Chapter Ninety-Five: Stocking

"Xiaoyi, are you cold!" Aunt Li suddenly asked.

"It's not cold, auntie, this is walking with a flat car, and it's hot!"

……

"Xiaoyi, are you hungry, don't you have to stop eating something!"

"Don't be hungry, auntie!"

……

There were almost no people on the way, and there was no street lamp, and the two of them walked by the faint moonlight, chatting without a word, but they didn't feel lonely.

When I was about to get to the place where Aunt Li was going to buy things, there were more and more people, many people were driving carriages, pulling flat cars, and some were driving tractors to the same place.

Aunt Li told Chen Yi that most of these people were just like them, and they all came to buy goods.

When they arrived at the place, Chen Yi found that they had not come too early, and many of them had already loaded a full truck and went back.

Chen Yi looked around, it seemed to be a big market, he hadn't been here, he only saw that the outside of this market was blocked by a wall, and all kinds of noisy sounds came out inside, and there were several big white characters on the wall that shone in the moonlight: Qilitun Wholesale Market.

Aunt Li asked Chen Yi to follow her, there were many people in the car, don't get lost when the time comes, it will be troublesome.

Chen Yi agreed, pulled the cart, and followed Aunt Li closely.

When he walked through the door of the market, he realized that the world inside was completely different from the outside.

The huge market is filled with all kinds of vehicles and all kinds of people, and the sound of shouting and car engines is mixed together.

This scene, Chen Yi felt that it was even more lively than when he was in the market.

However, the wholesale area in the market is also well managed, and everyone who sells things in it has his own stall, which is full of boxes and some scattered things.

Aunt Li told him that most of the outermost ones sell a lot of food, and the inside sells a lot of things in the sellers, so in order to be light, Aunt Li took Chen Yi to the innermost first.

There are not as many people in the back as there are people outside, and most of the people in it sell pots and pans.

Aunt Li took Chen Yi to the innermost family, the innermost business was relatively deserted, and the boss was an uncle.

"Sister Li is here, what are you going to do today?" The boss hurriedly greeted her warmly when she saw Aunt Li coming.

Aunt Li tugged down the scarf that blocked her mouth with her hand, took a breath and said, "Bring me ten plastic basins, a box of plastic spoons and chopsticks." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get it for you. Saying that, the boss went to the pile and began to look for what Aunt Li wanted.

Aunt Li thought for a while and said, "Bring me two more boxes of toilet paper!"

"Okay!" the boss agreed.

After a while, the boss came over with the goods, and Chen Yi stepped forward to take it.

"Yo, Sister Li, this new guy?" the boss asked when he saw Chen Yi.

Aunt Li said: "What guy, this is my nephew, it's a holiday, come to help me!"

After speaking, Aunt Li and Chen Yi spread the big box on the board car first, and then turned around and said to the boss: "Okay, let's go first, my things will be accounted for for me, and I will calculate them for you next time!"

"Okay, Sister Li, go slowly!" the boss said politely.

After buying daily necessities, Chen Yi went around with Aunt Li again.

"Sister Li is here! What are you buying today!" asked another boss.

"Bring me a box of salt, two boxes of soy sauce, and the new soybean oil I bought with you last time, and move me two boxes too!" Aunt Li said as she looked at the purchase list she remembered yesterday.

"Okay, I'll move it for you!"

More than half an hour later, Aunt Li pulled the cart, and Chen Yi pushed it behind, and finally squeezed out of the wholesale market.

Today, Chen Yi can be regarded as having a long experience, and he followed Aunt Li to run east and west, bought a lot of goods, and pulled a large flat car.

Pushing the cart for a few miles, Chen Yi was sweating hot.

"Xiaoyi, are you tired, do you want to rest?" Aunt Li shouted in front.

Chen Yi gasped and responded, "Don't be tired of my aunt." ”

"Okay, let's stop at the bridge ahead and grab a bite to eat. ”

"Okay, auntie. ”

Chen Yi pushed the cart hard in the back, Aunt Li pulled in front, Aunt Li still hung the hemp rope on her shoulder, and the other end was tied to the flat car, so when she pulled the hemp rope straight and walked forward, she pulled the cart with the strength of her shoulders, which could save a lot of effort for both hands.

Chen Yi finally realized Aunt Li's difficulty this time, he used to think that he could just sit in the store and buy things, but he didn't expect that the most tiring thing was to buy goods, not to mention getting up early, and pulling such heavy goods back.

Arrived at the bridge not far away, Aunt Li and Chen Yi gently put down the cart, Aunt Li took out two flatbreads wrapped in handkerchiefs from her arms, Aunt Li handed Chen Yi a piece, Chen Yi had already lost the previous restraint at this time, rubbed his hands on his clothes, took the flatbread, and ate it in a big gulp.

Aunt Li looked at how fragrant Chen Yi ate, she tore half of her cake and ate it in her mouth, and when Chen Yi finished eating his cake, Aunt Li handed Chen Yi half of her own again.

Chen Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, I don't want it, I'm already full, you can eat!"

