When I walked out of the newspaper, it was not yet dark.
Cheng Tianyuan's get off work time was a little later than her. Occasionally, Boss Wang would ask him to delay it for a while before leaving, so he reminded Xue Ling in advance to ask her to stay in the office for a while and not come out to blow the cool breeze.
The weather became colder after the Mid-Autumn Festival, especially in the evening, the cold wind blew, making people tremble slightly!
Xue Ling felt a little cold intuition and quickly ran quickly.
Yesterday I heard Wang Qing say that there is a beef shop on the street in front of me. I said that the beef inside is fresh and delicious, and the food is not expensive.
She planned to go over and buy some meat and then buy some beef bones to go back to make soup.
A few days ago when I was in the hospital, the doctor said that taking anti-inflammatory drugs can easily damage the stomach and hunger. After that, you can take some slightly fatter bone soup to supplement nutrition and supplement calcium.
She is also aware of the situation of the Cheng family. In the past, she could only eat a little meaty flavor during festivals, and Cheng Tianyuan's nutrition was definitely not up to date.
So, she planned to buy some beef while she was waiting for him.
She turned into a small alley and soon arrived at the street in front of the gate.
At first I thought I had to look for it, but I could soon smell the smell of beef bone soup. She hurriedly followed the smell and saw a small plaque hanging on a small shop with two words "beef" written on it.
One word.
There was a row of scarlet meat in the store, and a lot of beef bones, and a fat head and big ears were cutting beef.
Xue Ling bought a piece of snowflake fat and four or five steak ribs.
Beef bones are very cheap, and only charges 20 cents for five. If she wasn't afraid of buying too many, she really wanted to buy more than a dozen in one go!
Unfortunately, refrigerators have not been popularized in this era, and even in the imperial capital, the concept of refrigerators has not been popularized.
Not only that, there were no thin plastic bags in this era, so I always wrapped things in oil paper and carried them in a piece of grass.
So, when Cheng Tianyuan came over on his bicycle, he could see the flesh and bones in her hands at a glance.
"Where did you buy it?"
Xue Ling smiled and replied: "It's a street in front."
When Cheng Tianyuan saw that she bought beef, he felt a little worried about the money, but thinking that she worked so hard, he immediately said, "I'll go back and stir-fry it for you to eat."
Xue Ling got on the back seat of the bicycle, and the couple quickly returned to the rental house.
Cheng Tianyuan went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook, then washed vegetables and cut meat.
Xue Ling did not dare to waste his time, so he went upstairs to continue to do translation.
Cheng Tianyuan was half-hunting, and when he heard a shout outside, he opened the door and walked out - it turned out to be Ouyang Mei!
She was wearing a beautiful dress, her face was slightly chubby and she was standing in the cool breeze and shivered.
Seeing Cheng Tianyuan come out, she smiled in surprise and said in a grievance and coquettish way: "Ayuan, I'm so hard for you!"
Cheng Tianyuan asked awkwardly: "Why are you here?"
It was a guest who passed by, so he had to open the door and welcome her in.
Ouyang Mei pouted and said, "I came to see you in the morning, but after calling me for a long time, no one responded. I came here twice at noon, but you were not there."
Cheng Tianyuan took her into the kitchen and moved a stool for her.
"I have to go to work during the day and my wife has to go to work. She ate at the office at noon, and I ate at the supply and marketing cooperative, but she didn't even go home."
Ouyang Mei curled her lips and asked: "Which direction is the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Cheng Tianyuan pointed outside and said the names of several streets.
Ouyang Mei was confused when she heard this and smiled bitterly: "I don't know these. When do you have time? I want to ask you to take me to find a store to rent it."
While washing vegetables, Cheng Tianyuan asked, "What store are you looking for? What business are you planning to do?"
Ouyang Mei didn't sit down, looked left and right and replied: "My brother said that it's enough for places with a lot of traffic. He wants to sell some daily necessities and small appliances."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help asking: "Don't you see your brother by yourself? Didn't he do a good job in the south? Why did he suddenly come back?"
Ouyang Mei dodged her eyes and turned her head.
"He...he said that business is difficult to do there, and thought that I was the only sister here, so it would be better to come back and reunite. My brother is also old, and grandma always nagged him to find a sister-in-law soon. You can't always delay the big things in life.
.”
Cheng Tianyuan had no good feelings for Ouyang Xiang because Ouyang Xiang was very "famous" in several nearby villages.
He has not studied since he was a child and likes to do some stealing things.
His parents died one after another when they were teenagers. The villagers nearby felt that their brother and sister were pitiful. Although they were so angry that they wanted to beat him to death, they thought that he was an orphan, which was not good.
What do you do to him so that you will not be scolded by the elderly in the village and can only swallow your anger.
Later, Ouyang Xiang became a veritable little hooligan. He was so arrogant all day long, his eyes were on his head, thinking that no one dared to offend him, and he became more and more stole and did bad things.
I heard that he had offended someone, and later fled to the south, started a business and gradually made money.
A two-story building was built at home, and I also heard that I bought a four-wheeled car. My grandmother and sister boasted to the neighbors every day, which made the villagers envious!
The news spread quickly in the countryside, and Ouyang Xiang went to the south to do business and make a lot of money quickly spread.
When people have money, they seem to have face, and no one mentioned the strange things at the beginning. Although they still know in their hearts, they don’t dare to say them again when they see that they are rich now.
If others don’t say it, it doesn’t mean they don’t know.
Cheng Tianyuan is a man from a school background, and his parents at home are both honest and honest. He doesn't like such people very much.
Therefore, he has never had any good feelings for Ouyang Xiang.
He heard Ouyang Mei explain this, he was not interested at all and said coldly: "You are not easy to make decisions, a girl. You should wait until your brother comes back before looking for it."
Ouyang Mei was anxious and hurriedly said, "Aren't you still there? Ayuan, you have been in the county town for so many years, and you must be very familiar with it. Please help me find it, as long as you agree, I will settle it immediately."
"No." Cheng Tianyuan washed the vegetables and sucked them in a bamboo basket, saying, "I don't know how to do business either, so why are you embarrassed to give you an idea."
Ouyang Mei was secretly anxious and asked, "Then are you free tomorrow? Tomorrow is Sunday. I heard Afang say that you have rest on Sundays. Otherwise, you can go shopping with me tomorrow!"
Cheng Tianyuan secretly scolded his stupid girl and nodded lightly: "Okay, but my wife will have to be busy tomorrow. I have to come back to cook for her for all three meals."
He planned to take her out for a walk tomorrow to deal with it so that he would not seem too heartless as a fellow villager.
As for what she was going to do and what she planned, he didn't want to participate. After all, Ouyang Xiang was definitely not a person who was easy to deal with.
When Ouyang Mei saw him washing hands and cutting meat, she couldn't help but ask: "Do you have to cook three meals for your wife?"
