The world is full of malice

People in rural areas have the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, so the next day the cock crowed three times before the village became lively.

Shi Xiaobai's family got up earlier because they received Zhen Tianran. Zhen Tianran got up together, served yellow millet porridge, green and crispy pickles, a small dish of bacon, and four petals of salted duck eggs dripping with oil. up.

Zhen Tianran went to bed too late last night, and at this moment she was a little sluggish. Seeing this, Shi Xiaobai's mother obviously misunderstood. I'm here to play, although there are no good things to entertain, but for the children in the city, it is good to go to the fields to see the scenery.

Shi Xiaobai looked at Zhen Tianran in embarrassment, wondering if he should translate or not.

But when Zhen Tianran saw the food, he immediately regained his energy. While carrying the chopsticks like flying, he said to Shi Xiaobai, "Hurry up and eat, let's go to the county to rent a house as soon as possible!"

Shi Xiaobai happily agreed, and started to eat along with Zhen Tianran.

After dinner, Shi Xiaobai and his parents explained where they were going. They were of course very happy to see that Zhen Tianran was not joking. They immediately pulled the ox cart and planned to take Zhen Tianran to the city.

Zhen Tianran knew that the ox cart was expensive, so he planned to decline. He was not a delicate person, and it was fine to go by himself, but the enthusiastic villagers would not agree, so in the end Zhen Tianran got into the ox cart.

There is a reason why he asked Shi Xiaobai to accompany him. The people here all speak dialects. Even if it is Mandarin, it is the kind of dialect sandwiched between them. Even if he can understand it, he can't speak it. It is easy to be deceived .

On the way, he discussed with Shi Xiaobai. He charged [-] cents for cabbage, [-] cents for potatoes, and [-] cents for sweet potatoes. I don't know if it is appropriate.

Shi Xiaobai actually didn't know, but the villagers who sent them over anxiously waved their hands and said something to Shi Xiaobai.

Shi Xiaobai translated it, and the uncle said that such a high price is not necessary, it is too high, this is not acceptable.

Zhen Tianran has a thrifty temperament, otherwise he would not have been reborn for so long to start harvesting vegetables so cautiously, but he is not a stingy person, especially when facing such enthusiastic and honest villagers, so he smiled and said, " That's the price, uncle, I can't lose anything, don't worry."

The uncle sent Zhen Tianran and Shi Xiaobai to the intersection of the county town and then went back. He wanted to tell everyone the price of Zhen Tianran's collection of vegetables to make the villagers happy. He also told everyone to hurry up and collect the vegetables. , can't let him stay here for too long.

Zhen Tianran and Shi Xiaobai got out of the car and started to feel around. Although it is more convenient to go to the city to find a house, it would be more burdensome for the villagers of Sanxing Village who can only use bullock carts to transport vegetables.

The county’s economy is not developed, so most of the houses are one-story houses, a bit like courtyard houses, and a bit dense. There are also some rented out, but they are all wing rooms, and they have to be together with the owner’s house.

Shi Xiaobai thinks this is fine, because the price is cheap.

But Zhen Tianran knew that was absolutely impossible, otherwise it would be impossible to explain to others why there was no car and the things in the yard were gone.

So he could only fool Shi Xiaobai, "The boss heard that there are so many dishes here, so he came here in person, but, the boss's face is full of pockmarks, and most people are afraid when they see it. He also sees others. It’s not comfortable, so I have to rent a remote one, one near the main road, and a detached house.”

So the two searched for a long time, but they did find a lonely house on the side of the road, but it was already in a semi-abandoned state. It was so suitable, so the two still asked for a long time and found the owner.

The landlord was very surprised when he knew that they were going to rent the house. He spoke Mandarin, but what he said...

"Someone lied to you two, right? When I built this house, the foundation was quite deep, and there was no treasure underneath. I also dug a big cellar in the yard, and there was nothing there."

Zhen Tianran was embarrassed by the real homeowner, "No, I just want to order food. You are far away from other homes, so you don't disturb the people, and you enter from the side of the road, which is convenient."

"Hey, look at you nagging, people from big cities are civilized and polite, with high quality and good morals. No wonder you can do such a big business at such a young age."

Zhen Tianran was swayed by the praise, "Then do you want to rent this house?"

"Rent, it's not a waste of time, it's good for you to live in it, to add some popularity, if you leave it like this, I'm worried about being haunted."

Zhen Tianran really wants to say, uncle, don't be so serious, if you keep talking like this, I don't know if I will rent it or not!

"Then you see how much money I can give you per month is suitable. Let me talk about it for a month. I will leave after I collect the food, so you can ask for a higher price."

"Hey, I just like a down-to-earth person like you. How about giving me 100 yuan a month? There are also some pots, pans, brooms and rags in the house. You can use them as you like. If you think it's too much, eight Ten is fine."

