I fell in love in the seventies

35

The two went to the town to buy some daily necessities. Su Tang also bought some small cakes for Grandma Chen, who was old and had bad teeth, so she liked to eat soft food.

Chen Yingzhou hadn't come to sell things for a while, and met two acquaintances and chatted with them. The taller one was Sun Fu, and the other was Zhou Liang. Sun Fu specialized in reselling all kinds of grains, and he could sell both coarse grains and fine grains. Zhou Liang sold a variety of things, basically whatever was in demand, he would resell, and sometimes he could even get you imported goods.

It was a coincidence that Chen Yingzhou knew the two of them. Before, Chen Yingzhou came to sell osmanthus cakes. This thing was not easy to hold and was easy to break. He carefully protected it all the way, but he didn't expect that he bumped into Zhou Liang who suddenly came out. The basket in Chen Yingzhou's hand fell and the osmanthus cake was broken into pieces.

People in this era are all honest. Zhou Liang said that he would compensate Chen Yingzhou for money and asked him to give a price. Chen Yingzhou picked up the basket and didn't ask for money.

Osmanthus cakes are rare things. Zhou Liang felt as if his own things were ruined. He was very distressed. He came to sell groceries that day. To show his kindness, he stuffed a lot of things into Chen Yingzhou.

Soap, needles and thread, and a bunch of odds and ends, almost filled up Chen Yingzhou's small basket.

Although the osmanthus cake was broken and couldn't be sold, it was still edible. Anyway, it was almost noon, so Chen Yingzhou invited Zhou Liang to eat with him. Zhou Liang had a good nose and had already smelled the sweetness of the osmanthus cake, so he didn't bother to be polite with him.

The two of them were eating the broken osmanthus cake at Zhou Liang's stall. It happened that Sun Fu had something to ask Zhou Liang, so the two people became three people.

Sun Fu sighed as he ate. He had never eaten such delicious pastries in his life. They were crispy, sweet and not greasy. They were much better than those sold in the supply and marketing cooperative!

He asked Chen Yingzhou who made this thing. Zhou Liang laughed at him and said, "Why ask? It must be his wife!"

Chen Yingzhou was busy in the kitchen in Sutang as usual. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, but he didn't deny it. Sun Fu was envious. His wife couldn't even make a steamed bun, let alone make cakes. It was as hard as a stone. It was too shabby to use it for self-defense when going out.

Sun Fu felt embarrassed to eat for free, so he packed two pounds of red beans for Chen Yingzhou. The three of them knew each other. Later, when Chen Yingzhou came to sell things again, Sun Fu and Zhou Liang helped him a lot.

In fact, Chen Yingzhou had noticed these two people a long time ago. They started to do some small business of speculation in the first few years. Although they didn't make much money, they made money faster than farming. They knew everything about the situation in the town. They knew what was there, where they could set up stalls, and who had the final say in which area. Chen Yingzhou had just arrived and needed someone to lead him, so that he could take fewer detours and reduce unnecessary troubles.

That's why he deliberately didn't let Zhou Liang lose money, just as a favor to make friends.

After a few words, Sun Fu noticed Su Tang standing next to Chen Yingzhou. His expression immediately became ambiguous, and he smiled and said, "Little Chen, this is the sister-in-law who can make osmanthus cakes, right?"

Su Tang was stunned after hearing this. Osmanthus cakes? She hadn't made osmanthus cakes for a long time.

At that time, she should not have been with Chen Yingzhou yet, right?
