Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Unexpected Buyer
Watching the father and son eat so happily, especially the younger brother Shui Yun, children like to see new things after all, and right now, just the apple drawing has deeply attracted his attention. After exclaiming loudly, he stopped talking, and the movements of his hands became faster and faster, and he kept reaching for the chopsticks to the plate. In a short time, a plate of plucked apples was eaten.
However, although this dish is very fresh to Shui Daquan, he has seen the skills of his daughter many times. Seeing that his body had almost recovered, there was no problem with eating and working, and he thought about it for a while. Then he looked up and said to Shui Yao on the other side.
"Yaoyao, you see I've been at home for so long. If you stay like this any longer, your body will have to be destroyed. I've been taken care of by you so well lately, I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to it when I suddenly return to the unit! ”
Shui Daquan's words were not so surprising to Shui Yao. She knows that her father is an idle person, even when he is not injured, he is always the first to rush to work in the mine.
Now Shui Daquan has the idea of going back to work, which is of course a good thing. However, I haven't been to the county seat for a while, and even if I don't have anything to sell, it's good to change the environment. Besides, there really isn't much food at home right now.
Now, she has been in this era for a long time, even if she thinks about the black and white posters posted in front of the movie theater, it can make her heart itch for several days without eating or sleeping.
"Dad, can you take me with you when you go to work tomorrow!"
Shui Daquan, who was pulling the rice into his mouth, was not too surprised by Shui Yao's proposal, and after a deep groan, he joked with a smile.
"What, want to go into town again? Haven't you been looking for that kid from the Fang family to give you tutoring lately? Wouldn't it be nice if you suddenly didn't go tomorrow? Do you want to go over and talk to someone now? ”
Alas, her father is really, which pot is not opened. Looking down at the small dried watermark on his sleeve, Shui Yao felt very embarrassed, so he hurriedly found an excuse to pass it off.
"Hey, no, Brother Pei Nan knows about this, and he also said that I have been studying hard recently, so I will take a day off tomorrow, as for going to the city, hehehe, isn't this normal? Besides, I don't just run out on my own. ”
"When I was cooking just now, I found that our rice and noodles were almost eaten, so I thought I would take this opportunity to go out and buy some tomorrow, anyway, it was just a stopby, and I wouldn't disturb your work, Dad, you allowed me this time......
As he spoke, Shui Yao almost stood up and coquettished Shui Daquan. Although this Shui Daquan has always looked at her daughter like an eyeball, how can she stand her begging again and again? You waved your hand and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Good, good! Isn't it just going to go into the city once, what's the big deal? The main thing is that my daughter opened her mouth, and I naturally promised a hundred and a thousand, even if you tell me that you want the moon in the sky, I have to set up a ladder to climb up and fish it for you! ”
However, Shui Daquan still has some worries about Shui Yao's entry into the city this time.
After all, the last time his daughter encountered those bad things at the door of the movie theater, even when he heard it afterwards, he couldn't wait to beat Li Xuemei, the woman who was telling right and wrong, with a hoe.
There will be a second time when everything has a first time, thinking about it before Shui Yao went out to do business behind his back and provoked a lot of people, Shui Daquan really couldn't let go after thinking about it, so he could only explain it again and again.
"Girl, you don't know that there are a lot of bad people out there now, when you go out to play by yourself, your father is not by your side, and he can't protect you, if you meet someone like Li Xuemei again, how can it be good? It's not that Dad doesn't believe that you can't fight him, but you're weak, what if he brings a group of people with him at that time? ”
"So, when you go out, you must be careful, do not clash with others, and be vigilant everywhere. If you come across any unscrupulous garbage people, remember that the police station is not far from the movie theater, and there are people patrolling the streets with armbands, you can ask them for help......"
Since the relationship between their father and daughter has eased, Shui Daquan has changed his reticent personality in the past, and he has become more and more talking, especially when it comes to himself.
However, pity the parents of the world, Shui Yao can of course understand Shui Daquan's worries, not to mention that she herself has had many years of experience in the workplace before, and she has practiced a lot of self-defense skills in her previous life, and it is more than enough to protect herself, but these can't be told to Shui Daquan on the surface.
