Meng Youyou walked on the country road, stepping on the grass on the side of the road without a foot, and it was really boring to have no one to talk to for more than ten miles.

"Do you want a ride?" Jiang Chuan drove the tractor to a steady stop and asked loudly.

He had actually seen Meng Youyou a long time ago, but he didn't expect the tractor to be so loud, she couldn't bear to look back, so he didn't rush and drove slowly.

Seeing that her walking movements were getting slower and slower, he drove forward faster.

"You can't press these goods, right?" Meng Youyou also stood still, and looked at the carriage behind him was full of snakeskin bags, and the layers were quite high.

Meng Youyou listened to the sound of the tractor before, and guessed in his heart that it was probably Jiang Chuan, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he deliberately endured it and didn't look back, wanting to walk to the county with his legs.

It's just that ideas are always good, but reality is always the opposite.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help laughing, he thought she would refuse directly, but he didn't expect that her heart was betrayed in these eyes, and all that was revealed was longing.

"It's okay, it can't be crushed, it's just that you have to hold on to this iron rod and be careful of falling."

In fact, you can also sit next to him, and the position is very spacious, but men and women don't kiss, if people watch the two of them squeeze together, it's not good.

Besides, Jiang Chuan knew that she would refuse without asking, so he simply didn't bother to speak.

Meng Youyou pulled the iron rod and climbed up carefully, grabbed it tightly with both hands, and felt the tractor staggering forward, although it was a little windier and more sandy to sit on, but at least his legs were freed.

The two of them didn't know each other very well, Meng Youyou wanted to find a topic to chat about, but found that he couldn't say anything, because the sound of the tractor was too loud, and coupled with the sound of the wind, he had to shout loudly to be heard.

Letting the embarrassment go all the way, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Chuan slowed down the speed of the car, and there was a fork in front of him, and asked.

Meng Youyou thought for a while, "When are you going back?" ”

"I have to pull the goods to unload, and I have to go to the agricultural machinery factory, it is estimated that it will be afternoon," Jiang Chuan knew what she meant by this and didn't want to be together, and he was not angry, so he said honestly.

"What about three o'clock in the afternoon?" It's summer, it's getting dark, and there's still a lot of sun at three o'clock.

Jiang Chuan smiled, "Four o'clock, we are still meeting in this place." ”

It's rare to enter the county seat once, Jiang Chuan himself has something to do, and he doesn't want to be in a hurry.

"Okay," Meng Youyou replied.

Lisso climbed out of the car, waved her hand and walked down the path to the left of her memory, where she remembered their school.

When I entered the city, I found that it was not much different from the village, at most the houses on both sides were neat and uniform, and the bricks were used, which looked different from the mud houses in the village.

The difference in the house is not the main thing, the point is that the people walking on the street are really different, at least most of the clothes they wear are not patched, even if there is, they are in an inconspicuous position, and the liberation shoes on their feet are also clean, which gives people a much better impression.

The school is a boarding system, Meng Youyou stood at the gate of the school, unsurprisingly saw the closed door, hesitated for a moment and turned to leave.

"Comrade, may I ask how the supply and marketing cooperatives will go?" Meng Youyou looked left and right, and found that he didn't know the way, so he could only ask someone.

"Go along this road, turn left at the fork in the road, and then keep going on the left-hand side," replied a middle-aged man with a slight smile as he looked at a young girl who asked for directions.

Meng Youyou politely thanked her and walked forward on the side of the road, in fact, it was useless for her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, because she didn't have a ticket at all, so she could only find someone to buy what Wu Qingmei said at a high price, but she still had to go over and take a look.

After finally seeing the sign of the supply and marketing cooperative, Meng Youyou thought there would be a long queue, but he didn't expect that there was no one at the door, and after a few glances inside, he smiled and said, "Comrade, do you have a fountain pen here?" ”

"Yes, there are three or five yuan," after a long time, the woman inside slowly walked over and replied a little reluctantly.

"Can you show it to me?" Meng Youyou was still good-tempered and continued to ask.

The woman glanced at Meng Youyou and said coldly, "We all ask for tickets to buy things." ”

The implication is that can you afford it?

Meng Youyou heard it, and he didn't take it to heart, so he didn't get angry, and took out two pens from his pocket, "That eldest sister, you are well-informed at work in the supply and marketing cooperative, can you help me see if these two pens are worth anything?" ”

Then he was a little embarrassed, "I have a relative who came back two days ago in Shanghai, saying that he brought it back to me specially for me, and I have never seen the world in the countryside, so I don't know if it is very valuable." ”

The woman who was called the eldest sister saw that the little girl had a sincere attitude and a sweet little mouth, and that no one came to buy anything now, so she said, "Then you bring it and I'll help you take a look." ”

I thought it was just an ordinary fountain pen, but I didn't expect to take it in my hand to see, the luster has texture, and then open the cap, the steel nib of the pen is all good steel, full of elasticity, unscrew the pen barrel and pinch the absorbent hose, no need to write on paper, she can conclude that the price of this fountain pen is expensive.

"Little girl, isn't the price of your fountain pen cheap," the woman couldn't help but smile when she saw the surprised expression on her face, and then thought of something, and said, "Little girl, you have two of them, you usually don't need such a good fountain pen for reading and writing, do you want to exchange something with me?" ”

said it was exchanged, but in fact it was sold, but the words couldn't be too direct, "You just call me Sister Li, you see what you lack at home, I can buy it privately and give it to you." ”

Meng Youyou didn't expect this harvest, originally she just wanted to come to explore the market, if she really wanted to sell these things in the future, she wouldn't be too ruthless.

"It's not good...... Meng Youyou pretended to be scared, a little hesitant.

Li Hui disagreed, and continued to persuade, "What's wrong, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows?" ”

Her man works in the factory, and he is a cadre, if there is a pen like this, others will have to take a look at it, so Li Hui really wants this pen.

"How about I'll give you twenty dollars a piece?" Li Hui saw that she was a little shaken, lowered her voice, and said.

She works in the supply and marketing cooperative, and her man also works in a textile factory, and the two of them add up to a salary of 100 per month, so spending 20 yuan to buy a fountain pen, Li Hui thinks it is worth it.

"Sister Li, why don't I give you both, you can give me thirty-five yuan," Meng Youyou deliberately thought for a while before saying, "Just when I make friends with my eldest sister, maybe there will be other things to trouble you when I turn around." ”

In fact, she didn't expect that just two ordinary fountain pens in later generations could have such a high price when they were sold in this era, and it was also the limitation of the era. And Meng Youyou is now lacking everything at home, although she has a little money, but she doesn't have a ticket, so Li Hui has to pay for the ticket.
