Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 125 Deliberately

This man is indeed not easy to fool. Could he have been a scout before he retired from the army? Tao Qiuyi complained in her heart. However, he has policies from above and she has countermeasures from below, so she is not afraid of him.

"Selling!" Tao Qiuyi stretched out his foot to hook a stool over, sat down and spoke seriously, "Opening a business, selling cooked food or raw food, it's all business, the only difference is the price."

"If you think one pig's trotter is too little, I can talk to the kitchen staff and sell us another one."

It just so happened that she had a pig's trotter in her ring space, so it didn't matter if she took it out as well.

She just didn't believe it, so he went to the kitchen to find someone to verify it himself.

Wei Jingyuan coughed lightly, "No need, one pig's trotter is enough. Let's go, it's time to go back."

After saying that, Wei Jingyuan stood up with his cane and walked towards the door first.

Li Zi and Xiao Huai didn't move, and both looked at Tao Qiuyi.

Little guy, I can't fool you, Tao Qiuyi snorted complacently, looking at the back of the man walking with one foot high and one foot low on a crutch, the complacency in his heart gradually faded away.

I felt a little dazed, and a strange feeling arose in my heart.

Soon realizing that he was distracted, Tao Qiuyi stood up and saw the twins still standing there. He asked casually, "Why didn't you two leave?"

"Waiting for you." Li Zi and Xiao Huai answered in unison.

What, waiting for her, are you so dependent on her? Tao Qiuyi glanced at Li Zi and Xiao Huai, then at Wei Jingyuan who was almost at the door. They didn't rely on their own big brother so much.

However, it feels good to be depended on and needed.

The two little ones were just as pitiful as the older one. Tao Qiuyi's heart was so soft, "Be good, go out with your big brother first. I'll go to the counter to buy some things."

She just saw that the big meat buns freshly baked in the kitchen were delicious and she had to take some back to try.

Li Zi handed the pig's trotter in her hand to Xiao Huai and said, "I'll go with my sister-in-law. I'll help her get the things."

"We're not buying anything heavy, so you two should go outside first..." Before he could finish his words, Tao Qiuyi saw a woman standing in front of Wei Jingyuan at the door of the hotel.

I don’t know what the two are talking about?
Tao Qiuyi said in a deep voice: "Lizi, Xiaohuai, go quickly, there is a woman approaching your eldest brother, go and help me drive her away."

This sentence instantly diverted Li Zi's attention. Her body reacted faster than her brain and she turned around and ran outside.

Xiao Huai glanced at Tao Qiuyi and quickly followed.

You little brats, I can’t deal with you two. Tao Qiuyi curled her lips into a smile and walked towards the counter.

Two large steamers filled with large, freshly baked meat buns, each one steaming hot and plump, very tempting. Tao Qiuyi had sold a few earlier, so she asked the waiter to count how many were left, and she bought them all.

The waitress who was in charge of selling the buns was also in charge of the cash register at the restaurant. She remembered Tao Qiuyi and knew that she was a decisive person, so she quickly helped her count. There were a total of thirty-seven big meat buns.

Tao Qiuyi asked the waiter to pack it for her, dividing it into five portions, three portions of ten packed together, and the remaining seven packed into two portions.

After the buns were packed, Tao Qiuyi handed the money and tickets to the waiter, and she put the packed buns into the cloth bag she carried with her. Twenty buns were placed in the ring space, and fourteen were actually placed in the cloth bag.

After taking the change from the waiter, Tao Qiuyi went out.

Outside the restaurant, Uncle Li had already driven the ox cart over, and Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings were sitting on the cart waiting for her.

Walking up to Uncle Li, Tao Qiuyi handed him three large meat buns. Uncle Li took them, puzzled. Tao Qiuyi turned and jumped onto the ox cart, sitting down next to Wei Jingyuan. When he opened the paper bag and saw three large, steaming meat buns inside, Uncle Li was stunned.

It took a while for Uncle Li to come back to his senses. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He hadn't eaten lunch, so he was already hungry. Seeing the big meat buns and smelling their fragrance made him even hungrier.

But no matter how hungry you are, you can't shamelessly take advantage of Jingyuan's family.

Closing the paper bag, Uncle Li hurried to the back of the truck and handed it over. "Jingyuan's wife, I can't have this. Take it back quickly."

The fragrance from the paper bag wafted out, and Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings smelled a familiar scent, the smell of the big meat buns they had eaten in the state-owned restaurant.

So, the paper bag contained big meat buns, and the three siblings all looked at Tao Qiuyi.

She said she was going to the counter to buy something, specifically meat buns for Uncle Li.

Tao Qiuyi didn't reach out to take it. He just looked at Uncle Li and said, "It's just three buns. It's not something expensive. Uncle Li, don't refuse it. Eat it quickly."

"I'm still waiting for you to take me to the scrap yard in a bullock cart, and then take us back to the village."

"You rented the oxcart for the day. I'll take you wherever you want to go." Uncle Li insisted, "But the big meat buns are too expensive. I really can't accept them."

"Food is not so precious at all." In Tao Qiuyi's eyes, meat buns are just ordinary food.

It has nothing to do with the word precious.

"You gave me corn cakes this morning. I really can't have this meat bun." Uncle Li couldn't argue with her, so he could only keep a sad face and not take his hand back.

"Once something is given away, there is no reason to take it back." Tao Qiuyi insisted on not accepting it.

Is there such a saying? Wei Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Tao Qiuyi, and said to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, this is given to you, just eat it."

He knew that this little woman was generous and never said anything insincere.

Uncle Li saw Wei Jingyuan trying to persuade him, and he said disapprovingly, "Jingyuan, why do you say that? You should persuade your wife to take the buns back."

"Uncle Li, our sister-in-law never says polite words. She gives you buns, so just eat them." Li Zi also said.

Xiao Huai didn't say anything, but nodded.

Seeing the four of them like this, Uncle Li was moved and could only reluctantly withdraw his hand, walk back to the front, climb onto the seat, and drive the ox cart towards the scrap station.

When they arrived at the door of the scrap station, the ox cart had just stopped. Tao Qiuyi asked them to wait for a few minutes, then jumped off the ox cart and walked into the scrap station.

In less than ten minutes, Tao Qiuyi came out.

Seeing her come out empty-handed, Wei Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you buy some useless books to use for making fire?"

Tao Qiuyi glared at Wei Jingyuan. This guy must have done it on purpose. Didn’t he know what she was going to do with the book?
"Sister-in-law, do you want to buy some books to use for making a fire?" Li Zi asked blankly.

Because Uncle Li could hear them from the front, Tao Qiuyi replied, "I heard someone say that buying old books is convenient for making a fire at home, so I thought I'd try it."

"Last time I rented a bullock cart to bring your eldest brother to the hospital for a checkup, and I stopped by here to buy some useless books."

"On the way back, Uncle Li told me that buying used books to light a fire at home is something only people in the city do. In our village, people go to the big bamboo forest to pick up dead bamboo leaves to light a fire at home."
