Chapter 30 Buying Chickens and Eggs
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask the second girl?"
Aunt Fuhua doesn't remember what the two girls had to do.
"Oh! I, I just met her on the way here, and I asked her when she wasn't in a good mood. ”
Ye Yu didn't know what the second girl thought about hanging, and he definitely couldn't say it without permission.
"Auntie, we just moved to Baoshan Island and have a lot of things to do, so I have to go back first."
Ye Yu wanted to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Aunt Fuhua.
"What's the hurry, I'll get you something before leaving."
As if she was afraid that she would run away as soon as she let go, Aunt Fuhua grabbed Ye Yu all the way into the kitchen. While loading her food, he asked her.
"Do you have to build your own house when you move in? Do you want to let my eldest and second child go and help you get it? ”
Hearing this, I have to say that Ye Yu was very moved. After all, she and A-Niang are women, and their physical strength is naturally weaker than that of men. There were some thick trunks that they could only look at but couldn't get back. It would be nice if someone could help.
But the pile of things at home is really eye-catching, and it's not easy to hide for a while. And the reputation of himself and A-Niang is too bad, and the brothers may not have anything to say when they go to the island to help.
Forget it.
Ye Yu shook his head and rejected the proposal, turned his head and discussed with Aunt Fuhua about buying eggs. Aunt Fuhua gave her a few handfuls of common dishes, and she could accept them cheekily, but eggs are not cheap, and there is no reason to take them for nothing.
It just so happened that there were vegetables and meat at home, but there were no eggs, so she thought about buying some directly from Aunt Fuhua's house.
"You girl is really stubborn, okay, I'll sell it to you at the price in the market! How much? ”
"Twenty, thank you, auntie!"
Eggs cost two cents a piece, and twenty dollars are forty yuan, and she can afford it now.
She is not very greedy, mainly because A-Niang has not eaten anything good for most of the previous half a year, and the deficit is terrible, and she must make up for it.
"Okay, just twenty."
Aunt Fuhua's family has a lot of eggs recently because they are going to hold a wedding banquet. She took a bamboo basket and put twenty-five eggs in it.
"These five are for me to give to your mother, our neighbors, and we all have to give gifts when we move to the house. It's just five eggs, not too little. ”
Ye Yu, who was about to refuse, listened to what Aunt Fuhua said, and suddenly couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to take it in his hand with a smile.
Push back and forth a lot, some hypocrisy and hurt feelings, anyway, I will often come and go in the future, next time I will bring some delicious fish and crabs.
"By the way, girl, I still have a few hens here, do you want to catch one and go back and lay eggs."
Ye Yu's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
"Yes, yes, yes! Can I buy two? ”
It is more than enough to raise two chickens in such a large place on Baoshan Island. When the time comes, you can pick up eggs at your doorstep, and you don't have to go out to buy them.
Aunt Fuhua understood what she meant, so she turned around and went to catch the chicken. The two big hens were grabbed with their wings and feet tied in a few moments.
"I just harvested these two hens yesterday, a total of one hundred and forty yuan. I was in good spirits, and I laid two eggs in the morning. ”
Ye Yu paid very happily, and after saying goodbye, he left with two chickens and a basket of eggs.
She walked fast, bent on getting back to the raft early and going home. As a result, I was unlucky to meet my grandma who came out to play with her grandson on the way.
Wang put away the smile on her granddaughter's face at first sight, and she just wanted to scold a few words, when she suddenly noticed that her granddaughter was holding a chicken and an egg in her hand, and the broom star that reached her mouth suddenly turned a corner.
"Stinky girl, it seems that you are living a good life with your mother, you are really a white-eyed wolf, and you don't know how to honor your elders. These two chickens give me eggs and give me eggs, your grandfather has been in poor health recently, and he has to make up for it. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the baby in her arms began to shout with drool.
"Milk, meat, meat!!"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it when I get back in a while."
As he spoke, Wang stepped forward to take away the hen, but unexpectedly, the always silent and well-behaved granddaughter directly avoided her hand.
"Grandma, you misunderstood, this is the chicken I sent to others, and I will lose money if I lose it."
"If you lose, you will lose, your family has eaten my rice for so long, and I can't eat your two chickens?!"
Wang's face is not very good-looking, and he is about to take it hard with a straight face. But today's Ye Yu is no longer the pitiful little one who can only hide behind his father and mother before.
She turned around and ran away with the chickens and eggs, crying as she ran: "Grandma! Don't rob my guest's chicken! I don't have any money to lose! Woowoo woo ......"
Wang: "!! ”
How dare this damn girl!!
At this time, it was almost noon, and almost all the villagers who had not gone to sea were cooking at home. As soon as everyone heard Ye Yu's crying voice, they all immediately ran out to see the excitement.
Ye Yu's mother and daughter were driven to the island, and every family in the village knew about it, and everyone understood that a little girl and a sick and weak woman must have a hard time. At this moment, when I heard the little girl say that it was her guest's chicken and egg, everyone took it for granted.
So Wang was despised.
"Dashan, damn you, this is too unkind. The daughters-in-law and granddaughters have told you to kick you out, and you are bullying people like this. Be careful that your third child comes back to you in the middle of the night. ”
"Phew! Don't be ashamed! ”
"What a shame! At the beginning, Ye Laosan drove away his wife and daughter without giving a penny as soon as he finished the funeral, and now he licks his face to rob other guests' chickens to eat. Obviously, there are several in my chicken pen, and I want to rob the child! ”
"That's it, don't go too far as you can be a man."
Anyway, they are all people who have lived in this village together for so many years, and the third family of the Ye family is a good person, and some of the villagers who are not used to looking down on the Wang family took this opportunity to criticize her with a head and face.
Wang has always been spicy, but it's okay to just quarrel with one or two people. When most people started accusing her, she could only run away with her grandson in her arms.
As soon as the parties ran away, the excitement was gone, and everyone turned around and went home to talk about it when they had new things to talk about.
It's a pity that Ye Yu, who ran back to the beach in a hurry, didn't see it, otherwise he would definitely be happy.
She didn't know if Grandma would catch up, so as soon as she got to the place where the raft was parked, she quickly put it down and untied the rope and rowed away.
When I came, I rowed fast with the wind, but now I go back against the wind and the two chickens on the raft are not honest at all, so I can't paddle wholeheartedly on the road and delay some time. By the time she returned to Baoshan Island, it had been more than an hour.
She was very tired at this time, but she was in a very good mood.
Two chickens, a basket of eggs, and two large jars, she carried and lifted them to the forest with great difficulty.
"Auntie! I'm back! ”
She was greeted by a pair of cold dog eyes.
Hiss......
