Seeing her shy look, Shen Lingling knew that she must have something to help with, but she was too embarrassed to speak up, so she answered directly:
"Hey! There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Auntie, let's not talk about the fact that we are from the same village. Just tell me what you want. As long as it's available in the commune, I can bring it back to you."
In other words, Wang Yinhua usually gets along well with them, but if it were someone she wasn't very familiar with, she wouldn't bring up this question.
Seeing Shen Lingling taking on so much responsibility, Wang Yinhua no longer hesitated, took out five yuan from her pocket and handed it to her, saying cheerfully:
"Then please bring some cotton for me. Your sister-in-law is going to give birth in a month. I was thinking of making two cotton-padded jackets for the baby. They will be more comfortable to wear with new cotton!
We don't have enough cotton at home, so I thought I'd ask you to help me go to the market and buy some if there is any.
It’s just that… I don’t have a ticket. It’s okay to spend a little more money when the time comes.
This is all I have. If it’s not enough, you can give it to me first and I’ll give it back to you when I come back.”
Without saying anything, Shen Lingling took the money and put it in her pocket: "Don't worry, Auntie. If there is cotton, we will buy it for you."
Wang Yinhua smiled brightly: "Well! Thank you both so much, come back early to have dinner at home!"
"Okay, let's go then."
"Okay, okay, drive slowly on the road and don't lose the cow!" Wang Yinhua instructed.
Lu Wensheng imitated Grandpa Sun and swung a beautiful whip, waving his hands at her:
"Don't worry, auntie!"
They could lose themselves but not the cow, otherwise the village chief would tear them both to pieces alive!
The ox cart swayed slowly along the way, and the fields were covered with snow. Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling walked towards the commune while humming a song.
The two of them were wrapped up like dumplings. They didn't feel cold at all when the wind blew, but instead felt warm from the sun.
"Driving an ox cart is much more comfortable than driving a tractor. If I drive a tractor, I'll be frozen into a popsicle when I get to the commune."
"Yeah, yeah!" Shen Lingling agreed, took out a piece of pine nut candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Lu Wensheng's mouth and continued on her way...
As they approached the commune, more and more people were walking on the street. Occasionally, they would run into a few members of the production team carrying shoulder poles to sell things. Shen Lingling was a little excited. She hadn't seen such a busy street for a long time.
"Shengsheng, where are we going to put the ox cart later?"
There were a lot of people here today, and she was really worried that if someone wasn't careful the ox cart would get lost.
Lu Wensheng looked at the increasing number of people on the road, and those people looking at his ox cart with envy, and he knew what Shen Lingling was worried about.
Her idea was to put the ox cart directly into the space, which would be safest to carry with her.
So he put his head close to Shen Lingling: "Lingling, can you put living things in your space?"
Shen Lingling's eyes widened when she heard this. Could it be that Shengsheng wanted to...
Seeing this, Lu Wensheng nodded seriously: "Yes, that's what you meant."
Shen Lingling swallowed her saliva, and after being shocked, she shook her head with disappointment: "No, Xiaoguang and my space can only pretend to be dead."
Lu Wensheng looked nonchalant: "Then I'll load the cow and you load the truck, right?"
Shen Lingling nodded blankly, with little stars in her eyes: "Okay..."
Shengsheng is so awesome, he can even pretend to be so awesome?
but……
"But Shengsheng, can you be sure that the cow will still be alive when it comes out?"
If he suffocates to death in that space, it would be better to throw him away.
Lu Wensheng nodded and said, "Of course I guarantee it. I have put chickens, ducks, rabbits, and geese in there before, and they are all alive and well."
As he spoke, he looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he took out a rabbit from the space like a magic trick.
One of them didn't handle it well and actually took out a female rabbit. Looking at the round belly and its transparency, you could tell that it was probably about to give birth.
Shen Lingling looked at Tutu's round belly and was no longer surprised. She hurriedly urged:
"Put it back quickly. It's so cold outside. What if it gets frozen and causes miscarriage?"
Lu Wensheng:……
This damn girl is really out of her mind! Can freezing cause miscarriage?
After the two men had agreed, they drove the ox cart to an empty path. Taking advantage of the cover of rows of haystacks, the two men divided the work, one collecting the oxen and the other collecting the cart.
In an instant, the cow and the cart disappeared from the spot. If it weren't for the deep ruts in the snow, Shen Lingling would have suspected that this was a dream.
Although the space is hers, after using it for so long, she still feels it is magical. How can a place where things can be made to disappear at any time not be magical?
While she was still in a daze, Lu Wensheng had already taken out a bicycle from the space:
"Let's go, get in the car."
Shen Lingling was stunned by her move, and pointed at the bicycle with a trembling hand and said:
"You, you, you...when did you get the bicycle?"
Lu Wensheng said with a sly smile: "Of course it's time to leave in the morning. The commune is so big, we can't just walk around."
The little sister was making a fuss just by seeing a bicycle. If she led the horse out herself, wouldn’t she be furious?
Shen Lingling thought about it and realized it was true, so she followed Shengsheng's example, straddled the bicycle and sat on the back seat.
In this way, the two of them stood out from the crowd where you carried the load and I led the cow.
Just imagine, two beautiful girls riding a brand new bicycle passed by you at lightning speed. Wouldn’t you be envious?
"Mom...Mom, I want a bicycle too..."
"What kind of bicycle do you want? Do I look like a bicycle?"
"Mom, you don't have a bicycle as pretty as yours..."
"You little bastard, I think you're itching for trouble! Damn it, you're just like your damn dad!"
“…”

Finally arriving at the commune, Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling went straight to the commune chemical factory that the village chief had mentioned, as if gypsum was something that could only be found in places like chemical factories.
The security guard of the chemical plant was sitting at the door basking in the sun when he saw two girls rushing towards him on bicycles.
Wow, that speed, I have to say, youth is full of energy!
"Uncle, do you have plaster for sale here?"
Lu Wensheng asked politely after parking his bicycle, and did not forget to give the security guard a handful of melon seeds.
The security guard was just about to open his mouth to say a few perfunctory words to send the man away when he felt the weight in his hand. Wow, it was a whole handful. This must be worth two cents!
