Chapter 27: Cousin and Sister-in-law
"Where did Lu Jing go?"
Xia Yao asked this sentence coldly, Lu Tiantian's round apricot eyes widened, revealing a blankness, while Lu Changbai's eyes, which were quite similar to Lu Jing, were floating around, but he refused to speak.
Seeing this, Xia Yao clasped his hands around his chest and stared at Lu Changbai: "Who stood up for you a few days ago?" Who helped you scare the donkey eggs out of the ass? ”
It's not Tian donkey's eggs, but the Tian family.
But in Xia Yao's view, dealing with an irresponsible parent like Tian Dashan is dealing with Tian Donkey, a bear child.
And the guilty look on Lu Changbai's face showed that he and Xia Yao had the same thoughts.
As a result, the look of guilt on his face deepened.
"I ......," Lu Changbai lowered his head, "Second Uncle said that you can't tell anyone about it." ”
Xia Yao patted Lu Changbai's head and said helplessly: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't compare to you." ”
Speaking of this, Xia Yao sighed and walked outside.
Lu Changbai looked at her back, a little worried, but like Lu Tiantian, even if he longed to be close to Xia Yao, he didn't dare to express his emotions directly.
Xia Yao saw the two of them squatting by the door, and waved his hand with his back to the two: "Stay at home and don't run around, if you have something, go to Aunt Osmanthus and the captain, and come back to bring you two good food." ”
As soon as Lu Tiantian heard that there was something delicious, she sniffed, her eyes full of longing.
"Will it be meat?"
Yesterday, Xia Yao's stewed pig's trotters, even Lu Tiantian, who had a mouthful of baby teeth, couldn't help but be tempted to hold half a piece of pig's trotters and gnaw for half an hour.
Lu Changbai thought for a while, and quickly shook his head: "It's definitely not meat, meat is so expensive, it's good if we can eat it a few times." ”
"Auntie is so pitiful." Lu Tiantian suddenly spoke, "In the past, we didn't call our aunt when we ate meat. ”
Lu Changbai scratched his head, even more guilty, he lowered his head and said hesitantly: "But the second uncle said, it is a secret that only the three of us can know, if it is known by others, my parents may never be able to come out again." ”
Lu Tiantian didn't understand these things, she sucked her fingers and said vaguely: "Then I won't eat the meat brought back by the second uncle, and I will share it with my aunt." ”
Lu Changbai clenched his fists, a small man, but the expression on his face was very firm: "Mine is also for Auntie!" ”
Riding a bicycle on the potholed road, Xia Yao hummed a song, and finally didn't have to squeeze the ox cart to go to the county seat.
Calculating the time, her letter to Aunt Xu should also arrive.
Aunt Xu and Mother Xia are old acquaintances, the two have been comparing since childhood, and no one can see that the other party is better than herself, and because of the engagement between the original owner and Xu Chenghai, Aunt Xu felt that she was trampled under the feet of Mother Xia, and she didn't have a good face after seeing Mother Xia for several months, and she gave her the opportunity, as long as she was not stupid, she would definitely grasp it firmly, and she would definitely make a big deal about it.
It's a pity that she can't see the faces of that family with her own eyes.
Suddenly, Xia Yao tightened the brakes, and he couldn't stop looking towards the mountains.
If she hadn't been dazzled, that person was Lu Jing just now?
This thought came to my heart, and I couldn't go away anymore.
Xia Yao's eyes rolled and he decided to continue to act according to the plan.
Looking at the direction of Lu Jing, it is also like going to the county seat.
What did he do in the county seat?
Xia Yao rolled his eyes and patted his head.
How did she forget!
At this time, buying and selling can be regarded as speculation, but as the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market, and there is a black market in the county!
Xia Yao suppressed the excitement in his heart and rode his bicycle to the county seat quickly.
She has a lot of tickets snatched from traffickers in her hand, such as some watch tickets, sewing tickets and other things that are not needed at all and are conspicuous, so it is better to take advantage of this time to vacate them.
As for the black market......
Xia Yao stabilized his mind, it was better to cooperate with Lu Jing as soon as possible.
At that time, she will definitely be able to make a lot of money in it, not to mention much, at least so that she can live without relying on the Xia family when she returns to the city in five years.
Lu Jing had already discovered Xia Yao, the person who was wrapped in what looked like a zongzi would never do this except Xia Yao.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Soulless? ”
Beside Lu Jing, Chen Zhou, who was half a head shorter than Lu Jing, hurriedly glanced behind him several times, but he didn't see a single figure.
He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, okay...... OK! He almost thought it was over!
Chen Zhou is a member of the Shangyang Brigade, but he is no better than Lu Jing, his ancestors are poor peasants for eighteen generations, count forward, everyone is so poor that they are tinkling, Chen Zhou is lazy, and he only starves to the level of starvation in the Shangyang Brigade.
Fortunately, he got the true legend of his grandfather's hunting, occasionally went up the mountain to mix some meat and beat tooth sacrifices, and occasionally met Lu Jing, and his impression of Lu Jing was good.
After all, in the entire commune, there are many people who have received favors from the Lu family, and his family is one of them.
