Chapter 690: Earned Money For Babies
These young travelers usually roasted fish directly in the camp after fishing. Therefore, in the countryside, fish was very popular with these travelers.
The fish caught were sold by weight. Bullhead and grass carp were four yuan per jin and crucian carp five yuan per jin. Although the price was half that of those sold in cities, it was indeed very high in this remote village.
Besides, if the villagers bought fish, the price would be half.
In this remote area, it was very difficult to make money. The annual income of many families was less than 10,000 yuan.
He Xiyan moved all the chopped chili peppers she had made onto the table in the hall, which were still inedible till several days later.
She felt that she could not always live off Chen Jiahang. After all, it was not easy for him, a mute, who was a little silly as well. She even felt guilty and embarrassed when he bought clothes and life necessities for her.
Steady footsteps came from outside the door.
He Xiyan turned around and saw him come in.
He had just finished his farm work, sweat coming out on his forehead like beans.
However, there was always a smile hanging around the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he always wore a smile back home. No one knew what it was that made him so happy every day.
Chen Jiahang came over and looked at her with a smile. But when he saw the dozens of bottles of chili peppers in front of her, he frowned immediately and looked somewhat tense.
He seemed to be reminded of something, then quickly took her hands and examined them carefully.
He Xiyan grinned, knowing that he should be concerned about whether she was burnt by the chili peppers. Last time she made twenty bottles, her hands were burnt painfully all day long. So this time she paid special attention and cut the peppers with gloves on.
“It’s all right.” She shook her head at him and said, “It didn’t burn my hands this time.”
After that, she quickly pulled back her hands held by him.
Although they had been living together for more than two months, she was still not used to his getting close from time to time.
Chen Jiahang nodded vigorously, smiling happily upon seeing her fine. He then put his hand into his trousers pocket and took out some money out.
He counted them, forty-six yuan in total.
He handed all the money to He Xiyan as if offering some treasure.
He Xiyan looked at him in some surprise, her eyes full of doubts. This was the first time he had handed her money. She didn’t understand what he meant.
“Do you want me to keep it for you?” She asked, but did not take the money.
Smiling, Chen Jiahang stuffed the money directly into her hand. Then he went to the table, took out the paper and pen, and happily wrote on the paper:
“Someone came fishing today. The fish was just sold and here’s the money. You take it and I will give it to you in the future as well.”
When he finished, he hurriedly showed it to her.
He Xiyan looked at the neat handwriting on it and saw him happy like a child.
She could not help laughing out, but did feel that he was sometimes very cute.
“Well, I’ll keep the money for you. I won’t use it.” She promised, thinking that he, with an IQ that of a child, would probably be cheated out of money by others.
Chen Jiahang picked up his pen again and wrote excitedly on it:
“Yanyan, I will make more money, then we will have money for our baby.”
(He Xiyan)…
Seeing these words, He Xiyan felt shocked as if her head was knocked hard by someone.
Unexpectedly, he should be thinking about having a baby. She had promised him that she would not run away, but he still remembered that.
She was also to blame. Last time, she told him that at least 30,000 yuan should be prepared for having a baby in the big hospital downtown. Otherwise, there would be life risks for her if there was dystocia or any emergency.
