Erbao's whereabouts
Hu Yufeng was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night, but Xizi, who was sleeping next to her, was snoring very sweetly. She was actually a little envious.
After closing the stall the next day, Hu Yufeng took Xizi and knocked on her sister's door.
"What are you thinking, Yufang? Xizi is going to look for Erbao? You can even think of this. Aren't you afraid of losing another one?" He started scolding his sister Hu Yufeng as soon as he saw her.
Hu Yufang felt very aggrieved: "Then someone has to go find Erbao. If Erbao is lost, she is the one who should go. If she doesn't go, who should I go?"
"Who asked him to look for me? The bastard, he not only failed to find me, but also lost himself. I've never seen anyone so stupid..." Xizi was unhappy and shouted to join the fight.
"Alright, alright... Go out and look at the child first. You don't miss your child after not seeing him for half a year? Why are you here to get involved!" After Hu Yufeng scolded Xizi, she turned around and scolded her sister:
"It's a different era now. Look for it. If you know where Erbao has gone, look for him. Which direction are you looking for?"
"What can I do? His father doesn't care. Or we can just give up looking for him and let him go wherever he wants." Hu Yufang gave up.
"Erbao is not your biological son yet. You two don't care about Dabao, and you can even lose Erbao. What else can we expect you to do?" Hu Yufeng was so angry that she almost died.
When she first invited her brother-in-law to come home, she said that he was unreliable, but her mother insisted that he had a skill that would keep him from starving.
He himself will not starve to death. If it weren’t for the silly sister who was as strong as several old oxen, the whole family would have almost starved to death.
Dabao saw that he had to go out to find a job early, and as a result, his parents really didn't care about anything.
Erbao did fulfill his obligations, but he was given a child with a unclear mind, and the two children he gave birth to looked confused.
"Why don't we try going to the police station and maybe they can find a way to get it back," Qin Wenli suggested when he saw the two were silent for a moment.
"But we dare not go to the police station. Erbao hasn't broken any law. Why should we go to the police station? No, no, no." Hu Yufang firmly objected. She had a natural fear of the lower-class people towards the government offices.
"Xizi can't go out anyway, and you can't handle it alone at home. Xizi can still lend a hand, so let him stay at home and help you." Hu Yufeng made the final decision.
"My mother hides salt and vinegar in the cupboard and doesn't let me eat them. I don't want to stay at home. I want to go to my aunt's house..." Xizi muttered.
Hu Yufeng was shocked. It wasn’t the 1960s and they weren’t starving. She really had no idea her sister would do such a thing.
She was so angry that she poked her sister's forehead with a finger: "You said you were good but you learned all kinds of nonsense. What are you doing? You can't afford salt and you said I would buy it for you. Why do you lock it in the cabinet?"
Hu Yufang finally felt a little embarrassed: "This child is a waste of things. I don't think I can save some money by controlling him."
Hu Yufeng was too lazy to talk about her sister anymore.
She coaxed Xizi and said, "Stay at home for two days. You've been away for a few months. You should get close to the children. Go back and see your parents. You can come to your aunt's house when you want to."
Xizi agreed reluctantly.
"What about the second baby?" Hu Yufang was a little worried about her son.
"Why don't I call my brother Dabao and ask him. If Erbao can't find Xizi, maybe he can go to him..." Qin Wenli suddenly thought.
With Erbao's impulsive personality, he might really go to find his brother.
"Okay, then Wenli, please help ask." Hu Yufang felt relieved again.
"Then we'll leave. Xizi, you stay at home. And Yufang, don't send Xizi out." Hu Yufeng worriedly reminded her sister as they walked away.
Yang Xiu watched the whole show and couldn't help but worry about the life of his aunt's family.
This is a very abnormal family. How have they been living these years?
Qin Wenli called Dabao and asked, and Dabao replied that he had not seen him, but would call back if he had seen him.
He hung up without asking any more questions at home.
Qin Wenli frowned: "Brother Dabao, have you become estranged from your family?"
"Your aunt and uncle are like this. They would divorce their sons if they had one. They don't even care about their marriage. What else can the children expect from them?"
Hu Yufeng looked down on her sister.
Somewhere in New Brunswick, Erbao was hammering away with a sledgehammer, and the sparks made his skin look even darker.
A middle-aged woman used a towel to wipe the sweat from his neck.
"Take a break and drink some water." The woman handed over a bowl of water.
Erbao chuckled: "Not tired..." He took the water and drank it all in one gulp, then he let out a comfortable sigh.
Whether the second baby can be found or not, we have to go on with our lives.
Lao Qin's tofu stall has attracted a large number of repeat customers thanks to its good taste.
The fried dough twist stall is like a rising star. New faces come here after hearing the news, while old faces also stick to it.
On this day, Lao Fang from Lao Fang Store in Shangguan Town walked over.
Lao Fang is about fifty years old, a fair and wealthy old man.
He smiled and said, "Big sister, I want to discuss business with you."
Old Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Please wait for me, brother. I will come over after I pack up my stall."
"It should be."
After closing the stall, Hu Yufeng gave Yang Xiu a few instructions and walked towards Lao Fang's store.
Seeing her come in, Lao Fang hurriedly offered her a seat: "Big sister, your business is booming. I saw that you sold a few fried dough twists at the market..."
"I don't deserve your praise. I just took advantage of it. It's all thanks to the support of my fellow villagers..." Hu Yufeng said modestly.
"If you ask me, your fried dough twist is delicious, but..." Lao Fang changed the subject:
"But it's a pity that we can only eat it on market days. So I was thinking about whether I could get some of your fried dough twist wholesale so that I can sell it in my store."
Seeing Hu Yufeng hesitate, Lao Fang said hurriedly:
"It won't delay your going to the market. Just send me forty sticks every two days. Just take the bus and bring them up."
Hu Yufeng thought for a moment and said, "Then let me discuss this with my son and I'll get back to you later."
Lao Fang sent him to the door.
Hu Yufeng talked to Qin Wenli about this matter. Qin Wenli did some calculations and thought it was feasible. He planned to sell about a hundred sticks in five days.
The days in between are empty. If Lao Fang is given a delivery every two days, it means that 20 sticks can be sold every day.
Qin Wenli explained this to Hu Yufeng. In fact, Hu Yufeng already had an idea in her mind, and now she became more determined.
She took Qin Wenli back to Lao Fang's store.
"Sister, how are you discussing this with your nephew?"
"Thank you for thinking highly of me, brother. The wholesale price is 2.5 cents per stick. What do you think?"
"Can you offer a lower price, sister? I fell in love with you at first sight when watching this episode. This is fate. How about 20 cents per stick?" Lao Fang bargained.
Hu Yufeng laughed out loud: "Why would I be willing to negotiate with you when there are so many stores in this town? It's fate. 25 cents is the lowest. Please understand me. It's not easy to start a business at your age. It's 25 cents. If it's any lower, you will lose money."
The two of them argued back and forth, but Hu Yufeng refused to give in. In the end, the deal was sold for 25 cents, and Lao Zhao paid a deposit of 5 yuan. This was the biggest deal since he set up the stall.
