Li Xin made this suggestion. The time is still when everyone is in the dormitory.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
To be honest, some people are really curious.
"We have known each other for a year, and the other dormitories go out for dinner, and we have never been there once." Li Xin took the opportunity to exit and continued, "We don't eat free food, everyone contributes a little money, just find a place to be together Let's eat."
"The main reason is that the taste is really good, so I recommend it."
She wanted to see how Ye Jiao explained it.
Is that store closed
"I think it's okay. Let's go get together and get in touch with our relationship. It's true that we haven't gone out together." Another little girl said.
heard the words.
Xu Tao and a few others from poor families stopped talking.
They have to eat steamed buns for a few days every month, how can they have money to eat some big meals? Those of Li Xin's family background are a bit better, but they don't care about their psychological feelings.
"Our store is temporarily closed." Ye Jiao said.
"Why? The business was pretty good last time, why didn't you open it?" Li Xin raised his voice, puzzled.
"The area is too small, and the back kitchen is also very small. It needs to be rebuilt, and only breakfast is sold next to it in the morning." Ye Jiao answered.
Now it is only sold in the morning, and the dust is flying all over the sky during construction, so it is not suitable for selling other things.
"Does that mean it's time to set up a stall to sell breakfast again?" Li Xin automatically ignored the first half of her words.
"It's going to be rebuilt to make it bigger, and everything will be sold after it's built." Xu Tao answered on the sidelines.
Li Xin pursed her mouth, "What do you want to cover again?"
She would never have guessed that it was Ji Yang and the others who paid for the building, and subconsciously thought that the store belonged to someone else. Since it was someone else's, why did Ye Jiao and the others think it was small enough to build it again
But Xu Tao felt that she had a problem with her comprehension, and Ye Jiao didn't know what to say, so she said, "If you want to go to our house, you have to start school at the earliest. I can treat you to dinner."
"Really?"
"Then school starts, it's not too late."
"Is it your husband's cooking? I want to try his cooking too."
…
As soon as Ye Jiao spoke, several people agreed.
They didn't want to go to the dinner party. One or two yuan was nothing to Li Xin and the others, but it was a huge sum of money to them, and they couldn't afford it at all, but they were embarrassed to say it, for fear of being laughed at.
According to Ye Jiao's temperament, going to their store will inevitably result in a discount.
"No, he made the spices, but he doesn't know how to stir-fry." Ye Jiao shook his head, Ji Yang likes to ask her to stir-fry them when he adjusts the spices.
"Did he tune it? So powerful?" Xu Tao exclaimed.
Hearing others praise Ji Yang, Ye Jiao smiled a little bit, "It's just that his cooking skills are too bad, but he is actually good at mixing spices."
She thinks that the reason may be that Ji Yang has a tricky mouth, and when mixing spices, she has to fry them over and over again. Her sense of smell is too sensitive, and she can always try out the best flavor.
"Will dark dishes be fried?"
"curious."
…
Everyone's attention shifted, and Li Xin was directly ignored. She looked at Ye Jiao and gritted her teeth secretly.
snort!
Then let's see after the Chinese New Year, what kind of building is going to be built? From her point of view, I'm afraid she is lying, right
After the incident last time, she felt that Ye Jiao also wanted to save face.
He obviously didn't want to exempt her from paying the bill, but in the end he asked his husband to stand up to him when he had no other choice. Why pretend to be generous
The days passed like this.
During the end-of-term holiday, an incident happened that made her more determined that Ye Jiao and her husband were poor ghosts.
The shop can't continue to open and still pretends.
today.
Mrs. Li and Li Xin came to Chenjiaxiang, carrying an old hen, eggs, and a bag of brown sugar.
"Grandma, are you going to take care of my aunt? Then what about grandpa and I?" Li Xin followed behind her, constantly muttering.
"You guys." Mrs. Li shook her head, extremely helpless, "Let's go and have a look first."
The two came to the door and reached out to knock on the door.
No one opened.
"Button, button." Mrs. Li knocked again, "Qianqian? Serena, are you home?"
Li Xin looked at the ground and stood aside. She really didn't want to come. Li Qian was not very good at pampering her. She had to lecture her from time to time, which she hated.
"Hold on, it's about to fall."
"Slower."
A familiar voice came from behind, Li Xin turned her head and saw Ye Jiao appeared in her field of vision, together with her husband.
A bunch of stuff on the cart.
Ye Jiao didn't expect to see her, and was slightly taken aback.
"You live in this room too? My daughter lives here." Mrs. Li spoke first and asked politely.
"En." Ye Jiao nodded, walked over to open the door, and vaguely guessed it.
