Ye Jiao was stunned, and quickly hid the money again, still a little nervous, his appearance made him laugh.
"Are you going to buy mung beans?" She looked up and asked.
Ji Yang: "I won't buy it for now."
Ye Jiao's heart skipped a beat, "Then we won't sell it anymore?"
Although the earning is a bit small, but compared to working for a few cents a day, this work is not hard.
"Not for sale at the moment." Ji Yang said, pulling her aside, "Let's go shopping today."
She was dragged by him to the state store.
The two were dressed casually and carried bamboo baskets. Compared with the workers coming and going, and some fashionable women, there was a huge gap.
Ye Jiao was a little embarrassed, feeling that others were looking at them with colored eyes, so she took his hand and whispered, "Let's go."
If they don't sell bean toothache sprouts, they will lose a lot of money, and the money must be saved and cannot be spent indiscriminately.
"I bought you some snacks." Ji Yang didn't have any special reaction, and insisted on taking her in.
Facing two strangers, no matter how much you look down on them, you will only silently despise them in your heart.
Some people will slow down and watch what the two rednecks have to buy.
It's nothing more than satisfying your own sense of superiority.
"Let's go." Ye Jiao was still shaking her head, "I won't eat."
Ji Yang ignored her duplicity, and skillfully took candies, pastries, and beef cubes from the shelves.
Finally, a small bottle of sour prunes.
"What else?" he asked over his shoulder.
The people around were all watching and frowning. These two countrymen don't know how much these things cost, do they
If you buy it like this, half a month's wages for a worker will be lost.
Ye Jiao didn't say anything, feeling sorry for Qian, seeing Ji Yang put his hand to the other side again, she quickly said, "I don't want anything else, just a small packet of hawthorn slices."
Ji Yang changed his hand and took down a pack of hawthorn slices.
The people next to them secretly looked forward to their embarrassment when they paid the bill, and the people in the city still thought that the country people were ignorant and muddy legs, and they were different from them.
I saw the man paid the money calmly, as if it was expected, and the woman next to him looked down at the snacks, showing no other expression.
If you say yes, you want to eat it written in your small eyes.
The two left again.
The man on the side of the second row of shelves witnessed the whole process, and looked at the small box of chocolates in his hand. He wanted to buy them for his blind date, but he wanted to compare them here for a long time. How could he be better than a country boy
It's definitely not the first time someone bought it so calmly.
After Ye Jiao finished the exam, she felt much more relaxed. Ji Yang went to the mountains to catch a few fish from time to time, and bought ten catties and eight catties of bean sprouts to sell. She couldn't stay at home, so she would follow him to the town to sell.
It's just that the income is greatly reduced, sometimes it's only two or three yuan, and he still has to buy this and that for her, and he has to post it.
The old lady sold it for fifty cents a catty every day, and quickly drove away the three young men. The mung beans were not cheap, and they could only buy seven or eight catties for a month of work.
I can't afford it.
When Ji Yang sells fish, he always ignores her. Most of the time, he buys fish and gives away bean sprouts. It doesn't matter how much the other party sells.
Ye Jiao also resigned to her fate, let's live like this, although there is a little gap, but it doesn't matter, they also have some savings.
Then I thought, Ji Yang didn't know what happened that day, and asked her to soak five catties of mung beans, but now he usually only soaks one catty.
"Let's go clubbing, I'll go to the mountains." He carried the bamboo basket and the ink and went out.
Ye Jiao hesitated for a while, and finally soaked all the remaining mung beans.
Ji Yang came back in the evening.
He was sweating profusely, and there was loess on the bottom of his trousers. Ye Jiao hurried up, "What did you do?"
"Digging wild yam." Ji Yang walked into the house and drank a large glass of water all at once.
"Yam?" Ye Jiao leaned over to look, and found that there were really yams in the bamboo basket, and the skin was mixed with loess.
"So much..." Ye Jiao was delighted, and could eat for a long time.
"I've been digging some for the past few days, and then I'll bring bean sprouts and fish to sell in the town." Ji Yang wiped his sweat with his hands.
