Chapter 6 Stalls
After eating, Yu Handong was about to wash the dishes, he used to wash the dishes, Xia Chuqing stopped him and said: "Come on, it's the third year of junior high school, mainly studying, I'll wash it when I'm here, but if you are sloppy in your study, I will teach you a lesson." Yu Handong nodded, turned around and went over to do his homework. In Yu Handong's eyes, his mother Sun Xiaohua almost didn't do housework, and sometimes the dishes and chopsticks eaten at noon in the morning had to be left for him to wash at night.
Yu Zhongqiu actually said a few words: "I'll wash it, you are still a guest now." Xia Chuqing squinted at him, then honestly shut his mouth and walked away.
After washing the dishes, the two of them played with their mobile phones for a while, Yu Zhongqiu got up and went to take a bath, the temperature of his bath was lower, like now when the water temperature has not reached the approved temperature, basically the water temperature has risen slightly after he has taken a bath. After Yu Zhongqiu entered the bathroom, Xia Chuqing said to Yu Handong: "I did well just now, remember that the afternoon is the secret of the two of us, don't let your dad know, you know how powerful I am, and you are so weak, train with me tomorrow morning, your dad will set up a stall around 6 o'clock and I will go with him, so you get up with me at 5 o'clock, and I will take you to exercise." ”
Yu Handong took a deep breath and nodded, then muttered: "It's shameless to be someone's stepmother at such a young age." The voice was very small, but Xia Chuqing still heard it, so she snorted twice and said, "Don't call me stepmother in the future, call me sister, otherwise I will be angry and won't give you pocket money." And I can't let your dad know about the pocket money I gave you, you know. Yu Handong glanced at her and nodded.
When it was almost six o'clock, Xia Chuqing took Yu Handong, who was weak, home and gave him 100, you read it right, it was 100, and then said: "Sign up today, it is estimated that your father will also give you money, I can invite your classmates to eat some snacks or something, after all, you won the game, and the classmates are envious, and this is given to you by my sister in private, don't let your dad know, you also take what your dad gave you, don't show your stuffing." ”
Yu Handong was immediately moved to tears, his mother had never given him the impression of being so loving, it was not a matter of money, but that he won the game, his mother didn't even call, and he didn't care about his affairs at all before, and this cheap sister who jumped out of nowhere may actually be the stepmother's person, but she also took into account interpersonal relationships for herself, so he couldn't help but be moved.
When he entered the door, Yu Zhongqiu had already gotten up, and he had cooked the noodles, and he deliberately left some of the chicken soup last night. The fragrant chicken noodle soup, with poached eggs on it, is full of aroma, which makes the index fingers of the two people who have just finished exercising move, Xia Chuqing originally wanted to eat a little, but in order to cooperate with Yu Handong to promote the relationship between the two sisters and brothers, she also gobbled it up with him, this is the feeling of eating that she has never experienced in her life, and there is a hearty feeling. She didn't know why she was like that.
After eating, sure enough, Yu Zhongqiu gave Yu Handong 2 yuan, the school was nearby, go home for dinner at noon, Yu Zhongqiu felt that 2 yuan pocket money was enough, Yu Handong didn't feel any special feelings, his father has been picking the door like this, but Xia Chuqing's stunned eyes were like copper bells, and at the same time, there was a burst of warmth in his heart, such a person who picked the door would actually use all his body to save her, a person she didn't know at all, how much courage and determination it takes. Then I couldn't help but be moved to the point of being a mess.
is still the same sentence, when one person likes another person, everything is right for the other party, and it will feel good to slap yourself
, and when one person doesn't like another person, the other person is wrong to even breathe.
The three of them rushed out, closed the door and went downstairs, Yu Handong went to school, Xia Chuqing took Yu Zhongqiu's hand and followed him to the market, it was about 6:20 at this time.
There is also a particular location for setting up a stall, and Yu Zhongqiu had a fixed stall before, even if he went late, it was his, and others had already occupied it if he hadn't set it up for a few years, but the stall contract was still in his hand, and he set off early to catch the stall, and if others had already set it up, he would be embarrassed to drive people away. So I have to hurry up to set up a stall this time.
Sure enough, the two of them had just occupied the position, and when they started to set up the shelf, a middle-aged man came, and he came with a trailer and pointed to my stall and said, "Alas, what are you doing, this is my position, do you understand the rules, move away quickly." ”
Yu Zhongqiu sneered: "I rented this stall with the market for a long time, and I occupied it for you for a few years, but you still dragged it up." While it's still early, hurry up and find a place, or wait for the good seats to be occupied. After saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to put those clothes on the table. The middle-aged man refused to leave, he wanted to come over and fight, but he was a little less courageous, after all, those who have a backstage may not necessarily come to set up a stall. He simply placed it directly in front of Yu Zhongqiu's stall.
