Chapter 130 Going to Liu Baoer's House
"Your sister's name is Yike, right? That's what your brother called you last time, am I remembering it correctly?" Liu Baoer happily pulled Yike into the counter, found a stool for Yike to sit on, and took out some White Rabbit milk candies and a bag of peach cakes for Yike to eat, acting like an older sister taking care of her younger sister.
I couldn't bear to reject such an enthusiastic girl, so I had to sit down and eat the peach cake obediently. The peach cakes of this era are particularly sweet and have the aroma of walnuts. In the past, peach cakes were everywhere on the streets, but there was no such classic peach cake that embodies the characteristics of peach cakes: fragrance, crispness, crunchiness and sweetness.
Seeing that Yike liked it, Liu Baoer took out a few more packets from the counter and said they were for Yike to take home. I couldn't refuse it anyway, so I had to let it go and let it take its course.
"Sister, I still need to go buy some things, look at me..."
"What sister? My name is Liu Baoer, Bao means treasure. From now on, you can call me Sister Baoer, so pretty." Liu Baoer interrupted Yi Ke and asked, "What do you want to buy? Sister will buy it for you."
"That won't do. If you buy me everything you want, I won't acknowledge you as my sister anymore." Yi Ke pulled out her trump card, and Liu Baoer really stopped saying she would buy things for her. It seems that this girl really wants to accept her as her sister, but I don’t know if she is really related to the original body.
"I want to buy matches, salt, kerosene, padlocks, and a blanket. Do you have any for sale?"
"Yes, we just received a batch of goods yesterday, including two beds. It's okay to sell one to you, but the other one was decided by our director a long time ago. You are lucky to come early. In the past, felts like this were bought by internal staff as soon as they arrived. Now they are not free to buy them. Come on, I will get it for you, otherwise it will be bought by someone else."
Liu Baoer asked the girl at another counter to help watch over the place, and then took Yi Ke to the counter selling fabrics.
"Yuanzi, I want to buy one of the blankets you received last night. It's a red one." Liu Baoer said to a girl at the counter.
"Miss Baoer, if you want it, no problem. Wait a minute, I'll take it out." The girl named Yuanzi took out the felt, and Liu Baoer took it and unfolded it for Yike to see.
Yi Ke fell in love with it at first sight because it was a red pure Australian wool blanket. Yi Ke nodded to show that he liked it, and Liu Baoer immediately asked Yuanzi: "How much? It's the same as before!"
"Hey, Miss Baoer, seeing what you said, of course I will give it to you according to the internal price. How about this, fifty yuan, no ticket required."
Yike quickly took out the money and gave it to Liu Baoer, and Liu Baoer gave the money to Yuanzi.
"Yuanzi, you are so straightforward! Just let me know if I can help you in the future."
When he returned to Liu Baoer's counter, Yike was still a little dazed. He bought the product just like that. He even prepared a ticket but didn't use it. Moreover, it is said that this kind of imported goods is much more expensive than domestic ones. I heard that it costs at least 80 yuan.
"What are you thinking, sister? You don't understand what the internal price is, right? This is the price that only insiders can buy. Don't think too much about the details. Just take it back and use it."
"Okay, that seems to make sense." Yi Ke thought to herself, "It seems that Liu Baoer really likes her new sister, so I should treat her with sincerity."
Liu Baoer also bought everything else that Yi Ke wanted, except the wine jars that the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have. However, Liu Baoer said that his family had two wine jars, which her grandfather's father used to make rice wine. Now no one in the family knows how to make rice wine, so the jar is idle and collected in the cellar. Since Yi Ke wants to make wine, I will give it to Yi Ke. When Yi Ke makes rice wine in the future, I will just give her two cups to taste it. Now Yike had no choice but to go to her house. Yike even suspected that she did it on purpose, just to prevent Yike from going to her house.
Yike bought two handfuls of noodles, a pound of brown sugar, and a pound of white sugar as gifts. She pushed her bicycle and followed Liu Baoer to her home. Liu Baoer's house was on this street, and they arrived there in just two steps.
Yike followed Liu Baoer into the yard. Liu Baoer instructed Yike to push the bicycle under a grape vine rack and place it against the wall.
A woman in the main room heard the voice and came out, "Bao'er is off work, a friend is coming, please invite him in and sit down."
"Mom, look who I brought back?" Liu Baoer turned sideways, revealing her back.
"Hey, Xin'er, why didn't your aunt tell you that you were coming?" Liu Baobao's mother said happily, "Come, Xin'er, come and let your aunt take a good look. Oh, you have gained some weight. It seems that your mother has taken good care of you."
"Mom, we're not raising pigs, how can you talk like that? And look carefully?" Liu Baoer winked at Yi Ke and whispered in Yi Ke's ear, "See, I told you that you look a lot like my cousin. Even my mom made a mistake."
