Chapter 19 Renting DVDs

  Zhang Qian is a chatterbox, under Wang Xin's intentional or unintentional questioning, she spilled everything, including that Wang Haodong helped her teach a lesson to several young punks, went to the neighboring village to see a doctor behind Zhang Shufang's back, and seemed to have some ambiguous relationship with the beautiful neighbor Xiao Yufen, etc., all of which were revealed.

  Wang Xin burst out laughing and said: "Can't tell at all, Little Wang, you've got a way with women!"

  "I'm speechless..." Wang Haodong didn't know how to react, he had stayed at Wang Xin's place for a few days before going to Liujiayuan Village and had experienced her sharp tongue, but it was too poisonous, he didn't dare to retort, so he just smiled wryly in response.

  "Boss, haircut."

  At this time, a customer came to the barber shop, and Wang Xin went busy. Wang Haodong quickly seized the opportunity to take Zhang Qian away together. When leaving, Wang Xin said: "Qianqian, go home and tell your sister that I will visit her at home when I am free."

  "Okay, Xin Jie, let's go." Zhang Qian nodded and responded with a "yeah", then headed out onto the streets with Wang Hao Dong.

  There aren't many vegetables left at home, so the first task for the two of them to rush to the market today is to buy some vegetables back, so the first place to go is the vegetable market.

  The vegetable market is very small, with a cross-shaped street, the road is only five meters wide, and both sides are built with bricks, with two wooden boards on top, forming a simple stall. There are also some vegetable farmers who push tricycles, open the car door, and reveal the vegetables inside, which can be considered a small mobile stall.

  Nowadays, the price of vegetables is getting more and more expensive. Basically, there are no vegetables that cost less than 1 yuan per catty. The same old varieties keep appearing: cucumbers, lotus roots, radishes, Chinese cabbage, celery, tomatoes, peppers, etc. After walking around in circles, they didn't buy any vegetables from the vendors. Instead, they chose dishes made with vegetables grown by local farmers themselves.

  The vegetables sold by vendors are mostly from other places, while the local vegetable farmers' produce is mostly non-polluting green food, which is also more reassuring to eat.

  "Hey Qianqian, why do you always buy vegetarian dishes?"

  When asked by Wang Haodong, Zhang Qian said: "There is no refrigerator at home, and meat dishes will spoil if they are left for a long time. Besides, vegetarian food is healthy and cheap, it's good to eat vegetarian food."

  "Eating vegetarian food all the time, people will become big white rabbits."

  Wang Haodong likes vegetarian food, but he has to eat meat every day, otherwise he won't have an appetite. When he saw her not buying meat dishes, he took out money and bought two pounds of pork and half a piece of braised duck.

  Actually, Wang Haodong paid the food expenses on the day he moved into Zhang Qian's house, so he didn't need to spend his own money to buy vegetables. However, he is not a stingy person, buying vegetables and whatnot doesn't require much consideration, if he wants to eat something, he just buys it, and it won't cost much anyway.

  Zhang Qian swung the vegetable basket and said: "Brother Wang, is that enough? These vegetables are enough for four or five days."

  "Alright, let's go somewhere else and take a stroll."

  Wang Haodong took the initiative to take the basket from Zhang Qian's hand, and they left the vegetable market together, strolling down another small street. He bought her a water drill hair clip, also bought one for Zhang Shufang, and took advantage of Zhang Qian's inattention to buy Xiao Yufen a necklace ornament and a box of needles, before leaving with them.

  The streets in the town were very small, and after strolling for more than an hour, they had already walked through the whole town. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Qian suggested going home, and Wang Haodong agreed.

  As Wang Haodong drove past an audio-visual products store, he stopped the car and went in to rent a few TV series DVDs. Zhang Qian didn't follow him, so he quietly asked the owner for some special films, planning to take them back and watch them slowly. Because Zhang Qian was also there, he was afraid she would see them, so he secretly hid them in a plastic bag, separate from the regular movies.

  "What movie did you rent?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile as Wang Haodong came out.

  TV series.

  Zhang Qian took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, Mei Ren Wu Lei! I've seen a few episodes on TV. My sister was afraid it would interfere with my studies, so she didn't let me watch it. I didn't expect the finale to be out already. I want to go home and take a look."

  "You're about to take the exam, don't read it now, wait until after the Gaokao is over. This way you won't be distracted from the exam, otherwise it will affect your studies and I'll be in trouble, your sister will definitely scold me."

  As he spoke, Wang Haodong returned the beautiful woman's tearless disc to the boss.

  Zhang Qian was obviously a bit angry, and when Wang Haodong came out, she complained: "Come on, I said I had confidence in it, why didn't you guys believe me?"

  "I believe you can do well on the exam." Wang Haodong hastily changed the subject to divert her anger, "How about this, Qianqian? I see you don't have a cell phone. If you can get into a key university, I'll buy you one, okay?"

  "Wow, that's great, let's just say that." Zhang Qian said excitedly, after a while, she sniffed her nose and said: "No way, Brother Haodong, although we live in the same house, but after all, we are not from the same family, I can't take the mobile phone, it's too valuable."

  "Look at you, something worth hundreds of yuan, and you're quibbling with me over it?"

  "That won't do either, anything over a hundred yuan and I have to think carefully before accepting it." Zhang Qian tilted her head in thought for a moment, then said: "Unless you're my brother-in-law, if you give me something like that, I can accept it with a clear conscience."

  "Ugh..." This is related again, Wang Haodong was convinced by Zhang Qian's thinking. "Let's talk about it when we get back, it's almost noon, let's go home."

  "Alright." Zhang Qian smiled and responded, riding her bicycle with Wang Haodong back to Liujiayuan Village.

  In the morning when going to the market, villagers from all directions rush towards the town. At noon when returning home, they then rush back to their homes in all directions.

  On the road, Wang Haodong saw many other villagers, most of whom were riding bicycles, some electric vehicles and motorcycles, and there were also many pedestrians.

  "Brother Wang, ride faster!" Zhang Qian pedaled quickly, overtaking Wang Haodong by more than 20 meters, and urged him on while looking back.

  "I'm coming after you." Wang Hao Dong also quickened his pace, but this damn road was bumpy and rough, making him feel miserable. He couldn't help but miss the smooth, wide roads of the city.

  Caught up with Zhang Qian, the two of them chatted and laughed together, time passed unknowingly, by twelve ten, they had already gone through two-thirds of the road, another ten minutes, they would almost be home.

  Liujiayuan Village is located in the west, with low and short mountain ranges nearby. The small hills are lush and green, looking vibrant and full of life. In May, the weather is cool and refreshing, with a gentle breeze blowing, and the wheat waves rolling along the roadside. The air is also filled with a sweet and fragrant scent of wheat. Combining the scenery on the small hills, it looks like a beautiful ink painting.

  Wang Haodong couldn't help but stop the car, take out his phone, open the camera app, and snap photos with a "click click click" sound. He also asked Zhang Qian to be his model, asking her to pose in beautiful postures, taking one beautiful photo after another.

  Knock knock knock.

  In the distance, the rumble of a tricycle engine could be heard. Wang Haodong turned his head to look and immediately furrowed his brow, because the car was full of young people, all in their early twenties, with eight in total, including Lin Kai, who had been walked by him that morning for provoking Zhang Qian.

  Wang Haodong put away his phone and, comparing the scissor-hand gesture made by Zhang Qian, said: "Qianqian, that male classmate of yours from the neighboring class is looking for me with some people to settle a score. You hide behind me and stay far away, I'll deal with them."

  Hearing this, Zhang Qian was startled.
