Chapter 17 is finally open
Mingfang came back from Li's house, and her mother and brother left early. She found a sack and wrapped the rabbit she had caught last night, put it in a basket, carried it and went out of the house.
Ming Fang crossed the village along the path, walked out for more than ten miles, and arrived at Hejiaji Town, where there were communes, health centers, supply and marketing cooperatives, processing plants, etc., on both sides of the streets of the town, and there were many people coming and going on the street.
She put the basket on the side of the road, and after a short period of effort, someone came over and asked her if she was selling eggs, and she told people that she was selling hares, and asked people if they wanted to eat rabbit meat, which was a luxury for ordinary people at that time. Mingfang was a little anxious.
Ming Fangxin said that the people who work in the health center should be rich, so she simply went to the door of the health center and took out the hare and put it on the ground. It wasn't until almost noon that people got off work one after another, and a few people came out of the health center.
As soon as the hare appeared, it immediately attracted people from the health center, and a middle-aged man walked towards her.
"How much does this rabbit cost?"
Ming Fang didn't actually think about the price, and the prices in the late seventies and early eighties of the last century were not clear to her.
"Oh, this is the hare my brother caught, uncle, if you want to buy it, how much can you see and give it?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then took out a few change tickets from his pocket: "How about buying your rabbit for eight dimes?"
Ming Fangxin said that there was no penny in the family, and the eight dails, a strong laborer's day's work, were worth two dimes and five cents, and they were finally opened.
Mingfang nodded, and the man stuffed the money to her, happily carrying the rabbit away.
Mingfang put the eight dimes in her pocket and put them in her heart! She walked around the town, saw the seller of baked cakes, and when she asked, the baked cakes were five cents a piece, and she grinded with others for a long time, and finally bought three baked cakes for a dime, and went home happily.
At lunch, Mingfang still fried cabbage, poured a little soup of stewed hares, three baked cakes were not enough to eat, she took cornmeal from the space and pasted a few vegetable cakes. Cut a small plate of shredded pickles.
My mother and brother came back from work, and her lunch had just been prepared.
When Mingfang saw her mother coming back, she took out seven dimes and gave it to her mother. Zhang Meiyu was startled when she saw the seven dimes.
"Fang, where did you get the money?"
"Mother, I sold the hare I caught, and sold it for eight dimes. I spent a dime to buy three baked cakes, and there were seven corners left. ”
Zhang Meiyu's eyes widened: "Fang, you ...... Where are you going to sell rabbits, so that people can see it?"
"I sold it in Hejiaji Town, mother, don't worry, no one knows me there. ”
"In case people see it and cause trouble, our family can't stand the toss like this......"
Ming Fang shook her head indifferently. The heart said, "My mother, in another year or two, the countryside will be full of bazaars, as long as you want, everyone can do small business, and every family wants to live a rich life."
"Mother, you just have to rest assured, it'll be fine. Besides, how can you live at home and have no money in your hands?"
Of course, Zhang Meiyu knows the difficulty of living without money, she asked the man to go out and bring the only little money, and there is really no penny at home, and the inner embarrassment is only clear to herself. While telling her daughter to be careful, she picked up the money and put it away, and finally had the money for soy sauce and vinegar.
There are baked cakes for lunch, and the mother's meal is very sweet.
After dinner, Ming Fang called her brother to catch rabbits with a noose, and got up early the next day, Ming Fang ran out to see that it was snowing last night, and it was white everywhere. In the morning the snow stopped, and the sky was still overcast. She ran out into the field to see that she hadn't caught a single rabbit. Hey! Mingfang looked around in disappointment, the bare fields, glowing white, deserted.
There is a large forest farm three miles away from Liujiatun, where the forest is deep and the grass is dense, there are many grass seeds, and there are naturally many small animals such as sparrows and hares! Hey, why didn't I think of it earlier? Mingfang made up her mind, put away the lasso and hurried home.
