Chapter 87: Capable of Anything
“The vegetable market said so. Ugh, now I have to fight for vegetables every day. It's so annoying. I can't get any of the first batch in the morning. I can only wait until the afternoon, and even then it's limited. People are really strange. I never liked vegetables before, but when I couldn't get enough of them, I started craving them. I have to have them every meal. If I don't eat them for one meal, I feel uncomfortable. I'll talk to you later. If I'm any later, I won't be able to buy any vegetables.”
Sisi stopped her. “Don't fight for them. I'll get you some.”
“How can I accept that?” The old lady said this, but her mouth was about to split to her ears.
Sisi said, “It's okay, I'll bring them to your house later.”
“Okay, thank you.”
The Li family's door was locked.
Sisi opened the door, parked her bike and locked it, then moved the door of the small cellar in the yard.
There were no more baby bok choy, carrots, chives, or garlic sprouts.
There were still a lot of them the day before yesterday when Qin Yanci came to visit.
It must have been Li Yuwei who stole them and gave them to Feng Shuangxi.
She also started to take things out.
She'll count it all against Li Yuwei later.
Humph!
She first took five cabbages, then a small bag of spinach, and delivered them to the old lady's house.
The old lady beamed with joy. “There's so much. I'm so embarrassed to always be eating your stuff. My relative brought this wild honey from the countryside. It tastes really good. Here, I'll give you a jar.”
“Wild honey is hard to come by. And it's such a big jar. Keep it for yourself.” Sisi refused.
“Don't be so polite. Take it.”
Sisi finally took it.
The old lady said, “You're getting married on the fifteenth. Why haven't you sent out invitations yet?”
“No rush.” Sisi said.
“You're really calm. Back then, I sent out invitations a month in advance.”
Sisi laughed.
But in her heart, she sighed. What good would it do if she wasn't calm?
To make a fuss?
In the end, wouldn't I be the one who got criticized?
She sat for a while and then left.
The house was still empty when she got back.
She put the honey away, went into her room, took a bag, put the vegetables in the bag, and went to the family housing complex.
She put the vegetables in the kitchen and took down the two fish from the back window. She planned to clean and pickle them after they thawed.
She had just put the fish in the sink.
When Qin Yanci came out of the room. “I thought it was Old Qin. It's hard to buy vegetables outside now. Where did you get so many vegetables?”
“I have my ways.” Sisi said smugly.
Qin Yanci was impressed.
She was young, but she had both courage and determination.
Every time he thought about how much she made in a day, enough for him to save for two or three years, he felt incredible.
“I also bought you two books.” Sisi proudly picked up the books she had just put down from the shelf.
Qin Yanci looked down.
A rare English-Chinese dictionary and Chinese-Russian translation.
“You bought them from the black market?” He'd seen these books at the black market stalls before the New Year.
Nobody is studying this now.
If they are found buying them in private, they might get into trouble. Over time, these books have been ignored.
Sisi said with determination. “Yes! Do you like them? I don't understand them, but I think you'll understand.”
Qin Yanci was embarrassed. Does she think I can do anything? “I like them.”
“I'm glad you like them.”
"…"
The two of them talked more and more.
Sisi remembered that she still had to clean the fish. She put on her gloves and got ready.
“I'll do it.” He said.
Sisi said, “You know how to do it?”
“Of course, I know how to do it.”
Qin Yanci did the work. Sisi walked to the television that had already been unwrapped. She touched it here and there.
He saw this and said, “Do you want to watch TV?”
