MTL - I am a Good Man-Chapter 516 The husband of an educated youth (9)
Ye Jiao suddenly hid the money again, still a little nervous, and that appearance made him laugh straight.
"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 sighed, "Then we won't sell it anymore?"
Although I earn a little bit less, but compared to a few cents a day at work, this is not a hard job.
"Not for the time being." Ji Yang said, pulling her aside, "Let's go shopping today."
She was taken by him to the state-run store.
The two dressed casually, and they also carried bamboo baskets. Compared with the workers coming and going, and some fashionable women, there was a gap.
Ye Jiao was a little embarrassed. He felt that others were looking at them with colored eyes. He took his hand and whispered, "Let's go."
If they don’t sell bean toothache sprouts, they will lose a large sum of money into the account, and the money will be kept, so they can’t spend it indiscriminately.
"I bought some snacks for you." Ji Yang didn't have any special reaction, insisting to take her in.
In the face of two strangers, even if they look down on them, they will only silently despise them in my heart.
Some people will slow down and watch what these two country folks are going to buy.
It's nothing more than satisfying one's own sense of superiority.
"Let's go." Ye Jiao was still shaking his 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 more?" he asked, turning his head.
The people next to them all watched and frowned. Don't these two country folks know how much these things cost?
With this purchase, a worker’s half-month’s salary is gone.
Ye Jiao didn't speak, feeling distressed about the money. Seeing Ji Yang stretched out her hand to the other side, she quickly said, "No more, just a small packet of hawthorn slices."
Ji Yang changed his hand and took a pack of hawthorn slices.
The people next to them secretly looked forward to their embarrassment when they checked out. The people in the city still felt that the country folks were ignorant, they had mud legs, and they were far from them.
I saw that the man paid the money calmly, as if he had expected it, and the woman next to him looked down at the snacks, without any other expressions.
If you say yes, you want to eat it in your little eyes.
The two left again.
The man on the second row of shelves witnessed the whole process and looked at a small box of chocolates in his hand. He wanted to buy it as a gift for his blind date. He wanted to compare here for a long time. Isn't it as good as a country boy?
It's certainly not the first time someone has come to buy it so calmly.
After Ye Jiao finished the exam, he was much more relaxed. Ji Yang went to the mountains to catch a few fish from time to time, and picked up a dozen catties of bean sprouts to sell.
It's just that the income is greatly reduced, sometimes only two or three yuan, and he still buys this and that for her, all of which have to be posted in.
That old grandma sold 15 cents and five jin every day, and quickly drove away three young men. The mung beans were not cheap, and she could only buy seven or eight jin in a month at work.
Can't afford to lose.
When Ji Yang sells fish, he ignores her. Most of the time, he buys fish to get bean sprouts. It doesn't matter how much the other party sells.
Ye Jiao also accepted his fate, so let's live like this. Although there is a little gap, it doesn't matter, they also have a little savings.
I thought that Ji Yang didn't know what was going on this day, and asked her to soak five catties of mung beans, and now she usually soaks one catty.
"Pubbing, I'll go to the mountains." He took the bamboo basket and left the house with ink.
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, his trousers were covered with loess, Ye Jiao quickly walked up, "What did you do?"
"Dig wild yam." Ji Yang walked into the house and drank a large glass of water at once.
"Yam?" Ye Jiao leaned over to see that there were really roots of yam in the bamboo basket, the skin mixed with loess.
"So much..." Ye Jiao was happy and could eat for a long time.
"I have been digging some in a row these days, and when that time comes I will bring bean sprouts and fish to the town to sell." Ji Yang stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat.
"Do you want to sell these too?" Ye Jiao didn't expect this layer, "Can this be sold?"
In my impression, people don't often eat this kind of food.
"Why not? It is wild and natural. It can be used as medicine or in soup, and can be eaten when fried." Ji Yang took out from the bamboo basket, "I will prepare some earthworms and go fishing tomorrow morning."
"Will it be too hard? You don't have to work so hard." She looked worried, fearing that Ji Yang's body would be overwhelmed.
"It's no hard work. You're going to college soon. I'm going to save you tuition. Some people in the city still look down on us, so you can't let others look down on you." Ji Yang squatted down, taking it for granted.
Ye Jiao's nose was sour, and he walked over and threw him on his back.
The tip of my heart feels numb.
"It's dirty." Ji Yang leaned forward, trying to pull her away, but Ye Jiao didn't know he was ashamed, so he wanted to rub against him, burying his head on his shoulder, inevitably feeling emotional, and his words were dull, "Then I I’m not going to college anymore, I can be here with you, we can build a new house and give you a baby."
She feels that going to university is nothing good, and she will have to come back by then. He is twenty-five and sixty-five, and he has no home anyway, and no one cares whether she is in school or not, so just spend time with him.
Although she had longed for a new life before and felt that she could live a new life, she is not bad now, and she does not understand the future of studying.
"What are you talking about?" Ji Yang took her hand away, turned around and yelled, "Follow me to dig in the ground?"
"There is nothing wrong with that?" she retorted.
In her opinion, there is nothing to be done. It takes four years to enter the university and go to a strange city, and only herself.
"Say it again?" Ji Yang squinted, picking up the stick next to him, hating that iron can't make steel, "Who am I working so hard for? If you don't pass the exam, you will go to the exam next year. Test."
He was serious, but Ye Jiao slowly curled his eyebrows.
"Laughing!" He was so angry, "You are delicious and delicious, but I don't expect you to stand out."
Seeing his appearance as an elder, Ye Jiao reminded him, "I am your daughter-in-law, not your daughter."
In other words, the prominence is not his family's glorious ancestor.
