Feng Daquan sat down awkwardly, but Xia Qingmei ignored him and said to Bu Ling, "I brought two chickens, a rabbit, a hundred eggs, and some vegetables. Do you need anything?"
She brought all sorts of good stuff this time, and she made a point of avoiding people when she came, just so she could see if Bling needed anything.
Upon hearing the word "chicken," Buling immediately asked, "Is it an old hen?"
"Yes, we can't bear to eat the old hen that doesn't lay eggs, so we just use it to exchange for something else," Xia Qingmei explained.
Bling thought for a moment: "It just so happens that one of our neighbors wants to exchange his old hen. Wait a moment!"
Xia Qingmei has no problem.
Bu Ling left the house and went straight to Sister Mo's house. She told Sister Mo about the old hen. Sister Mo was very happy and immediately took the money and went into the house with Bu Ling.
Afterwards, Sister Mo generously bought up all the things Xia Qingmei brought, leaving only some vegetables for Bu Ling. Sister Mo said apologetically, "My sister-in-law is in her postpartum period and urgently needs these things, so please bear with us, Bu Ling!"
"It's alright, Sister-in-law Mo, I understand, I'm not in a hurry." Bu Ling was very good-natured.
Only then was Sister Mo relieved. After the transaction was completed, Sister Mo looked at Bu Ling with a hint of something in her eyes. Bu Ling, of course, knew what she wanted to ask and said to Xia Qingmei, "Cousin, Sister Mo has something she wants to ask you. What do you think?"
Xia Qingmei was quick-witted and knew it wasn't good for others to hear, so she immediately looked at her husband and said, "Brother Daquan, go outside and wait for me."
Feng Daquan nodded, greeted Bu Ling, and left the courtyard. Bu Ling also made an excuse to wait in the courtyard, giving the two of them some space.
Ten minutes later, Sister Mo came out of the house with a flushed face. Xia Qingmei was also a little embarrassed. Just as Bu Ling was about to ask, Sister Mo ran away in a flash. Xia Qingmei also made an excuse that it was getting late and rode her whirlwind out of the yard.
Buling thought to herself, "You haven't given me my share of today's earnings yet. Never mind, I'll talk to you about it next time." But when she got back to the house, she saw several bills on the table, which were her share of today's earnings.
Bling was extremely satisfied; only someone like this could make you feel comfortable working with her.
Not long after Xia Qingmei left, Grandpa Wu gathered everyone together and talked about the water bill: "I've discussed it with the people from the neighborhood office. Starting today, the water bill will be calculated per person, and children will be charged half a share."
Before anyone could object, he continued, "The neighborhood committee said that from now on, the water will come on at six o'clock every morning and be turned off at nine o'clock. The water pipes will not be turned on at night. Everyone should try to use water during the daytime."
This is also to prevent some people from feeling unfairly treated and using water excessively at night, causing waste.
"Also, the director of the neighborhood office said that from now on, this will be the standard practice for our entire area." After saying this last sentence, Grandpa Wu immediately went back inside and closed the door.
He was afraid of being caught and nagged by a group of old women; he was too old to take it lying down.
Grandpa Wu left so quickly that the dissatisfied families couldn't find him to complain, and realizing the matter was already settled, they protested a couple of times and then went home.
