Shen Junshan would definitely not leave.
She knew that Zhao Yunxia meant well and that most of the others were there to watch the fun. After listening so much, they got tired and pretended to be fools, looking out the window.
The streets were gradually becoming bustling with activity. Zhao Yunxia smiled and said, "We're here! This is the lunch hour!"
Han Jiaojiao got off the car with everyone else.
A cow was led past her and stopped two meters in front of her, and a large mass fell to the ground...
For her, who grew up in the city, it was the first time she saw an irregular cube of feces measuring 20 x 20 centimeters in front of her. Her face turned red with anger...
But everyone is used to it.
Not to mention cows, there are people feeding sheep with grass here. A wild dog ran to the front of the noodle stall, raised its leg and urinated. Everyone still ate with gusto, not caring at all about the smell of urine in the air.
Han Jiaojiao wrapped her clothes tightly and retracted her neck.
I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll bring back excess nutrients.
"Jiaojiao, what do you want to buy this time? Sister-in-law is familiar with this place, I'll take you around!"
"Well... Hey, sister-in-law, look over there, what are they fighting over? A chicken?"
She pointed to a stall not far away.
The place was already surrounded by people.
There were only a few chickens left in the two cages, and the noise of buyers scrambling for them was louder than the sellers' bids.
Zhao Yunxia smiled and said, "Don't you still need tickets to buy chickens and ducks now? This family is related to the breeding team in Chunshan Village, and they breed a lot of them at home."
"Just to grab a chicken, is it that serious? It's like a fight." "You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. We only have half a pound of chicken a month, and there's not much for everyone in the family. If someone is about to have a baby, an elderly person is in the hospital, a child is sick and needs nutrition, or there are weddings and funerals to entertain guests, the tickets we have are not enough. It's really worthwhile to come here and grab a chicken for two or three yuan."
Han Jiaojiao understood from her expression that this family’s chickens were not expensive.
The product is good and the price is low, no wonder everyone is rushing to buy it.
She also noticed that the more difficult the food and clothing items were to obtain, the more popular they were, and people would buy them even at high prices.
Zhao Yunxia saw her staring at that, so she smiled and said, "Want to buy one for your Junshan to take home to replenish his nutrition?"
"No, no, I just think it's new."
"Your family is well-off. Junshan's position was not very good in the past few years, but it will be very popular in the future. You should be nice to him, and you will have a good life in the future."
"Hey, sister-in-law, look, is that a soda bag? Let me treat you to one."
Han Jiaojiao didn't want to listen to any more gossip, so she pulled her to the stall and bought two packets of soda for thirty cents.
It is filled with diced lotus roots and lots of pepper. When you take a bite, the strong aroma of rapeseed oil bursts in your mouth.
She quickly licked the corner of her mouth and swallowed the soup back into her mouth.
After the delicious meal, Han Jiaojiao's mood suddenly brightened. After walking around with Zhao Yunxia for a while, Han Jiaojiao already had a lot of things in her hands.
Two handfuls of wild vegetables, some black fungus, and a big grass carp.
Zhao Yunxia even teased her: "You got up so early just to buy these worthless things? Junshan would cry if he knew."
Han Jiaojiao didn't know how to answer and could only smile awkwardly.
After getting to know the prices while shopping, she realized that wild vegetables and most mountain products were not valuable in the county town.
Usually, you can walk a few steps to the county town and dig it yourself. Some people even grow it in their yards.
As for grass carp, people don't like it because of its strong fishy smell and many bones.
But for Han Jiaojiao, these foods are highly nutritious and expensive. She remembers that a bunch of wild vegetables in the vegetable market in spring cost more than ten yuan per pound.
It's really the gap between the times...
"Jiaojiao, wait for me, let me take a look at this!"
Zhao Yunxia seemed to have found her target. She squatted in front of the stall with a smile on her face. She picked up a piece of wood-like object in surprise and said with a smile: "This is it! I heard that if you eat it, you will definitely give birth to a boy!"
"You have a really good eye. I just dug this up yesterday. It's still fresh. If you want it, take it for 200 bucks!"
"Two hundred? I heard others say fifty!"
Zhao Yunxia secretly covered her pockets.
She heard from someone in the delivery room that eating this would help her give birth to a boy, so she spent fifty yuan to buy it.
When she heard the price of two hundred yuan, her face turned pale.
Han Jiaojiao almost died of laughter.
"Uncle, can eating licorice help you conceive a boy?"
"What did you say, little girl?" The uncle's face turned pale.
Han Jiaojiao broke off a little and put it in her mouth. She took a bite and spit it out. "It's probably 20-year-old licorice. The ingredients are good, but it's too much to say that eating it can help you conceive a boy, right?"
Zhao Yunxia was confused: "Jiaojiao, what is licorice?"
"It's a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. It can replenish qi, clear away heat and detoxify, and relieve cough and pain. It's very good licorice, but the price is... five yuan. If you sell it, I'll take it. If you don't sell it..."
Han Jiaojiao said coldly: "You know that selling fake goods to cheat people out of money is a bigger crime than speculation and profiteering, right?"
It is now the late 1970s. Although the economy has been much more relaxed, anyone over the age of ten knows how severe the crackdown on speculation was at that time.
"Girl, you are a ruthless person! I am unlucky to meet you today!"
