Now that he had a job, Xiao Baoguo bought half a catty of pork when he passed by a meat stall on his way home.
When he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, he bought a bottle of good wine and planned to celebrate when he got home.
When he reached the entrance of the courtyard house, he saw Aunt Wang from the neighboring courtyard walking towards the courtyard house with a girl.
From the looks of it, he seemed to be planning to introduce someone to the people in the courtyard.
Thinking about it carefully, the only people in the courtyard who were not married and had reached the age of marriage were Silly Zhu and Yan Jiecheng.
Could the other party be Yu Li? Thinking of Yu Li's appearance in the original novel, although she could not compare to Widow Qin, she was still considered beautiful.
"Aunt Wang, who are you introducing a partner to?”
As Xiao Baoguo spoke, he looked behind Aunt Wang and saw that the girl had her head lowered. He couldn't tell what she looked like.
"Isn't this Silly Zhu? He's already in his twenties, but he doesn't have a wife yet.”
Hearing that he was looking for a wife for Shazhu, Xiao Baoguo stopped asking. However, he remembered that it was a working day today. Why was Shazhu at home at this time?
Xiao Baoguo went to buy some peanuts to go with the wine.
When he returned to the courtyard house, he saw Aunt Wang introducing the two parties.
Seeing He Yushui standing at the side, Xiao Baoguo thought for a moment and said,""Yu Shui, I've troubled you to wash my clothes, alright?”
"What? Oh, alright, alright."
Hearing his question, He Yushui hurriedly took out her clothes from the house.
Seeing that the other party had only handed him a shirt, Xiao Baoguo knew that the other clothes probably hadn't been washed yet. However, he couldn't care less at this moment and continued to speak.
"Thank you so much. I've been too busy these past two days and have taken up a lot of your time.”
"Hai, I have a lot of free time. My brother's clothes are washed by Widow Qin across the street. He doesn't need me, so I can learn to do housework.”
He Yushui's reaction was fast enough. She followed Xiao Baoguo's words.
However, there were only a few of them in the courtyard, and they were not very far away. These words naturally reached the ears of the girl.
Since Xiao Baoguo had his back facing Shazhu and the others, he didn't know what their expressions were like. However, seeing the smile on He Yushui's face, he knew that the girl's expression wasn't good.
Xiao Baoguo took the clothes and prepared to return to the backyard. When he passed by them, he even greeted them in a friendly manner.
Silly Zhu didn't think that there was anything wrong with his sister's words, and he was still talking to the girl enthusiastically.
Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the other party said that he had something to do and left. Aunt Wang also glared at Shazhu fiercely and followed the other party.
At this moment, Silly Zhu still didn't know what the problem was. He thought that the other party really had something to do and left.
The idiot was not really stupid. His EQ did not seem to be very low, but every time he encountered a partner, his brain would not work.
Xiao Baoguo felt that he had been taught silly by Yi Zhonghai. Of course, he could not rule out the fact that he was greedy for a widow's body.
Otherwise, why would he not stop Widow Qin from washing his clothes every time he went on blind dates?
Xiao Baoguo, who had successfully ruined a blind date for a fool, was even more happy.
When he returned to his room, he remembered that he hadn't drawn a card today, so he immediately gave the system an order.
[Congratulations, you have received a pack of high-quality cucumber seeds.]
Seeing that it was another seed, Xiao Baoguo didn't mind. He was in a good mood now, and he would be happy even if he got something useless.
He casually planted the seeds in the field and used up one mu of land.
It was almost winter. According to the time flow in the space, they could eat fresh tomatoes and cucumbers when winter arrived.
Moreover, supplies were even rarer in winter. If he sold these things, he would probably earn a lot.
……
The next day, Xiao Baoguo got up early and went to Shichahai again with a fishing rod and bucket.
Other than the fish that he had sold last time, Xiao Baoguo had eaten the rest.
This time, he planned to catch some more and put them in the space to raise them.
These days, Xiao Baoguo had been controlling the stream water in his space to irrigate the fields and feed the livestock. He found that the fields and livestock grew much faster after absorbing the stream water.
