Chapter 34 Going to the County



"Grandma, these are the wild duck eggs I saw on the mountain. They are the most nutritious. You and my grandfather can eat one a day. When you are done, I will go up the mountain to pick some for you."

Grandma Xu's eyebrows were furrowed. Not to mention whether it was easy to pick up wild duck eggs, just looking at her granddaughter's face, she felt like the sun had risen from the west.

Is this still her granddaughter? Why does she feel like a different person? However, she likes this personality. Although Grandma Xu likes it, she still speaks coldly: "Well, put it here!"

"Grandma, isn't my grandpa at home?"

"I'm out and I'm home alone. What's the matter?" asked Grandma Xu. Her younger generations were like mice seeing a cat when they saw her and her husband.

If you can avoid meeting, then don't meet. This girl must have something to ask for if she comes now.

Xu Ying chuckled and said, "You are my grandmother. You can tell what I am thinking just by looking at me.

Grandma, I want to go to the county town and see if I can find a job. My brain is getting rusty from sitting idle at home all day."

It's not rusty, otherwise why would she be attracted to Dong Wenzhong's pretty boy? Grandma Xu adjusted her glasses and told her to fart quickly.

"I want to ride a bike!" Xu Ying blinked.

Grandma Xu couldn't bear to watch and pointed to the backyard.

Xu Ying immediately ran to the backyard and soon came out pushing her bicycle: "Grandma, I'll come back to buy you something to eat."

After saying that, she rode away on her bicycle.

Xu Ying arrived at the county town and started pushing her bicycle around.

The county town is several times larger than their commune, and there are several factories around it.

Xu Ying planned to go to the department store first and then visit the nearby factory.

She rode her bike towards the department store according to her memory. Although the shortcut she took was narrow, it was convenient.

Before I reached the department store, I just turned a corner and passed an alley when I saw a man and a woman arguing.

"Zhang Debao, what do you want to do? I told you that we are not suitable." The woman looked panicked. Looking at the man in front of her with a distorted smile, she felt a chill in her heart.

"Gu Fuying, I really like you. My feelings for you are evident to all. Please give me a chance." The man's smile was creepy.

Gu Fuying was so scared that she got goose bumps all over her body. She waited for the right moment and wanted to run away from the path behind the man, but she didn't expect that the man had been staring at her.

The moment Gu Fuying rushed over, he opened his arms.

"Get out of the way." Xu Ying said, and kicked the man on the butt.

Gu Fuying dodged to the side and the man fell face down on the ground.

He wailed in pain: "Who, which little jerk dared to kick me?"

Xu Ying not only kicked him, but also kicked him hard on the back: "What's the point of bullying a woman?"

After saying that, she put one foot on the man's hand and twisted it hard. These hands were not honest. What's the point of keeping them?

Gu Fuying was a little frightened when she saw this violent scene, but afterwards she looked at Xu Ying with gratitude: "Thank you, girl."

Xu Ying waved her hand and frowned: "Don't go to this corner alone in the future. It's too dangerous."

Gu Fuying also wanted to say, "What about you? Why are you leaving here?", but when she thought of Xu Ying's move, she consciously shut her mouth.

She looked at Xu Ying with admiration: "Sister, I saw that you were not very old, but I didn't expect you to know Kung Fu, you are really amazing!"

Xu Ying's lips curled up when she was praised like this. That was a must. She had been in the apocalypse for so many years, and she didn't kill zombies in vain.

But he had to be modest: "It's just a minor incident."

"My name is Gu Fuying. What's your name?" Gu Fuying asked Xu Ying after coming out.

"My name is Xu Ying."

"Your name is so nice, just as pretty as you are!"

Gu Fuying continued, "I work at the supply and marketing cooperative. You can come and visit me if you have time. By the way, where are you from?"

Gu Fuying is like a chatterbox, he never stops talking.

Xu Ying answered them one by one.

When she heard that Xu Ying was going to the supply and marketing cooperative, she smiled and said, "Let's go. I'm familiar with the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll take you there and you can buy some cheap defective goods."

When Xu Ying heard this, she raised her eyebrows. There was such a good thing.

Those goods that the supply and marketing cooperatives say are defective are actually not much different from normal goods. They may be slightly imperfect in some places, so they are marked down and become defective goods, but this does not affect their use at all.

"Yingying, what are you doing in the county town?" Gu Fuying asked curiously.

"I want to wander around and see if I can find a job," Xu Ying said.

When Gu Fuying saw it, his eyes widened immediately, and he patted his chest and said, "Yingying, leave this matter to me. My parents know a lot of people, I'll ask them to help you ask."

Xu Ying shook her head. She and Gu Fuying had just met and were not familiar enough to ask others to find a job for them.

Moreover, it is difficult to find a job nowadays. Not only do you need connections but you also need money.

"Thank you, but I can take a look myself." The two of them said as they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.

After Gu Fuying brought her in, he began to ask her what she needed.

Xu Ying wanted a few thermoses, and preferably a flashlight.

Autumn is coming soon and the weather is starting to turn cloudy. If there is a kettle, we can have hot water to drink at home. A flashlight is something Xu Ying must have.

Many places in the countryside have no electricity. Yushan Commune is okay, as it has electricity, but almost every household is reluctant to use it.

There was no light in the Xu family's yard. Last time she went to the toilet at night, she almost fell into the pit.

Today's toilets are very simple, with the septic tank exposed outside. Xu Ying felt scared when she thought about how she almost fell into it that day.

"Fuying, does our supply and marketing cooperative have any defective thermoses and flashlights?" Xu Ying looked embarrassed, mainly because she didn't have an industrial ticket.

"I have a flashlight, but I'm not sure about the thermos. Come with me to take a look." Gu Fuying pulled Xu Ying, looking like real sisters.

When other store clerks at the supply and marketing cooperative saw Gu Fuying, they all greeted her with a smile.

Xu Ying guessed that Gu Fuying might have some connections in his family.

Gu Fuying took her to the warehouse at the back: "Sister Zhang, do we have flashlights and thermoses? We want the ones that don't require tickets."

As soon as she said this, the warehouse keeper immediately knew what was going on. He took two people to rummage around in the back for a while and successfully found a thermos and a flashlight.

Gu Fuying was still worried that Xu Ying didn't have enough money, so she took out some money and started to pay the bill.

Xu Ying couldn't let her pay, so she quickly stopped her and took out the money: "I have money."

Gu Fuying then gave up and proposed to invite Xu Ying to her home for dinner to express her gratitude for saving her life.

But Xu Ying still had things to do, so she refused: "Let's wait until next time. I'll come to your house when I'm free next time. If you're free, you can also come to my house to play with me."

Gu Fuying saw that she really had something to do and agreed with a disappointed look on his face.

Xu Ying left the supply and marketing cooperative, rode her bicycle to a deserted place again, and threw the thermos and flashlight directly into the space.

Then I rode my bike to the surrounding factories.

On the way, they met the man who bullied Gu Fuying. When he saw Xu Ying, he ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.
