When Ji Yang returned home, Ye Jiao was also returning. She took off her bamboo hat and was going to wash her hands.
He took a spoonful of water, washed his hands and asked, "How much food did you change?"
There is no rice at home today, so I just count on these grains to survive.
"I changed some rice and corn flour." Ji Yang squatted down and took out the cloth bag from the bamboo basket.
"It's pretty good." Ye Jiao was very satisfied, and mixed some coarse grains, which was enough for them to last for half a month.
"I also bought three eggs." Ji Yang said.
"Eggs?" Ye Jiao frowned, her voice raised, "We have nothing to eat, what eggs should we buy?"
An egg can be exchanged for a few days of rice. This is the only thing they can exchange for food. Is he going to piss her off
"I haven't eaten for a long time." Ji Yang gently put the egg on the ground, and said, "I almost forgot the taste of eggs."
Ye Jiao originally wanted to scold him, and then asked him to take the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative for some food, but seeing him like this couldn't bear it anymore.
Ji's chicken family raised several chickens, which could lay five or six eggs every day. In the past, Zhang Yan always left one for him to cook and eat.
"The stall is going to be closed, so I bought three for 15 cents, and the eggs are bigger, so it's a good deal," Ji Yang said.
What is big
What Ye Jiao thought was that since she bought it for 15 cents, she might be able to sell it for 20 cents or more tomorrow, so that she could buy more coarse grains and eat for a few more days.
Eggs are gone.
"Then forget it this time, don't buy it next time, we don't have money to eat eggs." Ye Jiao sighed and argued with him, then leaned over, "What else do you have in it?"
"Four and a half catties of mung beans, less than sixty cents a catty, cheap, right?" Ji Yang said with some complacency, and opened the bag.
When Ye Jiao saw it, her first reaction was that it was cheap, and the luster was full, but she realized it in the next second, and widened her eyes, "Where did you get the money to buy it?"
The money from selling the bamboo baskets is only enough to buy food, and it is not easy to buy three eggs.
"Sell the honey."
"What?!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jiao's entire face turned pale.
"I left some for you." Ji Yang added.
"You are speculating, you are engaging in capitalism, you are taking the capitalist road, you are committing a crime, don't you die?" Ye Jiao only felt his head buzzing and hurting, and his whole body was cold.
She is one of the timid types who thinks fame is important.
"It's all sold out, and besides, it's all sold in the town now, how can we get enough food from the distribution? There are vegetables and rice sold everywhere on the street, and people can't starve to death by relying on the supply and marketing cooperative?" Ji Yang didn't think so, " How many days does it take to weave a bamboo basket? We don’t have the strength to work until Xia sends out the food.”
Ye Jiao struggled with her eyes, looked at the bag on the ground again, and said after a while, "No matter how cheap mung beans are, what do you buy them for? You want to buy grain."
It is impossible for Ji's family to lend them food. Last year's harvest was not good, and every family was struggling. Compared with their lives, these are really not important.
"I want to soak bean sprouts and carry them to the town to sell." Ji Yang replied.
"No, what if we get caught?" Ye Jiao vetoed, "Let's go to work, and..."
"Why not? Who will catch them? Those stinky boys on patrol are just little kids, and they will scare people. Two years ago, I saw the old man selling eggs on the street in the black market. He is still here today, so I don't necessarily know anything about it." What’s more, they don’t run as fast as me.” Ji Yang raised his eyebrows as he spoke, “I’ve observed that no one sells bean sprouts, this stuff grows fast, it can be sold once in four or five days, and the money comes in quickly .”
Hearing this, Ye Jiao was a little moved.
"Also, these are books for you, take them here." Ji Yang took out a stack of books and put them in her arms.
Ye Jiao caught it subconsciously, looked at the cover of the book, and her body stiffened in surprise, "This..."
"Of course I won't lie to you when I said I would buy it for you. I heard that the college entrance examination may be resumed next year in the town today. Don't you want to go to school? You can prepare." He said with an arc of thin lips, a little clever look like.
