CHAPTER XXVIII
Fast forward to August.
The dairy goats ate a lot of vegetables produced in the space, and they also began to produce milk, Aunt Osmanthus was amazed when she saw it, and then looked at the two pigs of Zhou Xiaoran's family, both of which were almost two hundred pounds smaller, and couldn't help but sigh, it seems that Zhou Xiaoran is really an expert in feeding livestock.
Zhou Xiaoran made some homemade snacks and tasted good, but due to limited conditions, it looked a little rough, and it was divided into four parts, one for Aunt Osmanthus, one for Aunt Chrysanthemum's house, one for her sister to keep, and one for her sister to send it, and one to send it to Zhiqing Point.
Although Xu Hui's feelings for her are also a little subtle now, Yu Xiangyang and the others are still good.
"It's delicious! Xiaoran, did you do it yourself? Yu Xiangyang took a bite and said very exaggeratedly.
"Yes, my sheep are starting to produce milk, and they are made from goat's milk."
"Goat's milk should be very fat, right, how do you get rid of the smell?" Zhou Yi couldn't help but be curious.
"I first strained it with gauze, added a little vinegar when cooking, and didn't use much of it, so the finished product had almost no smell."
Zhou Yi nodded and smiled slightly, "You are quite caring." ”
Zheng Hongbing looked back and forth between Xu Hui and Zhou Xiaoran, "If you want to say that you have a heart, our Xiaohui is also very hearted, every time she cooks a dish, it is the neatest and most beautiful." ”
"Xu Hui's dishes are good-looking, but they don't taste very good, and the dim sum made by Xiaoran is delicious." Yu Xiangyang said while eating.
"Of course it's delicious, it's all made of white flour and goat's milk." Zheng Weiguo also ate and said vaguely.
Zheng Hongbing saw Zhou Xiaoran's face full of smiles, and her heart was blocked, and she remembered what she heard.......
Xu Hui couldn't eat it anymore after just two bites, so he put down the snack, "I can't get rid of the smell of goat's milk, I can't eat this, you can eat it." With that, he went out.
"Leave her alone, she won't eat us." Yu Xiangyang said.
Zhou Xiaoran didn't care so much, the amount was not much, she could eat more if she didn't eat others.
Zhou Yi said to Zhou Xiaoran after a while: "We made too many buns at noon, I'll go get you a few and take them back." ”
Zhou Yi went out and turned to the plane tree outside the courtyard wall, and Xu Hui was really there.
"What's wrong with you lately? Why was it so rude just now? ”
Xu Hui originally saw Zhou Yi coming to her, and she was still happy in her heart, and when she heard Zhou Yi say this, she instantly lowered her face again.
"Am I rude? Yes, I'm just rude, I just can't get used to her fake look. ”
Zhou Yi frowned, "Why are people pretending, you don't have any reason to make trouble." ”
Xu Hui's eyes widened, he actually said that she was unreasonable?
“...... Are you helping Zhou Xiaoran? ”
Zhou Yi doesn't understand, is this a question of who he helps? Whoever is at fault, of course, will say whomever he is. However, thinking of what happened in Xu Hui's house, it may have had an impact on her, and she was patient to comfort her.
"I know you're in a bad mood because of your father's business, but there's no worse news coming at the moment, as long as people are still there, this day will always pass, don't worry, there is me."
Xu Hui suddenly couldn't help crying.
She was so bitter in her heart, her father was locked up, her mother divorced her father, and she took her younger brother to marry a coal digger, she worked all day in the countryside, and she couldn't see any hope, but fortunately there was Zhou Yi, which added a glimmer of light to her gloomy days.
Xu Hui hugged Zhou Yi and cried for a long time, until the clothes on Zhou Yi's shoulders were wet, and he didn't stop.
Zhou Yi didn't feel good when he heard it, he felt different when he saw this girl at first sight, to say that Zhou Xiaoran was actually much more beautiful than her, but he just liked Xu Hui's strength, clear and self-controlled, like a narcissus, but now, it was like a narcissus beaten by the wind and rain, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
By the time Zhou Yi went back with the buns, several people had already eaten up the snacks.
