With Ruan Changsheng's pace, it would take him half a day to reach the town. But now because he was carrying another person, although the young man was light-bodied, he was still an adult, so it took him most of the day to get there.
When they were almost at the town, the young man got off him, threw the sack and walked away.
Ruan Changsheng followed her panting and asked her, "Can you tell me your name and where you are from? Can we... be friends?"
The young man turned his head to look at him and said, "My name is Qian Chuan, and my home is in this town."
Ruan Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "Qian Chuan?"
This name is really vivid. She guessed that he was the reincarnation of Qian Chuan, who dared to speculate and sell things in this world.
Qian Chuan ignored him and asked again: "What about you? What's your name? What are you doing in town?"
Ruan Changsheng's breathing became much calmer: "My name is Ruan Changsheng, from Fengyan Brigade, I'm here to restock the tailor shop."
"Restock?"
Qian Chuan showed that he was very interested in these two words. Ruan Changsheng
nodded, "Restock."
Qian Chuan smiled, "Then I'll go and have some fun with you."
The two of them became friends, Qian Chuan didn't try to get rid of Ruan Changsheng anymore, and walked to town with him. When she arrived in town, she didn't rush home, but followed Ruan Changsheng to the state-owned store again.
Ruan Changsheng took the list to restock, and she watched from the side.
She asked, "Does your family run a tailor shop?"
Ruan Changsheng said, "My niece's tailor shop, and she asked me to come and help stock up."
Qian Chuan was very curious, "How old is your niece? She's old enough to be a tailor."
Ruan Changsheng: "She's not very old, only fifteen."
Qian Chuan: "She's already a tailor at this age? Sure, when you have time, go and see her."
Ruan Changsheng turned around and asked her, "Then how old are you?"
Qian Chuan said, "I'm three years older than your niece. I'm eighteen."
Ruan Changsheng smiled, "Then I'm two years older than you. I'm twenty this year."
Who cares how old you are? Qian Chuan deliberately said, "Oh, you look a little old, like thirty."
Ruan Changsheng: "..."
Little brother, do you want to get beaten?
The two chatted while buying things in the state-owned store.
Ruan Changsheng didn't plan to stay in the town for long. He walked out for a while and said to Qian Chuan, "I have to go back after buying some goods. If you don't have anything to do, go home. Go home and take a shower and wash your face. You are so dirty. Do you look like a woman? I will come to play with you when I have time. Tell me where these things came from."
As he spoke, he pointed at the sack on her shoulder.
What does it have to do with you whether she looks like a woman or not?
Qian Chuan thought about it, and suddenly grabbed Ruan Changsheng's wrist and pulled him to a place where people could not see her. After stopping, she put down the sack and said, "Don't be too busy. I'll give you some today. Do you want it?"
Ruan Changsheng was a little surprised. "Give it to me?"
Qian Chuan smiled at him and said, "Of course, I'll pay you."
Ruan Changsheng was not stupid. He knew what Qian Chuan meant. She was a seller anyway. It didn't matter who she sold it to. Instead of going to the mountains and running around, it was better to sell it directly to him and get a lot of money back at once.
Ruan Changsheng looked at her for a moment, "Then you have to give me a discount."
Qian Chuan was straightforward, "Of course."
Ruan Changsheng happened to have the errand fee that Ruan Xi gave him, so he picked and chose in the sack, picked out some things that he thought would sell well, and bargained with Qian Chuan several times. Finally, he paid the money and put the things into his schoolbag.
Qian Chuan received the money with a bright smile on her face. She happily rolled up the money and put it in her pocket, then picked up the sack and said to Ruan Changsheng, "Okay, I'm going home, so I won't keep you here."
Ruan Changsheng also stood up, "Why don't you tell me now where you got these things?"
Qian Chuan still spoke bluntly, "That won't work. If you still want to sell them next time, you can come to the town to find me and I will give them to you. My house is next to Tianfeng Primary School, you can just ask my name there."
Ruan Changsheng: "..."
This girl is so cunning!
After Qian Chuan left, Ruan Changsheng didn't stay in the town any longer.
He took the replenished goods and the sundries Qian Chuan gave him and went back to the mountains along the way he came.
However, this time he did not rush home. He went to villages along the way and went to places where there were people. When he found a place with people, he would quietly pull people over and ask like a thief -
"Master, do you want a cigarette to taste?"
"Madam, do you want a tip?"
"Do you want candy?"
"Are there mice stealing food at home? I have rat poison!"
...
Because he used to hang out outside and had contact with many people, he knew more or less about every village on Fengming Mountain, and he was very good at finding people and judging people. It seemed that he could tell what others really needed, so it was very easy for him to sell things.
