Back to 80s bride

Chapter 38 Meeting an Acquaintance

Chen Minghui and Qian Yu took the earliest bus to go to the town. There were not many people on the early bus, and only a few sporadically returned to the town to go to work.The bus was wobbly, Qian Yu was also in a daze, and his little head was bit by bit.

Chen Minghui looked funny, thinking that the chicken pecking rice is the same.But he didn't dare to tell Qian Yu, for fear of making him angry early in the morning, he just stretched out his hand and put Qian Yu's little head on his shoulder.

"When you're sleepy, just sleep on my shoulder. It takes an hour or so to get to the town. You can catch up on your sleep. I'll call you when you arrive."

Qian Yu shook his head vigorously twice, but his upper and lower eyelids seemed to be stuck with glue, and he couldn't open them no matter what.He lay his pillow on Chen Minghui's shoulder, thinking that he was so used to Chen Minghui that he was so ugly.Chen Minghui got up early to make breakfast, and only called him after the table and chopsticks were set.He was in charge of eating when he woke up, but now that he got in the car, the one who got up early didn't make up for sleep, and let him wait for the ready-made sleep in.I used to live with Li Cui, no matter how early I got up, but since I was with Chen Minghui, Chen Minghui became the one who got up early and cooked, and he was always the one who did everything right and told me to get up and eat. As a result, I got used to myself not getting up early.

However, Chen Minghui didn't think that he was used to Qian Yu, but felt that what he had done was far from enough. Compared with Qian Yu who lost his life for him in the previous life, what he had done was far worse.In his previous life, the living conditions he provided to that bitch Hao Ying were much better than this.When Hao Ying was with him, she didn't worry about making a living. She would give her the best of everything he could give. Even so, Hao Ying always had to pick out a lot of things.But when he came to Qian Yu, from the first meeting to the present, he gave everything within his ability, and now Qian Yu was required to work hard with him, but Qian Yu was not satisfied, thinking that he had fallen into the heap of blessings.

Chen Minghui's eyes darkened, and he looked down at Qian Yu who was sleeping on his shoulder and softened again.

He has to work harder and harder.

When the bus arrived at the station, Chen Minghui still had to wake Qian Yu up no matter how reluctant he was.

"Xiaoyu, we are here."

Qian Yu rubbed his eyes, obviously not awake and obediently followed behind Chen Minghui. Chen Minghui was afraid that he would fall in a daze, so he went to hold his hand, and at the same time took off his backpack and carried it on his body.

Only then did Qian Yu regain consciousness, and hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag and said, "No, I carry it by myself, it's just that some food doesn't weigh too much."

Qian Yu's pocket looked bulging, but there was nothing in it, just some steamed buns and vegetables in two aluminum lunch boxes.Everything was so heavy that it was in the bag Chen Minghui was carrying and the bag he was carrying. Inside were their change of clothes, double quilt, textbooks and food.They brought the most food, and those who didn't know thought that the place they were going to was a barren land. With so much, they were afraid that someone would be hungry.

Chen Minghui didn't insist either, and entered the department store in the town while holding Qian Yu's hand tightly.The staff in the department store at this point have just come to work, they are sparse, and shopping is not crowded.

The two of them didn't look at anything else, and went straight to the food area.

"Xiaoyu, there are sausages." The department store at this time is not the department store of the later generations. You can get what you want, or you can only pay for it, and he can make it if you don't have it. Department stores in the 80s were often out of stock. If you want to eat meat, you have to wait. It is not every day. It is also a surprise to catch up with sausages.Chen Minghui took a look and saw that there were only ten sticks on the counter, and he didn't know if there were any in stock. He waved his hand and said directly without asking the price: "I want it all, how much is it?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect two children to be able to buy so many things. No one's life is tight these days, and there are not many adults who are so extravagant, let alone children.But looking at Chen Minghui and Qian Yu's attire, he felt relieved. These days, those who put on new clothes and leather shoes for their children are people with good conditions and backgrounds.

In this way, those who come out of this family are children, and the waiters dare not underestimate them.Therefore, the attitude is quite good, "13 yuan, ten catties of meat slices."