Sure enough, Li Qian was the other party's daughter.
"You're only coming back now? Shall I help you move it?" Li Xin said that he was about to go to help, but Ji Yang took it first, "No need."
She really withdrew her hand, but she didn't actually intend to reach out, and continued, "Do you have to set up a stall every day now?"
"I won't go if it rains heavily." Ye Jiao said, carrying the tables and chairs with Ji Yang, and tidying up the dishes.
Now I only earn a hundred yuan a day just buying breakfast. It is true that I do not earn as much as opening a store, but I have to continue.
Otherwise, the passenger flow will decrease.
"That was too hard." Li Xin said a few more words, and followed Mrs. Li to the other side.
Ji Yang and Ye Jiao continued to work and didn't pay much attention to her.
In the room, Li Qian was struggling to get up, with a tired face, "Mom, Xiao Jiao, sit down."
"Take a rest when you're tired, why are you being polite?" Mrs. Li came over and looked at her with distressed eyes.
Li Qian was in her thirties, and this was her first child, but it cost her half her life.
Chen Wei is a doctor and he is very busy. How can he have time to take care of her? You still have to watch the baby alone.
But the energy is not as good as before, and I have been tossed enough.
Li Xin sat on the side, looking at the baby on the other side's bed, crying again, she didn't like it.
To be honest, she also felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
In the past, she was the only child in the family, and everyone loved her. Li and Lao couple gave her all their retirement wages. After Li Qian gave birth to a child, she did drop down.
The old lady Li went over to hug and coax Li Qian, and Li Qian was relieved.
"By the way, the co-renters next to you are classmate Xiner and her husband. They opened a small restaurant before, and we went to eat." Mrs. Li said casually.
"Student Xin'er? I haven't had much contact with him recently. I used to buy breakfast, but recently it seems to be sold again." Li Qian was so sleepy, she continued.
"Go to sleep, don't you have a rest at night?" Mrs. Li sighed, walking around the house with the little guy in her arms.
Li Qian fell asleep in a daze.
Li Xin was very bored sitting on the side. She walked out of the room and saw Ye Jiao was washing mung beans with some eggs beside her.
In the west corner of the yard, a shed was set up, with a stove and pot inside, and firewood next to it.
She didn't go over.
Ye Jiao didn't see her either. He was washing eggs and purple rice. His husband lit a fire and sat on a wooden bench.
Since she was a child, she has never touched the spring water with her ten fingers, and she has been served well.
Seeing such a situation, it is impossible to say that there is no sense of superiority.
She even felt that Ye Jiao's life was very miserable. Why should she compare with her if she married a mud leg and lived such a life
Sitting there and watching for a while, it seemed that he was admiring the other party's embarrassment.
In fact, Ye Jiao had also noticed her, but she pretended not to notice, added firewood to the pot, and chatted with Ji Yang, "You said it would be good to build a floor at that time, and there is no need to borrow money."
"If it's not that I can't borrow so much, I still want to build three floors." Ji Yang stood up, moved the eggs aside, and began to prepare tomorrow's spice package.
"What if we don't make it?" She frowned.
After buying the land, they had to build two more floors. Of course, the money they saved was not enough, so Ji Yang mortgaged the land again.
"No chance." Ji Yang replied directly, without using his brain at all.
Ye Jiao's lips moved, but she didn't continue.
She didn't have any big ambitions. She wanted to buy the land but she was afraid that it would be fine to build it by herself and start a small business, live by herself or rent it to others.
As long as they have a nest, they can survive in the imperial capital.
Mrs. Li and Li Xin went back for the last time, and came again in the evening.
It was really hard for Li Qian to take care of the child alone. Mrs. Li couldn't stand it anymore, so she packed up her clothes and came to take care of her daughter. Li Xin also found an excuse and followed.
There are six houses in the courtyard, one is a kitchen and the other is a bathroom. Every family has two houses, one big and one small.
Chen Wei was naturally happy, and hurriedly cleaned up the small room for Mrs. Li and Li Xin to live in. The two lived in the courtyard, and Li Qian felt a little more relaxed.
Li Xin still sleeps and eats every day, and takes out books from time to time to pretend.
Although she was admitted to Imperial University, her score was much lower than that of Ye Jiao. First, she had a local household registration in the Imperial Capital, and the local preferential policies;
She saw that Ye Jiao was busy every day, got up before dawn, came back at noon, was busy again in the afternoon, went to bed early at night, and had a very hard life.
But all of this was before Li Qian said that they could earn tens of dollars a day.
When she heard it for the first time, she was stunned, "No way? Auntie, have you been cheated? She will lie a lot for the sake of face. How much money can you make by selling those little things?"
