Chapter 497 Acting (I)
"Grandpa, can I go catch chickens with Uncle Dafu?" Unexpectedly, Ji Ziang turned his head and asked again.
Before Ji Zixuan could retract the expression on his face, his brows furrowed.
I thought Ji Ziang had finally grown up for once, but he turned out to be like a child again, thinking only about playing all day long.
Li Zhiming smiled dotingly: "Go ahead."
After getting permission, Ji Ziang ran away.
After more than 20 minutes, Dafu finally came back with Ji Ziang. The chicken had been killed and was placed in a black bag, which Ji Ziang was carrying.
At noon, Ji Yuanyuan and his two siblings looked after the children while Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming prepared a delicious fried chicken.
After dinner, Li Xiang followed Liu Guihua to take a nap obediently without making any more noise.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan was relieved.
The three of them settled down in the countryside.
…
The fourth day of May was the big market in Qili Village, and Ji Yuanyuan got up at around seven o'clock to clean up.
After dinner, he took Ji Ziang to the market.
The reason why Ji Zixuan was not brought along was because Ji Zixuan sometimes had too strong a sense of morality.
There are some things that I'm really afraid he can't do.
What's more, there are two children at home who also need Ji Zixuan's help.
If Ji Ziang was at home, he would probably take Li Xiang with him and make the house a mess.
The two people were riding Li Lei's bicycle.
Speaking of which, this bicycle was bought by Li Xu when Li Lei just retired from the army.
Li Lei has been riding it for seven years, but he is still reluctant to throw it away.
First, it was bought by Li Xu for him, so it was a souvenir. Second, it would be a waste to buy a new one since he rolled around on the ground all day.
Li Lei rode to the fields all day long and didn't mind the ugliness of his bike, but this made life difficult for Ji Ziang.
This seven-year-old car makes noises everywhere except the bell.
Not long after walking out, Ji Ziang complained: "Why don't we just not go?"
Ji Yuanyuan sat in the back seat: "No, I have something to do, I'm sure you'll be interested."
Ji Ziang became curious: "What's the matter? Tell me first, and then I'll decide..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the bicycle chain fell off.
Ji Ziang quickly braked the car, "It's over, the chain fell off, I'm afraid I can't go!"
Ji Yuanyuan jumped down from the back seat, thought for a moment, then leaned over to whisper in Ji Ziang's ear.
The more he talked, the more excited Ji Ziang became.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Ji Ziang immediately propped up the bicycle, then squatted down and rolled up his sleeves: "It's okay, we can still go. The chain is not broken, just get on."
The chain was black, but Ji Ziang didn't mind and started to put the chain on the bicycle directly.
Ji Yuanyuan also squatted down and wanted to help him.
Ji Ziang blocked her with his elbow and said, "Don't get involved. I'll do it."
I have been riding a bike to school since junior high school, and the chain has fallen off countless times.
Ji Ziang had become quite proficient with practice, and he had fixed the car in no time.
Ji Yuanyuan jumped onto the back seat again, and Ji Ziang pedaled very hard this time.
The journey that should have taken half an hour ended in just twenty minutes.
Ji Ziang pushed the car into the heavy traffic with sweat all over his forehead.
The car cost fifty cents. Ji Ziang paid the money and the person in charge of checking the car gave Ji Ziang a small sign.
Ji Ziang casually stuffed it into his pocket.
Coming out of the traffic, the two men squeezed into the crowd again.
I haven’t been here for many years. In fact, Ji Yuanyuan just wanted to try his luck today.
She had met Jiang Lingxue's aunt many years ago.
At that time, she was squatting on the ground, talking smugly to the woman next to her.
When talking about Jiang Lingxue, all his words were full of insults.
At that time, she just sold the leftover vegetables she grew at home. She didn’t have a fixed stall at the market and I don’t know if she still has one now.
Ji Yuanyuan took Ji Ziang to the place where the woman had been a long time ago, but after so many years, the person had already been replaced.
Ji Yuanyuan felt a little disappointed, but since she was already here, she couldn't just leave like that.
She took Ji Ziang's hand and walked around in the crowd.
She didn't have much hope at first, but unexpectedly, at the edge of the market, Ji Yuanyuan actually saw a face similar to the woman she remembered.
She stood not far away and looked at the woman several times.
Although it happened many years ago, Ji Yuanyuan still has a deep impression of this woman.
So, after taking a few glances, Ji Yuanyuan said to Ji Ziang with certainty: "It's her. There's a mole on her chin, there's no doubt about it."
Ji Ziang understood clearly.
The two men pretended to look around and chatted about irrelevant things, and soon they arrived at the woman's stall.
There was a pile of tomatoes and peppers in front of the woman. They didn’t look good, and one could tell at a glance that they were just grown at home for eating.
Ji Yuanyuan looked down at the dishes, looking a little hesitant.
"Would you like to buy some? These are all grown at home, without any pesticides. Don't be fooled by their appearance, they are safe to eat." The woman quickly took a smaller tomato and handed it to Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan took it, looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Get a bag and have some."
The woman quickly brought over a bag.
Ji Yuanyuan squatted down and picked tomatoes one by one.
Ji Ziang also squatted down.
"It's been so many years, you must have seen it wrong. Shen Lingxue left our village not long after she stayed there. I heard that her mother died shortly after her divorce from my third uncle." Ji Ziang whispered.
When the woman heard the name Shen Lingxue, she thought she had heard it wrong, and there was a moment of surprise on her face.
"Yes, it's her. She's still called Ling Xue, but she changed her last name to Jiang Ling Xue. Her adoptive mother seems to be quite rich and dotes on her. The clothes she wears are all very nice. But her adoptive mother doesn't seem to know about her past..."
Before Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Shen Lingxue's aunt couldn't help but ask, "Wait, who are you talking about? Shen Lingxue? Do you know her?"
Ji Yuanyuan was surprised: "Yes, you know him too?"
Shen Lingxue's aunt was naturally embarrassed to reveal her identity, after all, it was she who sent Shen Lingxue to the welfare home.
She touched her hair awkwardly: "Ah, her grandfather and I are neighbors."
Ji Yuanyuan said, "We are from Jijiawan. Shen Lingxue stayed in our village for a while, but later moved away."
Aunt Shen Lingxue nodded thoughtfully: The man that slut later found seemed to be from Jijiawan.
"You said, Shen Lingxue is adopted now? And changed her name?"
Ji Yuanyuan pretended to be envious: "Yes, my family moved to the city, and I met her when I went to play at a classmate's house. Her mother is quite rich now, and she buys her whatever she wants, and gives her a lot of pocket money."