"Dad, don't worry, I remember it, you see that you are really, I haven't gone out yet, you are already worried about being like this. Besides, didn't Li Xuemei have been locked up in the bureau last time? She can't do it with a simple theft, she blatantly does business at the door of the movie theater, and she will definitely not be cheapened if she is punished for several crimes! ”
"Besides, Dad, think about it, it may not be a bad thing for her to be able to enter the bureau, after all, I heard that it was because Li Xuemei's family was already poor and couldn't open the pot that she ran out to do business secretly, and now her three meals a day are all free, and the quality of life is much better than before!"
"So, you can rest assured, look at yourself, your brows are furrowed more than the steps on Mount Tai, let go quickly, is your daughter so easy to be bullied?"
Looking at Shui Yao's eyebrows and eyes full of confidence, Shui Daquan gradually let go of his heart, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Look at you, you look like a villain, Li Xuemei can make you happy like this when she enters the bureau, you look in the mirror and see, you can even crack the corners of your mouth to the back of your head."
"Don't you forget, didn't you sneak out to do business behind my back before? What does this mean? It shows that the risk of doing business is still quite high, and the money that licks blood from the knife is really uncomfortable to spend, so ah, you should do less of this speculative thing! ”
Shui Yao knew that Shui Daquan's thoughts were difficult to turn around for a while, so he no longer spoke against it. After the two agreed on the time, Shui Daquan also gave Shui Yao the only food stamps left on his body, and then went back to the house to rest.
After that, Shui Yao quickly boiled the water, cleaned up a lot of pots and pans, and washed with Shui Yun.
"Yunyun, I'm going to go into the city with my dad tomorrow, didn't you make an appointment with the dogs in our village to go to the puddle to play? Tomorrow when he comes, you bring the apples, and I'll have one left for you after I've finished cooking today, but remember not to come back too late......"
When Shui Yao stopped everything, he went back to the house and began to think about what he would buy the next day. Although he made a lot of money in the city last time, he really didn't have many food stamps at home now, and Shui Daquan didn't go to work in the mine because of his injury during this time, and the unit naturally didn't send these things, so Shui Yao had to secretly sigh that he had made mistakes in doing business these few times.
After all, in this era, those coupons are much more expensive than money, and many things can't be bought with money. The noodle bowl and the rice bowl have bottomed out, and this mere half a catty ticket, even if it is replaced with coarse grains, it is only more than two catties, even if it is only eating gnocchi soup, it is estimated that their family will not be able to survive even two days.
However, fortunately, I still have dozens of dollars in my hand, and if I really can't do it at that time, I can only pay a little more to change it on the black market.
Before going to bed, Shui Yao seemed to suddenly remember something, and a clever person got up, and went to the kitchen lightly to put the ginseng he had dug up before into the basket.
The next day, after separating from Shui Daquan, Shui Yao originally planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange for some food, but thinking that this place was relatively close to the black market, he sent a ghost to go there first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned into the alley, her arm was immediately grabbed, Shui Yao was startled, her heart tightened suddenly, and she couldn't suppress her regret coming at her overwhelmingly.
The day before, Shui Daquan kept reminding her to pay attention to safety, but he never put these words in his heart, and now it seems that everything is foreshadowed, no wonder his right eyelid has been jumping since he went out this morning.
Just as he was about to shout out desperately, a familiar voice came from his ear: "Water girl, don't be afraid, I'm Lin Baichuan, don't you know me?"
After hearing this, Shui Yao slowly put his mind at ease, stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his heart a few times, looking very pale.
"Alas, Comrade Baichuan, it turned out to be you, it really scared me to death! I said, can you not be so like a dragon every time, just now I was not mentally prepared at all, this person is scary but will scare people to death. ”
Lin Bai wore a neat overalls this time, although he still had glasses on the bridge of his nose, he looked a little more meticulous than last time. Seeing that Shui Yao was scared like this, Lin Baichuan immediately apologized, and his eyebrows were full of embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry! Didn't I suddenly see you happy, it's really a little not enough to do things, you forgive me, but why did it take so long for you to come? Do you know that I've been here several times, but every time I've been unlucky, I haven't met you......"
