After some bargaining, Feng Yijia finally emptied the pockets of both men and got ten dollars as a hush money.
By the way, he ignored Chen Jiao's shame and anger, and his cousin's dark face, and took a ride on the mule cart.
With the clatter of mule hooves, we were almost at Xinglin Village when we met Meng Sheng, who was riding a bicycle back to the village with a lot of bags on his back.
Feng Yijiajia changed his usual taciturn style. While the two of them were nervous in the car, he smiled and greeted the person.
Meng Sheng didn't expect that before he returned to the village, he saw the culprit who kept him awake at night.
He took a deep look at Feng Yijiajia, whose smile made his heart beat faster, and glanced at the two people beside him who obviously looked unhappy. He stopped his bicycle and stepped aside.
He asked casually, "Are you going to the county or the township?"
Chen Jiao was afraid that Feng Yijia would break his promise and talk nonsense, so she quickly answered: "Let's go to the countryside to buy things."
Feng Yixiang also said: "We are in a hurry, let's go back and talk, I'm leaving first!"
As he finished speaking, he cracked the whip hard to make the mule speed up.
The two groups passed each other.
Feng Yijia touched the ten yuan in his pocket, looked at the two people who were like frightened birds, and said nothing more as he felt guilty.
Sit quietly in the mule cart and drive away.
Meng Sheng stood there for a long time, wanting to go to the village, but after looking at the things loaded on the bicycle, he finally got on the bike and continued to ride towards the village.
After one o'clock in the afternoon, the mule cart finally reached the village gravel road, and Feng Yijia got off the cart by the roadside.
Feng Yixiang warned her again not to talk nonsense when she returned, and then drove away.
Feng Yijia curled her lips. She was too lazy to care about what others wanted to do.
He found a place to stand under the shade of a tree with his backpack on his back, waiting for the bus to the county.
By the way, I took out two pancakes that I had baked early in the morning to fill my stomach.
The sauerkraut and pork scraps pie was appetizing, not greasy, and had a nice crunch. Feng Yijia ate it slowly, bit by bit, mixing it with the boiled water he brought with him, and couldn't help smacking his lips to savor the taste.
I was thinking that I would have to buy some flour from the villagers when I got back.
The wheat harvested from her fields in May and June had already been stored in her uncle's granary, and the flour sent by Aunt Xu was gone after it was eaten up.
There are many delicious foods that can be made with flour, and it is indispensable in the kitchen.
There are not many buses from the village to the county, but there are many other types of buses carrying goods.
Feng Yijia soon waited for a truck carrying stones. He stopped it and spent two cents, got on the truck bed, stood on the stones and held on to the railings to go into the city.
The car was moving and the wind was blowing. Even though there was nothing covering my head, it wasn't very hot under the sun.
When I got off the bus, my hair, which was neatly combed in the morning, became a mess, and my face was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Feng Yijia wiped her face casually, combed her hair, and went straight to Tao Chengye's courtyard with her backpack on her back.
The yard door was open, and there were several people inside busy carrying medicinal herbs.
Feng Yijia was just wondering whether to come back later when she saw Tao Chengye's round body walking out of the main house.
Seeing Feng Yijia at the door, she smiled and greeted him, "Feng girl is here, come in!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward.
"I didn't expect that Uncle Tao still remembered me!" Feng Yijia replied with a smile as he stepped into the yard.
“We are in the medicinal materials business, and among other things, we are good at keeping track of events and people.
I'm not exaggerating, but I'll never forget anyone I've met or any account I've handled as your Uncle Tao!" Tao Chengye said proudly, stroking his bulging belly.
Feng Yijia complimented the man and took out the herbs from the basket.
The two of them sorted, weighed and counted the money.
Tao Chengye looked at the processed scorpions, centipedes, and snakes inside and gave Feng Yijia a thumbs up, but still advised: "These are too dangerous, don't touch them in the future.
Otherwise, if something happens, I won’t be able to explain it to Jing’an!”
Feng Yijia was repeatedly dissuaded, so he nodded and promised, "This is just this time. I won't specifically arrest these people in the future."
Tao Chengye didn't say anything more. He quickly calculated the total bill and paid the money.
Feng Yijia held the newly acquired two hundred and eighty yuan in his hand, and felt a moment of hesitation.
Compared to medicinal herbs, these snakes and insects are more valuable, but in the end I gave up the idea.
A person who lacks care, after being a ghost for decades and being reborn, will especially cherish every bit of care from others.
After the transaction, Feng Yijia said goodbye and left, and went to the guesthouse where he stayed last time to book a room.
After washing and resting for a while, I saw the sun setting and went out for a stroll on the nearby streets filled with the aroma of various foods.
Buy all kinds of food and stuff them into your mouth while walking.
Meng Sheng rode his bicycle home and felt something was wrong all the way.
Feng Yijia has a bad relationship with her cousin, and he knows that Chen Xiu is secretly dating Feng Yixiang.
The two of them are in a group, and Feng Yijiajia doesn't know if he will be bullied if he is with them?
When you care about someone, it is especially easy to overthink things.
The more Meng Sheng thought about it, the more uneasy he became. After riding for a while, he simply stopped and hid all the things on the bike in the woods on the side of the road. Then he turned the bike around and headed back to the countryside.
As soon as I came out of the mountain, I met Feng Yixiang and his friend who were returning home.
Not seeing Feng Yijia on the mule cart, Meng Sheng's heart immediately began to race, fearing that something had happened.
He didn't care whether it would surprise or arouse suspicion, and he just stepped forward to stop the mule cart and asked where Feng Yijia was going.
When he learned that the person had gone to the county town, he simply rode his bike back to the county.
After rushing all the way, we finally returned to the city in the evening.
Without thinking twice, he pushed his cart to the street where they had met last time.
Sure enough, at a glance, he saw Feng Yijiajia standing in front of a barbecue stall, staring intently amid the hustle and bustle of people.
In an instant, Meng Sheng felt all the fatigue and heat in his body disappear.
He stood quietly by for a long time without moving, watching people pay with greedy eyes, and then ate the roasted tofu skin coated with a layer of chili powder bite by bite.
After a long time, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There was pampering and lust in that smile, as well as a sense of relief and determination after making a decision.
