Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 11

Looking at Wang Zhaoyang with a gloomy face, Ling Yue said, "It's all right, don't be angry."

"I really didn't expect them to embarrass you while I was out!" Wang Zhaoyang paced a few steps irritably, "By the way, Xiaoyue, are you okay?"

"It's theirs who will suffer. No, she said in the water room in the afternoon that she wouldn't buy my fruit, and at night she made me an extra fortune. I'm so happy that it's too late!"

Twenty catties of pears is not much, but after careful calculation, I earned them more than four yuan with tears in my eyes.

If you have a grudge against anyone, you can't have a grudge against money.

Seeing Ling Yue's excited appearance, Wang Zhaoyang immediately felt relieved: "You, how did you think of shocking them?"

"Where did I say wrong?"

"Besides, it was Ji Xiaonian who wanted to hug me and let his wife beat me. I'm not a vegetarian. If he dares to do this, I can't shout?"

Wang Zhaoyang was silent.

"You did the right thing, keep yourself safe at all times."

While the two were talking, the water sitting on the fire began to whistle.

Ling Yue filled the thermos bottle with hot water and asked Wang Zhaoyang, "Do you still take a bath at night?"

"I don't wash in hot water, I just grab some cold water and rinse."

"Okay, then you should hurry up, I have to go get pears early tomorrow."

Wang Zhaoyang was stunned: "What are you talking about, you still want to sell pears?"

"Of course, even if I don't go to the market to set up a stall tomorrow, I will still sell along the street. You don't know, the business is much better if I deliver goods to your door than to stay in the market."

The important thing is that the price is still high.

In the market, there are peers lowering the prices of each other, but she is selling in the streets, and no one lowers the prices.

Even if someone lowered the price, she would sell it badly, and she would pass by with a few words.

Ling Yue counted today's money quickly, and immediately burst into joy: "The cost of two hundred catties of pears is 56 yuan, and I made 42 yuan angrily today!"

Wang Zhaoyang stared at her with wide-eyed eyes.

In just two days, she actually earned more than 70 yuan—this is almost two months' salary of her own!
"Tomorrow I have to buy a chicken for the Teeth Ceremony!" Ling Yue happily put away the money, and said to Tong Tong: "Tong Tong, mom will make you big chicken legs tomorrow!"

"Okay! I still want to eat meat!"

"Buy! Mom will go to the department store tomorrow to buy you two new clothes, okay?"

"Come on!"

Tongtong was so excited that she smacked one on her face on the spot.

"I'll buy you a shirt, too. The collar of this shirt is frayed on you."

Wang Zhaoyang froze immediately.

Ling Yue didn't mention it, he even forgot how many years he had worn this short-sleeved shirt.

He said unnaturally: "I don't need to buy it, just buy more new clothes for Tongtong."

"You are a technician anyway, how can you not dress better?"

Ling Yue said while preparing supplies for taking a bath, "You go out to represent the machinery factory. I don't care what you wear at home."

As for the men, they are all saving face, why don't they dress better?
Ling Yue knows that people in this age are used to being poor.

A piece of clothing is new for three years, old for three years, and sewed for three years.

Wang Zhaoyang dressed smartly, and he looked comfortable, not to mention that he was a handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Wang Zhaoyang still disagreed.

He looked at the clothes on her body and said, "Instead of buying them for me, I'd rather buy two for you. Look at your clothes, you are the worst dressed in the entire family courtyard."

"And you have to go out to sell fruit every day. If you don't dress well, you will be laughed at."

Ling Yue then looked down at her clothes.

When she first came here, Ling Xiaoyue piled up all her clothes, and the room was as messy as a garbage heap.

I really couldn't stand it, so I came to a big cleaning.

Although the suit on her body was a bit old, it was clean and tidy. Except for some wrinkled sleeves, she could accept everything else.

Immediately said: "I have this plan. I originally thought to buy it after the Mid-Autumn Festival. These two clothes can be used as work clothes."

Wang Zhaoyang said displeasedly: "Since you have to buy it sooner or later, why wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival? You can deal with yourself first and then talk about me."

Ling Yue watched him enter the bedroom with his face turned like a child, curled his lips, this man, he is virtuous!

Ling Yue did what she said.

Early the next morning, after setting up the stall, I went to the market to buy an old hen, and handled it neatly after closing the stall.

The chicken breast is stewed with potatoes, and the chicken offal is fried with sauerkraut to make a hot and sour chicken offal.

Chicken legs, chicken wings, and chicken feet are first fried until golden, then stewed in the chicken broth to taste, and a dipping dish is added to complete the meal.

When Wang Zhaoyang got off work at noon, he smelled a fragrance before entering the door.

Into the house, the smell is more intense.

"Yo, you really bought a chicken back?"

Tongtong was grabbing the chicken legs and eating deliciously, when she heard a voice, she turned her head and shouted at him sweetly: "Dad, you are back."

Wang Zhaoyang patted her head, sat down at the dining table, and looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes suddenly narrowed: "Xiaoyue, your cooking skills are improving! Don't talk about eating, this taste It just smells good."

Ling Yue handed him the well-served meal, and said with a smile, "Okay, you're hungry, eat quickly."

The three of them were eating when they suddenly heard Ji Xiaonian knocking on the door: "Brother Wang, are you home?"

As soon as Wang Zhaoyang opened the door, Ji Xiaonian grabbed him and said earnestly, "Brother Wang, you have to help me, I don't know who is talking about it today, talking about me in our workshop... "

He glanced at Ling Yue, choked up and said, "Now the factory is going to suspend my job, saying that I won't be allowed to work until I find out."

Ling Yue raised her eyebrows. She was so serious that she was suspended?
Huang Guixiang also came over, and she said tearfully, "Brother Wang, you must help my Xiaonian. If he is suspended, how will we live in the future!"

Wang Zhaoyang frowned: "Xiao Nian, what is going on here, you should explain clearly."

Ji Xiaonian said with a sad face: "I'm not going to work in the workshop today. As soon as I arrived at the workshop, Director Xiao came over, saying that I have a problem with my style, and that someone reported me to the factory manager for being a hooligan. No matter how much I begged, They didn't let me go to work alive or dead, and told me to go home and wait for news."

Ling Yue looked at them in disbelief, playing hooligans?
Was it yesterday?

Immediately said: "Comrade Xiaonian, what I said yesterday was all angry words, and you also know that if I did it, the comrades from the security department would have come over last night."
