Guan Baiyu felt a little uneasy after seeing Guan Kai's mother, and said to Shi Zhen, "Brother, should we wait to buy it again?"
Just now when he saw the other party first, he avoided it, but if they met again, they might not be able to escape.
Shi Zhen said, "Why wait?"
After Shi Zhen asked, he saw that Guan Baiyu was a little uneasy, and immediately said: "She came out swaggeringly, obviously not afraid of others seeing it. She is not afraid, what are we afraid of?"
Their village is not far from the town, and Guan Kai's mother is a native, not to mention that people in their village know her, and people in other villages also know her.
If she can walk out holding the hand of a stranger, she is 80% determined to get a divorce.
When Guan Baiyu heard what Shi Zhen said, he felt it was reasonable, but he was a little worried: "Will she be beaten by his husband?"
Shi Zhen said: "Your little grandfather's house... Except for your little grandfather, no one else dares to beat people, right? If you beat him, you may not be able to beat him."
Guan Kai's father, Guan Wenguo, is a little taller than his brother Guan Pingguo, but he is only about 1.6 meters tall, about the same height as Guan Kai's mother, so he may not be able to beat Guan Kai's mother.
Guan Baiyu thought about it carefully, and this is really the truth.
Shi Zhen said again: "And they bully the soft and fear the hard, and they are very conscientious in their work, and they dare not fight."
"From the heart?" Guan Baiyu didn't understand.
"Coward." Shi Zhen explained.
Guan Baiyu couldn't help but laugh.
After being ill once and being taken care of by Shi Zhen, Guan Baiyu and Shi Zhen became a little closer, and he no longer dared to accept anything from Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen attaches so much importance to making money, and when he is sick, Shi Zhen doesn't care about the business...
For the first time, he truly felt what his family was like.
No wonder, his adoptive parents asked Guan Jinjin to do something, and Guan Jinjin dared to cheat if he didn't want to do it.
Shi Zhen could also feel Guan Baiyu's changes.
He likes Guan Baiyu's changes very much.
Shi Zhen bought Guan Baiyu four clothes and three pairs of pants.
The tops are all short sleeves with simple styles, as for the trousers, all three are long trousers.
It's hot in summer, Shi Zhen originally wanted to buy all shorts, but Guan Baiyu woke up the dreamer: "Brother, there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, you will be bitten by wearing shorts."
There is a lot of water here, the fields are paddy fields, and there are many mosquitoes. In summer, mosquitoes are everywhere, and in general, mosquitoes bite their legs.
Although Guan Baiyu grew up in the countryside, he didn't do much farm work, and he didn't like to run outside. His skin was very tender, and he was especially attracted to mosquitoes. It didn't matter if he was attracted by mosquitoes.
Shi Zhen simply bought him loose trousers.
Putting on the new clothes, Guan Baiyu looked very energetic. According to the villagers, he looked like a street person, not a countryman.
It was the first time that Guan Baiyu came to buy new clothes with someone.
After buying his own clothes, he said, "Brother, go buy a few too."
"Yeah." Shi Zhen agreed, went to a store and ordered eight vests and six shorts in one go.
This store was recommended to him by others. The vests sold here are cheap and high-quality, only four yuan a piece.
Of these eight vests, Shi Zhen planned to have four for himself, four for Shi Xinghuo, and of course the pants were equally divided.
And their clothes and trousers are of different colors and the same size and style.
As for why to buy a vest... In the hot weather these days, men still wear vests more, and even a lot of people are shirtless.
Moreover, he is not afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes. When he is bitten by mosquitoes, he usually does not feel it. Occasionally, some mosquitoes are particularly poisonous, so that he can get a bag.
Shi Xinghuo was even more rough. When they were in the village before, it was very stuffy for several people to live in a house in summer. Shi Xinghuo often slept outside, and a group of mosquitoes caught him and bit him without affecting his sleep.
