Chapter 12 Night Market Preparation, Bitter Self-Laughing!
After watching her sister take away the passbook and marriage certificate, slam the door, and leave, Shen Mengyue sat on the sofa with a wry smile again, with a gloomy expression.
His eyes slowly swept over the handfuls of candy scattered randomly on the coffee table, and none of them moved.
Because with just one glance, she knew that Shen Mengxing sent these were the cheapest red-skinned candy on the market, and there was even only one style, and the wholesale price was only a few cents a catty.
You must know that in their small county, even the poorest people will not be like this, at least they will do a few more in the style of candy, how can they be so stingy?
also said that what is the nouveau riche who is about to be demolished, the eruption of the breath Shen Mengyue didn't see it, only saw the scheming calculations!
In advance, he was ashamed to brag about what bride price.
She really hadn't seen it, she didn't take a penny of the bride price, but first instigated the woman to take the dowry first.
It's a shame that my sister really believes it!
It can be seen from this that the ghost fire and yellow hair family attaches importance to or does not pay attention to their unmarried and pregnant daughter-in-law, at a glance!
That's it, it's all her own iron-hearted choice, she has done everything she can, what else can she say?
Respect the blessings!
After all, they are the two families who really have nothing to do with her from now on, and I hope she can really live well in the ghost fire and yellow hair family, but she looks away by herself.
Even at this moment, Shen Mengyue really hoped that she would be slapped in the face, even if her sister really lived better than herself when she got married, it didn't matter, she could save a big trouble.
Otherwise, if she has a bad time and runs back to find herself, it will be a big trouble!
I looked at the suitcase at the door of my bedroom and secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, when my sister came back just now, she only cared about asking for a passbook and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Otherwise, her plan to temporarily move to the construction site to live was really exposed.
Completely abandoning the sisterhood of Shen Mengxing, for a while, she really didn't want this white-eyed wolf sister to know her whereabouts, lest she have something to pester herself if she really had a bad time, she was really annoyed!
Thinking about it, she came back to the suitcase, which still had her parents' marriage certificate on it, and she was going to put it in.
Next to the wedding photo, there is the admission notice of my sister who was admitted to the provincial normal university, which she took out from her parents' bedroom together with the wedding photo.
Because after receiving the admission letter from her sister to the university that day, she cried with joy, she rushed to the bedroom as soon as possible and put it next to her parents' wedding photo, wanting them to witness this joy.
This should have been a happy event for the sisters to celebrate, but now it seems that the happiness of that day, the hard work of three years, seems ridiculous, everything is useless.
However, the moment she saw this admission letter, she still reminded Shen Mengyue of something, and she hurriedly walked into Shen Mengxing's bedroom again.
Pushing the door, I saw that Shen Mengxing's bedroom was a little messier than hers, because the room was full of all kinds of review materials for the third year of high school.
There are two large cardboard boxes piled up in the corner, which are all kinds of textbooks from the first to the second year of high school.
Because of her influence, my sister also chose science at the beginning, so she can also use her textbook materials.
Including the desk, in addition to various textbooks, there is also a large stack of various mock test papers that have been completed.
Looking at the large pile of test papers, with her sister Juanxiu's handwriting written on them, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness again.
Originally, Shen Mengxing really had the opportunity to change her fate by studying, and she had already been admitted to university.
It can be said that one foot has stepped into the threshold of the university campus, but she retreated and chose to give up, what can she say?
It's good, it's cheaper!
She thought of what Manager Wang Li reminded her, she hadn't been back to school for three years, and most of the high school knowledge she had learned had forgotten.
Therefore, in the remaining month of the summer vacation, in addition to working hard to set up a stall to earn tuition, she should also review it independently in advance, so as not to fall too far behind and not be able to keep up with the progress of other students when the school really starts.
She has all the books and materials for the first and second years of high school, and what she lacks is the most important one in the third year of high school.
Because the third year of high school had not yet started, she suffered a change in her parents and took a leave of absence to work.
Fortunately, she didn't, Shen Mengxing had it here, she didn't want it anyway, and it was nothing to use it herself.
I also saved a lot of money to buy materials and various exercise books.
What's more, these materials and test papers also have the problem-solving ideas and notes that Shen Mengxing recorded intently when he was studying.
Although she couldn't figure it out in the end and didn't go to college to marry that ghost and yellow hair, she was also admitted to college after all, and her grades were not bad.
So the notes she recorded can also benefit her a lot, and it can be regarded as helping her in the end, which can make her get started faster.
Therefore, she picked out the general review materials about the third year of high school left by Shen Mengxing, as well as various mock test papers, and prepared to move to the dormitory on the other side of the construction site.
