"In this case, then you can save it and buy it when you have something you want to buy in the future," Shen Gongqi said.
"Fine"
Seeing that she had listened, Shen Gongqi went out to fetch water with an empty bucket.
It took five trips back and forth to fill all the empty water tanks at home.
In the afternoon, he went to work in the fields alone. Fang Nuo wanted to wait for her to wake up from her nap before going to do some work in the fields.
She felt that she went to work every day, but she couldn't actually do much work, and Shen Gongqi was the one who did the hard work.
Sometimes she even thought about quitting going to the fields so that Brother Qi would have less work to do.
But she was bored at home alone. Going out to work every day was like taking a break, and her mentality could feel better.
Thinking of these, she finally failed to express her intention to go home to raise the baby.
After work in the afternoon, the family returns home, carrying a basket and picking fruits and vegetables in the vegetable field.
Even little Yaya, carrying the small basket her father prepared for her, was on the edge of the vegetable field, picking red peppers and persimmons according to her mother's request.
It took two hours for the family of three to pick vegetables and fruits. 90%25 of the ripe fruits in the vegetable field were picked, and those left in the field were those that could hang for another two days.
If you pick all the ripe ones, you can pick out one or two more.
After picking the fruits and vegetables, Fang Nuo went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Because Shen Gongqi and the others were leaving after dark, their family had their dinner in advance.
Not long after dinner, it became dark outside.
Not long after, Wang Junyu drove an oxcart and pulled the fruits and vegetables picked by his family over.
The two of them put a few fresh fruits and vegetables from Shen's courtyard onto the oxcart and fixed them with ropes. They said goodbye to Fang Nuo and set off for the town.
When they arrived at the black market today, there were already many repeat customers from yesterday waiting at their stall from yesterday.
Both of them picked one basket to sell first, and then went back and forth to pick others to sell.
Even so, those who want to buy are willing to spend some time waiting there.
When the two of them came to the black market, their faces were smeared with dark liquid foundation given by Fang Nuo. The application made their skin several degrees darker. If they were not particularly familiar, others would not be able to recognize their appearance at all. Come.
It only took two and a half hours to sell everything.
They collected the baskets, picked them up and left the black market.
Wang Junyu was very happy to talk to Shen Gongqi about today's business, but Shen Gongqi grabbed his arm and motioned him not to speak.
Then he quickened his pace and the two of them shuttled through the west part of the alley.
After Shen Gongqi felt that the person following him was gone, he pulled Wang Junyu to a deserted place and whispered to him: "We may be being watched. Let's find a place later and show off our faces." Wash off the things on the clothes, then change clothes, and then go back to the cattle cart."
When Wang Junyu heard this, he was shocked. He hadn't noticed it just now. If Brother Gongqi hadn't stopped him from talking, the two of them might have been targeted in the future.
If you are a bit capable, you will even go to their home.
"Okay, I'm all following your arrangements, Brother Gongqi. I just thanked you," Wang Junyu said.
"You and I don't have to be so polite, we are all brothers," Shen Gongqi said.
"Well, brother, let's go and find some water to wash off the stuff on our faces.
Auntie has a lot of good things, otherwise if we hadn’t put this thing on our faces, we might have been targeted by people with good intentions," Wang Junyu said
The two found a well nearby, fetched water to wash their faces, then found a deserted alley, changed their clothes, and then carefully returned to the friend's house where they kept the cart to pick up the cart.
After getting the bullock cart, the two people quickly left the town. In a yard near the black market in the town, a man asked his younger brother: "Did you lose the person? Did you hear any news?"
"Brother, I'm sorry. I just wanted to get close to those two people when one of them spotted me, and then they took me around in the west of the alley.
I didn't notice them for a moment, so I lost sight of them. As for what they said, I didn't hear them at all." The younger brother lowered his head in fear and replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, something hit him head-on, followed by curses: "What a piece of trash, you can miss anyone if you target me. I raised you all in vain, it's useless at all."
Shen Gongqi and the others returned to the village safely before ten o'clock. The ox cart followed Wang Junyu home early. Shen Gongqi separated from Wang Junyu at the fork in front of the village committee door.
When she got home, Yaya was still awake.
The little girl hasn't heard her father read a storybook for several days, so she insisted on waiting until he came back today.
"I'm back. Come in quickly. Yaya is still waiting for you to read a storybook. She's not asleep yet." Fang Nuo opened the courtyard door and saw her husband. She pulled him into the courtyard and closed the door. said to him.
"I haven't slept yet. What happened today?" Shen Gongqi asked.
"It's not you. I haven't read a story to her yet. Isn't this little girl thinking about you?" Fang Nuo said.
"That's it, then I'm going to read a storybook to her." Shen Gongqi smiled and entered the back room. When Yaya saw her father, she felt aggrieved and her mouth dropped.
She looked like he was about to cry at any moment, but Shen Gongqi was frightened. He quickly took the little baby into his arms and coaxed: "Oh, Yaya, don't cry. It's all because of dad. He's been a little busy lately." Yaya has neglected us, daddy will make up for it in the future, don’t cry, don’t cry.”
Yaya is an easy child to coax. After hearing so many promises from her father, she immediately stopped crying and handed the storybook in her hand to Shen Gongqi and said, "Then I want daddy to read a short story."
"Okay, Dad will read it to you now." Shen Gongqi took the book, opened it and started reading.
Yaya still stayed up too late today. She was already sleepy and had to wait for her father to come back.
Now in Shen Gongqi's arms, the villain tilted his head and fell asleep leaning against Shen Gongqi just after listening to a few sentences of the story.
After waiting for a while, Fang Nuo saw that Yaya didn't wake up, so he said to him: "Okay, let's put her down to sleep."
"Okay," Shen Gongqi responded, put the book aside, then hugged Yaya and lay down on her bed.
"Daughter-in-law, you should lie down and rest quickly. I'll go wash up and come back. I'll give you some money tomorrow," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay, you go and wash up," Fang Nuo said
At noon the next day, after the family had lunch, Shen Gongqi led them into the house and poured out all the money he got from selling things on the black market from the cloth bag containing the money.
Looking at the small pile of money bills on the kang, Fang Nuo asked in surprise: "There are so many?"
"Well, these are what I earned on the black market during this period. Just give me fifteen yuan to dig a well. I'll hire someone to dig the well," Shen Gongqi said.