"Your prominence is my child's **** prominence, it is my child's prominence, and the ancestors smoke." Ji Yang raised his voice to unify the lesson.
Ye Jiao smiled happily, "But there is no child. It will take four years to go to university."
Ji Yang pondered for a moment, "Like this wine, the longer it is brewed, the more valuable and fragrant it will be."
Ye Jiao: "..."
What kind of metaphor?
On the fifth day, the mung beans had grown into bean sprouts. The two picked up bean sprouts, yam and fish, and went to the town’s black market.
"Sell bean sprouts, bean sprouts for 30 cents a catty."
"Sell bean sprouts."
The old grandma was yelling.
"Isn't it just a dime two days ago? The price increase is so much?" The person who walked to the stall had already frowned.
The 30 cents is not expensive, it's just that it has fallen too much in the first two days, and now it has risen again, which makes people feel uncomfortable and always feel at a loss.
"Mung beans are expensive. Mung beans are only a few kilograms per piece. This year's harvest is not good." The grandmother explained, "A kilogram?"
Ye Jiao glanced around, and now there was only the old woman selling bean sprouts on the street.
The original lads have disappeared.
Ji Yang was right, she really sold at a loss and then occupied the market by herself, but this method was too shameless.
"Two cents." The man was still bargaining in front of the grandma's booth.
"Two cents can't be sold." She hadn't seen the two of Ji Yang at this time, thinking that she was the only one selling, and she was a bit arrogant.
The man looked around and saw that someone had picked bean sprouts down the street. He turned his head and left, "It's fine."
At this time, the old grandmother saw the man walking to the other side, her eyes stared suddenly, this young man, isn't she coming? Why are you here again?
"How much is a catty of bean sprouts?" The man stood in front of Ji Yang's booth and said directly.
"Bean sprouts and three hairs." Ji Yang replied, and then said again, "Fresh river fish is four hairs and five catties, wild yam is four hairs and a catty, buy a fish to get one catty of bean sprouts, and buy a catty of wild yam to get half a catty of bean sprouts. "
No matter how the account is calculated, it is worthwhile. 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 refreshed.
The man pointed, and Ji Yang shook his head, "This one is too small to send a catty of bean sprouts, but one over there is fine."
"Then what you said."
Ji Yang walked over, picked it up, and weighed it, "One catty nine taels, this section of yam? Take it back and make the soup very nourishing."
"Eight cents and five cents plus four cents, count you one and two." Ji Yang said, and Ye Jiao handed over the packed bean sprouts.
The man is happy to pay.
Two catties of bean sprouts are already six cents, which is equivalent to buying a fish and one catty of yam with an additional six cents, which is very cost-effective.
Then someone asked about the price one after another. Some people thought that fish and yam were too expensive, but the bean sprouts were at the same price as the grandma, so they were still willing to buy them.
Selling quickly, Ye Jiao slowly got a stack of money tickets in his hand.
The old grandmother not far away was jealous when they saw that they were taking the money, and they wanted to sell her bean sprouts on a big deal, her face was calm, and her mouth was still muttering.
In this way, it would be difficult for Ji Yang to sell bean sprouts alone, but he sells them in combination, and the other party's lowering of prices will not affect him too much. Now there are only about 20 kilograms of bean sprouts left. Not in a hurry.
Big deal, wait till she sells out and sell herself.
In the next few days, he only took 30 kilograms of bean sprouts and sold them in combination every day. Even if the other party sold them for a dime to a catty or a dime to a catty, it would not affect his sales.
Even the mung beans grown by my own family can't bear such a loss.
Going later, that old grandma is gone.
Now, Ji Yang began to carry dozens of kilograms every day, and no one would affect his sales.
It receives dozens of yuan every day.
This day.
Ye Jiao and Ji Yang had just returned home. Before they were sitting and drinking, someone from the village came and shouted, "Yoko, Yoko, your daughter-in-law is admitted to college."
Ji Yang hurried to open the door, "Really?"
"Isn't it true? The town is full of cadres. They say that they have taken the third place in the city and can still go to the Imperial University." The man was also excited, "Hurry over and take a look."
"Walk around." 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, and they were admitted to the university, and their expressions were unconcealed with excitement.
The cadres in the town looked at Ye Jiao and said something to congratulate Ye Jiao, saying that she had won honor and also got a bonus.
It's wrapped in a red envelope, and I don't know how much money it has.
Xu Qijie looked at her from the side. For more than a year, she seemed to have not changed, and she seemed to have changed again. At this time, she was smiling, even more dazzling in the hot sun.
All of a sudden, news that Ji Yang and his daughter-in-law were taking a college entrance examination spread throughout the village, and even several villages next door knew about it.
Zhang Yan refused to let her go, so she pulled her father into trouble.
The imperial capital.
Can you come back?
"That notice, Yoko, you bring it to mom, and mom tore it, hurry up and have a baby with her, what kind of book to read?" Zhang Yan slapped her thigh in a hurry, pointing at Ye Jiao to curse. "You woman, you have been married to my house for two years, and you don't have to have children. Now since you are going to go for four years! To study, you have to spend money to support her, and you are here to harm our house!"
What is the concept of four years?
Country folks got married and had children when they were a teenager. Ji Yang is 22 this year, and he will be 26 in four years. When the time comes, he will have to be close to 30 years old.
How many have been born at the age of 30? The children can work on the ground.
Ye Jiao was taken back by Ji Yang, and Ji's father was smoking a cigarette, and his tone was calm, "Don't go, don't make people laugh."
Ji Yang waited for her at home for four years, and no one else knew what to say about their home.
"Why don't you go?" Ji Yang was dissatisfied, "If I want to go, I will go with her."
"What the hell?" Father Ji's face suddenly changed, his expressions and expressions violent.
