Chapter 407



When Chen Jianguo came back, Su Xia was already asleep. He moved quietly and lay down too.

As for Xie Chengbai and his wife who were shocked in the bullpen, he really didn't have time to deal with them.

After Chen Jianguo left, Old Man Yi did not lie down immediately. Instead, after a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is not locked!"

After Xie Chengbai went in, he looked around and found that there was no one there. Then he noticed the cotton coat on the old man.

I swallowed my saliva in shock. It seems that what I just saw was really terrifying!

"I bought these from the village. Take your share too. I'll pay you first, and you can pay me back tomorrow. Take these back."

Old Man Yi said directly, and then continued, "As for who it is, it seems his surname is Chen. His family is the only one in the village who lives a good life. It seems that his family members work in the county town and make good things."

Xie Chengbai's hands were shaking with nervousness. Compared with the old man, he was a loser. He even had a headache before going to bed and wondered how to get cotton.

Unexpectedly, the old man went straight to the point and got me cotton clothes and trousers.

Old Man Yi knew in his heart that it would be bad to hide things all the time. After all, he was an old man and it was easy to get along with people in the village.

So to put it bluntly, it’s better than anything else.

"That Uncle Yi, what about Brother Gu..." Xie Chengbai said nervously.

Old man Yi has always looked down on the Gu family members who are so cunning.

but.....

"If they ask tomorrow, tell them the truth. As for whether they need it or not, let them decide for themselves. Besides, don't forget, they're still here to prank their eldest son. They're better than us."

At this time, Xie Chengbai's excitement slowly subsided, and he immediately understood what the old man said.

They are normal transactions and they all cost a lot of money.

"Uncle, how much are these?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Yi gave a number. "They're not new either. They're all old, but they're indistinguishable from new. Each set costs 10 yuan. A set of cotton-padded jackets and trousers costs 25 yuan, and cotton-padded shoes cost 12 yuan a pair."

"It's also cotton cloth, a total of 14. Don't think it's too expensive, after all, you still need a ticket!"

Xie Chengbai had already touched it and checked it. It was indeed worn, but there was no strange smell. Instead, there was a smell of laundry soap.

I sighed in my heart, but compared with my life, what does it matter whether I have worn it or not?

Now I know all this, at least my wife has known it for the past few days.

He looked up and said excitedly, "Uncle, what are you complaining about? Your life is almost gone!"

Old man Yi nodded with satisfaction. Although he was an intellectual, he came from a relatively good family.

Now that he is in a quagmire, he is not pretentious, but tries hard to adapt and change the status quo. Such a person will never be too bad at any time.

"Take it back first, take the cloth and cotton back too, and ask your wife to make some inner clothes for us. I'm sorry to bother you with the old man's clothes!"

"Uncle, what are you talking about? It's not easy for all of us now, so we must help each other!"

Old man Yi was satisfied. In fact, when it came to sincerity, the couple in front of him were really sweet.

As for the Gu family, hum...

It’s not that the old man is blind, it’s just that Gu Zongwei’s father is not a good person.

I want to split my baby into several pieces and squeeze them together. I'm crazy.

The key point is that he sent his eldest son abroad. I don’t know if the old man’s eyes are covered with feces because he is blind or because they are covered with feces?

Zhao Yazhen was waiting anxiously. When she heard the door open, she put on her clothes and went over.

"Chengbai, what's wrong?"

Then she noticed something large in his arms and her eyes widened.

Just as I was about to scream, someone asked anxiously, "Where did it come from?"

Xie Chengbai pulled his wife to the kang and explained while taking out something.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Zhao Yazhen breathed a sigh of relief. Then she touched the clothes and pants in her hands with surprise, and found that they were still cotton-padded clothes and pants.

Although they are all old ones, she doesn't mind them now.

I touched the corners of my eyes and they didn’t feel moist anymore.

After seeing this, Xie Chengbai hugged his wife to comfort her.

"The old man bought it from the village. There's only one Chen family in the village. It seems he's the eldest son of the Chen family, and he works in the county town. If I'm not mistaken, he's the father of Niuniu's friend."

Zhao Yazhen was stunned, then she grabbed her husband's clothes in fear and asked, "Does Mr. Yi know?"

"I don't know, I think he bought it with money. Let's not ask anything else. Oh, and I have to pay the old man tomorrow."

Zhao Yazhen nodded, saying that this was good.

Xie Chengbai then explained, "The old man said that if the Gu family asks, just say you bought it from the village!"

“And the price is high!”

Zhao Yazhen nodded when she heard this.

"Go to sleep. Return the cloth and cotton. Make something for Old Man Yi and stuff the rest into the quilt!"

"Okay, don't worry!"

"I'll take out 100 yuan later and give it to them. The rice I paid last time must also be counted!"

Zhao Yazhen didn't feel bad at all. She thought about the jewelry she still had hidden on her body and counted that one in as well.

Gu Zongwei heard the noise no matter how hard he tried, but the couple still wanted to wait until daytime to talk about it.

As for whether the old man knows anyone here, it’s incredible!

The next morning, Chen Jianguo didn't eat anything. He just rode his bicycle with five chickens on it and headed towards the county town.

Now the cat doesn't work, so Su Xia sleeps until she wakes up naturally.

It was only half past eight in the morning.

Niu Niu, Dabao and Erbao had already gotten up and did not come to disturb her.

After Su Xia got up, Erbao came over and said, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

Su Xia heard this and asked, "Didn't your grandma heat up the meal?"

Niuniu: "Mom, the steamed buns and vegetables left over from yesterday are gone. Did Dad take them away?"

Su Xia.....

Only then did I remember that I was sent there last night.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go cook. How about we have dumpling soup this morning?"

"Of course, as long as it's food, it's fine!" Dabao didn't care, mainly because his stomach had started to growl.

"Mom, I want to eat egg cake!" Erbao made a request.

Niuniu: "Mom, let me help you!"

Su Xia waved her hand and said, "Take them to wash up and change clothes."

Upon hearing this, Niu Niu nodded and took her two younger brothers, who still had eye boogers, to wash up.

After a simple wash, Su Xia started to knead the dough, put the oil and chopped green onions in a pot, stir-fried the pot, and then added water and brought to a boil.

A bowl and a half of noodles soon turned into a pot of semi-dry and sticky dumpling soup, and two egg liquids were poured on it before it was served.

As for the egg cake that Erbao requested, well, Su Xia had kindly forgotten about it.

But that didn't feel enough, so I hid on the stove and baked another pot of tortillas.

The vegetable dumpling soup with corn tortillas was ready in less than 20 minutes.

At this time, Chen's father and mother also came in and asked, "Why are yesterday's leftovers gone?"

Su Xia was stunned and responded casually, "Jianguo took it away, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have breakfast."

Chen's mother nodded, then said unhappily, "I have to say something to the captain. It would be much better for the village to sell the chickens themselves. Why bother Jianguo?"

"Jianguo had to come back late at night and leave early in the morning. How cold is it?"

Father Chen didn't say anything, but sat at the table and started eating.

The corners of Su Xia's mouth twitched. How could she tell the truth? In the end, she didn't say anything, and Chen's mother just kept nagging.

When Zhao Yazhen was cooking in the cowshed early in the morning, Old Man Yi came in and handed over the steamed buns and vegetables left over from last night.

"Heat this up too. It's perfect for one person. Oh, and it comes with eggs, perfect for nourishing you."

Zhao Yazhen took it, feeling a little embarrassed. She and Cheng Bai had prepared some rice and eggs, but they had never taken them out.

But this time, a reason was given.
