Chapter 6
How could Brother Huang not be attentive?
The dozens of pounds of meat that Yu Yao brought just now were sold out before they were even placed on the chopping board. Not only were they fresh, but each piece was cut so beautifully that he wouldn't believe it if the craftsmanship wasn't passed down from his ancestors.
Yu Yao became a little wary when she saw his changed attitude, but she didn't show that she cared too much.
She waited until the afternoon sun was setting before she sold all the meat to him, and she didn't notice that he had any bad intentions.
I think Brother Huang wants to have a long-term relationship with her.
As expected, when Yu Yao was about to leave, the other party gave her a piece of meat and said that he would give her a good price if they cooperated again next time.
Yu Yao also wanted to cooperate again, but she did not show too much eagerness. The person who speaks first will often fall into the passive position.
After the people left, Brother Biao frowned, "Brother Huang, it looks like this woman doesn't want to cooperate with us anymore, why are you still giving her meat?"
Such a big piece of meat would cost at least a few dollars.
Huang Ge: "You know nothing. As long as we are loyal, she will definitely come again."
Brother Biao wanted to ask them where the loyalty was, and if not robbing one’s fellow thieves was loyalty, but when he turned around, he saw his boss reading a book again.
The eldest son is good in everything except that he loves reading too much. He doesn’t go to school. What’s the use?
Yu Yao didn't know how effective her pretense of being profound was, but she felt in a good mood holding the piece of meat. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some eggs and cakes, and then carried the dried mushrooms and the piece of meat to the steel factory's property building.
Her eldest brother Yu Ping is a worker in a steel plant, and her eldest sister-in-law Zhao Tian is a propaganda officer. Her father Zhao Ming is the director of the steel plant. Many people in the village do not know their identities.
The Yu family often says that a tree lives by its skin and a person lives by his face.
Except for the eldest wife, no one else in the Yu family knew about this, for fear that someone would use Yu Ping's connections to come to the city to do business with the Xu family.
Yu Yao knew that her family still couldn't bear to part with their eldest brother, so she planned to go and test the waters. If she could help them to ease the relationship, she would help. She also wanted to tell them about Liu Yang's matter.
In male-oriented novels, the male protagonists are generally divided into two categories: those who are surrounded by women or those who are lonely all their lives. No matter which type, the men around them are buried with them. Although the Zhao family and the Liu family in the book are not good friends, they still know each other. She has to go and remind her eldest brother.
The steel plant is right behind the textile factory, so Yu Yao has to pass by the gate of the textile factory to go to the steel plant.
Having already asked for the news, Yu Yao didn't intend to let the security guard see her again, so she walked to the other side of the gate and walked past quickly from a distance. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a person who was riding a bicycle.
Yu Yao subconsciously protected the egg in his hand and fell backwards on his butt.
"Comrade, you...Comrade Yu Yao, why is it you?"
Yu Yao was looking at her eggs with heartache. She looked up when she heard someone calling her name.
Enemies often meet on a narrow road. The hero in the book, Liu Yang, got off his bicycle.
Although the male protagonist in the novel is not described in the same way as the male protagonist in the female channel, he has an outstanding temperament, gentle and elegant, and immediately gives Yu Yao a familiar feeling. However, Yu Yao does not have time to think about where she has seen him before, and the other party has already stepped forward to help her.
Yu Yao suddenly jumped up from the ground, wishing he could be eight hundred meters away from him.
Liu Yang looked at his empty hand in a daze, then raised his eyes and said innocently: "Comrade Yu Yao, I'm sorry, I... I was just worried that I bumped into you. Are you okay? Is your egg broken? I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some for you."
It must be said that he had a perfect balance between words and actions. If Yu Yao didn't know him well, it would be hard for her to dislike him, because at this moment, what he said should be sincere.
Some people are extremely deceptive when they are in a good mood. Yu Yao must stay away from them.
"No, comrade, I don't know you. Let's keep our distance."
Liu Yang frowned, then said awkwardly with a forced smile: "I didn't introduce myself. You are from Qingyang Village, right? I work in the commune. My name is Liu Yang. Last time I saw you with a few girls in the commune, I thought..." He didn't finish his words. He thought both parties should understand each other. How could so many girls not know him when they were peeking at him?
"Comrade Yu Yao, nice to meet you, can we be friends?"
He was very open and generous, and if it was someone else, it would be difficult to refuse him, especially at the end of the working day, when more and more people passed by.
But who is Yu Yao? She is not the little girl in this world who would be shy when talking to a man.
She picked up her things and was about to leave when she heard a sharp voice, "Ayang, who is this girl from?"
A woman in textile factory clothes stormed over from across the street. She was in her thirties, wearing a hairpin and leather shoes. She looked very fashionable, and her features resembled Liu Yang to a certain extent. Although she spoke enthusiastically, the look she gave Yu Yao was very unfriendly.
Where did this country girl come from who wants to covet her precious son?
As if he didn't notice Wu Hong's expression, Liu Yang stroked his mother's arm and introduced her, "This is Comrade Yu Yao from Qingyang Village whom I told you about."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, the other person looked at Yu Yao with wary eyes as if they were poisoned.
