Chapter 027: Buying Food
In her previous life, because of Han Yi's running goods, she also followed her to Lizigou.
Returning to the familiar place, Liu Xiaping felt that many places had not changed, the only thing that had changed was that the road into the ditch was no longer in cement, and now it was still the dry mud road, and if it rained, it would be very difficult to walk.
Lizigou is not deep, most of the villagers live on the side of the road along the way, because every household is almost related to each other, so the people in this ditch also know Du Aimin, look at him suddenly came back with a girl he had never seen, and there was a curious and enthusiastic person who asked.
"Who is this baby, Aimin, why did you bring the girl back?"
"That's it, Du Xiaosi, don't forget that your mother-in-law has given birth to three babies for you, you can't do anything sorry for others!"
"Li Niang, you misunderstood, this is a distant relative of my mother's family, and I came to find someone."
"How dare I mess with my mother-in-law, I just took my sister-in-law back to meet my relatives."
……
The greetings along the way made Du Aimin very speechless, fortunately, when he brought Liu Xiaping in before, he discussed how to hide it, otherwise if the mothers-in-law in the ditch knew about their family's secret sale of grain, they would not have to poke out the big basket.
Fortunately, although Liu Xiaping is one meter six or seven tall, because she has worked hard since she was a child and has been in a state of not having enough to eat for a long time, she is thin and looks like a child of a miserable family.
When the people in the ditch heard that it was Du Aimin's mother's house, they all made up their brains, and it was estimated that this girl would come to the Du family because she couldn't live at home, and they didn't know the virtues of those people in Du Aimin's mother's house.
Therefore, looking at Liu Xiaping's eyes, it also became weird.
Liu Xiaping was very calm about everyone's scrutiny.
Du Aimin's house was not in the depths of Lizigou, but quite close to the road, and after walking for about ten minutes, Liu Xiaping saw a mud house, and the dilapidated roof was wafting with patches of cooking smoke.
Du Aimin stuffed his head and brought the person directly into the house, but Liu Xiaping kept an eye on it, and did not follow into the house, but stood in the courtyard and watched Du Aimin enter the house, and he always maintained himself standing under the gaze of others.
Don't blame her for being too careful, although she had dealt with Du Aimin in her previous life, she knew that this person was honest and honest, but she had to guard against people, and she was not so big-hearted, so she entered their door with such a big grin.
Not long after Du Aimin entered the house, he came out, walked up to her, and asked quietly, "1,000 catties of grain, take it away in ten days, you take 100 catties today, right?" ”
Liu Xiaping hurriedly smiled and nodded, "Yes, my sister and I will come again tomorrow afternoon to get the rest of the grain." ”
Du Aimin's family stood at the door, observing her vigorously, and saw that she was still wearing patched clothes, her hands were very rough, and she was obviously a peasant baby, so she was a little relieved.
Liu Xiaping said, secretly took out a handful of gross tickets, counted twenty-two yuan and handed it to Du Aimin, "This is the money for today's grain, big brother, you can take it first." ”
Du Aimin was not polite to her, and seeing that there were no outsiders around, he hurriedly put it away, and then beckoned to the people standing in the room.
When Liu Xiaping followed him in, she was still carrying a big basket on her back, and a hundred catties of grain were quickly packed by the Du family, and then she was sent out of the ditch by Du Aimin.
For the countryman, a hundred catties of things is not particularly heavy, but Du Aimin saw that she was also a little struggling to carry it, so he borrowed the basket and helped her carry it, and he didn't talk to anyone else along the way.
It took more than forty minutes to go back and forth, the sun had already set, and it was almost dark before Liu Xiaping met with He Xiang.
He Xiang saw her come out safely, and she was also slightly relieved, and hurriedly walked over with a smile.
Liu Xiaping nodded to her, signaling that the matter had been done, and then Du Aimin spoke, "Tomorrow afternoon, when I come out to work, I will carry a hundred catties of food, and you can take it directly after you come tomorrow, and you don't have to follow me in." ”
If you take Liu Xiaping in and out of Lizigou every day, some people will definitely suspect that Du Aimin is not stupid, so he simply put forward such an idea.
Liu Xiaping and He Xiang were naturally happy to save some effort, but seeing that the sky was also dark, they hadn't found a place to live yet, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly divided half of the food and said goodbye to Du Aimin.
"You're too bold, what if you're left in the ditch by that person? There are too many abductors in this era! ”
It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the distance that He Xiang's heart slowly relaxed.
Liu Xiaping smiled, of course she wouldn't say that she had dealt with Du Aimin in her previous life, and she didn't dare to find it until this person didn't have any bad intentions, but said, "Seeking wealth in danger, it must be a bit risky, not to mention, isn't there still Sister He Xiang guarding outside, if you find something wrong, you can also go to the police." ”
He Xiang rolled her eyes, feeling that Liu Xiaping's courage was getting bigger and bigger, but she was also very happy to get the food, and she turned the basket on her back before she said, "But we haven't found a place to live yet, what are we going to do these days?" ”
Liu Xiaping thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you somewhere." ”
The reason why she came to Xicang County, as for where to live, she naturally thought about it a long time ago.
It's still a bit too troublesome to rent a house, but they don't have a letter of introduction when you stay in a hotel, so it's better to go to the train hole.
Of course, the train holes that Liu Xiaping is talking about are not the kind of holes that trains pass through, but those small caves that people used to dig not far away when they dug train tracks.
Of course, after the train cave was repaired, these small caves were abandoned, and no one went to those places on weekdays.
Liu Xiaping still has some impressions of Xicang County, following the vague memory, she soon found a few small caves, which are far from the county seat, and there are not many households around, although there are a lot of weeds or something, but you can live in it if you clean it up.
It's not that the two of them haven't suffered hardships, and it's common not to go back to the mountains all night before, so it's really not stressful to live in this kind of cave, He Xiang is also very excited, and hurriedly went to clean up the place where they can sleep.
By the way, burn the insects or something.
Fortunately, there are no poisonous snakes in this place in northern Sichuan, and there are not many wild grasses here, except for some small insects, no traces of snakes have been found.
The cave is very deep, Liu Xiaping and the others lit a fire inside, and the entrance of the cave outside was covered by a lot of rubble, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the fire inside.
When everything was almost cleaned up, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, spread cotton clothes on the ground, and rested temporarily.
