Chapter 20: Selling Fruits
Except for Ji Sheng, who had been walking beside her and peeking at her from time to time, no one noticed that she was wandering at the moment.
Qi Xiangxiang's palms had been pinched out by her own nails, and the hatred revealed in her lowered eyes was almost turning into substance.
And after seeing Jiang Yuan and Jiang Sheng living in such a big courtyard, she felt deep jealousy in addition to hatred.
Lying on the bed after washing, Jiang Yuan remembered the content of the book about the heroine Qi Xiangxiang and her brothers and sisters.
The book says that Qi Xiangxiang is mediocre in appearance and is a very talented and resourceful woman, but because of her father's preference for sons, she has not lived very well in the Qi family, and was excluded by other brothers and sisters, until Chen Aihua appeared, so that she had the warmth of home.
But Jiang Yuan watched a movie with them today, and he didn't notice that Qi Xiangxiang was having a bad time, she was dressed first-class, wearing a pearl bracelet in addition to her watch, and she was a proper daughter.
As for being excluded by her brothers and sisters, she didn't see this, she only saw that Qi Yang and Qi Siwen wanted to wear her to chat several times but she ignored them with a cold face, not so much that they excluded her, but that she excluded them alone.
However, Qin Ping is a character who has not been mentioned in the book, Ji Sheng has appeared once, when Qi Xiangxiang and Chen Aihua quarreled, Chen Aihua said that she had a crush on Ji Sheng, the little bully in the Beijing circle, when she was young, but Ji Sheng's vision did not take a fancy to her.
Because of this, the two had a cold war for a long time, and later Qi Xiangxiang found that Chen Aihua and the female secretary had signs of eyebrows, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart, and she took the initiative to reconcile with him, and said that Ji Sheng was in the past, and the ashes were gone anyway.
Thinking of the plot, and then thinking of the young man who stared at him in a stunned state without concealment, Jiang Yuan pondered and meditated for a long time, but he didn't find out how he didn't.
Forget it, she doesn't want to, she has to find a way to earn money and buy another courtyard house before the Chinese New Year.
On the other side, Qin Ping and Ji Sheng returned to the retro small western-style building where he lived.
Before the blush on Qin Ping's face could subside, he was made by Ji Sheng's words and went to the root of his ears again.
"Do you like that Jiang Sheng?"
Qin Ping nodded shyly, "Classmate Jiang Sheng is very gentle and helpful. ”
Ji Sheng's peach blossom eyes overflowed with a smile, "What about Jiang Yuan?" ”
Qin Ping thought about it seriously and considered his words, "Classmate Jiang Yuan is also very good. ”
The Ji family raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, threw him a wordless look, and turned to go upstairs.
Qi Xiangxiang tossed and turned all night, and when she got up in the morning, her eyes were blue and black.
Qi Siwen was taken aback by the dark circles under her eyes, "What's wrong?" ”
Qi Xiangxiang wanted to speak and stopped, she couldn't tell Qi Siwen that she didn't like the two sisters, but she just happened to watch a movie together, and they really wanted to treat them as friends, and they wanted to go on an outing with them, but they couldn't look down on her friends, didn't this mean that they couldn't look down on her?
is a daughter, but Qi Yan can be pampered by her family, she can only live carefully.
Thinking of this, her face showed a little displeasure, "Brother, Xiaomei, they also wanted to ask us for an outing before, can I call them next week?" ”
Qi Siwen thought of the girls who were tending to be inflammatory, and immediately waved his hand, "This is the bureau of Qi Yan's group, she doesn't like your friends, you better dispel this idea." ”
Who doesn't know the thoughts of those girls, but Qi Xiangxiang is still willing to mix with them, and I don't know what she thinks.
Qi Xiangxiang was even more unhappy, they just looked down on her!
After eating breakfast full of resentment, she picked up her bag and went out.
Not far from the walk, a little boy of five or six years old ran over and stuffed her with a letter.
Looking at the handwriting, it was indeed the person who claimed to be her own father.
The letter was still to ask for money, saying that her grandmother had fallen and was going to be hospitalized, and asked her to pay some filial piety.
Qi Xiang was so fragrant that she crumpled the letter and threw it to the ground, but in less than half a minute, she picked it up and put it in her pocket.
Waiting for her to leave with a black face, Xu Dongnan walked out of the state-run restaurant on the side with a meat bun, saw her back, shook his head and hummed a song and walked slowly to the alley not far away.
Shortly after he entered the alley, a man in half-worn red short-sleeved sleeves followed.
If Qi Xiangxiang saw it, she would definitely be able to recognize that this person was Xiao Liang who drove Qi Mingyuan.
Since Qi Mingyuan found out that his daughter had been transferred, out of instinct, there have always been people who have been staring at Qi Xiangxiang, and he doesn't believe that those people will not use it if they go to great lengths to bury such a chess piece in the Qi family.
Sure enough, he was finally waited.
Qi Xiangxiang didn't know these things, she was now worried about money.
Xu Dongnan was in a hurry, she didn't have much money in her hand, it was still early for Qi Mingyuan to give living expenses, and after thinking about it for a morning, she finally decided to go to the Qi family's big house, because Old Man Qi and Old Lady Qi lived with Big House.
And Mrs. Qi, who was remembered by Qi Lao Xiangxiang, was bargaining with two plainly dressed and dark-skinned little girls in the back alley of her house.
"Auntie, it really can't be missing, we also want to study, so we secretly recite it behind our family's back to exchange for some tuition." Jiang Yuan clutched the back basket on the ground, in addition to a large watermelon, there were some peaches and plums, and Jiang Sheng's back basket was oranges and apples and other fruits.
Last night, when Jiang Yuan was shopping in Pinxixi, he saw that there was an old farmer's shop processing fruits at a low price, and the price was so cheap that she felt like she was losing money if she didn't buy it, so she bought a thousand catties of everything, and when she received the goods, she began to worry that she couldn't finish it at all, so after class, she dragged Jiang Sheng, who was going home to make clothes, out to change fruits.
I don't want to run into a difficult old lady just after I came out.
"Oh, little girl, less, give grandma me less, I want these two baskets together." Mrs. Qi clung to the basket and resolutely refused to let go of the price.
The average price of these fruits in Jiangyuan is about three cents a catty, because she buys a lot, and the price of selling it is eight cents to one piece, but the old lady bargains for seven cents, and she will not let her go if she does not sell it.
"Grandma, it's really not good, we started walking on our backs before dawn, and we only entered the city until we got here, you went to the supply and marketing cooperative, the price is higher than this, and there are not so many varieties. If it weren't for the sake of studying, the two sisters wouldn't have done such a risky thing. Jiang Sheng lowered his voice and went to pull Mrs. Qi's hand as he spoke.
"Good at reading, good at reading, in this way, if grandma discusses something with you, you will send me another two hundred catties of each tomorrow, and I won't say eight cents, give you nine cents, what do you think?"
Old Mrs. Qi dodged Jiang Sheng's hand, she was at such an age, she didn't have anything else she particularly liked to eat, just a bite of fruit, the red apple, the watery peach, the round and big watermelon, if she was run away by these two little girls, she would have wanted to fall asleep this month.
