Chapter 27

In the dark night, Chang Pingning did not understand the meaning of Guo Bomo's words. What did she think too well?Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he felt sleepy coming over him.

When she woke up, she had forgotten to ask Guo Bomo. She got up and left the house, preparing to follow her mother-in-law to the beach to pick up seafood.Although her mother-in-law asked her to go back and rest a little longer, Chang Pingning still refused.

Ye Xiuying smiled and praised the couple for being very sensible, saying that Guo Bomo also got up early in the morning and followed Guo Dayong to the port to sell sea fish.

Chang Pingning responded with a smile, it was her mother-in-law and father-in-law who set a good example for them.

The two said a few nice words to each other and went to the beach to pick up seafood together, carrying wooden buckets.

The people at the beach were about the same as usual. Chang Pingning was confused: now that the Liu family has ended the seafood banquet and seafood banquet, why are there still so many people coming to pick up seafood?

Ye Xiuying reacted quickly and urged Chang Pingning to pick it up quickly, so that they could rush back as soon as possible.

Although he didn't understand why, Chang Pingning obeyed and sped up the speed of picking up seafood.The two carried the barrel back to Guo's house. On the way, Chang Pingning saw her mother-in-law glance at the direction where she usually rides the bullock cart, and then urged her.

"Let's not go back and put away the iron tongs and shovels today. Let's go directly to the bullock cart." Ye Xiuying said eagerly.

Chang Pingning followed Ye Xiuying's line of sight and saw many people walking towards the oxcart in a hurry.When they reached the vicinity of the bullock cart, there were already many more people on the bullock cart than usual.When Chang Pingning was about to ask her mother-in-law why, she heard someone greeting them.

"Sister Xiuying is here too?"

"I happen to have a spot here, let's squeeze in together."

"Why didn't you go home and put the tools away? Did you just come to the car and sit in the car? It's too late to go back and come back."

Chang Pingning is still young, so she can just stay with her mother-in-law and say hello.But she sighed silently in her heart. Fortunately, her mother-in-law had sharp eyes. If the two of them went home to put away their things like usual, they might not be able to get on the bullock cart when they came back.

Sure enough, when the driver saw that the car was almost full of people, he raised his hand and patted the cow's butt, signaling the cow to move forward.

Lao Niu began to walk slowly, and behind him came the movement of other people who had not gotten on the bus.

"Why are you leaving? Doesn't it usually take a while?"

The man in the car answered for the driver.

"The bus is full, and you won't have anywhere to sit if you come up. Just wait, I will definitely make another trip because there are so many people today."

After hearing this, Chang Pingning felt lucky, thanks to her mother-in-law, otherwise they would have had to wait for a while.

The bullock cart was walking on the road, and there were more people on it than in the past few days. As soon as there were more people, they started chatting.

"Sister Xiuying, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been going to the town a lot during the day recently. They must have made a fortune, right?" It was Aunt Yuhua, and Chang Pingning saw her eyes trying hard to look into the wooden barrels of herself and her mother-in-law.

"The only way to get rich is to sell two barrels of seafood." Ye Xiuying glanced at her indifferently and calmly covered her barrel with her sleeves.

Chang Pingning also followed her mother-in-law and learned from her mother-in-law.

"Don't be modest. The eldest brother who drove the bus just told us that you two have been his big customers recently. You two are the ones who go to town the most frequently in our village." Aunt Yuhua looked like she didn't believe it.

"Drive! Let's go!" The driver's voice came from the front of the car.

"Uncle, when did you start driving horses? Isn't this a bullock cart?" someone said, and a burst of cheerful laughter came from the car.Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying laughed together, but no one answered Aunt Yuhua's words.

Seeing this, Aunt Yuhua rolled her eyes again: "Xiuying, you can't be like this in life. If you have any way to make a fortune, tell us all about it and let the villagers make a fortune together!"

Ye Xiuying glanced at Aunt Yuhua: "Thanks to Sister Yuhua, now I can only earn some hard money by walking around the streets."

Chang Pingning felt that her mother-in-law seemed to have something she didn't say specifically, but after her mother-in-law said this, the other aunts in the car looked at Aunt Yuhua with more disdain.

"I forgot to ask Sister Yuhua, how is your child studying in private school recently?" Ye Xiuying began to ask Aunt Yuhua questions, ranging from the child's private school studies to where her men went to catch fish.

Amidst the chatter, the bullock cart came to a fork in the road. At the other end of the fork in the road was the port. Some people were going to the port to sell seafood. Chang Pingning watched as half of the cart's people got off the bullock cart.The remaining people continued to sit in the car and headed to town.

Chang Pingning noticed that Aunt Yuhua was about to get off the car, but when it was time to get off, she sat on the board of the oxcart again. Someone under the car asked her why she got back on the car if they hadn't agreed to go to the port together. .

Aunt Yuhua, who had regained her seat in the car, pretended not to hear. It was not until the person under the car called her name, Guo Yuhua, that she told the people under the car that she was going to the town.

The driver patted the cow's butt again, and the old cow started walking slowly. The driver said: "Yuhua, go to town and tell me early. Everyone was waiting for you just now. Also, when we get to town later, you can give me some To make up for the toll of one penny, what you gave me in the village was the toll to the port.”

Normally, Chang Pingning and her mother-in-law would go directly to the town by bullock cart, and the bullock cart rarely stopped halfway. Today, after listening to the driver, she realized that the toll prices were different.

"I know, it's just a penny, so why not hurry up now." Aunt Yuhua muttered, looking around at the people around her, "What are you looking at!"

Arrived in town.Aunt Yuhua got off the car and was stopped by the driver. She walked to the driver impatiently, took out a penny from her arms and gave it to him.

When Chang Pingning saw Aunt Yuhua walking up to her and her mother-in-law, she snorted at them with an air of disdain, as if they had been watching a joke.

Chang Pingning looked at Aunt Yuhua's back and sighed helplessly, even wanting to roll her eyes.

"Girl Ning, be careful when talking to Guo Yuhua in the future. She will cause trouble no matter what." Ye Xiuying took Chang Pingning towards the restaurant and told Chang Pingning that their family had a stall in the vegetable market. It was Guo Yuhua who coaxed and deceived her away.

The two people walked while talking and came near Cyclamen.

Ye Xiuying looked at the cyclamen in front of her and sighed with emotion: "Thanks to her, we can now deliver directly to the restaurant. The quantity required is large and the price is stable."

When Chang Pingning and her mother-in-law returned to Guojiacun, she looked at the rising sun and remembered what happened to Yanyan the day before. After briefly mentioning it to her mother-in-law, she went to the Liu family to find Meng Xia.

Chang Pingning told Meng Xia: "My mother took Yanyan back yesterday. Yanyan was very sad when she left, saying that she had made an appointment with 'Kitchen Sister'."

"What is a 'kitchen sister'?" Meng Xia smiled and praised Yanyan, "This kid is quite trustworthy. Let's do this, I'll teach you how to make it up, and when you learn how to make it up, you can teach her again when you meet Yanyan. .”

Chang Pingning was originally not interested in this kind of handmade straw baubles, but thinking of his sad sister yesterday, he nodded in agreement.

"Don't be so reluctant. Once you learn how to make this gadget, you can sell it to rich people for a high price." Meng Xia was very confident in what he was about to teach.

While the two were talking, Liu Qingwan came to see Meng Xia, her eyes a little red.

Meng Xia looked at her: "Are you being taught by the old man again?" He glanced at Chang Pingning next to him, "We are going to make something up for fun, do you want to join us?"