The clothes that Shi Zhen and Shi Xinghuo bought together were not as expensive as Kuan Bai Yu's clothes.
Guan Baiyu glanced at Shi Zhen, and secretly decided that when he became rich in the future, he must buy the best clothes for his brother.
Also, he wanted to be like Shi Xinghuo, wearing the same clothes as his brother.
After buying clothes, Shi Zhen went to buy two pairs of plastic sandals for himself and Shi Xinghuo.
This kind of plastic sandals is also very cheap. It costs five yuan a pair. He is the same size as Shi Xinghuo, so there is no need to worry about buying the wrong one.
But Guan Baiyu... Thinking that his feet are easily bitten by mosquitoes when he wears sandals, and he should not be allowed to wear sandals in physical education classes in the future, Shi Zhen took him to buy a pair of Huili, which sells for fifteen yuan a pair in town, and the soles are very firm. It is thick and the quality is good at a glance.
It was Shi Zhen who originally planned to buy Guan Baiyu a fit, but both the store owner and Guan Baiyu felt that they should buy a size larger, and in the end they still bought a size larger.
After buying the shoes, Shi Zhen looked at Guan Baiyu again: "Today is Children's Day, these clothes are considered as gifts for your Children's Day... Let's go have a wonton for lunch next, and go to the park after eating, how about it?"
Guan Baiyu hadn't noticed before, today is Children's Day.
Originally, people didn't pay much attention to these festivals these days. He didn't go to school these days, and he didn't hear any mention of Children's Day at all.
His brother wants to celebrate Children's Day for him, which is really nice!
What Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu to eat at noon was not the small wonton he had eaten before, but the big wonton. This kind of big wonton is called a chao shou in some places.
A bowl of ten big wontons costs two yuan, which is quite expensive, but there is quite a lot of meat in the bread, which is very solid. Guan Baiyu couldn't finish it, and he even gave two to Shi Zhen.
After eating, the two went to the park.
There is a park in this town, and it is also the only place for people in the town and the surrounding countryside to play.
When Shi Zhen came to Anshan Town 20 years ago, the park was already free, but at this time there was a fee, and each ticket cost 2 yuan, and only children under 1.2 meters were free.
So people from the town don't come very often, and on weekends, some parents take their children to play in the park.
But today is different. Although today is Wednesday, because the primary school in the town is on holiday on Children's Day, it doesn't matter. The school also gave each student a ticket to the park.
Children in grades 4, 5, and 6 can come and play on their own, but younger children can’t. They have to ask their parents to bring them with them, so there are many people in the park.
The person in charge of the park probably had expected it long ago, and made some decorations to make it extraordinarily beautiful.
Naturally, Guan Baiyu had never been to this kind of park that required a fee before. When he saw Shi Zhen buying tickets, he couldn't help but feel distressed. When Shi Zhen took him in, he was dazzled.
There are really too many people here!
And in the park, there are many things he has not seen before, such as bumper cars and trampolines.
Guan Baiyu felt fresh when he saw everything.
Shi Zhen was the exact opposite. To him, this small park was really broken and small.
Later parks have large lawns and large squares. What about this park? The square dance aunt wants to dance, but she can't find enough space.
However, its scenery is quite good, with ponds, rockeries, and an amusement park full of children.
It's that the things for people to play in the amusement park are very expensive. It costs five yuan to drive a bumper car!
Seeing that Guan Baiyu was curious about everything, Shi Zhen asked him if he wanted to play bumper cars.
Some facilities are for children, not suitable for Guan Baiyu, but Guan Baiyu can play with bumper cars.
It's the bumper cars in this park. They're not the kind that will be driven by later generations, but they are driven one by one. Someone pays and gets into one of the cars. The staff uses the key to open it, and he can drive for a period of time. After the car stopped, someone else got on.
There were many people today, and everyone was waiting in line. As soon as all the cars stopped, someone got up immediately.
