Chapter 172 Barter



Huang Xuehua's expression was full of sinisterness, she was hoping that something would happen to Tian Yuzhu.

Especially this kind of work style issues were the most detrimental to Shi Zhentang.

At this time, she sneered, "Ah Chun, you must get close to her, keep a close eye on her, and see if she and Mayor Qin have any further dealings. I won't treat you unfairly."

After saying that, he took out a dollar and stuffed it into Feng Chun's hand: "I heard that Erhu almost got lost today. He must be really scared. Use this to buy some candy for the kid."

"sister in law!"

Looking at the money, Feng Chun was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "You are so kind to us."

"That's nothing. As long as you do your job well, I will definitely reward you handsomely later."

After thinking for a moment, Huang Xuehua made another promise: "I'll tell you a secret. Our military region will soon open a school for children of military personnel. Logically, Dahu and Erhu can't attend the school, but we're family. I'll think of a solution for you when the time comes."

Feng Chun's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Really, sister-in-law? Thank you so much. Oh, look at me, how can I take your money? I'll have to rely on you for help with Dahu and Erhu's affairs in the future, but I can't help you at all."

As I spoke, I wanted to put the money back.

Feng Chun is not stupid. She knows that if she wants to accomplish big things, she cannot take advantage of such small things.

If her two children could go to school in Qu Jun, she would save so much worry, not only worry, but also money!

Huang Xuehua pushed her hand back: "This is to buy candy for the baby. Don't worry, I will do my best for you. I hope you will do your best for mine as well."

"Don't worry about this, sister-in-law. I've disliked Tian Yuzhu for a long time!"

Having said that, Feng Chun had no choice but to put away the money in his fingers awkwardly.

She was extremely determined in her heart. She must gain Tian Yuzhu's trust and infiltrate their ranks.

Early the next morning, Tian Yuzhu took a bamboo basket and went out to the town.

There is no more food at home, so I might as well go buy some.

Unexpectedly, just as she walked out not far, Feng Chun trotted up behind her, his face full of flattery: "Yuzhu, wait for me, wait for me."

Tian Yuzhu was forced to stop and said in a cold tone: "What's the matter?"

"Where are you going? I'll go with you." Feng Chun said with a smile, "I just want to learn from you. You know so much and you're very capable. I can always learn something from you."

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to town to give a bamboo basket to a fellow villager."

I'm just going my own way, so you can't just follow me around!

But Feng Chun turned around and caught up with him: "It's okay, I'll go with you to the town and keep you company!"

"Thanks, I don't need it."

"no……"

"Ah Chun."

Wang Xiu Di happened to be passing by with a few military wives.

They went to the art troupe yesterday to pick up their embroidered stage costumes, but the team leader was not there so they couldn't get them. So they all made an appointment to go early this morning.

As a result, they met. Seeing Feng Chun's shameless look, Wang Xiu Di was furious.

"Why are you pestering Yuzhu instead of taking good care of the kids at home? Erhu got lost yesterday and you still haven't learned your lesson."

The other military wives were all disgusted: "Ah Chun, you're already a mother, how come you still don't have the energy to be calm and composed?"

"That's right. Apart from anything else, you have to take care of the two kids. Look, Dahu and Erhu are right at the gate. They must be hungry, right?"

"Go back quickly and take care of the baby."

Feng Chun was full of black lines on his head: "..."

She has never been afraid of other military wives, but she is a coward in front of Wang Xiu Di.

At this moment, he hung his head, not daring to say anything back, and could only turn around and go home silently.

At this time, Zhao Cui also came over to join everyone. Seeing Feng Chun passing by with a depressed look on his face, he asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Wang Xiudi shook her hand: "Ignore her."

Turning back, he said, "Yuzhu, go and get busy. Let's go get some clothes."

"Hey, goodbye, sisters-in-law."

When he turned around, he glanced at Feng Chun's back.

This woman has been a little abnormal these past two days. She's suddenly so enthusiastic towards her. It's hard to say that she has nothing to hide.

But Tian Yuzhu didn't take it to heart at all. She thought that there would always be a way out when the time came, so why should she be anxious now?

Just go to town happily.

You can bask in the spring sun along the way and chat with fellow villagers you get along with.

What she didn't expect was that Feng Chun was too bold.

Although she was scolded, she returned home in shame.

But after waiting for a while, he guessed that Wang Xiu Di and the others had already gone to the art troupe, so he hurriedly followed them out.

As soon as Tian Yuzhu entered the town, she saw a red cloth hanging on one of the bamboos in the bamboo forest.

She was slightly stunned.

According to yesterday's agreement, One-Eyed Dragon should go to the county town today.

How come there is business again so soon?

"Hey, Miss Yuzhu, I've been looking forward to your coming."

The voice of the carriage master came from behind.

Whenever he has time these days, he comes to the street, looking forward to his bamboo basket!

"Uncle." Tian Yuzhu was also happy to see him. This way she didn't have to look for him everywhere. "Look, I've compiled it for you. I hope you like it."

"I like it, I like it. Your aunt really liked the winnowing basket you made last time."

The carriage driver is leading the horse now, probably going somewhere.

He took the bamboo basket and looked at it, his eyes narrowed with joy, and said, "Wait a minute."

Then he took out a cloth bag from his horse's back pocket and handed it to me: "This is a gift from your aunt. It contains two pounds of soybeans. You can make tofu."

Soybeans that can be used to make tofu are very valuable.

Tian Yuzhu refused to accept it no matter what she said: "Uncle, please don't be like this. Weaving bamboo baskets is really just a piece of cake for me."

The old man's face suddenly turned serious. "Here, don't be polite with me. These are grown in our private plot. We don't have much here, but beans are easy to grow. Your aunt grows a lot every year, which is more than enough for the two of us. Take these back and make tofu for your soldier comrade to have a taste of freshness."

Looking at this posture, he would be angry if he didn't!

Tian Yuzhu had no choice but to accept it: "Uncle, if you want to make up something in the future, just tell me directly."

"Okay, I have things to do, so I'm leaving now!"

The old man was a straightforward man. He put the bamboo basket on his back, led the horse and walked away happily.

Honestly, it's quite touching.

Bartering is the simplest form of emotional exchange.

Just as Tian Yuzhu turned around and left, her eyes accidentally caught a figure.

That guy actually followed me!

She was hiding behind some bamboos at the bend in front, as if her blue dress could make her invisible.

It seemed that she couldn't go to the courtyard for the time being. Tian Yuzhu pretended not to see it and walked forward leisurely.

Go straight to the street and buy a bottle of soda to quench your thirst.

I took a sip and looked around at the scenery. The town was actually quite nice.

It has an ancient charm and if it can be preserved, it will surely become a tourist attraction in the future.
