Peach Pit Landlord
Chapter Two The Flower Girl
Li Yuan lives in an urban village on the outskirts of the city, with a small house and a yard of about the same size. Although it is a very remote place, the monthly rent is more than 800 yuan. For him, It is quite a burden to say the least.
In fact, if Li Yuan sold the bamboo carvings to that old man for more than two thousand at the market, he wouldn't have to worry about next month's rent at all. But he really couldn't bear to swindle other people's life-saving money away, so now he can only find another way to pay the rent.
But right now Li Yuan has other things to do. After putting away the peach pits, he rode all the way to a traditional Chinese medicine store called "Huirentang".
After just a few minutes, Li Yuan came out of the store. In his hand was an extra ginseng that was as thick as a little finger and not much longer than a cigarette.
This kind of ginseng is called forest ginseng, which is artificially planted in the woods, and the effect is better than the kind of ginseng grown in a greenhouse that looks similar to radish.
Of course, Li Yuan also paid a high price for this. Of the only three hundred-yuan bills left in his pocket, now only one is left.
For Li Yuan, who only has three or four hundred yuan in cash, spending two hundred yuan to buy a ginseng is not a small expense. But he didn't regret it, he just murmured dissatisfiedly: "The last time I bought it was still 150, but it has increased by 50 in just two weeks. The boss here is really getting more and more black-hearted!"
However, Li Yuan had nothing to do about it, he just glanced at Huirentang's signboard with dissatisfaction, and then stepped on his bicycle to drive home.
The summer evening was still very hot, and Li Yuan soon began to sweat profusely. Although he was not riding fast, he became panting. Li Yuan could only slow down his speed. Seeing many elderly people riding bicycles surpass him, he had a helpless wry smile all over his face.
Back then, Li Yuan's mother suffered a lot when she was pregnant, and gave birth to him after walking before the gate of hell. Therefore, Li Yuan, who was congenitally deficient, was weak and sick since he was a child, and he is still like this now. Just a little strenuous exercise and he'd be out of breath and dizzy. It is also because of this that Li Yuan, who was not highly educated, has not been able to find a stable job.
When Li Yuan returned to the village in the city where he lived at the speed of an old cow dragging a broken cart, the sky was almost completely dark. At this time, he was thirsty and tired, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.
"I hope Miss Hua is still here." Li Yuan prayed secretly in his heart, and then turned into the largest road in the village in the city - Guanqian Street.
It is said that there used to be a large Taoist temple here, hence the name of Guanqian Street. But later the Taoist priests disappeared, and even the Taoist temple was bulldozed and built a house. However, the name of Guanqian Street has been preserved, and now it has become the busiest "commercial street" in the village in the city.
Especially on summer nights, there are many food stalls on Guanqian Street. Among the numerous local snacks, fancy grilled skewers and various snacks, "Hua Dagu Braised Vegetables" is definitely one of the most distinctive stalls. The "flower girl" in Li Yuan's mouth is the owner of Aunt Hua's Braised Vegetables. Her surname was originally Hua, and she was unmarried, so everyone she knew called her Hua girl.
If you want to talk about the characteristics of Huadagu Braised Vegetables, it is plentiful, clean and cheap, and it is well-known on Guanqian Street. The owner, Aunt Hua, is also a celebrity in Guanqian Street, and she is famous because of her huge figure.
Aunt Hua is half a head shorter than Li Yuan, but at least twice his weight. The width and thickness of the whole person are almost the same, and the whole body is covered with waves when walking.
But anyone who is familiar with Aunt Hua knows that although she is a bit fat, she is definitely a good person. Not to mention the others, but Li Yuan has received a lot of care from her. Sometimes Li Yuan was inconvenient, Aunt Hua always let him pay on credit without hesitation, and never asked him for it.
What comforted Li Yuan was that as soon as he turned into Guanqian Street, he saw that Aunt Hua's stewed vegetables stall was still there, and hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Girl Hua,
Cut me a pig's ear, and a can of beer, cold! "
"Okay!" Aunt Hua also agreed loudly, then picked out the biggest pig's ear, and cut it off neatly.
However, Aunt Hua was not in a good mood today. Although she was still working very neatly, she still couldn't help but let out a faint sigh in the middle of the cut.
Li Yuan immediately noticed Aunt Hua's abnormality, and asked with a smile, "Miss Hua, what's wrong with you, why are you sighing?"
"Today I went on a blind date." Aunt Hua didn't hide anything, she frowned and said, "The other party answered me on the spot, and they dislike me for being too fat!"
"What do you mean being too fat?! You are called Zhuyuan Yurun!" Li Yuan immediately filled his face with righteous indignation, and said loudly to Aunt Hua: "You are called Fuxiang, Wangfu is good, you don't need this kind of blind man, You will regret it in the future!"
Li Yuan's words brightened the eyes of Aunt Hua, who was not in a good mood, and asked involuntarily, "Really?"
"Then can there be a fake?" Li Yuan said seriously: "Aunt Hua, you are hardworking, capable, and kind-hearted, and you also look like that...a well-rounded husband. It's just meeting the right person! Don't make yourself sad because of some blind people, it's not worth it!"
What Li Yuan said made Aunt Hua smile. Not only did she cut up half a catty of extra pork head, but she also gave him two cans of beer. In the end, Auntie Hua also confiscated Li Yuan's money, but slapped him hard on the back with a strong fat hand, and "drived" Li Yuan away from the stewed vegetables stall, which had been half-pushed.
The smiling Li Yuan returned to his residence with beer and stewed vegetables. Before he could open the door, he saw a slender girl standing outside his house.
This girl's name is Zhao Qian, who lives next door to Li Yuan, and is only four years younger than him. The two of them can be said to have grown up together since they were young, and they can definitely be called childhood sweethearts.
Zhao Qian was pretty and lovely, her big gentle eyes curved into crescent moons when she smiled, and she always had a faint smile on her pretty face when facing Li Yuan. However, compared with girls of the same age, Zhao Qian seemed a little too delicate. Moreover, her skin was also a little abnormally white, almost transparent, and even the subcutaneous blood vessels were faintly visible.
But in Li Yuan's eyes, Zhao Qian hardly has any shortcomings. Seeing her, Li Yuan immediately showed a warm smile. Only he knew in his heart that his smile was the most genuine at this moment.
Li Yuan quickly walked a few steps, came to the girl and asked with a smile, "Zhao Qian, why are you here?"
"I see that you haven't come back yet. I know you must not have time to cook, so I brought you something to eat." Zhao Qian paused at this point, and said to her with a smile on her gentle and pretty face. Li Yuan said: "But seeing that you have gained a lot, you must be making Aunt Hua happy again today, right?"
"Girl Hua's blind date failed again, so I'll encourage her to help her rebuild her confidence!" Li Yuan smiled proudly at Zhao Qian: "As for these stewed vegetables and beer, they are just details, don't worry about it at all!"
