Li Tingyun thought about it and decided it was a good idea. They changed their clothes and went to He Fei's house first.

I gave the money from selling the pig to the father and son and told them not to go up the mountain today.

After leaving, she went to find Erniu, gave him his money, and then took Erhua to the city.

Erniu wanted to keep them for breakfast, but when he heard that they were in a hurry to go into the city, he didn't try to stop them.

With this money, they can buy a lot of things after they get married.

"We will come back today and call Sister Xiaoni, Xiaozhuang's father, and Xiaozhuang's mother tomorrow. You can go too." After Li Tingyun said this, he took Xu Erhua away.

The two of them got on the bus to the county town together. Today's ticket seller was Sister Liu's apprentice Feng Chenchen. After the two of them got on the bus, she started chattering non-stop.

Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua just listened and spoke casually because they were in a good mood today.

When they arrived in the city, Li Tingyun arranged for Xu Erhua to go to the scrap collection station. She went to Lao Gao alone and sold all the ginseng.

It was sold for 1,120 yuan. Lao Gao said that he had sold the bear for a good price last time. Knowing that Li Tingyun didn't want any money, he prepared a sack of New Year's goods for her.

Li Tingyun knew that this was also Lao Gao's intention, so she did not refuse. She took the things and left, finding a deserted place to put the things in the space.

After putting the things away, I went to the scrap collection station to find Xu Erhua. It was already noon when I went back and forth.

Xu Erhua found some medical supplies here. The old lady saw that Li Tingyun was looking for high school books before, so she saved some for her after seeing them.

Li Tingyun was overjoyed to see these books. He left what he had found here and took Xu Erhua to the state-owned restaurant.

Chen Jiaojiao waited for a long time and finally waited for Li Tingyun to come over again.

"Tingyun, you're here. Let's go to the back to eat. It's almost New Year's Day, so there are quite a few people here." She enthusiastically pulled Li Tingyun to the backyard.

"Sister Jiaojiao, it's still the same ones I asked for before. When you pack, pack thirty buns for me." Li Tingyun told Chen Jiaojiao his request.

"Okay, you guys wait, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Chen Jiaojiao hurried to the front hall.

The hall was already busy. She said hello to her sisters and went to the kitchen to prepare food for Li Tingyun.

"Tingyun, what is this place?" Xu Erhua looked curiously and found that it was a small courtyard.

"This is the backyard of the restaurant. Most people can't come in. Uncle Luo brought me here for the first time. Later, there were too many people in the front, so Sister Jiaojiao also brought me here to eat." After Li Tingyun finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the window.

A familiar figure walked past the window, and the person turned around and saw Li Tingyun.

"It's you! You haven't been here for a long time. Have you seen Lao Luo recently?" When Chef Liu saw that it was Li Tingyun, he asked about the whereabouts of his old friend.

"Uncle Luo went to the city a few days ago. I wonder if he has come back?" Li Tingyun answered Chef Liu's question.

"Well, it's the end of the year, and there are so many things to do everywhere. It's hard for us to have some free time. You eat, and I'll go get busy." Chef Liu said, and left with his hands behind his back.

After Li Tingyun sat back down, Xu Erhua asked, "Tingyun, is this uncle a friend of Uncle Luo?"

"Yes, it was very late when we came last time, and Chef Liu cooked the dishes for us." Li Tingyun explained.

After waiting for about half an hour, Chen Jiaojiao brought their dishes to the table.

Just as the food was served, another female comrade came and brought a fish.

"Aqin, they didn't order fish?" Chen Jiaojiao thought her colleague had served the wrong dish.

"Chef Liu brought it over and said it was his treat." Aqin put the dish down and left with a smile.

Chen Jiaojiao didn't know when Li Tingyun knew Chef Liu. After waiting for Ah Qin to leave, she whispered, "Chef Liu is famous here for his strange temper. There aren't many people who can get him to treat us to a meal. Tingyun, you're really amazing."

"It's not that I'm great. Chef Liu is a friend of my uncle. I guess he's doing this for my uncle's sake?" Li Tingyun thought that this should be the case.

Chen Jiaojiao nodded after listening, and then said: "Thank you for what you told me last time. My husband has been working overtime these days!"

"Hard work will always be rewarded!" Li Tingyun didn't say anything else. She could see that Chen Jiaojiao wanted to know something from her.

But, she told everything she knew, and now there was nothing she could do.

Seeing that Li Tingyun had no intention of saying anything, Chen Jiaojiao went to the front to busy herself.

There were three dishes on the table. The two were already hungry, so they ate them in a hurry. After eating, they went to the living room and wanted to go to the kitchen to thank Chef Liu, but they thought it would be inappropriate to go empty-handed.

never mind!

Next time I go to the city, I’ll bring some mountain products to Chef Liu.

Chen Jiaojiao packed the dishes that Li Tingyun had packed and took out thirty buns. Li Tingyun gave her the money, and they exchanged a few words before leaving the state-owned restaurant.

After leaving the state-owned restaurant, Li Tingyun took Xu Erhua to visit the state-owned store.

Looking at the dazzling array of shops, Xu Erhua thought everything was beautiful. She had dozens of dollars on her but was reluctant to spend it.

When she was about to leave, she saw a piece of clothing she liked, but the salesperson saw that she was wearing clothes full of patches and looked disgusted and ignored her.

"Comrade, how much is this dress?" The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"This dress is not cheap, it costs fifteen yuan. If you want to buy it, I'll give it to you. If you don't want to buy it, don't even look at it." The salesperson answered casually and started chatting with his colleague next to him.

When Xu Erhua saw other people's attitude, she noticed her clothes and came out in a hurry without thinking to change into a better one.

"I'll buy it." She said confidently.

The salesperson pursed her lips and slowly took down the clothes, thinking that if she couldn't afford it, she would definitely be scolded.

Li Tingyun was very angry when he saw such an attitude, but when he thought about the fact that everyone was eating from the same pot at that time, he could only suppress his anger.

Xu Erhua didn't dare to argue with the salesperson and waited for the salesperson to take down the clothes. She unbuttoned the clothes and wanted to let Li Tingyun try them on, but was scolded by the salesperson.

"What are you doing? I'm just looking. You're all dirty. How can I sell things to you if you put them on?" The salesperson scolded Xu Erhua.

This time, Li Tingyun couldn't hold it in any longer. He pointed at the salesperson and yelled, "What's wrong with trying it on? How do you know if it's wearable if you don't try it on? You think we farmers are dirty, but without farmers working the land, what would you eat? If you despise us so much, why don't you just not eat?"

"You poor bastard, why are you shopping if you have no money? Go back! Country bumpkin!" The salesperson was not to be trifled with either. He pointed at Li Tingyun's nose and cursed him.

"Come and take a look, come and take a look. This comrade not only looks down on farmers, but also doesn't allow farmers to try on clothes. What kind of ideology is this? This is evil capitalist ideology. Call your director. I want to ask how you can tolerate people with such capitalist ideas here." Li Tingyun opened her mouth and said whatever these people feared the most.