This next suitcase was not enough, so she had to find another cardboard box, put all the books and materials into the cardboard box, and sealed it with duct tape.
He pulled out the lever of the suitcase and tied it to the front of the suitcase for easy transport.
In the end, after cleaning up thoroughly, she also dragged the heavy suitcase to the door, and then, after one last glance at the house, she casually threw Shen Mengxing's admission letter on the coffee table, and dragged the suitcase downstairs to the construction site.
Because it was already past four o'clock, the workers on the construction site, including the nearby residents, were about to get off work, so she had to hurry over and get the ingredients to set up a stall at the night market.
After all, when there is little traffic at noon, she can earn more than 200 by setting up a stall, not to mention the big night when there is a lot of traffic.
Night MarketNight Market, as the name suggests, is the real home market at night!
So after going downstairs, looking at the big lump of review materials tied to the suitcase, it was extremely heavy, and she didn't know how long it would take to drag it over, so Shen Mengyue had to grit her teeth and spend money to call a tricycle, move the suitcase to it, and carry herself over.
This is also a feature of their small city, where there are two modes of transport: taxis and rickshaws, but they are cheaper than taxis.
Taxis start at four yuan, while rickshaws cost only two yuan, and they can also help you remove your belongings by the way, which is very cost-effective.
Sitting on a rickshaw, it only took about 20 minutes, Shen Mengyue returned to the construction site, and after hurriedly paying, she dragged her heavy suitcase and went straight to the construction site dormitory sponsored by Manager Wang Li.
I didn't have time to rest, and seeing that it was almost five o'clock, I put my suitcase into the dormitory at will, and then rushed to the canteen of the construction site where the small cart was parked, ready to go out of the stall.
When she came to the cafeteria, she smelled the smell of food coming from inside, and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li in the canteen were already busy and began to prepare dinner for the workers.
That's right, Shen Mengyue also has a small canteen at their construction site, and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li are in charge of running it.
However, although it is a cafeteria, because it is a big pot of rice, the taste is not unpalatable, but it is by no means delicious, just average.
And it also costs money, but it's relatively cheaper.
Therefore, some workers who are willing to spend money on themselves will make an appointment to go to the night market outside every once in a while to eat and improve their food.
In particular, the canteen only provides breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is no supper or anything.
In this era, there are not many entertainment activities, so when eight or nine o'clock in the evening, groups of three or five make an appointment to go to the night market to eat some supper and drink some night beer, which has become the main pastime for many people, especially in the long summer.
This is the main reason why their night market is so popular!
After coming here, the lock that locked the wheels was opened, and Shen Mengyue was glad again.
Fortunately, before she went home to move her things, she had prepared the dishes to be sold at the stall at night, and at this moment, she just pushed the small cart out, which was not too troublesome, and it was much easier.
Then, when he pushed the cart to the small board room in the canteen, he didn't leave in a hurry, but stopped slightly, came to the canteen, smiled at Uncle Zhang, who was copying the big pot of dishes, and said hello.
After all, if you borrow someone's place to park, you can't just say hello, right?
Said with a smile.
"Uncle Zhang, I didn't see you and Aunt Li at noon, so I took it upon myself to park the car behind the cafeteria first, didn't delay you anything?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dehai, who was lowering his head and dancing with both hands like a big shovel to fry vegetables in the cauldron, hurriedly raised his head, and shook his head honestly while flipping hard.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can stop it, didn't you say it before, if it's not in the way, don't worry, with me and my wife to show you, nothing will happen to you!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Mengyue, who was about to push the cart out of the stall, and hurriedly instructed.
"By the way, you will come over after the stall is closed, or eat here, and we will leave you a meal."
"After all, the time you set up your stall is all for dinner, and you definitely don't have time to eat well when you're busy, although you sell fried skewers, but that thing can't be eaten as a meal, eating too much is not good for your health, do you hear?"
Shen Mengyue just wanted to refuse politely, it was late at night when she set up her stall, so she was embarrassed to trouble these two people to wait for him and leave him food.
can hear the conversation between the two of them, and Aunt Li, who was sorting out the vegetables behind the curtain, also hurriedly walked out with a cabbage in her hand and said with a smile.
"It's Satsuki, right?"
"Your Uncle Zhang is right, you will still come to us to eat when the stall is closed in the evening, and we will leave you a meal."
"Don't feel embarrassed, anyway, we can't sleep so early in this summer, we have to take advantage of the cool, and we don't rest until eighty or ninety o'clock, just when you close the stall, so come here, you want to take the university entrance examination, how can you not eat well?"
"Obedient, remember?"
