"Brother, what are you looking at?" Mi Fei waved his hand in front of Dai Donglin's eyes. "She's long gone, why are you still looking? I bet that girl has bewitched you, hasn't she?"
Dai Donglin squinted and gave him a sharp look, clearly annoyed.
"If you say less, no one will think you're mute!"
These words left Mi Fei speechless.
Zhao Lei found it amusing. The three of them had grown up together, and they knew Dai Donglin's personality better than anyone else. He had high standards and was arrogant to the core. He had never paid any attention to women before.
In the words of my buddies, he's just clueless!
The thousand-year-old iron tree is about to bloom. If the guys in the circle find out, they'll be absolutely stunned!
However, a farm girl selling quail eggs was far inferior to Dai Donglin in terms of circumstances; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were worlds apart. Their upbringing and educational backgrounds were vastly different, and they were complete strangers; how serious could their relationship be?
Zhao Lei didn't take it to heart.
Dai Donglin threw away his crutches, opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and released the handbrake.
He glanced at Chu Yu, who was setting up a stall, and their eyes met.
The girl's face displayed a variety of expressions, including surprise, doubt, and anger, as if she wanted to grind him to dust from afar.
For some reason, Dai Donglin just liked to tease her.
He was in a great mood, waving to her from afar while smoking a cigarette, which infuriated Chu Yu.
Can someone with a leg disability drive?
It's not that he's physically disabled but mentally strong; it's that she's so stupid that she believes such nonsense.
Although disabled people can drive in later generations, there probably weren't such conditions in 1983. Besides, she just saw it; he threw away his crutches and jumped into the car in one go. His jumping ability was enough to play basketball. How could he be a cripple?
Realizing she had been deceived, Chu Yu glared at him angrily, her alabaster skin flushed with a light pink from her anger. Unfortunately, the angrier she got, the happier he laughed.
"Hey sis, pack me thirty quail eggs!"
The older sister's words brought Chu Yu back to her senses.
Yes, what's there to be angry about? They're just strangers who met by chance. She and this man will never meet again. It's not worth delaying her earning money for him.
Quail eggs truly live up to their reputation as a trendy item; as soon as the surrounding residents heard that quail eggs were for sale, they all came over with baskets in hand.
The stall was packed with people, and they were asking for twenty or thirty people at a time.
It wasn't that the pharmaceutical factory employees were extravagant; it was just that the quail eggs were small. Twenty quail eggs made up a handful, and they were gone in a few bites, which looked rather pathetic.
Veteran workers who receive government-subsidized grain rations are very concerned about saving face. If others buy 20 or 30 rations, it's really embarrassing for you to buy only three or five.
It's not like they can't afford it. Thirty quail eggs only cost one yuan and eighty cents, which is definitely not cheap for ordinary families. But their pharmaceutical factory is doing well, and ordinary employees earn thirty or forty yuan a month, and there are many who earn seventy or eighty yuan.
Holiday benefits were good; they would give out grain or oil and salt ration coupons, so every household had enough to eat.
Buying a few dozen quail eggs is really nothing.
As people picked and chose, they found that quail eggs were small and not easily broken, resulting in minimal waste. When customers bought a lot, Chu Yu would give away the quail eggs with cracks, which made the buyers even happier, praising her for being a good businesswoman and generous!
Before noon, Chu Yu's basket of quail eggs was empty!
The surrounding stalls selling vegetables and steamed buns are doing well, but none of them are as successful as the ones in Chuyu.
Even though Chu Yu had made a lot of money in her previous life, she couldn't help but sigh that business was really easy these days.
With no competition or comparison, and a high tolerance among the masses, as long as you are bold enough and hardworking enough, getting rich is not a problem!
No wonder people say, "Those who build atomic bombs are not as well off as those who sell tea eggs, and those who wield scalpels are not as well off as those who wield razors."
That's really true!
My wallet was bulging with small bills, except for one ten-yuan note.
Chu Yu didn't dare to take out the money to count. In 1983, before the crackdown began, there were many robberies on the road. It would be bad if someone targeted him.
She didn't dare to delay. She rode her bike around the city a few times, bought Chu Chu an ice pop, and then went to a meat stall far from the pharmaceutical factory to buy two pounds of pork leg meat and five pounds of flour. Only when she saw that no one was following her did she feel relieved and went back.
When Chu Yu arrived at his doorstep, Shu Aiguo was sawing. He had already made two six-layer wooden frames, a speed that surprised Chu Yu.
"Second Uncle, it's done so quickly?"
“There’s not much work to do in the fields. Your Uncle Zheng told me that quails only start brooding in these few days, and if you miss it, they won’t hatch easily. I figured since we’re going to do this, we should hurry up,” Shu Aiguo said as he continued to pull the large saw.
Under the scorching sun, Shu Aiguo's skin was tanned dark, and sweat dripped down his neck, but he didn't feel tired at all.
Chu Yu sighed inexplicably. Shu Aiguo was a typical rural person with little knowledge. He only knew how to make a living from the land and never thought about doing business to make money.
Chu Yu brought him advanced ideas from later generations, and after he proposed raising quails to make money, although he could not fully agree with it, he was willing to try it.
He has strong execution skills, is hardworking, and is very driven in everything he does. A person like him will make money sooner or later.
Ultimately, people who know how to adapt can thrive anywhere.
"Second Uncle, I bought some pork leg meat. I'll cook you something delicious tonight!"
Shu Aiguo was amused by his niece's precocious tone. "Okay, Second Uncle is waiting for you to cook something delicious!"
Chu Xiang returned with her younger siblings after digging for luminous sand, and they all rushed over to her when they saw her.
"Sis, did you make any money today?" Xiao Jiang asked expectantly.
Chu Yu smiled, took out six cents from her pocket, and gave two cents to each person. "Take these and spend them!"
Xiao Jiang was overjoyed and kissed the two-cent coin like crazy, "Sister, you're the best! You must become rich and buy me delicious food every day!"
