Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Ding Yang got up at around 6 a.m. the next morning.

"Grandpa, why are you up so early?"

"I'm used to it."

"Grandpa, I need to go to town. I'll transfer some money to you later."

"No need to transfer it. Grandpa will have money from selling pigs. All the money Grandpa earns will be yours in the future. It's the same for you. I won't spend much money on your grandma. After Grandpa and Grandma die, if you are well-off, you can have a big banquet."

"Grandpa, you're still in good health. You should live for at least another 30 years."

"I would be content to live another 10 years."

"Grandpa, are you going to town?"

"Grandpa isn't going. When someone comes to see the pigs, we'll sell those fat pigs first, and then sell the sows later."

"Grandpa, I'll still be at home these next few days. Please sell them as soon as possible so I can help out. Once you stop raising pigs and just rest at home, I'll feel much more at ease."

"How about this, I know you can't stay idle, I'll find you some work to do."

"What kind of work?"

"Once the pigs are sold, we'll tear down this house and rebuild a villa. We'll contract out the whole thing, and you can just supervise the construction."

"You brat, where did you get so much money?"

"Grandpa, what do you think?"

"Xiaoyang, if we want to build a nice little villa now, with both interior and exterior decoration, it will probably cost 50 yuan."

"Grandpa, I'll give you a million yuan, and the rest is for your retirement."

"You brat, trying to make empty promises to your grandpa, huh?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't just make empty promises. I'll transfer the money to you in a few days."

"However, if we want to build villas, we definitely have to sell these pigs, otherwise we won't have enough land and we'll have to demolish all these pigsties."

"Either don't do it at all, or do it like a garden, tear down these pigsties and build a small garden."

"Okay, Grandpa likes this job. If I can build a big villa with my own hands, I can die in peace."

"Okay, it's settled then. You should sell the pigs quickly."

"Don't worry, they'll sell out in a week."

Ding Yang got into the car and drove to town.

He had just arrived at the small stone bridge when, to his surprise, Zhang Feng was already waiting for him at the bridgehead.

Ding Yang parked the car.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"I'll wait for you here. I know you'll go to town."

"Get in the car!"

Zhang Feng got on the bus.

"Xiaoyang, is this a Mercedes? This car is very expensive."

"Whether it's expensive or not is none of my business. It's the boss's car anyway, and I can't afford it."

"Sister-in-law, are you going to buy groceries?"

"Yeah, I haven't been to town for a few days, I'm going to buy some groceries."

"Fasten your seatbelts!"

"oh!"

"Sister-in-law, how is your recovery going?"

"It's alright. When you went out last time, I was on my way back by car and I bled quite a bit. I had to stay in bed for two days."

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to get you pregnant."

"Xiaoyang, I'm not sorry, I just feel it's a pity. If we hadn't had the abortion, you would be over seven months along now, almost ready to give birth, and you could be a father."

"You're the only son in your family. It would be such a pity if you were a boy."

"Sister-in-law, giving birth isn't easy, and you still have to raise the baby. Besides, if the baby is really born, wouldn't Changgen fight you to the death?"

"I'm not afraid of him fighting me to the death. It's too late to say anything now, what a pity."

"Xiaoyang, how about we have another one?"

"Are you kidding me? Changgen is coming back soon, why would you want to have a baby?"

"Hehe, I want to fix it for you again, you can't complain about it."

"faint……"

Before long, the two arrived in town. At this time, there were quite a few people at the market, but most of them were middle-aged and elderly.

Ding Yang found a place to park the car.

"Sister-in-law, there's a rice noodle shop over there, let's go get some breakfast."

"OK!"

"Two bowls of Three Delicacies Rice Noodles."

"Xiaoyang, after you finish your noodles, you can go about your business and don't worry about me."

"Sister-in-law, how will you get back later?"

"I'll take a motorcycle back."

"Alright!"

After finishing breakfast, Ding Yang went to the end of the street to find Zhang Jianguo's parents.

Jianguo's parents ran a small business in town, selling paper money and wreaths.

Ding Yang arrived at the store.

The man was in his fifties, a little overweight, but still quite tall.

"Uncle Zhang!"

"Who are you……"

"Uncle Zhang, I'm Ding Yang, Jian Guo's classmate."

"Oh, it's Jian Guo's classmate, please sit down!"

Ding Yang quickly took out a Furongwang cigarette and gave it to the other person.

"Uncle, I just came back from Dongguan yesterday. I was with Jianguo."

"Oh, you work in an electronics factory too."

"I'm not at the factory; I'm doing some small business in Chang'an."

"oh!"

"Uncle Zhang, how are you feeling?"

"My health is alright. Anyway, I do some small business, I don't earn much money, but I'm not starving."

Just then, Jianguo's mother came out.

"Hello, Auntie!"

"good!"

Jianguo's father said, "This is Xiao Ding, Jianguo's classmate, who is with Jianguo in Dongguan."

"Oh, Xiao Ding, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I ate. I just ate at the noodle shop."

Ding Yang took out 1 yuan from his pocket.

"Auntie, this is what Jianguo asked me to bring you. It's 1 yuan. Please count it."

"Xiao Ding, I spoke to him on the phone a few days ago, and he didn't tell you to bring money back."

"Auntie, I came back temporarily too."

"oh!"

"Xiao Ding, you and Jianguo are classmates and you're together. Does he have a girlfriend?"

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

"During the Dragon Boat Festival, I asked him to come back for a blind date, but he said he had a girlfriend and didn't want to come back. That brat, I suspect he's lying."

"Auntie, Jianguo wasn't lying. He works in a factory making molds and is a skilled worker. His factory is huge, with tens of thousands of employees, the vast majority of whom are girls. It would be easy for him to find a girlfriend."

"What's the point of dating someone from out of town? Local girls are the only reliable ones."

"Auntie, that's just your prejudice. What's wrong with girls from other places? Our local girls are always playing mahjong or cards, what's so great about that?"

"Xiao Ding, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes, I've also started dating someone from another city, and it's going very well."

"You guys are still too young. Girls from outside might not be approved by their parents. Some have been married here for two years, even had children, and still ran away. You don't even know where to find them anymore. Local girls are familiar and well-known. When it comes to marrying, you should still look for a local."

"Auntie, Jianguo didn't tell me either. As far as I know, his girlfriend seems to be from our county, but I don't know the specifics."

"real?"

"I'm not entirely sure myself. You can call Jianguo and ask him when you have time."

"Okay, it would be great if she were a local girl. It doesn't matter if she's from the same county."

"Auntie, Uncle, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll be returning to Dongguan in a few days. Is there anything you'd like to bring for Jianguo?"

"It's nothing, now that we have cell phones, it's easy to make calls."

"Okay, I'll be going then."

"Xiao Ding, have lunch before you leave."

"Auntie, it's still early for lunch. Let's talk about it another time. I'll be going now."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."
