"Where did Lu Jing go?"
Xia Yao asked this question coldly. Lu Tiantian's round almond-shaped eyes widened with confusion, while Lu Changbai's eyes, which were quite similar to Lu Jing's, were wandering around but refused to speak.
Seeing this, Xia Yao crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Lu Changbai: "Who stood up for you a few days ago? Who helped you scare the shit out of Tian Donkey?"
It's not Tian Donkey, but the Tian family.
But in Xia Yao's view, dealing with an irresponsible parent like Tian Dashan is the same as dealing with a naughty child like Tian Lvdan.
The guilty look on Lu Changbai's face showed that he and Xia Yao had the same idea.
As a result, the look of guilt on his face deepened.
"I..." Lu Changbai lowered his head, "Second uncle said that you can't tell anyone about this."
Xia Yao patted Lu Changbai on the head and said helplessly: "Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't compare you."
Having said this, Xia Yao sighed and walked outside.
Lu Changbai looked at her back and was a little worried, but like Lu Tiantian, he did not dare to express his emotions directly even if he longed to get close to Xia Yao.
From the corner of his eye, Xia Yao saw the two of them squatting by the door eagerly, waving with his back to them: "Stay at home and don't run around. If you have anything to do, go find Aunt Guihua and the captain. Come back and bring delicious food to you two." .”
When Lu Tiantian heard that there was something delicious, she sniffed, her eyes filled with desire.
"Will it be Rourou?"
Yesterday, Xia Yao stewed the pig's trotters. Even Lu Tiantian, who had a set of baby teeth, couldn't help but be tempted to hold half a piece of pig's trotters and chew on it for half an hour.
Lu Changbai thought for a while and quickly shook his head: "It definitely can't be meat. Meat is so expensive. It's good if we can eat it just a few times."
"Auntie is so pitiful." Lu Tiantian suddenly said, "We never called auntie when we ate meat before."
Lu Changbai scratched his head and felt even more guilty. He lowered his head and said hesitantly: "But the second uncle said that it is a secret that only the three of us can know. If others find out, my parents will be afraid." You’ll never get out again.”
Lu Tiantian didn't understand this yet. She sucked her fingers and said vaguely: "From now on, I won't eat the meat that my second uncle brings back. I'll share it with my aunt."
Lu Changbai clenched his fists. Although he was a small person, he had a firm expression on his face: "Give mine to Auntie too!"
Riding a bicycle on the bumpy road, Xia Yao hummed a song, finally no longer having to squeeze a bullock cart to go to the county town.
Counting the time, her letter to Aunt Xu should have arrived.
Aunt Xu and Xia's mother have known each other for a long time. They have been comparing each other since they were young. No one can see that the other is better than themselves. However, because of the engagement between the original owner and Xu Chenghai, Aunt Xu felt that she was stepped on by Xia's mother. Several times in a row Yue looked at Xia's mother and didn't have a good look on her face. As long as she wasn't stupid, she would seize the opportunity she gave her and make a big deal out of it.
It's a pity that she can't see the faces of that family with her own eyes.
Suddenly, Xia Yao squeezed the brakes and looked towards the mountains with his peripheral vision.
If she wasn't dazzled, was that person Lu Jing just now?
This thought popped up in my mind and I couldn't let it go anymore.
Xia Yao rolled his eyes and decided to continue to act according to the plan.
Looking in the direction of Lu Jing, it looked like he was going to the county seat.
What is he going to the county town for?
Xia Yao rolled his eyes and patted his head.
How could she forget!
Trading at this time is considered speculative, but as the saying goes, if there is demand, there is a market, and there is a black market in the county!
Xia Yao suppressed his inner excitement and quickly rode his bicycle to the county town.
She had a lot of tickets in her hand that she had snatched from human traffickers, such as some watch tickets and sewing tickets that were both useless and conspicuous, so she might as well take advantage of this moment to get rid of them.
As for the black market…
Xia Yao calmed down and decided to cooperate with Lu Jing as soon as possible.
By then, she will definitely be able to make a lot of money there, not to mention too much, but at least it will allow her to live without relying on the Xia family when she returns to the city in five years.
Lu Jing had discovered Xia Yao a long time ago. No one else but Xia Yao would do this to the man who was wrapped like a rice dumpling.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?"
Next to Lu Jing, Chen Zhou, who was half a head shorter than Lu Jing, quickly looked behind him several times, but saw no one.
He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, okay... okay! He almost thought the matter was exposed!
Chen Zhou is a member of the Shangyang Brigade, but he is not much better than Lu Jing. Eighteen generations of his ancestors have been poor farmers. Counting back, everyone is extremely poor. Chen Zhou is lazy. The Yang Brigade could only survive to the point of starving to death.
Fortunately, he got the true story of his grandfather's hunting. He occasionally went up the mountain to eat some meat for the tooth festival, and occasionally met Lu Jing. He had a good impression of Lu Jing.
After all, there were many people in the entire commune who had received favors from the Lu family, and his family was one of them.
