Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Mi didn't know whether Old Man would scream after eating these roasted sweet potatoes, but Song Qiushui, as a young lady, truly couldn't walk anymore.

Song Qiushui looked at Song Qingshan pitifully: "Father, I never ask anyone for anything in this lifetime... I was just thinking, if our family has money in the future, gets rich, and can buy two roasted sweet potatoes to eat, then my life would be perfect..."

Song Qingshan: Look at my daughter, she's so strong-willed!

Buy buy buy!!!

"Daughter, just eat to your heart's content, it's only a few roasted sweet potatoes..."

Afterwards Song Qiushui walked to the roasted sweet potato stall and said: "Boss, how much is your stall..."

Song Qingshan: "Uh..."

Chai Mi also frowned tightly: "Hiss..."

Liu Zhijing also looked at Song Qiushui with concern, thinking to himself that with her small frame, how many roasted sweet potatoes could she eat? And buy someone's stall?

The woman selling roasted sweet potatoes saw that Song Qiushui wasn't very bright, like a local simpleton, and said: "Silly girl, what stall do you want? If you buy the stall, what would I sell? Just buy two more roasted sweet potatoes, two yuan per catty..."

"Two yuan per catty, is it that expensive?" Song Qiushui was stunned: "The sweet potatoes our family grows are only four cents per catty, what's wrong? Once they get to you they become golden sweet potatoes, silver sweet potatoes. Come come come, I'll give you a chance, you chop a knife yourself, what's your fixed price?"

"Daughter, look at what you're saying, these are roasted, they have to use charcoal..."

"One yuan..."

"One yuan two..."

"Fine, give me three."

Chai Mi rolled her eyes at Song Qiushui and muttered in a low voice: "Four people, four would be better."

Song Qiushui then said: "Then make it four, ones with bigger fire."

The boss lady took the sweet potatoes and weighed them, Song Qiushui was surprised again, but still spread her hands obediently...

Chai Mi then paid the money.

After all, Song Qiushui never paid when buying things.

Several people held roasted sweet potatoes, eating while walking.

The market wasn't too big; Liu Zhijing said before setting out to have him take Chai Mi and the others to Liu Zhangshun's store to buy.

Not far from where they got off was Liu Zhangshun's store.

Several people soon arrived at "Changshun Cooked Food and Vegetable Store".

Liu Zhangshun was at the store door, plucking a big rooster, killing the chicken.

Liu Zhangshun was younger than Liu Zhanggui, in his forties, with a long melon-shaped face, tall stature, black short sleeves, black leather pants, and big waterproof shoes.

Because of the nature of his work, almost all the cooked food in Liu Zhangshun's store had to be made by himself; the roosters and ducks he bought from the countryside, he killed himself after bringing them back. The pigs were also killed by himself, though after being killed at home they were hauled to the store to sell. So his leather pants didn't surprise Chai Mi and the others.

"Zhangshun, busy huh." Song Qingshan greeted with a laugh.

Liu Zhangshun naturally knew Song Qingshan; Song Qingshan had been an accountant for a lifetime, and people in the village who were a bit older all knew him.

Liu Zhangshun quickly put down the half-killed chicken, letting the big rooster drag its bleeding chicken head, whoosh, fly several meters away.

Song Qiushui was so scared she fell backward; fortunately Chai Mi caught her.

"Damn! Blood..." Song Qiushui touched the blood dripping onto her forehead from the flying rooster, looked at it, and the next second fainted directly.

Song Qiushui's problem of fainting at the sight of blood had existed for a long time. But only when she saw it did she faint; if she didn't see it, she didn't faint...

For example, when it was dark, Song Qiushui couldn't see and just treated it as water.

This time this blood, Song Qiushui saw it clearly, and fainted all at once.

Chai Mi quickly supported Song Qiushui, then called out to Liu Zhijing: "Da Zhi, help support Qiu Shui."

Liu Zhijing then came to his senses, and the two first helped Song Qiushui to a shady place.

"Should we send her to the hospital?" Liu Zhijing asked with concern.

"It should be fine..." Chai Mi actually couldn't make up her mind either; she felt Song Qiushui was just scared and fainted.

And in her previous life, Chai Mi had never heard that Song Qiushui had any heart problems.

She estimated it was just a fright just now, not too serious.

"Why not let Qiu Shui sit for a while, that would be fine. Standing doesn't seem right; she doesn't have heart disease. If she faints at the sight of blood, sitting for a few minutes to recover would be fine." Chai Mi then instructed Liu Zhijing: "Da Zhi, you go help get a towel soaked in hot water... go get it from Zhangshun's store; his daughter-in-law should be in the store."

