Chapter 281 The Power of the Masses
Chen Sili was the happiest today. Although she was frightened, she felt that everything was worth it because she received Zheng Chengbao's love.
"Xinyue, you can keep this floral cloth to make clothes!"
Because she was happy, Chen Sili decided to give the floral cloth to Xinyue. She was the matchmaker between herself and Chengbao, and she saved herself again today.
"It's too flowery. I don't like it. You can keep it to make clothes yourself, Third Sister-in-law!"
Without the Third Brother, Zheng Xinyue smiled and called Chen Sili Third Sister-in-law. Seeing her face quickly turn red and full of shyness, Zheng Xinyue thought it was too fun.
With such a good Third Brother and such a good Third Sister-in-law, she, as a younger sister, had to help them buy things for their wedding.
Now that she has money, she can't control the urge to spend money. She hasn't spent happily for a long time.
Zheng Chengbao was a little confused when he heard that his sister had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative where his uncle worked. He scratched his head and asked his younger sister: "The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have as many things as the department store, and it's not as good as this. What are you going there for?"
"It's too hot to queue up, so I'll go to my uncle to solve it."
There was no wind at all in the dog days of summer, and it was so hot that people couldn't breathe. Zheng Xinyue used her little hands to fan her face and explained to her third brother that she had eaten too much at noon and really wanted to run with the donkey cart for a while.
"But that's true. The queue is too annoying, and there are thieves."
Zheng Chengbao thought it made sense when he heard it. He raised the whip and shouted at the donkey to turn around. When he mentioned the thief, he suddenly looked at his sister in confusion:
"Xinyue, how did you find out that the man was a thief?"
"You can tell he's not a good person with his thief's eyes."
Zheng Xinyue explained simply, afraid that her third brother would ask her how she caught the thief? But the more she feared something, the more it came, and Zheng Chengbao really asked.
"Little sister, how did you catch the thief?"
"I just tripped him, and the rest was the power of the masses."
Zheng Xinyue's eyes turned and she immediately answered with a sweet smile. Her third brother and sister Sili were pushing into the crowd at the time, so they must not have seen her movements, so she had no burden to lie.
"Don't do that in the future. It's so dangerous. Losing money is a small matter. Those are all desperate people."
Zheng Chengbao taught his sister a lesson with lingering fear. If Xinyue really made a mistake, her parents would beat her to death when she returned home, and he would not have the face to live.
"Got it."
Zheng Xinyue agreed with a smile, secretly sticking out her tongue, and she got away with it.
There are four supply and marketing cooperatives in the city, one in each of the southeast, northwest, and northeast. The supply and marketing cooperative where my uncle Gao Yunshan works is in the south of the city, and Zheng Xinyue's home is in the ravine outside the north of the city.
Usually, it's too far to go, but today we went directly from the city, and it only took more than ten minutes to take a donkey cart to the supply and marketing cooperative in the south of the city where Gao Yunshan works.
"Xinyue, Sili, you two wait here for a while, I'll go find my uncle."
Zheng Chengbao tied the donkey cart to a big tree, fearing that Xinyue and Sili would be too hot running back and forth under the scorching sun, so he asked them to wait for him in the shade under the tree. It must be said that our Zheng Laosan also has a tender side, but that depends on who he is with.
"Sister Sili, you watch the cart, I'm going to the toilet."
Zheng Xinyue saw that Sister Sili was sweating all over and her clothes were sticking to her body. She looked around and saw that there were not many people around, so she felt a little more active and found an excuse to go to the toilet.
"Okay."
Chen Sili nodded and agreed without any doubt. Zheng Chengbao was not here at the moment, so she pulled her shirt outside to prevent the clothes from sticking to her body to cool down a little.
After making arrangements, Zheng Xinyue walked towards the alley next to the supply and marketing cooperative. It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon when the sun was scorching. You could see the steam rising from the ground when you looked down. At this time, no one would come out unless they were at work or had something urgent to do and hid at home for a nap.
But most people don't come out, but some people lurk in the dark and spy.