But after all, it was his first time doing this, and he knew that he would be in trouble if he was caught, so he was always very careful and did not dare to do it freely. Whenever there was a slight disturbance, he would immediately run away.
He had no other skills, but he was strong enough to fight and run fast.
He sold things secretly while sneaking up the mountain. However, he had only walked through half of the village in Fengming Mountain and bought all the things he bought from Qianchuan.
Of course, he didn't take more. He took a total of 1.5 yuan worth of goods, and after selling them, he made 70 cents after deducting the cost.
70 cents is not a small amount. It can buy a pound of wine and eat a pound of pork.
He worked hard in the production team for a month, but only made five or six yuan. Now he just moved his mouth and walked a little more to make 70 cents. This money was really easy and happy to earn.
Of course, no matter how happy he was, he couldn't let others know. He didn't even plan to tell his family, lest they worry about him being arrested. Especially if his second sister-in-law Sun Xiaohui knew about it, wouldn't she be jealous and report him?
Ruan Changsheng got home in the afternoon. Ruan Xi and Ruan Cuizhi were still in the shop at that time, so he didn't go home, but went to Jinguan Village first, which happened to be closer than Fengyan Village.
Arriving at the tailor shop, he gave the things he bought to Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi looked at them and found no problem, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."
Ruan Changsheng was very happy, and he also smiled and said, "Call me if you have such good things in the future."
Ruan Xi nodded, "Okay, as long as you don't mind being tired."
Ruan Changsheng didn't feel tired at all, "What's so tiring about running a little? Can it be more tiring than going to the mountains to dig for minerals?"
He originally loved to run around and hang out, and didn't like to be trapped. There was no place in the mountains that he hadn't been to.
Besides, there was a fee for running around now, and he could use the fee to get goods from Qian Chuan, and sell goods on the way back. There was no such good thing as being comfortable and making money. He wished he could run every day.
Ruan Cuizhi also said, "You really don't mind being tired. You've loved running around since you were little."
The three of them were talking like this, and when they were getting excited, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Is the little tailor here?"
Ruan Xi immediately responded, "Yes!"
After answering, he and Ruan Cuizhi went out together, and saw a woman with short hair coming to the door. She was accompanied by a young man in his twenties, and judging from his face, he should be her son.
Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Xi welcomed the two people into the house and asked if they wanted to make clothes or alter clothes.
The woman with short hair had smiles in her eyes and mouth. She looked at Ruan Xi and said, "My son got a good job in town. I plan to make him two decent sets of clothes, so I want to ask you to come home in the next two days."
Ruan Xi smiled and agreed. Ruan Cuizhi had already taken a tape measure to measure the woman's son's size.
The woman with the short hair took out the cloth she had bought and showed it to Ruan Xi. She discussed with her, "I bought khaki and velvet. I plan to make two sets to wear alternately. What style do you think would be better?"
Ruan Xi took a look at the cloth and didn't think much of anything extraordinary. She just said, "How about making two sets of uniforms for you? A complete set of uniforms is very fashionable and energetic when worn on the body. Many people in the city wear them like this."
Who in the mountains has ever seen a city person? The woman with the short hair had bright eyes: "Really?"
Ruan Xi nodded, "Yes, I'll draw a picture and bring it to you to see."
Ruan Xi's craftsmanship is now known to people in the mountains. Everyone knew that the woman with black hair was very confident in her. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to come over the day after tomorrow to help you lift the machine. Our brigade is a little far from here, about 30 miles away. When I came, many people in the team said that when you go there, they will ask you to change your clothes, and you may have to stay for a few days."
This kind of thing is very common. Ruan Xi nodded, "Okay, I'll pack a few clothes to take with me."
After that, she asked another question, "Which brigade are you from?"
The woman said, "Akabane Brigade."
Hearing the name of the brigade, Ruan Xi and Ruan Cuizhi didn't react, just said they knew. Ruan Changsheng was slightly stunned at the side, but he was just stunned for a moment, and then he was back to normal.
He chatted as usual and asked the woman, "Has Xie Tao from your brigade found a boyfriend?"
The woman looked at Ruan Changsheng and suddenly realized that he looked familiar. After a long while, she said, "Have you been to our brigade? You are... the one Taozi had a blind date with before, right? The guy named Ruan, right?" Ruan
Changsheng had indeed been to Chiyu Brigade twice when he met Xie Tao. Because the two villages were far apart and Xie Tao was a girl, if he wanted to get to know her better, he would naturally go to Chiyu Brigade.
He said nonchalantly, "It's not a match, there's no chance of it happening."