Hearing the two of them tell her so earnestly, the two faces full of sincerity were full of smiles, and in the end, Shen Mengyue couldn't bear to brush off the kindness of the two, so she had to swallow the words she wanted to refuse, and nodded with a smile.
"Huh!"
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Li, then I'll listen to you, I'll come to you to eat after collecting the stall, just don't bother me."
"You kid, what do you say? We still wish you came over, there are many people, lively! ”
"Hehe, that's good, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Li, then I'll go out of the stall, see you in the evening."
"Eh, see you at night, pay attention to safety, if there is anything, go directly to the construction site to find you Uncle Zhang!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand gratefully to the two uncles and aunts, and Shen Mengyue pushed the cart again and rushed to the outside of the construction site.
It was a secret thought that since the first day she entered the construction site to do small work, her uncle and aunt knew about her.
After all, it is indeed quite conspicuous that such a little girl suddenly came to the construction site to do a small job, and it is difficult not to attract attention.
He took care of her a lot, often kept her to eat like this, opened a small stove for her, and cared about her as if she were his own child.
Two days ago, after knowing that she quit from the construction site and was going back to study, she was even happier and expressed her support as soon as possible.
When they learned that she was going to set up a stall outside the construction site to sell fried skewers to earn tuition, she was the first to find her and told her that she could park the cart behind their canteen.
This is also the main reason why Shen Mengyue pushed the car directly to the back of the canteen at the construction site after closing the stall at noon today, because she had agreed with her uncle and aunt.
Now that she was told so earnestly, Shen Mengyue knew that this was already an indescribable kindness.
If she really shirked it again and again because of a mouthful of food, it would seem that she was hypocritical.
Also, fortunately, it's summer, it's only a month, she will live in the school dormitory after the start of school, this season is hot in summer, everyone won't sleep too late, it's nothing to trouble Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li, if it's winter, she can't bear to toss the two uncles and aunts who are already in their fifties.
After pushing the car back to the fixed place where she set up her stall at noon, Shen Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she took out all kinds of things on the small cart, her small cart is very large, it is similar to the kind of small cart that sells cold vegetables commonly on the street, divided into two layers, the upper floor is for all kinds of dishes, and the lower floor is the storage space.
In the storage space, there were four small folding tables and a dozen small folding stools, all of which she had taken out at the moment and placed them around her small cart in turn, so that those who had ordered a bunch of fried skewers in the evening could sit and eat.
That's right, those of them who set up stalls in the night market have a fixed location.
It is necessary to pay a market management fee to the market party, and then the market party will assign them to an area, which can only be placed in this area, and cannot be placed at will.
Otherwise, it is easy to cause traffic jams and chaos.
Because Shen Mengyue's market management fee has already been paid by his master, the area of more than a dozen square meters near her small cart belongs to her, and she can set up some tables and benches.
Then, after setting up the stall, she saw the beer delivery cart coming, and she asked for ten more beers and put them next to her small cart so that people who ate and drank beer at night could buy them.
Because these beers are not sold to customers alone, but exclusively to them who set up stalls in the night market, and then they distribute them to customers who eat supper in a scattered manner, and they come at this point almost every day, which is considered to be delivered to them.
Naturally, it is one price to sell to them, and another price for them to sell to customers, and it is also a good profit.
According to her master before handing over the stall to her, he used to sell at least a dozen or twenty beers every night when he ran the night market.
After all, Shen Mengyue was on the first day, and she was a little uncertain, and she was not sure that she could reach the height of her master, so she cautiously only entered ten pieces.
I think it's best to sell out, but if I can't sell out, it's a big deal to put it on a small cart and push it back, and sell it tomorrow.
When everything was ready, she also started to boil the oil.
It is to burn oil while waiting for the evening customers to come to the door.
At the same time, I couldn't help but recall Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li's earnest instructions to her in front of the construction site canteen just now, as well as the kind smiles of the two.
There is something wrong with my heart.
Because since her parents died in an accident, almost all the strangers she met were trying to help her.
Whether it is her parents' former co-workers, or Manager Wang Li, Teacher Liu and Teacher Zhao, including Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li, and even many well-wishers who she can't remember, these people are helping her regardless of returns.
But this is the only thing that this is Shen Mengxing, who grew up with her since she was a child, and even her sister Shen Mengxing, who did not hesitate to give up a bright future for her, but she has no gratitude and love for her family.
Tired and tired, she said that she took a break from school to work for three years, but the result was that the sisters turned against each other, and in the end they were not as good as a group of strangers, which also made her quite self-deprecating.
In this life, will you succeed or fail?
Sure enough, in this world, some people are really willing to give tenderness and kindness to outsiders, and also aim the knife at their dearest!
She didn't believe it before, but now she does!
