Chapter Eighty-Eight: Look Ahead

The eldest brother said as he walked inside, "I hurried over after work, but it was still dark." What's the matter, can you sleep on that little kang? I look a little small. ”

"Sleep, it's warm there." The sister-in-law smiled.

"Then I'm relieved!" The eldest brother said with a smile, I didn't elaborate on the things at home.

It's all a family, even if you know that they are bullying your sister-in-law, what can you do? It can only be vaguely passed.

The eldest brother washed up and sat down with us to eat.

I gave my sister-in-law another twenty yuan, but my sister-in-law hurriedly refused: "No need, Qiao'er!" That's too much, and I don't have much money to spend right now. ”

"What can I do if I don't have any money? You take it! Buy whatever you want, you're welcome, I'm rich now. I laughed.

The sister-in-law choked up and said, "Qiao'er, I'm causing you trouble." ”

"What's this! You can be my companion. If you hadn't taken me in, I would have had to sleep on the meadow. ”

The eldest brother smiled and said, "Qiao'er will take it for you, I see that there are many kinds of canned food sold in the city, it seems to be very delicious!" You buy a bottle! I said, "It's all full of pigments, don't eat it, I'm full of fruits here, do you want to eat anything fresh?" I'll do it for you! I cut up all the apples and pears that weren't very good, boiled them in water, added some rock sugar, and froze them out overnight to eat. ”

The sister-in-law smiled: "I'm hungry for what you say now." ”

The eldest brother hurriedly said, "Then let's do it now!" ”

"Wait for me to get a box of fruit, and now I only have a few oranges here." I said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll accompany you to the goods tomorrow morning."

I hurriedly refused: "You still have to go to work, why do you get up so early?" I'll do it myself! ”

"My sister is so hard, can I not pay something? That's it. ”

The sister-in-law frowned and said, "In this case, you have to sleep in Qiao'er, but the area inside is too small to sleep!" ”

"I'll sleep inside, you two sleep outside." I laughed.

"That's not good, I'm snoring too much, arguing with your sister-in-law, I'll just lay on the floor!" The eldest brother smiled: "It's much warmer here than the shed where you live." Hurry up and go to sleep! ”

I found a few more mattresses, and now I spread a thick paper shell on the ground, and then pounced on them, and the quilt was not enough, so I covered it with the cotton jacket on my eldest brother's body, and pressed the clothes I took without a pillow underneath. The eldest brother was not uncomfortable, and fell asleep directly.

I said in my heart, no matter how busy I am tomorrow, I also have to buy some quilts and padded jackets to let my eldest brother sleep better.

Before dawn the next day, my eldest brother and I got up to load the goods, and neither of us dared to alarm my sister-in-law, so we went out quietly.

A cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but shiver.

The eldest brother hurriedly turned around and said, "You can wear more clothes, don't freeze!" ”

"Well, I'm fine." The two of us walked one after the other.

The eldest brother said: "I can't come every day, your sister-in-law depends on you." ”

"Don't worry! I know what to expect. ”

"Qiao'er..."The eldest brother hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Our factory director knows that I have a girl who is not married, and wants to introduce you to a partner." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to get married?" ”

"I thought that if I kept remembering the past, it would be useless, and the days should be forward. But if you're not happy, I won't ask for anything, and you'll talk about it when you figure it out. ”

"What does he do?"

"It's the accountant of my factory, his family is also from the village, but now he lives in the city, he has a very smart brain, and he is twenty-three years old this year. I look at it well. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet then." Big brother looks at good people, and he shouldn't be bad anywhere. ”

The eldest brother was very happy: "Then I'll take him to your stall on the weekend off, if it doesn't work, pull it down, don't have a psychological burden." ”

I hummed, that kind of unrealistic dream, it's better to wake up early.

My eldest brother and I went to the vegetable station together, and it was still a lively scene, and my eldest brother was obviously shocked when he saw such chaos.

"You have to be careful, Qiao'er!"

"Well, I'm used to it." Thinking that Gao Tiansheng had also experienced the situation here, maybe he thought I was too pitiful, so he was kind to me, right? My heart is very sour.

