Chapter 172 Chen Yan 2
These little ones are all from Wangou Village. Today they followed their parents to the commune to go to the market, but they used all their skills to throw a tantrum and roll around in order to get five cents from their grandparents.
Prepare to come to the commune to buy popsicles.
Nowadays, popsicles cost one cent each, while glutinous rice popsicles and mung bean popsicles cost two cents each.
They also often went to the county town. If they couldn't take a tractor, they would use a crane. If they didn't have money, they could only hold on to the back door of the tractor and row all the way to the county town.
When I got home, we had a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, because my straw sandals were torn after slipping once.
However, fried bamboo shoots with meat could not stop them from going to the county town to play.
Of course I know this kind of small bookstall.
"Comrade, how much does it cost to read this comic book?"
Several little ones looked at Chen Yan and asked.
Nowadays, people greet each other by calling each other comrade or master.
“A penny for a day.”
When Chen Yan saw business coming, he quickly responded with a smile.
"I'll watch it for a day."
When they went to the city to watch, they paid one cent a day. They set out in the morning, had a pancake brought from home and a popsicle at noon, and arrived at the edge of the city around dusk to ride the tractor back home. Sometimes there were few people on the tractor, and the tractor driver would let them ride back to the commune for free.
If I don’t have to hang on the tractor, my straw sandals will definitely not get damaged, and I won’t get beaten when I get home.
Soon a group of little kids gathered in front of Chen Yan's bookstall. Some of the poor kids could only stand behind others to read, but Chen Yan did not chase them away.
I earned a little over 30 cents a day.
This is only the first day that I set up a stall in the commune. Many children don’t know that there are picture books to read. In the long run, I will definitely earn more than this little money.
Chen Yan didn't plan to go there every day, he would go whenever there was market.
As soon as I got home, Chen's mother walked up to me.
"San'er, has anyone paid to read your book?"
"Yes, I made three cents today."
Chen Yan said with a smile.
With the three cents he earned today, Chen Yan hurried back to the house and took out his own small treasury, which was a small clay jar. All the money he earned was stored in this jar.
Now it's already twenty-five dollars.
Chen Yan counted on his fingers, then smiled and came to the captain's house with a bottle of wine.
"Uncle."
Chen Yan shouted with a smile as he entered the door.
Most people in Chenjia Village have this surname, and it just so happens that the captain is from their family, and in terms of seniority, he is of the same generation as his father.
"What's up with you kid?"
Captain Chen shook his head when he saw Chen Yan. It was a pity that such a strong guy was a lazy guy.
Chen Yan hurriedly handed over a bottle of wine. He had seen this bottle in the city. He spent 80 cents to get a pound of loose wine from his eldest sister in a restaurant. He stuffed the bottle with a wooden cork and rags, and brought it back to ask his aunt-in-law to help him find a marriage.
There are many brothers and sisters in the family, including an older sister, two older brothers and two younger sisters. His parents don’t pay much attention to him, so he has to rely on himself for many things.
I saw Chen Yan holding a bottle of liquor.
"It's impossible to help you get full work points. You don't need to use this trick."
Captain Chen waved his hand and refused.
"Uncle, that's not the matter. I want my aunt to help me find a marriage."
Chen Yan immediately stated his purpose.
"Xiaoyan, I have watched you grow up. It's easy to find a relative, but I can't hurt someone's daughter. You are a strong man who works for three days and rests for two days. You only work 26 days a month. Which good man dares to marry his daughter to you?"
A woman took over the conversation.
"Aunt, I was helping my kids deliver food. I never slacked off when I was working."
Chen Yan immediately retorted, but did not mention the fact that he was selling mountain products for money.
"We also know that your two younger sisters are working in the city and they bring 20 yuan home every month, but what does this have to do with you? Even if they give all their earnings to the family, how much money would you get? Not to mention buying dowries in the future, how much would you get?
So Xiaoyan, I advise you to work honestly. The more you work, the more food you can get.
Besides, wouldn't it be enough to deliver food rations once a month? You're just lazy and don't want to work. ”
Chen Yan didn't know how to refute these words. He couldn't say that he was secretly selling mountain products. If he did, it would be like he was fleecing the team.
In the end, no one dared to do this, for fear that Chen Yan was a lazy man and would become lazier and lazier, and people would secretly criticize her for being a matchmaker.
"Aunt, if they are willing, I am willing to buy them two new sets of clothes."
Chen Yan still said it with gritted teeth.
"Okay, I'll ask for you. If there's anyone suitable, I'll help you get the match."
Seeing Chen Yan like this, the woman felt helpless.
Nowadays, the idea of making two new sets of clothes is still very tempting for unmarried girls.
Many girls grow up wearing patched clothes, and the clothes they wear when they get married are not necessarily new.
"This Chen Laoshi is really willing to spend a lot of money. He even made two new sets of clothes for this lazy son. I wonder if the eldest daughter-in-law and her family will make a fuss after Chen Yan gets married. After all, they are not fair."
The captain's wife started to gossip in her mind, even though the gossip was unlikely to happen.
After watching Chen Yan go away.
"Why did you agree to it? Aren't you harming the girl by being such a lazy guy?"
Captain Chen said.
Chenjia Village was not rich to begin with, and with Chen Yan being so lazy, it would be hard to believe that she would have an easy life after marrying into the village.
"When did I promise him? I just asked if there was anyone suitable."
The woman smiled mysteriously and ignored her man. As for whether he had it or not, there was definitely not and she would not ask.
area.
At the entrance of the department store.
Zhao Yi just got off work and came to the restaurant to help.
There are a lot of people in the restaurant at this time, and many people come to eat during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Zhang Jing took her two little ones to visit relatives this afternoon. Since she has close ties with relatives in the region, she brought some rice dumplings, eggs, and malted milk to visit them.
When everything here was almost done, Zhang Jing came back with the two little ones.
The two little guys were carrying a lot of things in their hands. When Zhang Jing took them out, she only carried a backpack by herself. When she came back, the backpack was not only full, but she couldn't carry it all with both hands, so she had to ask the two little guys for help.
"Grandpa Xu."
Seeing Mr. Xu sitting at the door eating braised pork and drinking wine, the two little ones hurried over.
"Dabao, Xuanxuan, come and try a piece."
Old Master Xu smiled and picked up a piece of braised pork and handed it to Zhao Peng. After Zhao Peng finished eating, he picked up another piece for Zhao Xuanxuan.
The old man did not cook at home today for the holiday, but came to the restaurant to eat. He originally thought that there would not be many people here and everyone would eat at home today. Unexpectedly, more people came than usual, and each family came.
