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

Chapter 77 Don't mention that dead girl to me

Mother Ling turned her head to look at her, her eyes were full of joy, and then she glanced out again: "Why didn't Zhaoyang come back?"

Ling Yue walked into the room, put the things on the table, and said, "It's over there in the warehouse."

Mother Ling looked very vigilant, and asked her: "Xiaoyue, what are you doing back now, isn't Zhaoyang busy with work?"

"Isn't it your birthday soon? We'll come back to celebrate your birthday."

Mother Ling's complexion changed, and she scolded angrily: "Nonsense, I celebrate my birthday every year. What kind of birthday do you want you to celebrate? You should go back to work, go to school, and go to school. Don't make me feel bad."

"Mom, why is it so hard to find you?" Ling Yue took her hand, she looked around, but she didn't see Ling Xiaohua, and asked, "Where is Xiaohua, why didn't you see her?"

Ling's mother was reluctant to let go of Tongtong, and kept holding her in her hand.

She snorted heavily: "Don't mention that dead girl to me, she doesn't do any work now, and hangs around with a bastard all day long!"

Ling Yue frowned: "Mom, no matter how lazy Xiao Hua is, you can't ruin her reputation!"

The most important thing for a girl is her reputation. If her reputation is ruined, how can she marry?

"You don't know." Ling Yue looked at her helplessly, "Let me tell you the truth, don't say you can't find someone, I haven't seen this dead girl for three days."

Ling Yue's heart skipped a beat: "Mom, what's going on, tell me about it?"

Ling's mother sighed: "Speaking of this, I still blame your father for letting her go to the supply and marketing agency to buy seeds."

Ling's mother said concisely: "It's also our fault that our family is poor. That dead girl took a fancy to his motorcycle and followed him around all day long. Tell me, if it's a child from a good family, we wouldn't say What, but who is that? There is a blind old woman in the family, and my father is an alcoholic. When he gets drunk, he will vent his anger on his blind old lady. Can I rest assured that she will marry her!"

Ling Yue's face turned cold: "Then she hasn't come back for three days, and you haven't looked for her?"

"Why not! But our legs can't keep up with those two-wheeled motorcycles! I can't even see the buttocks of the car when they gas up."

Mother Ling's face was full of sadness when she mentioned this.

"It's said that women's colleges are not accepted. I think she will be ruined by this bastard all her life!"

"Mom, didn't you go to the other party's house to look for it?"

"I found it. When I saw us passing by, that man took your sister and ran away. How can we catch up!"

Ling Yue frowned: "Mom, where is that man's home, I'll go meet him!"

"Okay, you haven't eaten yet when you came back, so leave her alone, I'll cook for you."

Mother Ling put Tongtong on the ground and started washing rice for cooking.

As soon as the rice sat on the coal stove, Ling's father came back with a load of green peeled oranges.

Seeing so many oranges, Mother Ling's face was full of displeasure: "Xiaoyue, if you have money, you can't spend it like this. Why buy so many oranges!"

"Mom, it's not much. Didn't I want to pass it on? Otherwise, what would I buy it for?"

Ling Yue successfully lit Ling Yue again: "Tell me about you, Zhaoyang's monthly salary is only how much, why don't you know how to save some money? Why buy these useless things!"

"If I don't buy it, I will buy it. Can you return it?"

Ling Yue rolled up her sleeves to help wash the vegetables, and asked again and again: "By the way, Mom, how many tables do you plan to host for this birthday?"

"Is the cook ready?"

"Have all the relatives been notified?"

Mother Ling frowned: "This is the situation in our family, so I don't want to burden you."

"I've bought all the bulk goods that I passed on, so you won't do it if you don't want to do it?"

"As long as you have a good life, you have this intention. We are all people who have one foot in the coffin, so we don't like this."

"That can't be done. I'll go to my uncle to discuss it in the afternoon."

"If you dare to go, I will give you a discount on your legs!"

Mother Ling stared, just in time to see Wang Zhaoyang walking over carrying a bag of melon seeds.

She hurried up to meet it, took the thing and put it on the ground.

"Zhaoyang, what did you buy?"

"Gourd seeds."

Ling's mother's face was drawn long: "I didn't plan to do it, and you didn't discuss it with me. Why did you come back so rashly?"

"Mom, look at what you said, how many people can be sixty, if you don't do it at sixty, you still want to wait until seventy?"

"Sister, where do you put the eggs?"

While talking, Ji Zhongqiu walked in carrying eggs.

Ling's mother was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became furious: "Have you emptied the grocery store? There are eggs and melon seeds!"

Ling Yue didn't expect Ling's mother to get angry all of a sudden, she ignored her and called Wang Zhaoyang: "Zhaoyang, help me put it down."

Seeing that the person carrying the eggs was a stranger, Ling's mother looked at Ji Zhongqiu in astonishment, and asked Ling Yue: "Ling Yue, whose child is this?"

"Oh, this is our friend in Qingpu City. I heard that you celebrated your birthday, so I must come with us to see you."

Ji Zhongqiu hurriedly shouted: "Hi Auntie, I'm Ji Zhongqiu."

Mother Ling responded, and poured him another glass of water: "Come on, you're thirsty, drink a glass of water."

After giving the water to Ji Zhongqiu, Mother Ling blamed Ling Yue again: "Tell me about you, you didn't even say a word when you brought a friend over, I thought it was Qingfeng!"

"Mom, what's wrong with me?"

Ling Yuefeng put a load of green-skinned oranges in the house, and complained to her: "Mom, my sister is too good at cleaning, I think these oranges are probably two to three hundred catties!"

In front of outsiders, Mother Ling didn't want to get mad, she just gave Ling Yue a look: "Okay, your children are grown up, you can do whatever you like!"

Seeing her let go, Ling Yue was also unambiguous: "Qingfeng, come with me to Uncle's house in the afternoon."

Mother Ling was so anxious that she twisted her waist.

Ji Zhongqiu grew up so big that he had never been to the countryside outside Qingpu City. He put down the eggs and walked around the front and back of Ling's house.

The adobe brick house of the Ling family is located on the edge of the bamboo forest. There is a large farmland in front of the house. The rice in the farmland is green with yellow, and the breeze blows, rolling up waves of rice and rolling over the field.

The rice field used to be a green hill, and at the foot of the hill stood the same adobe brick and blue tile house as the Ling family.

There is a fish pond on the left, and a few willow trees are planted beside the fish pond, and a large bamboo forest is on the right.

Behind the house is a reclaimed vegetable field, and there are still mountains above the vegetable field.

I didn't see the river that Tongtong mentioned on the train.

After turning around, he sat on the deck chair under the grape arbor of Ling's family, picked a bunch of crystal clear grapes and ate them.

"Uncle Ji, I want to eat too."

Tongtong saw it, and ran over from the house on her calves, begging him to pick a bunch for herself.

Ji Zhongqiu handed her the one in his hand: "It's very sour, can you eat it?"

Tongtong hesitated for a moment, pinched one and put it in her mouth, she swallowed it without even spitting out the skin: "You lied!"

Just as two people, one big and one small, were fighting under the grape arbor, Ling's mother prepared the meal and brought it to the table.

Ji Zhongqiu was also hungry, so he ran over by himself after smelling the smell.