"Are these going to be sold too?" Ye Jiao didn't expect this level, "Can this be sold?"
In my impression, people don't often eat this kind of thing.
"Why not? It's wild and natural. It can be used as medicine, as well as in soup, and even fried." Ji Yang took it out of the bamboo basket, "I'm going to prepare some earthworms, and I'll go fishing tomorrow morning."
"Will this be too hard? You don't have to work so hard." She looked worried, afraid that Ji Yang's body would not be able to bear it.
"It's nothing hard, you're going to college soon, and I'm going to save tuition for you. Some people in the city still look down on us, so we can't let others look down on you." Ji Yang squatted down, taking it for granted.
Ye Jiao's nose soured, she walked over and threw herself on his back.
The apex of the heart feels numb.
"It's so dirty." Ji Yang leaned forward, trying to pull her away, but Ye Jiao was ashamed to rub against him, buried her head on his shoulder, inevitably moved, and her words were muffled, "Then I Instead of going to college, I can be here with you, and we can build a new house and have your baby."
She didn't think it was good to go to university, and she had to come back when the time came. He was in his mid-twenties, and he had no home anyway, so no one cared if she went to school or not, so she just had a good time with him.
Although she used to yearn for a new life, she is not doing badly now, and she doesn't know the future of studying.
"What are you talking about?" Ji Yang pushed her hand away, turned around and scolded, "Follow me to dig in the ground?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?" she retorted.
In her opinion, there is no hard work. It takes four years to go to a university and go to a strange city. She is alone.
"Say it again?" Ji Yang squinted his eyes, and picked up the thin stick next to him, hating iron for being weak, "Who am I working so hard for? If you don't pass the exam, you can take the exam next year. If you don't pass the exam all the time Test."
He spoke seriously, but Ye Jiao slowly frowned.
"Still laughing!" He was so angry, "I'm supporting you with good food and drink, and I don't expect you to be famous."
Seeing that he looked like an elder, Ye Jiao pouted and reminded, "I am your wife, not your daughter."
In other words, it's not his family's glory to be outstanding.
"Your success is my child's mother's success, it is my child's success, and the ancestors are smoked." Ji Yang raised his voice to unify the lesson.
Ye Jiao smiled cheerfully, "But the child is gone, and he has to study in university for four years."
Ji Yang pondered for a while, "Just like this wine, the longer it is brewed, the more valuable and fragrant it will be."
Ye Jiao: "..."
What a broken metaphor
On the fifth day, the mung beans had grown into bean sprouts, and the two picked bean sprouts, yams and fish again, and went to the black market in the town.
"Selling bean sprouts, bean sprouts cost 30 cents a catty."
"Selling bean sprouts."
The old woman was yelling.
"Isn't it only fifteen cents two days ago? The price has increased so much?" The people who walked to the stall frowned.
Thirty cents is not expensive, but it has dropped too much in the past two days, and now it has risen again, which makes people feel uncomfortable and always feel that they have lost money.
"Mung beans are expensive. Mung beans cost a pound a piece, and the harvest is not good this year." The old lady explained, "A pound?"
Ye Jiao glanced around, and now the old lady was the only one selling bean sprouts in the street.
The original boys were nowhere to be seen.
Ji Yang is right, she really sold at a loss and then occupied the market by herself, but this method is too shameless.
"Two cents." The man was still bargaining in front of the grandmother's booth.
"Twenty cents can't be sold." She hadn't seen Ji Yang and the other two at this time, so she thought her family was the only one selling it, and her attitude was a little arrogant.
The man looked around and saw that someone had picked bean sprouts from a little down the street, so he turned his head and left, "Forget it if you don't sell it."
At this time, when the old lady saw the man walking to the other side, her eyes flickered. Isn't this young man not coming? Why are you here again
"How much is a catty of bean sprouts?" The man stood in front of Ji Yang's stall and said directly.
"Three cents of bean sprouts." Ji Yang replied, and then said, "Fresh river fish is 45 cents a catty, and wild yam is 40 cents a catty. Buy a fish and get a catty of bean sprouts, and buy a catty of wild yam and get half a catty of bean sprouts. "
No matter how the account is calculated, it is a good deal. After thinking for a while, the man said, "Then I will buy a big fish and a catty of wild yam, and give me two catties?"
