Chapter 20
Susie didn't pay much attention to this man's wanton gaze because she didn't feel any malice.
She guessed that maybe he thought she looked like that person, so he took a few more glances.
Aunt Lan quickly stood up, "You guys are here, come on, come inside and sit down."
Susie entered the room, first put the brown sugar on the table, and then said with a smile: "Auntie, we're afraid we'll have to buy some vegetables from you."
"It's not just two days a day, it's probably at least a month. Five people eat it every day. Do you think you have a lot of food at home?"
Aunt Lan thought for a while and said, "I have grown more. I can still eat enough vegetables for these ten and a half days. After a while, the loofahs, eggplants, and cucumbers will be gone. Even those that are there will be too old to be eaten."
"I have planted some Chinese cabbage, I think I will be able to pick them up by then."
"If you want it, I'll plant more as soon as possible. The cabbage grows very fast and you can eat it in about twenty days."
"If there is really no food to eat, I will send out some soybean sprouts."
Susie nodded while listening, "Aunt Lan, we also bought some vegetable seeds, but we just don't know how to plant them."
Aunt Lan smiled and said, "It's easy. I will be free tomorrow. I will go to your place and tell you how to plant it."
Susie whispered: "We also want two eggs every day. Do you see how many eggs there are?"
Aunt Lan thought about it and said, "Absolutely."
"My son eats two eggs a day at home, and the eggs laid by these chickens are enough."
Su Qian was a little surprised when she heard this. Those educated youth felt that they couldn't eat eggs for a long time. In Aunt Lan's house, they could still give their children eggs every day. This condition was not very good.
Moreover, Aunt Lan is still a disabled person with little ability to work.
If the man on the chair at the moment was her husband, he wouldn't be able to earn work points at first glance.
Maybe Aunt Lan supports her family by sewing.
Susie said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Aunt Lan."
"Okay, let me give you twenty yuan first, which will be used as food money for this month." Susie said and started to dig into her trouser pockets.
Aunt Lan quickly stopped her, "Girl, are you stupid? How can you get so much!"
"I'll do the math——"
She was interrupted before she could finish her words. The man on the chair at the door said, "Ten dollars is enough."
Aunt Lan nodded, "Ten yuan is enough."
Su Qian knew well that ten yuan a month was only estimated at thirty-three cents per day, and two eggs alone were only one and twenty cents. Going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them was not only a penny more expensive, but also required a ticket.
In short, they took advantage.
Susie smiled: "Thank you, aunt and uncle."
Aunt Lan smiled and said, "He is my man, his surname is Liao."
Susie nodded to the man, "Thank you, Uncle Liao."
Liao Zhenyuan also nodded towards her.
Aunt Lan took a few girls in to pick some vegetables and two eggs.
Susie asked by the way if her family had any unwanted items that she would be willing to pay for.
Aunt Lan thought for a moment, "Not really. If you want, I'll ask my man to keep an eye on you. He's often running around outside."
Su Qian thanked her again and again, and then left with Tian Xiaohui and Zhao Tingting.
Aunt Lan looked at a pack of brown sugar on the table and said, "This girl is very polite and has a lot of money."
Such a big bag of brown sugar weighs probably two kilograms, which costs one or two yuan!
A strong worker in the production team can earn ten work points a day. Last year, one work point in the team was almost four cents, which means a strong worker could only earn 40 cents a day.
It takes several days of wages to buy a pack of brown sugar!
Liao Zhenyuan didn't pay attention to the bag of brown sugar. He was thinking about other things. After a long while, he slowly said: "Do you remember what I told you? In this life, if I can meet a noble person who is born with the fate of koi, I will be a noble person."
With support, I can soar into the sky."
Aunt Lan found that her husband's tone was more solemn than ever before. She suddenly felt her throat was dry and asked, "Gui, your noble person has appeared?"
Liao Zhenyuan nodded slowly.
Aunt Lan was trembling with excitement, "Yes, that beautiful girl named Su?"
Liao Zhenyuan nodded again.
Aunt Lan was so excited that she didn't know what to do, "As soon as you said it, I knew it was her. She was born well and her eyes seemed to have spiritual energy."
"Oh, I shouldn't have charged those ten yuan just now!"
Liao Zhenyuan shook his head, "She won't take it if I don't charge money."
Aunt Lan walked out excitedly, "I asked her to come back. I will kill a chicken and treat her to dinner tonight."
Liao Zhenyuan waved his hand, "No need."
"Don't force this matter, let it take its course."
"I can't go to the mountains, I can only go to the mountains."
"Besides, the timing is not right now. There is something strange about this girl. She is obviously born with the destiny of being a koi carp, but her luck is about to bottom out."
Aunt Lan was lame and couldn't stand standing for a long time. She also walked to the door and sat down and asked, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
Liao Zhenyuan said slowly: "Let me tell you this, the average person's luck is a bowl. With luck as big as a bowl, you can basically have food, clothing, and live in peace for the rest of your life."
"And this girl's luck is a pool."
"I just don't know why, but the water in the pool has been drained."
He smiled and said, "However, even if they only have a small amount left, they will be more blessed than our big bowl."
Aunt Lan tried her best to think about the fish pond of the former production team, and then thought about the bowl at home. How many bowls of water would it take to fill that pond?
She sighed, "Well, you can't compare with others. I'm afraid my blessing is only as much as a wine cup." Otherwise, I wouldn't be blind and lame.
Liao Zhenyuan laughed, "It doesn't matter, follow your man, and your man will follow the noble man, and your luck will only get better and better in the future."
He suddenly stood up and said, "I have to talk to this girl. I'm afraid she doesn't know that someone is harming her."
Aunt Lan said hurriedly: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
Liao Zhenyuan picked up the crutch next to the chair and went out on crutches.
There's nothing wrong with his left leg, but his right leg is curled up. Even so, he's walking with a cane and walking as fast as he can.
As soon as Su Qian arrived at the house, she heard someone shouting outside, "Su Zhiqing—Su Zhiqing—"
Susie came out and asked, "Uncle Liao, why are you here? Come inside and sit down."
She remembered that there were no chairs in the room, and was about to go to the next room to borrow a chair. Liao Zhenyuan waved to her, "Come here, I have something important to see you."
Susie thought it might be about buying vegetables, so she followed Uncle Liao out of the yard.
Qin Man just came out of the house. Looking at the backs of the two of them, he was a little confused at first, and then as if he wanted to understand something, he curled his lips and went to the stove room.
Su Qian and Uncle Liao returned home. Aunt Lan came over to make tea and stayed away.
Uncle Liao looked at Su Qian and said, "Su Zhiqing, you just came to Giethoorn. Maybe you don't know what I did before."
Susie asked cooperatively: "What do you do?"
