Xu Qiuhong went to hold her hand, and Lian Yuqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't bother me. I came here yesterday to borrow a bicycle."
"I'm ashamed to say that I've moved here for such a long time, but I still haven't prepared all the pots and pans for my home. I thought I'd go out today and buy some quickly so that I can treat everyone to a meal as soon as possible."
Xu Qiuhong smiled cheerfully, "What's the big deal? The bike is just downstairs and usually no one rides it. You can ride it."
"It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore."
Xu Qiuhong stood there and looked at Lian Yuqing's back. She had to say that Captain Wei's wife was really beautiful, like a fairy.
Xu Qiuhong and Lao Meng discussed her remarks that night in private. This girl is not simple. She has a temper and a strong personality. Wei Dong may not be able to handle her.
However, after spending a few days together, Xu Qiuhong felt that Lian Yuqing was quite nice and always spoke nice things.
The old-fashioned bicycle was not easy to ride. Lian Yuqing rode it crookedly at the beginning and almost fell several times. After getting used to it for a while, he finally rode it smoothly.
Following the young brother's instructions, I rode for half an hour to the nearest village.
Lian Yuqing was very disappointed. The village looked big, but it was dusty everywhere and was not much better than Wei Dong's hometown.
Villagers passing by kept staring at her, and one young man almost fell into a ditch while riding his bicycle.
Lian Yuqing didn't feel embarrassed at all. She had been used to being the center of attention and being stared at under the spotlight since she was a child, and she didn't care about other people's eyes at all.
Ride towards the village.
There were a few people gathered in the middle of the road. Lian Yuqing parked the car aside and went closer to take a look. It turned out that they were selling chickens.
This was quite new to her. There was a cage woven from bamboo strips and a dozen fist-sized chicks, all yellow with short fur, chirping around inside. But because they were so young, their chirping didn't seem noisy at all; it was quite pleasant to hear.
In a few minutes, six or seven chicks had been taken away. Selling chicks was not limited to money, but could also be exchanged for things, such as brown sugar, tickets and rice.
Seeing that Lian Yuqing had been looking at them for a long time, the aunt selling the chickens greeted them warmly, "Big sister, do you want to buy a few?"
As soon as I saw Lian Yuqing's clothes, I knew she was a soldier's wife. People often came over to buy meat, vegetables and eggs.
"It's very easy to raise. Just feed it some leftovers and it will grow up. When it grows up, it will lay an egg a day. I guarantee you won't lose out."
There were little yellow balls in his eyes. Lian Yuqing hesitated and thought about buying some. It seemed that the heroines in most period novels became rich by raising chickens and ducks.
“How much is this chicken?”
"Two cents for young girls and fifteen cents for young boys. I'll give you a discount for both. Fifty cents for both young boys and young girls." The aunt was sure that she had plenty of money.
"Then I'll take them all."
There were eleven left, costing one dollar and sixty-five cents. The aunt said she would give her the cage as well for one dollar and seventy-seven.
Lian Yuqing paid the money readily. The aunt picked up the cage with one hand and said, "Big sister, where should I put it for you?"
I was so busy looking at the chicks that I forgot to look at the cage. The bottom was hollow, and when it was lifted up and hung in the air, a pile of chicken shit fell to the ground. Lian Yuqing frowned and instantly didn't want it anymore.
“This is too dirty,” she said.
Lian Yuqing looked like a well-dressed person from the city. The aunt was prepared and shouted loudly, "Sister, my house is just in front. Can I use some water to wash you?"
"OK."
The auntie patted her chest and grinned: "I promise to wash it clean for you."
Lian Yuqing parked his bicycle at the door of her house and supervised the work personally. She only let go after the cage was cleaned without any chicken poop.
"Is there a paper box? Put all the chicks in it first." The chicks still have to be pooped on the road.
The aunt was also good-tempered. She rummaged through the house and finally found a tattered box. She put all the chicks in it, poked a few holes in it to prevent the chicks from suffocating, and helped tie the cage and box to the back seat of the bicycle.
