Candide in Chronology is on strike

I bought a bamboo basket, and I also bought six of the remaining bamboo bowls and spoons. Because their bowls were too heavy and easily broken during transportation, and their value was not high, they just left them. Chen Huicun.

The bowl they used to drink porridge yesterday was left by Aunt Luo's second oldest child. Although there are fifteen bowls, which is enough, they still bought these bowls of their own. Besides, these bamboo bowls and spoons are not worth much. Money, just buy it when you buy it. If you lose something that costs only a few cents, you won’t feel bad if you lose it.

The vegetables at the stalls of the other two people were also covered by them, because the two vegetable sellers gave them great discounts. It was a very cold day, so they sold out at a low price at one time, so they just called it a day and went home.

There is no shortage of food at home. These vegetables are money when sold. Even if they are sold cheaper, they are willing to deal with them.

When they first arrived, they had nothing. Even the vegetables that were abundant in the garden before were very cherished by them now.

Qin Jiang and Qin Xi visited the farmer's market and went back directly with a lot of things.

Apart from anything else, seeing more and more things at home gives me a sense of satisfaction.

Well, actually both of them are a bit of a hoarder, but they are not very heavy, but they really can’t help themselves when they see cheap things.

Seeing the two of them going out and bringing back so many things, Mrs. Yu, who lives on the right side of the first floor, got greedy and took the initiative to greet them.

"You are the young people who rented the house of the second son of the Luo family!"

"I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, but I never found the opportunity. Are you going out to buy something?"

Although they just moved here at noon yesterday, Qin Xi still smiled and replied: "Yes! Who are you, aunt?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Now that people are greeting the two of them with smiling faces, Qin Jiang and Qin Xi will naturally not say anything unpleasant. There is no need to take the initiative to make enemies among neighbors.

"My surname is Yu. You can call me Aunt Yu. I live on the right side of the first floor. This is my home."

"I live with my youngest son. He is a teacher at Tangxi Primary School. My daughter-in-law is the accountant of the Second Textile Factory in Xiang'an City. The whole family is a big cadre." When it came to the last three words, Old lady Yu suddenly strengthened her tone, which was a sign of pride.

This is the golden knot that his youngest son married back. It really looks like the one holding a gold ingot.

When other old ladies were chatting with her, they all gave thumbs up when talking about her little daughter-in-law, saying that her son was so awesome that he could marry such a rich man.

"Well, then your little daughter-in-law is really amazing." Qin Xikou complimented unintentionally, making the old lady look so beautiful! It's like drinking a bowl of cold mung bean soup in one breath during the dog days of summer, it feels so good.

This feeling was right. When everyone knew about her daughter-in-law's background, they all had to praise her.

Just for this feeling of pleasure, even if her daughter-in-law didn't respect her very much at home, she was willing to live here. She even went to the other two sons' homes to plunder things just to get a smile from her daughter-in-law.

"I'm telling you, my daughter-in-law grew up when she was young."

Old lady Yu kept teasing Qin Xi, and Qin Xi wanted her brother to go home first. After all, it was really cold down there, and there was no need to stand here with this nagging lady.

Seeing Qin Jiang taking the things from Qin Xi and about to go up, Mrs. Yu quickly stopped her: "Where did you buy this food? It looks really fresh."

"I went to the market early this morning to buy something good, but I didn't see anything good. How come you, who went a little later, bought such good and juicy vegetables?" "I won't know for sure when my daughter-in-law comes back. You have to give me a lecture, after all, the food at home is not very fresh."

Her hint was obvious enough!

If you are sensible, you should submit the things obediently.

Qin Xi also came up, took out a small cabbage and gave it directly to the aunt opposite: "It's not a valuable thing, aunt, don't dislike it, take it and eat it."

A dozen heads of cabbage, as well as some carrots and white radishes. All these things together only cost fifty cents. It is really not a valuable thing. A piece of cabbage only costs a few cents. If you give it, you will give it.

But she didn't expect that the old lady opposite was greedy. She was still holding her cabbage and looking at the radish.

"Auntie's grandson wants to eat vegetable balls at noon, Xiao Qin! There are so many vegetables that the three of you will definitely not be able to finish. Why don't you give Auntie two radishes? Two white radishes, and you can have more yellow radishes. Come on, please, this thing is small and won’t be enough to eat without it.”

"What's that bag in your brother's basket? There seems to be a lot of stuff."

Qin Xi's nice words gave her the illusion that no matter what she wanted, the other party would agree to it.

Besides, she didn't want much. It was less than half of the food the two young men brought. The young man couldn't finish it. What's wrong with giving her, an old man, some?

She was also afraid that they wouldn't be able to finish the food and it would be wasted!

Qin Xi's face turned cold, thinking she was a self-service supermarket! You can order whatever you want, and the most important thing is, you don't have to pay. This old woman is ugly, but she thinks a lot.

Thinking of this, she instantly felt unhappy. Qin Xi put the object in her brother's arms directly, and then, while he wasn't paying attention, she snatched the little cabbage.

He was still saying: "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have trouble picking up this cabbage that fell on the ground."

"If you don't pick it up, it will be a waste. Then what cats and dogs will be cheaper? I feel bad!"

After saying that, Qin Xi ignored the other party's pale complexion and went upstairs directly.

The old woman was left cursing downstairs alone.

Qin Xi's movements were very fast. How could an old woman who was almost seventy years old be better than her? Without paying attention, she was already going up the stairs.

Although the three-story building is not high, it is very high for an old woman who is almost seventy years old. Her old legs cannot support her to perform such difficult movements.

Even if she managed to climb to the third floor, she would have to hold on to the wall and shake her legs to get down slowly. Going up to the third floor just for a broken cabbage was not worth it.

Who among the residents in this building doesn't know that Mrs. Yu is the caretaker of the building. She spends most of the day squatting next to the stairwell, guarding the neighbors going up and down.

It's better if you come and go empty-handed, otherwise, the old lady will have to look in your pocket to see what you have brought in and out, and she will ask for it if she likes it. There is no shame at all.

When this old lady first came here, everyone was thin-skinned and let her get her way a few times. Later, when this person took advantage of her, no one cared about her anymore.
