Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 1126 80 Little Stutterer Pork Shop 21

The two of them cut the meat, and one of them was responsible for putting the meat into a bag and handing it over. Usually, when buying vegetables from Chen Ping'an, many people would try to get a little discount, and it was normal to round down the price.

But for some reason, even though the girl in front of them looked quite pretty and charming, they didn't dare to haggle over the price when they took the meat from her.

He couldn't even utter a few cents, his lips moving as he looked at the girl's icy, snow-like eyes.

Moreover, some people recognized Lingyao, so they dared not approach her. They just secretly peeked at her out of curiosity. It is said that girls change a lot as they grow up, and this Jiang family girl has indeed changed a lot. She looks like a girl from the city.

Few of the educated youth in the village before her had her temperament and appearance.

So when Chen Ping'an finished packing up and doing the accounting at the end of the day, he found that compared to the same weight of pork, the money he made today was more than ten yuan more than the money he made from previous sales.

He took out a small coin and handed it to Lingyao.

"Thank you for your help."

Lingyao raised an eyebrow as she looked at the money he handed her; it was rare for her not to accept money from the God of Wealth.

Instead, he said, "No need for money, just do me a favor..."

When Chen Ping'an returned home after selling the pork, his mother was cooking on the stove.

Thinking about how hard Chen Ping'an worked selling pork today, I specially made a meat dish: stir-fried pork with green peppers, a bowl of cabbage and tofu, and two slices of cured pork that was cured last year during the Spring Festival, stir-fried with green beans.

It was stir-fried with the lard that Lingyao had given to Chen Ping'an last time.

The elderly are reluctant to use oil when cooking; they just heat the pan a little bit so that the food is slightly coated with oil.

However, the old lady thought that the lard Chen Ping'an brought back was really fragrant. Even if only a little bit was used, the stir-fried dishes would be full of aroma and would not stick to the pan because there was not enough oil. Instead, they would be very fragrant.

The green peppers and green beans look vibrant and fresh, with beautiful colors and delicious taste.

One old person and one child, one meat dish and two vegetable dishes.

It was quite a sumptuous meal.

Previously, Chen Ping'an would cook after selling pork, but since the old lady returned from the hospital, she felt much better, her body felt light, and she no longer felt so heavy.

Since I rarely have the strength and energy, I want to be more active, so the old lady took over the task of cooking every day.

Seeing Chen Ping'an return so early, washing his knife and pulling his cart in the yard, the old lady, holding a large shovel, craned her neck and called out to him.

"Ping'er, why are you back so early today?"

Chen Ping'an stood at the door without saying a word, silently washing things.

The old lady could tell at a glance that she was probably angry, but she didn't know what she was so angry about.

Chen Ping'an has been like this since he was a child. No matter who bullies him or laughs at him outside, he will come back like this. He won't reply to anything you say, and he will just keep his head down and find something to do.

He was already being ridiculed because he felt he couldn't speak well, so naturally he was even less willing to speak after returning home.

Besides, there's no point in talking about this kind of thing.

Do you think that if I speak up, those people will stop talking?

Will not.

Especially in a family like the Chen family's, where there's only an old man and a young child, the old man is naturally peaceful and not good at getting into conflicts. Even if he knows that Chen Ping'an has been bullied or talked about, and he takes Chen Ping'an to confront the family, they'll just say a few words about how a child doesn't know any better and not to take it to heart.

What can I do?

However, Chen Ping'an rarely gets angry about such things now, because getting angry is useless and will only upset himself.

That's why the old lady was curious about what was wrong with Ping'er, the butcher, today.

After Chen Ping'an finished cleaning everything, he went back to his room to change his clothes.

After a day of selling pork, Chen Ping'an would definitely smell – the smell of pork, oil, and blood. He didn't like it, so he would wipe himself down and change his clothes every time he came back from selling pork.

Fortunately, there is a small river in the village, so there is no shortage of water. There are also soapberries in the village for washing clothes. They are all grown by the villagers themselves. Except for some people who are better off and will buy laundry detergent and soap, most households have a big bag of soapberries.

When washing clothes, take out a little soap, crush it, and soak it in water for about ten minutes until it foams. For dirtier areas, rub it repeatedly with soap shavings. It's a natural laundry detergent.

However, the water is quite cold in winter, so soapberry doesn't work as well.

Chen Ping'an changed his clothes and was about to go to the river to wash his clothes when Old Mrs. Chen, who had been watching him from behind, hurriedly called him back.

"Ping'er, wash the clothes tomorrow morning. The food is already heated up, why are you still running outside?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping'an took the clothes he was carrying back into the house and then helped Old Mrs. Chen set the food on the table.

The table was square, not very big, but just right for an elderly person and a child.

Grandma Chen glanced at Chen Ping'an, who was engrossed in eating, and picked up a piece of lean meat covered in oil from her bowl and put it into Chen Ping'an's bowl.

She casually asked him a question.

"All the meat is sold out today, is everything alright?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, indicating no.

Actually, there was something going on. She hadn't asked for his ten yuan, but instead made a request: she wanted him to accompany her to the city.

Chen Ping'an had never been to the city, but had only heard people from his village talk about it. They said the city was very luxurious, with buildings that were more than ten stories high, and the roads were all paved with cement. It not only had car and barber shops that were almost unheard of in the village, but also many other wonderful things.

Chen Ping'an originally planned to take Old Lady Chen to the provincial capital or city for treatment, but he hadn't saved enough money yet, and he himself wasn't ready.

I always felt out of place in the advanced and luxurious place they described.

I heard that people in the city all speak Mandarin, and people from the village like them are called country bumpkins when they go there.

What's more... he himself can't even speak the village dialect clearly.

So Chen Ping'an is in a dilemma right now.

On one hand, he was somewhat inclined to go, not only because she had helped him so much and he should agree to her conditions, but mainly because he also wanted to go with her, since she had said that he would accompany her to help carry her things.

If he doesn't come with her, will she find someone else to help her move her things?

As Chen Ping'an thought of this, the corners of his mouth dropped two degrees.

However, he does have concerns about going to the city now. First of all, he has a mental hurdle to overcome.

Also, although Grandma Chen's health has improved a lot recently, he is still hesitant to travel far alone and leave her at home, in case something happens.