"Really?" The ecstasy in Ye Jiao's heart was unspeakable, and the next second seemed to be poured by cold water, her expression was dim, "Forget it, I won't go."
It will be next year, she has some traditional thinking, she is already married and has a family, and it is impossible to go out again.
"Why don't you go?" Ji Yang frowned.
"I don't want to." She hugged the book and said with lowered eyes, "Thank you."
"Didn't you say that you want to be a doctor? You can go to study medicine after passing the entrance examination. How glorious is it to be a doctor in the future?" He asked puzzled.
"Do you still remember?" Ye Jiao looked at him, with a slight smile on his lips, a bit bitter and relieved.
"Of course I remember, I'll let you go if you pass the exam, and study for as long as you want." He uttered wild words.
Ye Jiao smiled directly, "Okay, it's time to cook."
She's already married to him, husband and son is her future life, how can Ji Yang provide for her
Everything is so unrealistic, but when he said that, he was still very happy to hear it.
"You read the book carefully." Ji Yang didn't say much, took the mung beans aside, and started to make arrangements.
"Do you know how to soak?" Ye Jiao put the book away, came out and saw him washing mung beans, and asked.
"Just remember to change the water. I'll try it first." Ji Yang poured out half of the mung beans, washed them and soaked them, and put them aside, "Let them soak until night."
Ye Jiao didn't understand either, and nodded half-knowingly. Anyway, he was just trying, and she couldn't dampen his enthusiasm.
The two had dinner and went to work in the afternoon.
The production team allocated a field for each household to cultivate rice seedlings, and the work points were counted as per household.
Ji Yang started plowing the land in the afternoon, and Ye Jiao went to get the seedlings. She was small, and after two trips she was too tired and dizzy.
"Go and sit there, don't get sick." Ji Yang pointed to a shady field, and continued to cultivate the land.
Ye Jiao was really afraid that she would faint, and when she stood up, her eyes would be dark, so she sat down slowly while holding her breath.
She knew that she was malnourished and a little hypoglycemic. In addition, she had been very depressed some time ago, and her body was getting worse and worse.
Something went wrong after just sitting down. In the evening, the two of them were walking back from work. On the way, they met Zhang Yan. They didn't know who was talking behind their backs. The other party had a dark face and scolded Ye Jiao, "I don't know how to work." , I only know how to be lazy, whoever marries you is really unlucky!"
The tone was very harsh.
"Mom." Ji Yang frowned, his tone displeased.
"What? What did Mom say wrong? Look at her, how much meat is on her body? There are many things, and she hides aside to rest when you go to work." When Zhang Yan looked at him, her eyes were very distressed, "If you Listen to what mother said, when I went to that second girl..."
"Then let's move back and live, so you can watch too." Ji Yang said casually.
Hearing this, Ye Jiao's heart skipped a beat.
She was often ridiculed by Zhang Yan and Sun Miaolan in the past. If she didn't go to work, she would not dare to have a full meal, let alone sleep soundly.
So at the beginning of the separation, even though she knew that Ji Yang could not take care of a family for the time being, she agreed, for fear that she would be depressed and become insane.
No matter how hard it is, she doesn't want to go back.
As soon as Zhang Yan heard it, her face changed, and she said earnestly, "Yoko, you are married, and my mother can no longer take care of you. Your daughter-in-law will take care of you."
"Since we can't move back, we can do whatever we want, so don't talk too much, Mom." Ji Yang restrained his expression.
"That won't work. You have to take good care of the men in your family when you get married. Your wife is lazy. There is no woman like her in the whole village! People in the city just can't marry!" Speaking of Ye Jiao, she was very dissatisfied, her tone full of dislike.
Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been very delicate, especially in the countryside. The mother-in-law always wanted to outdo the daughter-in-law. When she was young, she was bullied in various ways, and there was a filial piety suppression. The daughter-in-law could only swallow her anger and gave birth to a child. , try to handle Zhang Yan.
