Chapter Seventy-Eight: Nervousness

I found a hurry fruit box and removed the base. I asked Gao Tiansheng to write the words roasted sweet potato on it with a brush and put it outside the stall.

No one else can tell whether it is good or bad, but they all praise this word and look at it spiritually.

I can sell three or five a day, and basically my living expenses are about the same.

Gao Tiansheng would come here when he was resting, anyway, there was a stove inside, so I would cook some ready-made meals for him, sometimes some tofu and shredded pork soup, and he and I would sit around the fire to eat.

Later, he said that during the lunch break, he was lying in the office, and the chair was too lumpy, so I piled up the fruit boxes and spread a thin futon on which he could lie down and sleep for a while. Get some orange peel and put it on the stove lid, and the room immediately has a fragrant taste, eating fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, he is not willing to leave while lying on the bed.

Liang Yan saw that I had been trying to make money, and even sold roasted sweet potatoes, so I stomped my feet in a hurry.

"I said you're not a young girl, you can grab money so much! I've been learning from you, but I can't catch up with you even if I run hard! ”

Aunt smiled: "That's right, Qiaozhen, so desperately making money, how much dowry do you want to marry!" ”

I hurriedly took her hand: "Don't you make fun of me, the conditions of my family have also been told to you, how can I make less money." Besides, I have a lot of potatoes on my hands, and the price has always been so low, I have to die in a hurry, and I can't get some money back. ”

It's strange to say, it's long time to remember the price increase of potatoes, but there is no reaction at all, it's really anxious.

"Who is it that you have been on so much? The cheaper the goods, the more difficult it is to sell, but fortunately, this dish is a home-cooked dish, and we will help you sell a little when the time comes, don't worry. Liang Yan said.

I wondered, could it be that I remembered wrongly, it should be the price increase next year? As soon as I doubted, my heart was even more bottomless, I must not be mistaken, otherwise I would really lose my family.

The aunt grabbed and said: "It doesn't matter what you sell, let me ask you, what do you think about Gao Tiansheng?" It's going to be the end of the year, and I don't want to talk about taking you back to his house, isn't it because of the conditions of your house? ”

"He never said it, and I'm too embarrassed to ask." I smiled and said, "I guess it's because I'm too busy." ”

"You can't be like this when you're busy, you're a girl, and we all know about him. What's the matter with him hanging on to you like this? It can't be that his parents don't like you, right? Liang Yan said.

Aunt pushed Liang Yan: "Don't talk nonsense!" Our Qiaozhen is capable and beautiful, why don't you look down on her? ”

Liang Yan knew that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly smiled: "Look at my mouth, aren't I in a hurry?" I don't know how many people are waiting to see your jokes. ”

At this time, the customers all came, and everyone went separately to do business.

My heart is also a little uncomfortable, my birthday is approaching, but Gao Tiansheng doesn't say anything.

When I said that if I would get married before the year, I might not be able to get married in two years, could it be that I really have to wait for two years?

Du Cheng asked me to wait for three years before, but it turned out to be a failure, does he want me to wait again?

I'm also wondering if his parents don't approve of it, and he can't tell me himself. But I didn't know how to talk about it, and I was a little tormented.

I wanted to ask but couldn't say it, so I couldn't bear to say it.

In fact, from the beginning of the two of us to the present, I have always had a feeling like in a dream, I like a very good man, and this man also likes me, but this should be the plot of a fairy tale, will it become true?

I am very happy indeed. But there is also a hidden concern, that is, the gap between me and him is too obvious. He never told me about the work he said, I didn't understand everything he said, and he never introduced me to his colleagues and friends.

But I'm willing to believe in him because he's a good guy to believe in.

The day was foggy and surprisingly warm from the morning, but we all knew it was going to change, and we were all preparing to keep fruits and vegetables warm, because after the snow, the cold winter was coming.

When we were busy at the stall, Yuan Fang's stall, which had been vacant for many days, finally came.

