By this time, it was already dark, and as soon as they sat down, they heard the sound of a bicycle bell not far away.

The bell was crisp and pleasant, and Susie even felt that it was still a little indescribably cheerful.

A bicycle drove up the road they had come.

Susie quickly saw the man on the bicycle - Xu Zhiqiang.

Xu Zhiqiang had a smile on his face, and from time to time he turned his head to talk to the person in the back seat.

Only then did Susie realize that there was a woman sitting in the back seat of the bicycle, who seemed to be Yu Xue.

Soon, Xu Zhiqiang also saw a few people resting on the side of the road, he braked the car and pointed to the ground with one foot, "You guys are going to the scene?" ”

Tian Xiaohui nodded, glanced at Yu Xue in the back seat of Xu Zhiqiang's car, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, why are you going?" ”

Xu Zhiqiang's face turned red, "No, why don't you do it, just go to the county seat to play." ”

Yu Xue sat in the back seat of the car and didn't get down, she glanced at a few people, and pulled Xu Zhiqiang's clothes, "Let's go, there are still many things, don't be late." ”

Xu Zhiqiang smiled apologetically at a few people, "Then let's go first." With that, the bike quickly went away.

Zhao Tingting sighed, "Yu Xue is also interesting, she doesn't even say hello, and her eyes look at people as if she is on top." ”

Susie didn't answer, and the few people rested for a while, then got up and continued walking.

After walking another three or four miles, I finally arrived at Qingshi Town.

Today's Bluestone Town is completely different from when it came that day.

From the street to the end of the street, there are people everywhere.

The ground on both sides of the street is filled with stalls of all kinds.

Mushrooms, bamboo baskets, chairs, brooms, loofahs, dog skin plasters, ginger candy, in short, everything is sold.

Susie took a look, mainly agricultural and sideline products, and the things produced in the factory were basically not available on the stalls.

Tian Xiaohui was so excited that she pulled Susie and Zhao Tingting around, and after a few people bought some things they needed, she suddenly said mysteriously: "You guys come with me, I know a good place." ”

She looked around, as if she was looking for something, and then led the two of them around the town to a secluded alley.

Tian Xiaohui pulled the two of them in, and turned a corner, and Susie found that there were also stalls here, which should be the black market.

After walking for a while, I saw a chicken tied and thrown on the ground on a stall, and there was a basket of eggs next to it.

Susie first studied the cockscomb, and after a short time, confirmed that it was a hen, she asked the aunt who sold the chickens, "Does this chicken lay eggs?" ”

The aunt nodded vigorously, "Lay eggs." She gestured to the eggs next to her, "The eggs here are all new." ”

Susie asked again, "Isn't it good for that chicken to keep eggs every day?" What did you do when you sold it? ”

The aunt waved her hand, "This chicken has been raised for two years, and now it doesn't lay many eggs, and it will only be next for a few days, so it's worth selling it for some money." ”

Susie chatted with her aunt a few more words, and only then did she know that only young hens were willing to lay eggs, and that hens usually lay fewer eggs after they were two years old. It seems that you still have to buy chicken cubs.

However, this hen and eggs are also rare, and Susie wrapped up her aunt's chickens and eggs, spending a total of three yuan.

Zhao Tingting watched Susie pay the money, and quickly took out the paper to note the account.

After shopping for a while, Susie finally found the chicken seller, the stall owner was an old man, Zhao Tingting bargained, spent a piece of five cents, and bought five chicks.

Tian Xiaohui suddenly pointed to the end of the alley in front of her and pulled Susie hard, Susie looked over and saw two bags of white flowers of rice on the ground.

Tian Xiaohui said excitedly: "Buy some, I really can't eat sweet potato rice." ”

Susie also wanted to buy it, so she hesitated, "We're just afraid that we won't be able to get this rice back." ”

Zhao Tingting pulled the corner of Susie's clothes next to her, and whispered: "Sissi, I think it's better not to buy it, after all, we are eating together, Qiao Mu Yuan Gang and they may not agree——"

Susie understood what she meant, if you buy rice for everyone to eat, you must pay for it, not everyone is like her, carrying a huge sum of hundreds of yuan.

Besides, I can't afford to eat rice for a long time.

Susie pondered for a moment, "Then I won't buy it." ”

Although Tian Xiaohui was reluctant to give up the rice, she was still very obedient and was obediently pulled out of the alley by Susie.

It was still a secluded alley when she came out, and Susie thought that the town was not big, and she was not afraid of getting lost, so she chose a random direction and walked forward.

After walking for a while, they heard the sound of people in the market, and they walked to the mouth of the alley, and were just about to go out, when Susie's eyes suddenly stopped on the side of the road.

There is a scrap yard in this alley.

There were a lot of discarded newspapers and books on the floor, and an old man was sitting on a bamboo chaise longue, listening to the radio with his eyes closed.

Susie's heart moved, and she walked over and asked, "Old man, can I buy a few books here?" ”

The old man opened his eyes and waved his hand casually, "Choose yourself, choose the money, a dime." ”

It seemed that this was not the first time that the old man had done this kind of business, Susie agreed, and crouched down in front of the pile of old books and rummaged through.

Tian Xiaohui squatted down next to her and began to rummage, "What book are you looking for?" Novel? ”

There's nothing interesting in the countryside, and she's planning to get a few books somewhere.

Susie shook her head, "Textbooks, textbooks for sophomores and juniors, you saw it and took it out." "She has her own textbooks for the first year of high school, but she lacks the second and third years of high school.

Although it is still two or three years before the college entrance examination resumes, she has to prepare early.

Tian Xiaohui laughed, "We don't go to school anymore, what else do we have to do." ”

Susie didn't explain, just said, "I'm useful." ”

Zhao Tingting muttered beside her, "I knew you wanted it, so I brought those books." ”

Susie turned her head to look at her, by the way, Zhao Tingting is a high school graduate, "Your textbooks are still there?" ”

Zhao Tingting nodded and shook her head, "I don't know, I'll take it home after graduation, and most of my mother has already sold it as scrap." ”

Susie continued to rummage, "When do you go back to visit your family, look for it, and bring it with you if you find it." ”

"Okay." Zhao Tingting agreed, put down the back basket on her body, and sat on a small pony and looked around boredly.

Susie searched for a long time, but only found a few textbooks for junior high and primary schools, and there were no high school ones.

She patted her head, Qingshi Town is the location of the commune, the commune is actually the township government of later generations, there is only a junior high school here, there is no high school, and there are few people in the whole commune who go to high school, if you want to find high school textbooks, I am afraid you have to go to the county to see.

She took out two junior high school textbooks, turned her head and saw Tian Xiaohui holding the book and reading it with relish.

She pulled Tian Xiaohui's braids, "I want to see if I buy it and go back to see it, you think this is a library." ”

"Oops, my legs are numb." She stood up and moved her legs.

At this moment, she suddenly kicked something under her feet, and when she looked down, there was a pile of broken copper and iron at her feet, and it was a cloud of ash that almost hit her feet.
