On Monday, the Jia family's life returned to normal again. Jia Qianqian went to school with all kinds of reluctance as always.

After Jia Youwei sent his daughter away, he left the fat man to take care of the house, and went to the nearest vegetable market to his home. In fact, I also know that this dog who is as lazy as Garfield is not only a pet, but also a pet.

If there was any danger, the pistol locked in his drawer would be the most effective. He was not in illegal possession of a gun, but absolutely legal.

Jia Youwei thought about going to the stall to buy oyster mushrooms, so that he could make oyster mushroom tofu meat sliced soup at noon. So, he walked up to a stall with oyster mushrooms and said, "How do you sell this oyster mushroom?"

"Ten yuan a pound. The female vendor replied weakly.

Jia Youwei, with his rich buying experience accumulated in the vegetable market, wanted to bargain for such a high price: "Eight yuan a catty." ”

"You haven't bought vegetables!" the female vendor suddenly became angry, and her tone was very stiff.

Jia Youwei was stunned for a moment, after all, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He thought it was funny, and he grinned and said, "yes! I'm learning to buy groceries." ”

"Can you afford to eat?" The female vendor was pushed back by the other party, and naturally she was even more unhappy. Suddenly, the more she spoke, the more unpleasant she spoke.

"I can't afford to eat. "Jia Youwei has lived for more than 30 years, and it is the first time in his life that he has encountered someone who dares to look down on him really.

This is not a person with a few copper plates in his pocket, but a middle-aged woman at the bottom of the society, among the disadvantaged groups, who makes a living by selling vegetables in the vegetable market.

He was not angry at all, and his heart was still as calm as water. I didn't want to kick the other party's stall over, and even scolded you XX, how about you stinky vegetable seller.

"Then hurry up and let me go, don't get in my way. The female vendor said with a particularly excited side.

"Oh, okay!" Jia Youwei began to wonder why she was so angry, as if he had hurt her.

Could it be that the poor man has a big temper? While he left silently, he believed that the other party would either encounter something bad at home, or encounter something troublesome today.

Otherwise, it's just a bad mood, and the eldest aunt is here. This one is not right. According to the other party's age, he should stop menstruating and will not come to the eldest aunt again.

Jia Youwei put himself in his shoes, and finally came to a conclusion that he was more satisfied with, others came out before dawn, went to the vegetable wholesale market to get vegetables, and then hurried here to sell vegetables at retail, just to earn some price difference.

It's not good that I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and I didn't even plan to eat it. For her, it doesn't matter if she eats breakfast or not.

In the documentaries that Jia Youwei has watched, there is a reaction that people at this level only eat one meal a day in order to save their lives. What's more, the cost of living in this cosmopolitan city is really high for the average person.

Even if you live in a place with a basement of less than 10 square meters, you have to pay at least 5 or 600 yuan a month. A ten-square-meter above-ground room outside the Fifth Ring Road costs 1,500 yuan.

As for the above-ground residences in the Third Ring Road, there are not a few thousand yuan, and I don't want to live in a single room. Partitions, shared housing and other forms have become the norm.

A house like Jia Youwei, who lives in a prime location in the Second Ring Road, is something that many people don't even dare to think about.

Getting up early before dawn is not the worst. The worst thing is that the vegetables come wholesale, which are not easy to sell and cannot be sold. This stall is not sold out until the vegetable market closes in the evening, and it has to be carried and peddled around the street. At 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, even 9 o'clock, and 10 o'clock are still on sale.

On the second day, I still have to get up at two or three o'clock, or three or four o'clock, and then go to the vegetable market to wholesale all kinds of vegetables, and the cycle repeats, regardless of wind or rain, etc. Spring, summer, and autumn are fine.

If it is winter, that taste will make people feel what the suffering of the world is. Since it's all so hard, then don't stay here anymore and go back to your hometown to farm!

I'm afraid that people who say such things are completely unaware that the land in the mountains, drought, desertification, etc., is completely incapable of supporting people. Moreover, the land allocated to each person is pitiful.

If Jia Youwei remembers correctly, he read an official report that there is a village in a mountainous area where dozens of families live, but there is only one and a half acres of paddy fields. Each family planted for a year, and it came in turns.

The order before and after is in the order in which the lot was drawn that year. As for those who did not plant the one-and-a-half-acre paddy field, they planted the barren land where the grass did not even grow much.

Even if it rains heavily, the land can't store the water, and it just leaks down. If you continue to stay in the local area, your life will be a problem, and if you come out, you can still live.

"How do you sell oyster mushrooms?" Jia Youwei said after walking a short distance, stopping at another stall that sold oyster mushrooms.

"How much do you say?" said a woman who was also in middle age, smiling.

"Eight yuan a pound. Jia Youwei reported it to others again according to the bid just now.

"Okay, it's eight yuan a catty. Listen to your accent, young man, like this local. You are the person I have ever seen not only not bully us outsiders, but also the person with the best personality and the best temper, which is simply good and speechless.

To tell you the truth, the one you asked just now was my cousin. She's worried about her son's marriage! For you people in the city, a bride price of 1 or 200,000 yuan is not a problem at all.

After all, one or two square meters of house here can offset our headache of bride price. But if we don't have that money, we're going to die. The middle-aged woman told the truth.

After Jia Youwei heard what the other party said, he was completely relieved of what had just happened. In addition to feeling a lot, the only regret is that she didn't take her daughter with her, so that she could listen to it with her own ears, so as not to be deceived by her as a story she made up herself.

"Can you consider the local girl or the other people who live there? Jia Youwei made his debut while picking oyster mushrooms.

"Local girl, we can't afford to climb high. Even a girl from someone like us has been working here for a few years, and she has completely changed as a person.

They also learned from the girls in the city, and it was okay to get married, first of all, the house. It is said that the house prices near the Seventh Ring Road can be sold for one or twenty-one square meters. This is much cheaper than the bride price, which is still the bride price. "The middle-aged woman has one thing to say.