There are some daughters-in-law who hold grudges, and when their mother-in-law is old, they will make things difficult behind their backs. Anyway, it is an endless war.
A new daughter-in-law like Ye Jiao could only endure the scolding with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she lowered her head, embarrassed and injustice.
"Then there is no woman in the village as beautiful as my wife." Ji Yang said with a little pride, and then said, "She has to hurry back to cook and wash clothes, Mom, have you cooked yet? How about we go back Have a meal?"
"How can I have time to cook? Mom still has to go to the fields, pull weeds and water." Zhang Yan pretended to be in a hurry and left.
Ji Yang looked at her back, then at Ye Jiao, "Let's go, let's go home."
Along the way, neither of them spoke. After returning home, Ye Jiao went to cook while Ji Yang boiled water.
During the period, she went out for a while, walked to the side of the house, squatted down and picked up a lot of wild vegetables, which are dark green and lush, and they are all around the house. It is said that they can replenish blood. Delicious fried with eggs.
When eating, she put fried eggs in front of him. One egg and a lot of wild vegetables can be fried into a small bowl, exuding a tempting aroma.
"Don't worry about Mom's words." Ji Yang said to her while serving the meal.
"Don't worry about it." She took a sip of food, her tone was very light.
It is said that when a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, if she marries in and lives together, outsiders who intervene must be disliked in various ways. In comparison, her current life makes her feel more comfortable.
"Just don't worry about it." Ji Yang took an egg for her, seemed relieved, and said with a smile, "I'll catch fish for you to eat tomorrow."
"Eat it, I don't eat eggs." Ye Jiao said, wanting to take it back for him.
"If you do this again, don't quit work. What if you pass out in the field?" Ji Yang stopped her, "I don't need you to take care of me. I told you before I married you that I will take care of you."
What he said made Ye Jiao pause, as if returning to those nights, she hid behind the big tree and wept, and he appeared behind her, clumsy and funny.
"If you don't want to go to work, you don't go. If you want to read, you can read. If you want to go to school, you can go to school. I will buy you whatever you want." He said seriously.
Ye Jiao looked around, inexplicably feeling funny and a little lonely, "Look, the walls are all black, there are only two benches big enough for us to sit on, and the kitchen doesn't even have a door. Will it fall down when the wind is too strong? What do you take?" For me to study? Buy me food?"
"Buy bean sprouts to feed you." Ji Yang said without hesitation.
Ye Jiao was biting the egg, and when he heard him say that, he was suddenly amused, and saw his serious face, the egg in his mouth was a little fragrant, "We'll talk about it when you can soak the bean sprouts."
"Sure." Ji Yang promised.
after dinner.
Ji Yang continued to toss, the mung beans had been soaked for several hours, and they were already a little cracked. He poured out the water, put the mung beans on the prepared towel, and then moved them into the small bamboo basket, and slowly covered them again. Layer towels.
"It needs to be watered every three or four hours, otherwise it will rot if it gets hot, and it can be sold in four or five days, and we can eat it by ourselves in three days." Ji Yang looked at her and said.
"Can it grow?" Ye Jiao wondered.
"You can see it tomorrow. I'll fetch water first." He said, picked up the pole and iron bucket and went out.
Ye Jiao knelt down and looked at it for a while, she really hoped it would grow out, whether it would be sold or not was another matter, she could eat it.
After all, bean sprouts are also very expensive, and she hasn't eaten them for a long, long time.
the next day.
When Ye Jiao got up, Ji Yang was already watering his bean sprouts, with a serious expression and high interest.
She also leaned over to look, and the mung beans had begun to sprout three to four centimeters of sprouts, densely packed.
"Continue to change the water, daughter-in-law, remember to water it, I'm going to go to the mountains after work." Ji Yang said and showed her how to water it.
"Don't dig out the honeycomb, it's dangerous!" Ye Jiao frowned, emphasizing her tone.
"Don't dig out the honeycomb, go fishing with earthworms, and cook fish soup when you come back at night. I haven't eaten meat for a long time." He said with a bit of greed.
