Buling wasn't upset about eating a half-cooked melon. They were neighbors, and she would always find out what happened next. To paraphrase her sister Yuanyuan, there are no secrets in a courtyard house.
Back in the front yard, Buling cooked some corn porridge, and soon Xia Qingmei and her husband arrived.
"cousin!"
Bu Ling looked up in response, saw that it was them, and smiled: "Cousin, brother-in-law, come in and sit down!"
Feng Daquan had come several times before and was no longer as reserved. He greeted Bu Ling with a smile, "Cousin, you got off work quite early today?"
"Yeah, we just go home when there's nothing else at the restaurant." Buling noticed that the two of them were each carrying a burlap sack and a bamboo basket, and asked curiously, "Cousin, you have so much stuff today?"
Xia Qingmei put the sack on the ground, then turned around and put down the basket before answering Buling's question: "Yes, this year's harvest was poor, so we need to prepare more to exchange for grain."
"What did you bring?" Bu Ling asked.
Xia Qingmei opened a burlap sack, revealing its contents: "There's very little food, mostly supplies: homespun cloth woven in the village, some leather, two rabbits, and some vegetables."
"Cousin, do you think anyone will want these?" Xia Qingmei was a little nervous, as this was the first time she had ever sold these.
Bling wasn't sure either: "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll just buy it." She was planning to make another curtain anyway, and one wasn't enough.
Xia Qingmei felt a warmth in her heart: "No need, I'll take you if you need it." In the past six months, thanks to the connection with Bu Ling, their family's life has improved a lot, and their status in the village has also risen significantly.
In the past, people in their village always lived in fear when selling things, and they would be caught from time to time. Once caught, they would not only be fined, but their goods would also be confiscated, and in serious cases, they might even be sent to labor camps.
However, since meeting Buling, such situations have greatly decreased. The villagers are extremely grateful to Buling. Xia Qingmei is a loyal and righteous girl, and has not revealed Buling's identity to the villagers to this day.
This was both to protect Bling and to ensure her autonomy; everyone has selfish motives, and she was no exception.
As it turned out, Xia Qingmei had worried unnecessarily. Although the older women were disappointed that there wasn't much food, they didn't mind the leather and homespun cloth.
Although homespun cloth is rough, it is excellent for making clothes and shoe soles. The women quickly divided up the homespun cloth that Xia Qingmei had brought, one foot at a time.
Even rabbit fur wasn't spared. For families with children, use rabbit fur to make a hat for them. It's both warm and beautiful in winter, wouldn't you love?
So today, Bling earned 3.2 yuan, and his little treasury has increased again.
