Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 80 Talking Hearts
In the evening, Ling Xiaohua and Ling Yue, who had finished their politics class, huddled together in the same bed. Ling Xiaohua lay beside Ling Yue, her face not half unhappy, and she said, "Sister, I feel that you have changed a lot this time."

The hair was cut short, the clothes on his body became more and more beautiful, and his face became much fairer.

It is completely different from the previous long-haired but sloppy image.

Ling Yue asked: "Xiaohua, tell me, how did you fall in love with He Zhigang?"

Thinking of He Zhigang's family having a drunkard father and a blind mother, Ling Yue felt very uncomfortable.

It’s okay if the family is poor, if you have money, you can buy a car and install X everywhere, regardless of the life or death of your parents.

Thinking back on the appearance of that man now, he was actually just that way, not tall, with a bit of buck teeth, except for his eyes, which were not bad, he was really useless.

Ling Yue really doesn't understand what Ling Xiaohua likes about such a man.

Ling Xiaohua rested her arm on her head and said, "He treats me well, as long as it's something I like, he'll buy it for me even if it's a waste of money."

"Confused!"

Ling Yue poked her forehead bitterly, "I heard from my mother that his mother is blind and his father is an alcoholic. He beat his mother when he was drunk. Is there such a thing?"

"I don't know, anyway, I didn't see his father beat his mother."

Ling Yue turned over and lay flat on the bed, "Do you know what his father said when I went to his house to find you today?"

"He said that his son is a waste, he can't even handle a woman."

When she heard this sentence, she was so angry that her heart ached.

She was even angrier than when she heard the phrase "another big girl, another one delivered to your door".

"His father doesn't respect his mother. If you really marry, why do you think he will treat you well? Living life is not about whether he treats you well, but the life after marriage."

Ling Xiaohua said seriously: "Sister, I really think so, as long as he treats me well."

She really thought so.

She liked him, and that was enough.

For the rest, she doesn't care at all.

Ling Yue sighed faintly: "Xiaohua, you are just like my sister, you have never read any books, and you don't have much culture. It's too simple to think about things. My sister only realized a truth after she got married."

"What kind of height you stand in the future depends on what kind of people you deal with now."

"He Zhigang didn't have a serious job on the one hand, and on the other hand, I don't think he's a lazy person."

"If you really marry her, do you really want to stay in this small mountain village and live on those two acres of Susukida in the future?"

Ling Xiaohua was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer her.

Ling Yue looked at her sideways: "Xiaohua, I won't say anything else, just take your brother-in-law as an example. Your brother-in-law is a college student, has a serious job, and has a stable income of more than 40 yuan a month."

"What do you think of your brother-in-law's condition?"

Ling Xiaohua blinked her eyes: "Very good, really. If I can marry someone like my brother-in-law, my whole life will be worth it."

More than 40 yuan a month is really a huge sum of money in this small mountain village.

In rural areas, especially in summer, farmers don’t have to pay for food at all. They can buy at most two packs of salt and two bottles of soy sauce.

If you want to eat meat, you can go to the town to cut some and feed some chickens and ducks. You don't have to worry about eggs at all.

Ling Yue was helpless: "Little sister, do you really think that you can live well with 40 yuan?"

So childish!

Just look at the surface of everything, there will be times when you will cry in the future.

"Xiaohua, I don't think there's much work in the field during this time, how about you go to Qingpu City with us this time, to experience life in Qingpu City?"

Ling Xiaohua looked at her in shock: "Sister, are you trying to force me to break up with He Zhigang?"

"What forced you to break up?" Ling Yue said bitterly, "I want to take you to see the outside world. Why did you force you to break up with He Zhigang?"

"I won't go." Ling Xiaohua turned her back to Ling Yue angrily, and her voice came in a husky voice: "Besides, where did I go to live?"

"I won't force you if you don't go. Apart from celebrating my mother's birthday when I come back this time, I just want to take the two of you out one by one."

After the lobbying failed, Ling Yue yawned, "It's getting late, go to bed early, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Ling Yue soon fell asleep, and Ling Xiaohua fell into deep thought listening to her even breathing.

On August [-]th, Mother Ling's birthday banquet officially began.

Early in the morning, the villagers spontaneously came to help, and there was no need for the Ling family to notify them.

The tables and stools were borrowed from door to door by Ling Qingfeng and Ling Zeyang with the able-bodied young men in the village.

The bowls and chopsticks are from the public.

Anyone who hosts a banquet can borrow public tableware, and the women will clean the borrowed dishes, but if they are damaged, they must be compensated according to the price.

The accountant with a good handwriting in the village personally took part in the favor registration office, and even the couplets were written by him.

These days, everyone eats one or two yuan, just for fun.

But when Wang Zhaoyang sent the favor, the accountant couldn’t help shaking his hands when he saw the money he had given out—Wang Zhaoyang directly sent a gift of 500 yuan and a plaque of Shoubi Nanshan, signed by his son-in-law Wang Zhaoyang and his family.

Ji Zhongqiu gave away 100 yuan without hesitation.

Ji Zhongqiu's generosity, as a strange face, spent so much money to have a banquet in the small mountain village, everyone's eyes on him changed.

In just one hour, the news that the eldest daughter of the Ling family had made a fortune spread like wildfire in the Ling family village, and even Ji Zhongqiu shared it by the way.

At twelve noon, the birthday banquet officially began.

There are a total of [-] dishes, including braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised fish, stewed chicken with mushrooms, daylily meatball soup, pork belly cuttlefish soup, seasonal vegetables, etc. The most important dish on the birthday banquet is longevity noodles. This bowl of noodles is a must indispensable.

These days, there is less fat and water in the stomach of the big guy. Seeing so many dishes, the big guy opened his belly, and his mouth was full of oil.

After Ling's father and Ling's mother brought Ling Qingfeng to the table to toast, Ling Yue took Wang Zhaoyang and Ling Xiaohua to the table to deliver the bulk goods she had prepared.

Although the things Ling Yue prepared were very common, each pack contained six green-skinned oranges, which further convinced people that they had indeed made a fortune.

After the banquet was over, Ling Yue wanted to rush back to do business for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she bid farewell to the elders of both parties and packed up her things.

But Ling Xiaohua reluctantly followed them under the persecution of the elders.

It was already seven o'clock in the morning on August [-]th when we returned to Qingpu City.

Ling Yue and his group barely rested. When they returned to the store, the two sisters Chen Zhaodi had already opened the door.

Fortunately, Ling Yue told Chen Zhaodi that she wanted her to call as many people as possible in the family courtyard for help in the past two days, and Chen Zhaodi lived up to expectations, she called six people in one go.

After Ling Yue came back, she didn't have time to rest. After the sisters from the family building arrived, they held a short meeting, and then took them to rearrange their clothes.