Ye Jiao: "..."
Didn't you just eat it a few days ago
She could only follow him, and today they went to work together again, and Ji Yang took on the heavy work, so she was much more relaxed.
Think about it, in this case, their family can get a lot of food in the summer harvest, which is already very satisfying.
When she came back at night, the bean sprouts grew again, so she hurriedly fetched water to water it. There were two catties of mung beans in it, which was very valuable.
After repeated watering several times, the hot bean sprouts cooled down again, and she dared to do housework.
It was getting dark gradually, and Ji Yang came back.
Ye Jiao looked at him expectantly, the fish soup that day was delicious, not only he was greedy, but she was too.
During the half-month stay at Ji's house, Zhang Yan was always on guard against her, and Sun Miaolan was narrow-minded, and she often ate cold wild vegetables and porridge. She became thinner and thinner, and she had nothing to eat after the separation.
"The fish over there is too fat." Ji Yang wanted to juggle and pour out the fish wrapped in big leaves from the bamboo basket.
"So much?" Ye Jiao gasped.
Five or six.
"As soon as the earthworms were put down, they came to bite right away, very quickly." Ji Yang said with a few clicks of his tongue, "I have to keep them and eat them slowly. I'm going to wash that water tank."
There is an unused water tank in the corner of the old house, half a meter high.
"Okay." Ye Jiao hurriedly fetched water with a basin, trying to pick up the fish into the water so as not to die.
She approached the fish cautiously, and slowly stretched out her hand to catch them. Seeing that they were about to go into the basin, the fish that had not moved at all began to churn.
Ye Jiao suddenly let go, and the fish jumped to the corner of the wall. She was a little stunned but tried not to be afraid.
That look is a bit cute.
Ji Yang turned his head and laughed out loud. Seeing her blushing slightly, he walked over and grabbed one with each hand, and threw it directly into the basin.
The fish began to writhe and swim in the basin again, and he added two spoonfuls of water.
Seeing the lively fish, Ye Jiao felt troubled, and looked at Ji Yang who was washing the water tank, hesitant to speak.
She... doesn't kill live fish.
However, Ji Yang seemed to know what she was thinking, and said behind her back, "Go wash the vegetables first, I will kill this after washing."
Ye Jiao couldn't wait for it, she smiled slowly, turned around and walked to the kitchen.
After a while, Ji Yang started to kill fish outside, and even picked a fat crucian carp, and dealt with it in two or three strokes.
While scooping out the water for washing, continue to shave the fish scales, one knife on the left and the right to deal with the gills, and then continue to scoop two spoonfuls of water, and a clean fish will be processed.
Ye Jiao took it, looked at the basin of water, and warned, "Take this and dump it in the grass behind, it's too fishy."
Ji Yang nodded, and walked out with the basin in his hand.
While eating, Ye Jiao thought about how many fish were still in the water tank, and asked, "Do you want to send some to your parents?"
In fact, just asking casually, Ji Yang may have feelings for his parents, but she doesn't.
"No, sister-in-law will report me." He refused flatly.
Ye Jiao was glad that he was clear about it. Sun Miaolan was really not a cheap lamp, so she probably wouldn't be grateful to them.
"Mom only cares about his grandson now, and it's none of my business." Ji Yang urged her, "Eat more."
Ye Jiao knew that he thought he was angry, and she was afraid that she would not be able to accept being ignored by her parents for a while, so she said after some consideration, "Don't blame your parents too much, maybe they also have difficulties."
"Their difficulty is that they have the next incense, and it hurts to change someone." Ji Yang's tone was neither salty nor weak.
Ye Jiao was embarrassed.
He knows better than her.
"When we separated, we didn't want anything. We gave them all the money and food from our parents. They also lived in the new tile-roofed house. We should also support them. We sent some money during the holidays. We made it very clear at that time."
"Yeah." Ye Jiao didn't think about it, but she was afraid that he would say that she was not filial. In the countryside, this would be ridiculed and discussed.
