Beyond Gold and Jade [Interstellar ABO]

Chapter 20 Drought to death, flood to death from flood

Pei Qingque took off the vest and suit jacket, leaving only a white shirt with two buttons undone by Wen Jingyi, who still couldn't see it.He was covered in an oversized black leather apron, which looked like a child stealing an adult's clothes.

Seeing the funny scene where Pei Qingque was entangled with the straw hat, gloves and rubber shoes, Wen Jingyi put his fist to his mouth and fake coughed a few times, the redness could be seen on the wheat-colored cheeks, and said embarrassedly to Pei Qingque : "Actually, this is what my dad usually wears. It's a bit too big... Tsk, the organization is not thoughtful, it's the wrong organization."

After hearing this, Pei Qingque supported the hat on her head, and raised a face that was made smaller by the straw hat, with a very complicated expression: "The hobbies of your gangsters are really... different."

Wen Jingyi spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, with an innocent look on his face, he turned his face and gave a warm smile to the passing aunt: "Sister~ the new cabbage arrived today, take two catties of cabbage home to cook, eat vitamin supplements, it's good for your health!"

Pei Qingque got goosebumps all over her body from the sweet falsetto deliberately pinched out by the other party, even the man standing beside her who couldn't be seen took over and helped him fasten the straw hat rope Push more.

After fiddling with it for 5 minutes, it was at least dressed neatly.Pei Qingque looked around, took the man's hand and pulled it back a few steps, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand to hook the man's neck, and whispered to him: "I'll help Xiaowen sell vegetables later, By the way, I'll bring you a stool, and you just sit on it obediently, don't run around, and don't fight, understand?"

When the little guy spoke, his warm breath brushed against Meng Wangchuan's cheeks, and the back of his neck was tightly hooked by his slender forearm. Due to the height difference, he could only bend down cooperatively.After Pei Qingque lowered her voice, she would always speak with a sticky nasal sound, not only did not have the serious effect he wanted, but it was also extremely easy to make men distracted.

Halfway through the nagging, Pei Qingque turned her head vigilantly, and as expected, she met the man's icy and cold eyes—but Pei Qingque knew that although the other party looked serious and looked at him with calm and focused eyes, in fact I don't know where my attention has gone.

The bird squinted his eyes half-closed, ground his teeth quietly, pulled the man's wrist, pulled out a narrow wooden stool from the sundries under the cart, and placed it not far from the back of the cart.Then he jumped up and pressed the man's shoulders, forcing him to sit on the stool, with half of his hands on his hips: "What about you, just sit here, and I'll take you home after I get off work, do you understand?"

The word "off work" was new from Pei Qingque's mouth.

He cast his eyes straight on Pei Qingque, who turned around to help. The man's tall body was huddled on a narrow stool, and his eyes were dim. If Pei Qingque turned around at this time, he might be driven mad by the inside Surprised by the turbulent complex emotions.

——Two consecutive short and intensive consciousness projections within 24 hours, and the duration of the second time has exceeded the initial limit of six hours. The pain crazily ate every nerve and muscle of Meng Wangchuan .

But as long as he thinks that after disconnecting, such a lively, laughing and noisy, warm, breathing Pei Qingque will disappear before his eyes, and the conjecture that is just constructed will make Meng Wangchuan on the verge of losing control.

The little guy is still too young to realize the darkness and cruelty of this world, and he is defenseless and unsuspecting.How could he be left alone outside for so long?

The man sitting in the back of the scooter looked gloomy, even though the pain of splitting nerves swept through his body, he still didn't take the initiative to choose to end the process of consciousness projection.

However, at the same time, Pei Qingque, who was devoted to the fast-paced vegetable selling business, did not realize that she was being locked on by a bunch of scorching eyes.

Although it was only 05:30 in the morning, and even the sky was only half-bright, the faint sunlight was blocked by clouds, and the light coming out was only enough to illuminate a narrow road in the middle of the street, but there was no gunpowder smoke on Yandai Street. The war has begun.

The cries of the hawkers exploded in an instant, filling the entire street. The fat aunt next to Pei Qingque was so angry that his ears would go numb without using a horn.

Wen Jingyi on the opposite side of the cart is obviously used to this kind of business. While shouting loudly to attract customers, his hands didn't stop. Weighing food, collecting money, and giving change were swift and accurate, and Pei Qingque couldn't help it. applaud him.

After that, he successfully got a supercilious look from Boss Wen.

"Don't be idle." Taking advantage of the fact that a batch of goods had just been sold, Wen Jingyi raised his hand and wiped off the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: "Are you brother? If you are brother, come and sell vegetables with me." .”

The tone was so natural that Pei Qingque was at a loss, picked up a tomato in front of him, smiled awkwardly at Wen Jingyi, and said in a low voice, "But I don't know how to do it."

"Hi," Wen Jingyi waved his hands indifferently, and said cheerfully, "I don't need you to do any complicated work either."

Then he hooked his finger to Pei Qingque, motioning him to come over, then whispered to Pei Qingque's ear, and pointed quietly at the elderly grandparents, uncles and aunts who were carrying a small basket in twos and threes on the street They lowered their voices and whispered: "Did you see those people?"

