Chapter 74 Going to Yan's House
After a while, the black market boss said, "I can give you two yuan per pound of rapeseed oil, and fifty cents per pound of fish, how about that?"
Wen Xi thought the price was pretty good. The black market boss wasn't lying to her, so she nodded and agreed. "Okay, I'll give you the rapeseed oil first. You guys prepare the scales and various receipts. I'll go out and get the fish from others."
Wen Xi deliberately created the appearance of a gang, so that they would not do anything tricky. The heroine has so many things, and he didn't do anything tricky. He shouldn't be interested in such a small thing from her, right? It's obvious that the heroine has more and more valuable things!
Wen Xi walked out of the house, pushing the cart lent to her by the black market boss, then left the black market, walked to the corner, then took out the fish that had been prepared in advance from the system warehouse, and pushed it into the black market with the cart.
Wen Xi had to run twice to push all the fish into the black market. The black market boss immediately arranged for people to weigh the fish. Unexpectedly, the eight sacks of fish weighed more than 900 kilograms.
Fish costs fifty cents per pound, the total cost is four hundred and eighty yuan, plus the twenty yuan for rapeseed oil, it is exactly five hundred yuan.
Wenxi asked for three hundred yuan in cash and one hundred yuan for old items. At that time, the old items were like garbage and completely worthless. A piece of gold jewelry could only be exchanged for a few kilograms of coarse grains at most, so Wenxi exchanged the one hundred yuan for a sack of old items. Even if others saw the items in the sack, they would never think about what was inside.
Wenxi wants old items because the heroine asks for some old items every time she comes to trade. Old items are not valuable now, but will be very valuable in a few decades, so Wenxi plans to hoard some old items and keep them for future use.
The remaining one hundred yuan requires tickets, including grain tickets, sugar tickets, and meat tickets. With these tickets, you can occasionally go to the state-owned restaurant to have a feast. You can't just conjure meat out of thin air every time, right?
Afterwards, Wen Xi made an agreement with the black market boss that every time she came to trade, she would ask for some old items and asked the black market boss to prepare them for her and never fool her with fake or counterfeit products.
After leaving the black market, it was already bright. Wen Xi looked at the time and saw that there was still some time before the "Rejuvenating Pill" would lose its effect, so he slowly walked towards Yan Zheng's home. He would then find a remote place to disguise himself and take out the things he had prepared in advance from the system warehouse.
Wen Xi came to a forest, leaned against a tree trunk, then closed his eyes and went to the system warehouse to check the old items that had just been exchanged. They were all small things like jewelry and jade. There were no more valuable things like calligraphy and paintings and porcelain. It was estimated that those valuable things were in the hands of the heroine!
But Wenxi is not greedy. She is already content to exchange so many jewelries and jades for only one hundred yuan, because these things will be worth a lot of money in a few decades!
When the two hours were up, Wen Xi returned to his original appearance, picked up the things he had brought to the Yan family, and rushed to Yan Zheng's house.
At this time, some people are working and some are going to school, so there are not many people outside.
Wen Xi came over according to the address Yan Zheng wrote. When he arrived, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Aunt Yan, Uncle Yan, are you home?"
Soon the courtyard door was opened. Aunt Yan saw Wenxi standing outside the door and laughed happily, "Xiaoxi, you are finally here. Our Lili is always talking about Sister Xiaoxi!"
Aunt Yan invited Wenxi in, then closed the gate and invited Wenxi to come home, "Lili, Sister Xiaoxi is here to see you, go and talk to Sister Xiaoxi."
Yan's mother went to the kitchen to make tea for Wenxi and said to Yan's father, "Old man, go to the Public Security Bureau and ask Yan Zheng to come back. Tell him that Xiaoxi is here."
Yan Zheng always refuses blind dates and marriages on the grounds of taking care of Yan Lili. They are very anxious seeing this. Wen Xi is so beautiful, she likes her very much. Moreover, Wen Xi has done a favor for their Yan family. If Yan Zheng can interact with Wen Xi more, maybe the two of them will develop feelings for each other!
It would be great if Yan Zheng could pursue Wen Xi and make her his daughter-in-law.
Father Yan understood what Mother Yan meant and nodded happily. Then he hurried out. He was also very happy to have Wen Xi as his daughter-in-law.
Mother Yan brought out two bowls of sugar water, one for Wenxi and one for Yan Lili. Wenxi stood up hurriedly and said, "Aunt Yan, I'm an adult now, just drinking plain water is enough."
"You are our family's benefactor, how can we treat you with just plain water!" Yan's mother said with a smile. She looked at Wen Xi and liked him more and more.
As for whether he can make her his daughter-in-law, that depends on Yan Zheng's efforts.
Wen Xi took out the things in the backpack, including eggs, fish strips, tea bags, and a bunch of wild vegetables. "Aunt Yan, I'm in the countryside and don't have anything good, so I exchanged some things with the villagers. I hope Aunt Yan won't despise me."
"Xiaoxi, it's just a relief that you're here. Why do you bring so many things?" Looking at so many things, Aunt Yan liked Wenxi even more. He was a good child who was sensible and didn't like to take advantage of others.
If it were anyone else, they would have gone to their house and pestered them to arrange a job for them.
"Aunt Yan, I'll take Lili out to play for a while. Aunt Yan, please pack up these things quickly!" Wen Xi didn't want to owe anyone a favor, nor did he want to hear Yan's mother say no again, so he pulled Yan Lili to the yard to play.
The Yan family has a separate house and yard. They built a few rooms in the yard for Yan Lili's parents, but there is still some open space in the yard. The Yan family also planted some onions and garlic in old jars by the wall, and raised a few chickens to lay eggs.
Sure enough, with parents around, everything at home is arranged properly. This is the happiness of having parents around.
Of course, the premise is that the parents have correct values and do not make trouble. Some parents are restless and make trouble at home every day. You will not be happy with such parents around you.
Yan Zheng and his father walked side by side on the way home.
As they walked, the strict father reminded, "Xiaoxi is young and pretty. If she lives alone in the countryside, she will be easily targeted by those unmarried young men. They don't have the conditions to let Xiaoxi live a good life. When you have time, go to the harvest brigade more often to make those people give up."
Yan Zheng responded thoughtfully. He had been very busy dealing with that matter recently and had not gone. When this matter was over, he would go without his father's reminder.
He won't let what happened last time happen again.
If he had not left his phone number for Wenxi and asked Wenxi to contact him, Wenxi would probably have been wrongly accused.
He walked to the door, reached out and pushed it open, and saw Wenxi and Lili playing in the yard. The winter sun was shining on Wenxi's face, making her skin look fair and translucent. Her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of sacred light. Yan Zheng couldn't help but stare at her, stunned.
