After we came in, the old lady didn't say much; it was mostly Da Niu talking non-stop.
While taking out the things he brought, he explained what they were and how much they weighed.
This appearance is quite endearing.
Lin Xiaoxiao put away all the things they brought before speaking to them: "Auntie, this malted milk powder costs 40 yuan a whole can outside."
“I’ve opened a whole jar of malted milk powder and drunk it several times. I’ll just pour half of it over to you. You can give me something worth 20 yuan, but you don’t need to give me any receipts.”
Is this okay?
"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Lin Zhiqing. We wouldn't have been able to buy such good things without you. Thank you so much..."
As the old woman was speaking, she was about to kneel down before Lin Xiaoxiao, but Lin Xiaoxiao quickly helped her up.
"Auntie, if you do this, I'll shorten my lifespan. And besides, you can't come like this now, what if someone sees us..."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't explain herself clearly, but the old lady immediately realized what was going on. Her face turned pale, and she quickly straightened her legs.
She hadn't considered this. You can't make such a mistake these days. If someone really saw it, wouldn't it ruin such a good educated youth?
Just then, Da Niu's grandfather arrived. As soon as he entered, he handed the things he was carrying to Lin Xiaoxiao and kept saying thank you.
Grandpa Wang was even happier when he heard Lin Xiaoxiao calculate the price for them according to the supply and marketing cooperative's rates.
Malted milk powder is something that's hard to buy even if they have the money. Every time it's put out at the supply and marketing cooperative, it's snapped up.
If you can't buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative, you can only go to the black market. But once something enters the black market, the price is doubled, and you might not even have it every time you ask.
That's why they were so grateful to Lin Xiaoxiao when they heard that she was selling at the original price and not charging tickets.
Lin Xiaoxiao's price was very fair; the goose was priced at 1.5 yuan per jin (500 grams). They had already weighed it when they arrived, and it weighed 6.5 jin.
The old lady wanted to say that 6 jin would be fine, but Lin Xiaoxiao didn't agree; she insisted on the correct weight.
The goose cost 9.75 yuan, and the firewood on the side wasn't worth much, but Lin Xiaoxiao still charged it 50 cents.
The old man on the side was unhappy, saying that this kind of firewood could be found as long as you went into the mountains, and it wasn't worth 50 cents at all.
The old man immediately set the price at two cents, and they firmly refused to accept any more.
They already benefited from not needing ration coupons by exchanging malted milk powder, so how could they continue to benefit from firewood?
Hearing them say this, Lin Xiaoxiao did not insist on giving them 5 mao.
No matter how much money it costs, it doesn't matter to her. But these things show that Da Niu's family is a very honest family.
They are all good people.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't take their money, but bought all their mountain products and calculated the price.
Lin Xiaoxiao then took out a certain amount of malted milk powder.
Since there were no jars at home, Da Niu immediately ran back to get a clean one.
When Lin Xiaoxiao fell, she deliberately poured more over herself.
This left the elderly man standing nearby speechless.
With tears welling up in her eyes, the old woman couldn't help but say to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Lin Zhiqing, we will remember your kindness. If anyone bullies you in Wangjia Village..."
"Just tell your auntie, and she'll definitely take care of those bastards for you."
"We may not have any other skills, but we do have a lot of strength!"
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed.
As the group was talking, Captain Wang's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Is Lin, the educated youth, home?"
"Uncle, I'm here. Please come in." Lin Xiaoxiao came out and replied.
Captain Wang was very efficient; he quickly found five strong men to help her repair the house.
There were two people repairing the fence, and others responsible for repairing doors and windows. Because of the team leader's connections, they started working today.
Since Lin Xiaoxiao had nothing, Captain Wang had already told them that if there was no meal included, it would cost 90 cents, and if there was a meal included, it would cost 70 cents.
After discussing the repairs and maintenance with Captain Wang, Lin Xiaoxiao gave the money directly to Captain Wang.
Let Captain Wang handle the allocation himself.
After Lin Xiaoxiao gave him the money, Captain Wang said gratefully, "I'm really sorry to have troubled you this time, Captain."
She glanced at them and saw that these young people were all very efficient and capable; they were indeed excellent workers.
Captain Wang waved his hand modestly.
Captain Wang chatted with Da Niu and the others for a bit, and after hearing about Lin Xiaoxiao and their story, he had an even better impression of Lin Xiaoxiao.
Hearing this, the burly man next to her also had a good impression of Lin Xiaoxiao, and he worked even more carefully.
After resolving these matters, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly packed her things, slung a basket over her shoulder, and went out.
Today I'll go to town to see if I can find any piston plates.
After walking for a few minutes, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the village entrance to take an oxcart. The oxcarts to the town all departed at 10 a.m. and arrived at their destination quickly.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw Uncle Ganzi sitting on the front of the car smoking, with three educated youths and two or three older women sitting behind him.
After Lin Xiaoxiao arrived, she nodded to the other educated youth. Uncle Ganzi saw Lin Xiaoxiao and smiled, saying:
"Is Lin, the educated youth, going to town? Come on, get in. We can leave now that everyone is here."
"It costs 2 cents per person to take an oxcart to town. You have to pay first before you get on the cart."
This cow doesn't belong to Uncle Ganzi; it belongs to the village collective. So, the money Uncle Ganzi makes from hauling people around all goes to the village.
Lin Xiaoxiao had heard Uncle Ganzi mention this yesterday, so she had prepared the money beforehand and held the 2 cents in her hand.
As soon as Uncle Ganzi mentioned it, Lin Xiaoxiao gave her the money.
When Lin Xiaoxiao got on the oxcart, two more educated youths, Li Mei and Wang Xue, arrived. After they got on, the entire oxcart was full.
The older women on the oxcart were all sizing up these newly arrived educated youth.
One of the older women had an incredibly loud voice, which drew the attention of everyone on the bus: "I have to admit, you city folks are just different."
"Girls have delicate skin, and boys have delicate skin too. The conditions in the city are really good."