There is only a road in front of Yu Zhongqiu's stall, and the person is blocked on the road, and neither of them can do business and affect pedestrians, so Yu Zhongqiu is sure that the market management will definitely take care of it, so he is too lazy to rummage over his stall, but the market management usually comes out to collect sanitation fees from half past seven.
When the time came, sure enough, the market management appeared, Yu Zhongqiu didn't know, the person had come up and listened to the middle-aged man, so he came over to ask Yu Zhongqiu to close the stall: "You, put things away, people are a fixed position to pay the monthly fee." Although Yu Zhongqiu signed a long-term lease contract with the market, the sanitation fee still has to be paid, he has not set up a stall for a long time, and it is not surprising that the market management does not know him, the key is that his long-term lease contract is in the original home, that is, in his ex-wife's house, but these can be verified.
Yu Zhongqiu said: "I am a long-term tenant, I have paid for ten years, I didn't pay him before, and now I have nothing to do, of course I have to set up a stall for living expenses." The market management groaned for a moment and said, "You are a long-term tenant, so what about your contract?" Yu Zhongqiu said: "Who came out and brought that thing, my name is Yu Zhongqiu, you can check it out at the management office, the previous secretary Zhang Xiaojun in the village was in charge of this matter, then that, Zhang Mi came over." ”
Shiyan Town was previously expanded by Shiyan Village, the establishment of the village is still there, and this market was originally responsible for the village, which is a piece of fat, and it is impossible for the village to give it up. Therefore, in the village, Zhang Mi is responsible for the monthly subscription of tenants' fees and sanitation fees, and those scattered sanitation fees are collected by some fixed idle people in the village.
Zhang Xiaojun came over, I said hello to him, handed a cigarette over, and sent another one to the market administrator, Zhang Xiaojun listened to them say a few words, and then said: "This position is Brother Yu signed a long-term lease contract, no matter how long he has not placed, as long as he wants to place, pay the sanitation fee can be placed, and Xiao Liao, you have occupied the position of other people for a few years, what do you want, this row is the position of long tenants, the last position of the person has not been placed for more than a year, you can use it first, the market may have to expand next year, When the time comes, you should sign up for a better spot as soon as possible. ”
The man muttered indignantly while collecting it, everyone is a white-eyed wolf, and he has used the stall for a few years in vain, but he blames Yu Zhongqiu. After he moved away, Zhang Xiaojun saw that there was a woman behind Yu Zhongqiu, who was turning her clothes out of the package, so he asked, "Brother Yu, who is this?" ”
Every time Yu Zhongqiu was asked, he didn't know how to answer, so every time Xia Chuqing answered by himself: "My name is Xia Chuqing, it's his girlfriend, hello, Zhang Mi!" Zhang Xiaojun said enviously in his heart that the old cow eats tender grass, and naturally shouted kindly: "Little sister-in-law, hello!" ”
Yu Zhongqiu turned on the lighter and helped Zhang Xiaojun light a cigarette, and the market manager motioned for himself to light it. Zhang Xiaojun patted Yu Zhongqiu's shoulder and whispered: "Brother Yu, the matter between you and Sister-in-law Yu has now spread, I can't imagine that you are so affectionate, what kind of world is this." Yu Zhongqiu was also sad suddenly, maybe he didn't understand Sun Xiaohua at all, just like he didn't understand Xia Chuqing now, maybe he didn't understand all women.
After chatting a few words about Yu Sun, Zhang Xiaojun asked again: "What's going on with this Xiao Xia?" Yu Zhongqiu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know what's going on, I met her on the train, she didn't have the money to buy a train ticket at that time, so I bought it for her, and then when I arrived in our Nanzheng, she said that her relatives had not been contacted, and asked me to take her in for a few days, and then she relied on me, and now I can't get rid of it." ”
Zhang Xiaojun said: "No, you put her there?" Yu Zhongqiu shook his head and said: "She wants to, but I can't, first of all, I can't take advantage of people's danger, and secondly, she is too beautiful, I can't control it." Zhang Xiaojun peeked at Xia Chuqing, and saw that her temperament was elegant in her gestures, she was definitely not an ordinary person, Yu Zhongqiu had little knowledge but couldn't see it. Then Zhang Xiaojun also agreed with Yu Zhongqiu's words, this is a high match, not Yu Zhongqiu's play.
