Chapter 209 208. That Brother
As June came, the weather became hotter.
The discounted clothes Huaiyu bought before can no longer be worn, so he has to go to the market again to have a look.
To be honest, now as soon as she opens her eyes every day, someone comes to work at home. Life is simple and stable. She feels more at ease and peaceful than ever before. She really has no idea about going to the trading market.
However, not only did the high temperature arrive, but the morning broadcast also predicted continuous heavy rains in the next few days. The vegetables in the fields could not withstand the rain, so we had to take this opportunity to sell as many as possible.
So with the help of Zhou Qian, the two of them pushed their bicycles loaded with more than 200 kilograms of vegetables and waited at the platform.
“It would be nice to have a car.”
Huaiyu looked forward to it: "If we have a car, we can sell 500 to 600 kilograms at a time, and we can sell it at any time."
There would be no need to use bicycles to carry goods sack by sack like we do now.
But she turned and looked at Zhou Qian who was sweating profusely, and then she became happy again: "But now that Brother Zhou Qian is here, it's the same for you. I can't cook so many dishes by myself."
Zhou Qian sighed: "If you didn't dare to sell the vegetables here to the camp casually, you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to get these things."
There is no other way. Even if the mutation value is not that low, it is controlled at around 13. The defense army has a lot of funding, but it is not the time to eat these things at will.
But then he rubbed Huaiyu's head again: "Just in time, you go buy daily necessities - remember to buy yourself a mosquito net."
"I just went to the hospital for a checkup. It's time to have my leg rechecked."
"I want to go too." Huaiyu said, "I haven't visited Sister Chen Xing for so many days, I have to go see her again."
It's not that she delayed intentionally, but the farming season is precious. Even if she has the ability to induce labor, the seedlings need to grow in the field to keep up with the season. So after having Zhou Qian as a laborer, Huai Yu is thinking of ways to use him every day, and he won't be free for a while! Zhou Qian nodded: "Okay."
Anyway, there are so many dishes, they have to act together today.
After chatting for a while, the bus arrived.
The car door opened, Huaiyu got in first, and said softly to the driver, "Uncle, wait for me for a moment, we can move the things up, okay?"
The driver glanced at her, then looked at Zhou Qian who was carrying a sack outside the car door and preparing to get in, and suddenly asked, "Your brother?"
Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, then realized that this familiar-looking master had heard her story about [Two Brothers] several times before, then nodded heavily: “Yes!”
The master laughed and said, "No wonder he was admitted to the defense army. Look at his arms and legs, and his body. He is very strong! All right, let him go."
What haven't the buses come in nowadays?
There was a time before, people from the Jinyuan community in front of us even carried a millstone! It's all because of the world, as long as you can squeeze in, then you can squeeze in anything.
Zhou Qian also heard it. He glanced at Huai Yu, knowing that this girl had told a lot of lies outside. At this moment, he carried the sacks and walked inside, trying to stack them in the last corner as much as possible.
Then he said, "Xiao Yu, swipe one more ticket for the fare."
He shouted again, "Thank you, Master. I will hold the sack in place later. It will be stable."
The driver was even happier.
The bus continued to drive along as usual. Zhou Qian and Huai Yu sat in the back seat and asked him quietly, "You even lied to the driver?"
"I didn't!" Huaiyu blinked her big eyes, looking very innocent: "An auntie in the car talked about it, and I just said a few words, I didn't say anything..."
She looked sincere.
Zhou Qian was skeptical.
Not long after, the car stopped at Jinyuan Community.
When this unfinished building was first built, it was advertised with great fanfare, aiming to create the largest community in Huacheng. Now it has achieved its goal, as can be seen from the huge crowds of people rushing onto the buses every time.
It is true that Huacheng has the most people.
Men, women, young and old, chatted as they found seats to sit down with ease, talking at the top of their voices about all the trivialities of their daily lives.
Zhou Qian now believed that the driver had only heard it by accident, but then he saw an auntie who was nearby suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them curiously: "Hey, little girl, you're going into the city again?"
No one exchanged names. Huaiyu thought the lady looked familiar, as he had probably seen her a few times on the bus, so he smiled shyly and obediently.
But the other party said in a familiar way: "Now that you are settled, life is much better, right? You have grown taller and your face has become plump. You look like a grown-up girl. How old did you say you were last time?"
Huaiyu: “…”
She didn't really want to answer, but the other party turned his eyes to Zhou Qian who was looking at her.
Being stared at in such a look, even though Zhou Qian was a veteran, for some reason his hair stood on end, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
The next moment, the aunt looked him up and down with shining eyes, then looked at Huaiyu: "Oh, girl, this is your brother, right?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhou Qian: “…”
Huaiyu didn't even dare to look at Zhou Qian's expression. At this moment, he nodded vaguely: "Hmm..."
"Which one is this? The married one or the unmarried one?"
Then he looked at the other person again and shook his head, "You're the one who's married, right? Young man, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but nowadays, if a family lives well, they are all very lucky. You can't just get married and forget about your sister."
"Look at her skinny arms and legs. How can she live alone in the Defense Army's family dormitory?"
She had a loud voice, and soon other aunts came over curiously. When they saw Huaiyu, they also slapped their thighs and said, "Oh! It's this little girl!"
Then they said together: "Young man, you really shouldn't do that!"
Zhou Qian was simply stunned by this pot. He turned his head and stared at Huaiyu, only to see that his ears were red and his head was hanging low, as if he was admitting his mistake! He gritted his teeth and finally managed to smile: "You misunderstood, I'm not married yet."
Ah? Misunderstanding? The aunt opposite was stunned.
Zhou Qian's legs moved, and he looked sideways. He saw Huaiyu, who had just bowed his head to admit his mistake, with sparkling eyes, but a strange look on his face as he looked at him, as if to say -
【You are finished! 】
Zhou Qian didn't understand.
But the next moment, the aunt in front of them held onto her seat and moved back two rows, then sat diagonally in front of them, her voice lowered a lot:
"Not married yet? How old are you this year? You must be making a lot of money in the defense army, right?"
"Young man, the country is now encouraging marriage and childbirth, and there are subsidies for raising children. It's dangerous for you to be in the defense army, and you still need to have a family and a home in the rear to be free of worries... You better hold on tight!"
Zhou Qian's eyebrows jumped and he subconsciously moved his body, trying to curl up his tall body into the sack beside him.
But, it's useless.
Because the aunt had already fixed her eyes on him, her eyes full of enthusiasm: "To be honest, my girl is also single!"