Suddenly, Yu Yao felt blessed and was no longer in a hurry to leave. She said timidly, "Auntie...Auntie."
Wu Hong instantly revealed a look of contempt. It was indeed something that could not be seen in public.
She ignored Yu Yao and turned to talk to her precious son, "Hurry up and go. You must be tired after a day's work. Mom will make you something delicious when you get home. Don't stop to say hello to any cat or dog you see."
"Auntie, how can you say that? I..." Yu Yao raised her eyes, her eye sockets slightly red and filled with tears, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
But the more the mother becomes, the more she dislikes this delicate country girl. She is pretty and can please men so well. If she marries into the family, will their family ever have a peaceful life?
Wu Hong would never agree!
"What? Do you still want to cheat our family?" Wu Hong said rudely, her eyes showing no disdain at all.
Yu Yao cast a pitiful look at Liu Yang, looking at him with an accusing look on her face, protesting silently.
"Comrade Yu Yao, my mother misunderstood. Don't mind it..."
"Liu Yang, are you leaving or not?" Wu Hong shouted, and pulled Liu Yang to leave.
Liu Yang pulled his bicycle and walked a few steps and looked back at Yu Yao, "Comrade Yu Yao, I will explain it to you later. Mom, what are you doing?"
The mother and son walked very quickly and soon their voices could no longer be heard.
But Wu Hong's loud voice just now attracted a lot of people's attention, most of whom were workers in the textile factory. However, no one would care about the trivial matters in Director Wu's family. Look at how lively it is. If you dare to care, you will suffer in the future.
The man guarding the gate opposite also shook his head, as if to say, I knew it wouldn't work. Who is Director Wu? Who can easily enter the Liu family's door?
Yu Yao felt that she had almost finished her performance, so she still looked like she was about to cry and pretended to walk away dejectedly.
After passing the textile factory, she seemed like a different person, holding her head high and heading towards the steel factory.
When Yu Yao arrived at his eldest brother and sister-in-law's house, only his eldest brother's mother, Wang Lian, was there.
When she heard that she was Yu Ping's sister, Wang Lian became very enthusiastic and smiled very brightly.
"You must be the third girl, right? I often hear your eldest brother talking about you. Come in and sit down. Your eldest brother and his wife will be back soon."
No matter whether the other party was sincere or not, the words were really nice and Yu Yao was also quite sweet-mouthed, so she pushed everything to the other party.
"You're here, why are you carrying so many things? Come and sit down."
After putting the things down, Aunt Wang immediately poured boiling water for Yu Yao and added a lot of brown sugar to it. This treatment can't be said to be bad, it's just too sweet.
Aunt Wang chatted with her for a few minutes and then prepared to cook.
Yu Yao couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so he quickly stepped forward to help.
After discovering that Yu Yao was really working and not just pretending, Aunt Wang smiled more sincerely. She felt embarrassed to ask Yu Yao to do too much and only gave her some easy tasks like picking vegetables.
The steel plant's off-get off work time is about the same as the textile plant's. Yu Ping and his friend came home noticeably late today because Zhao Tian had something to take care of, and Yu Ping and Zhao Tian were waiting for her to get off work, so they were a little late.
As soon as they entered the house, they smelled the aroma of meat. Zhao Tian asked from a distance: "Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight? It smells so good."
"I'm back, Yu Ping, you two come in quickly, your sister is here."
Hearing that his elder brother had returned, Yu Yao hurried to the kitchen door holding the basket, "Brother."
Seeing Yu Yao, Yu Ping and Zhao Tian's expressions both froze, making Yu Yao a little confused about their attitudes, but she still kept smiling and watched what happened next. If they really were the kind of relatives she would never have any contact with in the future, then she would just not come anymore.
But the awkwardness between the two was fleeting, and they soon returned to normal. Zhao Tian greeted her, "This is the third sister, you've grown so big." As her name suggests, Zhao Tian has two sweet dimples when she smiles, which is very adorable.
"Sister-in-law." Yu Yao also greeted her.
"Bring the basket here, let's choose together." Yu Ping called her to the table, and Zhao Tian naturally went to the kitchen.
"Mom, why is our third sister here?" Their relationship with the Yu family has become distant in recent years, so if they come to visit now, something must be wrong.
In fact, if possible, her family also felt that there was no need to break up, but Yu Ping felt that his relationship with his family was awkward, and she knew a little about the reasons, so she asked Yu Ping to send some money home every year. As for the rest, that was it.
"I don't know." Wang Lian said, "The little girl came alone and brought a lot of things. I saw that she was very polite in her words and deeds. If it's not something too troublesome, I will help her if I can. After all, she is Yu Ping's family member."
"Mom, what are you talking about? If there really is something wrong, how can I not help? Isn't this just asking for your bottom line?"
The mother and daughter discussed the matter in the kitchen, which also gave Yu Ping some space to talk.
Yu Ping was also worried that something had happened at home and asked Yu Yao.
The two siblings haven't seen each other for several years. Any affection they had for each other before has faded, and all they have now is the affection between blood relatives.
When it comes to talking, she is not as comfortable as she is talking to Brother Xu next door.
"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask you about someone."
