Chapter 31: Go to the county seat
After eating, Wormwood also carried the newly bought military satchel and walked to the entrance of the village with Ye Shoujun.
"This little oxcart is gone, right?"
"No, I specially asked Second Uncle Lin to wait for us."
"Oh~"
Wormwood is a little disappointed, she has just learned to ride a bicycle for a short time, and now is the most interested in bicycles, usually only on the farm to enjoy it, not enough to ride at all, has been looking for opportunities, can ride openly, especially want to be able to take out the bicycle to use, but unfortunately ......; I thought I could have a good time this time and ride to the township! The result was disappointing again.
Ye Shoujun looked at Wormwood's reaction and felt that something was not right, "What's wrong with you?" β
"It's nothing, I just want to take the car out and use it."
"Why don't I get someone to get a license?"
"Is that okay?" Wormwood was pleasantly surprised, and then thought that it was impossible, although Ye Wudad was a soldier when he was young, he had already retired from the army, and they were all farmers like the Ji family, and they had no way, so they should just want to make her happy and blurt out.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance!" Wormwood didn't demolish him either, after all, the heart is the most important thing!
She thought calmly for a while and said: "There are still two years of famine ahead, and it is really not the right time to buy large items at this time, I am afraid that those villagers will be hungry and have red eyes, and they will be in trouble if they look for trouble." Although with the current strength of her family, she is not afraid of them finding fault, but more is better than less.
"I'll talk about it later, second uncle, I'm in trouble!" Wormwood heard Ye Shoujun's voice, but it didn't pass her little head, and she instinctively looked up, and only then did she react - it had arrived.
There were already several village ...... sitting in the car
Wormwood followed the aunt, aunt, and sister-in-law to call, and sat on the ox cart with everyone, listening to them there, and you and I chatted nonsense - it was too noisy, but fortunately they only went to the village community.
After the two got off the ox cart, they went straight to the bus to the county seat.
Ye Shoujun took wormwood and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Do you want to buy anything?" Ji Lao Niang didn't say what to buy, and Wormwood was confused.
"Let's see." Ye Shoujun didn't know what was in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the small county town was often out of stock.
"Actually, don't we have everything we want? There's no need to waste it, right? "Wormwood really doesn't think it's necessary.
"This one is different, I can't buy it from you." Take it from her? What's going on, from one end to the other, white wolf with empty gloves? And got fame for nothing, and then said that he bought it? He didn't think he had such a big face.
Glancing at the things on the shelves and counters, Ye Shoujun took out all the tickets that were available.
"Which one do you like?" Ye Shoujun pointed to the watch on the counter and asked.
"I have!" Wormwood glanced at Ye Shoujun, didn't he know? Why waste this money?
"This is the first time I'm going to give you a gift, so I can't be sloppy."
Wormwood was speechless, forget it, there is no shortage of this money at home now, just buy it! The heart is the most important thing.
"Do you have a watch ticket?"
"Yes, don't worry!"
"How many?" If there is a surplus, buy two watches, one for each person.
"One." Ye Shoujun took a look at Wormwood Road, it is not easy to get a watch ticket, and one watch and one ticket are enough! Too much is also wasted.
Let's go! Then she has time to buy one for him on the farm, and the gift is still exchanged!
"Hello comrade, please take this out and show it to us, okay?"
When the saleswoman heard this, she looked at them, a female baby, a half-grown child, although the clothes did not have patches, but they were also half-old, no matter how you looked at it, they were all owners who had no money, so they ignored it.
"Comrade, do you hear that?" Wormwood thought she hadn't heard, and urged again.
Because Ye Shoujun was studying in the county seat, he understood the virtues of these salesmen, so he immediately took out the watch ticket separately and said to the saleswoman: "We have a ticket, you can take it!" β
The saleswoman was suspicious, stopped the sweater she was knitting, got up and took the watch ticket and looked at it - is there really one? I couldn't help but look at the two of them, and shook my head strangely, forget it, just have a ticket.
He took out the women's watch that Wormwood had taken a look at and handed it to them.
Wormwood didn't know their virtues, and boldly asked, "Can you try it?" β
"Nope." Luckily, this saleswoman has a good temper compared to the others; If you have a bad temper, you will probably start scolding when you hear Wormwood's idiot question.
Wormwood was not very disappointed, she asked casually, picked up her watch and gestured at it, and thought it was okay.
"Then this one!"
"Anything else?"
"Is there anything she can wear?" Ye Shoujun asked, pointing at wormwood.
The saleswoman looked back and forth between the two strangely, why did they all buy it for this girl? A fleeting thought, but it's none of her business, so she doesn't think much about it.
"You're in luck, there's a new Burlagi and leather shoes."
"What color? Can you take a look? "Or is the defender asking Wormwood is not very interested in thisβshe can't buy anything on the farm.
"Bragi has red floral and white saffron, and leather shoes are only black." The saleswoman brought Bragi over and opened it for them to see.
"You can't touch it!" Seeing Ye Shoujun's hand that he wanted to stretch out, he hurriedly shouted.
"Which do you prefer?" Ye Shoujun felt that it was better to decide with wormwood.
"It's red!" In fact, I don't like either, but Ye Shoujun clearly thinks that it will cost money today, and it is better to compare white with big red flowers or red flowers.
