One day, one day, I will step on you.
When Chen Meili saw Zhao Xiaomei's vicious expression, she shuddered in her heart and turned around and ran towards the educated youth point without hesitation.
Zhao Xiaomei was frightened and shouted to Chen Meili, "Sister Meili, why are you running?"
Chen Meili ran while saying, "I have a stomachache. I won't be going to the scrap collection station today. You go by yourself."
It’s terrible. Zhao Xiaomei is really terrible.
She felt that Zhao Xiaomei was scary when she put the accusation on Uncle Zhang before. Now seeing Zhao Xiaomei staring at Song Yun with such a vicious look, she no longer wanted to be with Zhao Xiaomei. It is better to stay away from such a person.
In the end, Zhao Xiaomei didn't make it to the scrap collection station. Instead, she followed two newly arrived female educated youth to Liu's house to buy a wooden chest for a suitcase, but ultimately, they didn't buy anything. She liked a chest Liu had made, offering labor and materials, no invoice required, for five yuan. Zhao Xiaomei thought it was too expensive and haggled over the price, making a series of irrelevant remarks. This completely infuriated Liu, who kicked Zhao Xiaomei out, leaving the other two female educated youth feeling embarrassed and failing to buy anything either.
On the other side, Song Yun took Uncle Zhang's ox cart to the neighboring Huangmei Village. Uncle Zhang took her to Uncle Li's house, who knew how to make water jars and earthenware pots. When they arrived at the place, they found out that Uncle Li and Uncle Zhang were related. As soon as the two old men met, they gathered together and talked about their private family, and it seemed that they had a very close relationship.
The person who greeted Song Yun was Uncle Li's daughter-in-law. She was in her forties, not very tall, and her words and movements were full of vigor. "You must be a newly arrived educated youth, right? You're so handsome! I've never seen anyone as handsome as you in all the surrounding area."
He first praised her, then took Song Yun to the backyard, where various large and small newly-fired pottery jars, pots, basins and other common pottery were placed. They were not exquisite in appearance, and could even be said to be rough, but they were very practical.
Song Yun directly asked for two large water tanks and five pottery jars of different sizes. This kind of pottery jars are prone to cracking after long use, so she bought a few more as backup. She also took twenty pottery bowls and plates, two pottery basins, and a few jars for storing pickles in winter.
Seeing Song Yun's generosity, Aunt Li was so happy that her mouth stretched from ear to ear. In the end, she collected twenty-nine yuan and gave Song Yun a teapot that she had hidden in her room. It was a new style made by her father and had some flaws, but she planned to keep it for herself. Her father was so happy that she gave it to Song Yun generously.
The teapot, on the other hand, caught Song Yun's eye. This teapot looked inconspicuous, but was very practical, just what her parents needed.
"Do you have any more teapots like this? I want to buy two more."
At this time, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li had finished talking. They walked to the backyard and just heard what Song Yun said. Uncle Li immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, these are things I just made casually. Your son bought more, so I'll give you two more." Then he went to a small wooden house in the corner of the yard and took out two similar pottery pots. They were simple and crude in appearance, but very practical.
Someone liked the new gadgets he made, and Uncle Li was happier than anything else. He helped load the things into the car with his hands and feet numb, and then accompanied them all the way to the village entrance before leaving.
Song Yun smiled and said to Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Li is so kind. It's thanks to you that I got a lot of discount today."
Song Yun glanced at the pipe tied with a hemp rope at Uncle Zhang's waist. The pipe was damaged and there was no pipe hanging on it. It was obvious that he had not smoked for a long time.
She took out two bags of Daqianmen rice that she had prepared in advance and quietly put them into the cloth bag that Uncle Zhang wore on his body to hold dry food and water.
