Volume 1 begins in the ninetieth year 0042 unsuccessful arrogance
The street that was still lively just now is now empty, only garbage and sundries are left all over the ground, those vendors have fled, and the fifth aunt's plan to buy vegetables has naturally failed, so she can only smile bitterly at Qian Hong.
"Let's go home, it looks like we can't buy anything today, let's eat scrambled eggs with luncheon meat." After speaking, the fifth aunt pulled Qian Hong into an alley not far away.
Different from the shipyard, the houses in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in the circle are divided into courtyards, the two-story houses built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of the increase in the population of residents and continue to expand, now walking in will make people feel very crowded, some paths can not accommodate two people walking side by side, opposite a bicycle that person has to stick to the wall.
But who knew that at the gate of the courtyard, Qian Hong actually saw a woman squatting in the corner, she was wearing cloth shoes, black pants and a cloth shirt, and she was also wearing a headscarf, and there were two huge wicker baskets in front of her, which were full of navy blue goose eggs, and there were two women picking them at this time.
"Third daughter-in-law, you're back. Of course, those people also saw the fifth aunt and Qian Hong, so they greeted a woman in her forties.
"Yes, sister-in-law Li, are you selling goose eggs?" said the fifth aunt and leaned over.
"Well, buy some pickles, our family is proud of this play, and we have to eat it every once in a while. ”
"What's more?"
"Say it's five cents. ”
"What are you playing? Wumao! Who do you want to die in the dark?" As soon as the fifth aunt exaggerated her scream, the woman wearing the headscarf immediately called Qu Lai: "Wumao is still expensive? This is all under my family's big goose, and it is usually a good grain to be fed, you people in the city don't know, the big goose thief can eat, and two can catch up with a pig, and the family all points to this goose egg for oil and salt!"
"Don't talk about that, 3 Mao Wu, we'll give you all the round. As the fifth aunt spoke, she quickly glanced at the other two women, but the other party instantly understood, and immediately followed the persuasion: "That's it, if it's cheaper, we'll wrap it up for you, so you don't have to go around." ”
"If you want to get caught by the Small-Foot Detective Team and the Big-brimmed Hat, you will be confiscated as if the tail of capitalism is confiscated for you, and then you will have no penny. ”
"3 Mao Wu, that's okay! I'd rather take it home and eat it myself, why can't I sell it at this price!" But the woman in the turban was not so easy to fool, and she was about to leave as she packed up the wicker basket.
"Don't sell it, if you don't sell it, I'll smash it for you!" Seeing that it can't be fooled, then it can only be tricky, the fifth aunt picked up half a brick with her hand, and the other two women also cooperated with the tacit understanding of the basket, so the woman wearing the headscarf was anxious: "What? Are you going to rob it? If you dare to smash my goose eggs, I will fight with you!"
In an era when the monthly salary of workers is only 5-60 yuan, these two baskets of goose eggs are worth at least more than 40 yuan, so the woman wearing the headscarf said that she wanted to work hard, it was not a joke, but the situation at the gate of the courtyard was deadlocked.
Witnessing everything on the side, Qian Hong didn't want the worst to happen, whether it was the fifth aunt smashing someone's goose eggs or breaking face in front of the neighbors, it was not good, so he stood up helplessly.
"Everyone has something to say, and it's not for the war, Aunt Five, you put down the bricks first, I look weird and scary." Qian Hong pulled the sleeve of the fifth aunt as he spoke.
"Daewoo, you stand aside, it's none of your business. The fifth aunt refused to show weakness and shouted.
"People want five cents, and it's really too low for you to give three cents and five, otherwise everyone will take a step back, four...... How about four cents and two baoyuan? Fifth aunt, you also let others earn a little more, and this aunt, can't you go home early if you sell them out early? Just now, a lot of tricycles in the farmers' market were confiscated by the industry and commerce and the streets, and he can make a little less money!"
Don't look at Qian Hongren's small people, but this is very reasonable, the stalemate between the two sides thought about it, and it seemed that they could reluctantly accept it, so the tense atmosphere slowly eased down.
Soon after, the three people who had taken the money from the house sold the two baskets of goose eggs, and then when the fifth aunt and the others distributed the goose eggs on the spot, Qian Hong looked at the back of the woman wearing the turban and fell into deep thought, because he suddenly thought of a deal that he might try to try.
"Look at that, go home. The fifth aunt, who was full of harvest today, urged, so that Qian Hong ran over with a smile and took the initiative to help the fifth aunt share some things, the two cans of canned food and milk powder were not afraid of falling, and the fifth aunt was relieved to let Qian Hong carry it.
The fifth aunt and the fifth aunt live with the husband and the uncle, a house and a kitchen of only 30 square meters are divided into three households, and the door has been going inside is the father of the fifth aunt and the younger brother live, turn right is a small room transformed by the kitchen, in addition to the stove and kitchenware, you can only put down a double bed and a TV, not even a wardrobe.
"My eldest nephew behaved well just now, now go to the house to watch TV, and the fifth aunt will give you scrambled goose eggs to eat." As the fifth aunt was saying this, there was a clatter of iron chains outside, and immediately the fifth aunt said with a wicked smile: "It must be your fifth aunt who is back, go to the back of the door, and wait for him to come in to scare him." ”
"Hehehe, no need, the fifth aunt should be tired from pedaling for a day, fifth aunt, you better hurry up and cook!" After Qian Hong finished saying this, the fifth aunt showed a surprised expression, you must know that Qian Hong was very, very naughty in the past, and it was my favorite trick to be scary after hiding from the door, but why did I change sex today?
And the words I just said at the gate of the courtyard seem to greatly exceed the level of a ten-year-old child, right?
In confusion, the fifth aunt-in-law entered the door, but as soon as he saw the big bags and small wraps on the board, he showed an unhappy expression on his face: "You ruined old lady, you know how to buy and buy all day long, you want me to be tired to death!"
"What are you talking about? These are all brought to me by the eldest sister, whether the goose eggs were just bought, or I and Aunt Li and them wrapped them together, which are much cheaper than those sold outside, and you don't eat them if I pickle them." The fifth aunt roared back-for-tat, holding the spatula domineeringly in her hand: "Daewoo is here, you play with him for a while, and eat in 20 minutes." ”
The fifth uncle, who suddenly wilted, put his gloves and coat at the door, and directly began to wash his hands and face, and then turned his head and saw the towel handed by Qian Hong.
