Chapter 21: Feng Shui Rotates
Xia Yao sat in an ox cart and carefully counted his remaining assets.
More than 100 yuan was obtained from Su Linlin, as well as the money from several traffickers, and now it is 552 yuan and 4 cents added together.
Those traffickers still have a lot of tickets on them, bicycle tickets and a lot of special tickets, all of which are good things.
But it's not a matter of sitting and eating empty, according to the direction in the book, plus the sets of quilts sent by Xia's father and Xia's mother, they are telling her that sooner or later, the Xia family will not be able to hold back their true faces.
In this way, finding a way to get money is the biggest problem at the moment.
Lu Jing has a way to make money, but she is now the number one suspect in Lu Jing's heart, and she has to wait if she wants to cooperate with Lu Jing.
How exactly do you make money?
Xia Yao followed the bumps of the ox cart, and his heart also floated out.
In this era of lack of food and clothing, in this era when we must be careful everywhere, and if we are not careful, we will become speculative bad elements, what can be done to be safe and make money at the same time?
However, racking his brains, Xia Yao didn't even figure it out.
"The county seat is here!"
Uncle Niu shouted, and Xia Yao immediately came to his senses.
She hurriedly took out five dimes and handed it to Uncle Niu: "Uncle, go back first, I want to buy something in the city, I'm afraid it's already dark when I go back." ”
Uncle Niu looked at Xia Yao for a while, and then didn't take the money, but looked at Xia Yao.
"Xia Zhiqing, let me say more, if you go back now, you won't even be able to buy a train ticket without a letter of introduction."
"Uncle Niu, what do you think? Am I that kind of person? Xia Yao immediately shook his head, "I'm going to buy a bicycle, our brigade is only more than an hour away from the county seat, and if you ride a bicycle quickly, it will take half an hour to arrive, what should you do if you wait for me to delay the work in the field?" ”
Uncle Niu came to the persuasion of his mouth, but was blocked back by Xia Yao's sentence of "bicycle".
"Bikes?" Uncle Niu stopped smoking, as if he was looking at something rare, staring at Xia Yao, "You want to buy a bicycle?" ”
Xia Yao nodded: "Yes, otherwise I would have to ask you to help every day when I come to the county seat, how embarrassing would it be?" ”
After saying this, Xia Yao hurriedly stuffed the money to Uncle Niu: "Uncle Niu, take it, I'll go first!" ”
Xia Yao ran so fast that before Uncle Niu could react, he could only see her disappearing around the corner.
Helpless, Uncle Niu could only take a puff of dry smoke.
He can't ask for this money, the villagers, where can he collect the money if he does a favor? Go back and give Lu Jing that kid back!
Xia Yao quickly ran into the supply and marketing cooperative.
Her goal for coming this time was clear, and that was to buy a bike.
The salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperatives looked to be about forty years old, with a long face, and it didn't look easy to mess with, Xia Yao walked in quickly, and shouted sweetly when he saw her: "Sister!" ”
was called sister by such a young person, the salesperson's face looked a lot better, and Xia Yao's whole body except for that face was all attractive and high-quality, especially the watch on Xia Yao's wrist.
Although the salesperson was not enthusiastic, his attitude was much better: "What do you want to buy?" ”
"Sister, do you still have a bicycle?" Xia Yao smiled and pushed the ticket and money to the salesman, she had inquired before she came, and the bicycle in the county was a two-hundred-two.
When the salesperson heard Xia Yao's words, she finally stopped squinting at people, she checked it carefully, and nodded lazily.
"If you're lucky, there's still the last one, if you sell all of them, it's going to be next month."
As she spoke, she was going to pick up Xia Yao's bicycle.
And Xia Yao took advantage of this effort to buy everything that the supply and marketing cooperatives could buy.
Sugar, white flour, polished rice, two pairs of large pig's trotters.
The salespeople watched her spend money like water, and their eyes turned from initial shock to numbness.
Xia Yao looked at the eyes of several people and smiled "shyly": "There are many children at home." ”
This is not only because there are many children, but also because of the family!
And some people who also came to buy goods also changed their eyes after catching a glimpse of the tickets that Xia Yao inadvertently revealed.
Xia Yao happily pushed the bicycle out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and before he walked out of the street, he heard the panting sound behind him.
"This comrade!"
A man with a hurried voice and a big pant blocked Xia Yao's way.
Xia Yao's eyes became vigilant, and the man hurriedly explained his intention: "I saw you have a milk powder ticket just now." ”
He scratched his head, a little uneasy, but still said his thoughts: "Can I buy it with you...... How many milk powder tickets do you exchange? ”
"My family just gave birth to a child, but there is no milk, the child is so hungry that he cries all day, we really can't help it........."
Before the man could finish speaking, several milk powder tickets had already appeared in front of him.
Xia Yao suppressed the fleeting thought in his heart, raised a smile and asked, "How do you want to change?" ”
……
The pigsty can be said to be a place that the entire Qingshui Brigade cares about, and they have to go over from time to time to take a look, lest these golden lumps disappear.
