Chapter 49: You might as well hang a straw sign and sell yourself at the market to bury your father

The car stopped and Ma Quaner shouted to the back, "Hurry up!"

"Here I am, Master Ma, thank you!"

The pretty widow He Meihong ran over, twisting her body, with a pink scarf wrapped around her head, which made her skin look even whiter. She gave Ma Quaner a coquettish look and slowly climbed onto the carriage.

"Sit here!"

Huang Jinxiang took the initiative to make room for her. Seeing the woman's coquettish look, he began to feel itchy again and wanted to get closer to her.

He Meihong ignored him, sat down next to Luo Xinxin, and said softly to Ma Quaner, "Master Ma, I'm seated."

Ma Quaner looked at her deeply and waved his whip.

The carriage started moving, and the rest of the journey was obviously much smoother than the previous few steps.

Luo Xinxin still admires He Meihong very much. This woman always hooks her fish accurately. It is easier for her to hook a man than to hook a black carp.

The farm is nearly twenty miles away from the market. The market is not big. There are more than a dozen stalls on the street in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. Farmers living nearby bring their agricultural products and exchange them for some money and tickets to supplement their family income. The market is also managed by public officials.

"Meet here in an hour. No one will be waiting after you arrive."

Ma Quaner parked the car and said coldly.

"One hour is not enough. I need to buy a lot of things."

Teacher Mei was a little unhappy because he paid a dime.

"Then take your time and walk back by yourself."

Ma Quan'er was not spoiled at all.

"Why are you like this? It's not like I haven't gone out..."

An angry Teacher Mei wanted to argue with him, but Huang Jinxiang pulled her away: "Don't argue. Master Ma is the only one on the farm who has a car. If you offend him, will you really have to rely on your own two feet to go to the market from now on?"

"He's so unreasonable and so fierce. I'm not sitting here for nothing..."

Teacher Mei was shocked, but still unconvinced, and grumbled a few words under her breath.

Moreover, when he saw He Meihong and Ma Quan'er talking, the fierce guy actually laughed. He was so angry that he said to Huang Jinxiang: "Look, he is so easy to talk to women!"

Huang Jinxiang also saw it and felt jealous, calling He Meihong a slut in his heart.

He was planning to look for this woman in the future, and the hundred dollars on the train couldn't be wasted, he had to sleep with her back!

Luo Xinxin ignored them and went shopping after getting off the car. Although there were not many stalls, the agricultural products were quite abundant. The most common ones were mutton and horse meat, as well as sorghum, red dates, millet, vegetables, etc.

What surprised her even more was that the meat was sold at a very low price and no meat coupons were required.

"The best is cloth coupons. One foot of cloth coupons buys three pounds of meat."

The uncle selling mutton spoke with a thick northwestern accent and very quickly. Luo Xinxin had to listen three times before she understood him.

Among so many meat stalls, this uncle's meat is the freshest and he is also an honest person. He said that his sheep was bitten by a wild beast and was dying, so he slaughtered it and sold it.

Although it was almost dead, it was still considered killed alive. The meat of other stall owners looked like it was dead.

It is said that local herdsmen do not eat dead animals. When the temperature suddenly drops in winter, a large number of cattle, horses and sheep will freeze to death. The herdsmen will not eat the meat and will sell it very cheaply, or even for free.

"I don't have any cloth coupons, but I have cloth. Can I exchange it?"

Luo Xinxin took out two pieces of cloth from her bag, one navy blue and the other floral, both Dacron. In the mall, one point was one foot, so she exchanged them for twenty feet of each.

"Can you please change all these cloths?"

The uncle nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He couldn't buy such good cloth even if he went shopping himself. He could make pants with the blue one and clothes with floral patterns for his daughter. They would definitely look beautiful in them.

"These two pieces together are forty feet. How much meat do you have?"

"About twenty pounds, and some leftovers. Miss, how about you give me ten feet of floral cloth?"

The uncle was a kind man. He offered only ten feet of floral cloth, which was just enough to make a dress for his daughter. He could patch up his pants to last him a few years.

"Okay, if you have any mutton in the future, you can come to the farm and trade it with me. Do you know Qianjin Farm?"

Luo Xinxin had a very good impression of this uncle and was willing to continue doing business with him.

"I know. Someone from my village is marrying into your farm. Girl, it's settled then. I'll come to the farm to exchange with you later!"

The uncle was overjoyed and prepared to change the piece of floral cloth to make a dress for the child's mother.

Now he hopes that the wild beast will come and bite the sheep at home so that he can kill them.

