Chapter 119: Chapter 60 Shopping_1

(Seeking recommendations)

Because of the Black Hag incident, Xu Xiaoyan proposed a new request to Yan Fei: read more books!

Yan Fei admittedly felt unlucky. It served him right this time. Who else but him would know only about the Black Hag’s gangster inn at Cross Slope and completely ignore the story behind it?

So when Yan Fei’s parents returned, they felt both like scolding him and relieved. Xu Xiaoyan was scurrying around the hut selling alcohol, while Yan Fei lay on a rattan chair like an old man, reading a book!

Yan Fei’s parents didn’t have much time. They just came to check on things, as they still needed to go to the countryside to help with the wheat harvest. Even those who couldn’t help much would bring some gifts to visit. To the countryside, the wheat harvest is a very critical period, and most people who have relatives growing wheat in the countryside will visit. Even if they can’t help, they have to show their faces, otherwise they’ll be criticized.

This year, Yan Fei doesn’t need to go. His grandfather’s village is on the west side. Everyone from the village coming to the market had to pass the entrance of Yan Fei’s cattle farm. They all knew about his cattle farming, so no one said anything if he didn’t come back.

When Yan Fei’s parents left, a county bus stopped at the entrance of the cattle farm not long after, and then delivered a whole load of plastic pots to Yan Fei. These were purchased in the county by Yan Fei’s father, who found his son’s stuff too makeshift and had them transported back by bus.

The plastic pots of this era are thick and heavy. Buying this kind of thing can be treated as a family heirloom, it can be used continuously and carefully could last for decades without damage. Even if it gets damaged, it can be repaired and continue to be used. It’s not like the stuff made later, where the pots become thin to the point of transparency.

You can still find such things in the countryside. For example, a big plastic basin used for both washing clothes and bathing children at home. When the child grows up and becomes a father, the basin can still be used to bathe his son. Even if the son doesn’t mind it being ugly in the future, it can still be used for his grandson.

Of course, the price is relatively high and not many are willing to spend extra money to buy a pot just for alcohol. However, after all, it’s better than nothing. If some don’t have this thing at home, it won’t be a waste to buy it back.

When the peak of the harvest comes and those who should buy alcohol have all bought it, the business gradually becomes less booming.

The day Xu Xiaoyan started school, she pulled Yan Fei early in the morning to go to the county town with her. Normally school starts with evening self-study, and it’s not too late to take the bus in the afternoon. Xu Xiaoyan came so early because she wanted to let Yan Fei buy more books to read.

So, the unscrupulous liquor-selling boss, Yan Fei, droopingly followed this girl onto the bus to the county, to buy books.

As for selling alcohol, Yan Fei delegated it to Lin Yumei and her daughter. Just sell according to the price and make sure to collect the money first. Anyone can do it.

Lin Yumei’s daughter, Fang Xiaoqing, doesn’t like to come to the cattle farm. On holidays, when she returned to her uncle’s house for a couple of days, she presumably felt offended and came back before the holiday ended. She felt embarrassed to always eat and live here for free, so she did help with some work.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyan was present. The good student from First High School in the county, was an icon to Fang Xiaoqing. With Xu idol here, the young girl wasn’t so awkward.

Actually, Yan Fei wanted to go to the city to buy books. The books there are cheaper. However, time didn’t allow it, and Xu Xiaoyan felt that the fare to the city was too expensive to be worth it.

This was the first time the young couple who ran the gangster inn went shopping together. Being with Xu Xiaoyan, Yan Fei was nagged to the point where he was out of patience. Despite him usually ruling the islands, killing dinosaurs as if they were chickens, and scaring the factories to almost stop their operations, who was Miss Xu Xiaoyan? Just a stomp of her foot and a ’we’re going, we’re going’ from her, and Yan Fei had to earnestly follow her no matter where they went.

Having someone shop with her, the girl was delighted like anything else. When they arrived at Hua Clothing Market, she couldn’t move anymore. She went from one shop to another, wanting to go in and check whenever she saw a women’s clothing shop. She walked around so much that she was sweating profusely but still didn’t feel tired.

Actually, this girl truly didn’t have many nice clothes. Plus, since Yan Fei had been providing her with good food and drinks without interruptions since last year, she had gained a bit of weight in some places she should have. Now, her clothes weren’t fitting well. The weather had gotten hot, and she was wearing thin clothes. Her pants were almost like three-quarter pants now. The top would show some flesh occasionally when she bent down too much. Not to mention her sandals were still patched up, even though the patched place wasn’t visible.

Exposing flesh through clothes wasn’t fashionable in this era. Three-quarter pants weren’t considered trendy, and ripped jeans were not considered sexy. Other than street beggars and vagabonds, no one dressed like that. If you insisted on dressing like that, it wouldn’t be because you were fashionable, but poor, poor, poor!

If someone dared to wear the clothes full of big holes exposing their waist, and jeans with ragged holes on the streets now, people would generally call it vulgar. But if you squatted by the side of the road, there wouldn’t be any problem. If you set a bowl in front of you, people wouldn’t just not criticize you, they might also throw one or two cents at you. The kind-hearted ones might even buy you a bun.

If you happened to put on some smoky makeup, the kind-hearted woman who gives you a bun, would definitely say with sympathy and tears, "Girl, eat a bun! You’re so skinny, go wash your face after eating, look how dirty you are!"

It wasn’t much noticeable usually but once inside the clothing market, comparing with the dressing of other girls shopping around and then looking at Xu Xiaoyan’s clothes, even the naive Yan Fei couldn’t stand it.

Seeing this girl holding a dress and trying it on in front of the mirror, Yan Fei said, "Let’s buy it!"

The girl quickly put down the dress and pulled him to go on, "You can’t wear a dress normally. It’s too clumsy when running."

Yan Fei was puzzled, "Didn’t you always wear that one dress last year during vacation, and washed it every night to wear again the next day?"

"Ah, how can you be like this? I’ve already said I can’t wear it now. How can vacation and school days be the same?" The girl was caught and stomped her feet.

After visiting a few more stores, even the clueless Yan Fei realized that the girl simply didn’t want to buy anything. As soon as he mentioned buying, she wouldn’t even look.

Even when faced with Heizi, who was such a lazy bum that even his parents couldn’t control him, Yan Fei had never been this frustrated. No matter what he said, the girl just wouldn’t let him buy.

Just as he was following the girl from store to store listlessly, he heard a shout, "Xu Xing, you’re out shopping! Oh, Hero Yan is also here!"

Turning their heads, they saw a plump girl in a red dress waving at them from the doorway of a shop not far away.

This was Ji Yunyun, a classmate of Xu Xiaoyan whose home was in the county. When Yan Fei had delivered food to the school in the past, the girl had joined them a few times. However, the girl only joined when someone sent food from her home, probably feeling guilty eating for free when no one sent food.

Actually, she wasn’t fat, just living comfortably with a bit of baby weight, and was quite cheerful and lively.

Watching this girl chat away with Xu Xiaoyan, Yan Fei got an idea.
