Hundreds of rivers return to the sea, I return to you + Fanwai

What they collected were only three big blue crabs weighing about two catties, and a few small octopuses.Looking at today's harvest, Li Siyu was so happy that he almost lost his way.

Li Siyu carried a bucket and took Xie Qingyao to the small market. She was wearing a half-worn straw hat but Xie Qingyao didn't wear anything. There was sweat on her forehead and even a ring around her neck. sweat stains.Li Siyu was afraid that she would get sunburned, so he took off his hat and put it on the head of Xie Qingyao who was walking in front of her.

Xie Qingyao was taken aback for a moment, looked at Li Siyu with joy in her eyes, and then happily walked a little faster.

They tied the crabs with ropes in an inconspicuous corner, and squatted together to discuss what to cook at home, and what to sell the crabs to buy for home later.

Suddenly Xie Qingyao stopped talking, and Li Siyu followed her gaze.It was a little girl with a ponytail, her face was a little dirty, her trousers and clothes were patched, and her exposed shoes were also cracked.There was a pile of radishes with leaves in front of her, and a small pile of green vegetables beside them, but these radishes were not good in appearance and were not big, so many people didn't even look at them.On the contrary, the green vegetables are juicy and juicy, and there are obviously more people buying them than radishes.Li Siyu patted Xie Qingyao: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, let's buy that pile of radishes back later." Xie Qingyao simply sat on the ground and said.

"Why do you buy so many radishes and go back home? I can't eat them anymore. Is it possible to eat radishes every day?" Li Siyu asked strangely.

Xie Qingyao: "If you can't finish eating, you can make some pickled radishes and keep it. Just treat that little girl as a favor."

Few people would wear patched clothes in this day and age, and the little girl didn't look too old. Li Siyu agreed to Xie Qingyao's words after thinking about it and wanted to buy a bunch of radishes, provided that their crabs could be sold today. go out.

After waiting for a while, when Li Siyu's stomach was already growling with hunger, someone finally noticed them in the corner.It's not that they don't want to find a good position, but that it's pretty good to have a position to sell things to them, and it's enough to be a human being.

The person who came was a man in his 30s. Around his neck was a gold bar as thick as a little finger. He was holding a lychee-patterned clutch bag in his hand, and he was wearing a floral shirt.

"How do you sell crabs?" He looked down at the bucket and asked.

"41 catties." Li Siyu replied.

"So expensive?" The man pretended to be surprised.

Xie Qingyao on the side frowned beautifully, this is already considered cheap.Seafood in coastal areas is cheaper than other places, and usually such a large crab can be sold for at least 61 catties.

"Look at this head, 41 catties is already the lowest price. If you think it's too expensive, there are a few goods that have just been sold in front of you, you can go over there and have a look." Li Siyu said slowly and ignored the man. Firstly, the man obviously wanted to bargain, secondly, Li Siyu was so hungry that he had no energy left.

Hearing what Li Siyu said, the man didn't leave. He turned over the crab and found that there were four or five octopus in the bucket. He clapped his eyelids and looked up as if he was calculating something, and finally said: "How about I put all the crabs in the bucket?" If you buy it, you can count it as 31 catties. These octopuses will be given to me as a gift. In business, you have to give up to get something.”

"According to the market price, these octopuses are five yuan each. We are at a loss, so we won't sell them." Li Siyu was a little angry, and he spoke faster.

Xie Qingyao patted her buttocks and stood up, her face was red, she heard Li Siyu's stomach growling.Xie Qingyao was very annoyed by this man's dawdling appearance, so she hurried to chase him away: "If you don't sell it, don't sell it, let's go."

Generally, people who can’t agree on a business deal have left long ago, but the man in front of him is so thick-skinned that he still wants to buy their crabs at a lower price, so he gritted his teeth and said, “Is 35 a catty okay? I don't want any fish either." After he finished speaking, he took the money into his handbag.

Li Siyu obviously didn't meet such a difficult and annoying customer, she was a little at a loss.Xie Qingyao picked up the bucket, pulled Li Siyu up and left, at worst the crabs would not be sold.

Xie Qingyao and the others were already far away by the time the man was looking for money from the bag, so he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, stop! Crab seller!"

Xie Qingyao clenched her fists, thinking about whether she was going to beat him up later, but hearing the voice behind her, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a feasible solution.

This is the time when many fishermen sell their goods, so the small market is very lively.The man's voice was loud, causing many people to look at them, and finally an aunt who was shopping for vegetables stopped them: "Do you sell crabs?"

