502 War Years 5
No matter how good the conditions of Ma Laohan's family are, they are limited, and the family eats coarse grains every day, and the coarse grains he prepared for Lin Xiaoxiao are also coarse grains. A pot of steamed sweet potatoes, a pot of corn porridge that is so thin that it can't stand up to chopsticks, and a bowl of sauerkraut with rice.
The sauerkraut is fished out of the sauerkraut jar directly, and it is served without washing, which is absolutely the original flavor.
Lao Hei and Lao Zhang drank steaming corn porridge and said that they would compensate Lin Xiaoxiao for the same bracelet after the victory of the revolution.
"Okay, I'll wait for that day." Lin Xiaoxiao did not refuse. She wants everyone to believe that a bright future awaits them, but she is also afraid that the two of them will have a psychological burden, and she will be embarrassed to eat because she has exchanged her jewelry for food.
"Hopefully that day will come sooner." Lao Zhang swallowed the porridge in his mouth and sighed.
Lin Xiaoxiao's silver bracelet was not only exchanged for a meal, but also for the benefit of sleeping in the house at night, and the last time they slept in bed was at least half a year ago. Lin Xiaoxiao also misses the warm quilt, she has a tent and a sleeping bag, but every day she still takes the sky as the quilt and the ground as the same as Lao Hei.
She found two beautiful head ropes from the space, and asked Ma Laohan's daughter to help boil a big pot of hot water, and she wanted to take a good bath. Ma Laohan's daughter saw the beautiful headband in her hand, her eyes were straight, but it was just a matter of needing some firewood, and she didn't need Ma Laohan to speak, she dared to make the decision and agree, the big deal was that she would pick up more firewood tomorrow and come back.
After boiling a pot of water, Ma Laohan's daughter diligently asked her if it was enough, and if it was not enough, she could boil another pot. This girl has a lot of eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say how much water there was in a pot, so she took advantage of the loophole and only burned most of the pot.
Lin Xiaoxiao is not easy to calculate, she can only blame herself for not making it clear in advance, this little water bath is a bit reluctant.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't really use this water to take a bath, she was just a cover, and the place where she really bathed was the space, so she smiled and refused Miss Ma's kindness.
Miss Ma regretfully helped Lin Xiaoxiao carry the water into the house, and she also wanted to see if Lin Xiaoxiao had any other good things in her hand. She earned two beautiful headbands with a pot of water, and such an opportunity was hard to come by.
Lin Xiaoxiao rested in the village for the night, and only went to the county seat after breakfast the next day, there were no good things in the village, and they had to go to the county seat if they wanted supplies.
Miss Ma knew that Lin Xiaoxiao was leaving, so she regretfully sent them to the entrance of the village, and when she said goodbye, she quietly said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Sister, you are so beautiful, I also want to cut your hair like this, but my father will definitely not agree." ”
"The schoolgirls in the city have hair like this, you can't do it now, and you will definitely have it in the future." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the girl's eager eyes, and she was soft-hearted and almost gave away her own hairpin, but she stopped it because Chen Bin stopped her in time.
Chen Bin waited until he was far away from the village before reminding her: "Don't look at everyone who is pitiful, we have eaten the last meal now and have not eaten the next meal, which is more pitiful than that girl." ”
"I know, I didn't get used to it for a while." Lin Xiaoxiao is talking about the period from a wealthy society to a war-torn era, and the old black and the old black both think that Lin Xiaoxiao is referring to the life of the rich daughter in the past.
The situation in the county town is much better than in the village, but in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, it is still dilapidated and old, and he can't find a decent inn to settle in. Chen Bin searched for a long time to find a clean inn, Lin Xiaoxiao was not satisfied and was not picky, he could sleep on the grass, and now he could sleep in the house, what was there to be squeamish.
At least in Lao Zhang's opinion, Lin Xiaoxiao was a little ignorant, she didn't complain when she slept on the grass, how to sleep in the inn is still something. Lin Xiaoxiao actually can't get over the hurdle in her heart, no one else has slept in the grassland environment, but who knows how many people have slept in this inn, this is another era that can't be disinfected, who knows how many bacteria there are on the bed.
Found a place to stay, Lin Xiaoxiao was about to go out to exchange money, she had gold in her hand, but there was no currency in circulation now, who knew that she would be thrown into this era. She had to know that there would be a lot of medicines in stock, and at least she would have to move the warehouse of a pharmacy.
Chen Bin and Lin Xiaoxiao went out together, Lao Hei and Lao Zhang stayed to rest, their health was worse after all. The two of them consciously stayed to avoid suspicion, they were afraid that the things in Lin Xiaoxiao's hands would not be good, so they would shoot in front of them.
There are also very few jewelry shops in the county, only two hometowns, and the business is not very good. Lin Xiaoxiao walked around the pawnshop and inquired about the market before taking the jewelry to the jewelry shop.
The shopkeeper was very interested in the jewelry in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, not for the gold, but for the freshness of the style, and felt that this was a style that the county had never seen.
Lin Xiaoxiao seized this point and bargained with the boss, and after some back and forth, she sold the ring for a fairly good price.
Chen Bin can only watch the excitement on the side, he doesn't know how to interject, this is not his strong point.
After Lin Xiaoxiao got the money, she went to purchase with Chen Bin. After the two of them finished buying food, they went to the pharmacy to buy some Chinese patent medicines, and in the absence of Western medicine, Chinese medicine pills are always a little stronger than nothing. With food and medicine, the two of them purchased some daily necessities before returning to the inn.
Lao Hei and Lao Zhang were waiting for them in the room in the inn, and the two of them were worried about Lin Xiaoxiao's safety, even if they had changed their clothes, they were wearing the most ordinary clothes worn by the local villagers, Lin Xiaoxiao and Chen Bin's temperament was not something that clothes could cover.
No matter how ordinary the two of them are, you can see the difference by looking at their eyes, such people are easily arrested by the officers and soldiers of the county town, who let their revolutionary party is now the target of hunting and killing.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Chen Bin are not worried about being hunted down, they are not like village Han village aunts, but both of them have the ability to protect themselves, and they don't know who will suffer if they really encounter the enemy, especially the officers and soldiers in this small county town, they are all soldiers who eat mixed rice, and they bully timid villagers if they don't have real skills.
"Wait a minute, I'll go buy some buns." Chen Bin stood in front of the bun shop and said. The inn also includes meals, but the taste is average, and the price is a little expensive. Most people are willing to take a few more steps out to eat, only those who are too lazy to go out will eat in the inn, and they can also let the shopkeeper send them into the room, and they can eat in their mouths without even going out of the house.
"I want beef buns and vermicelli buns." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the signboard of the bun shop and chose the variety.
"I'm sorry, girl, we don't have beef buns right now, and beef is not easy to buy right now." The proprietress explained while collecting the money.
"Whatever!" Lin Xiaoxiao persuaded Chen Bin to buy a few at will, she could eat anything.
When the proprietress heard that Chen Bin was buying thirty big buns at one time, her already small eyes turned into a slit with a smile, which was a big business. With such a big customer to take care of the business every day, she can also close her business earlier.
