Chapter 21 Selling Eggs
He had to explain to her immediately: "Don't cry, I really didn't get beaten last night." ”
Qinglian still didn't believe it, so he had to tell the truth: "When I came home last night, my father happened to come back from the casino, and as soon as he saw that you were gone, he jumped high to chase you back, so I tried to stabilize him and locked him drunk in the house." ”
Qinglian then remembered that when she went to his house just now, his father was locked in the house and looked like he was hungover.
"Flutter," she burst into tears and laughed.
Li Yifei was confused by her, why is this girl's face like the sky in June, crying and laughing when she cries......
"Brother Yifei, you are so smart." She said appreciatively.
Li Yifei smiled embarrassedly, and kicked into the car again and sped away.
Suddenly, two girls caught up with them on bicycles, and Qinglian felt that the two of them were deliberately catching up with them. One of the girls with big eyes, a slightly dark goose egg face, and a pretty face stared at Qinglian for a few seconds when they passed by their side, and then slowed down and was quickly left behind by Li Yifei.
Qinglian asked Li Yifei strangely: "Do you know her?" ”
Li Yifei immediately replied: "I don't know." ”
Intuition tells Qinglian that he is lying.
Thinking of the girl's beautiful and clever appearance, she asked jealously: "You don't know her, and I don't know her, why does she catch up with us and stare at me?" ”
Li Yifei was obviously nervous, and then said vaguely: "Maybe I know, I didn't pay attention." ”
Qinglian was even more confused, but thinking that she and Li Yifei hadn't been in touch now, she couldn't ask too much, so she didn't mention it again.
When she arrived at the market, looking at the bustling crowd, because she had returned to the market when she was a girl, Qinglian couldn't help but look at all this eagerly.
In this era, young men wore monotonous army green cotton coats, blue Deka pants, and big scalp shoes. The older ones wear blue cotton coats, black pants, and black handmade cotton boots. Young girls wear fancy jackets, red or green goose down jackets, bell-bottoms of various colors, and high-heeled leatherette boots on their feet, while older women wear old jackets and cotton boots made by themselves.
On one side of the market are sellers of baskets, rakes, brooms, and other household farm tools, and on the other side are sellers of eggs, bran, and grains.
Qinglian carried the eggs in her basket and put them in an open space, Li Yifei looked around and whispered to her: "You sell eggs here, I'll go to the market for a walk." ”
Qinglian immediately said, "Okay, okay, you can go to the market, thank you." ”
Li Yifei nodded and rode into the crowd.
In winter, chickens lay fewer eggs, and they are expensive to sell, but they are also sold quickly. So as soon as her eggs were placed on the ground, several people came around and asked her how to sell them. Qinglian said with a smile: "Go with the market, I will sell at whatever price everyone sells, I don't want one more point, and I won't sell one less point." ”
"Hey, this little girl is really good at talking, then I won't fight with you, I'll give you 1 cent, sell it, I'll ask for it, it's a cold day, you little girl's house is squatting and suffering." A hawker-like man crouched down in front of the basket and said.
Qinglian has already asked for a good price, and at this time, the eggs are 1 mao 2 or 1 mao 3 a, and 9 cents is more than a catty, she will not sell them cheaply.
She said unhurriedly: "Uncle, I won't sell you at this price, you can go elsewhere." ”
The man suddenly felt that this little girl was not easy to fool, so he asked, "Then what price do you want to sell?" ”
Qinglian said: "One price, 1 cent and 2 a, 1 yuan a catty." ”
"That's too expensive, you're the most expensive on the whole set." The man smacked his lips and got up and walked away.
Qinglian is not in a hurry, she looks at it, there are few eggs to sell, but there are a lot of eggs. She only has 50 eggs, and she is afraid that she will not be able to sell them.
She looked at the passers-by with great interest, while humming a small tune relaxedly, looking refreshed and idle, but she was in a hurry to buy eggs, and someone asked the price for a while, she bit the price and did not let go, and the 50 eggs were quickly bought.
Qinglian carried 6 yuan in her arms, carrying a basket and running excitedly to the depths of the market. She thought in her heart: Li Yifei didn't know whether to go to the market to play or buy things.
At the same time, he was also sentimental: when will I see him again?
I decided in my heart: I had to create an opportunity to "get along" with him as soon as possible, relive my life, and get him in hand as soon as possible, in case I had too many dreams at night.
"Hey, you're done selling eggs?" Li Yifei's voice rang out in the crowd.
She followed the sound and saw Li Yifei squeezing towards her with a dark, thin young man.
Thinking of him, he came, Qinglian secretly pursed her lips and smiled, and then said to him with a smile: "Just sold out, have you come back from shopping?" ”
Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Let's go over there and meet a few people, you go to the market first, I'll wait for you at the intersection." ”
As if embarrassed, he squeezed into the crowd with the young man and disappeared.
What a bonus! Qinglian thought that this would be separated from him, and she would wait for the next time she met, but she didn't expect him to be so careful and thoughtful, and she would send her home again.
Haha, that's great, Qinglian really wants to cheer, but this is a bazaar, she has to hold back, otherwise she will be treated as a psychopath.
Thinking of the previous life, from the first time they met, he began to appear on her way to the market, as well as her home, and the two frequently "met by chance". Later, the taciturn still didn't confess to her, but asked her friend Wang Meiling to convey her heart for him.
So, they secretly fell in love under Meiling, the "matchmaker", and later because of the hatred of the two adults, poor Meiling was also involved, she was beaten by her father, and her mother complained......
Thinking of Meiling, Qinglian was very excited. She hasn't seen Meiling since she was reborn, because Meiling is not at home, and at this time she is living at her grandmother's house to serve her grandmother (her grandmother is really sick), and she is going to serve the old man for her mother, because her mother accidentally fell and injured her leg a few days ago (in fact, she was injured by her father) and can't go out.
Qinglian secretly vowed: In this life, she will not only live well for herself, but also let the kind and weak Meiling live well.
When she had the money, she first bought salt and poured a pot of kerosene, which had already cost 1 yuan and 5 cents. Thinking that there is still a mother's dried sauce at home, it is used as soy sauce, so I bought vinegar for 5 cents and a big sauce for 5 cents. Then I walked to the cloth stall, spent 5 cents to pull a pair of shoe cloth for each of my three sisters, and chose a bright red, ready to go home to make a pair of cotton shoes for them to wear.
The three of them are all picking up the small clothes and shoes she wears, the third child is very active, and he is also rough, and it costs to wear clothes and shoes, and the pair of cotton shoes on her feet that pick up her leftover are almost worn by her. The heel of the shoe couldn't be lifted, and the front of the shoe was poked out of her toe, and her father used the spider webs on the wall to fill the hole for her, which was ugly and frozen, and she couldn't change it.
