Chapter 10: Speak out against the Third Uncle

Wang Gensheng opened his arms, hugged He Yushui in his arms and said softly to comfort her: "No, we will sell watermelons for a few days and save some money to earn some living expenses first."

"When the time comes, I will find a stable job, or open a public-private joint-venture fruit shop, expand my business, and when you marry me, I will definitely let you be the boss's wife!"

"Who wants to be the boss's wife? I just want you to be well."

Originally, both of them were immersed in this warm atmosphere.

But a passing middle-aged woman coughed and immediately brought them back to reality. He Yushui blushed and broke free from Wang Gensheng's embrace.

Wang Gensheng also came to his senses. This was not 50 years later. In today's very conservative society, their action seemed a little out of line, especially in this public place, so he immediately let go.

When it was getting dark, Wang Gensheng pulled a borrowed cart and was about to leave the courtyard, saying that he was going to buy some watermelons from someone else.

He Yuzhu still walked forward with concern, pulled the other handle of the cart and said, "I'd better go with you. It's late at night, what if you let the joint defense team catch you again? If there is no one to inform them, they will lock you up and we won't know where to find you."

Wang Gensheng didn't think so. If He Yuzhu didn't follow him, he could just turn a corner and find a place to hide.

When it gets dark, take out the watermelons from the system space, put them on the cart, and drag them back to the courtyard.

However, if I bring He Yuzhu along, I will have to stay away from them, which will undoubtedly increase my risk of being exposed.

"The other party said that they would only trade with me and would not allow me to bring anyone else with me," Wang Gensheng said to He Yuzhu.

"Everyone says I'm stupid, but sometimes I think you're even more stupid than me. I'll hide in a corner before I get to the place, and you can just push the cart to find them to trade. How will they know I'm following you if I don't show up?"

In desperation, Wang Gensheng could only take He Yuzhu with him.

Looking at He Yushui standing at the gate of the courtyard and waving to the two people, the two people also waved and told her to go home and wait.

The deaf old lady, leaning on a cane, also stood at the entrance of the courtyard. She watched the two people walk away and said to He Yushui, "A prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold. Wang Gensheng has learned well and is motivated. Our teaching is not in vain."

With a tearful tone in her voice, He Yushui held the arm of the deaf old lady and said, "Grandma, you have to be careful when you sell watermelons at the Pigeon Market tomorrow. If it really doesn't work, we can just throw the watermelons away, but don't let anyone catch them."

The deaf old lady patted He Yushui's hand and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Grandma is so old, even if the joint defense team really catches me, they can't do anything to me. I am a martyr's relative and a five-guarantee household! They can't accuse me of speculation just because I bought a watermelon, right?"

Knowing that the old lady had made up her mind, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would be useless. Moreover, this involved Wang Gensheng, who had finally made progress. He couldn't just say something to discourage him, could he?

Let Wang Gensheng hang out on the streets again? Being idle is even worse. When will it end?

So He Yushui shook his head and stopped persuading him.

The two of them pushed a cart with a dozen watermelons and returned to the courtyard. Yan Bugui was preparing to close the gate. He Yuzhu walked up and shouted, "Uncle San, you're here to close the gate so early. Wait for us."

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at the two people pulling the cart and said, "I saw you two pushing the cart out earlier, and I thought you were back. Why are you out so late?"

Wang Gensheng stepped forward and said jokingly, "Your uncle knows everything about astronomy and geography. What did we do when we went out? You can tell by counting on your fingers."

Yan Bugui was confused by what he said. It sounded like he was praising himself for his knowledge. But after thinking about it carefully, he slapped his thigh and explained hurriedly: "I dare not say that. We can't promote superstition. If the neighborhood committee hears about this, our courtyard will definitely be criticized and educated."

Although he said this, when he saw the dozen or so green watermelons on the cart pulled by the two men, Yan Bugui's mouth began to drool.

He had just eaten watermelon this morning and was savoring the taste. He saw the two people bringing back a dozen or so, rubbed his hands, and asked knowingly, "Where did you two get so many watermelons? Wait a minute, I'll go to your place and bring two."

The two were stunned by what he said. He Yuzhu said, "Uncle, this is wrong. You are a civilized person. How can you come up to my house and move watermelons like this?"

Wang Gensheng stepped forward, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "What are you talking about, Zhuzi? Our Third Uncle is a people's teacher with high moral standards. How could he ask for our money for nothing? He meant to come to our house to buy two watermelons."

Then Wang Gensheng turned around, looked at Yan Bugui and asked, "Did I say anything wrong, Uncle? Just come and feel free. I have plenty of watermelons at home. I'll give you a discount, 1 yuan each. I'll bring as many as you want."

After being praised and criticized by Wang Gensheng, Yan Bugui didn't know how to respond and could only smile awkwardly.

After watching the two men pull the cart into the yard, he reluctantly closed the gate behind him and never mentioned again about moving two watermelons from their home.

When Yan Bugui returned home, Auntie poked her head out from under the quilt and asked, "Old Yan, who were you talking to just now?"

"Who else could it be? Sha Zhu and Wang Gensheng."

After hearing this, the third aunt asked in confusion: "Wang Gensheng and He Yuzhu are not supposed to pee together, so how come they are together now?"

"Who knows? The two were fighting yesterday, and Wang Gensheng hit Lao Yi on the back of the head with a brick. This morning, Sha Zhu brought a watermelon and said it was from Wang Gensheng."

"It seems that the two of them were mixed up because of this matter."

"Oh, then you said you were going to move two watermelons, why are you back now?"

Yan Bugui felt embarrassed.

"I am a respected elementary school teacher. I cannot take anything from her. Go to sleep. Why are you thinking so much?"

After being scolded by Yan Bugui, the third aunt stuck out her tongue, said nothing more, turned her head, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

After pulling the cart into the courtyard of his house, Wang Gensheng blocked the moon gate with a board.

The purpose is only to prevent stray dogs and Jia Bang's stalks!