"Brother, I just saw it for the first time. I don't want to play." Guan Baiyu said seriously, he really didn't want to play.
Just go down and sit for a while, and ask for five dollars... Crazy? !
Afraid that Shi Zhen would let him play, Guan Baiyu immediately said, "Brother, let's go shopping elsewhere."
The two walked around in the park.
Although the park is small, there are quite a lot of things, and there is also a small shop in it.
Shi Zhen spent a piece of six cents and bought two strawberry yogurt popsicles.
The price of this popsicle was reduced to 50 cents, and now I don't know what happened, it costs 80 cents.
Guan Baiyu had never even eaten the cheapest two or three cents a popsicle. It was the first time that he had eaten such an expensive popsicle, and his whole body was filled with joy.
They also found a photographer who took pictures of people in the park, and spent two dollars to take a group photo. The photographer used a film camera. It would take a few days to develop the photo, so they gave them a photo. Invoice, let them go to the photo studio next to the park to get pictures in a few days.
This photographer's photo business is doing very well. People who look for him to take pictures are always in line-many parents don't necessarily take their children out to play once a year, and they will take pictures of their children when they come.
Especially those very young children, especially taking pictures. Most of their parents were born in the 1960s and basically knew how to read and write. Now they are in their thirties. They generally have jobs. In addition, they are both only children now... They are willing to spend money on their children.
Arranging the little boy behind Guan Baiyu and Shi Zhen, his parents generously gave ten dollars to let the photographer take a separate photo and a group photo of him, and took five pictures in one go.
The boy's eyebrows were red dotted with lipstick by his mother, and no one blocked him when he was wearing open-crotch pants... Shi Zhen felt that when he grew up, he would definitely think that this photo was black history.
The two stayed in the park until four in the afternoon before going home.
In the evening, Shi Zhen went to the town to sell fried skewers as usual, but Guan Baiyu was in the village, but attracted onlookers.
Shi Zhen came to the village in March, and now in June, he has been here for less than three months.
In the past three months, Guan Baiyu has changed a lot, but because the people in the village see him all the time and he has been wearing old clothes, they don't feel much about his changes.
But today…
Shi Zhen is getting older, and his aesthetics are different from when he was young. When choosing clothes for Guan Baiyu, he likes to choose bright colors.
Guan Baiyu used to wear gray clothes all the time and liked bright colors, so he got along very well with Shi Zhen.
So Guan Baiyu's short sleeves were one bright red, one dark blue, one turmeric, and one brown. At that time, Shi Zhen thought that he looked best in red, so he even changed into red.
Red T-shirt, black trousers, white sneakers…
Guan Baiyu's skin was particularly white, and his whole body was fresh and refreshing. The children of the same age in the village stood beside him, like mud monkeys.
Now that it's hot, everyone will come out to chat after dinner, because Guan Baiyu's family always cooks things recently, and he can buy cooked food at his house. There are many people who come here, and now they are around Guan Baiyu to praise.
"Xiao Yu looks so handsome!"
"In the future, the little girl will definitely like it."
"The stars on TV are not as good-looking as you are."
"Back then, your father wasn't as handsome as you! But your mother should be pretty, and your cousin is."
…
These people praised Guan Baiyu and started talking about other things in the village.
For example, the chickens raised in Guanguang are not selling very well.
Domestic broiler chickens can usually be sold after seven weeks. The chickens in Guanguang have been raised for two months now, and they have already been sold.
But it didn't sell well.
The logistics of later generations were fast. At that time, there were several large farms near Anshan Town. The chickens and ducks in it were all supplied to the nearby big cities, so there was no need to worry about sales. In terms of prices, in a large area around, the prices of these things were also stable. .
During the epidemic, chickens and ducks could not be transported out, and the price of local chickens and ducks plummeted, all of which fell by half.
And now... Because of the imperfect logistics, it is actually similar to the epidemic period, and the price of chickens and ducks depends on the local market.
