Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

It was already eight o'clock. Su Xingchen looked at Liu Lihua and saw that she had turned off the light in her room and seemed to have fallen asleep, so he quietly left the house. Who knew that he just remembered that he didn't seem to have brought the weight when he left the house. He didn't have this thing in his space. Fortunately, he remembered it, otherwise he wouldn't know how to sell it today.

Su Xingchen quietly went back to the room, took out two scales from the cabinet and put them in the space, and then went out with peace of mind. When he went out, he saw the third uncle standing at the door with a bucket. He walked up quickly and said, "Third uncle, you haven't left yet?"

"No, didn't you say you were going to Pigeon City today too? I was thinking of going with you tonight, so let's go." Yan Bugui said as he walked towards the gate carrying a bucket of water.

Su Xingchen followed him and said, "Uncle, I'm going to Pigeon City today, but it's not on your way. I have to go see my friend first, so you can go by yourself later."

"Oh? That's fine. I'll leave the door open for you at night. I'll put the door lock on your windowsill. Just remember to lock it when you come back at night." Yan Bugui nodded and said.

"Okay, I got it. I'm leaving first, Third Uncle." After saying that, Yan Bugui and Su Xingchen walked in different directions. Although the weather was a bit cold, Yan Bugui felt warm inside with a bucket of fish. His life was getting more and more promising.

Su Xingchen wrapped his scarf around his neck. Who knows who he might meet on the road? It's better to keep a low profile and put safety first. The snow was all over the road, and Su Xingchen couldn't walk fast. If he wasn't careful, he would have fallen. Fortunately, he came out early. It took him more than 40 minutes to get to Wang Chunsheng's house. It was almost nine o'clock when he got to his house. At the entrance of the alley before his house, Su Xingchen took out the bag and the weight from the space and walked in with the two bags.

Su Xingchen thought he had to wait for Wang Chunsheng at the door, but he saw Wang Chunsheng standing at the door as soon as he arrived at the courtyard. Wang Chunsheng saw Su Xingchen carrying two big bags and hurried over. He was surprised that Su Xingchen had so much strength. He knew how far his home was from Su Xingchen's home, and it was not easy to walk on the road in the heavy snow.

"Brother Chen, how can you lift such a heavy thing by yourself?" He was very surprised at Su Xingchen's performance.

"Hey, keep a low profile. Can you carry it later?" Su Xingchen handed a bag of apples to Wang Chunsheng.

"Hey, this big bag is quite heavy." After Wang Chunsheng took it and lifted it, he admired Su Xingchen's strength even more. This was really not something that ordinary people could lift.

"By the way, your mother didn't know when you came out just now, right?" Su Xingchen put down the bag in his hand and prepared to take a break. After all, in Wang Chunsheng's eyes, he had carried it all the way here from home, and if he didn't take a break, there would definitely be some problems.

"My mother knew that I was out. I told her that I was going to help a colleague on the night shift today. I used to do this often, so she didn't think it was a big deal." Wang Chunsheng said with a smile.

"Okay then, just put on your scarf and let's get ready to go there." Su Xingchen said as he picked up the bag.

"Okay." Wang Chunsheng covered his face with the scarf without hesitation, then looked at the apple bag and followed Su Xingchen.

"Brother Chen, how are we going to sell these apples later?" Wang Chunsheng quickly walked to Su Xingchen and asked. After all, he had to ask the price when selling something.

"I have two scales here. We'll each take one and sell things in different places. It's 20 cents per pound. No need to bargain with them, just 20 cents. If someone wants to buy, we'll sell it. If no one asks, there's no need to rush." ​​Su Xingchen took a deep breath. It was really cold at night and his nose was frozen.

"Okay, I got it, brother." Wang Chunsheng nodded and agreed. Anyway, the things belonged to Su Xingchen, so he could sell them however he wanted.

"By the way, have you given your mother today's cloth coupons? The weather is unusually cold this year. Hurry up and make some clothes for your family." Su Xingchen couldn't help but remind Wang Chunsheng when he saw that he was still wearing such thin clothes.

"Yes, but I didn't see the ticket when Mr. Wang gave it to me. He only gave me two feet of cloth coupons..." Before Wang Chunsheng finished speaking, Su Xingchen interrupted him.

"What? Why would Uncle Wang do such a thing? It shouldn't happen. He is not the kind of person who would do such a thing for such a small amount of money. You can't judge a person by his appearance." Su Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't have much contact with Uncle Wang, he could never tell that he was such a cunning person.

"Brother, you interrupted me before I even finished speaking. You really misunderstood Uncle Wang." When Wang Chunsheng heard what Su Xingchen said, he immediately stood up for Uncle Wang.

"Ah? So you tell me, I was really too anxious." Su Xingchen felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. It was true that he seemed to have spoken too hastily just now.

"Although Uncle Wang gave me two feet of cloth coupons, he gave me two kilograms of cotton coupons." Wang Chunsheng then said.

"Of course! These two kilograms of cloth coupons are enough to make you a thick piece of clothing. Look at you, you're wearing such thin clothes, how can you bear it? You must have developed a chronic disease when you are young, and it will be difficult to cure when you are old." Su Xingchen couldn't help feeling guilty towards Uncle Wang when he heard this. It seemed that he was being too narrow-minded. However, it seemed that Uncle Wang was a good person. He could see that Wang Chunsheng was in trouble, so he not only gave him cloth coupons but also cotton coupons.

"I... I know. I gave the ticket to my mother at noon, and she went to exchange cloth and cotton in the afternoon. She insisted on altering my old clothes and adding some cotton. I think Tian Xin and my mother are still young, so Tian Xin only needs to use half a pound of cotton to make her winter clothes thicker, and the rest will be just right for my mother. I can still handle it, so just make me a thicker set next year." In Wang Chunsheng's view, he is the pillar of their family, and he cannot let his mother and sister suffer. It's okay for him to work harder.

After hearing his words, Su Xingchen felt that Wang Chunsheng had no choice. No one wanted to wear only thin clothes and suffer the cold every day. If he hadn't taken him fishing, his family would probably have spent the whole New Year in the cold. Especially this year was so cold, maybe they would have health problems.

"Chunsheng, I told you at that time that you would get five dollars if you accompanied me to sell things once, right?" Su Xingchen thought for a long time before speaking.

"Yeah, what's the matter, brother? It's okay to give as much as you think is appropriate. I'm already very happy to help you." When Wang Chunsheng heard Su Xingchen's words, he thought that he felt that he had given too much and hurried to express his gratitude. After all, in his opinion, Su Xingchen's family had already helped them a lot, and he would help him sell things even if Su Xingchen didn't give him money.
