Chapter 16 I don't want to be attentive, but Qi Man gives me so much
"Excuse me, village chief."
Money makes the world go round.
Since the village chief took her money, he must pay more attention to it.
After all, one should be grateful for what one has received.
The village chief looked at the big unity in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but gasp.
Hiss~
The reward was ten yuan. He suppressed his excitement and spoke in an enthusiastic tone with a hint of flattery.
"Come on, there happens to be a yard like this in the village. I'll take you over to have a look."
I no longer smoke or sharpen knives.
He went into the house, took a bunch of keys, and went out with Qi Man with a smile.
He didn't want to be so attentive, but there was nothing he could do because Manman had given him too much.
As soon as Qi Man and the others left, Bai Jiachun's wife Chen Zhaojin lifted the curtain and walked out of the room quietly. Looking at the bamboo basket on the table, she couldn't help but lift the cloth on it out of curiosity.
It would have been fine if I hadn’t lifted it, but when I saw it, my jaw almost dropped.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and swallowed his saliva.
She...she wasn't seeing things, was she?
In the basket were two cans of malted milk, a piece of pork belly with fat and meat, a bag of brown sugar, two bags of things she had never seen before, and a box of White Rabbit milk candy.
When her eldest daughter-in-law was in confinement after giving birth, she bought some malted milk sold in the county town. It cost 3.05 yuan a bottle. Her eldest daughter-in-law ate four bottles in a row and spent 12.2 yuan. That’s half a month’s salary for an ordinary person.
Normally she couldn't afford to buy it because the price was too high.
The two bottles Qi Man gave me were obviously of better quality than those sold in the county, and they were more delicate and smelled better. One bottle was worth four bottles.
Maybe Qi Man bought it from abroad. This bottle probably costs more than ten yuan.
Hiss~
No wonder the old man was so attentive just now.
If it were her, she might not have done the same.
Chen Zhaojin looked at the things in the basket and felt extremely uneasy. He looked around and saw no one around. Then he carefully carried the basket and sneaked into the room.
If this were seen by someone with ulterior motives, it might be stolen.
In my heart, I even hoped that Qi Man would come and ask for help.
Bai Jiachun led Qi Man to the fields. This area of houses was located in the center of Qingyun Village. It was safe and quiet, and the road was smooth.
"Take a look at this room and see if it will work."
Since Qi Man gave two hundred yuan, Bai Jiachun took Qi Man directly to see the best idle house in the village.
"This house was renovated last year. The family owed the village a lot of debt, so they sold it to the village as collateral. The furniture needs to be polished by ourselves. There are four rooms in total, plus a small bathroom, a small kitchen, and a well. There is also a chicken coop on this side, and the yard at the back is also fenced in, where they can grow vegetables and so on."
Bai Jiachun patiently explained the structure of the room.
The room was just as Qi Man expected, facing north and south, and full of light. Qi Man was very satisfied.
"Then I'll take this one."
Qi Man took out ten yuan from her bag with a smile and put it into Bai Jiachun's hand.
"There are a lot of things over there. My grandfather is in poor health, and I am a woman, so I can't move much. I would like to trouble the village chief to hire a few people to clean up the yard, and then move the things from the old house over here."
For work like this, it’s better not to do it if you can avoid it.
The original owner's grandmother gave him a lot of money, so he could squander some of it temporarily. When San San wakes up, he would probably be able to sign in some money and items from this era.
It would be better to pay some money. How to distribute it is the village chief's business. As long as the tasks she has assigned us are done, it will be fine.
Bai Jiachun looked at the money in his hand and smiled happily.
"When are you moving?"
He liked the way Manman would give him money whenever they had a disagreement.
If I had money, I would be willing to do any hardship or fatigue.
Qingyun Village is a poor village. Even if Bai Jiachun wanted to embezzle the money, he didn't have the luck to do so. The village is too poor and he can't afford it.
As a result, Qi Man came to him for help and could earn more than ten yuan.
There is no such straightforward person in the village.
“The sooner the better!”
Bai Jiachun agreed readily.
"Okay! I'll call a few people to come over and clean up this afternoon."
"By the way, Village Chief, please keep the price of the house a secret, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Grandpa..."
Qi Man said with an embarrassed look on her face.
Bai Jiachun knew Mr. Qi's temper very well and nodded in agreement readily.
After taking the key handed over by the village chief, Qi Man left.
While there is still some time in the morning, I plan to go to the county town to take a look and pick up the package that the original owner sent to the county town.
The village is quite remote, and the only means of transportation to the county town is ox cart.
Today is the market day. The ox cart will set out at around nine o'clock and arrive in the county town at half past eleven.
It's 8:45 now, just in time to catch the train.
At this time, most people were still working, but there were three people who asked for leave to go to the market, all of them were female educated youth.
These female educated youth can be regarded as the old educated youth of Qingyun Village. They all live in the educated youth residence, and the next one is Bai Jiao.
Bai Jiao was wearing a light yellow floral dress, which made her skin look even whiter. She had two pigtails with two small white flowers on them, and she was wearing brand new leather shoes, which made her look very pretty.
Among this group of people, Bai Jiao is considered outstanding, but when Qi Man appears, she can only serve as a background board.
Qi Man found an empty seat and sat down. The other three educated youth looked at Qi Man blatantly, feeling jealous and envious, and sat together whispering.
"I thought Bai Jiao was pretty, but now that Qi Man shows up, Bai Jiao is nothing."
"That's right! I heard that Qi Man was raised by her grandmother abroad. She received the highest level of education without any formal education."
Several people were whispering.
Bai Jiao was standing by, listening to everything they said. Her smug expression froze, and she clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.
Qi Man, Qi Man, it’s Qi Man again!
This person is really haunting!
As the lucky star of the village, he is the center of attention wherever he goes.
But now that Qi Man appears, she is nothing.
Thinking of this, Bai Jiao looked at Qi Man with a somewhat gloomy look in her eyes.
Qi Man sat on the other side with her eyes closed. As for the one burning gaze, everyone knew who it was. The other three people whispering, which was not unpleasant.
"Hold on tight, those at the back."
The man driving the ox cart is called Bai Dazhuang. He is strong and has a tanned skin. He is 28 years old this year and is an old bachelor in the village. He is a simple and honest person.
Bai Dazhuang is the only one in the village who has an ox cart. He does not need to go to work, but he needs to transport goods in the village.
As time passed, the temperature continued to rise and the air became quite hot.
