At noon, Cheng Xiang took out a pack of biscuits and took a bite, planning to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something in the afternoon.
When the sun was setting in the afternoon, Cheng Xiang saw the little Huzi playing outside, so he asked him to lead the way to the supply and marketing cooperative. Huzi led the way in front of him.
Today Cheng Xiang wore a white floral dress and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative, attracting countless people to turn around.
At that time, the supply and marketing cooperatives were quite complete.
She bought some vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, a tablecloth with a grid pattern, and weighed 2 pounds of fruit candies. She thought she could use them as favors to give to the neighbors, such as helping her move the house at this time. Little tiger of things.
I bought another 5 pounds of rice and 5 pounds of flour.
Now I'm in trouble, how can I get so many things back?
She thought about it, took out a handful of fruit candies and gave them to Xiao Huzi, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Little Huzi understood the situation and ran out. A few minutes later, he brought back two or three little boys, who were clinking to help Cheng get something.
This is called paid labor, and a few pieces of fruit candy will solve the problem.
But Cheng Xiang was still afraid of tiring them, so he carried the flour and rice himself.
A few little guys were chattering in front of them, and Cheng Xiang's hands were red as he carried a 10-pound weight.
When she was approaching the door of her home, she stopped, rubbed her red fingers, and wanted to take a rest.
At this moment, a woman suddenly came up from behind, picked up something, and walked forward.
"Who are you?" Cheng Xiang asked after him.
"Are you Brother Zhou's sister-in-law?" The woman turned around and asked. Although this woman's skin is slightly dark, she is very beautiful. She has big eyes, double eyelids, a tall nose, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised when she smiles. She looks very kind. Cheng Xiang had a good feeling for this woman.
"Yes, I am Cheng Xiang"
"I am Chen Tian's sister, my name is Chen Jiao"
"Oh, it turns out to be Sister Chen." These two siblings are so nice, Cheng Xiang thought to himself.
Chen Jiaoren was thin but strong, and walked through the door carrying a bunch of things.
Cheng wanted to follow him and opened the fruit candies at home. Each child got a few pieces, and the children ran out happily.
"You don't have to be so generous to them," Chen Jiao kindly reminded Cheng Xiang as she watched Cheng Xiang scatter a lot of fruit candies.
"As a child, just be happy."
Chen Jiao smiled and said nothing. She turned around and unloaded the basket and said, "These are the radishes I grew at home, and the mushrooms I picked from the mountains. Xiaotian said you don't have any vegetables here, so let me bring some."
Cheng Xiang felt happy when he looked at the juicy radishes. He could eat more sour radishes and said, "Thank you so much. I'll call you Jiaojie."
Chen Jiao smiled shyly and said, "I have to call you sister-in-law."
"Hey, let's talk about our own things. You're older than me, so I'll call you sister," Cheng Xiang said carelessly.
Chen Jiao looked at the charming woman with bright eyes and white teeth in front of her, talking to herself cheerfully, and she liked her a little more in her heart, so she replied: "Okay."
Cheng Xiang went into the bedroom and took out a pack of biscuits for Chen Jiao, but Chen Jiao refused: "No, this is not okay."
"Oh, take it, Sister Jiao. This biscuit is very delicious. You can take it back and try it, and give it to your child." Cheng Xiang stuffed it into her arms.
After hearing her words, Chen Jiao suddenly looked a little gloomy, but she still refused and wanted to return the biscuits. While Cheng Xiang was pushing her, he accidentally opened her sleeves and saw several bright red scars. .
Cheng Xiang was a little stunned for a moment, and looked up at Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao quickly pulled down her sleeves, put away the biscuits, and said with some panic: "Then I'm not welcome. I still have to go to the ground, so I'll leave first."
Cheng didn't want to ask any more questions, so he sent Chen Jiao to the door.
Suddenly remembering something, he called Chen Jiao again: "Sister Jiao, are you free tomorrow?"
"What? What's the matter?"
"Do you know Zhou Tianlei's stepmother's house? I want to visit and see the children." Cheng Xiang always thought that he should visit the children. Tomorrow is Sunday and the children should be at home. After all, he came to this home. You should always meet Zhou Tianlei’s family.
Chen Jiao pondered for a moment and said, "I know, I will go with you tomorrow."
"Okay, then it's settled"
Looking at Chen Jiao's retreating back, Cheng Xiang thought of the scars on her arms and felt a little uneasy.
When she turned back and entered the door, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a man looking over in the distance. When she met Cheng Xiang's eyes, she turned around and left in a panic. The man had a stooped figure and looked to be an older middle-aged man.
Cheng Xiang didn't think much, so he walked in and went home.
Early the next morning, Chen Jiao came. On such a hot day, she still wore a cyan long-sleeved coat, and the buttons around her neck were tied tightly.
Cheng Xiang glanced at her, said nothing, took her arm and went out together.
Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Cheng Xiang went in and bought some nutritional products, a few kilograms of chicken cakes, fruit candies, and a few bottles of canned food. It was his first time visiting, so he couldn't go empty-handed.
Chen Jiao was a little dumbfounded when she looked at this generous young lady.
They walked to the door of a courtyard and were about to go in when they heard a woman's harsh curses coming from inside: "You bastard, you know how to eat all day long, you can't even hold a bowl, please take a good bowl." Just smash it to pieces, you blind thing."
Then came the delicate cry of a female doll.
"Still crying? Are you crying all day long?" The woman cursed again.
"Qing'er didn't mean it. The bowl is so hot. How can she hold it when she's so small? She's even burned, and you're still beating her?" At this time, a little boy's voice came out, with a hint of coldness in his tenderness.
"You bitch, you've been protecting these two wild bastards all day long. I think you're looking for a beating, bitch, give him a beating," the woman said fiercely.
When Cheng wanted to kick open the courtyard door, he saw a fat boy with a big head and big ears hitting a thin boy with a stick.
The stick fell on the boy's back, and the boy let out a groan.
Next to her was a little girl with a dirty face, huddled in the arms of a little boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old. The little boy's eyes were full of fear, but he still held the little girl tightly.
The little fat man was about to hit him a second time when he was startled by Cheng Xiang who broke into the courtyard door. Cheng Xiang walked over and kicked the little fat man to the ground.
The woman next to me came over shouting: "Who are you? Why do you break into other people's homes and dare to beat them?"
She looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, glaring at her with a sullen expression.
Looking back, she saw Chen Jiao standing at the door, staring at her coldly.
"Jiao, Jiaojiao? Why are you here?" The woman was a little panicked when she saw Chen Jiao.
