Chapter 19 Borrowing a Bicycle
Yue Feng took a flashlight, carried the two chicks and strolled to Wang Jian’s home.

At this moment, Wang Jianguo was also having dinner at home.

The food at the village secretary’s house is different. At this moment, a family of four is eating. In addition to a pot of stewed potatoes on the kang table, there is also a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of pork head. Wang Jianguo is drinking alone.

“Uncle! Are you drinking?”

“Ah! It’s Xiaofeng. Have you eaten? Come have a drink with your uncle?” Wang Jianguo glanced at the game that Yue Feng was carrying and asked casually.

“I won’t drink anymore. I just had dinner at home!”

“Is something wrong?”

“It’s a small matter! I want to borrow your bicycle to go into the city early tomorrow morning, and I’ll be back before seven o’clock! These are the flying dragon and sand chicken that I caught in the mountains, and I’m sending two of them over for you and my aunt to try!” Yue Feng said straight to the point.

“You can just borrow a bicycle and push it here directly. Why do you need to bring anything with you? We are all relatives in the village, which makes us seem so unfamiliar! Oh, this flying dragon is still alive. It’s a rare thing. It will be very delicious when we clean it up and make soup!” Wang Jianguo said with a smile.

“Hey, I caught it with my eagle! If you like it, I’ll have more later!”

“Okay! You can take the bicycle away. I won’t need it tomorrow morning!” Wang Jianguo nodded and agreed.

“Then I’ll just push the car away first?”

“Well, it’s in the warehouse in the yard! Come with me and push it!”

After seeing Yue Feng off, Wang Jianguo returned to the house and happened to look at his wife Zhang Cuilian. He said thoughtfully, “The second kid from the Yue family has finally come to his senses!”

Zhang Cuilian frowned slightly: “Xiaofeng’s father is a stubborn man. He doesn’t tolerate any injustice and likes to talk about fairness and rules. If you hadn’t supported him behind the scenes, he would have suffered a lot in the village! Let me see, Yue Lei is not as good as this kid!”

Wang Jianguo curled his lips and said, “You can’t say that. Yue Lei is a bit stubborn, but when it comes to important matters in the village, he never hesitates!

Two years ago, there was a fight with the neighboring village and the second son of Uncle Zhao had his head split open. He and Li Wentong rushed forward with knives in hand!
How many other people have the courage to do this?
Yue Lei just disdains to seek personal gain, and deep down he is definitely a good person with a sense of justice!
As a lowly official, I cannot treat everyone equally, but I cannot let honest people be bullied! “

“His family is having a hard time this year. His leg is broken and it will take a hundred days to heal. He will get a lot less work points at the end of the year!”

Wang Jianguo took a sip from the wine cup and said slowly: “The leg injury is also due to working for the collective. In principle, this is considered a work injury!
I have already compensated him for the work points! But you and Xiaona just need to know this, and keep your mouth shut when you go out, so that other villagers don’t hear and start competing with you!”

Wang Jianguo’s daughter, Wang Xiaona, pursed her lips and didn’t respond!

Wang Jianguo’s wife thought about it and said, “If that’s the case, then we can eat the game sent by his second son, and it won’t be a sin!”

“Of course, as an uncle, what’s wrong with me eating my nephew’s two chicks? But it hasn’t snowed yet, and catching a flying dragon alive is quite rare. Tomorrow you take care of the chickens, and I, Chef Wang, will show you my cooking skills!”

“Row”

……

After pushing the village secretary’s bicycle back home, Yue Feng washed his feet early and went to bed to rest.

Yue Feng was completely exhausted throughout the whole day. He left home at three in the morning and did not return home until almost four in the afternoon. After washing his feet with hot water, he lay on the kang, feeling severe soreness and swelling in his legs. It was only because he had put on leg wraps before going up the mountain, otherwise the situation would have been much worse.

I was so sleepy that I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I touched Bian Yuefeng.

Because he borrowed a bicycle, Yue Feng got up an hour later in the morning. At four o’clock, when the sky outside the window had turned white, he finally crawled out of the quilt on the kang.

It takes about an hour and a half to walk, but less than half an hour to reach the destination by bike.

When they arrived at the ghost market, Yue Feng parked his bike by the roadside, then took out the tightly wrapped flying dragon birds from his bag and lined them up. Yesterday, Yue Feng caught a total of 14 chicks, including flying dragons and sand half chickens.

He gave a flying dragon and two sand-and-half chickens to Uncle Li’s family, and a flying dragon and a sand-and-half chicken to the secretary’s family. Yue Feng brought a total of 13 animals this time, including 12 flying dragons. The sand-and-half chicken became a rare species, and there was only one.

With the successful sales experience of yesterday, Yue Feng was not in a hurry today. He kicked his hands into his sleeves, squatted on the side of the road, and waited quietly for the buyer to come.

Yue Feng arrived today by bicycle, about ten minutes earlier than yesterday. There were slightly more people on the ghost market street than yesterday.

The flying dragons tied with socks were lined up on the ground and quickly attracted the attention of buyers.

“Hello comrade, this is your flying dragon bird? How much is it?”

“A flying dragon costs one dollar each, and a male sand chicken costs seventy cents! All unharmed!”

“Can you make it cheaper? One dollar each, give me two!”

Yue Feng shook his head: “Sorry, it’s not cheap! Since you know this live flying dragon bird, you should know how much trouble it takes to keep it alive and well! Yesterday, I set up the stall for less than half an hour, and two people bought all of them!”

The customer also knew that Yue Feng was not lying. He frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then sell me a flying dragon and a sand chicken! I don’t have enough money in my pocket, and my wife is pregnant. I want to buy some game to nourish her body!”

“Okay, I’ll pick the fattest one for you! Do you have a bag?”

“without!”

“Then I’ll tie it up with wire and you can carry it. I can’t give you this small pocket made from socks!”

“can!”

After the discussion, Yue Feng took out a piece of thin wire from his bag, straightened the wings and legs of the flying dragon bird and the sand chicken, tied them together, and then handed them to the buyer.

The other party gave him a two-dollar bill, and Yue Feng gave him two one-cent bills in change.

The first business is completed, a good start!

After selling the two chicks, several people came over to ask the price. After all, this place was not far from Changbai Mountain, and everyone knew that the flying dragon bird was a good thing, but the price of more than one yuan per bird was prohibitive for ordinary people.

About twenty minutes later, the sponsor who paid for Yue Feng’s business yesterday came again.

“Yoho! All the flying dragon birds today? Still the same price?”

The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. After the buyer saw Yue Feng’s face clearly, he greeted him with a smile.

“One dollar per bird. If you buy all of them, it will be 12 dollars! Among these flying dragon birds today, there are only two hens and the rest are plump and big boys. The price is not expensive!” Yue Feng said.

“Okay! I’ll take them all!” The buyer waved his hand and bought them all.

It was still the familiar fertilizer bag. Yue Feng quickly put the chicken in the bag and then tied the bag carefully.

The money was exchanged with one hand for the goods, and soon the ten-yuan bill and two one-yuan bills that smelled of ink were handed to Yue Feng.

“Are you in a hurry to leave? Don’t be in a hurry, let’s go to another place and chat for a while?” The buyer said, pointing to the intersection in the distance.
