Chapter 218: Tao Tao Tao

When I came out, I saw someone coming in to buy stamps and send letters, and suddenly remembered that the photos had not been sent yet, and I almost forgot about the business again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info quickly bought an envelope, put the photo in it, thought about it and wrote a line on the back of the photo: Everything is fine, don't worry!

The envelope was stuffed into the mailbox, and Ying Fang breathed a sigh of relief, which could be regarded as the completion of the task he had assigned.

Out of the post office, turn around to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy iron locks, passing by the purchase station, see the cashier standing at the door talking to people, see her, obviously recognize her, greeted her with a smile: "Girl, why do you have time to come to the city today? Why don't you sit with me?"

The person chatting with the uncle asked curiously, "Which girl is this?"

The uncle was happy: "This is my daughter in the countryside." ”

Yingfang: "......"

Only then did the man hear that the uncle was joking, so he laughed and scolded "old and endless", raised his hand and left first.

Ying Fang was enthusiastically dragged into the house by the uncle, took a sip of hot water, and replied: "Isn't it a rice cannon in the park, bring a few children from the village together, this year's harvest is good, every household has surplus grain, and the New Year is still quite loose, blow up some rice cannons and go back to make sugar wraps." By the way, buy a lock and go back to ......."

"You said that kind of hanging iron lock? How can you go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy it, how expensive the new lock is, and a lot of industrial coupons, anyway, it is almost the same, we have the old one here, if you want it, I will let the guy find it." ”

Ying Fang's eyes lit up. That's right, the lock is a thing, as long as it can be used, the old and the new are not really particular. What's more, it is hung on the gate of the courtyard, exposed to the wind and sun, even if it is a brand new one, it will rust after a long time. Without saying a word, nod.

The cashier asked the guy to take out the few old locks that he had received and let Yingfang pick them by herself.

Ying Fang asked the price, and saw that as long as there was less than half of the new lock, she simply bought three, large, medium and small.

After buying the lock, the cashier glanced at the door, saw that no one was coming in and out, pointed to a small door in the corner, lowered his voice and said to Yingfang: "The house is piled up with red soldiers who raided the house, and the Revolutionary Committee dislikes it. No, I can still put some water in one or two pieces......"

Ying Fang thanked the uncle, carried an oil lamp, and went into the house. I found some foreign books and paintings. Come to think of it, it is the home of those intellectuals who have stayed abroad and are fond of foreign literature.

The oil paintings are okay, there are a few that you can know what they are painting at a glance, such as sunflowers, vases, ...... A few of them are a bit abstract, but they are so colorful that they are always pleasing to the eye. But those books in pure foreign languages stumped her, and when she flipped through them, she didn't know a word, it was like reading a book from heaven.

In the end, Yingfang picked two large books in half Chinese and half foreign languages, and two paintings—sunflowers that could be stuffed into bamboo baskets when erected and flower arrangements that were half smaller than sunflowers. After all, it's not so easy to pick out a pile of paintings that are either broken or stained.

The cashier didn't know if he had consulted his superiors, but the price he gave her was quite cheap, as if he wished she could take it so that the room could be vacated.

Ying Fang habitually bought a five-cent big-character poster, spread it on top of the pile of things, and then tied the hemp rope tightly so that the newspaper would not fall down.

Now the task of the county town has been successfully completed, oh, and the rice cannon has not exploded.

Just as he was about to go back to the park to fry rice cannons, a female comrade pushing a bicycle came up, and when she saw her, she beckoned to her happily: "Isn't this Xiaoshu?

Ying Fang looked at it, it turned out to be Sister Lu from the train station, and she also greeted her with a smile: "Sister, is this going to work?"

"It's a little late to get to work. Sister Lu smiled heartily, "I'm taking a break today, so I didn't sleep for a while, and I came out to buy vegetables at this point." By the way, after the last incident, the old man of the Zhao family in Yuncheng called in person and thanked you by name, the stationmaster wanted to go to your commune to talk about this, but he was stumped by something, and it was a coincidence today, why don't I accompany you to sit with the stationmaster?"

"I'm afraid not right now. First, they are waiting for Meiqin, and secondly, the bamboo basket on her shoulder is inconvenient to unload, what if someone touches the cloth? Is the stationmaster here the day after tomorrow?"

"There are a lot of things going on in the station during this time of the year, how can he not be there. Then it's up to you. Sister Lu said with a smile.

Yingfang made an appointment the day after tomorrow.

The stationmaster of the railway station has something to find her, so it is not difficult to go to the secretary for a half-day assumption.

Saying goodbye to Sister Lu, Yingfang carried the bamboo basket on her back and went straight to the park.

Feng Meiqin led the children and was waiting for her anxiously.

Seeing her, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas, Yingfang, you're finally back, if you don't come again, I'm going to look for you. ”

"Have all the rice cannons been blown up?" Ying Fang asked in surprise when she saw the bulging snakeskin bag at their feet.

Feng Meiqin raised her chin in a daze: "That's it! We came the earliest, as soon as the rice cannon master arrived, he lined up, and the first shot was only a few minutes, but I waited for you for a long time!"

Ying Fang said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so fast. To express my sincere apologies, I invite you to come down to the restaurant! The peach blossom noodles in the restaurant are delicious. "There are a lot of food stamps in the purse, and there is a lot of food at home, and a bowl of peach blossom noodles is a little expensive, but it is not painful.

"I'm going to add a piece of shame!" Feng Meiqin took advantage of the fire to rob, adding peach blossom noodles and cheeks, and drooling just thinking about it.

"Cheng!" Ying Fang smiled and nodded.

"It's just that there are so many of us, one bowl per person, won't it be too expensive? After Feng Meiqin was happy, she counted the price of eight bowls of peach blossom noodles with her fingers, and couldn't help but regret that she had invited Yingfang.

The children also looked at Yingfang with a blank look.

Li Cangzhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took the lead in saying, "Aunt Fang, I still have morning cakes here, just eat them when you're hungry, you don't need to buy them for me." ”

The two big children blushed and spoke: "I, we are actually not hungry......"

Ying Fang smiled and touched Cangzhu's head and said to them, "I can still afford to invite it this time." What's more, you have helped me a lot in the past few months, so I should take it as a thank you gift, and I can't help but accept it. ”

As soon as Yingfang heard that Yingfang was really going to invite them down to the restaurant, the children blushed and screamed excitedly.

Tsuzi noodles, and peach blossom noodles, this is a delicacy that can only be eaten in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Two large and eight villains, each carrying a snakeskin bag on their shoulders, marched towards the hotel with high spirits.

Fortunately, the bag is lightweight, and the rice cannon can fry a big bag with three catties of rice.

Qingling rested the rice cannon bag horizontally on the bamboo basket, just enough to cover the contents of the basket.