Now that Ji Yang said so, she felt relieved.
Life is going on as usual, the difference is that Ji Yang has to go to the deep mountains every day when he comes back from work.
Every time I can get a few fish back.
The small water tank was full of fish, she couldn't help it, and said, "Don't catch them, we can't finish them, they will starve to death."
When she said this, Ye Jiao felt that they were really bloated. In the past, they could only eat meat during Chinese New Year, but now they can eat fish every day.
That is tender and delicate fish meat, others may not be able to eat it once a year.
"I can't die of hunger." Ji Yang was looking at his bean sprouts. After four days, two catties of mung beans had sprouted. They were watered frequently and growing very well. They had already grown about ten centimeters, and they could be sold tomorrow.
"I can't finish eating so much." Ye Jiao felt that he wasn't listening to her, so she walked towards him and looked at so many bean sprouts, feeling worried again, "I'm afraid it weighs more than ten catties?"
"Bring the pot, fry a plate today and try the taste first." Ji Yang said that he was already picking out edible bean sprouts, and Ye Jiao went back and gave him the pot.
While picking it up, Ji Yang said, "It will be longer tonight, and tomorrow I will sell the fish and bean sprouts."
"Can this work? It's against the law." Ye Jiao looked worried. Even though he said it, she was still worried.
"No one will check the black market. If it is sold, we will buy three chickens and raise them." Ji Yang slowly induced.
Ye Jiao really hesitated.
They don't have chickens to lay eggs, and they don't have money or food stamps. They seem to be really desperate, and they don't know how much they can sell
"I'll soak the remaining half of the mung beans in a while. When you get up tomorrow, pour out the water, cover it with a towel, and sell it in a few days." Ji Yang reminded, and he was relieved after speaking, "It's okay. I'll leave tomorrow before dawn. The bean sprouts will be covered with leaves. Who knows me when I leave the village?"
Ye Jiao was gradually persuaded by him, and said, "Then, the two of us will take care of the accident together."
"What could happen? The door is locked when you go to work." Ji Yang handed her the basin, "Wash it and then fry it. I'll go get some dried chilies."
In the evening, a fish soup, a large plate of bean sprouts, and cold wild vegetables. There were only two of them, and they were fuller than the Chinese New Year. In the end, there was still half a bowl of fish soup left. Ye Jiao urged Ji Yang to finish eating quickly, and he would not eat it tomorrow. delicious.
In this kind of weather, Ji Yang always uses cold water for bathing, only she uses hot water all year round, sometimes she feels that she has too many troubles, but he doesn't care about it.
Boiling hot water, mixing warm water, and bringing it in for her are all done with ease. I also like to lean on the head of the bed, their only pillow, and watch her read a book and do problems under the faint light.
After seeing enough, he will lazily say, "Are you going to sleep?"
"You sleep first." Ye Jiao replied.
He brought back several books, which to her was another world waiting to be discovered, and she worked tirelessly.
Ji Yang: "Then don't go to work tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't wake up, and half an acre of land is left unplowed. I'll come back and plant rice seedlings."
"I'll just plow slowly. I'll have to plow your land a second time, but I haven't plowed well." Ye Jiao turned to look at him.
Men do things less carefully than women, and Ji Yang is not good at it, stumbling around, the two of them are in the same boat.
"Then take your time. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. Is there any book you need? I'll pick it up for you tomorrow."
Ye Jiao was happy for a while, then puzzled, "Pick it up?"
"Otherwise, where do you think you can get them? The library in the town wants exlibris. I wandered around the black market, but no one sold them. The scrap yard is full of books, and the old man asked me to go more." Ji Yang lazily put his hands behind his head and spoke slowly.
"..." The corners of Ye Jiao's mouth twitched, and it took a while before he whispered, "Then... can you help me see if there are any exercises? It's just math and physics."
"I'll look for it, then I'll go to sleep." He pulled the quilt over to sleep as he spoke, and said before going to sleep, "By the way, I'll find some comic books and read them. I used to like to read them too."