There are even some people who want to see Xia Yao's jokes.
For example, Su Linlin.
Su Linlin cleaned the pigsty and manure every day, and she smelled bad, and when she returned to the dormitory of the educated youth, she was disgusted by others, and she suffered from white eyes every day.
And the only motivation to support her to continue is the money sent by Xia Qingqing, who is far away in the provincial capital of Southern Province, and the second is to watch Xia Yao's jokes.
She has been with Xia Yao for so many years, can she still not know? Xia Yao didn't have any ink in his stomach, and he treated the pig! It's not bad if you don't die! Last time, it must have been a mistake!
After such a thought popped up in my head, I became more and more uncontrollable.
But Su Linlin cleaned the pigsty for three days, and watched these pigs turn from half-dead to alive, and her face drooped.
It's not that she didn't want to do it, but every day there are so many teams of people in the pigsty, and they stare at her as if they are staring at the thief, and they have no way to start!
Su Linlin glanced at the pigs in the pigsty in disgust, and a deep hatred crossed her eyes - even the pigs ate better than her!
At this time, Aunt Osmanthus at the entrance of the village came over with a few old sisters, and was very excited when she saw the pigs living in it.
"The pig is alive! Lived! ”
"Xia Zhiqing really has a hand! I've heard that three generations of her family have been doctors! ”
Aunt Osmanthus lowered her voice, as if it was such a big secret.
But her loud voice had already spread several meters away, not to mention Su Linlin on the side, even Xia Yao, who had just come over, heard it.
Xia Yao's gaze at Aunt Shang Osmanthus was burning, and he immediately spoke: "Auntie, my family is not a third-generation doctor, my family ......"
"Aunt Osmanthus, you don't know yet, do you?" Su Linlin's voice became very loud, not at all like the person who was working cautiously just now.
She stood on the haystack, ignoring even the smell of pig manure around her, looking at Xia Yao, she did not hide her schadenfreude: "Xia Yao is not the daughter of the Xia family!" She's a fake! ”
"The real daughter of the Xia family is still staying in the provincial capital of Southern Province! How could the Xia family bear to let their daughter go to the countryside? ”
Su Linlin said this series of words, her hands on her chest, staring at Xia Yao proudly, hoping to see sadness in Xia Yao's eyes.
But as soon as her eyes swept to Xia Yao, Xia Yao's beautiful and clear peach blossom eyes were full of smiles.
Su Linlin's smug smile stiffened on her face, and she watched Xia Yao turn from a provocative smile to an aggrieved sob: "I...... I am indeed not the daughter of the Xia family, and I don't even know where my biological parents are. ”
Xia Yao rubbed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes becoming red.
Aunt Osmanthus is not as inferior as Cheng Dahua, and when she saw that she mentioned Xia Yao's sadness, she immediately panicked.
Xia Yao didn't do anything wrong, and she was still the one who saved this group of pigs, and she was the great benefactor of their Qingshui Brigade!
"What nonsense! It seems that you can be, right? If you have so much spare time, you might as well sweep up the pig manure quickly! can't stop your mouth! ”
Aunt Osmanthus scolded Su Linlin viciously, and Su Linlin looked at her in disbelief.
However, she didn't even give Su Linlin a superfluous look after scolding, and when she talked to Xia Yao, her voice softened a few degrees.
"Xia Zhiqing, you also know that we are rough people, we are complimenting you for your superb medical skills, but we don't mean to mention your sadness."
Xia Yao lowered his head and nodded "weakly".
"I know." Xia Yao said softly, "Aunt Osmanthus, you are all good people. ”
"I will definitely do my best to raise this batch of pigs." Xia Yao's voice was a little firmer.
Aunt Osmanthus listened to Xia Yao's words and was even more moved: "Don't worry! In the future, if you have any difficulties in the village, come to me! I'll be sure to call the shots for you! You're a noble man in our brigade! ”
Su Linlin saw these shrews snorting to herself, and Xia Yao seemed to be a different person, and her heart became even more unbalanced.
Her face was very ugly, and she wanted to say something when she stared at Xia Yao.
Aunt Osmanthus moved faster than her, and seeing that she was not moving here, she shouted impatiently: "If you are lazy again, I will go and tell the captain!" When the time comes, let him dig a ditch for you, and you won't have time to regret it then! ”
"Aunt Osmanthus, Linlin also went to the countryside with me, although our friendship is no longer there, but ......"
"You stupid girl!" Aunt Osmanthus immediately shouted, "She has wronged you, do you still remember that little feeling?" This person's heart is the most difficult to prevent! You have to watch out for her! ”
"I see that her whole body is full of heart eyes, you better stay away from her!"
After the last incident, Su Linlin's reputation has spread throughout the team.
Su Linlin pinched the bamboo basket, her face was blue and purple, and she opened her mouth and couldn't say anything to refute.
Xia Yao raised his chin and smiled defiantly at her.
In the past, others praised Su Linlin for belittling Xia Yao, but now it is Su Linlin's turn to taste the taste of being belittled.
Feng Shui takes turns, and the faster you turn, the better.
