The situation was urgent and the restaurant was in urgent need of food, so Ouyang Sihai took his wife and went directly to Chentang Village, which was closest to the provincial road.

Chen Lingli, a classmate of theirs, lives in this village.

Teacher Ouyang herself did not expect that she would buy groceries at her students' homes.

Chen Lingli didn't expect that the first time her head teacher came to her home this year was not for a home visit, but to buy groceries.

"Student Chen Lingli, how many vegetables did your family grow this year? If there are any surplus, can you sell some to the teacher?"

Since it concerns his wife's job, Teacher Ouyang also becomes more amiable.

Chen Lingli's parents were very panicked. They nodded repeatedly without waiting for their daughter to speak. "Yes, yes. This year, my family planted half an acre of Chinese cabbage and half an acre of Chinese cabbage. We sold half of the Chinese cabbage, and there are still a lot left. We sold some of the Chinese cabbage during the Chinese New Year, but it was not selling well afterwards. Teacher Ouyang, if you want to eat some vegetables, just come to my house and get them. It's free!"

Ouyang Sihai quickly pointed at his wife behind him and explained -

"It's not for my family to eat, but for my wife's workplace cafeteria to buy it. Oh, I don't know the details, so let her tell you."

Hao Xue quickly explained the whole story to Chen Lingli's parents.

When Chen Lingli's parents heard that this store was opened by the family of their daughter's classmate, they immediately stood up, one went to pick up the basket and the other went to get the shovel.

Worried that there would not be enough food in the restaurant for lunch, Hao Xue and Ouyang Sihai and his wife also went to the fields to pick vegetables.

After the Chinese New Year, the cabbages in the fields no longer look as good as they did in winter. Some of the leaves outside have begun to turn green. If they are not harvested soon, they will have to be chopped down and fed to pigs in a while.

Hao Xue has been a housewife for many years and has rich experience in buying vegetables. After cutting down a cabbage, she broke off the old stalks on the outside, broke off a leaf from the inside, tasted it, and found that the leaf was not bitter, which meant that the cabbage was still edible.

It didn't look like much, so they asked the price. It was three cents cheaper per pound than the cabbages they bought in town that morning. Hao Xue waved her hand and took all the cabbages from Chen Lingli's house.

The choy sum next to it was a seasonal vegetable of this season and was a bit expensive, so Hao Xue didn't order it. After asking, she heard that Chen Lingli's family also had some green radishes, carrots, coriander, green garlic sprouts, etc., so she ordered some too.

When they left, Ouyang Sihai and Hao Xue each had two large woven bags full of vegetables tied to the back of their bicycles.

For the rest, Hao Xue paid a deposit and asked Chen Lingli's father to borrow a tractor from the villagers to help her deliver the vegetables to the store.

Of course, they couldn't let him make the trip in vain, so in addition to the money for the vegetables, Hao Xue gave Chen's father an extra 30 yuan as delivery fee.

After Ouyang Sihai and his wife left, Chen Lingli's father Chen Qiang called his daughter to him and asked her about her relationship with the daughter of the owner of Fangjie Fast Food Restaurant.

"Dad, why are you asking this?"

Chen Lingli looked reluctant.

Just now when the head teacher came over and said she wanted to buy groceries, she really wanted to remind Teacher Ouyang to ask them to go buy groceries from other families.

She also knew that Teacher Ouyang and his wife came to her house specifically to buy vegetables in order to take care of her business.

But her parents really don't deserve it!

Everyone grows vegetables, so why do other families in the village sell their vegetables early, but only their family is dragging their feet and hasn’t sold all of them?

After all, it's because her parents like to be too clever.

When other people sell vegetables, in order to leave a good impression on the buyers, they will add some to the vegetables after weighing them.

Although it’s not worth much, I feel good about buying it. I will definitely come to you to buy it next time.

But what did her parents do?

The vegetables have been weighed and the money has been paid, but they still insist on secretly shaking some off the scales.

Chen Lingli really doesn’t understand!

How much are the few vegetables that the two of them shook off worth?

They were seen several times by others, who got angry and started quarreling with them, and finally the news became known to everyone in the town.

Now in their town, many people know that her parents are "dirty" and stingy when selling vegetables. There are so many vegetable stalls in the town, unless you are a grown man who rarely comes out to buy vegetables, you might be cheated.

Those who buy groceries from them regularly have already blacklisted their family.

If she hadn't known about her parents' character, she would have spoken up long ago when He Sanhua asked Jiang Tian to sell vegetables.

Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, her parents still targeted Jiang Tian's fast food restaurant.

When her father asked her if she had a good relationship with Jiang Tian, ​​Chen Lingli took a deep breath, pretended to be disgusted, and said to her father:

"Don't listen to what Teacher Ouyang said. Neither He Tiantian nor her mother are good people."

"They say they are helping their classmate sell vegetables, but I heard that every time He Sanhua's family sends vegetables to the store, they bargain for the price."

"Besides, the vegetables delivered cannot be soaked in water. If they are soaked in water, the weight will be deducted. If a truckload of vegetables is delivered to the store, the profit will not be as much as setting up a stall in the vegetable market."

Chen Lingli tried her best to slander Jiang Tian and Hu Qiongfang, but it seemed to be useless.

Chen Qiang smiled and said to his wife Liu Mei, "Didn't Mr. Ouyang's wife tell us to hurry up and deliver the food to the store?"

"Well, I'll go borrow a tractor, and Xiaomei, go to our vegetable garden and dig up some spinach and cilantro, and then we'll send them over when the time comes."

When Chen Lingli heard what her father said, her scalp almost exploded.

"Dad! How could you do this?"

"It's already what month, our cilantro is about to sprout and bloom, and our chickens don't like to eat old spinach. If you send these vegetables over, and our class teacher finds out, will I still be able to survive in the class?"

Junior high school students are at the most sensitive and face-conscious stage of their adolescence.

Chen Lingli felt like she was suffocating when she thought about how her parents actually sold the vegetables that even the chickens at home wouldn't eat to her head teacher's wife, and the "sucker" was the classmate sitting behind her.

"No! Mom, please try to persuade my dad. Even if it's not for me, we have finally managed to sell all the vegetables in the field. You can pick the good and edible ones to send over. If they enjoy the food, they will definitely think of us next time."

"This is the first time you delivered vegetables to the store, but you mixed in those old, inedible vegetable stems from the fields. People are not fools. They have been fooled this time. Will they buy vegetables from us next time?"

Chen Lingli thought she had explained herself very clearly, but she didn't expect that her father would simply not listen.

Some even thought that Chen Lingli was a child who didn't understand the ways of the world at all.

"Are you stupid? Your head teacher brought her wife to our house to buy groceries. She came here to give us money."

"Teacher Ouyang must know that our family is in a difficult situation and is worried that you don't have money to study. When the time comes, these vegetables will be sent over. As long as Teacher Ouyang's lover turns a blind eye, won't these vegetables be sold?"

"Anyway, they'll just chop it up and make it into lunch boxes and sell it to other people. They won't eat it themselves, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Lingli: “…”

No! She had to think of a way to quickly inform Jiang Tian!