If there are fewer people raising chickens and ducks in the local countryside, the price of chickens and ducks in the town and Changxi City will rise.
If there are more people raising chickens and ducks in the local countryside, the price of chickens and ducks in the town and Changxi City will drop.
Pigs are the same.
Because of this reason, the price of pigs has always fallen. People who raise pigs make less money, so they don't raise them or raise them less. If they raise less, the price of pigs will rise, and the price of pigs will rise. fell again.
In the past few years, whether in the town or in Changxi City, the demand for chickens and ducks has been increasing, but there were few people who raised chickens and ducks at that time... So everyone who raised chickens and ducks and sold them made a fortune.
Until now, even people like Guan Pingguo who don't have much knowledge know that raising chickens can make money, and they can think about raising chickens. There are too many people raising chickens, and the price of chickens has dropped.
Raise a few old hens at home, give them some millet and let them find food for themselves. It doesn't cost a lot of money, but for broiler chickens, you must feed the chickens, otherwise the chickens will not grow meat.
So much money is thrown in, but the chicken can't be sold for a price when it grows... Guan Guangguo is naturally worried.
Fortunately, although it can't be sold at the price, it has been sold... If you can't sell it and put it at home to eat feed every day, it will be really unbearable.
"Guanguang country has been busy for two months, and I heard that he didn't make any money at all."
"Really, what kind of chickens are they raising! If they don't raise chickens and keep silkworms as before, how can they make money."
"Do people want to make a fortune! They have to continue to support it!"
…
Guan Baiyu was a little worried when he heard this, but he couldn't do anything, even if he heard it.
While listening, a scream suddenly came from a distance, followed by the sound of quarrels and the sound of things being thrown.
All the people who were chatting at the door of Guan Baiyu's house were all shocked and rushed to the place where the voice came from.
Guan Baiyu glanced at it and found that the place where the sound came from was Guan Kai's house.
Thinking of the scene he saw in the morning, Guan Baiyu probably knew what happened.
He has no interest in this kind of thing.
In twenty days or so, the senior high school entrance examination will take place, and if he has time, he would rather read more books.
But although Shi Xinghuo is not from the village, he is very interested in gossip, and there is no work that needs him to do at this moment... He ran away to watch the fun.
It took a long time to watch this lively, and Shi Xinghuo didn't come back until an hour later. When he came back, he couldn't tell what happened.
Guan Baiyu, who wanted to inquire with him: "..."
But Guan Baiyu didn't know what happened, but the other people in the village knew about it. They were eager to communicate with people about it, but everyone around them went to watch the fun...
Recalling that Guan Baiyu didn't go, Guan Jianguo's mother specially found Guan Baiyu and told Guan Baiyu what happened to his little grandfather's house.
Guan Kai's mother wants a divorce.
In the countryside these days, divorce is a big deal, and generally speaking, no one leaves.
Divorced, do you still have a home
When a woman encounters her husband cheating, she generally endures it. After all, she is likely to have nowhere to go after a divorce.
When men cheat on their wives, they generally endure it. It is not easy to marry a wife, and they may not be able to find another without them.
Now Guan Kai's mother is leaving, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
Guan Wenguo is of course not happy. His wife is good-looking and gives him a long face. No matter how much his mother dislikes his wife, he doesn't want to leave.
Even the little grandmother doesn't want her daughter-in-law to divorce her son. If she hates her daughter-in-law, she hates her daughter-in-law. Divorce is definitely not possible!
But Guan Kai's mother made up his mind and found a next home.
What's even more amazing is... The next family she was looking for was not married yet, only twenty-seven years younger than her.
The second grandmother and the little grandma have a bad relationship. At this moment, the second grandmother said to Guan Baiyu excitedly: "Guan Kai's mother is amazing. She said that if the Guan family refuses to leave, she will come and hack them to death!"
Guan Baiyu: "..." My aunt is amazing!
