Liao Qingqing didn't see her either, so she put the bowl and planned to leave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sister Qingqing, this meat can't be given by that Qin Xiaohu, right?" Liao Xiaomei walked over from the kitchen wearing a green cloth apron. In addition to her and Zhang Caixia, the rest of the family are the elderly, men and pregnant women. No way, she's going to start helping with the cooking.
I thought it would be smooth sailing, but I ignored my little cousin. Liao Qingqing turned around and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Sister Qingqing, this is the first time we have met, it's a big deal to talk, what can I ask for other people's things, and I won't make people feel that our family is shallow and look down on them." What is the situation in the uncle's family, Liao Xiaomei knows very well, that she is willing to buy so much meat, refining oil, and stir-frying meat and vegetables, it must have been given by Qin Xiaohu, it seems that this family has been completed.
Liao Xiaomei disdained in her heart, isn't she just a little postman, as soon as people came to discuss their relatives, they agreed, and they didn't make any money.
Liao Qingqing burst out laughing, this is the righteous words that Liao Xiaomei said, but what happened to the expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred?
"Xiaomei, you think too much, this is what our family bought ourselves." Liao Qingqing saw that the expression on Liao Xiaomei's face changed to stunned, and chuckled a few times.
"Bought it yourself? How much does it cost to buy so much! Liao Xiaomei couldn't believe it, Ou Hongying didn't have a reason to be so willing.
"That's it, you guys spend too much money and buy so much lean meat, aren't you afraid to eat you poor?" Mrs. Wang originally thought that this meat was given by others, but now she is not happy when she hears that she bought it by herself, on the one hand, she is distressed about the money, and on the other hand, she also feels that the boss's family will not live.
I bought some meat and came back to give you a bowl of filial piety, and now I will tell you about it, it is really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs.
As soon as the smile on Liao Qingqing's face fell, he reached out to serve the bowl on the table, "Milk, don't forget it, I'll take it back and put it in the evening as a dish, and I don't need to get the evening dish." ”
"Don't, I want it, I want to eat." Mrs. Wang's eyes were quick, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she protected the vegetable bowl in her arms, she hadn't touched meat for a long time, how could she let go of the things in front of her.
"Just eat, and don't say anything about what you don't have." The corners of Liao Qingqing's mouth hooked, swaggered out, and said in a low voice when she passed by Liao Xiaomei, "If you have the ability, don't eat it." ”
This sentence hit Liao Xiaomei deeply, she pinched her clothes with both hands, and her eyes were red with anger. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, what's the big deal, but looking at the oily meat dishes on the table, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
The daughter went to the hall to deliver food, Ou Hongying kept looking at the door, and when she saw Liao Qingqing coming back, she pulled her to the table, and the family didn't move, waiting for her.
This meal was satisfying to everyone.
Liao Qingqing was also the first time to eat meat when she came back from rebirth, and she was also hungry.
After a few days, there was more work in the watermelon field, and some watermelons were ripe and ready to be picked. Liao Qingqing and Zhao Sanye planned the day and went to the team to report to Zhou Changhe, this watermelon is from the team, and when it is ripe, it will be pulled to the town to be sold, and then the money will be shared together.
Selling watermelons on the team is not a matter of one or two years, how to do it, how long it takes, there is experience. It's just that this time Zhou Changhe only gave a wheelbarrow, and did not transfer people to help, deducing that there were not enough people on the team, and that Liao Qingqing had become an adult, and he had to do these physical tasks by himself.
I don't know if Zhou Changhe deliberately took revenge on himself because of what happened last time.
Liao Qingqing had no choice but to push the wheelbarrow up the mountain and pick it up slowly.
This watermelon picking is a technical job, not all of them are ripe at the beginning, you have to pick them one by one. Because there was no extra manpower, Liao Qingqing picked it two days before the market. Maliu Town is big, and there is only one market in five days, and it is not enough to sell if you don't pick a little bit, and the melons that are too ripe are not delicious.
When he got home from work at noon, Liao Qingqing saw a person riding a bicycle at the gate of his yard from afar. Look at the oilcloth bag and figure on the car, isn't it Qin Xiaohu, the previous blind date, what is he doing here?
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I, I'm ......" Qin Xiaohu was nervously stretching his neck to look into the courtyard, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice. When he turned his head, he saw that it was the person he was looking for, and suddenly he blushed and his heart was beating, and he stammered when he spoke.
Liao Qingqing rolled her eyes in her heart, didn't she make it clear last time, what is this person still chasing to the house?
"Comrade, if you don't have anything to do, don't stand at the door of someone else's house, it will cause misunderstanding." If you see it, you might get some gossip.
Liao Qingqing bypassed him to enter the courtyard, Qin Xiaohu was anxious again, holding back a big red face, "That, I am Qin Xiaohu, a newly transferred postman, and I will deliver your letters and packages from Hongtan Village in the future, I will deliver them once every three days, if you want to send a letter, you can find me." At last he said this, but when he looked up, he had already entered the courtyard.
Liao Qingqing was a little speechless, when did the postman in Hongtan Village change? She thought that the blind date was over like that, but she couldn't think of a follow-up. Forget it, ignore him for now, and continue picking melons in the afternoon.
Qin Xiaohu mustered up so much courage, but only gained a back, and he was also angry. Despite the opposition of her family, she finally changed routes with her colleagues to get close to her, but she didn't expect that people didn't want to deal with you at all. Looking at the fence yard and the earthen embryo house, he didn't understand why the man named Liao Qingqing couldn't look down on him, and he didn't know how many times better the conditions in his home.
He wanted to rush up and ask, but he didn't dare, so he had to leave dejectedly, and met a few people on the way, but he was in no mood to pay attention.
Liao Xiaomei looked at the distance and walked on her own, and then looked at her yard, and snorted coldly, she said that it didn't work out before, and she dared to say big things, but she didn't admit it when she came to the door.
The next day, as soon as the day dawned, Liao Qingqing packed up his things and went out, and he had to hurry up to the morning market to sell melons today.
When he went to the mountain, Zhao Sanye had already started to move, and the watermelons were picked two days ago, put on the grass pile, and then picked up by bamboo frames and pulled to the river by boat to the town.
Liao Qingqing moved all the melons to the box, and the people who arranged to pick the melons on the team also came, a full twenty boxes of watermelons, and it took about half an hour to move them back and forth to the boat.
By the time all the watermelons were moved to the free market, it was past eight o'clock, and there were already many pedestrians on the street.
After putting away the things, the villagers who picked melons had to go back to the village after saying hello, and only Liao Qingqing and Zhao Sanye were left in the stall.
Liao Qingqing pushed a small table and a small stool on the street with a wheelbarrow, and was tired enough to choke along the way, so he put down his things and poured a few mouthfuls of water, wiped his sweat before starting to prepare.
