Chapter 142

Cao Cao Weiguo was not stingy and gave a procurement price far higher than the market.

5 cents for a salted egg, 3 Brother Yuan for a chicken.

This made Qin Qin Jingru's parents smile from ear to ear, and also made Qin Qin Jingru's eyes shine.

In the Qin Village area, Qin Qin Jingru's appearance is that of a top-notch beauty.

With her looks, matchmakers have almost trampled the threshold of her house.

However, ever since her cousin Qin Qin Huairu married into the city, she has been eating the enviable commodity grain.

Qin Qin Jingru, who has an outstanding appearance, began to yearn for life in the city, with her heart set on marrying into the city.

Becoming a city person like her cousin, eating commodity grain, and getting rid of the bitter life of facing the yellow earth and backing the sky.

Now meeting Cao Cao Weiguo, a city person with good conditions, Qin Qin Jingru's heart felt like grass was growing.

After selling the chickens and eggs, Mother Qin took out two sacks from the room.

One sack contained half a bag of dried wood ear, and one sack contained half a bag of sun-dried dates.

Cao Cao Weiguo didn't go to find a scale, but just weighed it with his hand:

"This wood ear is about 7 jin; I'll pay 2 Brother Yuan."

"The dates are about 12 jin; I'll pay 3 Brother Yuan."

"Is this price okay?"

Mother Qin clapped her hands happily: "Okay, too okay, thank you, Comrade Cao Weiguo."

Cao Cao Weiguo said the weight on the high side, and the price was almost half higher than the market.

How could Mother Qin not be happy? Looking at Cao Cao Weiguo was like looking at a god of wealth.

Cao Cao Weiguo paid readily, and this appearance of not lacking money made Qin Qin Jingru's eyes bloom with peach blossoms.

She felt that Cao Cao Weiguo was really good: young, handsome, good conditions, and generous.

This is the ideal object in her heart.

Declining the invitation to eat at the Qin house, Cao Cao Weiguo tied the things to his bicycle.

Qin Qin Jingru was reluctant to part: "Brother Cao, when will you come to the village again? I'll treat you to a meal then."

Cao Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle and laughed: "Next time I come, it might be in a month or two. When I arrive in the village, I will definitely come to find you for a meal. Goodbye, Comrade Qin Qin Jingru."

Waving his hand, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle away.

He knew Qin Qin Jingru's mind; as long as he made a move, it would be very easy to chase Qin Qin Jingru.

This Qin Qin Jingru is young and beautiful, with large eyes, delicate and moist skin, exquisite features, and a good figure—a proper beauty.

It's just that he has a beautiful wife at home, and a lover, Bai Sister Lijuan, outside.

Provoking the young and beautiful Qin Qin Jingru again is really a bit immoral.

Furthermore, Qin Qin Jingru is not the same as Bai Sister Lijuan; she might be entangled and cause trouble at home.

Ever since Su Mei came to visit, Song Song Yulan hasn't given him a good look for several days.

Cao Cao Weiguo knew his wife was jealous, but pretended not to know.

Every day he thought of ways to make his wife happy, and only then did he coax his wife well.

He didn't dare to provoke Qin Qin Jingru, fearing he would cause unrest at home.

Not to mention that Qin Qin Jingru also has a cousin like Qin Qin Huairu.

If he gets involved with Qin Qin Jingru, life will be lively in the future.

Sihe Academy

Early in the morning, when Cao Cao Weiguo was washing his face, a prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Weekly check-in successful!"

"Obtained 5 buffaloes!"

Washing his face calmly, Cao Cao Weiguo returned to the room in a happy mood.

"Wife, today let's go out to eat steamed buns, and then go shopping at Wangfujing."

After Cao Cao Weiguo finished speaking, he went to push the "Yongjiu" bicycle, and Song Song Yulan closed the door happily and followed.

The two walked out side by side and were bumped into by the First Mistress in the middle courtyard:

"Cao Weiguo, Song Yulan, going out so early?"

Cao Cao Weiguo laughed: "Morning, First Mistress, nothing to do today, going to Wangfujing for a stroll!"

The First Mistress said with a smile: "Going to Wangfujing, that's good."

"First Mistress, you go ahead and be busy."

Cao Cao Weiguo replied and continued to push the car out.

Qin Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes early in the morning, looked enviously at Song Song Yulan's rosy face.

Jia Jia Zhangshi leaned out of the window, looking at the Cao couple and cursing: "Black-hearted beasts, get hit by a car and die when you go out."

Jealousy makes people unrecognizable!

Once thinking that Cao Cao Weiguo's life was prosperous but he didn't help her family, Jia Jia Zhangshi was full of resentment.

She wished Cao Cao Weiguo would die an unnatural death, and then move everything in the Cao house away.

"Wife, get on the car."

After leaving the Sihe Academy, Cao Cao Weiguo patted the back seat of the bicycle.

"Mm!"

Song Song Yulan sat on the back seat, smiling as brightly as a flower.

Cao Cao Weiguo rode the car and carried Song Song Yulan out of the alley.

Arriving at an old restaurant with history.

In this era, the whole country implements a planned economy, and restaurants are also state-run.

Even if you are a rich person, if you don't have grain coupons, the restaurant won't entertain you.

If you want to eat at a restaurant, money alone is not enough; you must have tickets.

Grain coupons are issued in quotas. In this day and age, having enough to eat is a problem. Ordinary families eat meat once or twice a year, let alone eating at a restaurant.

Generally, eating at a restaurant is for "tooth-beating" (a treat) or entertaining guests.

Like Cao Cao Weiguo, who occasionally eats at a restaurant, it is a life that everyone in the Sihe Academy envies, and it is also a spendthrift behavior in people's hearts.

The two parked their bicycles, and after entering the restaurant, Cao Cao Weiguo handed the grain coupons to the waiter.

He ordered two steamers of small steamed buns, two bowls of wontons, a plate of side dishes...

With Cao Cao Weiguo's culinary skills, he could do it himself at home.

But eating at home doesn't have the atmosphere of eating at a restaurant.

The food was quickly served by the waiter, and Cao Cao Weiguo took out chopsticks and handed them to Song Song Yulan.

"Start eating!"

Song Song Yulan looked at the steaming small steamed buns and the large bowls of wontons, and couldn't help but feel a bit pained.

This breakfast would cost at least five or six days' worth of rations.

"These things can be done at home; how expensive it is to eat at a restaurant."

Cao Cao Weiguo looked at Song Song Yulan, who was feeling pained, and laughed:

"Doing it yourself is life; eating at a restaurant is enjoyment. Our family doesn't lack money; occasionally eating at a restaurant is nothing."

"Wife, eat quickly; after eating, let's go shopping."

Song Song Yulan helplessly picked up a small steamed bun; it tasted really good.

After finishing breakfast, Song Song Yulan was very satisfied.

After the two left the restaurant, Song Song Yulan rubbed her belly: "A bit full."

"Then let's walk for a while to digest."

"Mm."

Song Song Yulan responded, and the two walked the streets together.

Walking slowly, the two chatted, talking about family matters.

Seeing Shazhu, who was out cooking for others, happened to pass by and saw the Cao couple chatting and laughing, and felt waves of sourness in his heart.

Everyone is a cook; why does Cao Cao Weiguo get promoted, get rich, and marry a wife?

And he is living worse and worse, not to mention having no wife, but also being kicked out of the kitchen and sweeping the streets with a broom.
