After eating and drinking, the two Xiaoru sisters and brothers were about to go back to the rental house, and Aunt Yang brought a can of oil and a small bag of rice as a gift for the Xiaoru sisters and brothers to move to a new house, and went to their residence with her two sisters and brothers.

Seeing that there was nothing in the house except two single plank beds, a table, a few chairs, and a few cardboard boxes, he asked, "There is nothing here, why are you cooking and selling?" No, I'll bring you firewood and some cooking utensils. After saying that, he put down the can of oil and a bag of rice and left.

After a while, Uncle Yang came with Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang carried a load of firewood, and Aunt Yang took a few pots and two buckets used to hold meals when Xiaoru sister and brother lived in her house, plus a few bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks, and said to Xiaoru: "Although these things are old but can be emergency, although I know that you have a lot of money in your hand, but the supply and marketing cooperatives need tickets for everything, and you can't buy anything without tickets, so you will use these things." ”

Xiao Ruzheng was worried about buying these things, just like Aunt Yang said, she couldn't buy anything back without tickets and money, so she didn't be polite to Aunt Yang, just said a few thank you and put those things together with Aunt Yang.

After putting the things away, Aunt Yang looked at the house a few more times: "It's not cold yet, you and Xiaojian sleep on the board bed is nothing, and you have to put a sheet on your stomach when you sleep at night for more than half a month, otherwise you are afraid that you will be cold and sick at night, and I will send you two quilts later, it is old, don't dislike it." ”

Xiao Ru hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No need, Aunt Yang, I have my own mattress and quilt, and I will go home to get it when it gets cold." ”

Seven or nine years ago, they ate a big pot of rice, and each family received very little cotton.

Although it has been several years since the reform and opening up, as long as the villagers are not lazy, they can harvest a lot of cotton every autumn, but most of the cotton is sold for money, so the bedding in the rural households is generally only enough for their own use, and there is no superfluity.

No small objects such as pots and pans, people can use a set for her.

If Aunt Yang gave her a set of bedding, they would lack a set of bedding at home, and Xiaoru would definitely not be able to ask for it anyway.

Aunt Yang asked her again and again if she really had a cover at home, and got a positive answer, and then said: "Since you have a cover, I won't send it, you must tell us what you lack, and we will find a way to help you get it." ”

Xiaoru nodded and said okay, there is still a sugar gourd at home, Aunt Yang and her husband didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they told Xiaoru a few words and left.

Although it is a county seat, there is no running water in the county town in the mid-80s, so Xiaoru went to the well outside to get two buckets of water according to the landlord's instructions and came back to keep it for washing and cooking tomorrow morning.

Without a bathtub, I can't take a bath today, so I'll buy a bathtub tomorrow and come back.

Xiaoru got up at dawn the next day, woke up Xiao Jian, and told him that she had gone to the mountain to collect firewood, and let him continue to sleep, don't be afraid.

Although Uncle Yang sent a large load of firewood yesterday, the firewood will burn out, and she can't always expect others to send firewood to her, so she has to go to the mountains to collect firewood by herself, and when she finishes collecting firewood, she will go to Aunt Yang's house to get back the greens and the river fresh that Uncle Yang caught for her.

There are a lot of weeds and reeds in the nearby mountains, and if you cut it with a sickle, you can quickly cut a large bundle of firewood, but if you pick it up, you can't pick it up much.

Picked up a bundle of firewood on his back, as small as looking at the sky, the sky is gloomy, I'm afraid there will be rain today, if it really rains, it won't be able to sell sugar gourds.

I went to Aunt Yang's house, took the green vegetables and two kinds of river fresh food she ordered yesterday, and originally wanted to buy some sweet potatoes from Aunt Yang to cook sweet potato porridge in the morning, but I was afraid that Aunt Yang would not open that mouth if she didn't collect money.

It was almost eight o'clock when I returned home, and Xiao Jian had already woken up, washed herself, and sat on the bed obediently waiting for her to come back.

Xiao Ru put down all the things and took Xiao Jian to the market for a spin.

The price of agricultural products in the market is really cheap, Xiaoru bargained with people, spent a dollar to buy eleven eggs, and spent three cents to buy fifteen catties of sweet potatoes, and then bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other condiments kitchen knives and cutting boards, and went to the blacksmith shop to buy a sickle, and finally went to the carpenter to buy a medium-sized bath tub, and by the way also bought two large wooden barrels, now she sells more food than before, and has to change to large wooden barrels to load.

After shopping, the two sisters and brothers returned with a full load.

When cooking sweet potato porridge in the morning, Xiao Ru boiled a boiled egg for Xiao Jian by the way, although he didn't eat breakfast until nine o'clock, but Xiao Jian smiled, because there were boiled eggs to eat.

The sky is getting more and more gloomy, looking like it is going to rain at any time, Xiao Ru quickly sucked a large bowl of sweet potato porridge, left Xiao Jian at home, and went to the well with the river fresh vegetables to be slaughtered and the green vegetables to be washed.

Although Xiaoru was nimble in her hands and feet, the rain that was only halfway the size of a bean crackled and fell, and it hurt a little on her thin back, but she could only endure it, busy alone by the empty well.

If this rain keeps falling, there will definitely be no way to sell sugar gourds today, so you can only make money by selling rice, otherwise you will have zero income today.

Suddenly, a piece of plastic was covered on her body, and Xiaoru turned her head and saw that Xiao saw that she was draped in a small plastic sheet, and another larger plastic sheet was draped over her body.

Xiao Ru's eyes were hot, but the work under his hands did not slow down at all: "Xiao Jian, where did you get this plastic sheet?" ”

Xiao Jian said in a milky voice: "I asked the landlord for it, and there is a big roll of plastic sheeting piled up at the door of her house." ”

Xiao Ru pulled the plastic sheet on his body, looked at the wet cloth shoes on Xiao Jian's feet, and said, "You hurry back and take off the cloth shoes, sit on the bed and play, and go back when your sister is done, don't stand in the rain, beware of rheumatism in the future." ”

Xiao Jian responded obediently: "That sister must come back quickly." ”

Hearing Xiaoru say yes, he went back step by step.

After washing the vegetables and river fresh, Xiaoru returned home, didn't care about changing the wet clothes, and went to the well with the rice to be washed, and brought back two buckets of water, so that he had time to change the wet clothes on his body.

…… But Xiao Jian was also in the room, and Xiao Ru asked him to turn his back.

Xiao Jian obediently did so, but asked puzzledly: "Sister, why did you let me turn my back to you?" ”

"My sister wants to change her clothes, and you little boy can't stare at his sister." Xiao Ru quickly took off her wet clothes and stared at Xiao Jian nervously, afraid that Xiao Jian would turn her head in curiosity for a while, and she would be embarrassed.

Xiao saw an "oh", and kept his back to Xiao Ru obediently, until Xiao Ru said that he could turn back, then he turned around and turned his face to Xiao Ru.

Xiao Ru threw the wet clothes he had changed into the bathtub, and now he didn't have time to wash them, so he would wash them when he came back from the business at noon.
