Chapter 278: Mooncake Strife
After watching the movie, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a week.
It just so happened that Gu Zhengqin had paid last month's salary, and he had spare money in hand, and the next day, Shen Hui made an appointment with sister-in-law Qi, sister-in-law Wang Aihonglin, and sister-in-law Wang to go to the city to buy things for the festival.
In addition to the three children they brought, a long line of people stood at the intersection waiting for the bus, there were too many people, and the position in front was not enough to sit, so only three children were allowed to sit, and the four of them sat in the open car at the back.
In addition to the three of them, there were already more than a dozen familiar looking women sitting in the carriage, who were from Xishui Village, and when they asked, they were also going to the city to buy things for the festival.
The car started, more than a dozen people all sat down cross-legged with their necks bent, Wang Aihong stood up and said excitedly that she wanted to try to see the scenery like this, but as soon as she finished speaking, the car accelerated, the wind was blowing, and it was all poured into her mouth, and she coughed for a long time before stopping, and Wang Aihong had to sit down depressed.
The iron baffle of the car is not high, almost half a meter, and can not block the wind from entering, fortunately, the weather is not cold or hot, the wind blows but is very comfortable, the only bad point is that the hair is very free once, the southeast and northwest direction came all over.
When she got on the road, there were trees on both sides, the wind was finally lighter, watching the cornfields on both sides pass quickly, which made people inexplicably a little sad, all the past in the world was in a hurry, she couldn't catch it, she couldn't keep it, only to move forward, and then she was relieved, fortunately, there was something called memory, although the sweet potato seedlings were still green next to her, but her mind could still clearly flash the overwhelming golden.
There are soldiers in almost every village, but the army is still a mysterious place for ordinary people, the identity of the military wife makes the women in the village envious and curious, and the gentleness of Shen Hui and others makes them ask what they think without scruples, are your men very vicious and often beat people? Do you only see your men twice a year? Are your men covered in wounds? Are your men very good at circumventing the wall?
Although most of the questions sounded unreliable, Sister-in-law Qi patiently explained to them, and the atmosphere was harmonious. The laughter didn't stop along the way, and Chen Qingquan and the three children in front of me were itching, why were they so happy?
Before he knew it, he arrived in the city, Chen Qingquan stopped the car, and the women thanked him repeatedly, and when they heard that Chen Qingquan was going back to the village early today, they were even happier, and they looked at one of the young women with a white and shy face, Shen Hui and others knew that this young woman was Chen Qingquan's daughter-in-law, no wonder people had to give up their work and come to pick up people early!
After getting along just now, the group was reluctant to part, but fortunately, they all came to buy things for the festival, which were nothing more than meat, eggs, fruits and moon cakes, and there was no need to separate.
However, it was too slow for a bunch of people to come together, and they split into three waves. Shen Hui and her sister-in-law went to buy moon cakes first.
Because of the advent of the Mid-Autumn Festival, almost all the places where the supply and marketing cooperatives sell biscuits and pastries have been replaced with moon cakes.
The mooncake ticket in Shen Hui's hand was issued by the army, and he could buy a pound of mooncakes, which was almost seven or eight yuan.
However, seeing the mooncakes with big characters printed on the counter, Shen Hui suddenly didn't want to buy them.
Seeing that she frowned slightly, looking at the moon cakes and not speaking, the salesperson was a little unhappy, and she didn't react after asking which one she wanted several times, but Sister-in-law Qi pulled her sleeve, "Shen Hui, ask you!" ”
Only then did Shen Hui come back to her senses and looked at the salesperson, "Give me a piece of each!" ”
The salesman pursed his lips, looking very well dressed, but he was also poor. There are three kinds of moon cakes in total, wrapped in oil paper, Shen Hui took it, and as soon as she touched the moon cakes, she was broken into several pieces, thinking that she wanted to eat them anyway, as long as it didn't break, she didn't mind.
Sister-in-law Qi also picked it out, and was taking out the mooncake ticket to buy it, but was stopped by Shen Hui, "Sister-in-law, don't buy it yet, my mooncake will be divided into half of Xiaolei when the time comes!" ”
Sister-in-law Qi smiled and glanced at her, "Then I and Dali also have to eat, once a year, it's not such a provincial law!" ”
Who knew that Shen Hui still pulled her and didn't let go, "Sister-in-law, you listen to me!" ”
Seeing that Shen Hui was mysterious, she knew that there were some things that were not good to say here, but out of trust, Sister-in-law Qi put away the moon cake ticket.
However, Shen Hui did not stop the others.
The salesman was also sharp-eyed, and when he saw that Shen Hui was not only stingy, but also ruined her business, he couldn't help but turn pale and said, "What's the matter with your comrade, you don't buy it yourself, and you don't let others buy it?" Are you saying bad things about our mooncakes there? ”
Before Shen Hui could speak, Sister-in-law Qi was unwilling, "She didn't say anything bad, she said that she and her man don't like to eat moon cakes, and they can't finish what they buy, so I don't have to spend money, my family is very poor, people are helping me, it's not what you think!" ”
The salesman rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Just three moon cakes!" What a poor ghost! ”
"Hey, how are you talking?" It's all together, and it's all from the countryside, no one likes this, Sister-in-law Wang immediately asked dissatisfied.
Who knew that the salesman was not afraid at all, held his head high, and glanced at a few people, "Whoever is reluctant to buy moon cakes will say whom!" ”
"You-" Sister-in-law Wang pointed at her nose angrily, not daring to scold.
You must know that you have a background to be able to enter the supply and marketing cooperative, who knows if it has anything to do with the Red Guards, and when the time comes, you will be unlucky.
"Forget it, sister-in-law Wang!" Sister-in-law Lin persuaded.
Shen Hui's eyes rolled, and he stepped forward with a look of grievance and resentment: "What's wrong with our poverty, we just can't afford to buy moon cakes, let's go, can't we buy them?" Buy it to whomever you like! ”
Hearing her words, several people who were angry turned around and were about to leave, and the people around who were about to buy moon cakes were a little hesitant when they saw this, after all, this is the one who sells moon cakes in the city.
And the salesperson was also dumbfounded, she was unlucky if the mooncakes couldn't be sold!
"Let me tell you, there is only one moon cake seller in the city, you should never come to buy it if you have the ability, see how you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival!" The salesperson's triumphant voice sounded extraordinarily underwhelming!
Shen Hui stopped, and Sister-in-law Qi thought she regretted it, and persuaded: "Don't go back, that person will definitely be ashamed of us!" If you don't eat the Mid-Autumn Festival, you won't eat it, and when the family was poor before, you wouldn't have the Mid-Autumn Festival without mooncakes! ”
This is to persuade Shen Hui, and it is also for others to hear, don't hold back!
Who knew that Shen Hui shook her head, looked at a few people and whispered: "Don't worry, I won't buy it, and don't buy it either, I guarantee that everyone will eat moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”
