Chapter 265 Shopping before the New Year



Xu Zhiyi and Pei Yan waited until an hour before dark before entering the black market.

Xu Zhiyi spent a lot of money to buy things there.

After buying white flour, rice, meat, and old hens, Xu Zhiyi also found someone selling mung bean sprouts. There weren't many left, about three pounds, so he bought them all.

There were not many people left in the black market. After Xu Zhiyi and Pei Yan finished their shopping, they left quickly.

After they walked out and crossed two streets, they didn't find anyone following them.

Soon, he met Xu Sheng who was waiting halfway, carrying a backpack.

Pei Yan took the backpack, put the rice and flour in it, and then carried the backpack on his back.

Seeing that Pei Yan could carry it, Xu Zhiyi stopped arguing with him.

After giving Xu Sheng a lot of things to carry, the three of them quietly returned to the compound when it was dark and there was no one on the road.

Along the way, Xu Zhiyi didn't notice any strange people.

After seeing that there was no one in the compound, the three of them quietly knocked on the door of Xu's house.

Xu Sheng told Jiang's mother what he was going to do before he left. As soon as Xu Sheng left, Jiang's mother started to worry.

She was angry and anxious. How could these kids be so bold? Could they just enter this black market?

Although Xu Zhiyi had gone shopping before, Jiang's mother still couldn't help but worry.

She couldn't sit still at all and pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside the door.

He wandered around the door, and when he heard a knock, he immediately went to open it.

"Come in quickly!" After Jiang's mother let them in, she cautiously looked at the door to see if anyone saw them.

When he didn't see anyone, he went in and quickly closed the door.

Xu Hai held the backpack Pei Yan was carrying and asked him to put it down quickly.

The weight they were carrying was quite heavy, it seemed they had bought some food.

"You guys are really too brave." Jiang's mother said in a low voice.

Xu Zhiyi didn't take it seriously and said, "Mom, it's okay. We were very careful. No one discovered us along the way."

"Come and see what we bought." Xu Zhiyi lowered his voice.

The room is not soundproofed well, if the sound is loud, the neighbors can hear it clearly at night.

Jiang's mother also knew about this, but she didn't dare to scold her loudly for fear that the neighbors would hear what was happening.

"The food is hot in the pot. I'll bring it over first. Let's eat first," said Jiang's mother.

Xu Hai entered the kitchen and brought out the dishes first.

In the evening, we had steamed buns and fried meat. I guess it was the meat Xu Hai bought in the morning, and it was gone after this meal.

After the five people finished their meal, Xu Sheng was still the one to wash the dishes.

Jiang Mei came to sort out the things they bought, a bag of flour and a bag of rice.

There are at least thirty kilograms of white flour and twenty kilograms of rice.

"Oh my goodness, why are there so many?" Mother Jiang was surprised, but she did not forget to lower her voice.

"We've been eating a lot of food at home these days. I wonder if this is enough?"

When Xu Zhiyi said this, Jiang's mother rolled her eyes.

"You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you run a household. Where do you get the money to buy these things? The money we send you is not enough for you to buy some."

If it wasn't night time, Jiang's mother really wanted to twist Xu Zhiyi's ear and ask.

He has really been spoiled and has become more and more courageous.

"Don't worry, Mom. I earned all this money. Hurry up and clean up. There's a live hen over there. Put it away quickly and don't let it crow."

Seeing Xu Zhiyi's calm look, it didn't seem like he was lying.

There is not only rice and flour, but also a bag of fresh bean sprouts.

This made Jiang's mother very happy.

It's winter now and there's not much food to eat.

The only thing you can buy is usually Chinese cabbage. After eating so much, it makes you salivate at the thought of something fresh.

"Oh, I forgot. This is made with mung beans, very simple. I should tell Mom about it when I write to her. It will also give the family a fresh dish."

Xu Zhiyi was always in a hurry when he came back and never thought about it at all.

It’s not too late to think about it now. I can make a box to send some beans. As long as I buy some beans at home, I can send them to eat at any time.

This thing can sprout at any time.

If I remember to do it, I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

"Xiao Pei, don't leave tonight. Squeeze in with Shengzi and sleep together." Xu Hai said.

It's not okay for a young man to come all the way here and have him stay in a guesthouse every day.

Just by looking at their daughter's attitude over the past two days and the fact that the boy always had his eyes on Xu Zhiyi, Xu's parents knew it.

Will Pei Yan agree?

certainly!

And a little flattered.

"Okay, Uncle Xu."

Xu Hai and Jiang Mei had discussed it privately and decided that they were old enough to get married if they really wanted to go to college.

Then let’s arrange their marriage first.

Wait until you are ready to get married before making arrangements.

However, the old couple had not had time to discuss their plan with Xu Zhiyi.

Of course, the most important thing is whether Xu Zhi is willing or not.

Everything is based on the wishes of the children.

The Xu family's parents are not only kind to their children, but are also surprisingly open-minded. They will not force or control their children to live according to their arrangements.

After washing up, everyone went into their rooms to sleep.

Mother Jiang prepared a new towel, a new toothbrush, and a pair of large-sized slippers for Pei Yan.

Their actions undoubtedly conveyed to Pei Yan that they had agreed to Xu Zhiyi being in a relationship with him.

So will we get married in the future?

He didn't know if it was because there was someone in the bed or he was too excited, but he had some insomnia.

This insomnia is not the same as the previous insomnia.

He couldn't sleep, his mind was full of thoughts, all about Xu Zhiyi.

Xu Sheng couldn't sleep either.

He and Xu Zhiyi are not much different in age, and it can be said that they grew up together with a lot of quarrels.

When Pei Yan came back with them, Xu Sheng gradually realized that one day his second sister would get married like his eldest sister and leave home.

"Brother Yan, will you be nice to my second sister?"

"I will! I will make her happy."

"If you treat my second sister badly, I will definitely come and beat you up. I mean what I say!"

Pei Yan put his hands behind his head as cushion, "You can't beat me."

Xu Sheng, "......"

It hurts.

"If you don't treat my second sister well, she's such a strong-willed person, she might even leave you."

Pei Yan: "?"

Brat, I shouldn't have let him off when I was training him before.

"I won't! I will cherish her as if she were my life."

A light promise in the dark night sounded so firm to Xu Sheng.

"Okay, I believe you."

Xu Sheng fell asleep, breathing deeply.

There was no light in the room, and the moonlight outside shone in, casting a bright white glow.

He fell asleep with the girl next door whom he loved.

In the dream, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone down, spring came and flowers bloomed, and she smiled among the flowers.

The slightly raised corners of his mouth indicated that he had had a sweet dream.