"A red bragi she can wear and a pair of leather shoes she can wear."
The saleswoman looked at Wormwood's feet and said, "The shoes are not her size, but Bragi has them." β
"Then Bragi, the leather shoes are gone." This time Wormwood took the lead.
"What more?"
"Six pounds of fruit candy, six boxes of cigarettes, and six bottles of canned peaches."
The saleswoman put things on the counter over and over again, saying over and over what she had taken.
"Six more bottles of liquor, do you want anything?" Ye Shoujun looked at the wormwood next to him and asked.
"There is no ticket for liquor, but it is limited, up to two bottles per person."
"Two bottles, then." Wormwood finalized that the lack would be replenished on the farm when the time came.
"Okay, what else do you want?" Facing the two teenagers and girls, the saleswoman asked negotiately.
"Alright, so be it!" Almost.
The saleswoman rummaged under the shelves and laid everything out for her.
After taking the watch tickets, cloth tickets, sugar tickets and canned tickets in Ye Shoujun's hand, he said, "It will be a total of 216 yuan and 3 cents." β
It's really cheap enough, when Wormwood wanted to pay for it, he saw that Ye Shoujun had already given the money and put the things into his shoulder bag (in fact, it had been moved to the Qiankun bag), and he put Braji into Wormwood's satchel.
"Thank you, comrade."
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Wormwood couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the money all here with me, where did you get the money?" "You can't start hiding your money right now, are you?
"It's all earned by me recently going into the mountains to hunt, and it's specially prepared for today." Ye Shoujun hurriedly explained.
Let's go! The reason for this is unassailable. The two of them didn't rush back, but really went shopping.
Walking to the door of the state-run hotel, the tempting smell of food wafted from inside, and seeing that the time was almost up, the two looked at each other for a moment, and they raised their feet and walked in.
There were only six long tables inside, and the three of them sat in the corner eating, and Wormwood looked at a small blackboard next to the window.
It says what dishes are served today, as well as the main dishes.
It's all home-cooked dishes and two kinds of meat dishes - plum cabbage button meat and braised hairtail fish, wormwood doesn't know the market, I don't feel it, but Ye Shoujun knows that they are lucky, don't look at it as a state-run restaurant, usually most of them are vegetarian dishes, even if there are meat dishes, when the quantity is limited, it is only prepared for those leading cadres.
Two meat dishes must be indispensable, there are all kinds of ingredients on the farm now, but now in the county, you can't find a park for a picnic, right? It's okay in summer, it's winter now, think about it, she really doesn't dare to understand, and it's not bad to feel the atmosphere of the hotel.
With the consent of Wormwood, the final decision was made......
"Comrade, bring me a piece of plum cabbage and pork, a portion of braised hairtail, and then a stir-fried cocoon, a sour and spicy shredded potato, and two bowls of rice." Ye Shoujun handed her the money ticket.
They don't have fish tickets, and the two meat dishes are counted as meat tickets, and they spent a total of three yuan and two cents and five cents, six taels of meat tickets and four taels of food stamps.
The cashier, after counting the bills and money, said to them, "Go and sit and wait, and call you." β
The two of them found a corner and sat down, chatting and waiting.
After a while, their meal was ready, and Wormwood stood up and prepared to serve it together......
"You sit, I'll do it alone."
"So many, are you done?" Wormwood looked at his hands suspiciously.
"Yes, there are large wooden pallets." Is he that stupid?
In this case, wormwood sat down again and no longer objected.
At this time, the portion of the dish is solid, each dish is filled with a small pot, and the rice is also served in a large bowl.
How did Wormwood know that there are so many bowls of rice, and a small bowl of dry rice is enough to eat dry rice at home......
"I can't eat so much, I'll give you half of the meal, okay?" If it really doesn't work, she will put it in a lunch box and take it home to eat, anyway, she has a lunch box.
"You eat first, and give me the rest."
But I've already eaten it! Looking at Ye Shoujun's natural appearance, Wormwood was embarrassed to say that sentence in the end.
After thinking about it, she used chopsticks to make a cut in the middle of the bowl and divided it into two parts, she only ate her own side, so that the other half was still clean, and she gave it to him, so she could rest assured.
She picked up the bowl and took a bite of rice, and then frowned, this rice is all broken rice, a little rotten, and there is no rice flavor.
I immediately ate a few bites of each dish and tasted the taste, but unfortunately there was only a little saltiness and no seasoning! How can such an unpalatable meal still be sold for money?
Looking at Ye Shoujun's normal eating speed, if she wasn't sure that her sense of taste was fine, she would have thought it was her own reason!
It's just that the food now is too precious, even if she doesn't lack food, she can't waste it, so she has to eat it slowly.
Ye Shoujun looked at the wormwood's expression like taking medicine, funny and distressed, reached out to take her rice bowl, glanced at her and said, "You take the lunch box out to eat, let me eat this." β
Wormwood understood what he meant, but ......
"That's not going to work." She really couldn't make him look at her food, and she swept around with her mental power, and found that no one was paying attention to them.
"Why don't we all eat the box, and you don't eat the rest, wrap it up and take it home to process it before eating?" He said softly, "No one is paying attention to our side." β