After going back and forth, he was also familiar with Lu Jing, and Chen Zhou came up with the job of going to the black market to do business, he knew that Lu Jing's identity was sensitive, and every time he went to the black market, he went alone, just for fear of harming Lu Jing.
But I don't know which tendon Lu Jing made a mistake this time, so I have to come to the black market with him.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught and reformed?" Chen Zhou was worried, "You still have two children at home who are waiting to be fed!" ”
"Don't worry." Lu Jing shook his head, "I'm just going to take a look." ”
What Xia Yao said that day, there were a few sentences that made Lu Jing toss and turn, and he couldn't sleep all night.
My brother and sister-in-law went to the farm together, I don't know what year and month it will take to come out, the two children are still young, and with his work, plus going to the farm to do some work, there is not much left.
Dabao and Xiaobao are all good children, and they have never tasted a little sweetness since they were young.
In order to give his family a better life, he suddenly thought of the black market that he avoided.
In the previous few collaborations with Chen Zhou, he would not go to the black market, with Chen Zhou's ingredients, even if he was caught, he would at most criticize a few words, but when he was caught, the nature was different.
But this time, he decided to go to the black market to have a look.
Chen Zhou saw that Lu Jing was silent and scratched his head.
As a person who talks a lot and is secretive, Chen Zhou couldn't stand such a silent atmosphere, he patted his chest and assured Lu Jing: "Don't worry, even if we are unlucky enough to be caught, I will keep you!" ”
He had a good impression of Lu Jing, when he hunted before, he basically caught some pheasants and hares, at most he made a tooth sacrifice for himself, but it was different with Lu Jing joining.
I don't know where Lu Jing, a young master from a wealthy landlord's family, got so much ability, and he can even tell where the wild boar is by looking at a few pieces of dung.
Relying on this wild boar, he divided sixty-five pieces!
Thinking of the harvest with Lu Jing this time, Chen Zhou rubbed his hands: "Let's hurry up!" I don't know what to gain this time! I've made an appointment with the old man in the city! If it's still a wild boar, he'll give us this number! ”
Speaking of the pig, Chen Zhou pushed Lu Jing's arm again: "I heard that your daughter-in-law has good medical skills?" And healed the six pigs in your village? ”
"Good boy! Why didn't I know that your lazy daughter-in-law still had this ability? Why didn't she say it before? ”
When Lu Jing heard this, a sneering light crossed his phoenix eyes.
However, he has already learned to control his emotions, even if he dislikes Xia Yao in his heart, he will not show it in front of others.
Chen Zhou was still sighing with emotion: "Speaking of which, your daughter-in-law is also weird, wasn't she originally reluctant to go out to meet people because of the red bumps on her face?" Why did you change sex again at this time? ”
Listening to it, Lu Jing's eyes couldn't help but pass over the pair of tearful peach blossom eyes he saw that night.
Maybe it was from that day that she knew the true face of her parents that she would have such a big change.
But Lu Jing's heart crossed this guess and immediately put it behind.
He and Xia Yao are not fellow travelers, so why pay too much attention to Xia Yao.
"It's almost there." Lu Jing's voice sank and he reminded, "Be careful, once there is prey, their blood will attract other beasts. ”
When Chen Zhou heard this, he nodded quickly, and even his breathing eased.
County.
Xia Yao came to a family compound.
She wore a mask and a hat, and showed a pair of eyes, and as soon as she arrived at the gate of the compound, she attracted the attention of the old man at the door.
"What are you doing here?" The old man's eyes widened, like a searchlight, looking at Xia Yao's body.
Xia Yao was stopped, which also attracted the attention of passers-by.
She immediately walked up to the uncle and took off her mask.
At this time, Xia Yao's face was flushed because she was pedaling the bicycle too hard, and the red bumps on her face became more conspicuous.
"Wow!" The uncle was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Xia Yao forcibly squeezed out a few tears: "Uncle, I didn't mean to be like this, I ...... I have so many things on my face that I'm afraid of being ridiculed. ”
The uncle waved his hand: "Okay, okay, but girl, you have to tell me what you are here for, we are a family home, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." ”
Xia Yao immediately took off the basket on the bicycle and lifted the corner of the red cloth on it: "Uncle, I am the cousin of Engineer Tang in the countryside on the third floor of the second building. ”
"I heard that my cousin-in-law gave birth to a child, and my family specially asked me to fill eggs and an old hen and send them over to my cousin-in-law to replenish her body."
The uncle looked at Xia Yao's basket full of eggs in this bamboo basket, as well as the woven bag in the back seat, and couldn't help but swallow.
In these days, who in ordinary people will eat less?
And eggs, ordinary people who live in the city can't eat them often, it's better to be in the countryside, have their own land, and raise a few chickens.
Xia Yao hurriedly waved his hand, and said in a loud voice with a long-practiced accent: "Where, it's better to be in your city, you don't have to earn work and receive wages!" ”
Alas!
The uncle sighed, waved his hand and let Xia Yao in.
Xia Yao was carrying something in his hand, and there were things hanging on the bicycle, and he attracted a lot of attention along the way, if someone asked, without exception, Xia Yao said that he was here to send something to his cousin and sister-in-law.
