224: You have the sweetest mouth!
Just as he was thinking this, Xu Ying came out of the main room after clearing the dishes and called out to Yu Erye:
"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you just fetch some water to water the vegetables?"
"oh!"
Yu Erye responded quickly, not daring to delay for a moment. He ran to the kitchen, picked up the bucket, rushed out of the house, and went to the small river behind to fetch water.
Under Xu Ying's training, Yu Erye worked much faster.
Yu Xiaoye sighed silently:
——Chaos!
Oh, she forgot. She was about to chase her father, but was stopped by her second brother. By this time, her father must have gone to work, so Yu Xiaoye didn't chase him.
She went into the kitchen, watched her mother start washing dishes, and told her mother that she planned to go to the county town again today to sell some things on the black market for some money to buy some things for the house.
Xu Ying asked while washing the dishes:
"Why didn't you mention this last night?"
"Last night I didn't realize I'd have to go to the field office in three days. I wanted to wait two more days, but there are only three days left. I have to quickly pack some clothes for the trip, so I can only go today and come back tomorrow."
Xu Ying thought of something and stopped washing the dishes:
"By the way, how are you going to explain to your silly second brother where you went?"
"Talk to him the same way you talk to others, and try to be consistent."
"Are you talking about the story of an aunt in the county? If that could fool others, could it fool him? He's not so stupid as to not know whether there is an aunt or not, right? Besides, I have no memory, right? Even if I have no memory, I can still remember my old sisters."
Yu Xiaoye smiled:
"Mom, can't you just say we're old sisters from when we were in the county town? Just say we met in the ward when we were both hospitalized, and we got along really well, so we became sworn sisters and just hang out when we have nothing to do."
"Oh, oh, is this okay?"
"No problem, he won't delve into it."
After saying that, Yu Xiaoye prepared to leave and went to borrow a bicycle from Jia Song.
As soon as he turned around, he thought of his second brother's pitiful appearance, and turned back to persuade him:
"Mom, after I'm gone, you and Dad should be nicer to my second brother."
Xu Ying was unhappy when she heard this:
"Have I not been good to him? I've made sure he's well fed and watered, and I've never deducted anything from him. Even though I knew he was stupid and dumb, I still went to great lengths to get someone to teach him. He got cheated, and to vent my anger on him, I almost beat my child. How else can I treat him well? I was planning to make him a new pair of shoes these past two days. I haven't been able to make you a new pair myself, so I'll make them for him first. He should be content, right? You heartless bastard, how can I treat him badly?!"
When Yu Xiaoye heard that her mother was going to make new shoes for her second brother, she was very happy. She didn't feel at all that her parents' love was taken away by her other brothers and sisters. On the contrary, she still hoped that her parents could be nicer to this stupid second brother.
It's really not easy to be so stupid.
She hugged Xu Ying's arm and said coquettishly:
"I just know that my mother is the best and kindest."
Xu Ying felt sweet in her heart when her daughter coaxed her:
"You have the sweetest mouth!"
Yu Xiaoye hugged Xu Ying's arm and shook it, then changed the subject and said:
"Also, try to hit him less and scold him less in the future. He's a simple-minded person. He's afraid of you hitting him or scolding him."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll change. I won't hit or scold you anymore, okay?"
"Hehe, Mom is so nice!"
Yu Xiaoye rubbed Xu Ying again, then let go of Xu Ying's arm and went out to find Jia Song.
Walking out of the courtyard, he ran into his second brother who was carrying water from the creek behind him. Yu Xiaoye went up to him and said:
"I've already told Mom, and she promised me that she won't hit you or scold you anymore."
Yu Erye's face lit up with joy:
"Really?"
"Really, my mother keeps her word."
Yu Erye finally smiled knowingly, carried the bucket into the yard with a relaxed look on his face, and started watering the land.
Then, Yu Xiaoye walked not far away when he heard Xu Ying roar again:
"Can't you water it slower? It's like a flood. Look, it's made a big hole in the ground and knocked down my seedlings. I'm going to kill you!"
“——”
Why!
The chaos is unbearable——
Chaos!
Yu Xiaoye went to borrow a bicycle from Jia Song. Since they had agreed before, Jia Song had no choice but to lend it to him.
Afterwards, Yu Xiaoye went home, told Xu Ying something and left.
Xu Ying knew that her daughter had the space to support her, so it was relatively safe for her to go out. This time she was not as worried as last time, but she still accompanied her for a long distance and repeatedly told her to be careful on the road.
This time the bike ride to the county town was relatively smooth. I didn’t encounter any wolves or dead roe deer on the road. I arrived at the county town in about an hour.
This time, she learned from her last lesson. As soon as she arrived in the county town, she went straight to the department store, took out the shopping list she had written in advance, and swept through the department store, buying a lot of things.
I bought myself a flashlight so that I can bring it to the field office. Her high-intensity flashlight is too dazzling and she can't take it out normally.
He took out the cloth coupons he had exchanged on the black market last time and bought a large piece of fabric for bed sheets and quilt covers. It was olive green, the style of that era.
Then I bought myself a brand new enamel washbasin and foot basin.
The people at the counter saw that she was so generous with her money, buying two basins at a time, and thought she was buying them for her wedding dowry, so they specially gave her two basins with dragon and phoenix and double happiness printed on them.
Yu Xiaoye tactfully asked the salesperson to replace two with the ordinary ones.
In addition to these, I bought four pairs of socks, a bunch of buttons, five packs of toilet paper, two tubes of toothpaste, two toothbrushes, two large soup plates, and two packs of washing powder.
I wanted to buy some soap, but it's in short supply lately. If I don't have a soap ticket, they won't sell it to me even if I raise the price, so I had to give up.
After buying these, she didn't dare buy anything else for fear of arousing suspicion.
These days
Her salary wasn't high, but prices were high. These things alone had cost her more than 40 yuan.
Being able to spend money so lavishly is already very generous.
When paying, the sales clerks at the surrounding counters all cast strange looks at Yu Xiaoye, muttering in their hearts, this prodigal son, doesn't he feel sorry for spending money!
I don’t know whose children they are.
I was suspicious and secretly envious at the same time.
Yu Xiaoye put away these things, found a deserted place and put them back in the space, then went to another department store and continued the raid.
This time I bought myself a Hero brand fountain pen, a bottle of blue ink, and a notebook of stationery to write things down.
She also bought a small piece of floral cloth, planning to go back and make a cloth bag for herself. It would be very inconvenient to be outside without a bag. The military satchel she bought before was a bit expensive, so she didn't dare to use it.
Then, I bought a piece of soft white cloth and went home to make a few vests for myself and my mother, and also sew some shorts.
I bought another piece of gray cloth and sewed a few pairs of shorts for my father and second brother.
I also bought a net bag for the washbasin and a bundle of ropes to use when I get home to pack my luggage or for other purposes.
