What Chen Lishu didn't expect was that melon seeds could be sold for more than ten cents a pound at the station.
The aunt and I turned around the main entrance of the train station. There was an old man standing behind a pillar on the side. There was a wooden box that looked like a popsicle seller at his feet. The aunt went over and opened the lid. Inside, the nuts, twists and melon seeds were neatly separated by grids. The old man took it from his pocket.
She took out a small tray scale from her bag and weighed a pound of sand fruit for Chen Lishu.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the aunt asked unwillingly: "Girl, don't you want some more big twist melon seeds?"
"No, I'm a little motion sick, just eat some sago." Chen Lishu said with a smile, and took the sago to buy a ticket at the train station.
She bought the ticket in the afternoon and went to a state-owned restaurant for a simple bowl of braised noodles and took two steamed buns with her at noon.
The train was delayed again, and by the time Chen Lishu arrived in town, it was already past four in the afternoon. As the weather turned colder and cloudy, it became dark by four o'clock.
All the way to the small courtyard, as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw Gu Xingye chopping firewood in the courtyard. The kitchen chimney was smoking.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back so that I could pick you up at the station?" Gu Xingye stopped what he was doing when he saw her coming back and said.
Chen Lishu said with a smile: "It's not far from the town. I didn't bring anything, so I didn't bother you."
Gu Xingping was cooking in the kitchen when she heard Chen Lishu's voice and ran out immediately. She was very happy to see her back: "Sister-in-law, I'm cooking. Go and put the things down quickly. I'll cook some more and we'll start dinner."
"Sister-in-law, you have to add more food when you come back. Why don't I get the same treatment?" Gu Xingye joked a little bit, thinking that he cooked the food himself on the first day he came here.
"Fourth brother, how can you compete with Third Sister-in-law? Let's chop your firewood." Gu Xingping snorted at him and turned back to the kitchen.
Chen Lishu first went back to the house and put down her bag, then simply washed her hands and face and finally felt more energetic. Outside, Gu Xingping began to ask her to go eat.
Chen Lishu responded and went out. As soon as she sat down at the table, she saw that there was dried sausage in the rice in front of her. She couldn't help but curiously asked: "Where did the dried sausage come from?"
Gu Xingping raised her head: "Ding Chen sent it. Aunt Sun's dried sausage is particularly delicious. Sister-in-law, please try it."
Chen Lishu picked up the chopsticks and tasted it: "It's really delicious."
"When I look at the bottom of the beer bottle, I don't look like a good person. Why do you think he gave you such expensive dried sausage for no reason? He must not have good intentions." Gu Xingye saw the smile on Gu Xingping's face was a bit dazzling, thinking of that kid
From the look in his little sister's eyes, he is also a man, and there is something wrong with him at first glance.
"What bad thoughts can people have? I think Fourth Brother, you eat more food than anyone else." Gu Xingping immediately returned it unhappily: "Also, people have names, so don't bite the bottom of the beer bottle, do you understand?
Do you know how to respect people?"
"I don't know how to respect people? He!" Gu Xingye almost said with a bald mouth that his pig was going to eat his own cabbage, but when he thought about his little sister, he didn't even think about it. What if he reminded her?
The idea was outrageous, so I stopped talking immediately.
Gu Xingping asked: "What happened to him?"
"It's nothing, I just don't like him. You should have less contact with him in the future."
When Gu Xingping heard this, she immediately lost her temper: "He is my friend. Besides, why do you dislike him when he provokes you? If you think I will go back, I will tell my mother that you bullied me."
When he heard that she was going to complain, Gu Xingye's face turned dark: "You are just a complainer, what else can you do besides complaining?"
After listening to this for a while, Chen Lishu had already figured out the general idea. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little tense, she hurriedly said, "Your fourth brother is probably also worried that your playfulness will affect your studies. He is just too nervous, so his attitude is not very good."
"That's right, the third sister-in-law is like a dog biting Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart."
"I'm going to tell my mother that you called me a dog!"
Gu Xingye: "..."
After dinner, Gu Xingping did not let Chen Lishu clean up the kitchen. Instead, she drove them back to have a good rest and stayed to clean up herself.
Chen Lishu was indeed a little tired, so she didn't argue with her. She got up and went back to the house, lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
After a good night's sleep, when she woke up the next day, Gu Xingping had already eaten breakfast and gone to school. When Gu Xingye saw her coming out, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the food is still hot in the pot."
"Yes." Chen Lishu nodded, washed up first, and then went to the kitchen to have a quick bite. After eating, Chen Lishu remembered that the batch of fabrics she had mailed back had been picked up by Gu Xingye two days ago.
Looking at the four big bags on the ground and thinking about how long it would take for a sewing machine to use so much fabric, Chen Lishu decided to go to the department store to buy another sewing machine, but it was not easy to get sewing tickets.
"Third sister-in-law, are you going out?" Gu Xingye was listening to the storytelling on the radio and looked up when he saw her leaving with her bag on her shoulder.
"Well, I'm going to the department store." Chen Lishu said, suddenly thinking that if she bought a sewing machine, she would have to get it back. She would definitely not be able to move fifty or sixty kilograms of things, so she captured Gu Xingye as a laborer: "Fourth brother
If you have nothing to do, just come with me. I want to buy another sewing machine, so you can help me carry it back."
"Okay." Gu Xingye responded happily and turned off the radio and followed Chen Lishu out.
The sky outside was gloomy, as if a snowstorm was brewing. The two went to the department store. Chen Lishu directly asked the staff about the manager's office, and then walked towards the manager's office with Gu Xingye.
"Who are you?" Nan Haitao saw Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye coming in and pushed down the metal glasses on the bridge of their noses.
When Chen Lishu saw the fair and elegant young Nan Haitao across from her, she subconsciously touched the specially prepared large cigarettes in her pocket, hesitated and finally did not take them out.
"Hello, Manager Nan, I want to buy a sewing machine, but..." Chen Lishu gave him an embarrassed smile.
Nan Haitao understood: "You don't have a ticket, right?"
Chen Lishu nodded, took two steps towards Nan Haitao, and quickly put the roll of money she had prepared in advance into his pocket: "See if you can help me think of a way."
Chen Lishu actually wanted to go to the black market, because that’s where she bought her last sewing ticket from Zhou Bin. The reason why she didn’t go to the black market was that she had nothing to exchange now, and she wanted to buy it from others at a high price.
When sewing air tickets, it is better to go directly to the manager in charge, eliminating the need for middlemen to earn the price difference, and get it done in one step. If it really doesn't work, think of other ways.
Nan Haitao watched Chen Lishu approaching. Before he could figure out the situation, something was stuffed in his pocket. When he took it out, he saw it was money. He frowned and threw the money on the table in front of him. Then he raised his head and looked at Chen Lishu with a stern face: "Business
