Chapter 40: Shopping in the City
Jiang Momo shook her head arrogantly and said, "Don't, my learning progress is too fast, and it's a waste of time to go!"
Uncle Yao was so angry that he almost slapped this girl on the head, thinking about what this girl said was right, according to her current learning speed, it was really a waste of time to go to the county, but high school was not as good as junior high school.
High school requires full-time study in order to take the final exam and get a graduation certificate.
Jiang Momo listened to her uncle's worries and said: "Then I will go to study for another year in the third year of high school, I will go directly to the exams in the previous two years, and then go to study for a year in the third year of high school, and wait for the graduation exam." ”
Third Uncle Yao thought for a while and said, "That's okay." ”
Third Uncle Yao is engaged in the education industry, and he also knows some teachers and principals, so it is still possible to spend some energy on this matter.
Qin Xiangming's leg was broken again, and after being connected again, he put on a plaster, and after twenty days in the hospital, he was discharged, but he was lame and couldn't go to work when he went back, so Qin Tian simply returned to the small village in the north.
It was to write materials and a letter of guarantee, so he asked Qin Xiangming for five months of leave, promising that he would return to the village in February of the following year.
That's not enough, the captain put on the donkey cart again, and took Qin Xiangming to the armed brigade in the township, fortunately, the armed team and the captain of the village are relatives, and they sent twenty catties of flour and five catties of bacon, and they did it.
With this proof, Qin Xiangming returned to Xilingzi Village with Qin Tian smoothly.
The two of them couldn't just come back, they had to go to the township with Jiang Dashan to file for the record, so they settled down.
By the time the father and son settled down, it was already mid-October.
After all the grain in the village was handed over, and the task pig was handed in, the team began to divide the food and money.
This year's total work is three cents and five cents, which is five cents higher than that of the surrounding villages.
This year, Jiang Erhe's family's work was more than 5,000 points, which was more than 1,750 yuan when calculated into money, but they also had to ask for food, so they got 200 catties of wheat, 150 catties of rice, 500 catties of corn kernels, 300 catties of sweet potatoes, 200 catties of potatoes, 50 catties of various beans, 25 catties of rapeseed oil, and the remaining money was 350 yuan.
There are more than 800 catties of staple fish that can be eaten, which looks like a lot, but in fact, it is not much for everyone.
Under normal circumstances, each person eats at least 30 catties of grain per month, a family of five, this is 150 catties, from November to June next year to harvest wheat, seven months to get 1,000 catties of grain, this is not enough, sweet potatoes and potatoes are not only vegetables, but also as a staple food to eat, otherwise it will not be able to last 6 months.
Father Jiang found a family with a lot of food, and spent 200 yuan to buy 400 catties of wheat and rice.
After the grain is distributed, it is time to cultivate the land to grow winter wheat.
The whole village was dispatched, and it took two whole weeks to do it, and it was all done in November.
After the last day's work, Jiang Momo took a bath and worked in the stove in a thin cotton jacket.
In the summer, Jiang Yaozu and the children in the village went to the river and picked a lot of lotus leaves.
The ranch of the buckle farm was opened, Jiang Momo raised twelve chickens one after another, and after laying dozens of rounds of eggs, the hens could be harvested.
I didn't expect this chicken to be a plucked and cleaned up chicken, one weighed eight catties, before Jiang Momo took out one and fried it, Yao Huazhi only thought it was Qin Tian, this time Jiang Momo took out two.
Both are marinated in spices and then wrapped in lotus leaves and put on a steamer.
After steaming for two hours, the yard was filled with the fragrance of chicken and lotus leaves.
After it was cooked, Jiang Momo put the lotus leaf steamed chicken in the basket, covered it with a blue cloth, and asked Jiang Yaozu to send it to Qin Tian.
This lunch, the second room of the Jiang family was conquered by the lotus leaf steamed chicken, especially Jiang Yaozu, who was small, after eating, he was in a daze at the clay pot full of chicken racks, and said after a long time: "It turns out that there are delicious things I haven't eaten!"
The childish words made the whole family laugh.
After the farm was over, the members who had money and food in their hands began to go shopping with their relatives.
The three of the Jiang family's second room got up early this day, Yao Niang heated the steamed buns, cut the pickles and radish shreds, cooked corn porridge, and finished eating early, so she got dressed and trotted to the entrance of the village with a basket.
There are already two donkey carts and two mule carts parked at the entrance of the village, which were notified three days ago, and the team sent a cart to send the big guy to the county to buy things.
Yao Huazhi plans to go to the county to buy fabrics, cotton, and shoes, Jiang Aiju hopes to go to the bookstore to buy a book on cutting clothes, Jiang Yaozu wants to buy some walnut crisp and candy, and Jiang Momo wants to buy some face oil.
Fortunately, they have been in business for half a year, not to mention saving some money, and getting a lot of tickets, Jiang Momo plans to buy a lot of them when they go today.
It's just that the ideal can never catch up with the reality, and the premise of buying big and buying is that there must also be.
Jiang Momo and the others still found Jiang Sikui, the fourth uncle, otherwise if they want to buy restricted cotton, don't think about buying some restricted brown sugar.
This time, Yao Huazhi brought Jiang Sikui a wild boar bacon, two catties of millet, and three catties of sweet potato vermicelli.
Jiang Sikui looked busy and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing, feeding the children, why did you bring it to me!"
Yao Huazhi said with a smile: "Your second brother got it, why don't I hurry up and order it for you and your younger siblings, you're welcome, it's all a family." ”
Jiang Sikui smiled honestly: "Yes, what my sister-in-law said is right, we are a family." ”
Today, Yao Huazhi bought eight catties of cotton, a roll of residual cloth, about seven or eight meters, which can make two or three sets of clothes, and pulled two meters of pure cotton yellow cloth for the two girls to make small clothes and underwear.
Two catties of brown sugar and two catties of rock sugar, Jiang Momo bought four more pieces of soap, four pieces of soap, three boxes of gala oil to wipe hands, three bottles of alabaster to wipe his face, six towels, five toothbrushes, and two tubes of toothpaste, a total of twelve yuan, and the angry Yao Huazhi stared.
Jiang Momo smiled and put things away, then glanced at a long elastic strap hanging on the container and asked, "What is this?"
The salesman knew that Jiang Momo's family was a relative of the deputy director of their supply and marketing cooperative, so he only smiled and said, "Menstrual belt!"
Do you bring an aunt's towel for menstruation?
Jiang Momo's mind spun around, and she fantasized about what it was like to hang this thing on her body, but Yao Huazhi felt that her face was burning red, and she was ashamed to death, why did this girl ask everything, did she want to make a face, and she was busy pulling Jiang Momo's arm and walked out.
