Chapter 26: The Poisonous Tongue
Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, at Li Dong's insistence, Lu Xiumei finally dispelled the idea of going to the vegetable market, although there is still a little vegetable left in the shop, but the preparation for the New Year is more important, and those leftovers have other uses for him.
"Uncle Wang, are you at home?"
Li Dong did not shy away from it, and went directly to the door, carrying a large bag of vegetables in his hand. That's right, it's the leftover vegetables sold in the store, Uncle Wang usually takes care of himself, and he has to thank him anyway for the New Year.
"It's Dongzi, why did you kid come over and stop selling vegetables?" Uncle Wang asked suspiciously.
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve today, and the door has just been closed, no, there is still a little vegetable left, I picked some good ones and sent them to you, uncle, don't dislike it."
After Li Dong finished speaking, he put the bag in his hand on the table and prepared to slip away.
"Wait, hurry up and get it back, you just started a business, and such a big spender will definitely lose money." Uncle Wang also knew that Li Dong was not easy, and didn't want him to "slap his swollen face and become fat".
"Uncle, you have to believe me, I really made money, and you have also patronized my store, don't you know what the situation is? You really can't afford to lose these dishes, so you can take them. ”
Uncle Wang carefully observed Li Dong's expression, it didn't seem like a lie, and he wondered in his heart: "Is it really so profitable to sell vegetables, but how did he hear that many people have lost everything." ”
"Dongzi, really? You didn't lie to my uncle. ”
"It's more real than real gold, if you lie, let me hit five thunders in the sky, now you should believe it." Li Dong swore to the sky.
"Okay, if you don't hit anything, then the uncle will accept it, just after a fat year."
Out of the gate of Uncle Wang's house, Li Dong wiped the sweat on his forehead, it's not easy, it's hard to be a good person.
At the next stop, Li Dong came to Uncle Feng's house, which was the supervisor Feng who opened the back door for him to work as a temporary worker. If Uncle Feng hadn't recruited him into the farm, he wouldn't have been able to pick up the meteorite, and there would have been no later adventures.
"Uncle Feng, I'm Li Dong, are you at home?"
Li Dong stepped forward and knocked on the door, Uncle Feng's family lived in the family area of the farm, a three-bedroom house, with an internal water supply system, although it was not free, it was much cheaper than outside.
"Yo, it's Dongzi here, come in, my dad is going to a meeting, and he may not come back until noon." The one who opened the door was Uncle Feng's eldest daughter Feng Xue, who was two years older than Li Dong, with big eyes and a duck egg face, a bit like a little swallow in her previous life.
"Sister Xue, have a good New Year. It's not a big deal, just come and bring you some vegetables to try. ”
Don't look at Uncle Feng's work on the farm, in fact, he is also a grassroots leader, at most one level higher than those ordinary employees. The farms are directly run by the government, and the management is extremely strict, and the welfare benefits are only slightly better than those of ordinary workers. Like Uncle Feng, the benefits he received at the end of the year were only a few dozen catties of rice or flour.
"Dongzi, I heard that you have made a fortune, it seems that what you said is true, come, let me see what good things you brought here." Feng Xue teased.
"Sister Xue, just spare me, you, a college student, are worth a lot more than me, a small trader."
Li Dong begged for mercy, that's right, Feng Xue is a star on the farm, hundreds of families on the farm, and so far, she is the only one who has been admitted to university.
Feng Xue ignored Li Dong's confession, and directly turned up the bag, oh, it was quite heavy, at least more than 10 catties.
"Cabbage, lettuce...... Ah, and tomatoes, which are a rarity. Feng Xue said in surprise that the tomatoes were picked by Li Donggang from the space.
"Dongzi, no, Boss Li, you're not a small trader, you're obviously a big trader."
Li Dong was speechless, he was not Feng Xue's opponent, he originally thought that she should improve after she went to college, but she didn't expect to become sharper.
Feng Xue saw that Li Dong didn't speak, and was about to increase the intensity of the attack, but she didn't expect that at this time, A-Niang came back with her younger brothers and sisters.
"Ah Xue, someone from the family?"
"Auntie, it's my Dongzi, don't you remember?" Li Dong hurriedly stood up and introduced himself.
"Oh, it's Dongzi, I remember, your dad and my old Feng are still old classmates." Aunt Feng recalled.
"Auntie, you see, Dongzi has made a fortune, so stupidly sent so many vegetables to our family." Feng Xue took the opportunity to interject, and at the same time picked up the bag in her hand and showed it to A-Niang.
"You kid, how old are you, and you still have no words, Dongzi, don't mind."
Feng Xue didn't apologize at all, and made a grimace at Li Dong. Aunt Feng symbolically patted her eldest daughter's arm, which made her restrain a little.
"It's okay aunt, there are still a lot of vegetables left at home, so I'll send you some to try, don't dislike it." Li Dong looked very polite.
"What do you dislike, Auntie's house is short of vegetables, don't be in a hurry to leave, stay at Auntie's house for dinner at noon." Aunt Feng took Li Dong's arm and asked.
"No, Auntie, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are still many things at home, next time."
"Yes, A-Niang, Boss Li is a great deal of opportunity, how can he have spare time to eat our family's broken rice." Feng Xue took the opportunity to mend the knife and gave Li Dong 10,000 critical hits.
"Feng Xue, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Aunt Feng seems to be really angry, and Dongzi is also very kind, what's wrong with her daughter today, why is she so squeezed Dongzi.
"Auntie, don't be angry, Sister Xue is just joking with me, it's okay, that, I still have something to do, let's go first." Li Dong saw that the situation was not good, and he took 36 plans to move forward.
"Bang ......"
"Feng Xue, Dongzi is gone, what do you say is going on?" Aunt Feng was going to ask for the truth.
"A-Niang, didn't Dongzi say it, we were joking." Feng Xue snorted haha.
In fact, the real reason is that no matter where she goes recently, she will hear about Li Dong's deeds, what she has made a fortune, and what she can do without going to college. The most unbearable thing for her is that someone even made them a couple, and they called them "talented men and women", which is really ugly. She won't stay in this small city, her future will definitely be in the capital, and she will jump out of Ping'an City.
Li Dong, who walked out of the gate of the farm, naturally didn't know that he had just suffered an unwarranted disaster. At this moment, he was touching his nose, feeling a little inexplicable, could this girl have eaten gunpowder, just a little bit, he shouldn't have offended her anywhere.
On the way home, Li Dong also went to the seed shop on Wanghu Road, but unfortunately the family had closed their doors and gone home, so he could only accept his fate. In order not to return empty-handed, Li Dong came to Shunda Department Store, bought half a catty of dried mushrooms, and went to the vegetable market to buy a rooster.