"Don't underestimate it. Last time your little uncle went to investigate and wanted to open a shop, but I stopped him. Their profits are very high. The two of them sell a lot of things. In fact, they make a lot of money. Otherwise, they would spend a lot of money every day. ? Fruits are endless.” Li Qian said.
Although there is no intersection, but living close, you can still feel some.
Dozens a day
Li Xin couldn't imagine that Xiao Zhe's monthly salary was the same as what the other party earned in a day
She also deliberately observed for a few days.
On the first day, Ji Yang brought back a chicken, some vegetables, and bought a watermelon, and Ye Jiao gave Li Qian a small piece back when Li Qian went out.
Watermelon is very sweet.
I bought a crucian carp the next day, as well as cantaloupe and mango.
On the third day, she came back from outside. Ye Jiao and Ji Yang were in the small courtyard, and they didn't know what they were cooking. , would you like to try one?"
Seeing her coming back, Ye Jiao's expression softened a little. Li Xin was not enthusiastic about her, so she naturally didn't need to put her hot face on her cold ass.
Naturally, the longan in his hand will not be shared with the other party. Li Xin will always look like she owes her, and the longan in his hand is not cheap. They are short of money recently, and Ji Yang is reluctant to eat it. She will not give her one. Wouldn't it be nice to keep it for her family, Ji Yang
Li Xin's life here is not very good. In the past, the old couple would buy whatever they wanted to eat at home. Now when they come here, Li Qian's child needs to drink milk powder, various expenses, and the money is not enough. The money given Naturally, it is less, and Mrs. Li has to weigh it when she wants to buy meals for the whole family.
Whenever she went out and smelled the smell of meat next to her, she felt very upset.
Especially when going to the bathroom.
Ye Jiao's laughter always came from the room, "I won't eat it, you eat this chicken leg, you said you bought fish head to make soup, you must eat it."
As soon as she finished speaking, another man's deep voice sounded, "Daughter-in-law, eat fish heads and you will become smarter."
"I don't want it!" The woman said angrily.
"I'll feed you."
"I'm angry, Ji Yang!"
…
There was a fight mixed with laughter, Li Xin muttered a few words and went to the bathroom.
Waiting for her to deal with it, when she was passing by, she happened to hear Ye Jiao acting coquettishly, "Then clean it up, can you get me a basin of footwashing water by the way?"
"cannot."
The man said calmly, sounding a little displeased.
Hearing this tone, Li Xin snorted coldly, it was nothing more than that, she thought how good the relationship could be.
Walking to the room of the two of them, he deliberately slowed down.
"Yes!" Ye Jiao also raised her voice.
"No." When the man said, there was the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing inside.
Ye Jiao didn't speak anymore.
Li Xin heard that there was no movement inside, and took two steps closer.
Still no sound.
Curiosity drove her closer again, always wanting to see Ye Jiao's shameful side and find a reason to retaliate against her.
We're all going to the door.
Still no sound.
Her heart speeded up, maybe she was about to fight inside
suddenly.
The door was opened at once.
The two of them haven't found her yet, Ye Jiao is still hanging on Ji Yang's body, she looked up at him, Ji Yang pursed his lips, looked down at her, "Go down!"
Ye Jiao didn't speak.
"I'm just too used to you." Ji Yang squinted his eyes, "Do you want to wash your feet? How about a full set of services?"
"It's been a hard day today. After standing all morning, my feet are sore." Ye Jiao didn't say whether it was okay, but said this instead.
"Why don't you feel sore when collecting money? The action is very fast." He said.
Ye Jiao smiled, got off him, and walked into the house, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you."
"The little ancestor who married back." Ji Yang walked out as he said, and saw Ye Jiao at the side at once. He raised his eyebrows and walked straight to the shed.
There was still some hot water in the pot on the small stove, and he was going to pour it.
Li Xin looked at his figure, feeling aggrieved in his heart, Ye Jiao could still politely give her a few smiles, this man completely ignored her, and didn't pay her any attention at all.
Even if she went out and faced her directly, if she raised a smile, the other party would just pretend she didn't see her and walk away with her sideways body.
This time, Li Xin was offended.
She has a temperament that does not suffer, and she still holds grudges, so she has to teach Ji Yang a lesson.
next night.
She got up while Mrs. Li was asleep and went out. Seeing that the lights in Ye Jiao's house were also turned off, she walked to the shed in the corner, took the fine sand she had prepared, and added it to the purple rice and rice that Ji Yang had prepared. mung beans.
Not only that, but also added a lot to the pot.
The two got up early, before dawn, and the lights were dark, so they couldn't see at all.