The money is second, the meat ticket is the main thing, but Chen Minghui is not bad for meat slices. He made a lot of meat tickets when he did business last time, and then returned to the village and handed it over to Qian Yu. A little while is enough.

He had some change and bills in his outer pocket, and now he turned them out and handed them to the waiter.

Chen Minghui said again: "Look, Xiaoyu, there is still canned food. This thing is rare. We are so lucky. What kind of canned food is this waiter?"

The waiter said: "There are only two bottles of canned meat and canned fish left. I didn't see them under the box yesterday."

Chen Minghui said happily: "This is luck. We, Xiaoyu, should be lucky. I want all of them."

Turning around and pointing at the toffee, he said, "Big White Rabbit, give me a catty. Also, do you have white sugar here? I want half a catty."

Qian Yu hurriedly said: "You bought the big white rabbit milk candy, what do you need white sugar for? How can we eat with white sugar on the train, we can't stick it with our hands."

Chen Minghui explained with a smile: "There is hot water on the train that you can drink with sugar water. We take the train for a long time. I'm afraid you will get angry after sitting for a long time, and you won't be able to drink plain water. You can just drink sugar water."

Unexpectedly, Qian Yu was not happy to hear his explanation like this, but was full of annoyance instead.

"The last time you took the car by yourself, you didn't say anything, but you only brought cornmeal buns."

"Didn't I say that I didn't dare to bring it myself for fear of being missed by others. Now the two of us don't have this concern. Besides, the two of us will eat the things we bought when we get on the train. Is it possible that you still have to eat alone? I eat."

"Let me go..." Several men with big arms and round waists came over carrying pork. Chen Minghui and Qian Yu hurriedly avoided, and they threw the meat on the chopping board.Not worried about the two children Chen Minghui and Qian Yu, he directly said to the waitress: "This newly slaughtered pig, have you informed your relatives to come earlier? If you come late, there will be no good meat. If you order the meat later The scum is gone."

The waitress nodded, "I have notified you a long time ago. It just so happens that a relative of mine is going to have a banquet these days. We agreed to come early and buy some big fat meat."

"What about you? You don't keep some for yourself. This pork is not available all the time. It took more than two months to kill such a pig. After a while, those people outside will have to find it by smell."

The waitress said: "I keep two catties of fat and thin for myself, you can help me choose a few good places."

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry."

In just a few words, a group of people suddenly rushed in, and the waitress' face suddenly sank, "Oh, come on, so many people are here, why doesn't my uncle come? If he doesn't come, there will be no good meat." Looking up with his feet up, he finally saw a familiar figure from the crowd, and immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, here."

Seeing her uncle and the waitress felt confident, and she didn't have to wait for her uncle to squeeze over, pointing directly at the fat place and said: "Cut me two catties here, the meat here is fat, it's best for cooking noodles." .”

"Give me two catties, and cut some more fat..."

"I want a catty, you post it here and cut it for me, there is a lot of fat..."

"I want half a catty, can I get fat..."

After such a short time, a group of people crowded up. The man had just cut off the meat, and before he had time to hand it to the waitress at the side, someone started to grab it.

"This piece of meat is so fat, give it to me, mine."

The man dodged and scolded, "What are you doing, buying meat or grabbing it? It's someone else's."

The woman's eyes were fixed on the piece of meat, and it was really that the piece of meat was cut too eccentrically, and the fat accounted for two-thirds.People in this day and age don't have enough oil and water. Looking at fat meat, my eyes glow green.

"I'm in the first place. Of course, the meat should come next to me."

"It's not yours anyway." The man said impatiently, looking over his head, the waitress' uncle was still in the crowd.

A woman is also a pungent character, it is really that the meat is cut too eccentrically, and there is too much fat, it looks like it is reserved for related households, she is really unwilling to give up like this, wanting to make a fuss, maybe it will happen , "Why is it not mine? There should be a first-come, first-served order when buying things. Is it possible that you still have to jump in the queue and sell to whoever has a relationship with you first. Then we worked so hard to queue up so early in the morning." How do you calculate, should you give way to your relatives?"