But when you think about it, the world is really small. You can find your original identity just by going out. The only other ways to look so similar are blood relatives and plastic surgery. Is there such a thing in this era? It's impossible not to believe it.
"What do you mean, you little girl? How could I not recognize your aunt's Xi'er? But Xin'er, although you have gained a little weight, will you still get shorter? It seems that you have become shorter."
Yike suffered ten thousand critical hits! It's her fault for being short, why do you always bring up her height? Yike especially misses the long legs from his previous life. Only when the legs are longer can the height increase. It seems that there is no way to get over this hurdle!
"Hey! Why is the hemorrhoid behind your ear now on the right? Did I remember it wrong?" Liu Baoer's mother circled Yi Ke and finally concluded: "You are not my Xin'er. But you two really look alike!"
"Mom, can we go inside and talk first?" Liu Baoer pulled Yi Ke away, ignoring her mother's question.
Yike went to the main hall and put the gift in his hand on the square table, "Aunt, this is a little token of my appreciation."
"Little girl, you and our Bao'er are friends, you can just come here empty-handed, why buy gifts? Just bring the things back later."
"That won't do. If Auntie doesn't accept me, I'll be embarrassed to come next time."
"Mom, just accept it, otherwise sister Yike will really not come to play. But sister Yike wants to learn how to make wine. Don't we have two wine jars in our cellar? Give them to sister Yike?"
"Will your grandfather agree? I have no problem with that. I have nothing to do with it anyway, and your grandfather won't allow me to use it for anything else."
"I'll tell grandpa, he will definitely agree."
Yike recognized the voice and quickly reached out to pull Liu Baoer's sleeve. "Well, forget it. Since it's something the old man can't bear to part with, then..."
"Sister Yike, it's not what you think. My grandfather just said that it was a wine jar that had been used for decades. It would be a waste to put other things in it. Besides, the jar smells very strong of wine, and it's hard to put other things in it because the smell will spread."
"Don't be afraid, my grandfather is a very good man and very sensible, unlike some other old people." Liu Baoer comforted Yi Ke.
Liu Baoer's mother couldn't help but keep looking at Yike. She put out a big plate of candy and melon seeds for Yike to eat, and then sat down to chat with Yike.
"Yike, your name is Yike, right? Where are you from? Who are the people in your family?"
Yike told them the address of his current home. When they heard that Yike was married, both Liu Baoer and her daughter had an incredible expression on their faces.
"You look no more than twelve or thirteen years old this year. Why did you get married so early? Is he the man who came with you that time?" Liu Baoer asked.
"Yes, it's Brother Ziyi." So Yike briefly talked about how Yang Huaihua wanted to sell her to someone else as a shared wife, and how she escaped to the mountains and was rescued by Ziyi and then married him, but she didn't mention that they actually lived in the forest.
"Mom, you don't know, that man is not good to Yike at all, he even refused to sell the White Rabbit candy to Yike." Liu Baoer said to her mother, "And that woman, how could she be so vicious, how could she treat someone's mother like this, she is even more vicious than a stepmother."
Liu Baoer's mother did not say anything. She thought to herself, "Normally a biological mother would not be like this, unless the child is not her biological child. If it is not her biological child, could it be my younger sister's? She is so similar to Xin'er, even their hemorrhoids are exactly the same, except for the location, one on the left and the other on the right. But I didn't hear my younger sister say that she gave birth to twins?"
"Mom, are you listening to me again? What are you thinking about?" Liu Baoer hugged her mother's arm and shook her.
"Don't shake your head, listen to me. I've already married him, what else can you do?"
"But what if my sister Yike is bullied?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't your sister say that you used to be skinny and yellow? Now look at your sister, she's chubby. Do you know what that means? Silly girl!"
"What does it mean?"
"She's not hungry. The fact that they didn't let her go hungry shows that this family is kind-hearted."
"Yes, auntie is right. Brother Ziyi and his family are all very good to me. Don't worry, sister." Seeing that Liu Baoer was so worried about her, Yike's heart softened and she began to treat her as her sister.
"There is another way. Do you want to hear it?" Liu Baoer's mother said in a pretentious manner.
"Oh, what's the solution? Tell me quickly, mother."
"Then you should go to Yike's house and stay there for a few days. Then you can see how well they treat Yike. And you can also let that family know that Yike has someone to lean on. Don't think that you can bully Yike just because he doesn't have a mother's family."
"That's good, that's good! Sister Yike, did you hear me? Can I stay at your house for a few days?"
It's so funny. This girl is really a person who believes whatever she says.
"I'm very welcome to do that, but what about your job?"
"I can take some time off. It just so happens that I didn't take any vacation this year, so we can combine them together."
"Well, why don't you go next time and don't take a special vacation. Don't waste the vacation time you managed to get together with great difficulty here with me."
"Don't you welcome me?"
"No, I welcome it! I'm just considering you."
"Then it's settled. I'll go tell my boss this afternoon. You wait for me at home."
What else could Yike say? He had to compromise.