"Your bun is freshly steamed." Zhou Xiaoran couldn't help but ridicule.
Zhou Yi smiled and did not speak.
Zhou Xiaoran doesn't care, Zhou Yi has never been very fond of jokes.
"I'll go back first, and I'll bring it to you next time I make something delicious."
Zhou Xiaoran was chased by Zhou Yi halfway.
"I want to buy some more flour, when will I get it?"
Zhou Yi had indeed taken all the money he had bought before, and the keys had been returned to him.
"Twenty days later, you still have to pick it up yourself, and then I'll give you the key."
"A total of 200 catties, and 100 catties were bought for Zheng Weiguo."
Zhou Xiaoran thought for a while, "Then don't take him to that yard, you'd better move back by yourself." ”
"Of course, hey, if only I could borrow a bike."
Zhou Xiaoran's heart moved, "Just buy one yourself." ”
Zhou Yi looked at Zhou Xiaoran strangely: "What you said is light, even if you have money, it is difficult to get tickets." ”
"Hmm..... What if I can get a ticket? ”
Zhou Yi turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaoran, "Really? ”
Zhou Xiaoran nodded.
Zhou Yi touched her chin and thought, in fact, for him, the use of bicycles is not particularly great, but if he has a bicycle, he can take Xu Hui to the county seat in the future, doesn't she always complain that the car is too stuffy, the tractor is too smelly, and the donkey cart and carriage are too bumpy.....
"If you can get a bike ticket, I'll pay 10 yuan to buy it."
Ho, that's generous enough.
Zhou Xiaoran couldn't help but become curious, what kind of family background Zhou Yi was.
After the two finalized, they parted ways, not noticing Zheng Hongbing behind the ridge in the distance.
"And what did they say?" Xu Hui couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Hongbing's eyes rolled, "It's too far away, I didn't hear what they said, but I looked at the demeanor.... is more intimate, that Zhou Xiaoran smiled like a flower. ”
Xu Hui bit her lip, why! Why did Zhou Yi do this to her! On the one hand, he was good to her, and on the other hand, he hooked up with Zhou Xiaoran.
"Xiaohui, I said this when I was talking to you, that Zhou Xiaoran didn't look very serious at first glance, and he looked like that, the man was moved when he saw it.... It's not surprising, you, you're just too arrogant, and you also hold a shelf in front of men, in comparison, Zhou Yi certainly prefers Zhou Xiaoran's example. ”
Xu Hui's face froze, "You say, Zhou Yi prefers Zhou Xiaoran?" ”
Zheng Hongbing looked regretful, as if he shouldn't have said this.
"You... Don't listen to my nonsense, he and Zhou Xiaoran are indeed close, but this doesn't mean that there is anything between them, what Zhou Yi treats you, haven't you counted it in your heart? ”
Xu Hui thought that Zhou Yi treated her well, but whenever she tentatively said something about Zhou Xiaoran, Zhou Yi would stand on Zhou Xiaoran's side, God knows, her heart was going to break, so she was not sure what her status in Zhou Yi's heart was, and whether it was more important than Zhou Xiaoran.......
Zheng Hongbing saw that Xu Hui was completely immersed in his own world and treated her as if she didn't exist, so he pouted and went to find Zhou Yi.
"Xiao Huike is angry, she thinks that you have betrayed the relationship between you, and thinks that you shouldn't get too close to Zhou Xiaoran, in fact, according to me, it's not a big deal, we are all educated youths in the countryside, it is normal to have contacts, and Xiaoran is also a very good person..... However, Xiaohui may also be too nervous about you, for fear that you will be snatched away. ”
Zhou Yi only felt powerless, why couldn't Xu Hui get along with Zhou Xiaoran.
Zhou Yi ignored Zheng Hongbing and went directly to Xu Hui, who was wiping her tears.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, and didn't see Zhou Yi coming, but in an instant, the grievances in his heart became even worse, and the more tears flowed.