Pei Qingque nodded in a daze, and then heard Wen Jingyi say: "It's fine if you see it, and you can smile at them later, and call when you see someone coming, and be sweet when you call, you know?" ?”

Although she felt that something was wrong, Pei Qingque was usually very cooperative when faced with areas she was not familiar with. She nodded and showed the elders' favorite sweet smile directly at the mother-in-law who was closest to her.

So in the next hour, Wen Jingyi, who had been impoverished for many years, finally experienced the feeling of softness when he received money.

The sun finally pierced through the clouds, and scattered gold scattered on the ground.

A trolley of green leafy vegetables was snapped up by enthusiastic aunts and aunts, leaving only a few crooked melons and dates in the empty trolley.

Wen Jingyi took off the apron in front of him, took out two bottles of water from the small wooden box under the cart, threw a bottle at Pei Qingque, and then unscrewed the cap of the water bottle in his hand, and took two mouthfuls of cold water without saying a word , wiped off the drops of water from the corner of his mouth, and said to Pei Qingque pantingly: "My buddy is awesome, you have potential, I really saw you right."

After hearing Wen Jingyi's words, Pei Qingque smiled at him rather embarrassedly.

In fact, most of the work was done by Wen Jingyi, he just had to stand by and smile, and occasionally collect money and deliver food, so it was relatively easy, so his cheeks were only slightly red, and he was not as tired as the other party Out of breath.

Wen Jingyi took the water and walked to Pei Qingque's side, motioning for him to squat down with him.The two little guys squatting on the side of the road, with the big straw hats on their heads and the yellow gloves on their bodies, really have the meaning of working people.

Facing the side of the road, Wen Jingyi tightened the cap of the water bottle in his hand, reached out and patted Pei Qingque's shoulder, with a very serious expression, and solemnly promised: "Brother, don't worry, it depends on the leaf of this cart. For the sake of it, I promised you to find a way to exchange resources for you before, and leave it to me."

After hearing this, Pei Qingque blinked her big eyes, held Wen Jingyi's hand, and was very moved: "You are such a good person."

Before Wen Jingyi could say anything to show his status as the big brother in the rivers and lakes, he sensitively caught a knife-like gaze from behind him, turned his head and found that it was that nervous big man again.

Wen Jingyi felt cold all over his body, so he quickly withdrew his hand, and secretly said to Pei Qingque in a voice that a big man could not hear, "Hey, the one in the back is from your family, right? It's been an hour, and the eyes are still there Sticking to you."

It was only then that Pei Qingque realized that she had actually left a (robot) man with a face of ice cubes behind for an hour, and suddenly she felt ill, and she didn't dare to look back, but wanted to look back, and finally she could only frown and say: "Oops, I forgot about him!"

"By the way, who is that big guy? Boyfriend? Bodyguard?" Wen Jingyi's gossip heart was burning, and seeing that Pei Qingque didn't answer, he boldly guessed: "Damn, it can't be your father, right? "

"!!!" Seeing that Wen Jingyi's guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Pei Qingque quickly interrupted him to tell the truth: "Actually, I don't know too well, but I guess it should be Meng...well, it's one of mine, A relative sent to guard, uh, guard me."

The bad relationship between Mr. Meng and him was known by outsiders, so Pei Qingque could only deliberately obscure the identity of the other party, giving Wen Jingyi a plausible reason with ambiguity.

"Tsk tsk," Wen Jingyi's eyes on Pei Qingque changed instantly, and his tone was sour: "It's great that the player even sent someone to take care of you when you came out. I saw everything, and he even helped you get dressed before."

Pei Qingque knew that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly shook her head: "What, he is a mutant monitor, very strict. I even came out to accompany you today, um, to experience life with you, and I begged for a long time."

Shuangshuang sighed, and Wen Jingyi mourned: "My dad doesn't care about me, it's annoying."

Pei Qingque was worried: "Sir, you care too much, it's annoying."

The two little guys squatting on the side of the road looked at each other, each with their own vicissitudes: ...

Alas, it's really a drought to death, and a flood to death.

Before the two of them had a chat about why, they heard an old voice not far away: "Jingyi, Jingyi?" Hearing this voice, Wen Jingyi suddenly stood up .

Not knowing why, Pei Qingque got up and saw an elderly mother-in-law walking towards Wen Jingyi a few meters away.

Obviously this is Wen Jingyi's old acquaintance, he stuffed the water bottle gloves into Pei Qingque's hand, and quickly said: "Help me hold it for a while, thank you brother." Then he changed it immediately With a smile like a flower, she enthusiastically ran towards the direction that the mother-in-law came.

The high ponytail swept the floor at the back of her neck, making Pei Qingque dazzled a little. With her slender and tall figure and sweet and soft voice, she really couldn't tell that she was a boy at all.

Wen Jingyi had just left the stall a few steps, when Pei Qingque was sighing, he heard a hoarse male voice from behind, turned around, and saw a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, holding a bag in his hand. They sold the remaining half of the pumpkin, and asked with a smile: "Little boss, how do you sell this pumpkin?"
