People who are in a hurry to buy things: "Yes, yes, everyone has difficult times." Even if we find out there is something fishy, what can we do against you? Don't you want to buy this rare good thing?
"Uncle, there are five families in total. Just give me six kilograms, including mine. You don't need to weigh them separately. We can divide them up ourselves when we get back."
"Okay, right away."
Chen Ye took the money and stuffed it into the master's hand without letting anyone see how much it was. He even leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Can the pork ribs deal be done?"
"Okay, just come pick it up tomorrow morning."
Chen Ye's face was full of smiles: "Thank you, I won't delay your work, bye."
The whole process went smoothly, leaving Cen Zixiang stunned. This was still his little sister who was taciturn to outsiders. Had her heart changed?
Chen Ye pulled the dazed Cen Zixiang out and said, "Fourth brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up. They said there's fruit today. I haven't had fruit in ages. It seems the supply is limited. Let's both get in line."
When Cen Zixiang came to his senses, he saw his little sister patting her pocket. The pocket was bulging, so there must be something else in it.
In just a few steps, Chen Ye pulled Cen Zixiang to the vegetable and fruit stall.
I don’t know why today is such a good day, as all the good things have come to me in one day. When Chen Ye saw the green-skinned apples in the basket on the ground, his mouth started to feel sour. No, why don’t these apples look delicious?
Although Chen Ye has a big appetite, he rarely eats fruit. He mostly eats canned fruit. After all, there is not much fruit available here and it is particularly difficult to buy. It is normal that he does not recognize Guoguang apples.
Cen Zixiang quickly explained to Chen Ye, "This is the common Guoguang apple. We ate it last year. It's the green apple with a hint of red. It doesn't look good, but it's sour and sweet and quite delicious."
Chen Ye took a look at the apples in the basket. They were quite small, not much bigger than sand apples. They were not as big as the green and red apples she ate at home, which were as big as her fist.
"or?"
"Yes, yes, yes," as long as it tastes good, the appearance is not important.
It's a pity for the sand apple trees planted in the yard after she left. It would be good if they could bear fruit this year. It's a pity that she won't be here by then. You know what the point of that is? The saplings were brought from the village.
When the two squeezed out, their clothes were all wrinkled. You can imagine how crowded the store was. But seeing that both of them were carrying full of things, it seemed that the crowding was not unbearable.
"You know, I brought the bag with me when I came out, so it's not easy to carry."
"Not bad. How about giving Fourth Brother two more? This place is close to home anyway, and we'll be there soon."
Chen Ye shook his head: "No, let's go."
Cen Zixiang was still curious: "Speaking of which, little sister, why do you carry cigarettes and candy in your pocket when you go out?"
The candy was given by Chen Ye as a bribe to the elder sister who bought apples, and it was seen by Cen Zixiang who was watching carefully.
"Aren't we going out to do something? We can't just give money to people. If we really run into a fool, we won't be able to explain what we're doing. I've found that tobacco and candy are the best way to get people in touch. Look, I'm going to use them today."
"I've already made an appointment with the butcher. I'll come over early tomorrow morning to get the ribs, the kind with meat on them."
Cen Zixiang gave a thumbs up: "Great, I didn't realize my little sister is so worldly-wise."
Chen Ye...
"It makes me look stupid. It's not that I don't understand the ways of the world, it's that I don't want to understand them. I've been wandering around the village since I was a child, so I've learned it just by watching."
"There's not much meat on these ribs today. Let's go back and make some bone soup. How about I make your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I just want to eat it. Can we eat all these shrimps and fish in one stew today?"
Even if the three of them were able to eat, they couldn't finish seven or eight kilograms of fish and shrimp in one meal. They really couldn't keep them in this weather, and they were really smelly.
"That's easy. We can just clean it up and fry it. It won't be a problem if we keep it for two or three days. Can't the three of us finish it in two or three days?"
"Is there enough oil at home?"
"That's enough, enough to last us until we leave. How about we go call Dashuang and Ershuang over to have a good meal together?"
"I think it's okay. Let's go. This house still needs Ershuang to take care of it for you. After I send the things back, I will go and notify Dashuang and Ershuang to come over."
"Okay, we still have Dashuang's sister-in-law and her brother, so those two people won't be a big deal."
When Gao Fei saw the knife fish and prawns carried by the two men, his smile never dropped. It’s good to be in the city. The food is much better than in the village.
"Well, let me clean up. You two must have worked hard on your trip." It's not easy to eat without working hard.
"Ah! Don't you want to study?" Doesn't this guy want to sit at the long table?
"Well, then we have to combine work and rest. Okay, put it down. Put it down here and I'll do it. Ye Zi, go and rest for a while."
Cen Zixiang put his arm around Chen Ye's shoulders and walked out of the kitchen: "Don't worry about him, let him do it himself. How can he have the nerve to eat delicious food if he doesn't work?"
Chen Ye...Okay.
Da Shuang and Er Shuang would occasionally come to Chen Ye's place for a meal, and Chen Ye would also go to Da Shuang's house for a meal, but rarely. After all, Da Shuang's family now had more people, and it didn't feel so convenient, and she would easily cause trouble for others if she went.
Dashuang and his wife, along with Ershuang, never come in empty-handed. They come in with something in their hands and smile, "Oh, we're in for a treat today! I heard the supply and marketing cooperative also sells this, and I rushed over without even seeing it. I didn't expect to be able to try it."
Chen Ye waved a large shovel and said, "Come in quickly! I've told you so many times that you don't need to carry anything when you come to my place. I'm asking you to come over for dinner, as if I'm just trying to get something good from you."
"You're overthinking it, aren't you? Have you ever come to my house empty-handed? Come on, I bought two sausages and we'll cut them up to go with the wine. Do you still have that wine? That's good, sweet but not intoxicating."
"Don't worry, drink as much as you want. Sister-in-law, hurry up and take the child inside. It's still cold outside. Where's Feng An? Why can't I see him?"
Feng Meilan first asked her son to call someone before answering Chen Ye's question: "The college entrance examination is coming up soon. That kid is so tired that he almost skips meals and reads all day. He can't be called out. Don't worry about him. Let's eat our own food."
"That won't do. I'll pack some out first and have Dashuang send it back. I can't let this ruin my health."