The woman looked at Ruan Changsheng and said, "Why? You haven't found a match yet? Taozi later looked at two more, but she didn't like any of them. She's probably still thinking about you, waiting for you to give in when you can't find a match, and then go find her."
Ruan Cuizhi came over after taking the measurements, and asked in confusion, "What concessions?"
Didn't they say that the relationship ended because their personalities were not compatible?
Hearing Ruan Cuizhi ask this, Ruan Changsheng suddenly realized something and quickly interrupted, "Nothing, nothing."
He must have lost his mind just now, because when he heard the woman say that she was from the Akabane Brigade, he subconsciously said that. At this point, he realized that he couldn't say that in front of his third sister!
So he interrupted and wanted to send the woman away, but the woman was aroused to gossip. She felt uncomfortable before she finished talking, so she pushed him aside and looked at Ruan Cuizhi and said, "The Xie family has opinions about his third sister."
Ruan Changsheng was so anxious that he wanted to cover the woman's mouth, but was pulled away by her son.
The woman then said, "The Xie family means that if he sends his third sister back to her husband's house, the marriage will go smoothly. If he doesn't send his third sister back to her husband's house, then it won't work."
After hearing this, Ruan Cuizhi's face darkened and she looked at Ruan Changsheng.
Ruan Changsheng gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, wanting to slap himself in the face.
Ruan Xi didn't know about this before, and now she was stunned after hearing it. She turned her head to look at Ruan Changsheng, and from his expression, she knew that he and Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua had deliberately kept this a secret and didn't let Ruan Cuizhi know.
Ruan Cuizhi looked at Ruan Changsheng and asked, "Is this true?"
Ruan Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "Third sister, don't listen to her nonsense, it's not true."
The woman's eyes widened slightly when she heard it, "Third sister?"
She looked at Ruan Cuizhi, "Are you his third sister?"
Then she asked Ruan Xi, "What about you, the little tailor?"
Ruan Xi said, "I'm his niece."
After hearing this, the woman lowered her brows and froze for a moment, as if she was sorting out something.
After a long time, she seemed to have sorted it out. She raised her head and looked at Ruan Xi again and said, "Everyone in the mountain calls you the little tailor. If you are not from the nearby brigade, who would know whose girl you are! It turns out that you are from the Ruan family of Fengyan Brigade? Then your third aunt is here with you now. Is she a tailor with you?"
Ruan Xi nodded, "My third aunt is also very skilled. All the work in the shop is done by me and her together."
After hearing this, the woman She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she turned around and packed her cloth, stuffed it in, and hurried out with her son, saying, "Little tailor, I'm leaving now. I'll ask someone to pick you up the day after tomorrow."
Ruan Xi didn't even have time to see her off, so she could only look at her back and say, "Take care."
The woman hurriedly left with her son, leaving only Ruan Cuizhi, Ruan Xi, and Ruan Changsheng in the room.
Ruan Cuizhi looked at Ruan Changsheng and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ruan Changsheng returned to his indifferent look, "If you don't want to, forget it. What's there to say?"
It had been half a year, and Ruan Changsheng hadn't looked for a date. Ruan Cuizhi just looked at him and asked, "Is it because you like this girl named Xie that you don't want to go on blind dates anymore?"
Ruan Changsheng just laughed and said, "What does that have to do with anything? I've only been in contact with her a few times. It's not about liking or not liking her. I just think blind dates are meaningless, like doing business, so I plan to find someone myself."
Ruan Cuizhi asked again . "Really don't like her?"
Ruan Changsheng said in a firm tone: "It's really not that serious. Third sister, don't think too much. When she made this request, it was impossible for me to have anything with her. Even if her family was willing to make concessions later, I would not marry her. She hasn't even married me yet, and you want me to drive my own sister away. Won't there be more trouble after marriage?"
Ruan Cuizhi looked at him and took a deep breath, then suddenly turned around and sat on the bench without saying anything.
Ruan Changsheng could see that she was blaming herself, and hurried over to pat her back and said: "Third sister, don't think too much. You don't have any problems. It's all their family's problem. Believe me, I will definitely bring a girl who is better than her back to be your sister-in-law."
Ruan Cuizhi turned her head to look at him.
Ruan Xi also came over and said, "Third aunt, I believe that Fifth Uncle can do it."
Ruan Cuizhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes! My brother is handsome and suave, he can definitely do it!"
On the other side, the woman with black hair hurriedly took her son to her home on the mountain road for thirty miles. The first thing she did when she got home was not to go home, but to go straight to Xie's door. When she got there, she asked for a drink of water, sat down and said to Xie's mother, "Oh, your peach is very lucky!"
Xie's mother didn't understand, so she just asked, "Why are you saying this?"
