Chapter 16 We Can Be Good Friends
Before Grandma Lou arrived home, she had already heard the reason, and before she got home, she was stuffed with a piece of sugar-stained oil residue in her mouth, full of meaty aroma, there was not much sugar at home, Lou Yanni only mixed a little bit, just a sweet taste.
"Grandma, I'll take the oil, and I'll return the money and tickets they left at noon when the time comes." Lou Yanni put the oil in the big iron pot into the crockpot, the oil is more important than the money ticket, after all, the oil may not be able to be bought if you have money and a ticket.
Lou Yanni has always been in charge of these family affairs at home, and seeing that she had an idea, Grandma Lou didn't say anything more, only sighed slightly and entered the house.
She has lived most of her life, and she can't see that this money, this ticket and this oil are all for her two granddaughters.
After the home visit, Lou Jingping finished all the heavy work at home, simply cleaned up, and went to work on the river embankment.
He had done his best, and now he was just waiting for the notice, but before that, he still wanted to do more work, earn as much work as he could before leaving, and if he was chosen, he would not have to delay his work.
Lou Yanni didn't expect Xing Xiaojuan to come to her, and asked her to accompany her to buy wedding supplies, you must know that Xing Xiaojuan has been in their village for a year, and they just said a few words when they were in the drying field two days ago, and there was no other dealing.
"Yanni, can I ask you to accompany me to the supply and marketing cooperative? Help me be a counselor. Xing Xiaojuan looked at Lou Yanni with big eyes and watery eyes, her attitude was very sincere, it was such a happy event, Lou Yanni really couldn't refuse.
Since the rebirth, Xing Xiaojuan has paid a lot of attention to the Lou family, and naturally found out about Lou Jingping going to the army, obviously in the previous life, Lou Jing was safe and self-serving at home farming, and then disappeared, life and death are unknown, why did he suddenly go to the army?
After inquiring deeper, I learned that the conscription and mobilization of the Lou family was done by Zuo Weiguo.
Xing Xiaojuan doesn't remember whether the conscription and mobilization of various towns and villages in her previous life was Zuo Weiguo, but she had a thorn in her heart, and she couldn't hear Zuo Weiguo and his name being put together with Lou Yanni, even if it was Lou's family.
After hearing the news, I couldn't bear it, so I immediately went to the door by buying wedding supplies.
Xing Xiaojuan didn't come empty-handed, she was holding a half-used Xinhua dictionary in her hand.
Lou Yanni has always wanted to buy a Xinhua dictionary, but the family's money is always not enough, and last year she finally saved enough money, and the bookstore in the county town did not have the goods.
"I'm about to get married, it's useless to keep this book in my hand, aren't your Yanqiu and Junlin in junior high school? I think they should need it. ”
Reactive power is not accepted, where is Lou Yanni embarrassed to accept Xing Xiaojuan's things, the two pushed left and right, and finally said that they would lend this dictionary to the Lou family for a period of time, not to give it, but to borrow it.
As for going to the supply and marketing cooperative, anyway, the recent farm slack, that is, a trip, Lou Yanni accompanied Xing Xiaojuan to go together.
The supply and marketing cooperatives in the town are three gates and one storefront, and there are several large vats side by side on the right hand side of the door, usually the wine and vinegar are here, and the middle of the three-sided counter is the place to buy cloth and tea bottles and basins.
There are also half-arm-high glass jars on the glass counter, which contain snacks such as candy and salt and ginger slices, and you can buy ten diamond-shaped mints for a dime, which are sticky because they have been left for too long, the kind of candy with a beautiful sugar coating, which the town's supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell, and they have to go to the county.
"Comrade, bring me two tea bottles and two enamel basins." Xing Xiaojuan went straight to the counter in the middle when she entered the door, and while talking, she handed the certificate issued by the production team to the salesperson.
The things of the supply and marketing cooperative, it's not that you can buy it if you have a ticket and money, things like tea bottles are in limited supply, except for happy events such as marriage, you can generally only buy one, but even if the average family is married, they can only buy one, like Xing Xiaojuan, everything has to be bought in pairs, or less.
