Meng Ning's face suddenly became serious: "Xiaoying, this is for you to eat. How can I ask you for money? You have eaten so little."
As he spoke, he picked up the plate, took off a plastic bag, poured the contents into it, and then grabbed handfuls of things from the stall and stuffed them full.
As for the shortfall, he used the money he had to cover it.
Qi Xiaoliang and Qi Xiaoying were stunned.
"Brother Meng, we can't afford so much, just buy a little."
"That's nonsense again." Meng Ning handed the big bag of things to him: "No money, I'll give you food."
"Ah, a gift?" Qi Xiaoliang looked puzzled. The two families were unrelated, and Meng Ning's enthusiasm really made him confused.
"I just want to get along with Brother Xiaoliang. Brother Xiaoliang, please don't nag me. Let's just make friends." Meng Ning said openly.
When Meng Ning said this, Qi Xiaoliang found it difficult to refuse.
A burst of pride surged in his heart, and he slapped Meng Ning on the shoulder: "Okay, I like it so refreshing. I am determined to make you my friend."
"You take your time to open these cabinets. Don't be in a hurry. You have your own things to do beforehand. Maybe Xiaoying will stay at home for another year."
This last sentence made Meng Ning excited.
He was afraid that the Qi family would be anxious and decide early, so that he would have no chance.
Qi Xiaoying smiled at Meng Ning: "Brother Meng, we are going back."
This smile was not ostentatious, but it was like the first bloom of a spring flower, making Meng Ning dazzle again.
When he was sixteen years old, he began to like Qi Xiaoying. Three years later, his original intention has not changed, but his longing for her has become even stronger.
Watching Qi Xiaoying walk away, Meng Ning felt that her heart also followed her.
"Ning Yaozi, Ning Yaozi?"
Suddenly he heard someone calling him, and when he looked closely, he saw two villagers coming to the stall to buy things.
"Sorry, it's coming."
At this time, Lu Mu's cattle cart was surrounded by people shopping.
After one car was sold, I returned to the rental place and shipped out another car.
One morning passed, and five cars were sold, totaling more than six taels of silver.
Although those bosses got the goods, their prices were lower, so Jietian became their home field.
Lu Mu sells things, while Meng Li takes Meng Yao shopping.
Meng Yao tried on all the new clothes and chose the most beautiful ones to wear.
Every time she has new clothes to wear, the little girl looks particularly happy, holding mutton skewers on one hand and candied haws on the other.
Meng Yao felt that this was the happiest thing in the world.
"Sister, will our life always be like this?" Meng Yao asked Meng Li with her big black eyes open.
"Yes." Meng Li raised her lips and smiled, her eyes full of doting.
The little girl was happy and bouncing around as she walked.
"Second brother said yesterday that eldest sister and brother-in-law are going to give birth to a nephew for everyone to play with. Sister, when will you give birth?"
The corner of Meng Li's mouth twitched: "Children, please don't ask."
"But I just want to hold my nephew."
Meng Li had an indescribable sense of crisis. She had her first birth at the dinner table yesterday, and there would definitely be a second and third time in the future.
She couldn't help but hold her forehead. Why was it so difficult?
Today Qiu Shui Pavilion put the two hundred clothes on sale, and the ones in front were on sale. There were so many customers in the store that they couldn't even squeeze in, and there was a queue at the door.
There are even people from the county who come here just to wear the latest styles in advance.
Once there is a discount here, Caiyun Pavilion has no advantage. Even on the street, there are not many people in the store.
Boss Mu and Zhao Chuan had dark clouds on their faces, and they wanted to smash the Qiushui Pavilion.
In fact, Meng Li only designs clothes and gets paid, but she doesn't leave any way for others to survive. Who told Caiyun Pavilion to attack her eldest brother?
This matter is not over yet!
After the two sisters had finished shopping, they went back to the cattle cart to sell things together.
Seeing the sun hanging high in the sky, Meng Li realized that they had been shopping for almost half the morning.
"How many cars have you sold?" she asked.
"It's the sixth car. I have more than seven taels of silver in my hand." Lu Mu said.
Customers bought a lot, big bags and big bags. The best-selling instant noodles were taken away box by box, and the kind called Wong Lo Kat was also bought piece by piece.
Some people even drive ox carts to pull goods.
The food is not expensive, less than half the cost of three meals for a whole family, and can be eaten by taking it apart or soaking it in water, which saves time.
Some people have formed a habit of eating these for breakfast and lunch when they are busy, and then go home to cook for dinner.
Meng Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Technology really changes life.
The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and you will still feel the heat after standing outside for a long time. Looking at the fine sweat on the man's forehead, Meng Li handed him her handkerchief.
"Wipe it."
"I'm too busy." The man was still packing things for people.
Meng Li stood on tiptoes and wiped off his sweat.
There was a refreshing fragrance on her handkerchief, and when she breathed it in, she seemed to feel a refreshing chill all over her body.
This scent is almost exactly the same as what I smell when I sleep.
Before Lu Mu had heard enough, Meng Li withdrew his hand.
Meng Li packed several bottles of Wong Lo Kat in plastic bags.
"Go and eat first, and then sell it after you're done eating."
After going to a mutton noodle restaurant, Meng Li each ordered a braised mutton bone and added a portion of mutton.
Eating the spicy and fragrant noodles, taking a sip of the piping hot soup, and then taking a sip of Wong Lo Kat will never be too satisfying.
I had to find a shady place to continue selling. In the afternoon, the number of people started to decrease, but I still sold more than five taels.
At the end of the day, I sold thirteen taels and gained a lot.
At home, Meng Ning also sold money for just over twenty taels.
Because he was busy selling things, when everyone got home, he had just finished cooking.
Meng Li said she was going to have barbecue tonight, but she didn't have time to prepare the ingredients. She and her younger sister started cooking, while the men helped. They quickly fried several vegetables and cooked a ribs and carrot soup.
Meng Ning's eating movements were slower than usual, as if he had something on his mind.
"Second brother, if you are embarrassed to say it, let your eldest brother say it for you." Meng Wu said.
Today, two brothers and sisters from the Qi family came to the house. He saw the reaction of the second brother. It turned out that the second brother already had someone he liked in his heart.
"Brother, what do I have to say?" Meng Ning was a little confused.
"You can't hide it from others, but you can't hide it from your eldest brother. My eldest brother knows that you want to marry Qi Xiaoying from the Qi family."
Meng Wu said this, and everyone's eyes fell on Meng Ning.
Meng Ning's face suddenly turned red. He couldn't use chopsticks to pick up vegetables or eat. Finally, he simply let it go: "Brother, I, too -"
"Second brother, is the girl you like called Qi Xiaoying?" Meng Li asked.
"Well, her name is Qi Xiaoying." After Meng Ning said this, he found a strange smile on everyone's faces.
He immediately realized that he had been lied to.
