Xiao Yihan was originally a little worried that the He family would not agree with her and Chu Jingqiu's relationship, so she had to take it step by step to get the approval of Chu Jingqiu's family.
Unexpectedly, her family was quite satisfied with him, and he finally felt relieved.
After I get back, I will write a letter to Xiaoqiu and tell her the good news.
——-----------
This time, Chu Jingqiu and her friends went to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell mountain products. They went directly to Wang Qianjin without bothering him with money. They sold a lot this time.
Lin Zishan sold the most, with a total of 50 yuan, Shi Aihong sold 45 yuan, Zhang Pingping sold 43 yuan, and Chu Jingqiu sold 30 yuan.
After making money, several people became generous, bought a lot of things, and used the bills that were about to expire.
They bought a lot of fine grains, rapeseed oil, brown sugar, and a large piece of pork. Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong also bought a box of vanishing cream.
The weather was getting colder, so Lin Zishan bought some cotton and a few feet of cloth. She planned to make two new sets of cotton-padded clothes. She also bought two pairs of soles and made herself two pairs of thick boots.
Last winter was particularly cold. She had never felt such cold in the south, and she didn't have thick winter clothes.
She basically didn't go out last year and spent the whole winter wrapped in a quilt on the kang. Even though she rarely went out, her hands and feet were covered with frostbite.
I made some money this year, so I can't treat myself badly anymore. I've bought a lot of things in the house recently, and it's a bit like a girl's room.
Just now at the supply and marketing cooperative, Jingqiu thought of another way to make money, which is to sell persimmon cakes. This way, they can make money until the New Year.
After returning to the educated youth site, they first unloaded the things on the car, and then went to Widow Zhang's house to return the car. Widow Zhang was picking mung beans in the yard. When she saw a few people coming, she quickly got down from the ladder.
Shi Aihong put the cart back to its original location. Chu Jingqiu handed Widow Zhang a bag of brown sugar. "Auntie, thank you for letting us use your cart. Here's a bag of brown sugar. Take it! Boil some ginger in it in the winter to keep the children warm."
Widow Zhang said she didn't want anything, but Chu Jingqiu forced it on her. Then they turned and left. Widow Zhang shouted from behind, "Don't leave yet. I'll take your brown sugar.
Look, I've already picked a whole basket of black-eyed peas, and I can't eat them all yet. You can take some home! These green-eyed peas are incredibly delicious when you stir-fry them with some chili peppers.
Zhang Pingping and Lin Zishan had eaten it last year and it was indeed delicious and went well with rice. Looking at the large basket of it on the ground and the clusters of it growing on the wall, they decided not to be polite.
Widow Zhang used her own basket to fill a basket for several people. Shi Aihong shouted, "Enough... Enough...", but Widow Zhang kept pushing hard until it could no longer hold anything.
Several people were walking back with a basket of mung beans. When they were almost at the educated youth site, they found Yue Wenbin walking in front like a moon surrounded by stars, with a wild goat on his back. Qiao Rucheng and Diao Lijun were beside him helping him hold the goat leg.
Zhao Yaru excitedly shouted from behind: "Brother Wenbin, you caught a big one! That's amazing! We can have mutton soup tonight."
Several male educated youth helped Yue Wenbin carry the wild goat to the educated youth camp. Jiang Qingzhou grabbed a goat leg and excitedly shouted, "Wenbin, we've been here for almost two years and haven't caught any wild goats yet. You're amazing!"
Qin Yilan followed Yue Wenbin shyly, staring at Yue Wenbin's face without blinking, her eyes full of tenderness.
After entering the yard, the people in the front yard began to busy themselves with the goats. Chu Jingqiu and the others quietly walked towards the backyard. Yue Wenbin saw them and said enthusiastically, "Chu Zhiqing, don't cook tonight. Let's make some goat soup and eat together!"
Zhao Yaru and Qin Yilan both looked at Chu Jingqiu at the same time, their eyes filled with jealousy. Qin Yilan was so jealous that she blurted out, "Chu Zhiqing and the others don't care about this little bit of meat. We've already eaten it separately. They eat meat every day, but I don't see them sharing with us, right, Chu Zhiqing?"
Chu Jingqiu originally planned to quietly walk to the backyard and didn't think about eating the meat in the front yard. As a result, Qin Yilan deliberately made trouble. It seems that Qin Yilan wanted to be bullied!
"Qin Yilan, if you hadn't said anything, I would have forgotten something. I gave you the list that day. You took a pair of jade bracelets, a gold necklace, a silver collar, a gold ring, and 200 yuan from me.
Give it back to me now! I'm waiting here, take it quickly! "
Qin Yilan panicked when she heard this. "Didn't you say the deadline was half a month? There are still a few days left, it's not time yet!"
"I've changed my mind. I see you're very excited today, so I'm trying to help you calm down. Go get it! Don't force me to do it."
Qin Yilan seemed not to want to return it, so she turned and went into the kitchen, apparently intending to get away with it.
Chu Jingqiu walked slowly into the kitchen, leaned against the doorway, looked at Qin Yilan standing next to Hu Mingyue and said, "Go! Take it. If you don't go, I'll do it myself. If I do it myself, I'll get it back with interest."
Qin Yilan swallowed and clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't dare to resist. She knew she couldn't beat Chu Jingqiu.
She gritted her teeth and ran into her room with red eyes. After a while, she took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Chu Jingqiu.
Chu Jingqiu opened it and took a look. All the jewelry was there and had been returned. However, there was not enough money inside, only 100 yuan, and she was still 100 yuan short.
"I said you should pay back 200 yuan, and you are still short of 100 yuan." Chu Jingqiu said coldly.
Qin Yilan glared at Chu Jingqiu and said, "I only have 100 yuan, no more, I can't make it up for you!"
"I want you to show it to me. You ate my food, drank my drinks, and wore my clothes, and you still want to deny it? I'm telling you, you have to show it to me today."
Qin Yilan saw that everyone around her was looking at her with strange eyes. She felt that she had lost all her face and dignity today, especially being embarrassed in front of Yue Wenbin. She felt even more ashamed.
She looked at Zhao Yaru, who was gloating over someone else's misfortune. She had never felt so embarrassed before. She thought of a solution: pretend to faint. This way, she could escape Chu Jingqiu's coercion and perhaps even make Yue Wenbin sympathize with her, thus gaining his favor.
Thinking of this, she deliberately rubbed against Yue Wenbin, pretending to be weak and began to sob softly.
She cried and said, "I know your family is well-off. At that time, I didn't want your things, but you forced them on me. Now you want me to return them.
Our family is not well off, how can I come up with so much money at once?
You are forcing me to die, how can I come up with so much money?"
After she finished speaking, her eyes rolled back and she was about to faint in Yue Wenbin's direction. Yue Wenbin quickly hugged her and she fell into Yue Wenbin's arms.