In the supply and marketing cooperative, Xing Xiaojuan doesn't need Lou Yanni at all, what she wants to buy, what things are good, what things are not going to the county seat to buy the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town, she knows it in her heart.
Lou Yanni didn't think to express any opinions, she stood quietly beside Xing Xiaojuan, she felt that she was here to bring things to the other party today, but she was a little embarrassed by Xing Xiaojuan's generosity in her heart.
Now it is popular to wear military uniforms when getting married, and there is no other cloth in the supply and marketing cooperatives, which is the most labor cloth, although Xing Xiaojuan yearns to be able to wear white yarn to marry Zuo Weiguo, but thinking about the current era, she still honestly pulls the green labor cloth of the army and prepares to make a military uniform.
According to the custom of Loujiawan, the clothes that the man wore for his wedding that day were also prepared by the woman, and Xing Xiaojuan also pulled a cloth for him according to Zuo Weiguo's size.
The wedding candy is also to be bought, Xing Xiaojuan has the sugar ticket given to her by Yang Xiufen in her pocket, but she thinks that the sugar from the supply and marketing cooperatives is not good, and she is going to go to the county seat to buy it.
"It would be nice if there was a real good, and I could also make a shirt for Weiguo." After buying the things, Xing Xiaojuan pouted, expressing her helplessness at the lack of supplies in the supply and marketing cooperatives, she turned her face to look at Lou Yanni, "I think Weiguo looks best in a shirt, Yanni, do you say it." ”
This question was a little embarrassing, Lou Yanni smiled at her, answered perfunctorily, and took the initiative to lift the tea bottle on the counter and walked back.
Along the way, Xing Xiaojuan was talking about her and Zuo Weiguo, and Lou Yanni listened to the story with great interest.
She was originally like the people in the village, and she thought that Xing Xiaojuan married Zuo Weiguo to escape the heavy labor, but after going all the way, she felt that Xing Zhiqing should like Zuo Weiguo before agreeing to get married.
sent Xing Xiaojuan to the educated youth point, Lou Yanni thought it was over, but she didn't expect Xing Xiaojuan to stop her, took out a handkerchief from the house, and said it was a thank you gift for her.
Thanks for what? Lou Yanni was a little confused, she didn't do anything.
Probably the same thing in the cornfield last time, Lou Yanni thought about it, pushed the handkerchief back, made a sealing motion, and lowered her voice, "I don't want this handkerchief, Xing Zhiqing, you and Officer Zuo can rest assured, I won't tell you about the things in the cornfield that day." ”
So don't be upset about this, you two come to her against your will to make friends, and try to find excuses to send her things.
Thinking of the hush money sent by Zuo Weiguo, and the intention of deliberately persuading herself to let her eldest brother become a soldier, Lou Yanni felt a little embarrassed, she was really not the kind of person who used chicken feathers as arrows, and she didn't want to use this kind of thing to blackmail benefits.
Xing Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, but it took a while to figure out what Lou Yanni was talking about, and then she burst into a very bright and sincere smile.
Truly! She patronized the memories of her previous life and forgot that there was such an incident before she was reborn, so she heard that Zuo Weiguo went to Lou's house for conscription and mobilization, it should be because of this incident.
She's really!
"I'm sorry, it's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Xing Xiaojuan took Lou Yanni's hand, smiled sweetly, looked at the handkerchief in her hand, and then looked at the clear rejection in Lou Yanni's eyes, and put the handkerchief away with a smile.
"Yanni, you're so good, you don't know, I actually don't have a good relationship with other people in the educated youth point, but it's easy to be with you, I believe we can become very good friends."
Coming out of the educated youth, Lou Yanni breathed a sigh of relief, these days she saw that Zuo Weiguo didn't look for her again, thinking that the previous incident was in the past, where did she think that Xing Xiaojuan would turn around again today to remind her, but this matter was finally resolved.
As for being friends or something, Lou Yanni didn't pay attention to it at all, she and Xing Xiaojuan were always a little uncomfortable together, it was estimated that the other party was similar to her, she didn't believe what Xing Xiaojuan said, the two were obviously very embarrassed, and she could also feel Xing Xiaojuan's temptation.
I don't know what she's tempting, though.
