The double harvest finally ended, and with everyone's help, the rice seedlings in the fields by the forest and riverbank were all planted.
The seedlings were left over from the brigade, and it would be a shame to throw them away. Lin Ye exchanged them for his work repairing the threshing machine.
After Zhou Ling set the date for the leather bucket, Lu Wanqing decided to invite the people who helped with the family's rice planting to dinner that evening. Early in the morning, the whole family went to the county town to buy things.
My sister and brother-in-law will also be coming. We still have a pheasant at home, so we definitely need plenty of meat; we're out of fresh ones.
Last time, Lin Chunhua brought some porcini mushrooms, but I was worried they might be too allergenic, so I didn't sell them right away. This time, I'm bringing them along with a bunch of wild game I hunted to sell. When she comes, I can give her the money.
When they arrived at Tiger's house, Lin Ye noticed that Luo Hao was coming out of Tiger's house and looked rather unnatural. Since he had business to attend to, he didn't have time to talk to him much.
Let's ask about it again tonight!
Lin Chunhua's porcini mushrooms weighed a total of 5.3 jin (2.5 catties), and because the price increased by 5 fen (0.05 yuan), she sold them for 50.35 yuan.
It was a huge sum of money, ten-yuan and one-yuan notes, and Tiger gave him a thick stack of them.
As for the wild game he hunted, he made quite a bit of money from it, earning a total of 62 yuan. Lin Ye took the money and handed it over to Lu Wanqing.
Seeing how natural they were, Li Ping couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Lu Wanqing noticed that her cousin had come again, seemingly helping to inventory the goods, and appeared to be assisting them.
The couple's business is growing so much that they're finding it a bit overwhelming.
Li Ping's health wasn't very good, so she asked her cousin to help her, which would both reduce her workload and be trustworthy.
After the handover was completed, Li Ping wanted to invite a few people to stay for tea and a while, but Lu Wanqing politely declined, saying, "I have things to do today, let's get together another time."
They do this kind of business in a clandestine way, and it's best if the sellers don't meet them, so as not to cause any trouble for the other party.
Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing went out to the state-run butcher shop to buy meat, and also bought some cooked food such as pig's head and chicken feet.
After buying everything, he went to browse around elsewhere, and before long, Lin Ye's basket was full again.
Just as Lu Wanqing was walking ahead, pointing at a shop and saying something, a figure passed by her and bumped into her arm, causing her to stumble. If Lin Ye hadn't grabbed her in time, she probably would have fallen to the ground.
Lin Ye was furious, and then he noticed that behind them, an old man with white hair and beard had fallen to the ground, panting and shouting, "Stop thief! My money has been stolen!"
"I'll go check on the old man, you go chase the thief." Lu Wanqing gave him a look.
Lin Ye had the same idea; he couldn't let his wife get away after bumping into her!
After he chased after him, Lu Wanqing went up to check on the old man. He was pale and clutching his heart, probably having a heart attack. His condition was very bad.
She quickly took out her military water bottle and fed him the spring water.
I don't know if the spring water works for heart disease, but it can at least relieve the symptoms.
Concentrating on rescuing people, she didn't notice that Zhao Xiaolan, who had been holding Snowball, had put Snowball down and let it go catch the thief too.
She followed behind Snowball with a smile, as if they were playing a game, muttering, "Catch the thief!"
Unbeknownst to her, she had walked more than a hundred meters down the street, turned a corner, and disappeared from Lu Wanqing's sight.
The old man's condition gradually improved, and he hurriedly thanked Lu Wanqing. Only then did Lu Wanqing notice that Zhao Xiaolan was gone.
She hurriedly told the old man, "Wait here for a while, my husband went to chase the thief."
Afterwards, she searched the streets for Elaine Chao's whereabouts.
Snowball has probably gone far away and is now out of contact.
She didn't know whether Snowball and Elaine Chao were together!
Just as she was starting to panic, she saw Zhao Xiaolan pushing and shoving a middle-aged man under a willow tree not far away.
Lu Wanqing stepped forward angrily, shielding Zhao Xiaolan behind her. "What are you doing? In broad daylight, you're going to bully an innocent woman!"
The middle-aged man, sprightly and with a ruddy complexion, exuding righteousness, quickly frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Young lady, you've misunderstood. She insisted on touching me..."
The man blushed with embarrassment and didn't know what to say next.
Just as Lu Wanqing was wondering, Zhao Xiaolan jumped out again and touched the man's chest.
Lu Wanqing was stunned into silence. This... Zhao Xiaolan was too bold...
“These are my flowers.” Zhao Xiaolan grabbed the man’s shirt and wouldn’t let go. The man was too weak to break free and looked miserable, waiting for Lu Wanqing to rescue him.
Lu Wanqing looked closely and realized that the small flower on the man's shirt was the one that Zhao Xiaolan had embroidered at the tailor shop last time.
It turned out that she wasn't trying to grope his breasts, but rather recognized the flowers he had embroidered.
"Uncle, I'm so sorry, my mom isn't quite right in the head and her behavior is a bit out of control, please don't mind! By the way, you wouldn't happen to be Liu Ying's father, would you?" Lu Wanqing forcefully pulled Zhao Xiaolan away.
Liu Zhengfeng asked in surprise, "Do you know me?"
Lu Wanqing then told him about helping Liu Ying mend her clothes, and added, "I was just about to go see her to thank her for introducing me to so many business deals."
"So you're the tailor friends my daughter just made!" Liu Zhengfeng laughed heartily. "It's true what they say, 'No fight, no friendship'."
Liu Zhengfeng glanced at Zhao Xiaolan and his heart skipped a beat. He had been so busy pushing her away that he hadn't had a good look at her. He realized that she was a beautiful woman with a pure innocence in her eyes that was beyond her years.
At this moment, Lin Ye, holding the thief's hand, passed by and saw Lu Wanqing by the willow tree with a man beside her. His expression darkened.
"Ah Ye, you caught the thief?" Lu Wanqing also saw him and smiled sweetly at him.
Her smile instantly calmed Lin Ye down. He said calmly, "Okay, I'll take him to the police station!"
At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng said loudly, "Young man, you don't need to go. Just give me the person!"
Seeing everyone's confusion, he quickly introduced himself: "Liu Ying dislikes my profession the most, she definitely didn't tell you. I'm a police officer. I was supposed to be off today, but since I ran into you, I'll just consider it overtime!"
The thief was so frightened that his legs went weak. He had really had a bad day. He ran into a big guy like Lin Ye and was powerless to fight back. Now he had run into his police friend. He probably wouldn't be able to leave the detention center for several months.
Lin Ye handed the man over to Liu Zhengfeng, and as for the old man's money, Liu Zhengfeng told them to go and return it.
"After you pay me back, come to my house. I'll show you what I can do for lunch," Liu Zhengfeng warmly invited.
Lu Wanqing agreed without hesitation.
Liu Ying's father turned out to be a police officer, which was exactly what she needed to find out!
