Chapter 171 Two-in-one

Xu Lai Di’s problem is really hard to resolve.

It was no use reporting to the police. Instead, she was threatened by the Liu family, who said they would also report her to the police for embezzling the Liu family's heirloom.

Xu Laidi had no way to defend herself and she didn't even know how she returned in a daze.

After she returned home, she just cried and did nothing.

Song Wei didn't have time to gossip about Xu Lai Di because she had more important things to do.

Song Jing is leaving.

She stuffed all the packed bags and small items into his hands, along with a jar of wine made from wild ginseng.

The wild ginseng that Song Wei brought back was over three hundred years old and was made into wine by Mr. Ji.

"Brother, take all these things back and eat them. Send me a letter after you finish eating. The Ping An Brigade is backed by such a large mountain range that it is easy for me to go in and find some food."

She has the confidence to say such things.

Song Jing was worried and reminded her to be careful.

Song Wei nodded: "I know, I know, I'm very strong."

Song Jing shut up when he thought of his sister beating an adult wild boar to death with her bare hands.

His sister is even better than him.

"You can take this smoked wild boar leg with you."

She never ate the wild boar leg she was given, so she asked Lin Zhen to marinate it according to a recipe she remembered, and then smoke it, so that she could pack it for her brother to take away.

Song Jing looked at her moving like she was moving house and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Keep the food for yourself. There is food in the army and I will definitely not starve."

Song Wei: "Not being hungry and eating well are two different things. Take the wild boar leg with you. There is a lot of game in the mountains. If I want to eat it, I can catch more myself."

Song Jing: "There are too many things and I can't carry them all."

He said helplessly, "It's not safe on the train. With so many things, you'll be too conspicuous and easy to be targeted."

Although he is quite skilled, those kinds of thieves usually commit crimes in gangs.

Song Wei frowned as he looked at the pile of things he had prepared.

“That’s right.”

With so many things, isn't it clear that others can just go and rob him?

It’s better not to take risks.

Seeing that she was a little relented, Song Jing was about to say that he wanted to leave all these things behind, but Song Wei said, "Then let's mail them."

Song Jing: …………

His sister was determined to send him so many things. Song Jing felt helpless but also warm in his heart.

His sister is so nice.

It just makes a good deal for someone.

Lin Zhen, who was helping to pack up, sneezed loudly.

"I have a cold?"

He felt his body and found nothing wrong with it except his legs! Song Jing was gone.

Song Wei and Lin Zhen sent the person to the train station together.

As the train slowly started, Song Jing stuck his head out of the train window to say goodbye to them.

"Take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you when I have some time off!"

Song Wei nodded and answered loudly: "Got it!"

After answering, she sniffed and realized that there were tears in her eyes.

She was reluctant to part with this brother who was so kind to her.

Lin Zhen put his arm around her from behind and patted her shoulder. He was restrained and polite, but Song Wei felt his comfort.

Now they are in the city because this is the only place with trains.

This place is much more prosperous than the town, and there is even a department store.

Now that you are here, you have to buy something before leaving.

So after being sad for a while, Song Wei took Lin Zhen to the department store to buy things.

"Comrade, how much is this scarf?"

"Please show me the price of this wine."

"Comrade, this cotton-padded jacket..."

The department store has a more complete range of goods than the supply and marketing cooperative, and the space is large enough to accommodate many people to buy things.

It is divided into different cargo areas, and there are salespeople in each area.

This place is different from supermarkets in later generations. You still cannot take what you want by yourself. You need the salesperson to help you get it.

Song Wei visited many places with great interest, and when he came out again he must have been carrying a lot of things in his hands.

The scarf was too expensive, so she simply bought several different types of wool and planned to go back and try to knit a few scarves.

The cotton-padded jackets were made of solid material and came in only a few styles, but she still bought one for Lin Zhen and Heidan.

Heidan only had one new cotton-padded jacket and one that he had remade from his brother's old cotton-padded jacket, which was very little.

Lin Zhen doesn't have many cotton-padded clothes.

She herself has three pieces, so it's no problem for her to wear them in turns.

“Try this.”

Song Wei was holding a black cotton coat.

The cotton-padded jackets at that time looked like those worn by old men, but they were warm.

And when worn by Lin Zhen, the clothes instantly looked high-end.

Song Wei's eyes lit up: "That's it."

Lin Zhen's heart was pounding: "You bought it for me? This is not cheap."