Aunt Li was unwilling: "You eat yours, my aunt usually eats a small amount, and half of it is enough, you are growing your body, eat more." ”

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, and then took the cake: "Thank you, auntie!"

Aunt Li smiled and touched Chen Yi's head.

After eating and resting for a while, the sun has all come out at this time, and the early morning sunlight is now on the body, although it is not warm, but it makes people feel comfortable, and Chen Yi and Aunt Li began to hurry again.

When they pushed the cart and returned to the commissary tired and panting, Chen Yi felt that his legs could not walk, and he leaned on the goods and gasped.

Aunt Li was also tired, so she sat on the basket of the board car to rest.

After resting enough, Aunt Li was about to open the door, and a man came in front of her, dressed in a bury and bearded tea.

"Yo, Aixia is going to buy goods again today!" the man said to Aunt Li.

(PS: Aunt Li's name: Li Aixia)

Aunt Li was about to open the door with the key, but the sound of this person speaking reached Aunt Li's ears, Aunt Li's hand trembled, and the key fell to the ground.

Aunt Li didn't look back, bent down to pick up the key, and didn't speak.

The man walked up to Aunt Li and looked Aunt Li up and down.

Chen Yi stood by and watched, thinking that he was here to buy something, so he didn't speak.

As soon as Aunt Li opened the door, she went directly into the house, and the person followed in, Chen Yi opened the door as soon as he saw it, untied the rope on the cart, and then carried a box of goods into the house.

As soon as Chen Yi entered the house, the man looked at Chen Yi and said to Aunt Li, "Aixia, this new guy?"

Aunt Li still didn't speak, didn't even look at this person, and then helped Chen Yi to unload the goods together.

Chen Yi was a little curious, according to the usual regular customers in the store, Aunt Li would greet them warmly, and they were joking together, but the person opposite, Aunt Li seemed to be a little too cold.

The man seemed to be indifferent, and walked around the commissary.

Chen Yi faintly felt that there must be something in between.

Chen Yi and Aunt Li moved back and forth more than a dozen times, and finally emptied the goods on the cart, Chen Yi pushed the cart to the commissary where it was out of the way, and then entered the store, as soon as he entered the store, Chen Yi heard the man talking.

"Aixia, see if you can get some money for me, I've been a little short of money lately. The man stared at Aunt Li and said.

Aunt Li was standing at the counter, holding a notebook and writing down things, when she heard this, she put down the pen in her hand and said coldly: "You have no money, what does it have to do with me!"

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay now, didn't this still exist before!"

Aunt Li was about to get angry, she saw Chen Yi come in, and held back.

"If you want money, what do you like!" With that, Aunt Li entered the backyard angrily.

The man, with his hands behind his back, began to walk around the commissary.

Although Chen Yi didn't know what was going on between them, but their conversation, Chen Yi heard it clearly, Chen Yi looked at this man's face a few years older than Aunt Li, the image, looking at a typical rural uncle, Chen Yi couldn't help but guess his identity.

This uncle, back and forth, walked around the commissary several times, took a barrel of oil, a bag of peanuts, and a bottle of Lao Bai dry wine from the shelves, and was about to leave when it was over.

Chen Yi took a look,, there was a stealer yesterday, and today this one is even more awesome, this is to rob it.

"Hey, you haven't paid yet?" Chen Yi called out to the man.

The man turned his head to look at Chen Yi and said in a thick local accent: "Pay?

Chen Yi pointed to the things in the man's hand: "You took the money from the store, you haven't paid the bill yet!"

The man looked down at the things in his hand, and said with some disdain in his eyes: "Lao Tzu emptied this, and no one asked you if you believe it, let alone these things!"

After speaking, the person turned around and left, and Chen Yi stepped forward to stop: "Hey, if you don't pay, you can't take the things!"

"I said, you baby, you can't understand what's going on!" the man said in a somewhat impatient tone.

Chen Yi didn't care about him, he looked at the person and said word by word: "It's only right to take things and pay." ”

"Hey, you stinky boy!" said the man who put down what he was holding, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Chenyi.

Chen Yi thought that the man was going to do something with him, he didn't flinch, clenched his fists and prepared to make a big fight.

To see that the two of them were about to do it, Aunt Li suddenly ran in from the backyard and pushed the person away, Aunt Li yelled at the person: "What's the matter, Wang Xuanzhu, you are very powerful, now you have to do it to a child, right?"

Wang Xuanzhu was stunned for a moment when he saw Aunt Li, and then hurriedly changed his smile and said, "I'm playing with him." ”

Aunt Li impatiently pointed at Wang Zhuzhu and said, "Take your things, get out of here now!"

Wang Xuanzhu didn't say a word, hesitated for a moment, turned around and picked up the things on the ground, and left.

Chen Yi watched him leave and shouted: "Auntie, you can't let him go, he hasn't paid yet!"

Aunt Li looked a little sad, and let out a long sigh: "Forget it, Xiaoyi, there are some things you don't know, if he comes to pick up things again in the future, you just let him take them and record them in the account book." ”

Chen Yi was surprised, he didn't understand why Aunt Li said that.

"Auntie, why, then he comes every day, can we still let him take things every day?"