This is related to everyone's vital interests. If there is one more person in the front line, they will buy more meat. When they are in the line, they may not have good meat or can't buy it at all, so the people behind shouted: "Queue up!" Buy meat, line up for meat!"

Although the waiter is a very powerful profession at this time, and he often shows his face to the customers, but he still dare not do this kind of outrage.

The faces of the man and the waitress suddenly sank, as if they had caught a savior, the waitress pointed at Chen Minghui and said, "This kid came much earlier than you, he has been standing here before, it's up to you to give it to him directly." He passed by, and since you said that you have to line up to buy meat, first come, first served, you should all be behind this kid."

The waitress who asked for help winked at Chen Minghui. He was afraid that Chen Minghui would not help her, and said again: "Didn't you say you want to buy more, and someone else asked you to buy it. Let's see which one you like. That's it." I'll cut it for you. You're lucky, you're ranked first, fat meat."

Chen Minghui knew that she was implying that as long as he did this favor for her, he would take special care of him and cut off more fat.Unfortunately, he has to take the train soon, so buying pork is useless.However, Chen Minghui was willing to help with this favor, so he smiled and said, "I'm helping others line up, and the one who came with me went to the toilet. I don't want to buy them. It's just right for him to ask for these."

The waitress breathed a sigh of relief, and looked gratefully at Chen Minghui.

At this time, the uncle of the waitress also squeezed over, and Chen Minghui could be regarded as an acquaintance at first glance. He had gone to Haishi to sit on one of the two brothers opposite him.

The man squeezed over sweating profusely, and the waitress handed him the meat and complained, "Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to come earlier? If you don't come again, the fat will be taken away."

The man smiled, "Go slowly."

"You came here. Your home is in the countryside. It takes more than two hours to get here. How early you got up. Didn't you always take the bus before? Why didn't you take the bus?" The waitress seemed to think of something after she asked. , with a bad face, said: "I heard from my aunt that someone in your village urged you to go to Haishi to do business before, and my aunt and family members disagreed. If you insist on going, did you lose all the money? I said before that doing business is not a good thing. If you really make so much money, who will still work? Uncle, why don’t you listen to persuasion.” The waitress is the only girl in the family, and she is the youngest. Entering the department store again, everyone envied me even more.Gradually, his personality became very pampered, and he spoke freely, and now he scolded his uncle regardless of the occasion.

The waitress said: "You have to thank this kid, if it weren't for his meat, I wouldn't be able to keep it for you."

The man turned his head to thank him, seeing Chen Minghui's face froze, "Have we met somewhere before, I looked at you so kindly." After speaking, he saw the luggage bag under Chen Minghui's feet, and suddenly remembered.He opened his mouth wide in surprise, "You are that poor kid who also went to Haishi to do business, and only ate steamed buns along the way."

Chen Minghui's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his head to look at Qian Yu's expression. He was relieved that he didn't see any obvious abnormalities on Qian Yu's face.

"I'm not pitiful, and I only ate corned buns all the way because I went out alone and was afraid of being missed by thieves."

The waitress was also dissatisfied and said, "Uncle, what are you talking about? This kid bought ten catties of sausages, a can of canned fish and a can of meat, as well as a catty of white rabbit toffee and half a catty of white sugar. Are you looking at him?" From the leather shoes on his feet and the new clothes on his body, how can you tell how pitiful he is?"

The man had long noticed that this child was different from the one he met on the train. The one on the train was a dusty little boy selling matches, and the one in front of him was a little prince buying matches.

Suddenly the man felt a pain in his face. He still remembered that he told the child to take him into business and give him a few dollars a day to help him.It turned out that it was fortunate that the children didn't work with him, otherwise they would have accompanied him.But this kid fought alone, but he obviously made a profit.He didn't believe what the kid said that he was afraid of being targeted. Such an obvious change meant that he was making money by doing business.

As an adult, he actually lost to a child. The man's face was on fire, and he felt that it was already smoking.
