Chapter 50 Buying Chicken
Chen Yi was sitting in the house and could clearly hear the hysterical voices downstairs.
There's no way. The general noise in this building can be blocked, but the loudest noises can be heard clearly.
Li Minqiang's helpless and desperate tone echoed in everyone's ears.
Most people think that he is really miserable to have such a wife.
But in Chen Yi's view, they are mutual.
If Li Minqiang had given Yang Hui enough sense of security, she would not have looked at him like this.
Chen Yi has been here for a few days and has heard some things.
Li Minqiang never goes home before mealtime or before dark.
He left at dawn in the morning and never stayed at home for long.
She even ignored her children, which is why Yang Hui raised them to be so unruly.
But Chen Yi couldn't care less about these things. It was too noisy outside, so she simply went into the space, put on headphones and watched a movie.
downstairs.
The two people are still arguing.
Hearing what Li Minqiang said, Yang Hui looked at him in disbelief.
"I save some time? What's wrong with me!?"
"I have raised children and saved money for this family for so many years, and you actually say that I am not worry-free?"
Yang Hui was a little bit unbelievable, as she had been reluctant to buy anything in the past few years.
The clothes she was wearing were given to her by her younger sisters from her natal family, and the saved fabric was used to make clothes for Li Minqiang.
Four sets of clothes a year, all saved up by her!
Li Minqiang sneered, as if mocking himself. "You live frugally? Did I ask you to live frugally? Is it because I can't make money, or you don't know how to spend money?"
Yang Hui never thought that her man would have such thoughts.
Everything she did before was useless, right?
That night, the two of them stopped talking.
Li Minqiang was disappointed, while Yang Hui was distraught.
The next morning.
Chen Yi got up, washed her face, and after getting ready, she prepared to go to the Red Star Brigade.
She wanted to eat little stupid chicken, but everything in the space was frozen, so there was nothing she could do.
So, she wanted to go to her fellow villagers to see if they had any for sale.
When he arrived at the Red Star Brigade, Chen Yi asked several people, but no one was selling it.
Some families have several chickens at home but refuse to sell them.
Chen Yi was confused until she found out someone was following her.
She is an aunt in her forties.
"Auntie, why are you following me?" She frowned and looked at the sneaky woman.
The woman smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard you wanted to buy chicken, so I came over to ask what kind you wanted to buy."
Everyone is afraid that Chen Yi will be arrested, and speculation is not allowed now.
After hearing this, Chen Yi understood and said, "I want to buy a hen. What I can do is to pluck and kill it."
The woman thought for a moment and said, "That's five dollars a piece. If you want to buy one, come with me to my house and I'll take care of it for you."
Although it is a bit expensive, Chen Yi can still accept this price.
The two of them agreed, Chen Yi gave her a deposit of two yuan, and then returned to the staff quarters.
When the time comes, Aunt Wang will go and say that they are relatives and send some food to Chen Yi to help her build up her body.
Because the distance was a bit far, Chen Yi gave her an extra two cents.
Don’t think that two cents is a small amount. At this time, everyone is idle and unable to go to work. It is difficult for some people to earn two cents.
Aunt Wang readily agreed and went home with the money.
Chen Yi wasn't afraid that she would cheat. It was only two dollars anyway. What could she do if she gave it to her?
She felt it was worth spending two dollars to get to know someone.
If two people cooperate happily, they can continue to cooperate in the future.
As soon as she entered the gate of the family compound, Chen Yi saw Yang Hui.
I thought this person was going to make trouble again, but I didn't expect that when she saw me, she just left without saying a word.
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that these two people must have had a fierce quarrel last night, otherwise Yang Hui would not be like this.
But it can also be seen from this that Yang Hui cares very much about Li Minqiang.
But what happened between the two of them doesn’t mean that Yang Hui is a good person.
After all, what happened before is still fresh in my mind.
Chen Yi stopped thinking about their affairs and went home to clear her pants first.
The weather has become warmer recently. The snow is melting during the day, but freezes at night.
As a result, the road became even more slippery the next day.
Chen Yi didn't go out either, so this matter had no impact on her.
But staying at home all the time is definitely not a good idea.
About an hour later, Aunt Wang stood at the gate of the staff quarters carrying a chicken.
The guard at the door went to call Chen Yi out, and only then did he realize that someone had arrived.
Aunt Wang's hands were a little red from the cold, and she looked a little embarrassed.
The old hen was cleaned very cleanly and her feet were tied with hemp rope.
Chen Yi took the man aside, gave him the remaining three dollars and two cents, and added another thirty cents.
It's not easy. I gave three cents more in such a cold weather.
When Aunt Wang saw the extra money, she immediately said, "This is not right. There is too much money."
After saying that, you have to return the extra money.
Chen Yi refused and said, "Aunt, just accept it. It's not easy for us. It's fate that we met here. It's really cold to make you come here in the middle of winter."
"Just keep the money. I'll come back to you if I need anything in the future."
Aunt Wang didn't want it at first, but when she heard that she could buy it here again in the future, she happily accepted it.
Won’t there be a way to make money in the future?
It is very difficult for them to sell their products from the countryside because they are trying to catch speculators outside.
It is not appropriate to send it to the recycling station, as the families here also bargain when buying things.
But Chen Yi is a very honest person. He can sell at the market price and make a little profit.
"Okay, I'll tell you if I have anything in the future." She nodded happily and went back.
Chen Yi was carrying the chicken upstairs when she was seen by her sister-in-law next door.
"Hey, where did Mingcheng's wife buy this chicken?" She looked at the chicken and it was not too small.
Chen Yi smiled and replied, "It was sent by a nearby relative. I'll go back first, sister-in-law."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
The sister-in-law just asked and didn't say anything else.
Everyone knows that there are no relatives and that everything is bought from fellow villagers.
If there really are relatives, why don’t people come to visit?
They're all excuses.
After returning home, Chen Yi put the things into the space, and then prepared to wait for He Mingcheng to come home to eat together.
They are both married, so it's natural for them to share the delicious food.
I used to feel that food had no taste. Maybe it was because I ate alone, which was boring.
She looked at the finished pants and found they were pretty good.
Chen Yi made a new set of clothes for He Mingcheng, which was gray and black in color.
The top was a Zhongshan suit with all the buttons sewn on.
The pants are straight-leg and I don’t know if they fit.
Anyway, it was made according to He Mingcheng's old clothes, so it doesn't matter whether it fits or not.
This time she had to make clothes for herself. Although there were a lot of clothes in the space, they were all bought from clothing factories and big shopping malls.