Ye Jiao looked at him with his eyes closed, and then looked at the book that was put aside, inexplicably feeling at ease.
At present, it seems that Ji Yang can still take on some things. As long as she is free from Zhang Yan's nagging and maintenance, she can lead him to grow up slowly. This is already the best life she can think of.
The night was getting deeper, and the sound of insects outside became louder and louder. She was immersed in the book, sometimes frowning, and then slowly relaxing.
"Three cents is one catty, here is one catty and one tael, one catty is one catty, just give Sanmao."
"You have it."
"Simao, too many? Well, well, then Sanmao is just right."
…
Ji Yang set up a stall on the black market, selling bean sprouts by himself, and soon someone came to ask the price.
"What kind of fish is this?" The old man finished buying bean sprouts, pointed to the fish on the ground, and said, "Grass carp?"
"Yes, they are all the river fish caught first this morning. They are absolutely fresh. Grandpa bought one back, boiled the fish head in soup, fried the fish meat, and fried bean sprouts. It is definitely enough." Ji Yang smiled enthusiastically.
"How do you sell it?" The old man put his hands behind his back and asked while looking at him.
"This fish is big. It's no problem to eat two meals for one. Seafood sells for one yuan per catty. My river fish is 45 cents per catty, which is less than half the price." Ji Yang pointed and lowered his voice, "This one It’s only a catty, you also bought bean sprouts with me, uncle, if you bring one, I’ll pack it for you with seven cents.”
The old man did the math, eighty cents for a catty was eight cents a catty, and seventy cents was thirty cents a catty, which was indeed a bit of a bargain.
Pork is six cents a catty, and fish can be boiled in soup or fried.
"Then put it on."
"okay."
…
After earning a dollar from the old man, Ji Yang put the money away, looked at a woman in a worker's uniform, and smiled innocently, "Sister, a catty of bean sprouts? Thirty cents for a catty."
The woman looked at the bean sprouts, and also saw the fish he put aside, "How do you sell this fish?"
"Forty-five cents a catty."
Hearing this, the woman frowned a little, then turned her attention to the bean sprouts, "Forget it, give me a catty of bean sprouts."
A fish weighs more than one catty, and one dollar is gone. It is not as good as bean sprouts.
"Sister, don't you have a small family? There are few people. Here is a small fish. This is two taels a catty. Look at this. I will charge you six cents. I will give you another catty of bean sprouts. I will go back and make fish soup, stir-fried bean sprouts, and fried fish. Three dishes are enough." Come out." Ji Yang said as he caught the fish, "This meat is very fresh."
The woman hesitated for a while, she was indeed very attractive, and finally said, "Just this one."
"Okay." Ji Yang said it was enough for a catty of bean sprouts, and added a small handful, "I'll give you some more, and I'll come back when it's delicious."
The woman was very satisfied and took it with a smile.
Next, Ji Yang used this kind of marketing method, mainly selling fish. The fish will die when the sun is high, and it will not look fresh. Besides, this fish has no cost, but the price is high. One catty of mung beans can produce eight or nine catties of bean sprouts , the cost is very low.
Today he brought a total of eight fish of different sizes, but these eight fish helped him earn 4.8 yuan.
I took about 20 catties of bean sprouts, except that when selling fish to match, I would sell half and give some away, but I actually bought 14 catties, earning four yuan and two.
A total of nine yuan was credited.
I went to the waste station for a stroll, and today I generously gave the uncle fifty cents. The book is easy to find, but the exercise book is not. After searching for a while, I managed to find the chemistry exercise book, but there is no cover.
He put it in a bamboo basket, reluctantly.
Then he went to buy three more chicks. This time he was not as lucky as last time. The mung beans he bought in the end cost one piece per catty.
After haggling for a long time, even if I bought it all, I couldn't save much, and it cost three yuan for four catties.
Then he bought some dried noodles and rice. The food he bought home last time was too little. As long as it was lower than the market price, he would buy some without hesitation.