Zhou Yi wondered in his heart, he had always thought that Xu Hui was a cold and arrogant person, how could he be like Lin Daiyu and shed endless tears.
"Why are you crying?"
Xu Hui was stunned, didn't he feel a little guilty?
"Did you talk to Zhou Xiaoran just now?"
Zhou Yi thought, is it really because of this?
"Do you think I can't even say a word to other lesbians?"
"No, but.... Why don't you talk to other lesbians, just like Zhou Xiaoran? ”
Zhou Yi doesn't understand, what kind of .....?
"Don't make trouble unreasonably, okay, what's wrong with me?"
Xu Hui bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, "Why are you so close to Zhou Xiaoran?" What the hell is going on with you guys? Do you like her? ”
Zhou Yi is inexplicable, could it be that she has been targeting Zhou Xiaoran because she thinks she likes Zhou Xiaoran? Is he close to Zhou Xiaoran? He just bought things from Zhou Xiaoran a few times, is it necessary to report everything to Xu Hui?
"That's why you targeted Zhou Xiaoran?"
"You just tell me if it's or not."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath,
"It's not."
Listening to Zhou Yi's two words, Xu Hui's heart fell, but she was not very satisfied, but she also understood that she couldn't do too much, she could only take her time, one day, she wanted Zhou Yi to be the only one in her heart.
Zhou Yi only felt that getting along with Xu Hui had changed a little, and since then, Xu Hui has mentioned Zhou Xiaoran more and more frequently, as if only Zhou Xiaoran was left between them, which made him feel extremely tired.
Zhou Xiaoran took the time to go to the house on the outskirts of the county, put down two hundred catties of flour in the cabinet, and waited for Qin San to come.
The day before, Qin San went to their team to find her, saying that she wanted another batch of flour and rice, she thought about it, after this period of observation, she felt that Qin San was quite reliable, although it was a bit immodest in the eyes of ordinary people, but she felt that this person was very lively, so she simply let Qin San be her general distributor, so she agreed with him to meet here today.
It didn't take long for Qin San to come.
"Hey, this time is good, it's finally a little bit up."
There are 700 catties of flour, more than 400 catties of rice, 50 catties of preserved fruits, more than 100 catties of air-dried fish, and ten air-dried chickens on the ground.
"Hehehehehe, this is too much.... I'll give the money first. ”
Zhou Xiaoran snorted disdainfully.
"Don't worry, it won't be next time."
This time, I can make a lot of money.
Qin San thought for a moment and said, "Can I pull half of it first, and then come back to pull the other half in a few days?" ”
"Okay, I'll come to the county seat again next week, just then,"
"Cheng.... Girl, last time that pig.... Anything else? ”
Zhou Xiaoran looked at Qin San incredulously, "Of course not, how many people are so bold and dare to raise pigs privately." ”
Qin San thought about it, too.
immediately calculated the money for food with Zhou Xiaoran.
Qin San took out all the money on his body, a total of 190 yuan, gave Zhou Xiaoran a deposit, and wrote an IOU of 215.
Pull out a stack of tickets.
"This is a ticket from selling pork, it's not much, you take it first, and when this batch of grain comes out, I'll make it up for you."
Zhou Xiaoran took it, one hundred catties of food stamps, well, yes, it is national, thirty catties of meat stamps, ten catties of sugar stamps, and twenty * business coupons.
Return the meat ticket to Qin San, "I don't want a meat ticket, you give it to my sister." ”
added, "Don't say that I gave it, just find a way to supplement it, and this bag of dim sum is made by me, you can help me bring it to her." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the snack bag.
Qin San was a little embarrassed, "Isn't that why I robbed you?" ”
Zhou Xiaoran smiled, "It's time to create an opportunity for you." ”
Qin San instantly felt excited, this was the recognition from his mother's family, but it was strange.
"How do you see that?"
Zhou Xiaoran sneered, "I'm sharp-eyed." ”