"Mm." Liu Zhijing went directly.

After a while he brought a towel over.

Soaked in hot water, still a bit hot to the touch.

Chai Mi carefully wiped clean the two drops of fresh blood on Song Qiushui's head first.

Then she rubbed Song Qiushui's forehead with her hand: "Sigh, Qiu Shui, what can I say about you, how did you end up like this. You're already this old, and still faint at the sight of blood."

After two or three minutes, Song Qiushui woke up.

Song Qiushui looked at Chai Mi listlessly, took a big breath, then said: "Ah... my dear mother... almost went to see my great-grandmother early."

Song Qingshan also came over now; seeing his precious daughter Song Qiushui was fine, he felt relieved.

"Oh, you girl, it must be your great-grandmother's grave has bad feng shui, that's why you fainted today; we'll move your great-grandmother's grave tomorrow..."

Chai Mi was a bit numb, even immune to the husband and wife Song Qingshan and his wife.

What did it mean that Song Qiushui's great-grandmother had bad feng shui? The great-grandmother had lived underground for decades or a hundred years, always living peacefully, and this Song Qingshan wanted to move her house right away?

(Great-grandmother: Chai Mi is right... who the hell did I offend? Why move my grave...)

"Right. I remembered, I said two years ago, your great-grandmother's grave, it doesn't look good, that must be bad feng shui. We'll move your great-grandmother away in a few days..." Song Qingshan continued to comfort Song Qiushui, afraid Song Qiushui would be unhappy.

"What about my great-uncle? My great-uncle is over a hundred and forty years old, and you moved my great-grandmother away? The old man won't come back to look for you at midnight... People have been married for over a hundred years, and you're still making them divorce. Father, I'm not saying this about you, but you're being unreasonable." Song Qiushui directly explained the logic to Song Qingshan: "I said I almost saw my great-grandmother, but I really didn't see her. This matter, if anyone is to blame, blame that chicken. I swear, I will dismember that chicken by five horses, crush its bones and scatter its ashes..."

"It's better to eat it. We eat its meat, drink its blood, then feed the chicken bones to your family's few dogs, so that the chicken's entire life leaves not even a bone fragment behind." Chai Mi comforted her helplessly.

"Right. Let's do it..." Song Qiushui slapped her thigh, then got up.

On the other side, Liu Changshun felt a wave of guilt: Scary, damn it, I just killed a chicken, and I almost caused a human death...

"Qiu Shui, sorry about that. In a moment, I'll load that chicken for you, don't say anything else. I'll also give you ten catties of donkey meat... They just slaughtered a young male donkey this morning, extremely tender and fresh."

(A note is necessary: male donkey refers to a male donkey; why is it called male donkey? Because male donkeys keep braying when in heat, hence the name. Tender and fresh means extremely fresh.)

"Alright." Song Qiushui was happy in her heart, but still wanted more on her lips: "I see that bucket outside of yours, does it hold mantis shrimp?"

Liu Changshun looked in the direction Song Qiushui pointed, then nodded: "That red bucket? It's mantis shrimp..."

After speaking, Liu Changshun suddenly realized: "Oh, that mantis shrimp isn't worth money, it was caught by our child in the big river last night. When we leave in a moment, I'll load some for you."

Song Qiushui laughed hehehe.

Chai Mi helped Song Qiushui up.

Sometimes Chai Mi had to admire Song Qiushui; in the field of scamming food and drink, this girl was invincible.

At least, among the people Chai Mi knew, Song Qiushui was naturally gifted in this regard. And Song Qiushui was beautiful; what was most infuriating was that this girl didn't get fat no matter how much she ate...

Chai Mi watched Song Qiushui laugh, feeling she was especially happy. Carefree all day, good family conditions, parents doted on her immensely, whatever she did, her luck was good.

Simply a mascot...

Or maybe Song Qiushui was a child of destiny, with incredible luck.

A small interlude didn't waste much time.

Afterwards, the few people started buying vegetables, carrying vegetables.

Cooked food, vegetables, alcohol, and drinks were all prepared.

Cooked food was basically taken from Liu Changshun's place, and they also took a lot of pork.

However, the vegetables at Liu Changshun's place weren't very good; the few people bought two kinds, most bought from outsiders.

Alcohol and drinks were basically taken from Liu Changshun's place, then they deliberately went to a place that specifically sold seasonings and bought some Sichuan pepper, star anise, etc.

"Chai Mi, we bought all this. I feel the cold platter can serve about ten or so tables; if there's leftovers, we can add more. The cooked food is enough. Look, is there anything else we forgot to buy? We also bought salt, Sichuan pepper, star anise, soy sauce, etc." Song Qingshan compared the list; basically it was all there.

