Chapter 38, High-top Shoes

The Li family members came to their senses at this time. Xiansheng had told them this before, but they were all confused.

Soon, the nearest carriage arrived.

After helping the man up, Xiansheng also went to the town with him.

Looking at the bloody stone knife on the ground, everyone felt sad.

An Qianqian also frowned.

When doing farm work, everyone goes barefoot because it is more convenient.

Shoes and socks for home are not easy to come by, so save as much as possible.

Therefore, when people do any work related to water, most of them go barefoot, and accidents happen frequently, but people like Li Fanda are still a minority.

After calming the man down, Mao's father returned home with his family.

He smoked one cigarette after another.

He was forced to become the village chief, but after so many years in office, he had already integrated himself into Shangxi Village.

Even though this is a later developed village.

"Dad, do you think Brother Wanda's foot can be saved?" Mao Jianxing asked worriedly.

Mao's father shook his head and said, "Please give me shoes to wear when I go to the fields in the future." Fortunately, his second daughter-in-law brought him some high-heeled shoes today.

Mao Jianxing didn't want to wear them at first, as they were such new shoes that he wanted to put them aside for a while before wearing them.

"OK."

At this time, An Qianqian thought of the defective products that Han Meng had told her about.

Although I didn't ask how many there were, I guess it would be possible for every store to buy a pair?

So she didn't hide it and talked about it with Mao's father.

After hearing this, Mao's father's face was filled with surprise: "Are you sure it has it?" These days, it is extremely difficult to buy anything.

"Yes, but I don't know how many." She really didn't know this. "How about I go ask tomorrow?" She looked at her future father-in-law.

Mao's father shook his head and said, "Don't be the one involved in this matter. I'll go with you when you buy it." Qianqian was too young and shy to be asked for help on some matters.

It’s better not to let her get involved in such an unpleasant matter.

I can help one family, but I can’t help everyone.

An Qianqian certainly wouldn't steal the limelight from him. Besides, she didn't think this was the limelight.

With the village chief taking the lead, I think the villagers won't gossip too much.

When we discovered this, we all felt bad.

Not to mention Cai Bo's family.

When I came back that night, many people who cared about me came to ask me questions.

When we learned that our foot was saved but we would have to rest for several months, we all broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately it was saved.

The next day, the village chief also went to Li's house. After asking about the situation, he came to the brigade, picked up the brigade's loudspeaker and started shouting.

An Qianqian didn't go to the team. She stayed at home to look after the chickens. Her mother went there.

Seeing that most people had arrived, the village chief began to talk about Li Fanda's foot cutting incident yesterday.

He also told everyone to protect themselves, otherwise they would not be able to work in the fields and would be without food for the year.

No one wants this to happen, but what can they do?

"Village chief, what do you think we should do?" They really had no idea.

Mao's father thought for a while and finally mentioned the idea of buying high-top shoes.

Everyone started discussing them one by one.

Those shoes are really nice, but they are expensive.

"It's a bit expensive, but it's not necessary for each person to buy a pair. One pair per family will be enough, and people can wear them when they go to the fields." This is all the village chief can do.

We can't ask him to help buy it because his family has no money.

"Village chief, I, my family has no money." An old lady stepped forward and said, "You know my family, and there are sick people in my family. Where can I get the money to buy these shoes?"

At this time, everyone sewed for three years, mended for three years, and then sewed and mended for another three years.

The older ones are worn first, then the younger ones. After the younger ones are worn, they take a few more pieces and sew them up before wearing them again.

Life is not easy.

Mao's father also sighed, "Alas, it's all because of poverty." After saying that, he pondered for a while and spoke again: "How about this, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to ask if there are any defective products for sale. If there are, we will buy some back then. Our village is different from other villages. We are surrounded by mountains and survive in the cracks of rocks."

This place is not rich, on the contrary, it is very poor, and the fields here are all reclaimed from wasteland.

There are good and bad things.

The population of the village is increasing, but there are only so many fields. It would be strange if everyone could have an easy life.

Seeing that the village chief was concerned about everyone, the villagers were very grateful.

The Li family regretted it very much. If they had known earlier, they would have bought those shoes. Five dollars was nothing. Now, Wanda didn’t know how many five dollars he had spent.

Mao's father left the village early the next morning. There was more than one supply and marketing cooperative in the town, so he asked one by one.

When people heard that he wanted to buy a defective product, no one would sell it to him.

That’s right, these people are like this, they would rather let their things rot than let others get a bargain.

The village chief returned helplessly.

It’s not that he doesn’t have the ability, but he has Qianqian’s support, so he is not in a hurry.

The person who followed him saw the village chief's lost face at the first moment, and he also became lost.

Fortunately, the village chief did not say anything final.

They said there was a store that had it, but I didn’t know how many there were, and the price was two dollars.

This matter has finally been explained.

After the villagers reported the number, one morning, the village chief asked Uncle He to take him and Qianqian out of the village.

An Qianqian went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative closest to them. As soon as she arrived, she said she was looking for Han Meng. When the salesperson heard that she was looking for an internal staff, he didn't even try to please her.

Quickly help to call the person out.

As soon as Han Meng came out, An Qianqian introduced her father-in-law to her.

Han Meng has a simple personality. When she saw that it was her good friend's father-in-law, her expression changed immediately.

That kind of flattering attitude makes people's teeth ache.

An Qianqian didn't know she was so precious.

"Okay, stop messing around and get down to business." Mao's father couldn't stand the flattery anymore and urged.

An Qianqian did not shy away from asking directly about her defective high-top shoes.

He also reported the amount his village wanted.

Han Meng was delighted when he heard this, "That's great, since you bought so much, I'll ask the director to give you a discount."

Mao's father felt very uncomfortable. He came to ask yesterday, but was told directly that there was no such thing.

Now, the number I reported is actually higher than what I reported.

Han Meng brought the two of them to the back of the supply and marketing cooperative.

There are office workers here.

She didn't let them walk around, and after stopping in an open space, she went straight to find the director.

Actually, the director here is her relative.

Otherwise, she wouldn't come here to work, let alone manage the warehouse.

It's both leisurely and profitable.

Han Meng came back very quickly, and not only that, she also brought the relative director with her.

Things went smoothly.

An Qianqian also invited the two of them to a big restaurant on the spot.

But Han Meng didn't agree.

After knowing that Qianqian was from the village, she had no intention of letting her spend any money.

She had no other intentions, she just sincerely regarded her as a friend.

Friends, like lovers, can be recognized at first sight.

What else could An Qianqian say?

I'll have to return the favor next time.

Returned to the village with a cart full of high-top shoes.

She won't be needed for what happens next.

The busy farming season comes quickly, and the seedlings will grow up soon after being planted in the fields.

At this time, Mao Jianwen's letter also arrived.

An Qianqian took the letter from the messenger, thanked him, and went back to the house with the letter.
