Seeing her approach, he greeted her warmly, "Jingjing, come on, there's still one seat left!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing smiled and quickly took a few steps forward, exclaiming, "Hey, you're here!"
Several older women pulled the people up to sit down, then turned to Uncle Niu and said, "Uncle Niu, everyone's here, let's go!"
Uncle Niu exhaled a puff of smoke, responded, knocked off the ash, tucked the pipe into his waistband, and got up to drive the cart.
Along the way, everyone chatted about this and that, and occasionally asked about Bai Yajing's health.
My maternal grandparents' family were all meritorious people. In addition, my maternal grandmother was the village's barefoot doctor. She was very patient in treating villagers' headaches and fevers, and her fees were not expensive. She would only give them a few eggs and small bills. She had a good reputation in the village, so everyone felt sorry for her.
She was born prematurely and was weak. She lost her mother and her father didn't care about her. She was left in the countryside for many years. Most of the villagers were simple and honest people, so most of them treated her well.
Bai Yajing listened attentively from the side, answering questions whenever they came up and occasionally chiming in with a few words of agreement.
Time passed quickly, and when we arrived in town, we first bought train tickets to the provincial capital.
She went to the market today and planned to buy some meat to cook for her grandparents. She's a great cook, especially braised pork, which her two elderly relatives love.
So they went to the supply and marketing cooperative, which was crowded and noisy. Even the usually arrogant sales clerks were unusually flustered, which made Bai Yajing's mouth twitch.
"Line up! Line up! Do you hear me!" Unfortunately, no matter how hoarse the salesperson's voice was, no one listened.
The law does not punish the masses; they can do this because they have a lot of people. They usually have to watch the mood of the sales clerks and have to fawn over them when buying something.
"I'll risk it all for meat!" Bai Yajing gritted her teeth and squeezed in.
"Make way, there's hot water, make way quickly."
Regardless of how others reacted, she kept talking nonsense. When someone heard about hot water, their body gave way before their brain, and she took the opportunity to squeeze in.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Hehe, she apologized, so we can't blame her.
Thanks to her agility, she actually managed to squeeze in.
He shouted at the butcher stall, "Uncle, give me a pound of pork belly!"
"Alright, girl, you've come to buy meat again for your elders. You're so filial!"
She doesn't say she comes to buy meat often, but she comes every few days, plus every big market day. She's also very sweet-talking and likeable, and she often slips snacks to her uncle, so the butcher knows her.
"Uncle Wang, thank you!" She was naturally grateful that they gave her priority in cutting the meat.
Holding six cents and a meat coupon in his hand, he waited for the meat to be handed over, exchanging money for goods.
Having bought the meat, she didn't even bother to look at other shops; she quickly squeezed out, clutching the meat.
He ran his fingers through his hair a few times, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted his breathing.
"I almost lost my shoes! Luckily I managed to buy some." The reason everyone was crowding into the supply and marketing cooperative was because of the purchase limit; even with money, you couldn't buy any tickets that late!
Then I went to the post office.
After receiving the letter of introduction and stating my name, I successfully received a super large package.
Bai Yajing stared in disbelief at the enormous package in front of her. What was her grandfather doing? He never sent packages this big...
Fortunately, she had been working and practicing martial arts for many years and was very strong, so she was able to lift it.
