When Yi Hongjun went home at noon, he simply changed his clothes, and just sat on the chair in the hall to prepare for dinner, he heard his mother say: "Red Army, you don't have to go to the field in the afternoon, you take Yiyi to the town to play." ”

"Okay, I got it!" Yi Hongjun happily agreed, even if his mother didn't say it, he would mention it.

After Liu Xiaohua finished speaking, she handed the money and tickets prepared in advance to Yi Hongjun, asked him to pay attention to collect them, and when he arrived in the town, he looked at buying something for Yiyi.

After lunch, Yi Hongjun did not rush to take Yiyi to the town, but asked Yiyi to take a nap first, and then go out when the sun was not so poisonous, otherwise it would be easy to suffer from heat stroke.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Yi Hongjun woke Yiyi up and prepared to take her out. Before going out, put on a small hat specially made for her at home to prevent heat stroke.

Their village was not far from the town, and they arrived in the town an hour and a half later. On the way here, Yi Hongjun walked with Yiyi in his arms, no one walked by himself, Yi Hongjun was afraid that Yiyi was still young and walked too far.

"Yiyi, you'll be on your own in a moment. Daddy will take you to buy delicious sugar candy. With that, Yi Hongjun put Yiyi down, and then took her little hand and walked. Considering Yiyi's short legs, Yi Hongjun did not walk very fast, but moved forward according to Yiyi's pace, and from a distance, it was more like Yiyi was holding Yi Hongjun walking.

Yiyi also has the opportunity to observe the environment of the town. Because this is only a town, there are now two state-run stores in the town, one is a state-run restaurant and the other is a supply and marketing cooperative. There are not many pedestrians on the road, and most of them are still working in the factory in the afternoon, and most of the people walking on the street are elderly and children.

Walking and walking, Yi Hongjun led Yiyi and finally stopped at the gate of the town's supply and marketing cooperative. Yiyi stretched out her head to look at the small storefront in front of them, there were not many kinds of things sold in it. Cloths, sweets, and grains are arranged by area.

At this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives were crowded with people inside and out, and they were scrambling to shout to the salesmen what they wanted to buy, as if they were earning what they bought. She saw an aunt hand the money and tickets to the salesperson, and then quickly pointed to a red cloth in the corner, and when she got the cloth, her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and then she left quickly without looking back.

Yiyi observed for a while and found that all they bought were fabrics, and there were several colors. Then I heard a woman about thirty years old who had bought the cloth say to the woman who came with her who looked younger: "Sister Wang, I just took a closer look at the cloth, although it is said to be a defective cloth, but the color and quality are quite good, although in some places the color may be dyed or fainted, but the impact is not great." I really hope that the defective cloth that the supply and marketing cooperatives get in the future can be like this time. ”

"yes, yes, we'll come early next time. I just saw a red one! It's a pity that it was bought by the people who were ahead of us. ”

"Red! I didn't see it, next time we'll come an hour early to have a look, and we'll go out after lunch. ”

Yiyi watched them walk away as she spoke, and understood that this was because the supply and marketing cooperatives had cheap defective cloth for sale, so so many people rushed to buy it.

Because the productivity of this era is not high, if you buy normal cloth, it costs a lot of money, so many people generally sew and mend for three years and will not buy new cloth to make clothes. But the defective cloth is different, often just a little poor quality, bad dyeing or not stored well and mildew spots. The price of defective cloth will be much cheaper than normal cloth.

After the defective cloth put out by the supply and marketing cooperatives was sold out and the number of people became fewer, Yi Hongjun led Yiyi to the counter where the candy was placed.

He spent five cents to buy a few candies for Yiyi, took out one of the candies and stuffed it into Yiyi's mouth, and the rest of the candy was wrapped by him and handed to Yiyi for her to put it away. Then he went to buy brown sugar, kerosene, and a box of hala oil that his mother had confessed.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Yi Hongjun went to the state-run restaurant to buy a meat bun for Yiyi.

Yiyi looked at the big meat bun in her hand, and decisively broke it into two petals, one large and one small, and gave the big one to her father.

They have just been delayed for a while in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it will not be too early. It was half dark when he walked home, and besides, his father would definitely not agree to let her go by herself, and he would hold her again. Although she is not fat, she also weighs more than 20 catties and nearly 30 catties, and it is uncomfortable to walk for an hour and a half without eating anything to fill her stomach.

On the way back, there was no change as when they came, Yi Hongjun walked slowly with Yiyi in his arms, and Yiyi was as quiet as when he came.

At this time, the journey back to the village was only halfway through, when Yi Hongjun heard Yiyi suddenly say that he saw a little rabbit and struggled to let her go.

"Dad, put me down, hurry up! I saw a little bunny! Yiyi kept struggling to go on.

"Okay, okay." Although he didn't see any rabbits, he had to put Yiyi down first, lest she struggle to accidentally fall into her hands again.

As soon as Yi Hongjun put Yiyi down, she ran towards a place with a swoop. This was something that Yi Hongjun didn't expect, he was stunned for a moment and then quickly caught up with Yiyi.

As soon as Yiyi's feet touched the ground, she immediately ran towards a place she had observed on the road when she came today. It is a banyan tree that is obviously much older than the other trees around, and it has a sense of history at first glance.

Before her father could react, she made a hole in a place next to the banyan tree, and then put a nest of rabbits into the hole along with the two, three, and five gold bars she had prepared wrapped in layers of cloth.

When her father caught up with her and followed her to the banyan tree, she controlled a rabbit to jump out of the hole. She pretended to be surprised and pounced on the little rabbit and said to Yi Hongjun: "Daddy, rabbit! ”

Yi Hongjun also saw the little rabbit, and at the same time looked at the hole where the little rabbit jumped out.

When he saw that his daughter had successfully caught that little rabbit, he motioned for her to keep quiet, and he felt that there must be more than one little rabbit in the hole, and there must be more, maybe there was a litter. Because the little rabbit caught by Yiyi is obviously not big, it looks like it has just been born.

Adult rabbits can be eaten directly, and small rabbits are all meat after a period of time. The more Yi Hongjun thought about it, the more excited he became, now they had just had a little surplus of food, and this meat could only wait until the festival to be willing to cut some and beat the tooth sacrifice. The meat bun he bought for Yiyi today cost him the private money he had saved for a long time, but it was indeed fragrant.

Yiyi was very cooperative when she saw her father take a look at the rabbit hole and signal her not to make a sound. Because all she wanted was for her father to notice the hole, and the little bag of gold bars in the hole was the key, and the rabbit was just a bait.

Yi Hongjun looked around, but he didn't have any suitable tools, so he had to empty the back basket on his back and put things aside. He plucked some tough grass, then slowly crouched down and quickly grabbed into the hole. Sure enough, he caught a few rabbits, two big and three small were stupid, and they didn't run away when they caught them.

Of course, normal rabbits are not stupid enough to be caught and not run, but their luck is not good, and they are directly controlled by Yiyi and can't run.

After Yi Hongjun put away the rabbits, he touched a bag of things in the hole when he hugged and saw if there were any rabbits missing. When he took it out and looked at it, he found that it was a small package, which looked like it had been wrapped in many layers of cloth.

He couldn't hold back his curiosity and decided to unravel it right now to see what was inside. He cautiously looked around and found that he didn't see anyone, so he was relieved.

That's right, he had just spent some time catching these rabbits, and it was already getting dark, and everyone should be resting at home. When he untied the cloth layer by layer, he saw five gold bars wrapped!