Although he said that, he still smiled with his big white teeth, and his fierce-looking face revealed a bit of silliness.

Of course, Lin Zhen is only like this in front of Song Wei.

Song Wei said: "I still have some money, just two pieces of clothing."

If she loses it, she can just earn more. As long as she has food to eat, she doesn’t take money too seriously.

"This should be suitable for Heidan."

Then she set her eyes on two red ropes with small wooden signs hanging on them.

The small wooden sign is a decoration and has carvings on one side.

"Take this back for the two little ones."

This is a hairband that girls use to tie their hair. Song Wei thought that the two wolf cubs were now members of the family, so she had to bring them some gifts when she returned.

Lin Zhen stared at the red cotton coat and asked the salesperson to take it off while Song Wei was choosing biscuits.

"Song Wei, come here and try this."

Song Wei turned her head to look at him, her pair of black and white eyes sparkling and full of spirit.

"What?"

"I still have three cotton-padded clothes, which are enough for this winter."

Lin Zhen: “Let’s give it a try.”

Song Wei glanced at him, and finally nodded and went over to try it on.

The fabric of this dress is not bright red, but more like burgundy, a little darker.

Wearing it made her fair face look even rosier, making her even more beautiful.

Lin Zhen felt that his heartbeat was abnormal, very fast! "It looks good."

He stared at Song Wei, but at this moment he was tongue-tied and could only utter two dry words with red ears.

Song smiled, and this smile was even brighter.

The people around were all envious. They also liked this color, but it was too expensive and not everyone could afford it.

"Saleswoman, I want one like the one she's wearing, too."

A woman's eyes immediately lit up when she saw how beautiful Song Wei looked in that outfit.

Salesperson: "Sorry, we only have the one she's wearing."

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "She hasn't paid yet, I want the one she's wearing."

Song Wei: …………

She's still wearing it.

Lin Zhen didn't say anything, but turned around and greeted the salesperson: "I want the clothes, please issue the invoice."

The woman was a little bit relentless: "It was obviously me who asked for it first, please be reasonable."

Lin Zhen just glanced over.

The woman was frightened by him and took a step back. It was true that when Lin Zhen didn't smile, his face looked really fierce, and there seemed to be hostility between his brows.

Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to be silently expressing, "I'm just unreasonable, so what!"

Before she could react, Lin Zhen had already taken Song Wei to pay the bill.

The woman came to her senses and became angry and embarrassed. She stamped her feet with a red face, but she didn't dare to go up and cause trouble.

Because if she finds fault, she will obviously be the only one who suffers.

Song Wei poked his waist with her elbow: "You are awesome."

Lin Zhen smiled: "If I can't even protect you in this regard, how can I be your partner?"

The two of them bought a lot of things in this department store and used up a lot of tickets.

When leaving, Lin Zhen stood at the watch shop and took a few looks. He felt that one of the watches was very suitable for Song Wei.

Unfortunately, there are no watch tickets now.

…………

After returning to town, Song Wei did not forget another thing she had to do.

Buy a large tank.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Used to pickle sauerkraut.

Although everyone is actively eating melons during this period, no one will forget the real work because of eating melons.

Although eating melons is good, your own stomach is also important.

Lin Zhen's foot could barely touch the ground, but he walked with a limp.

Mr. Qin's acupuncture and the 300-year-old wild ginseng wine are still very effective.

However, in order to avoid any defects, Song Wei still let him use crutches.

Lin Zhen was tall and wore a military coat, so he attracted a lot of attention along the way.

I was amazed at first sight: what a tall young man, wearing a military coat, looking so smart.

I was a little scared at the second glance: why does the boy look so fierce?

Third Eye Sympathy: What a pity he is a cripple.

However, Lin Zhen did not take those gazes to heart. He simply pretended not to see them.

At this moment, he was watching Song Wei bargaining with the salesperson to buy a large jar.

With him standing behind him, the usually arrogant salesperson was now very obedient, and even dared not speak loudly when bargaining with Song Wei.

Finally, Song Wei bought the big jar at a suitable price as he wished.

They are all as high as her waist and she can sit in them completely.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the salesperson and the people around him, he bent down and lifted the large jar.

"let's go."

Lin Zhen followed her with a backpack on his back and a normal expression on his face, which naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way.

But this time, most people's eyes were on Song Wei, and some people's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets because they were so surprised.