After Zhang Xiaojun left, Yu Zhongqiu began to continue to hang up the unplaced, and the boss of the wholesale market introduced him to the latest styles, but it doesn't mean that it must be good, because it is considered to be open and sent a circle of friends, so some friends came, and sold more than 30 sets in the morning, earning about more than 300, purely small profits and quick turnover, and Xia Chuqing was surprisingly silent, someone looked at her, and nodded with a smile, someone asked about the relationship between the two, she didn't make a sound, Yu Zhongqiu introduced him as his distant cousin, and she couldn't help but keep quiet, Yu Zhongqiu is still a little unaccustomed to being quiet.
At noon, Yu Handong would come to the market after school, and then Yu Zhongqiu ordered two fast food, one more meal, and the three of them ate in the stall, Xia Chuqing asked Yu Handong about some school things, and Yu Zhongqiu couldn't interject, but it was more gratifying to see that they got along well. After eating, Xia Chuqing took 100 yuan to take Yu Handong out for a spin and bought him some school supplies.
In the afternoon, more than ten sets were sold, all of which were friends who gave face to the circle of friends, Yu Zhongqiu knew that there would not be such a good business tomorrow, but he finally had some spare money in his hands, but the money had to be used to purchase, but at least he could not use credit money. Set up a stall until three o'clock in the afternoon, there is no one to go to the market, Yu Zhongqiu bought some meat and vegetables or something, and bought some snacks, Yu Handong will generally be hungry when he goes home in the afternoon, and he doesn't eat much at noon at the beginning of summer, and it is estimated that he will be hungry.
When he passed by the fast food restaurant on his way home, Yu Zhongqiu paid back the first account. God will not beat people to death with a stick, God will not starve a blind finch to death, people are willing to cook, there will always be food, and they will never be starved to death.
The start is good, so Yu Zhongqiu cooked braised pork at night, braised pork with the taste of Jiangnan Province, the color is ruddy, spicy and fragrant, Xia Chuqing actually doesn't eat chili peppers, but when Yu Zhongqiu smiled and helped her clip a few pieces, she bit it sweetly, and then immediately spit it out spicy, wow wow screamed, and no longer had the grace to drink water, take a big breath, see the two fathers and sons laughing, couldn't help but be angry, wanted to slap the table and scold, saw Yu Handong sensibly handed over the napkin, so he took it and wiped his mouth.
Yu Zhongqiu saw that she was embarrassed, but she still couldn't bear it, turned around and went into the kitchen and took out a bowl of braised pork without chili peppers and put it in front of Xia Chuqing, and then said: "I said, your decision is hasty, your taste is different from ours, I think you should go back to Shanghai, you have been here, your family will be sad." ”
This sentence stimulated Xia Chuqing, she was weak on the surface and didn't like to argue, but in fact, she was also a stubborn person who refused to admit defeat. So she picked up a piece of braised pork and bit it into her mouth, the spicy stimulation made her mouth numb, and the hot feeling rushed down from her throat into her stomach, her stomach was a little spasmodic, and her whole face was covered with unstoppable tears, not crying or spicy tears.
Although it is spicy enough, Xia Chuqing still stubbornly stirred with her numb tongue and ate the meat, in fact, in addition to spicy, there is also fragrant, the kind of fried fragrance, and the rich meat aroma, as long as it resists the spicy, the rest is an endless aftertaste.
Yu Zhongqiu will make two kinds of braised pork, today this is to stew the meat with white radish first, and then fry the stewed meat with hot oil until golden brown, and soak it in cold water, so that the skin will wrinkle like a tiger skin, cut into balls with skin for each piece, add radish and broth and cook it a little, the spicy taste is arbitrary, and add local garlic sprouts out of the pot.
In fact, you can't eat too much spicy food for the first time, you will eat bad stomach, Yu Zhongqiu handed her a carton of pure milk, Xia Chuqing drank two sips, and finally relieved herself, Yu Zhongqiu said: "You can do it, I admit that I underestimated you, don't be angry, let's eat spicy next time." ”
Xia Chuqing snorted and sandwiched another piece, this time she ate with the rice, and she ate very energetically, so the Yu family father and son also began to eat. After eating, Xia Chuqing asked, "I didn't see you buy milk, when did you buy it?" ”
Yu Zhongqiu said with a smile: "When I bought vegetables, I thought that you might be spicy, so I bought it, and you probably didn't see it in the middle of the dish." Xia Chuqing couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in her heart.
