Rebirth 80: Beautiful Hot Wife in Charge

Chapter 18 This is called healthy competition

"Aunt Guihua, what are you doing?" A woman came over carrying a basket of vegetables.

Xue Xiaozhu and the old lady were hiding in a corner of the family compound, and they did look a bit sneaky.

Hearing the woman's question, the old lady subconsciously covered the bucket: "Nothing, why don't you go buy some vegetables."

If this woman knew there were eels, she would definitely snatch them from me.

Xue Xiaozhu also noticed that the old lady was quite nervous: "Sister, would you like some eels and loaches?"

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and everyone in the surrounding family compounds heard it.

When they heard that there were eels and loaches for sale, several people around them looked delighted and gathered around.

"How big are the eels and loaches? How much are they selling for?"

"Hey, don't you know the first come first served rule? Don't step on my feet, or I'll push you!"

"The eels are really big, and the loaches are not small either. Two of these big eels can make a whole bowl of stir-fried rice."

"My husband loves to eat eels. He was even talking about wanting to eat them before going to bed last night. What a coincidence."

You can buy eels and loaches without a ticket, and several people have already squatted down to pick eels.

The old lady holding the child saw that they had already started to pick and cried out, "I was here first!"

"Girl, I came here first, so can you let me choose first?" The old lady stopped bargaining.

There was a smile in Xue Xiaozhu's eyes. Since people were competing to sell these eels and loaches, she wouldn't think they were too expensive.

"Seventy cents a pound, no ticket needed. Don't worry, everyone, I have half a bucket here!"

"Eels and loaches are the same price. Buy two pounds and I'll give you a bonus. These mud snails are delicious too."

Although the smell of snail paste is a bit strong, as long as the fishy smell is removed, it can also be a meat dish.

Nowadays, most people crave meat. If you buy two kilograms of meat, you can get half a kilogram of snails for free. Who wouldn’t want it?

"I don't want the big ones, I want the small ones. My husband likes to eat the small ones, saying they are tender." One woman was not in a hurry to pick the big ones. She picked all the small ones into the bag.

Xue Xiaozhu borrowed a scale from someone else's house, and after seeing that they had chosen, he asked them to weigh themselves one by one.

Half a bucket of eels and loaches was sold out very quickly, and the people who came later couldn't even buy loaches.

A bucket of eels and loaches weighed 15 pounds together, and I made a total profit of 10.5 yuan.

Holding these banknotes, Xue Xiaozhu felt a little excited, even more excited than if he had earned millions.

It wasn’t easy, I finally had money in my pocket.

"Girl, do you have eggs at home? I want to buy some." A woman's daughter had just given birth.

She wanted to buy some eggs to nourish her daughter, but the supply and marketing cooperative required egg coupons to buy eggs, and she didn't have any.

When Xue Xiaozhu heard the word "eggs", her mind quickly turned: "Yes, of course not. How many do you want?"

"I want thirty, the more the better." The woman wanted to buy more and save them as her daughter needed to stay in confinement for thirty days.

Eating an egg a day will nourish your body better. After you have recovered from the confinement period, you will have the energy to go back to work in the factory!

"Girl, bring all the eggs you have here. Everyone here wants to buy them!"

This woman was not the only one who wanted to buy eggs. Many people wanted to buy eggs.

Eggs cost seven cents each. Xue Xiaozhu thought that many people in the village had saved eggs, so they should be able to receive some.

However, if the people in the old house find out that I am collecting eggs in the village, I will definitely be questioned.

"Okay, I'll bring the eggs tomorrow morning." Xue Xiaozhu decided to go somewhere else to collect them.

Those who didn't buy eels were extremely happy when they heard that eggs would be available for purchase tomorrow.

After returning the borrowed scale, Xue Xiaozhu also gave the man a pound of snails, which made the person who borrowed the scale very happy.

You have to pay for a pound of snails, but you can get them for free if you borrow them. How great is that!

After making an agreement with the people in the family compound, Xue Xiaozhu went to the state-owned restaurant carrying the empty bucket.

Xue Xiaozhu bought five big buns at 20 cents each.

Nowadays, the big buns are really solid and the meat inside is also very big.

Smelling the aroma of meat, Xue Xiaozhu ate one to fill his stomach. He had not eaten anything since morning.

She entered the supply and marketing cooperative with nine yuan and fifty cents in her pocket, hoping to buy a kerosene lamp, matches, and various other small items.

If there is no light at home, you have to go to bed as soon as it gets dark.

She also wanted to buy a pot, but iron ones were hard to come by and very expensive.

If he bought the pot, he wouldn't be able to buy anything else, so Xue Xiaozhu reluctantly gave up.

After putting the things he bought into a clean bucket, Xue Xiaozhu only had five dollars left.

The money was too much to bear. Xue Xiaozhu felt painful about it, but he had to buy these things.

The sun had already risen, and she hurried to the meeting place. When she looked up, she saw Gu Chengzhou.

No wonder many aunts have been eager to marry their daughters to Gu Chengzhou recently.

Although he has a scar on his face, it does not conceal Gu Chengzhou's tough temperament.

Soldiers are very popular nowadays and they don’t have to worry about not finding wives.

"Comrade Gu, I'm here. Come on, have a meat bun, it's still hot!" Xue Xiaozhu stuffed the hot meat bun into his hand without waiting for him to refuse, urging him to eat quickly.

Xue Xiaozhu couldn't just sit there and say nothing since he rode his bike back and forth.

Looking at the meat bun in his hand, Gu Chengzhou was about to refuse: "Okay, thank you."

Hearing that he did not refuse, Xue Xiaozhu smiled like a flower, which made Gu Chengzhou stunned.

"Come on, I'll take you back to the village." Gu Chengzhou turned slightly and patted the back seat of the bicycle.

In the morning, the back seat of the bicycle was still an iron pole, but now there is a straw mat on it, tied tightly.

"When was it tied up?" Xue Xiaozhu touched the straw mat and found it was not so tight when he sat on it.

When Gu Chengzhou went to do something, he did it casually: "It didn't take long, sit down firmly."

When they rode back to the village, Xue Xiaozhu felt that his butt was much better. He didn't expect that this person was so thoughtful.

When they reached the village entrance, Xue Xiaozhu jumped off the back of the bicycle and said, "Comrade Gu, thank you."

"By the way, I'll return the flashlight to you when I have time." I really wish I had a flashlight myself.

Gu Chengzhou was not in a hurry, because he knew Xue Xiaozhu needed a flashlight to catch eels and loaches.

"Don't worry, you can use it first. I don't need it right now, so there's no need to be so polite."

"If you still need to go to the city tomorrow, I can lend you the bicycle." Gu Chengzhou said.

I didn’t expect that he was willing to lend me his bicycle. Xue Xiaozhu really thought that this person was so nice!

He is such a simple and enthusiastic man, although he doesn't talk much.

"Really? Can I borrow it today?" Xue Xiaozhu's old face turned red as he spoke.

She had to go to a village far away to collect eggs, and it was too far to walk there.

Gu Chengzhou looked at her blushing face, with a smile in his eyes, and agreed: "Okay, push it back!"

"If you need it tomorrow, you don't have to return it. I won't be using the bike for the next two days."

"But do I know how to ride?" Gu Chengzhou thought of a question.

Xue Xiaozhu, who had already mounted his bicycle, showed him how to ride it in circles with great technique.