"No problem, which one do you want?" Ji Yang was also straightforward.
The man pointed, and Ji Yang shook his head, "This one is too small to give a catty of bean sprouts, but the one over there is fine."
"Then what you said."
Ji Yang walked over to pick it up, weighed it, "Nine taels a catty, this piece of yam? Take it home and make soup, which is very nourishing."
"Eighty-five cents plus four cents, it's one yuan and two for you." Ji Yang said, and Ye Jiao handed over the packaged bean sprouts.
Men are very happy to pay.
Two catties of bean sprouts already cost 60 cents, which is equivalent to adding 60 cents to buy a fish and a catty of yam, which is very cost-effective.
After that, people came to ask the price one after another. Some people thought that fish and yam were too expensive, but bean sprouts were the same price as that grandma, so they were still willing to buy them.
The sale was fast, and Ye Jiao gradually had a stack of money notes in his hand.
The old lady not far away was very jealous when she saw that they were collecting money, and she wanted to sell her bean sprouts again, with a sullen face and muttering in her mouth.
In this way, it would be difficult for Ji Yang to sell the bean sprouts alone, but if he sells them in combination, the other party's lower price will not affect him too much. Now there are only about 20 catties of bean sprouts left. There is no rush.
The big deal is to wait until she sells out and sell it herself.
In the next few days, he only took 30 catties of bean sprouts, and sold them in combination every day. It didn't matter whether the other party sold them for 10 cents or 15 cents, but it didn't affect his sales.
Even the mung beans grown at home can't bear such a loss.
Go again later, the old lady is gone.
Now, Ji Yang began to carry dozens of catties every day again, and no one affected his sales anymore.
Earn dozens of dollars a day.
today.
Ye Jiao and Ji Yang had just returned home, and before they could sit down and drink, someone from the village came running and shouted, "Yoko, Yoko, your daughter-in-law is admitted to college."
Ji Yang quickly opened the door, "Really?"
"Isn't it true? All the cadres in the town have come, saying that they can still go to Imperial University after taking the third place in the city's exam." The man was also excited, "Hurry over and have a look."
"Let's go." Ji Yang pulled Ye Jiao up, more excited than she was.
When they arrived at the village, Xu Qijie and two educated youths were also there. They had also been admitted to university, and their expressions could not hide their excitement.
The cadres in the town looked at Ye Jiao and congratulated her, saying that she had honored her and brought her a bonus.
Wrapped in a red envelope, I don't know how much money it has.
Xu Qijie looked at her from the side. Over the past year, she seemed to have not changed, and she seemed to have changed. At this time, she was smiling, and she was even more dazzling under the hot sun.
For a while, the news that Ji Yang's daughter-in-law was admitted to God's Capital University spread throughout the village, even several neighboring villages knew about it.
Zhang Yan refused to let him go, because Ji's father was making a fuss.
Imperial capital.
Can I go back
"What kind of notice is that, Yoko, you bring it to mom, and mom tore it up, so hurry up and have a baby with her, what book are you going to study?" Zhang Yan was so anxious that she slapped her thigh, pointed at Ye Jiao, and was about to yell at her. "You woman, you have been married to my family for two years. It's fine if you haven't had a child. Now that you're going to go for four years! You have to pay for her to study, and you are here to harm our family!"
What is the concept of four years
Country people get married and have children in their teens. Ji Yang is twenty-two this year, and will be twenty-six in four years. By then, he will have to be close to thirty to have a child.
How many births have you had at the age of 30? The children can work in the field.
Ye Jiao was pulled back by Ji Yang, Ji's father was also smoking a cigarette, and his tone was moderate, "Don't go, don't make people laugh."
Ji Yang has been waiting for her at home for four years, and others don't know what to say about their family behind their backs.
"Why don't you go?" Ji Yang was dissatisfied, "I want to go, I still want to go with her."
"What nonsense?" Ji's father's face changed suddenly, and his voice was stern.