"...No, no need, just a hundred!" This uncle is more realistic than him!

Zhen Tianran took a pink banknote and handed it to the uncle, "Rent."

The uncle took out the key and handed it to Zhen Tianran, "Do I have to write you a receipt or something?"

The uncle paused after finishing speaking, "Well, my family was not very good when I was a child, so I didn't go to school for a few days, or you can write it and I will give you a fingerprint."

Zhen Tianran felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, "No need uncle, as long as you don't worry about me occupying your house, it's fine!"

"Then how can it be, my broken house is free and no one wants it." The uncle left happily after speaking.

Zhen Tianran and Shi Xiaobai opened the courtyard door, and the situation inside was really bad. Looking at the crooked house, it was full of dust, and except for one small room, the other rooms were almost leaking from all directions.

But for Zhen Tianran, who has experienced the end times, this is not a problem.

He fetched water with Shi Xiaobai, and wiped down the small room a little. Fortunately, there was still a single bed in the room, so he said to Shi Xiaobai, "Lend me your quilt later. ?"

Shi Xiaobai was surprised, "Do you want to live here by yourself at night?"

"Yes!"

"Why? Just go home with me tonight!"

"The boss wants to pull vegetables at night, how can I not be here!"

"Then I will accompany you."

Zhen Tianran really felt that if he told a lie, he would have to use a hundred lies to cover it up. If he continued like this, he would be struck by lightning, but he had no other choice but to take a deep breath and continue to lie to Shi Xiaobai, "Not yet Say it’s just a single bed, and say that the boss is a pockmark...he doesn’t want to be seen, otherwise why do you have to pick nights when you come to pull dishes!”

Shi Xiaobai wanted to say that this boss has a lot of eccentricities, but he thought that he had solved the big problem in his village, so he held back.

The two of them almost packed up the house and rushed to Sanxing Village. Zhen Tianran doesn't need to live here today, and will come with the ox cart with vegetables tomorrow morning.

The two deliberately didn't tell the villagers when they would go back, because they really didn't want to work for the villagers to pick them up, but when they arrived at the intersection, they saw the uncle driving the cart waiting for the two of them in the bullock cart. It was a guilty conscience.

When he returned to Shi Xiaobai's house, Shi Xiaobai's father was killing a big rooster. When he saw Zhen Tianran, he smiled very down-to-earth. Show Zhen Tianran the big cock that has fluffed and fluffed half.

"My dad said, you charge such a high price for vegetables, he killed a big rooster to thank you."

After hearing this, Zhen Tianran felt sweaty all over his body, "Don't bother, it's too expensive, I can eat whatever I want."

Although Papa Shi couldn't speak Mandarin, he could still understand it. Hearing what Zhen Tianran said, he smiled very generously, pointed to the yard, and said something.

"My dad said that everyone gave you delicious food, he can't be stingy, and don't worry, this is not an old hen that lays eggs, it doesn't matter."

Zhen Tianran really didn't know what to say, he looked into the yard, and sure enough, there were a lot of eggs, bacon and freshly killed chickens, ducks and geese piled up on the stone table. Pickle up, they don't have a fridge here, if not it will go bad very quickly.

Seeing Zhen Tianran looking at herself, Mother Shi also smiled, and said something to Shi Xiaobai.

Shi Xiaobai was very happy, "My mother said, after you collect the vegetables, some pigs will be slaughtered in the village. Then, you come to eat the butchered vegetables."

"Killing pigs?" Almost every family in Sanxing Village has a pigsty, and every family has at least two pigs, and they are all very fat. "Aren't you keeping them for the New Year? Why kill them now?"

"I don't need so much meat for the Chinese New Year. The village only kills a few pigs, and the family keeps a few kilograms, and the pig's head and offal are enough. It's okay to freeze outside this winter, and it will be done in spring. Bacon or bacon, or it's all bad."

"What about the rest? Have you kept them all the time?"

"Sell it!" Shi Xiaobai was even amused by Zhen Tianran, "After a while, it will be cold, there will be no grass on the mountain, and the vegetables in the field will be almost sold out. It is troublesome for people to eat. How can there be anything to feed pigs?" eat."

When Zhen Tianran heard this, he suddenly realized that when he repeatedly calculated and collected supplies, he always thought about the most basic food, oil, rice and noodles, but he never thought about meat...

Although he is usually not willing to eat meat, he really doesn't want to try it a second time after not eating meat for a year.

So he suddenly said carefully, "How do you sell meat?"

Shi Xiaobai didn't get angry when he mentioned this, "You said that we are in school, and a meat dish only has a few slices of meat, so it's a shame to sell it for several yuan. The hairy pork in my house is only three and five yuan a catty!"

When Zhen Tianran heard the price, he stuttered a bit, "Three yuan and five, so cheap, then, that, can you sell me some? I mean, the pockmarked boss must also accept meat, can you sell it to him? "