Mingfang went into the house and found a sieve from the matching room, put a string, broom and lasso into the basket, and carried the basket to the forest farm.
......
Zhang Meiyu, Da Ling, Liu Erqin and a group of women sat in the warehouse of the team headquarters and peeled peanuts. Although Liu Erqin felt sorry for her missing white noodles, after all, the family had a beautiful meal of stewed rabbit meat. How can it not be showy.
"Yesterday my Hongbao caught a big hare, ouch, that fat yo, a pot of rabbit meat stewed. ”
Zhizi stopped his hand: "I said, the smell of meat wafted through the courtyard of my family, and made my five brothers drool." Hey, Erqin, divide half of the meeting, what about your rabbit meat, share a little with me, and tell my cubs to taste it too?"
I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and the family eats a meal, if Liu Erqin hadn't quietly put out a bowl before the meal, there would be nothing left, and the meal would have been cleaned up. Rabbit meat is a rare thing, where can I give it to others? Liu Erqin pouted in his heart and laughed on his lips.
"Branch, this is easy to say, when Ruby catches the rabbit again, he must be thinking about you!"
"Hey, I don't have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to go, cut!" Zhizi glanced at Liu Erqin, "If you don't give it, I'll find the captain to go in a while!"
Liu Erqin knew that Zhizi was a joke, and she glanced at Zhang Meiyu not far away: "Do you think you are the vixen?"
"Which vixen? Where is the vixen?" Zhizi deliberately asked her, saying that Erqin was really capable, and he could pull Zhang Meiyu no matter what he said.
"Isn't that, carrying a foxy look all day long, specifically seducing men!Phew, shameless!" Liu Erqin spat at Zhang Meiyu.
Zhang Meiyu lowered her head and peeled peanuts, as long as she didn't mention her name, swallowed her anger and pretended not to hear, ignoring her. Unexpectedly, Liu Erqin had to inch in, how could she let her go easily?
Liu Erqin stood up and shouted at Zhizi: "Zhizi, you are a wilting louse, right?
The branch grabbed two peanuts and threw them over: "You're the wilting louse!"
Liu Erqin dodged and dodged with a ouch, grabbed a handful of peanuts and hit Zhang Meiyu's face, pop, the distance was close, Liu Erqin hit a hundred shots, a few peanuts smashed into Zhang Meiyu's face, Zhang Meiyu, who was immersed in work, was frightened, and her face immediately hurt hotly, she touched her face and looked at Liu Erqin.
Liu Erqin smiled: "Yo, I didn't mean it." ”
"Erqin, you did it on purpose, what are you doing?" Da Ling really couldn't look at it.
"Sister-in-law, you are really eating inside and out. Yes, I did it on purpose, what's the matter?" Liu Erqin said, raising his hand and flying over another handful of peanuts, Zhang Meiyu couldn't dodge, and the peanuts hit his head.
Da Ling rushed to Liu Erqin: "Did someone recruit you and provoke you?"
Liu Erqin suddenly burst into anger and pushed Da Ling hard, Da Ling threw down a butt and squatted, she didn't do it, she jumped up and pinched Liu Erqin, and the two scuffled together.
Zhang Meiyu saw that Da Ling was fighting with Liu Erqin for herself, and hurriedly came over to pull the fight. Liu Erqin took the opportunity to pull Zhang Meiyu's hair and beat Zhang Meiyu on her head and face. Where did Zhang Meiyu's slender body still get her hands on, and how could she dare to fight back with her situation? In an instant, her nose and face were swollen after being beaten, and her face was scratched by Liu Erqin.
Liu Erqin still didn't let go, jumping to his feet, the fox spirit, and the fox spirit scolded endlessly.
Branches, spring apricots, etc. watched the excitement from the sidelines, gloating.
Zhang Meiyu covered her face and collapsed to the ground crying in a low voice. Da Ling held her distressedly: "Don't be like her, she's a crazy woman!"
