"So early?" she drawled, feeling extremely sleepy.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll come back to work in the afternoon." Ji Yang said, put on his shoes and walked out gently.

Ye Jiao half-squinted her eyes, wanting to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep. Strangely enough, Ji Yang was going to town, which was only six or seven kilometers away. What was there to worry about?

After tossing and turning, the sun gradually rose, and it was time to go to work.

When she got to the field, there were a bunch of people she didn't want to see gathered around her, and her heartbeats even accelerated.

"Ye Jiao." The girl with a ponytail called her first and asked doubtfully, "Where is your husband? He didn't come to work with you?"

"He went to town." Ye Jiao replied.

At the beginning, they were all in an educated youth academy. They were all educated youths who came down. Mu Weiwei and the others were waiting to be taken back home. If they got married here, they would not be able to get out. They looked down on these mud-legged people in the countryside.

But some people were devolved for several years and couldn't wait any longer, so they married off or married local girls.

For her, it makes no difference whether she has a home or not.

"Going to town? But he didn't come to work yesterday. You were alone every time. We girls are weak and the work points we earn are not enough to support two people." Mu Weiwei spoke again, her tone was quite gloating.

Ye Jiao married a rural person from Shangougou, and after registering as a local resident, she was not in the same class as them. When they left, they became workers, and she could only be a farmer for the rest of her life.

In the past, they were the most beautiful female educated youths in the dean, but Ye Jiao was better looking than her. All the male educated youths liked to help her do things. Now that the other one is gone, she has received a lot of preferential treatment, and she can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean he didn't. If you have something to do in the morning, he will come in the afternoon." Ye Jiao shrank her hand slightly and said in a calm voice, "I'm going to work first."

Before she could answer, she had already left.

"Why bother?" Mu Weiwei sighed, looked to the side, and said leisurely, "Qijie, what do you think she thinks?"

If you get married and have children, you will be stuck here for the rest of your life.

Xu Qijie looked at Ye Jiao's leaving voice, with an angry and dissatisfied look on his face, and said calmly, "You're just blind!"

He chased her but didn't agree, and in the blink of an eye he was with a guy with muddy legs. He was lazy and didn't care about anything. He was self-satisfied and hopeless.

It simply tainted his love for her.

Mu Weiwei sighed again and said softly, "We will definitely go back to the city. I heard that there will be places for the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University this year. Let's go together."

Xu Qijie's parents are senior technicians and their family background is relatively good. Her parents are teachers and will not stay in the countryside all their lives.

Speaking of this quota, Xu Qijie's eyes flashed. His village would get three quotas at the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University every year. Once selected, he could go to university. For the educated youth who went to the countryside, that was the only hope now.

He reached for the hoe and walked forward with determination in his eyes, "I will."

at the same time.

Ji Yang had already exchanged several bamboo baskets for money and went to the black market based on his memory. These days, a lot of the food he exchanged for food stamps was not enough to eat, so he had to buy it on the black market.

A small street with everything for sale, including home-grown vegetables, eggs, chickens, and some rice or other grains.

Ji Yang found a place and placed the hive.

People coming and going are looking at it, but no one is actually buying it. They just glance at it or ask a few questions.

Food and clothing are a problem for most people, so they don't have time to eat honey.

Ji Yang was not in a hurry, so he just sat and waited while observing what was being sold on the black market. He found that rice and vegetables were the best sellers.

Some sell noodles and pastries, but it is obviously difficult to sell many.

"How do you sell this?" An old lady stood in front of him and pointed to the beehive on the ground. She knew Ji Yang was from the countryside when she saw him.

You can’t raise honey at this time, it must be wild. Everyone thinks that wild things are rich in nutrients.

"Two cents and a pound." Ji Yang answered.

"So expensive? White sugar is only 21 cents, but your honeycomb costs 25 cents? It's not honey. I have to squeeze it myself when I go back." The old lady buried her head and frowned, with a stern face.

Ji Yang saw that she was carrying a handbag, had her hair permed, and was dressed very fashionably. The style of her clothes was not common here.

This is the principle of looking at people's asking prices.

He smiled, showing his big white teeth, with a countryman's simplicity, "White sugar is definitely not as nutritious as wild honey. This is honey from the mountains. I spent a lot of effort to get the honey, and I might lose half of it if I'm not careful." Life, eat a little every day, all kinds of nutrients will be supplemented.”

"It can't be so expensive." The old lady hesitated and was obviously a little moved. She knew that this thing was not easy to get.

The grandson at home likes to drink honey water. She also thinks that this thing is expensive, and her grandson is more valuable, so he must eat expensive things.

"It's really not expensive. Honey won't go bad after being stored for several years. Let's do it this way. If you take more, I'll make it cheaper for you." Ji Yang also gave her a piece and said, "Try it and you'll be fine." I know it’s worth the price.”

Cannibals are soft-spoken.

The old lady thought it would be a waste if she didn't eat it, so she took it without hesitation. After trying it, she felt it was even better. She glanced at him and asked, "How many pounds do you weigh?"

"A little over sixteen pounds."

"Sell it to me for one cent and a half. I want it all." The old lady said directly.

Old workers can get forty or fifty yuan a month, and some can get more than seventy yuan. It’s really nothing to spend a few yuan to buy so much honey. It’s still my grandson’s favorite food, so I’m willing to spend any money.

"You bargain too hard. I can't sell it." Ji Yang smiled, but didn't show much willingness.

"This thing is hard to buy. You should think it through. Others won't buy as much as I do. You can't even sell two kilograms a day." The old lady threatened him.

"Don't make it difficult for me. It's already very cheap. I've been selling it here these days. At the beginning, I sold it for 30 cents. I can sell 4 or 5 kilograms every day. I have some vegetables at home, so I have to come and sell them together. Honey won't go bad, so I can sell it slowly. If the vegetables hadn't been sold out long ago today, I would be in a hurry to go back, and I wouldn't give you 25 cents." Ji Yang looked tangled and helpless.