Over time, he and Lu Jing became familiar with each other. Chen Zhou came up with the idea of going to the black market to do business. He knew that Lu Jing's identity was sensitive and he went alone every time he went to the black market because he was worried about harming Lu Jing. .
But I don’t know what Lu Jing’s fault was this time, and he had to go to the black market with him.
"Aren't you afraid of being arrested and reformed?" Chen Zhou was worried, "You still have two children at home who are waiting to be fed!"
"Don't worry." Lu Jing shook his head, "I just went to take a look."
Some of what Xia Yao said that day made Lu Jing toss and turn and keep him awake all night.
The brother and sister-in-law went to the farm together, and they didn't know when they would be able to come out. The two children were still young, and with his work points, including going to the farm to manage, there wouldn't be much left.
Dabao and Xiaobao are both good children, and they have never tasted any sweetness since they were young.
In order to give his family a better life, he suddenly thought of the black market that he had avoided.
In the previous cooperation with Chen Zhou, he would not go to the black market. With Chen Zhou's status, even if he was caught, he would only criticize him a few times. But when he was caught, the nature was different.
But this time, he decided to take a look at the black market.
Chen Zhou scratched his head when he saw Lu Jing was silent.
As a talkative and secretive person, Chen Zhou couldn't stand such a silent atmosphere. He patted his chest and assured Lu Jing: "Don't worry, even if we are unlucky and get caught, I will keep you!" "
He had a very good impression of Lu Jing. When he hunted before, he basically caught some pheasants and hares, and at most it was to give him a tooth sacrifice, but it was different when Lu Jing joined him.
I don’t know how Lu Jing, a young man from a wealthy landowner’s family, got so many skills, and he can even tell where the wild boar is by looking at a few piles of dung.
With this wild boar, he got a total of sixty-five yuan!
Thinking of the harvest with Lu Jing this time, Chen Zhou geared up: "Let's hurry up! I don't know what we can gain this time! I have made an appointment with the old man in the city! If it's still a wild boar, he will give us this number!"
Talking about pigs, Chen Zhou pushed Lu Jing's arm again: "I heard that your wife has good medical skills? She also cured the six pigs in your village?"
"Good boy! Why didn't I know that your lazy, lazy wife still had this ability? Why didn't she tell her before?"
After Lu Jing heard this, a sarcastic light flashed in Feng's eyes.
However, he has long since learned to control his emotions. Even if he hates Xia Yao in his heart, he will not show it in front of others.
Chen Zhou was still sighing: "Speaking of which, your wife is also weird. Wasn't she originally unwilling to go out and meet people because of the red pimples on her face? Why did she change her gender again now?"
As he listened, Lu Jing couldn't help but flash across his eyes the pair of peach blossom eyes that he saw that night.
Perhaps it was from that day when she learned the true identity of her parents that she experienced such a big change.
But this speculation crossed Lu Jing's mind and he immediately put it behind him.
He and Xia Yao are not on the same journey, so why should he pay too much attention to Xia Yao.
"We're almost there." Lu Jing warned in a deep voice, "Be careful, once there are prey, their blood will attract other beasts."
When Chen Zhou heard this, he nodded quickly and even breathed lightly.
county seat.
Xia Yao came to a family compound.
Wearing a mask and a hat, she exposed her eyes. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the compound, she attracted the attention of the old man at the door.
"What are you doing here?" The old man's eyes widened, looking over Xia Yao's body like searchlights.
Xia Yao was stopped and attracted the attention of passers-by.
She immediately walked up to the uncle and took off her mask.
At this time, Xia Yao's face was flushed from pedaling too hard, and the red pimples on her face became more conspicuous.
"Ouch!" The uncle was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Xia Yao forced out a few tears: "Uncle, I didn't mean to be like this, I was... I have so many things on my face, I'm afraid of being laughed at."
The uncle waved his hand: "Okay, okay, but girl, you have to tell me what you are here for. This is a family home and no outsiders are allowed in."
Xia Yao immediately took off the basket on the bicycle and lifted a corner of the red cloth on it: "Uncle, I am Engineer Tang's cousin in the country on the third floor of the second building."
"I heard that my cousin had given birth to a baby. My family specially asked me to pack eggs and an old hen and bring them over to help my cousin recuperate."
The uncle couldn't help but swallowed when he looked at Xia Yao's bamboo basket full of eggs and the woven bag in the back seat.
These days, who among ordinary people would complain that they don’t have enough to eat?
And eggs are not something ordinary people like them who live in the city can eat very often. It is better to live in the countryside, where they have their own land and can raise a few chickens.
Xia Yao quickly waved his hand and said in a loud voice with an accent he had practiced hard for a long time: "Wherever, it's better for you in the city. You don't have to earn work points and receive wages!"
well!
The uncle sighed and waved his hand to let Xia Yao in.
Xia Yao was carrying something in his hand and hanging something on his bicycle. He attracted a lot of attention along the way. If anyone asked, without exception, Xia Yao would say that he was here to deliver something to his cousin and sister-in-law.
