In the black market.
Jiang Fan was wearing a big cotton hat and a black scarf to cover his face, revealing only his two big eyes. He was secretly strolling around the live bird market. After a while, he stopped in front of a stall with chickens and ducks in cages. He slowly squatted down and looked at them carefully.
There were three cages in front of him. The largest cage contained three roosters and three hens. The medium cage contained a group of chicks, and the smallest cage contained a few ducklings.
The boss was an uncle around 45 years old. He did not show any enthusiasm for Jiang Fan's arrival and only sized him up.
Yang Fan didn't mind and asked directly,""Boss, how much are these chickens and ducks?”
"The rooster is 60 cents, the hen is 3 dollars, and the small one is 30 cents each. How much do you want to buy?”The stall owner replied expressionlessly.
Jiang Fan said in shock,"Why is this so much more expensive than the others? Are you trying to extort me? Give me a cheaper price."”
"Young man, you get what you pay for. These are all high-quality poultry that I feed well.”the uncle explained.
"How about this, I won't return you the price for the hen. I'll sell it for three yuan, the rooster for fifty cents, and the chicks and ducklings for twenty cents each.”Yang Fan said as he took out the money from his pocket.
The boss listened to Jiang Fan's words and calculated. When he saw Yang Fan take out a wad of money from his pocket, he immediately replied excitedly,"Alright, alright, I'll read your fortune."
There were a total of ten chicks, five ducklings, three roosters, and three hens. He spent a total of 13.50 yuan. This cost a lot of money! However, the boss also gave Jiang Fan a big bag of rice bran and a cage for the chickens and ducks. However, he only wanted the biggest one and packed all the chickens and ducks together.
Jiang Fan carried the cage and walked to a place where there was no one around. He hurriedly entered the virtual space and raised the chickens and ducks he had bought. Otherwise, he would die of exhaustion carrying them home. They were so heavy.
If the people from the courtyard house saw him, they would ask him questions. He did not want to have anything to do with those people from the courtyard house.
After settling the chickens and ducks and coming out of the space, Yang Fan walked in the direction of the courtyard house. He had to find a time to exchange for a bicycle. It would be much more convenient to have a means of transportation.
After returning home, Jiang Fan went to the villa in the virtual space and took a shower. He even soaked in the hot spring for two hours. Fortunately, the space was aware of the situation in the outside world. Otherwise, the two hours would not have been so peaceful.
Before soaking in the hot spring, Jiang Fan had already thrown his clothes into the washing machine in the bathroom. Therefore, when he came out of the space, he carried the washed clothes in his hand and walked out of the room to hang them.
Silly Zhu walked briskly with an aluminum lunch box in his hand. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Jiang Fan drying clothes and said,"Yo, isn't this Xiao Fan? It's been so many days since I came back. This is the first time I've seen you. You're getting more and more handsome. You're so handsome that you're almost catching up to me.”
"Hehe, Silly Zhu, long time no see. Did you just get off work?”
"No, someone else invited me to cook a few dishes, so I was a little late. When we have time, let's get some peanuts and drink together!”
"My alcohol tolerance is too poor. I'm afraid you won't be able to drink to your heart's content.”Jiang Fan didn't want to have too much contact with Silly Zhu, so he spoke in a tactful manner.
"Aiya, it's fine. Just a little drink will do.”Silly Zhu didn't give up this opportunity to drink.
"Alright, it's a little cold outside. I'll go back and sleep first.”
After Jiang Fan finished speaking, he used his hands to gather the coat he was wearing outside and turned around to return to the house.
Jiang Fan lay on the bed, thinking about how to plan his small world, and gradually fell asleep.
The next day.
Jiang Fan got up early and went out to take the bus to the place where the seeds were sold. Because it was September now, there were not many people selling seeds, and there were not many varieties.
After going around in circles, he only bought corn, wheat, vegetables, sweet potatoes, and potato seeds. Next time, he would go to the black market to see if there were fruit tree seedlings and other seeds. Jiang Fan thought to himself.
When he passed by the market, he went in again and bought some vegetables, pork, and fish. He planned to make braised whole fish for lunch.
Jiang Fan rested for a few days and soon planted vegetables and trees in the system space. They would all be watered with spiritual spring water so that they could grow faster. After they were ripe, they would be placed in the basement. If there were a little more, they could be sold at a good price on the black market.
On the weekend, Director Wang from the factory brought a few people to the courtyard house. Soon, the people in the front yard and the back yard rushed over after hearing about it. The middle yard immediately became lively.
When he walked into Jiang Fan's house, Director Wang held his hand and said,"Xiaofan, we're very sorry that we couldn't save your father. Your father has been working hard in the factory for more than 30 years. I didn't expect such an accident to happen. We are also very sad. We have let you down!”After these words, Jiang Fan thought of his father, whom he had never seen for the last time, and his eyes became moist.
"You're the only one left at home now. In the future, if you have any difficulties, just tell everyone. Everyone will help you. These were the compensation money and some food and meat coupons from the factory.”The people who came with Director Wang quickly handed these things to Jiang Fan.
"And these pork, chicken, and duck, keep them well. You can report to work at the factory at any time.”As soon as Chief Wang finished speaking, another person placed a large piece of pork on the table and placed the chicken and duck beside the table.
Jiang Fan wiped away his tears, sorted out his emotions, and said to Chief Wang,"Thank you, Director Wang. After I'm done with the things at hand and tidied up, I'll come to the factory to report to you. I'll have to trouble you to make a trip.”
After Chief Wang expressed his condolences to Jiang Fan, he left with the people from the factory.
Outside the door, Jia Zhangshi looked at the pork on Jiang Fan's table. It was about 30 catties. She was envious and very tempted. He then turned to the chickens and ducks on the ground. His eyes were shining. He had not eaten meat for a long time. He really did not know when he would be able to eat it.
Jia Zhang-shi turned around and walked back home. As soon as she got home, she began to curse, saying that Jiang Fan was eating alone. They had been neighbors for so many years, yet he didn't know how to help his family. Even if it was just some meat, it would be fine. He didn't ask him to give money!
Now that the stick meme and Little Dang are so young, and the child's mother has an unborn child in her stomach, why doesn't anyone pity us? If the child's grandfather hadn't passed away early, his life wouldn't have been like this. Why is my life so bitter?
As soon as they stepped into the house, they heard Grandma mumbling.
She couldn't hear what he was saying and kept wiping her tears.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" The stick meme couldn't help but ask.
Jia Zhangshi quickly wiped her tears and said,"Grandma is fine. It's just that I came back with sand in my eyes.”
The stick meme and Little Dang looked at Jia Zhangshi in confusion.
"Let's go. Grandma will cook for you.”After Jia Zhang-shi finished speaking, she pulled the two children outside and prepared dinner for tonight.