My eldest brother and I had apples and pears, and there were also some vegetables, I went to the stall selling potatoes to see, there were few that sold them, and the wholesale price alone had risen to three yuan, which was really exaggerated!

When my eldest brother and I went home, my sister-in-law had already gotten up and was cooking, and she smiled and said, "Wash and eat, I made tortillas and fried cabbage." ”

I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother and I eat this, you can eat steamed buns by yourself." I have enough grain here! ”

The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Well, Qiao'er eats much better here than at my mother's house." ”

My mother's steamed buns are a little bit of flour mixed with cornmeal, and recently I will steam a few white flour buns, no need to ask, my mother will give my sister-in-law a makeover, but my sister-in-law is embarrassed to ask for it, and in the end it all went into the stomach of Liu Ye and the second brother.

The second brother is used to being delicate since childhood, the second sister-in-law is very hard because she is pregnant with two, and her mother has always been very partial in eating, and the sister-in-law rarely eats something good, so she is so thin.

The eldest brother has been serving vegetables to his sister-in-law, and he feels very sorry for her, but he can't quarrel with his mother because of this, and he is also very embarrassed.

I smiled and said, "There are a lot of people in the family, and my mother can't take care of it, so I don't need to pay attention to those here." Eat it! ”

"Yes." The sister-in-law lowered her head and ate in large gulps.

The eldest brother ate and went to work busily, and the sister-in-law also put on thick clothes and wanted to go out with me.

"No!" I smiled and said, "I can take care of the stall myself." ”

The sister-in-law shook her head: "You listen to me Qiao'er, I know that this coal is expensive, and the two of us are in the same place." It can also save some burning, and besides, it's not interesting for me to be here alone, so I might as well go over there and be your companion. I took all the needlework. ”

I thought what she said made sense, so I agreed.

I led her to my booth and introduced her to my aunt and Liang Yan, who all exaggerated that my sister-in-law was good-looking. My sister-in-law was very embarrassed and kept hiding behind me.

I was in the stall, teaching her to know the stars on the scale, as well as the prices of all vegetables and fruits, and she learned very quickly, and she was able to sell her own goods in a short time. I saved a lot of trouble.

I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are much better than me, I have been miscalculating at that time, and I have made Sister-in-law Bai angry." ”

"How can I be as good as you say?" The sister-in-law sat there with a smile and took out some cotton cloth and sewed the cotton curtain carefully. Her stitches are dense and her work is finely done.

At noon, I asked her to help watch for a while, and came out early to deliver the potatoes. I didn't see Wang Shi, but another woman received me and asked me to sign the notebook.

The woman asked me, "Little girl, where did you get your potatoes, so cheap?" You've made a lot of money now, haven't you? ”

I smiled and didn't answer.

When I went back, I made a special turn and went to the market. Because of the cold weather, there are a lot fewer vendors here, but there are still people who are wearing thick clothes and still holding on.

I saw a stall buying padded jackets, so I walked over and stroked one of the big red sleeves with my hand and asked how much it was.

The stall owner was carrying a bunch of socks and gloves on his back, and when he looked back at me, he took my hand in surprise: "Qiao'er! There you are? ”

I'm also very happy that it turns out that Aunt Fang has been helping me when I was harvesting rice!

"Auntie, you're setting up a stall here!"

"Children have to pay tuition fees for schooling, how can they make some money if they don't make some money? Do you buy padded jackets? I'll pick one for you! "She found me a long gray padded jacket with white stripes.

"Don't want that red one, although it's good-looking, it's not useful, this one is cheap and warm!"

"Okay, you can choose two for me, and I'll buy one for my sister-in-law." I asked her to help me buy a few pairs of cotton gloves, a few masks and a cotton hat, and by the way, I asked me to help me choose a pillow and a thick mattress from the nearby stall owner.

These things were bundled in a big bag and put on the car.

Because she is there, she has spent a lot of money.

I kept thanking her, and Aunt Fang smiled and said, "What are you thanking, I also earned it, just bring me two repeat customers in a hurry." ”
