Chapter 21 County Town



"Gather here at 4 pm. Don't be late. If you are late, find a way to get back by yourself." Uncle Song instructed everyone.

Everyone climbed down from the ox cart and went about their own business. Fu Xiao walked up to Uncle Song, gave him a handful of candies, and walked away without waiting for his reaction.

"This child,"

Uncle Song looked at the three people walking away and put the candy in his pocket without saying anything. He had two little grandsons at home, and it was a good opportunity for him to go back and give it to his grandsons. The captain's family had always taken good care of his family, and he kept it in mind and would take good care of the child in the future.

Xu Yue has been staring at the backs of the three people, with a gloomy face, and I don't know what she is thinking...

The three of them walked all the way from the county town. This county town was very different from what Fu Xiao had imagined. When he was in Shanghai before, it was also very backward, but it was far less impactful than it is now.

Most of the houses in the county town are low. Compared with the countryside, there are fewer mud houses here, more brick houses, and only a few scattered buildings.

Everywhere you look, there are all kinds of quotations on the walls.

Most of the people on the street looked pale and thin, but they were in good spirits.

The few of them did not go to the county party committee compound to find Fu Weilun first, but went to the department store first.

I bought a lot of fabrics, all of them in dark colors, for Grandpa Fu and my uncles and brothers.

She had no shortage of clothes, and they were all good clothes brought from Shanghai. She also bought two pieces of corduroy and two pieces of fine cotton, preparing to ask her aunt to make a set for her.

Maybe people in rural areas are more frugal, she saw that her family members were wearing old clothes.

After a long hesitation, Fu Yu gave up the idea of paying and took out the corresponding money and cloth coupons from his small bag and gave them to the salesperson.

The salesperson packed the fabric and handed it to her with a smile.

As for why the noble salesperson was so nice, it was because she bought a lot of things, and the corresponding salesperson also received a commission.

A few people went to bring Fu Kai a pound of pastries, but they didn't buy any candy.

She couldn't finish all the milk candies made with cow and sheep milk machines in her space.

Anyway, her family didn’t know exactly what was in her suitcase.

She had secretly stuffed five or six kilograms of candy into her suitcase after she got home. The packaging was very simple and had no trace of any later symbols.

Her family members just thought that she bought the candy in Shanghai and did not have any suspicion.

The three of them finally came out of the department store, and the two older brothers were carrying two large packages in their hands.

When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, looked back at her two brothers, and said to them: "Brothers, do you want to buy a bicycle?"

The heavy packages in the hands of the two men reminded them how much their younger sister spent money like water. It’s not that they feel sorry for the money, after all, the family is not short of money, but why is it she who spends the money and they are the ones who are tired?

After hearing her words, the two looked at each other and reminded each other: "Bicycles require tickets."

Fu Xiao took out two bicycle tickets from his bag and waved them in front of the two men, "I have two."

Fu Yu: "Put the things in my uncle's dormitory first. I'll ask my uncle about the bicycle."

"All right"

The department store was very close to the county party committee compound, and the three of them arrived there in about ten minutes.

The person on duty in the guard room knew the two brothers of the Fu family. He showed up and asked Fu Hong to go upstairs to get the key, while Fu Yu and the other two waited at the door.

In less than five minutes, Fu Hong came down with the key. The three of them said goodbye to the person on duty in the guard room and walked towards the county party committee dormitory.

"My uncle said, let's go play first and have lunch together at noon."

When Fu Xiao arrived at the gate of the county party committee dormitory, he was alone chatting with the security guard Grandpa Wang. The two brothers took the packages upstairs, and after a while they came down. Fu Xiao put a handful of candies on Grandpa Wang's table, said goodbye and left.

The three of them went to the largest pharmacy in the county. There was only a woman in her thirties at the front desk. Fu Xiao walked up with a sweet smile on her face, "Hello, sister."

When a child called Chen Huiru "sister", she immediately felt several years younger and asked her happily: "Little girl, do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine?"

"Sister, none of them. I want to ask if we have small bottles for pills for sale here."

Although Chen Huiru was a little surprised that the little girl in front of her came to the drugstore to buy bottles, she told her the truth because first impressions were good. "Little girl, you should ask the old master in the store. I'm just a receptionist."

"Then sister, can you help me ask?" Fu Xiao smiled sweetly.

"Okay, then you wait, I'll go ask for you." After saying that, Chen Huiru walked towards the back room.

"Master Yang, there is a little girl who wants to buy a bottle for pills. Look..."

There was an old man in the room who was grinding medicine. He had a kind face and an elegant temperament, but from the wisdom in his eyes, it could be seen that he was a very smart man.

"The bottle of pills? Bring her in."

After hearing this, Chen Huiru went out and brought the three people in. The room was full of medicine cabinets and only a small table with tools for grinding medicine on it.

"What's the use of buying that thing?" The old man looked at the three people and finally stopped his gaze on Fu Xiao.

Fu Yu felt his gaze and blocked her from the side. "Old man, I bought these things for the adults at home."

Seeing his actions, a smile appeared in the old man's eyes, but he didn't say anything and continued to grind the medicine in his hands.

Fu Xiao saw him grinding the medicine skillfully and secretly leaned out to take a look.

The old man looked up at the right moment and saw her stealing a glance.

He paused slightly in grinding the medicine, then continued.