They also went to a state-owned restaurant with such a big jar, and Lin Zhen bought a lot of steamed buns and carried them in one hand.

Along the way, the two of them walked to the entrance of the town like a conspicuous bag, and then got on the ox cart.

The old man driving the ox cart had been waiting here as agreed long ago, and he even forgot to smoke his pipe when he saw Song Wei.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's go back now."

Lin Zhen handed two steamed buns to the old man.

"Uncle Wang, you eat."

Then he stuffed a steaming meat bun into Song Wei's mouth.

Song Wei sat in the car, and the air he exhaled turned into white mist.

She held the bun and started to eat it.

The big bun makes her delicate and pretty face look a little smaller.

But she ate the buns quite quickly. She stuffed them into her mouth in a few bites, making her cheeks round with stuffing.

Lin Zhen also finished a white flour bun in just a few bites.

The two of them held the big vat, and the ox cart slowly swayed back.

"If we weren't good friends, I really wouldn't want to come out in this cold weather."

The old man touched the cow's butt with heartache, staring at the wheel marks left on the snow with envy in his tone.

"This cow is not like a machine. It eats some gasoline and is not afraid of freezing or getting tired. It can still run so fast."

Song Wei and Lin Zhen also looked towards the wheel marks.

“It’s a tractor.”

"Yes, it must be from Fuxing Brigade. Among the brigades around us, only Fuxing Brigade has a tractor. When can our brigade apply to buy one?"

As he said this, the old man shook his head and continued driving the ox cart towards the Ping'an Brigade.

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, took the old man's words to heart.

Tractor? Maybe he really has a way.

But he didn't plan to say it until things were confirmed.

After returning to the village, Song Wei was still carrying the big jar and walking in front. She directly delivered the jar to the private plot in the backyard.

"Why is there no one here?"

Because they had to send her brother off, they got up very early today, around four in the morning, and took a ox cart to the town. Then they asked Lin Zhen for help and got a large truck to take them to the city to take the train.

Even Sufang isn't here.

Song Wei didn't think much about it, and went to his great-grandfather's house with Lin Zhen to bring Heidan and the two wolf cubs back.

"Brother, Sister Song!"

Heidan was originally playing with a few friends, but when he saw Song Wei and Lin Zhen, he immediately abandoned his friends and rushed over.

Song Wei caught the person, and the two howling little wolf cubs also ran over excitedly.

The blue eyes look pretty.

"I brought you a present, go eat it with your friends."

She took out a few White Rabbit candies.

This thing is a rare commodity, a top-quality sugar.

Heidan was spinning with joy.

Several friends gathered around him and looked at him eagerly. They were all little guys that Song Wei was familiar with, Shuanzi, as well as the two children from the team leader's family and several children from Grandpa Lin Zhen's family.

They are all close people.

Under Song Wei's influence, Heidan is still very protective of his food when facing strangers, but is more generous to his close friends.

So everyone was given one.

The little guy said seriously: "You should thank my sister Song and brother, they bought this."

The children were very well behaved and said in unison: "Thank you Sister Song Wei, thank you Brother Lin Zhen."

"So good."

She still likes obedient children.

I originally wanted to touch the children’s heads, but when I saw the mud on their faces and their wet clothes.

Song Wei: …………

Well, being well behaved only seems to be temporary.

"Your clothes are all wet, go inside quickly."

After getting the candies, the little ones stopped playing mischievously and ran to the main room.

Great-grandfather and great-grandmother were also there, and the way they looked at Song Wei and Lin Zhen was so kind.

Especially after seeing Lin Zhen take out a bottle of wine.

When my great grandfather is greedy, he likes to drink a little wine.

Most men here like to drink, and they like to drink strong liquor.

The grandmother glared at her old man and said, "You are still thinking about this at your age. The village doctor said you can't eat these things."

The old man's face immediately fell: "I didn't drink much, just a little bit."

"That won't work either."

The grandmother returned the wine to Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, you are young, take it back and drink it yourself. This stuff is not cheap."

Lin Zhen: "I gave this to my uncle and cousin. You can keep it. We have more at home."

"What is left for us? Lin Zhen is here."

A rough voice came from outside. The middle-aged man walked into the room and his eyes lit up when he saw the wine on the table.

"Where did this good stuff come from? Lin Zhen is also drinking a cup!"

The two younger guys who followed him in were delighted when they saw the same type of wine.

Song Wei: It seems that this gift touched their hearts.