"Nothing much, basically enough. Let's head back home."

"Wait. I haven't gotten the mantis shrimp yet..." Song Qiushui ran back swish swish swish, and brought the mantis shrimp back with Liu Changshun. "Chai Mi, when we get home, make me mantis shrimp tofu tonight. I heard this thing is very nourishing..."

Song Qingshan hurriedly coughed twice: "Cough cough..."

You're a girl, what are you nourishing...

"No, Father, why are you coughing? This thing really nourishes, eating it can invigorate yang." Song Qiushui said without any taboo.

Song Qingshan's face turned green with embarrassment: My little ancestor, Liu Zhijing is here, he's a man, you shouldn't say things like that...

Besides, do I look like someone who needs nourishing?

Who the hell was talking bad about me behind my back? If I catch them, I won't let them off!!!

Liu Zhijing also turned away embarrassedly: Can't listen to this, Song Qiushui has no filter at all.

Chai Mi tugged Song Qiushui: "Don't talk nonsense. Your father is sixty, what can nourishing do?!"

Song Qingshan, who had already turned away, gritted his teeth in anger, his mouth twisted: Ahhhhh... I can bear it, but who can't?!

So what if sixty?

Sixty should just die!

I'm sixty, and I've never eaten from your family's bowl... Although my daughter often goes to Chai Mi's house to scrounge food... Hmm, so... so...

Song Qingshan decided to endure it!

Liu Zhijing immediately pricked up his ears: Chai Mi knows a lot, much better than Song Qiushui. And look how pleasant Chai Mi speaks... She even knows to say it behind people's backs.

If Song Qiushui could open a god's-eye view, she would find that Chai Mi indeed said it behind people's backs.

After all, just now after Song Qiushui finished speaking, Liu Zhijing and Song Qingshan both turned away...

So, Chai Mi indeed said it behind people's backs.

That's not very double-standard.

"Withdraw." Chai Mi gave an order: "Stop flapping your gums, it's almost noon, everyone is waiting at home to eat."

Afterwards, the group drove the tractor back to the village.

On the road, Chai Mi took advantage of Song Qingshan not paying attention to secretly tell Song Qiushui: "From now on, don't say things like nourishing, if others hear it, they'll say you're a female hooligan."

Song Qiushui said she didn't care: "Hooligan crime is only for males, not females. Besides... by the way, what did you mean just now about my father nourishing being useless..."

"Don't go asking around..."

"Is it related to being sixty?"

"Change the topic..."

"It's over, that chicken, I forgot to take it."

Forgetting to take that big rooster that made Song Qiushui faint made Song Qiushui very dissatisfied.

Until they got home, Song Qiushui was still complaining.

First complaining about heaven, then about earth. Then she started complaining about Song Qingshan...

Song Qingshan had also forgotten this matter, so he could only lower his head and stay silent.

Song Qiushui then started complaining about Liu Zhijing: "Da Zhi, what do you do for a living? The few of us went, you're the oldest..."

Liu Zhijing looked dazed: "Isn't there your family's my great-uncle?"

"Don't treat my father as a person." Song Qiushui said dissatisfied: "Look at you, you're in your twenties. You only know to buy things according to the list, you forgot the big rooster on the list, you're truly a useless person."

Liu Zhijing was also dazed: "Uh..."

"Nothing at all……"

"No, how about I drive back and get you another one?"

"Go ahead, what are you thinking? I have an irreconcilable grudge with that chicken!!!" Song Qiushui gritted her teeth and said.

As a result, Liu Zhijing really went.

Chai Mi saw Liu Zhijing really go, shook her head: Done for. Da Zhi this silly boy really doesn't understand Song Qiushui…… Song Qiushui loves playing this trick the most. Whoever listens to Song Qiushui's nonsense won't even find the direction of the grave gate when they die.

Song Qiushui saw Liu Zhijing walk far away, immediately changed her appearance, laughing: "Hehehehe."

"Laughing at what." Chai Mi was all too familiar with Song Qiushui's tricks: "You can only fool Da Zhi that Er Shazi. Did you just hide that chicken?"

Song Qiushui saw she couldn't hide it from Chai Mi, so she honestly said: "I hid it inside the liquor box."

That chicken had long been killed, plucked and gutted, so it wasn't very big either, and no one saw it hidden inside the liquor box.

Actually, it wasn't that Song Qiushui had intended to cheat from the start.

She forgot at first, then remembered later.

But……

Song Qiushui pondered, the rooster had no mark. They were all roosters, Liu Changshun might not kill a certain number in a day.

As long as a few people's accounts matched, Liu Changshun was sure to have to compensate a rooster.
