80s control group: After the marriage exchange, I was loved by the group

Chapter 22: Face Reading

When Li Jian came back from dinner, he saw Lin Chuxia wandering around a pile of scrap metal.

When Lin Chuxia saw that it was him, her eyes lit up, "I've already paid the bill. I have to thank you, big brother. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how long I would have to wait in line."

Li Jian really admired her for her words. It was obvious that she was able to squeeze to the front because of her strength, but her words were obviously flattering, but she didn't look annoying at all.

Looking at Lin Chuxia again, although she was dressed as a peasant woman, she had fair skin and a pretty face, especially her almond-shaped eyes, which seemed to glow. She looked different from ordinary rural women in any way.

He thought that he was no exception and was always more tolerant when meeting a beautiful woman.

"Okay, no need to be polite anymore. Next time you come alone to deliver the vegetables, just mention your brother Li to the person who weighs them, and someone will take care of you."

Lin Chuxia's smile got bigger. "Then I'd like to thank Brother Li first. I knew it, Brother Li is a kind person at first glance."

Li Jian touched his nose uncomfortably. He didn't mean well. He just happened to meet the director when he was having dinner. He didn't know what was wrong today, but the director actually listened to what the woman said and praised him several times in front of his colleagues in the cafeteria.

This was the first time that everyone looked at him with strange eyes, and some people who usually didn't talk much came over to eat with him.

"It's getting late, go home and have lunch." After hearing so many nice words, he was a little overwhelmed.

Lin Chuxia didn't plan to leave. She pointed at the pile of broken carts in the corner and said, "Brother Li, I have to ask you something. Who is in charge of these carts? Of course, if Brother Li has the connections, I will shamelessly ask Brother Li to help me and see if he can sell me one. I don't want a good one, just the old ones."

Li Jian was amused when he heard this. "Do you really think I'm easy to talk to? Or do you think I'm so capable?"

"Both," Lin Chuxia answered sincerely, "Brother Li looks kind. And to be honest, I'm good at reading faces. Brother Li has the look of an official. I can't say anything else, but Brother Li's face will at least allow him to become a director. These broken carts are here to help your company pay for its debts. You might as well put their remaining energy to good use."

Lin Chuxia was not lying. She noticed Li Jian when she was weighing herself just now.

The two knew each other in their previous life. At that time, Li Jian was the director of the Market Management Bureau, and Lin Chuxia had dealt with him a lot.

The corners of Li Jian's mouth twitched wildly, "You are so good at reading faces, but didn't you see that I am just a weight-measurement worker now?"

After saying this, he turned around and left. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, the girl would set a trap for him again.

Lin Chuxia was not in a hurry. Nothing can be done overnight. Besides, she had made some progress. At least she wouldn't have to rush to weigh the vegetables next time she came to deliver them.

Qinjia Village is a village in the city, but it is clearly distinguished from the surrounding factory housing estates, and is even more isolated from those government housing estates. After all, non-agricultural commercial grain still has great advantages these days.

On the way back, Lin Chuxia took a walk around the area.

When they got home, Qin's father and mother had already eaten. They asked Lin Chuxia if she had eaten, and they were heating up food for her.

Lin Chuxia had already eaten on the way back. She bought two pancakes and a bowl of porridge from a roadside pancake shop, and ate them with free pickles provided by the pancake stall.

After eating for half an hour, I could clearly see who were the people coming in and out of the pancake shop and what they ate.

The memory of this time in my previous life is too long ago, and I only have a rough idea of ​​it. Since I want to do it, I will try my best to do it to the best of my ability.

After thanking Qin's mother, he returned to the house and took a shower in the space first. It was more convenient to take a shower in the space since Qin Yang was not at home.

When I was taking out some clean clothes, ten dollars fell out of them.

Without asking, she knew it was Qin Yang who put it there. Thinking of the man's reluctant look before he left, Lin Chuxia smiled silently. The Qin Yang she knew was completely different from the Qin Yang described by Lin Jiayi.

He put the 10 yuan together with the money from selling tomatoes today, and then took out the stack of money he got from the Lin family from the space and counted it.

The total amount is 380 yuan.

Originally I just wanted to get back the 300 yuan betrothal money from the Qin family, but I didn't expect to get a pleasant surprise.

Lin Chuxia did not feel any burden of taking money from her family. This amount of money was far less than one ten-thousandth of what the Lin family took from her in her previous life, and even less than what she had contributed to the Lin family in the past twenty years.

Xiaoqingshan Village
Lin Jiayi endured the nausea and crawled out of the pigsty. She used the little pig food left in the feeding bucket and went to the chicken coop to feed the chickens. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw a red-skinned egg lying in the chicken coop.

Lin Jiayi looked around and saw that there was no one around. She carefully stepped into the chicken coop and put the eggs into her pocket.

Before I even walked out of the chicken pen, a deep voice rang out, "What are you doing? Picking up eggs?"

Lin Jiayi was startled by the sound and accidentally stepped on chicken poop.

Looking at my mother-in-law's dark face from the weather and sun, I felt guilty and said, "I just came in to feed the chickens."

Old Lady Li has already stretched out her hand. "It just so happens that Guangyuan has been working in the fields all day, so I will cook him an egg to replenish his body. You don't work in the fields either, and you are well fed and well cared for at home. You won't compete with Guangyuan for this egg, right? After all, Guangyuan is your man."

Lin Jiayi almost broke her teeth. She was lucky enough to say that she wanted to eat well and drink well and take good care of herself.

Apart from the big pot of stew and steamed buns eaten on the day she got married, and the leftovers from the banquet, she ate pickled vegetable pancakes and steamed buns from the second day onwards. Even the better ones were given to Li Guangyuan first.

No matter how unhappy she was, Lin Jiayi still took out the eggs from her pocket.

Old Mrs. Li took the eggs, snorted coldly and went into the kitchen.

Lin Jiayi's eyes turned red with grievance. She ignored the pig food bucket and went straight into her room.

Li Guangyuan had just come back from the fields after taking a shower and was looking for clothes in the closet. Finally, he found a pair of patched trousers and put them on.

Seeing Lin Jiayi enter the house, she asked without turning her head, "Have you fed the pigs and chickens? Is the meal ready? Mom is old, so you should help out at home. Also, why haven't you washed so many dirty clothes? I'm almost out of clothes..."

"Li Guangyuan, I didn't marry you to do your laundry, cook for you, and feed your pigs and chickens."

Li Guangyuan turned around in surprise and saw Lin Jiayi's face full of anger, "What's the matter?" Isn't the purpose of marrying a wife to have someone to do the laundry and cooking?

When Lin Jiayi saw the man's face and thought of his future achievements, she suppressed the grievances in her heart.

"Guangyuan, when are you going to do what I told you a while ago?"

Li Guangyuan knew she was talking about doing business again, but can business be done just by saying it? Their family had been farmers for generations, so how could they be good at doing business?

"Jiayi, I think things are pretty good now. I'll go to the fields to work, and you take care of the house. I've calculated that we have enough food this year. If we plant more wheat next year, it won't be long before we can eat white flour every day..."