I heard footsteps and the sound of the door opening, but I didn't bother to look up.

My aunt said to me at this time: "Qiaozhen, look, the person who came here is an old lady. ”

When I looked up, I saw that Sun E had also come to the city.

I remember that she always likes to wear brightly colored clothes and has a confident smile on her face. Although the hair is gray, the roots are clearly combed, and there are large gold earrings on the ears. After all, her family is a high-class family in the village, so she has a unique pride, but who knew that seeing her this time was completely different.

She was wearing a tattered leather jacket, thin and unpresentable, and had no energy at all.

She opened the door and walked in, and came out in the middle of the night, and got a worn-out cardboard box. When he saw me looking, he nodded and said hello to me, and his tone was much better.

"Qiao'er, how have you been doing lately?"

She and Du Cheng had done excellent things before, but after all, they were elders of a village, so they had to smile.

"Auntie, you're here to help watch the stall too!"

"Alas! What if I don't come here, this stall cost a lot of money at the beginning, Yuan Fang just came out of Xiaoyuezi, and she wanted to come back to set up a stall, so I came over to help clean it up first. She sighed and walked in.

I thought that this place had been empty for so long, and that there must be dust everywhere, so I said, "Shall I help you?" ”

She was a little embarrassed when she saw me come in: "You're busy with me, I'll clean up by myself!" It's not a big house. ”

"Nothing." I asked my aunt to help me look at the stall, walked over and said, "It's all from the villagers, and I should help you." ”

She didn't make me embarrassed to let me do the heavy work, she just asked me to sweep the floor, and the rest of the work of cleaning the glass and making the stove was done by herself. Sun E's mouth was broken, and she nagged me while working, and I knew the recent situation.

It turned out that Yuan Fang had a miscarriage, and Du Cheng was in a bad mood and never came back in the village.

Yuan Fang's mother-in-law's brother-in-law and sister-in-law were angry, so they went to the countryside to make a big fuss and beat Du Cheng, Du Cheng had enough, so he immediately filed for divorce.

Sun E sneered: "Yuan Fang will not divorce if he dies. said that he was willing to continue to live a good life. Also, I divorced twice after the divorce, and I obeyed her if she could afford to lose this person! ”

I didn't know what to say, so I could only sweep the floor silently.

Later, I thought, there is no suitable one, just get over it, and Yuan Fang also said that if he dares to divorce and get Du Cheng's job down, he can only endure it. Tell me how there is such a woman? I've been in the city for almost twenty days, and the two of us don't talk more than ten words. I just cook and do laundry at home every day, and I don't stop for a moment! Look at my hand! "She showed her hands in front of me, and her skin was soaking and twitching, and it was really miserable.

I said, "You buy that purple and red hand cream, which is the one that costs two cents a box, and it will be good soon." The floor is swept up, and I'm going back. ”

I turned around and walked out, but Sun E suddenly grabbed me and said softly; "Qiao'er, you are what I grew up looking up at, I know who you are, and now Du Cheng is not good at all, I wonder if you can accept him again? If you want, Du Cheng will quit his job immediately and go back to the village with you! ”

I frowned and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Don't worry, the family's land is rented out, and you don't need to farm. Even if you don't do anything, we can afford to support you! ”

I sneered in my heart, it is estimated that Sun E couldn't find a suitable city girl after looking around, and wanted me and Du Cheng. Life in the city is not easy either, so I miss the old time when I used to be majestic in front of me.

If I really go back to the village with Du Cheng, he will definitely say in the future that I returned to the village because of you, and my whole life has been ruined by you. I still don't know Du Cheng's character?

"Qiaozhen, I'll beg you to ...... instead of Du Cheng"

I interrupted her: "Auntie, Du Cheng and I have already been yellow. Don't say this in the future, be careful that Yuan Fang is not happy. You are an elder of one of my villages, and I can help you in the future, but nothing else is possible. ”
