The young salesperson was dumbfounded. "Comrade, each person is limited to buying one piece of defective cloth."
"Then I want this one." Du Xiaoying quickly took out fifty cents.
The group of aunts and young wives finally reacted and became so angry that their faces turned red and they pointed at Du Xiaoying and started cursing.
"Why are you like this? Isn't this a lie?"
"She did it on purpose! How could she be so mean?"
.....
Du Xiaoying, who had caused public outrage, looked at the many fingers that were about to poke her face, tilted her head back without blushing or feeling any nervousness.
"What's wrong? I just remembered that I lost the money myself~"
"you--"
Except for the salesperson who was watching the fun and the two older sisters who had just squeezed in behind Du Xiaoying, the rest of the people were so angry that they were afraid of missing out, so they hurriedly squeezed in again.
Du Xiaoying walked slowly to the grocery counter and grinned at the stunned salesperson, "Comrade, do you have malted milk?"
The salesperson nodded rapidly, "Ah? Yes, yes, yes."
Many people looked over curiously. Malted milk was a precious commodity these days, and ordinary families could not afford to buy it.
Looking at the woman whose clothes were washed white and full of patches, I secretly exclaimed - don't judge a person by his appearance!
"Comrade, malted milk is 5 yuan a bottle. Are you sure you want it?"
"So expensive!" Du Xiaoying gasped. Her man's salary of 45 yuan was gone just by buying nine bottles of malted milk?
But when she thought of her skinny daughters, she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, "Give me a can first!"
Meeting the salesperson's strange look, he frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Comrade, you still have to give me the malted milk ticket."
Du Xiaoying slapped her forehead, forgetting about it. She took the money back from the salesperson with a smile and said, "Well, I'm sorry, comrade. I'll buy it next time when I get the ticket."
She didn't think it was shameful that she couldn't afford it. She smiled, thanked the salesperson, and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
He didn't notice the disappointed and contemptuous looks from those watching behind him.
"I thought I was so awesome, but now I don't have a ticket and I want to buy malted milk. What a wishful thinking."
.....
"Sister, this cloth is so good. This little flaw doesn't matter at all." Li Hong's face was full of envy.
Du Xiaoying said regretfully, "Sister Hong, I was lucky. I happened to hear my two sisters-in-law talking about it on the way. Fortunately, I have sharp ears. It's a pity that they have limited quantities. Otherwise, I would definitely buy a few more pieces and bring some to you as well."
Although Li Hong felt sorry, she also knew that most people couldn't get the defective cloth, which didn't require a ticket and was much cheaper. This girl was really lucky to have gotten it.
.....
When Du Xiaoying returned to the brigade, it was already time to get off work. Many elderly people and children were chatting and enjoying the cool air at the village entrance.
"Da Ya's mother is back. How's the city? Is it okay?"
"Oh, I really envy you. The farthest place we've ever been in our lives is the commune..."
"Yes, it was so big that I almost couldn't find the way. The bus ride alone cost me several cents, which is enough to buy more than a pound of pork."
Du Xiaoying looked distressed. "Then I'll go back first. I didn't earn any work points today, and I spent a lot of money."
Liu Lanhua's eyes twinkled. "I don't know what good things this woman bought in the city."
Du Xiaoying went back home, put down her things, drank some water, and went up the mountain with her backpack.
Erya saw it with her sharp eyes and waved excitedly, "Mom, our mom is back."
Du Xiaoying glanced at her daughters' rosy little faces and asked, "Since Mom is not here, the Song family didn't bully you, did they?"
The sisters shook their heads at the same time.
Arya raised her little fist, "How dare they!"
"Mom, look."
Du Xiaoying followed Erya's gaze and noticed the sneaky Liu Lanhua. She sneered, "Just watch."
As the sisters watched curiously, Du Xiaoying picked up a piece of dry cow dung, picked up a piece of wet cow dung, and threw it hard into the grass behind her.
"ah--"
A scream and a thud accompanied the sound of something falling, which frightened the birds in the jungle so much that they flapped their wings and ran away.
"Hahaha...."
After returning home, Daya and Erya took their two younger sisters to review their homework, while Wuya squatted on the ground, holding a branch and writing and drawing.
Du Xiaoying held the "Tractor Maintenance Manual" and read it with great difficulty, stumbling over it as she glanced through it.
hiss~
There are many words I don’t recognize.
I took a deep breath and could only look up the words in the dictionary one by one and then mark the pinyin.
Looking at these words that were familiar to her but she didn't recognize, she felt like her head was going bald.
My head is also dizzy and I feel sleepy.
"Let me do it." Song Guoliang took the brand new book and said, "If you don't know anything, I'll mark it for you first."
"Huh? Oh."
Du Xiaoying looked at the man holding the pencil in his slender hand, tilted his head, and pointed out the words he didn't recognize one by one. Looking at the page of paper that was densely marked, her face turned red.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "Am I a little...stupid?"
"No!" Song Guoliang quickly denied it, lowering his eyes and saying seriously.
"Don't be discouraged, take your time, and you are already very good. You have learned pinyin and know many characters.
Let's do it together. I'll mark the words I know first, and then we'll look up the words we don't know in the dictionary."
"Yeah!" Du Xiaoying nodded heavily, lowering her eyes to look at the two men's arms tightly pressed together. The man's arms were muscular and with clear lines, and her old face couldn't help but get even hotter.
Song Guoliang glanced at the slender white neck, his Adam's apple rolled and his ears burned.
Du Xiaoying covered her hot old face with her hands and reached out to pull the book over, but suddenly a pair of big hands came up.
