Yu Yaoyang and Hao Wang drank until almost ten o'clock before leaving. If Rutang hadn't left the stall tomorrow, they could have kept drinking.
On the way back, Hao Mei sat on the back seat of the bicycle, Yu Yaoyang pushed her, and Ru Tang held Hao Mei's crutches, and the three of them headed towards Dali Village.
Along the way, Yu Yaoyang and Rutang were chatting, chatting in random directions with no theme. Yu Yaoyang was a talkative and could make Rutang laugh with just a few words.
Hao Mei secretly observed Yu Yaoyang, and Yu Yaoyang's performance tonight was beyond Hao Mei's knowledge.
She could tell that this guy really wanted to marry her daughter, and he was really nice to Rutang.
After walking for a while, Yu Yaoyang had to stop, saying that he was tired and needed to take a rest. In fact, Hao Mei knew that he was afraid of Rutang's hard work.
What surprised Hao Mei even more was her daughter's attitude towards Yaoyang. She was not afraid of Yu Yaoyang at all. There was endless talk between the two of them. The eyes she occasionally looked at Yu Yaoyang were also affectionate. Hao
Mei knew at a glance that her daughter had put her heart into it.
This realization made Hao Mei feel mixed with joy and sorrow, and felt uneasy.
Rutang knew that her mother was worried about her, and even words could not convince her.
It takes time to change a person's inherent perception. It would be better for her to say 10,000 kind words about Yu Yaoyang than to let her mother see it with her own eyes. She will have a chance in the future.
Yu Yaoyang sent them home, and Rutang didn't bother to whisper to her mother. She was too tired after a busy day and fell asleep after washing up at home.
During Chen Fu's absence, mother and daughter were very happy, and Hao Mei had a solid sleep.
At three o'clock in the morning, Rutang got up, and Hao Mei was still sleeping. She didn't even bother to shout, but tiptoed out with her basket on her back.
When the flashlight flashed, there was a man squatting beside the firewood pile at the door. Rutang was so frightened that she almost dropped the flashlight. Her first reaction was: "The weasel has entered the village!"
When weasels come into the village, they like to squat next to firewood piles like this, waiting for opportunities to steal chickens.
I heard a voice pinching my nose coming from the direction of the firewood pile: "I am Wong Tai Sin! Xiao Nier in front of me, come over and let me take a few bites!"
Rutang recognized Yu Yaoyang's voice and was so angry that she grabbed a rice stick from the pile of firewood and whipped him hard.
"Are you a Biaozi?! Who are you squatting here to scare?"
"Hahaha!" Yu Yaoyang laughed heartily, feeling proud that his prank was successful.
"You're not sleeping at home, why did you come out?" Rutang didn't expect him to wake up so early.
She wanted him to sleep more, so she didn't mention the time she would get up early to catch the sea, and he didn't ask. Unexpectedly, he had already made up his mind to wait for her here.
"I dreamed that you were crying for me, so why don't I come right now?" He said in a deliberately naughty tone, taking the basket she was carrying on his back and carrying it on his own.
Obviously he didn't want her to be too tired and have to find an excuse to be so indebted.
The two went to the beach and not surprisingly saw many people.
This year there is a lot of news that the production team will be disbanded. Grain production will be reduced, and everyone is nervous.
The news about Rutang's collection of seafood yesterday has spread throughout the village. After hearing this, all the young ladies and young wives wanted to come over and try their luck.
Seeing Rutang and Yu Yaoyang coming together, someone immediately gathered around and asked:
"Rutang, are you still accepting overseas goods today?"
"The price we charge is still the same as yesterday, but the quantity we need is limited, and each stall may only get a few kilograms."
Rutang said it before. She is a small business with limited sales. Even if so many people give her a few hundred kilograms at once, she can't sell it.
A few kilograms per family is only a few cents. For most people, this is free money and they are very happy.
But some people were unhappy and whispered:
"Yesterday, the ones you took away from Yingzi and Dongzi's families were only ten or twenty kilograms. How come they only weigh a few kilograms here? This man is different now that he has money."
The last sentence almost makes people's teeth ache. In the village, if someone says that someone "has money", it means they are angry and think that the other person looks down on them.
"Whether you want to do it or not, begging for food is a waste of money! It's none of your business whether I have money or not!" Yu Yaoyang didn't care about that and just shouted back.
The person he was yelling at was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She probably didn't expect Yu Yaoyang to speak, so she was speechless for a moment.
After all, this woman had some relationship with Rutang. She was the mother-in-law of Uncle Rutang's daughter-in-law. She thought she could use this relationship to hurt Rutang, but she didn't expect that Yu Yaoyang actually stood up directly.
.
Ordinary people would have left the stage long ago if they were reprimanded, but this middle-aged woman was also thick-skinned and stayed to dig for clams. Seeing that Yu Yaoyang and Rutang were far away from her, she grabbed the girl next to her and whispered.
"Yingzi, do you think Jieliuzi and Rutang are living together? Or how come they are together? Although they are an unmarried couple, haven't they obtained their certificates yet?"
"Sixth Aunt, you and I came here together. Are we living together? Be careful not to let Yu Yaoyang hear." Yingzi didn't follow what Sixth Aunt said.
"Didn't you just make a little money from her? Why don't you just buy you off?" Aunt Six was unhappy.
"I'm not talking to Rutang because she received my seafood yesterday. I think Rutang is different from what is known in the village. She is a very nice girl."
Yingzi used to think that Rutang was a little arrogant, and she didn't talk to the villagers because she was a high school student. After meeting her yesterday, she found that Rutang is a very family girl. She was less talkative before, maybe because she was too shy, and now she is getting married.
, and talked too much.
"You were bribed by her small favors. Haha, what kind of good life can a girl marry a street kid have? I think she will be beaten sooner or later." Aunt Six continued sourly.
Yingzi was not happy to hear what she said and ran to another place with the basket.
"Bah, you unlucky guy who married a sick man, just hang out with Chen Rutang. Sooner or later, you will be beaten like her every day." Aunt Six whispered at Yingzi's back.
Not far away, Yu Yaoyang crossed his arms and squinted in the direction of Aunt Six.
"What are you looking at?" Rutang looked up and saw this scene and asked curiously.
"I look at the black cloud over the head of that long-tongued woman. I'm afraid she's going to be in bad luck." Yu Yaoyang said gloomily and sadly.
"Ah? Why didn't I see it?" Rutang looked for a long time and couldn't see where the black cloud was.
"I'll use a stone to open her head later. Won't she be in trouble? I looked at her and that beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep, she must have not farted well."
Yu Yaoyang stared at Aunt Six for a while, seeing the talkative woman chewing her tongue at one moment and looking at his future wife with a sly look on her face. He was very familiar with this look.
The talkative women in the village always did this when they talked about him behind his back.
"Why are you hitting her? She can say whatever she likes."
"Those hands are on my body, so I can hit them if I want!"
Well, Rutang was speechless for a moment, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with what he said...
