The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 122 I won't trade with Mei Niang even if I have money

Just as Chen Huaiyang walked forward, Mei Niang rushed out, her face wrinkled with smile, and she looked calculating.

It must be that he can make money, and she has all kinds of ideas. She had previously felt that there were problems with his character, and the person who talked about him the most was her. Who doesn't know what kind of person she is? She saw an opportunity to take advantage and wanted to come over again.

It’s hard to describe. Who is the fool? I don’t understand!
Chen Huaiyang greeted her perfunctorily, "Mei Niang, I'm busy!"

The other party was running towards him, so he had to say hello. It would make people feel that he was a grown man but was so stingy.

Mei Niang smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, have you received the remittance?"

Chen Huaiyang guessed that the other party had some plan, and nodded with a smile, "I got it. You are busy, so I won't bother you anymore."

I don't want to mess around, I just want to leave as soon as possible. Talking too much is a waste of words.

Mei Niang stopped him and said, "Xiao Chen, I have a puppy and my family can't afford to raise it. Do you think you can raise it?"

"It's hard to feed people these days, let alone dogs! You have to feed them and give them a life!"

"I know you're a good comrade. This is a life after all. You can't just watch it die in vain, right?"

Chen Huaiyang frowned, thinking that she was really calculating. She was just thinking about the little money in his pocket. Why was she smiling at him? It seemed that something was wrong.

"Why would you let me raise your dog? Mei Niang is so easy to talk to today. If you fatten it up a bit and kill it for a meal, it will be a good meal! Are you willing to give it to others like this?"

Mei Niang's smile almost froze when she heard this. "Look at what you said. This dog can't be kept alive at home. We can't find a good owner for it."

"I want to fatten it up and then kill it for food, but there is not enough food! I might as well raise a chicken instead of this thing!" At least chickens can lay eggs, and the eggs can be saved and exchanged for other items.

"I don't need much money to raise you, just 10 yuan will be enough."

Chen Huaiyang sneered, "Mei Niang, if you are caught for speculation, you will be put in jail. I dare not do such a thing."

Mei Niang snorted, "This isn't a business, we're just exchanging."

"I did it secretly and no one saw me. Who could understand?"

"Didn't you make an appointment with Xiao Wang to go to his house tonight to get some Xiaomi? Don't you understand each other? Why are you talking nonsense when you come to me?"

Chen Huaiyang waved his hand, "Then you are wrong, I didn't buy it from him, I just went to exchange it with him."

"You should keep your puppy for yourself. I don't have any extra food. I'm struggling so hard myself that I don't have time to take care of a dog."

"You can find someone else. I'm not a homosexual person."

He didn't dare to get involved with someone like Mei Niang. If he stabbed her in the back, it would be troublesome.

Troubles that can be avoided must be nipped in the bud.

Mei Niang was dumbfounded when she saw the people who were unable to avoid her and were walking away. Why did it feel like they were being chased by a dog?

As for?
If he hadn't had money, she wouldn't have wanted to give the dog to him!

She brought this dog back from her mother's home, and her sister-in-law feels so sorry for it!
I was willing to give it to him, but he still despised it. It's really unreasonable.

Mei Niang pouted and went back to work reluctantly, still thinking about selling the dog.

Chen Huaiyang's hurried pace did not change at all. With someone like Mei Niang, he could not get rid of her even if he was associated with her, and he did not want to make trouble for himself.

He didn't dare to take her dog even if they wanted to exchange it for his.

If he ever goes back on his word and makes a scene, he would find it troublesome.

They returned to the educated youth camp as quickly as possible and worked quietly. Chen Huaiyang was rarely lazy again. It was not his turn to work today, so he could go out for a walk.

I have a chicken at home, so I usually get some snails and crack them for him to eat. I can take the opportunity to go to the river and see if I can get some shrimps and crabs.

After figuring it out, I took a bucket and dustpan and went out.

The thing that is most abundant at the riverside is kids. When the weather is hot and humid, they like to play in the water. The waterside is every child’s favorite place to play.

Fortunately, after being scolded, they all knew to play in shallow water. As long as they didn't run into deep water to take risks, he was too lazy to say any more nonsense.

There are quite a few snails in the puddle. I pick them up and put them in a bucket. Then I go back and crack them to feed the chickens. The eggs they lay become bigger.

I also turned over rocks to look for crabs. Not to mention I actually found some. I also caught some shrimps with a dustpan, so it was quite a small harvest.

The little brats saw it and came over to him.

"Brother Yang, we'll find you some crabs and cook them. Can we have a taste of them?"

Chen Huaiyang looked at them. Mei Niang's grandson was trying to trip him up and also helped him identify them.

"Okay, you have to find two crabs and I'll let you try one. It will be fried until crispy and coated with a spoonful of salt. It will be so delicious that you'll lick your fingers."

The children's eyes lit up, "No problem, I know there are crabs there, we will take action right away."

"Anyone who wants to eat fried crabs should be more active. If you can't catch them or taste them, you are not allowed to cry."

Chen Huaiyang watched a boy leading the way and shook his head with amusement. Children of this age love to play the most. They go up mountains and swim in water. They are full of energy and never feel sleepy no matter how much they do.

If they could really catch it, he wouldn't lose out. He could exchange one for another and have a good meal.

As the saying goes, more people means more work, and he really caught quite a few people!

I also picked up a lot of snails, so they should be enough to feed them for a few days.

"You have good fighting power. I'll give you one as a reward. Go back and buy some salt and fry the crabs."

Having said this, he led a group of children back like a leader.

I scooped a full spoonful of oil, threw the cleaned crabs in, fried them until crispy, then served them up and sprinkled them with salt. Before I even put them in my mouth, I swallowed them repeatedly just by smelling the smell.

The children gathered around him, looking at him eagerly, licking their lips frequently, and were extremely anxious. "Brother Yang, are you almost done?"

Chen Huaiyang looked at their greedy expressions, filled a bowl with some, and shouted, "Go line up outside, one for each person."

The children who were given the fried crabs took small bites of them in their hands, and were reluctant to chew them in big mouthfuls.

"Brother Yang, you are so generous. I can't even eat it once a year! My grandma would never waste oil like this."

"It's the same at my house. We can use up this pot of oil for a week!"

Chen Huaiyang picked up a crab and put it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound. "Stop mumbling, eat it quickly, and then go home."

"If you feel hungry next time, I'll take you to catch some when I have time. Not to mention eating your fill, it's no problem to have a taste of the greasy smell and keep it."

"You can't go catch them by yourselves. I don't have time, and I won't let you eat them even if I catch them. I have to lead you to catch them myself before you can eat them."

He didn't dare to make a promise casually. If something went wrong while catching crabs by the river, he wouldn't be able to take the responsibility.