After all, these are necessities.
Back in the village, Sun Miaolan looked at him carrying the chicken, and said in a sour tone, "Yoko, do you have enough money to buy chickens? My parents and we have almost run out of food recently."
As he said that, he still wanted to look into his bamboo basket, wondering if there were any other good things, but he couldn't see them.
From her point of view, if you don't die, just follow them, and Ji Yang and his wife will be happy.
"That can't be helped. I originally wanted to ask Mom to give us another old hen. I don't know how long the chick will be raised before laying eggs, but Mom said I have to keep it to exchange for milk powder tickets." Ji Yang sighed again. , quite helplessly, "Sister-in-law, you and elder brother should treat your parents better. For the two children, parents save money on food and expenses, but if you can't even eat, it will be too much."
These words made Sun Miaolan choke. Looking at the people coming and going, she said, "I didn't say I couldn't eat, and besides, they are their grandchildren!"
"Sister-in-law said just now, why didn't she say anything now?" Ji Yang caught her words and became a little more serious, "Do my parents have food? If not, I won't let my parents go hungry , must be dealt with.”
"Why don't we have food? If we have a bite to eat, we won't starve our parents!" Seeing more and more people coming, Sun Miaolan raised her voice, fearing that others would think that she and Ji Dachao abused the two old immortals and came before leaving One sentence, "I don't think your daughter-in-law is going to do anything, and she is exhausted after work, so go and have a look."
She dislikes those educated youths from the city the most, each one is more delicate than the other, in her opinion it's just pretending!
"My daughter-in-law is definitely no better than my sister-in-law. I can only do more. It's nothing." Ji Yang didn't care.
Sun Miaolan's face turned green, and she couldn't argue with him, her chest hurt from holding back.
When Ji Yang got home, he first tied up the fence at the corner, and then put the chick inside. He watched it for a while, thinking about building another nest inside, so as not to get drenched in the rain.
Before Ye Jiao got home, she heard the sound of knocking inside. When she went in, she saw that he was repairing with an old wooden cage, and there were some wood chips beside it.
"Did you buy the chick?" Seeing him, Ye Jiao also had a smile in his eyes, and walked over to look at the chirping chicken in the enclosure, with a smile in his eyes.
Chicks will lay eggs when they grow up, and eggs are very valuable, so there is hope for such a life.
"Yeah." Ji Yang took another nail, aligned it and knocked it down with a brick.
"Can the fish be sold? There are also bean sprouts." She knelt down to look at the chicken, and then turned to look at him.
"Of course it's sold out. It's very popular. Otherwise, where did the chicks come from? I also bought some rice and dried noodles. This time, all the mung beans I bought are soaked. If they are easy to sell, I will sell more. After a while, there will be more people selling them." ” He said and got up, and put the cage in the pen, where the chicks would hide at night.
"Is it so easy to sell?" Ye Jiao was also curious and delighted.
"I sold it for nine yuan. I only found one copy of that exercise book, and I put it there. I'll check it out next time." Ji Yang pointed aside.
"So much money?" Ye Jiao gasped, and heard that there was an exercise book, so she hurried over.
They go to work, from morning to night, earning only a few yuan a month, and those who are strong earn only a dozen yuan. Ordinary workers in the town are only in their 30s and 40s, and they can only earn nine yuan a morning? I just can't believe it.
She flipped through the exercise book, held it in her arms like a baby, and looked at the dried noodles and rice he bought back.
There were so many surprises that I didn't know what to say.
"How much money do you have? I only carried 20 catties of bean sprouts today, and I can carry fifty or sixty catties, or I'll just pick it up." Ji Yang said.
"Isn't it a good choice? You will be suspected." She hesitated.
"Come back from the small path. There is a small path that goes directly behind our house. You don't need to go through the village entrance." He explained, stood up, looked at her holding the textbook, and raised her eyebrows, "I said yes. If you sell bean sprouts, you can supply them, so study hard.”
