Rebirth in the 1980s: Xiaoxiao's road to becoming a top student
Chapter 140 Frog in the Well
After the holiday, Yin Xiu called the village three times a day, urging Yan Xiaoxiao to go to the county town, but she refused on the grounds that she wanted to study with peace of mind.
Yan Guoqing's auto repair shop was doing very good business recently. Yin Xiu went to help out during the day and went to night school at night so she had no time to go back to the village.
Yan Xiaoxiao fought for her freedom during the period before the New Year.
Seeing that Jingxin was still listless, he decided to take him to experience the hardships of life, so the two of them came to the provincial capital and lived in Huilongwan.
Early in the morning, Jingxin was pulled out of the house by Yan Xiaoxiao.
Each person carried a large basket containing various vegetables that Yan Xiaoxiao picked from the space.
The first stop to experience the sufferings of life is to set up a street stall!
The two men reached the morning market while it was still dark. Under the dim street lights, they found a spot and laid out the vegetables they had brought.
Both of them wore hats and masks, covering themselves tightly.
Jingxin also put on a long black down jacket prepared by Yan Xiaoxiao over his monk's robe, making it impossible to tell that he was a monk.
As time went by, more and more people came to the morning market, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining were heard everywhere.
"Selling vegetables, fresh vegetables, I don't charge for the ones I grow at home if they don't taste good!" Yan Xiaoxiao shouted and nudged Jingxin with her elbow, "Scream!"
Jingxin was at a loss, "What's your name?"
He had never sold anything before, and now that he saw a lot of people looking at him, he didn't know what to do.
"Calling, like I did just now!"
He seemed quite smart before, why is he like a different person now? Is it really because the blow was too great that he became stupid?
Jingxin took a deep breath, regained his previous calm, and put a gentle smile on his face again.
It's a pity that no one saw him because he was wearing a mask.
"Fresh vegetables, no charge if they don't taste good!" A pleasant and magnetic voice sounded, and everyone around looked over.
Yan Xiaoxiao thought Jingxin would be hesitant for a while before he could get over the hurdle in his heart, but she didn't expect him to be so adaptable. Not bad, not bad!
Yan Xiaoxiao gave Jingxin a thumbs up, and Jingxin showed a smile in his eyes.
A fashionable middle-aged woman came over, looked at the vegetables carefully, and seeing that they were indeed fresh, she picked two bunches of greens, three tomatoes and two cucumbers without even asking the price.
Yan Xiaoxiao smiled enthusiastically, "Greens are three yuan a bunch, tomatoes and cucumbers are one yuan each, a total of eleven yuan."
"How much?" the aunt asked again, thinking she had heard wrongly.
"Eleven in total."
Yan Xiaoxiao was very sure. The old lady stared at her and said, "No, other people's vegetables are only a few cents per pound. Yours is too expensive. I have never seen anyone selling vegetables by the piece."
"Just little girl, you're too expensive!"
The people around were also shocked by the price and started to ask for price.
"These things only cost three or five yuan at other stalls."
"The little girl looks quite likable, how could she be so black-hearted!"
Jingxin listened to what the people around him said, took a step forward and stood in front of Yan Xiaoxiao. In his eyes, the value of these dishes was priceless. Things that could prolong life could not be measured by money!
As soon as he stood firm, a small white hand grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side. If his lower body had not been stable, he would have been pulled down.
Pure Heart:…
Yan Xiaoxiao kept smiling as she saw more and more people gathering around her.
Without explaining, she simply broke open a bright red tomato and handed the half in her right hand to the fashionable old lady who was buying vegetables.
"Try it first and then decide whether to buy it!"
The old lady wanted to refuse at first, but the fragrance of the tomatoes went straight into her nose, and finally she couldn't resist the tempting smell.
She stretched out her red-nailed hand, carefully pinched half a tomato between her thumb and index finger, and took a bite. It was this bite that made her eyes light up instantly.
The sour and sweet taste was so good that it was explosive. She had never eaten such delicious tomatoes before. She felt like she had been eating tomatoes in vain for so many years.
Just after I finished eating the tomato in my hand, Yan Xiaoxiao handed me half a washed cucumber.
This time the old lady picked it up and put it into her mouth impatiently.
The cucumber is crisp and refreshing, mmm, so delicious!
The old lady didn't have time to swallow the cucumber in her mouth. "Give me another three pounds each. No, five pounds. Give me another five pounds each."
Yan Xiaoxiao agreed, and Jingxin held the bag and started packing it skillfully.
When he estimated that it was about five pounds, he handed it to the old lady and said, "Twelve cucumbers and ten tomatoes, is that okay?"
The old lady was still savoring the cucumber she had just eaten. "Add a few more, fifteen each!"
Yan Xiaoxiao packed it and handed it to her. The old lady paid for it and took it away.
Everyone around was stunned. How delicious must it be for people to buy so much at once?
"Pack five cucumbers and tomatoes each, and three eggplants."
The person who was speaking had just stood next to the fashionable old lady, and the fragrance of tomatoes and cucumbers kept entering her nose. She was drooling.
People tend to follow the herd mentality. Seeing so many people gathering in front of this stall, many passers-by also joined in.
Yan Xiaoxiao packed the vegetables quickly, and Jingxin was responsible for collecting the money. It didn't take long before all the vegetables in the two large baskets were sold out.
There were still quite a few people who hadn't bought anything. They gradually dispersed after confirming that Yan Xiaoxiao and the others would come tomorrow morning.
Yan Xiaoxiao packed up her things and the two of them returned to Huilongwan.
I cooked two bowls of tomato and egg noodles and filled my stomach.
Now Jingxin seemed to have recovered some spirit. Yan Xiaoxiao smiled secretly in her heart, you see, this person just can't be idle. Once he is idle, he tends to think about all kinds of things.
When I am busy, everything I eat tastes delicious and all my health problems disappear.
After dinner, Yan Xiaoxiao took Jingxin to the provincial library. Looking at the building which was the same as it was ten years ago but seemed a little old, her eyes were filled with nostalgia.
As soon as Jingxin entered, he was attracted. Many of the books here are not available on their islands. Of course, there are some books on their islands, but not here. He found a few books that interested him and was immersed in the books in a short time.
Yan Xiaoxiao smiled. She knew the little monk would like this place.
Yan Xiaoxiao looked up some medical magazines and saw that medicine has been developing rapidly in recent years. She needed to understand the most cutting-edge medical technology and keep up with the times.
The two of them didn't even have lunch and just spent the whole day in the library.
The two of them didn't come out until the library was about to close.
Jingxin stood in front of the library, looked at the dark sky and let out a long sigh.
Glancing at Yan Xiaoxiao's face, which was a little blurry due to the distant lights, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I am such a narrow-minded person!"
Yan Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. "You are not? You have lived on that island since you were a child. You have only been in contact with people and things on the island. You just left a while ago. If you are not a frog in a well, what else can you call it?"
Jingxin was speechless, and in his heart he agreed with Yan Xiaoxiao's statement.
This time, the frog wants to jump out of the well to see the outside world.
