Chapter 2 Thinking
Cheng Yannuo was lying on the dirt pit, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she had been thinking about how to make a fortune.
She stared blankly at the darkness, and suddenly a flash of inspiration ...... It's like a problem I've been thinking about for a long time and suddenly comes up with an idea.
By the way, she can sell things secretly! Although Grandma Li told her in the orphanage that she couldn't sell things in the seventies.
There is no way, people die for money, birds die for food.
Isn't life an adventure?
Thinking like this, Cheng Yannuo's heavy heart fell, and he fell asleep tiredly......
The rooster's majestic voice sounded, and the sun slowly rose.
Cheng Yannuo started her own plan, she was going to sell eggs, and first she had to inquire where the eggs were good and cheap.
She took out the money that the original owner had saved for several years and was reluctant to spend, well, a total of eight yuan, nine cents and four cents......
Cheng Yannuo counted it, and his face darkened...... That's how poor......
However, the prices in the 70s were very cheap, eggs cost a few cents, and pork was eight cents and five pounds.
Cheng Yannuo sighed, but still took the money and left.
"Hey...... I don't know how my family is doing...... None of these eggs were sold......"
"That's right...... It's been a hard time...... I still have dozens of eggs in my house......"
Two women in their forties and fifties sat by the stream and munched on melon seeds, sighing as they spoke...... There were also two baskets of eggs next to them.
"God help me!" Cheng Yannuo thought.
Cheng Yannuo smiled softly, stepped forward and said, "Auntie, do you have eggs, and what is the quality of your eggs?"
Aunt Li looked at Cheng Yannuo suspiciously: "Little girl, my family has eggs, and the quality is also very good, but what are you asking for?"
Cheng Yannuo smiled even deeper, and she said softly to Aunt Li: "Auntie, it's like this, my mother is not in good health, I want to buy some eggs for her to make up." β
Hearing this, Aunt Li's eyes lit up, she took Cheng Yannuo's hand and said, "Girl, do you really want to buy it?"
Cheng Yannuo naturally nodded.
Aunt Li's heart is broken, she is worried about eggs, and their family has long run out of money!
It doesn't matter if it's hard work or not, no one will have anything to eat!
Aunt Li hurriedly handed Cheng Yannuo a basket of eggs and said, "Girl, I see that you are young and filial, and I will sell you the eggs for sevenths!"
Cheng Yannuo opened the basket, and it was full of big eggs, about fifty of them.
Cheng Yannuo thought complacently: "Such a big egg is still double yellow, and it can be sold for nine cents!"
Cheng Yannuo thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she looked at Aunt Li politely and said, "Auntie, can I take a look at one first?" I will give you the money. β
Aunt Li's face didn't change much, and she nodded.
Cheng Yannuo took out a small bowl and cracked the egg into it.
"Smack-"
Cheng Yannuo looked at the bowl and was very satisfied, it was really double yellow.
Cheng Yannuo also didn't make a counteroffer, and took out three yuan and five and handed it to Aunt Li.
Aunt Li's eyes were about to laugh when she took the money, and she thought that she could finally buy a good meal for her family.
Aunt Shen on the side looked at Aunt Li's happy appearance, and finally stopped boring the gourd, she picked up a basket of eggs beside her, and also sold it anxiously.
Cheng Yannuo didn't refuse, and bought them together, Aunt Shen had a total of sixty eggs, so she gave Aunt Shen four pieces of two.
Aunt Shen took the money and left happily.
Only Aunt Li and Cheng Yannuo were left communicating.
Cheng Yannuo suddenly thought of something and asked Aunt Li: "Auntie, do you still have eggs at home?"
Aunt Li quickly stopped laughing, nodded hurriedly and said, "There are some, there are a hundred!"
Cheng Yannuo explained to her: "Auntie, if the eggs are very good, I will come to you." β
Aunt Li turned her head and pointed to the front and said, "Girl, I am from Xinghua Village, if you want to come to me, you will report to Li Guiying, the eldest lady of the Li family." β
Cheng Yannuo smiled and nodded.
Evening β
Cheng Yannuo put a little oil in the pot and beat five eggs into the pot, and in less than twenty minutes, the eggs were fragrant, she put some shallots, and the eggs were ready.
Cheng Yannuo distributed five bowls of eggs and put noodles on them, and this delicious and mouth-watering chive egg noodles was done!
The dilapidated brick house is filled with a rich aroma that tempts people's stomachs, and the egg noodles on the dinner table are like a delicacy on earth.
Cheng Nuonuo smelled the fragrance at the door of her house from afar, and her saliva rushed into the brick house.
Yu Wei rubbed his aching shoulders, was pushed in by Cheng Ting, and smelled the fragrance when he entered the door.
A large family is blinded, how can there be eggs?
In this era, eggs are a rarity! They are only eaten during the New Year's holidays.
Looking at the confused and stunned looks of the family, Cheng Yannuo smiled lightly and said: "I took the eggs, you usually work so hard, you have to make up for it." β
Yu Wei was very relieved in her heart, but she complained: "Nuo'er, you know that you are fooling, you should make up for yourself more." β
Cheng Yannuo shook his head with a smile and said to Wei: "Mother, you are so hard, how can I eat alone?"
Cheng Hailin also came in, and he looked at the egg noodles in front of him and screamed angrily.
The noodles are full of green onions and egg flavor, and the texture is smooth and lingers in the mouth for a long time.
At the dinner table, it was happy and warm, talking and laughing.
Cheng Yannuo said to Wei and Cheng Hailin seriously: "Mom and Dad, I want to go to the city." β
Suddenly so serious, the voice stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.
Yu Wei asked Cheng Yannuo with some puzzlement: "Nuonuo, what are you doing in the city?"
Cheng Hailin also put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Nuo'er, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Yannuo's apricot eyes blinked, and he smiled playfully: "Mom and Dad, I just want to meet the city!"
Yu Wei and Cheng Hailin looked at each other and smiled dotingly: "Okay...... Tomorrow you will go with him in Limber's ox cart. β
Early in the morning β
The village was silent, leaving only a yellow light left by the Cheng family.
"Daughter-in-law, in the past few days, my mother hasn't come to trouble us" Cheng Hailin looked at Yu Weidao suspiciously.
Yu Wei smiled sarcastically: "Your mother, I've been going to play with Coco Chen's family a long time ago!
Seeing that Yu Wei was a little angry, Cheng Hailin comforted her and said, "Daughter-in-law, you have suffered...... My mom is so snarky, thank you for taking care of you for so many years. β
Yu Wei snorted, but his anger disappeared a lot.
Yu Wei seemed to think of Cheng Yannuo, she pulled Cheng Hailin's clothes and said, "Hailin, don't you think Nuo'er has changed a little?"
Cheng Hailin recalled, nodded and said, "Nuo'er seems to have become lively and has her own ideas. β
Yu Wei sighed and said, "Nuo'er used to be too weak and quiet to be bullied, but now it's a good thing to be lively." And she was also quite frightened when she fell into the river, so let her rest for a few days while your mother goes to play. β
Cheng Hailin turned off the light with a snap, and his eyes turned into darkness.
"Sleepβ"
After that, only the sound of steady breathing remains.