If he caught some fish and put them in the stream, the meat of the fish would definitely be very good.
When Xiao Baoguo came to the old place again, the surrounding uncles actually took the initiative to greet him.
It seemed that these old men had not forgotten about him fishing here last time.
He also poured out some bait, but the fishing action was still so amateurish.
However, the bait was good. The people around him watched him catch the fish one by one and cast envious gazes.
When the bait was used up, Xiao Baoguo looked at the old men around him and said,""I can't finish all this by myself. If you need it, you can take it yourself.”
Hearing Xiao Baoguo's words, these people became embarrassed. One of them, a white-haired old man, said,"That's not appropriate. Why don't we pay for it?”
"Please don't, sir. If I accept your money and someone tells me about it, I won't be able to explain it even if I have a mouth.”
In this era, speculators could go to jail. Moreover, the definition of speculators was very general now. The content was uncertain, the boundaries were vague, and the scale was uncertain.
In other words, as long as someone filed a complaint, once it was verified, they would be detained for a period of time.
The last time he sold fish, it was mainly because the other party was a big factory, and they had a receipt. The price was also based on the market price.
This was still acceptable. Facing so many people this time, Xiao Baoguo felt that it was better to be careful.
The surrounding old men also knew the seriousness of the matter. After thinking for a while, it was still the old man who spoke,
"How about this? We'll buy it at a lower price than the market price. If someone goes to sue, we can say that it's a gift from both sides. After all, these fish are much lower than the market price. It's only right for us to give some money to express our gratitude.”
Everyone nodded at his words and finally set the price at 30 cents a piece.
Even so, these old men still felt a little embarrassed and forced Xiao Baoguo to give them some food stamps and meat stamps.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Baoguo chose to give these people some fish was to make friends with them.
Many of these people were retired workers, but who knew if they had any other identities.
Perhaps he had some powerful relatives or something. In a few years, there would be a storm. Xiao Baoguo needed to make plans early.
Moreover, these old men had lived in Beiping for so many years and knew a lot of things. Perhaps Xiao Baoguo could use them in the future.
After everyone left, Xiao Baoguo saw that there were still many fish left in the bucket. He walked to an empty place and put the fish into the spatial stream.
Carrying the empty bucket, Xiao Baoguo was about to leave when he heard a shout from afar.
"Comrade Xiao, wait a moment!"
Xiao Baoguo turned around when he heard the voice calling him. He saw Old Yang, who had collected the fish last time, running over.
As soon as the other party came over, he looked at his bucket and saw that it was empty. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Comrade Yang, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just arrived. Seeing that you were leaving, I wanted to see if you had any fish. I wanted to buy one.”
"I'm so sorry. The fish have all been given to the surrounding men. Are you in a hurry?"
"Yeah, the factory is going to treat the leaders to a meal tomorrow, and they need a big fish.”
Xiao Baoguo heard that he was going to treat them to a meal tomorrow. No matter who the other party was, the person invited by a big factory like the Machinery Factory must have a high status. After thinking for a moment, he said,"How about this? Tell me your requirements, and I'll fish it for you tomorrow morning.”
Hearing Xiao Baoguo's words, Old Yang's eyes lit up and he quickly said,""That would be too much trouble for you. Don't worry, the price will still be based on the market price. This time, I need a big carp that weighs eight catties.”
Xiao Baoguo nodded to show that he understood. Then, he set a time with the other party to meet here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning.
After the two of them said goodbye, Xiao Baoguo turned around and walked towards the courtyard house.
Back at the courtyard house, Xiao Baoguo took out his key and was about to unlock the lock when he found that the lock was blocked by iron wire and wood shavings.
The only person in this courtyard who could do such a thing was that punk.
Fortunately, the lock was an old one at home, so it was not very unreliable. Xiao Baoguo opened it in no time.
Looking at the broken lock in his hand, Xiao Baoguo put the things away, turned around, and walked out.
"Please support us.""Votes."