The uncle went to borrow a pair of scissors, and Luo Xinxin gestured with her hands in front of him and cut it in half accurately.

"Give!"

Luo Xinxin handed him half.

The uncle happily took it and even asked for a piece of newspaper to wrap it up for fear that it would get dirty.

He gave all the meat and the backpack to Luo Xinxin, asked her name, and then went home happily with the cloth.

The other stall owners were so jealous that they greeted the customers even more enthusiastically.

Luo Xinxin used the remaining floral cloth to exchange for a bag of rice, about 20 to 30 kilograms, and bought everything else with her own money.

She had some understanding of the trading rules of the market. Cloth coupons were the most valuable. The locals were short of cloth, so buying them with cash would be more expensive.

After buying a lot of bags, Luo Xinxin was the first to arrive at the meeting point, and the second to arrive was Huang Jinxianghe, the art teacher.

"Xinxin, why are you buying so many things?"

Huang Jinxiang was shocked. It was piled up like a mountain. How much would it cost?

His eyes became scrutinizing. It seemed that the Luo family had hidden a lot of money!

"I had some extra cloth at home, and I used it all to trade."

Luo Xinxin explained lightly.

The system has guaranteed that the items in the mall will not be checked, so she feels relieved.

She is not afraid of being targeted by others, and will beat up anyone who dares to come.

"Cloth is a good thing. It's a shame you changed it all!"

Huang Jinxiang felt sorry for her, what a spendthrift girl.

"No matter how good it is, it won't fill my stomach. I might as well eat some meat instead."

Luo Xinxin snorted softly.

Huang Jinxiang smiled and changed the subject, "Xinxin, the weather is so hot, you won't be able to finish all the meat in a short time. Why don't you share some with me?"

"It's uneven, I'll marinate it and eat it slowly!"

"It's so hot it will spoil even if you pickle it. What a pity."

"It's not a pity. If it goes bad and gets maggots, it's perfect for cooking."

Luo Xinxin retorted that it was hot in the northwest at noon and quite cold in the morning and evening. It would be fine to keep the meat for two or three days. Daya and Erya both ate a lot, so they would finish it quickly.

Even if she couldn't finish it, she wouldn't let Huang Jinxiang take advantage of it.

Huang Jinxiang pursed his lips in displeasure, then turned around and continued chatting and laughing with the art teacher.

Luo Xinxin was also a little impressed. In fact, the system should be bound to this guy. He was truly good at dealing with people.

[Don't try to confuse me with random couples, I have mysophobia]

The soft and cute system voice turned out to be very serious, and you could tell it was really angry.

"I'm sorry if I offended you."

Luo Xinxin sincerely apologized.

【Be careful next time】

The system is very arrogant.

Luo Xinxin chatted with it for a while, and when everyone arrived, Teacher Mei bought almost nothing. As soon as she came back, she complained, "This is outrageous! Things are more expensive than in Shanghai. Those people are so black-hearted. This is too much."

"They didn't think you were poor, but you still think they are cruel. I think you are the one who is unreasonable!"

Luo Xinxin listened and immediately started to use her sharp tongue.

"Can you say that again?"

When the truth about his poor status was exposed, Teacher Mei's face turned red. She wanted to fight with Luo Xinxin, but was stopped by Huang Jinxiang.

"Calm down, Xinxin was talking about me, not you!"

"Take him for example, a poor, unfaithful, and unfilial bastard. He wandered around for an hour and only managed to beg for two tomatoes and a cucumber. What else could he be but a poor bastard?"

Luo Xinxin's face was full of contempt. Just now when she bought mutton, Teacher Mei was at the stall next to her. He had been haggling with the old man selling tomatoes for a long time. The old man was so annoyed that he just gave her two tomatoes.

Then the guy did the same thing again and asked for a cucumber. Later he wanted to ask for some meat, but failed and was scolded.

This is the kind of person Luo Xinxin can't stand the most. They are a disgrace to humanity.

"I've got an idea for you. Go to the market and hang up a sign saying you're selling yourself to bury your father. See if anyone takes pity on you and buys you back to work like a slave!"

Luo Xinxin cursed even more viciously, and Huang Jinxiang refused to hold her back. Teacher Mei rushed over to teach her a lesson, but was knocked out by her with one punch.

She doesn't even need a Dali Ka. One hand is enough to deal with this little Karami!

[As for why the Luo family's refrigerator and furniture are still there, it's because after they move to the northwest, someone will take over the house, and those appliances and furniture will be ready to use. The other jewelry and antiques are gone. In addition, the system's items will not be checked. This is a cool story, so there is this setting.]
