"Are you seated yet? I'm tired." Qiao Youcai asked the people on the ox cart.
Liu Xinyan shouted loudly, "Uncle Qiao, it's enough, come on."
The next day, Qiao Jiangxin went to the city to clean the restaurant and to inspect the furniture and chairs that he had decided on with Li Baishui a year ago.
Liu Xinyan and Gu Yunzhou had nothing to do and were looking for company, so they said they wanted to go to the city to look for an apartment together.
Qiao Youcai drove a ox cart to take the three people to town.
Liu Xinyan was very excited, "Jiang Xin, we ate too much donkey meat dumplings last night, so we got up early and steamed the remaining ones for dinner.
I must find a house near you, and from now on I will eat every meal in your restaurant.
Don't worry, I don't eat for free, I pay for it. I'm a long-term customer, so you have to give me a discount. ”
Qiao Jiangxin smiled, "You have a cheerful and enthusiastic personality. If you have nothing to do, come to my store and help me entertain guests. I will provide you with meals."
Liu Xinyan's eyes lit up, "With our relationship, if you don't provide me with food, and I see that you are too busy to handle it, I can't just sit there and watch, right?
Hehe, Brother Gu told me yesterday that you were going to do business, and I knew it. ”
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and just as they walked out of the village, they saw the three members of the Chen family slipping and stumbling in front of them.
It rained a little last night and the mud road was very rough.
It was obvious that the Chen family had dressed up specially, wearing clothes from the bottom of their own closets, but their shoes were one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the mud on the soles of their shoes had rubbed onto their trouser legs, making them look a little disheveled.
Chen Wende was at the front, carrying a fat duck with its legs tied up and a basket on a shoulder pole. The duck was dangling in the air, making miserable quacking sounds.
Chen Wende's pair of Liberation shoes were almost covered with mud. He cared most about his appearance, and his face was dark and irritable at this moment.
Che Jinmei was also carrying a basket, yelling, "I told you not to be so anxious. It's only the third day of the Chinese New Year, the roads are bumpy, and I can't borrow a bicycle. The Party Secretary's family also needs it during the Chinese New Year. I said I wanted to borrow it from Qiao's family, but you insisted on stopping me."
Father Chen was already in poor health, and at this moment he was leaning on a branch, trying his best to follow Chen Wende and his mother.
Each step must be taken carefully and firmly before the next one, for fear of slipping and falling, and the climber would be on the mountain before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Che Jinmei heard the sound of a carriage coming from behind her, turned around, and saw that it was someone from her village. She quickly smiled and greeted them.
"Oh, it's Brother Youcai, it's New Year's Day, where are you going to pay New Year's greetings?"
Qiao Youcai politely replied, "I didn't go to pay New Year's greetings. The children went to the city to do it. I took them to town."
"Going to town?".
Che Jinmei's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the opportunity to ask Qiao Youcai for help, regardless of whether Chen Wende was happy or not.
"Brother Youcai, you are really great. Let's go to the town too.
Hehe, you know my old Chen's physique. During the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to borrow other people's carts, and he has no intention of borrowing a bullock cart or his own cart.
You see, we are from the same village. Since we have met, please lend a hand and give us a ride. ”
Qiao Youcai was a little embarrassed. "This ox cart doesn't belong to us. You should ask Comrade Gu and his friends behind us. My father and I are also riding in their cart."
Che Jinmei quickly turned around and asked Gu Yunzhou.
Feeling everyone's gazes sweeping over him, one of which was the person he looked down upon the most, Qiao Jiangxin, Chen Wende felt very embarrassed.
He was a college student, and he always felt that he was superior to those country folk.
But now he had to beg others for a ride.
Seeing that Mr. Chen's wheezing was like asthma, Gu Yunzhou let them get on the oxcart without thinking, as the space was not that wide.