Xie Qingyao looked at the flickering floral shirts in the crowd, and nodded: "Sell, 51 catties." After Xie Qingyao finished speaking, Li Siyu took her hand, Xie Qingyao understood what she meant but she didn't Li Siyu was ignored.

The aunt looked at it for a while, and the crab was big. She thought that 51 catties would not be a loss, so she said, "Give it all to me. How many catties are there in total?"

This question caught the two of them, because they forgot to bring their scales, Li Siyu licked his lips and said, "Let's count you six catties, there is absolutely no amount."

The aunt smiled, and handed over the vegetable basket, Xie Qingyao put the crabs in for her.

"Give me these octopuses together," said the aunt.

"It's 320 five in total, count you three hundred and two." Xie Qingyao wiped the sweat on her neck after finishing the calculation, then took the money from her hand and pulled Li Siyu to go home, regardless of that Floral shirts for men too.I even forgot to buy the radish that I promised to buy.

"Aren't the crabs 41 catties? Why do you..." Li Siyu asked Xie Qingyao after walking for a while.

"Are you stupid? Why are you having trouble with money? Auntie doesn't seem to be short of money, and what I gave is a fair price, and everyone else sells it for 61 catties!" After Xie Qingyao finished speaking, she squeezed Li Siyu's face, and pulled Followed Li Siyu to the ice cream place.

He was sunburnt, and he was a little sluggish, so he had to eat an ice cream to slow down.It's just the beginning of spring and the weather is so hot, how can it be summer.Xie Qingyao paid for ice cream while thinking about it.

After eating the ice cream, Xie Qingyao went to hold Li Siyu's hand again.She didn't let go of Li Siyu's hand until the door of the house. After putting the bucket away, she stood by the well and washed her hands and face.After the heat from all over his body dissipated, he got into the kitchen and started making dinner.

Dinner was delicious beef noodles with sauerkraut. The sauerkraut was delivered by Xu Nanqiu two days ago.The sauerkraut is appetizing, coupled with large beef cubes, it is so delicious that people can't wait to bite their tongues off.When Xu Nanqiu came, he also mentioned Liu Shuiyu, but Li Siyu smiled and didn't talk to him.Because Liu Shuiyu hardly had any special acquaintances in the village, everyone didn't pay much attention to her disappearance. It was just that she and Aunt Xu had a big fight and moved out without a word.

Huang Xiaobai worked very quickly, except for the first few pits dug that were not planted properly, the rest looked decent.In a few days, it had already planted five-element tomatoes, and there were few tomato seeds left in its hand, so it patted its buttocks and ran in to ask Xie Qingyao how to grow peppers.But Xie Qingyao doesn’t know how to plant it either. In the end, Li Siyu took the phone and told it to plant chili peppers first by spreading the chili seeds in the soil. When the seedlings grow more than ten centimeters, they can be separated and then dig a hole. Just bury it and water it.

Everything was normal at first, but when Xie Qingyao was sleeping, a dead mouse was found from under her pillow.She wasn't afraid of mice and cockroaches, but it was inevitable that she felt a little uncomfortable.What's even more puzzling is that for three days in a row, dead mice would appear under her pillow. Xie Qingyao searched around with the mouse's tail, and then saw Huang Xiaobai covering his face on the window sill, and felt nothing at all. knew.

"What do you want to do?" she asked.

"Don't you like dead mice? Then I'll give you a frog next time." If Huang Xiaobai hadn't answered too seriously, Xie Qingyao almost thought it was a new way to punish people.

Xie Qingyao threw the dead mouse to Huang Xiaobai, ground her molars, tried her best not to get angry: "I don't want frogs, don't put these weird things under my pillow, be careful I'll beat you! "Xie Qingyao finished speaking, ignoring Huang Xiaobai's hurt eyes and closed the curtains.

Later, I saw a documentary about cats on TV. It said that if a cat gave its owner something like a dead mouse, it meant that it felt that the owner had no ability to hunt and would starve to death. But Xie Qingyao thought about it from a different angle. Perhaps Huang Xiaobai regarded her as one of his own.So she deliberately expressed her desire for a bouquet of flowers while eating, and as expected, she found a bunch of yellow rapeseed flowers and Huang Xiaobai's smiling face on the windowsill.

Chapter 12

Ever since Huang Xiaobai gave Xie Qingyao a bunch of rapeseed flowers, Xie Qingyao felt uncomfortable all over.She tried her best to stay by Li Siyu's side.
