When the crowd heard that such delicious pastries were half price today, those who wanted to leave began to hesitate.
"Give me one."
"I want one of each flavor."
Looking at Yao Qiuyue's stall, half of the thousand-layer cakes were sold out in an instant.
"Don't grab it from me, I was here first."
Yao Qiuyue packed the last piece in her hand with a smile.
"They're all sold out today, everyone should hurry up tomorrow!"
The vegetable seller grabbed Yao Qiyue's floral cloth and stopped her from closing her stall.
There were a lot of people surrounding Yao Qiyue just now. Not only did Yao sell well, but she also sold a lot of vegetables.
"What time will you come over tomorrow?"
Many people in the crowd who didn’t buy anything stretched their necks, waiting for Yao Qiyue’s answer.
Seeing that she couldn't get her floral fabric back, Yao Qiyue could only reluctantly agree, "I'll go to the grocery store after get off work tomorrow."
"I'll be here on time."
The vegetable seller got the answer and let go of his hand with satisfaction.
The crowd also dispersed in twos and threes, and some people did not forget to ask: "Make more cakes tomorrow, we didn't buy any."
Yao Qiyue: "Hey, this cake of mine is very difficult to make. I can't make as many as I want in one day."
"Look at my tiny arms and legs. I have limited energy!"
Everyone saw that Yao Qiyue was thin and had not eaten well in the Jiang family in recent years, so her face looked a little yellow.
If it weren't for her good looks, Yao Qiyue would look a bit pitiful now.
Before leaving, everyone was secretly thinking in their hearts that they must come early tomorrow to wait.
I can't afford to buy nothing when it's so cheap.
Yao Qiyue’s hunger marketing was good. With six yuan and fifty cents in her arms, she glanced around the market.
Finally, her eyes stopped at a sweet water shop, and she couldn't help but saliva.
There was a yellow flag above the stall with the words "Li's Sweet Water Shop" written on it.
Yao Qiyue couldn't help but watch the boss bring out all kinds of sweet drinks.
A bowl of sweet water costs two cents, and some of it is added with fresh yellow peaches, each of which is cut into pieces about the size of a coin.
There is also the rock sugar snow pear stewed with a whole pear.
Yao Qiyue thought that she had never tasted these things, so it didn’t matter if she hadn’t seen them before.
Now, looking at the flags fluttering in the wind, she seemed to have her appetite aroused.
Sweet osmanthus wine dumplings, 20 cents a bowl.
Yao Qiuyue packed a bowl of yellow peach sweet water for Xiaobao.
The market was about a twenty-minute walk from the Yao family. Yao Qiyue walked steadily with the three packed sweets.
Xiaobao was sitting on a small stool at the door and could see Yao Qiyue from afar.
He stood up excitedly and ran to Yao Qiyue.
"Mom, you're back? Have you sold all the cakes?"
Yao Qiyue held Xiaobao in one hand and smiled helplessly as she saw the child stealing glances at the backpack with sparkling eyes.
Xiaobao is young after all. At the age of two or three, he is very greedy and has no resistance to the novel foods made by Yao Qiuyue.
On the other hand, Jiang Ye, who was in his twenties and usually looked aloof and seemed to be uninterested in anything, unexpectedly fell in love with the cake made by Yao Qiyue.
"All the cakes are sold out, but I bought you some sweet water."
Xiaobao pretended to be calm and glanced at the sweet water in Yao Qiyue's hand. He wanted to get down immediately and take the sweet water from Yao Qiyue's hand, but he was about to go into the house.
He doesn't mind taking a moment.
Yao Qiyue looked at Xiaobao's big eyes rolling around, and the child's thoughts were all shown on his face.
She was amused the whole way.
Jiang Ye was chopping firewood in the yard. Yao Qiyue had often taken him to the clinic recently, and perhaps because he had left the Jiang family, he had relieved a lot of the depression in his heart.
He really liked studying at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Jiang's father and mother would go directly to the school and bring him back.
If he went home just to marry Yao Qiyue, he wouldn't have so many complaints. He even felt sorry for Yao Qiyue and was willing to take care of her for the rest of her life.
However, Jiang's mother used this incident as an excuse to lock him up at home, and being unable to continue his studies was a lifelong regret for him.
He also wanted to resent Jiang's mother. Just as Jiang's mother said, the Jiang family raised him for twenty years, and even if he wanted to repay Jiang's father and mother for their upbringing, he should give up his studies.
After all, the Jiang family could no longer afford to pay him any extra money to continue his studies.
He also used the money he earned from working part-time to pay for Jiang Jie's treatment. Now that Jiang Jie is well, he can no longer suppress his worries.
The teacher tried his best to help him apply for leave of absence, and now it has been almost three years.
Jiang Ye couldn't help but sigh softly when he thought of this.
Although he wanted to go back to study, he could not abandon Yao Qiyue and her son.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
"Be careful, the axe is about to hit your hand."
Yao Qiyue also wanted to sigh in her heart. Xiaobao could see through everything at a glance. It seemed that he was like Jiang Ye.
She couldn't help but touch her chin, thinking narcissistically that after so many years of struggling in society, she had already developed the ability to not show her displeasure.
People nowadays are simpler and easier to understand. As society develops, there are no more and more fraudulent methods, and people have not become more cautious.
People in the 1960s seemed more humane, like Xiao Li from the street office and Aunt Meng next door.
Yao Qiyue looked at Jiang Ye's absent-minded look and consoled him, "I sold more than six pieces of cake today."
"When I go to work at a grocery store, I can make twenty-two dollars a month."
"You should go back to school next month. At least you should get your diploma. Otherwise, it would be such a shame."
Jiang Ye looked at Yao Qiyue in shock. For a moment he thought he was hallucinating, and the firewood in front of him became illusory.
"What did you say?"
Jiang Ye heard his own voice, which seemed to be as ethereal as if it were in the clouds.
Although he wanted to go back to study, he never thought that Yao Qiyue would say such a thing.
For a moment he was at a loss.
Yao Qiyue thought Jiang Ye didn't want to go back to school. Thinking about her original attitude towards going to college, it seemed that she didn't like it that much, nor did she dislike it that much.
"If you don't want to go to school, fine. I just think it's a shame not to have a diploma."
Maybe Jiang Ye thinks that the diploma is not that important?
Yao Qiyue felt that she could not force this matter, as everyone had different ideas, and she expressed respect and understanding.
Jiang Ye didn't expect that his hesitation would cause Yao Qiyue to misunderstand him. He shouted nervously, "That's what I thought."
Facing Yao Qiyue's gaze, Jiang Ye said firmly: "I want to go back to school."
Yao Qiyue nodded. It seemed that she had to earn more money. Jiang Ye’s school was not very close to the capital.
Xiaobao had no opinion on his parents' decision. He just stared at the sweet drink in Yao Qiyue's hand.
