Chapter 53: Is that cotton on her shoulders?
According to the original owner's memory, when she was unwilling to marry Tan Chen, Shang Ruolan tried to persuade her a lot. Why did this person change so much in just a few days?
Could it be that there was some hidden secret that she didn't know?
Otherwise, she could not explain why Shang Ruolian had changed so much in just a few days.
Since Shang Ruoting came here, something has been bothering her almost every day. Although there was no major friction today, the incident with Zou Meihua did happen.
She had thought there would be some minor incidents along the way, but it turned out that she was overthinking it...
Shang Ruoting arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative smoothly along the way.
Last time, when the salesperson saw that it was Shang Ruoting coming, he was much more polite.
"Comrade, what are you planning to buy today?"
Shang Ruoting really didn't plan to buy anything this time. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative just to provide cover for taking things out of the space.
"Hehe... Comrade, I wonder if you sell paper bags for packaging or bags for grain."
The salesperson was a little confused at first, but quickly picked up a paper bag of packaged food and showed it to Shang Ruoting.
"Are you talking about this kind of paper bag?"
Shang Ruoting nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's this kind of paper bag."
The salesperson felt very strange when he saw the other party wanted to buy this kind of paper bag.
"The paper bags at the supply and marketing cooperative are all free. If you need one or two, I can give them to you."
Shang Ruoting needs more than just one or two.
"I want both large and small sizes."
The salesperson originally wanted to ease the misunderstanding from last time by giving Shang Ruoting a few paper bags, but in the end, she wanted so many.
"You want too many. How about this? Buy a few and I'll give you a few extra as gifts."
Shang Ruoting didn't want to force her: "Okay, then I'll buy more salt."
She just took a look around and found that salt was very cheap, only one pound, and it wouldn't go bad if she bought more.
"If you buy a pound of salt, I'll give you three paper bags."
Shang Ruoting thought about it and said a little embarrassedly: "Can you give me four bags per kilogram of salt?"
Although the salesperson felt that Shang Ruoting was a little greedy, he still agreed.
"Okay, I'll go weigh the salt for you right away. How many pounds do you want?"
"Ten pounds first!"
The after-sales clerk turned around and went to the counter to put salt into the paper bag, and Shang Ruoting quickly stopped him.
"Comrade, do you have any big bags here? Ten pounds of salt can be put into one bag. Just give me forty paper bags."
The salesperson sighed helplessly, fumbled around inside the counter, and found an extra-large brown paper bag from somewhere. He put all ten kilograms of salt into it, and also gave Shang Ruoting forty paper bags of different sizes.
Shang Ruoting took the salt and the paper bags with satisfaction, and asked the salesperson politely.
"Comrade, do you have any bags of grain for sale?"
The salesperson pointed to the doorway and said, "There are bags of food there. They're recycled. They're 20 cents each."
Shang Ruoting looked in the direction the salesperson pointed, and sure enough, there were a lot of grain bags piled there. Without saying a word, she took out a dollar and gave it to the salesperson: "Comrade, I have the bags."
The salesperson took the money and said, "You can choose whichever one you like."
Shang Ruoting squatted there and chose something that looked clean and had no holes. She said hello to the salesperson and left.
When she was not far from Sihe Village, she found a deserted place and slipped into the space.
Shang Ruoting first filled a bag with cornmeal, which was estimated to be at least 180 kilograms, enough for them to eat for a while.
In addition, there were a lot of jujubes grown in her space stored in the warehouse. She had just seen this kind of thing in the supply and marketing cooperative, so it was not surprising to take it out.
So she filled four paper bags with the ones she had just asked for.
There were also raisins. Although the price at the supply and marketing cooperative was not cheap, they were not a rare item. She packed three bags in smaller bags.
In addition, she packed a paper bag of sugar.
In order to make it easier to carry, Shang Ruoting found a hemp rope in the space and tied all the scattered things together.
After preparing all these, Shang Ruoting carried the bag of cornmeal on her shoulder, and held the newly bought salt and the full paper bags in her hands.
And the pair of cloth shoes she wore when she went out...
Even with the weight of so many things on his body, Shang Ruoting didn't feel it at all.
But, if others see it, it will be a big deal...
Such a petite figure, carrying such a large bag of food on her shoulders and holding something heavy in her hands, looked particularly conspicuous as she walked on the road.
There was no way. Shang Ruoting didn't want to make herself look so weird, but she couldn't just conjure these things up after she got home, right?
Shang Ruoting walked on the muddy path in the village, attracting many inquiring eyes.
"Is this Shang Ruoting?"
“It seems so.”
"Oh my god, is that cotton on her shoulders?"
"It's not cotton, and it can't be something too heavy. Otherwise, her small body would be crushed..."
