Lian Xiaomin got up, put on her clothes, changed back into the clothes she wore yesterday, then got off the kang and went out to look for Yufang.
As soon as I opened the door, I could smell the aroma of rice porridge and the fragrance of fried dishes.
"Xiaomin, you're awake. You must be hungry. I don't think there are any other dishes, but there are a lot of eggs. I'll make you some scrambled eggs with green onions. It will be delicious with rice porridge."
When Sun Xuefeng's family left, they took away all the perishable things. There was nothing else to eat in the yard except the bags of grain.
Five pounds of eggs and a bundle of green onions were quietly put into the utility room by Lian Xiaomin when she came in yesterday.
"Have you eaten this morning? You wouldn't be stupid enough to wait for me to eat with you, would you? Haha."
Yufang also grinned: "Am I that stupid? I've been waiting for you until I'm as hungry as a salted fish. I've eaten, and the ones left for you are in the pot. I'll go get them."
Lian Xiaomin helped to carry the bowls and plates back to the kang table in Yufang's room and placed them on the table.
"Oh, it smells so good, I'm so hungry!"
I couldn't help it, so I quickly grabbed the chopsticks and slurped the food into my mouth. When you're hungry, everything tastes delicious.
While eating, I suddenly thought of wool and cloth.
Give it to Yufang after you finish eating.
I took a bite of egg and a bite of rice porridge and kept myself full. This time I finished everything.
"Is it enough? I didn't dare to do more. It was too hot to keep it."
Lian Xiaomin took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and quickly waved her hand.
"That's enough. I'm almost full. By the way, I'll go get you the wool and cloth that Grandma Qin asked for."
She got off the kang and walked slowly to her room next door. She was so full that it was a little difficult for her to walk.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yufang was not seeing, he took out a white cloth bag from the space, which was about the size of a flour bag.
Yufang's twenty-seven yuan is equivalent to her uncle's monthly salary. If she puts it on the black market, she can only buy about five kilograms of wool yarn at most. And she needs to be a conscientious seller. She can get more acrylic yarn.
If you have a ticket, the supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls will be much cheaper, but most people don’t have tickets, so the prices on the black market are really unbelievable.
Lian Xiaomin packed eight kilograms of wool yarn. Depending on the thickness, it could be used to knit three or four sweaters.
Four pounds of brown and four pounds of dark green. Military green is the most popular color now, but this wool is a little darker, dirt-resistant and good-looking.
I thought of how Grandma Qin took fifteen yuan to buy cotton cloth and got eight meters of gray cloth.
The cloth bag was already stuffed full, so she took it directly and placed it on the kang for Yufang.
"Oh, so much wool! Xiaomin, did you pay for it yourself again? Look, I want to give you a sweater, but you pay for it yourself..."
Lian Xiaomin smiled mischievously: "It's okay, we are friends. You know I can go hunting often and sell the prey secretly. The meat is very valuable. I have money."
Yufang really couldn't do anything about her, but her heart was filled with gratitude. She took out two colors of wool and compared them one by one.
"Which color do you like? Or I can knit you a green sweater and a pair of brown trousers..."
Yufang didn’t know that this was called brown, let alone what coffee meant. She just called this color brown, a lighter brown.
Lian Xiaomin grinned: "Are you going to turn me into a tree? Hahahaha, I'm wearing a green top and brown pants, and if I stand there, I'll be a tree..."
The two of them burst into laughter.
Yufang waited until she had enjoyed the yarn enough, then carefully packed it up, looked up and asked, "What are we doing today? Are we going home? Are we going to visit Shenglin's sister-in-law and the little kid, and Xiaolingzi before we leave?"
Lian Xiaomin helped her carry the bag and put it aside.
"Let's stay one more night and go back to the village tomorrow. Anyway, the three days are stated on the letter of introduction when we came out. Let's go out now and visit the Zhang family first."
She knew that Zhang Shenglin must be at home, and might have been sent back last night.
Yufang nodded: "Okay, if we go at this time, we will definitely arrive at his house in time for dinner. We will take some food with us."
"Well, take two kilograms of millet as food... Take all the eggs from the utility room. Oh, and I have two cans of food in my room."
Yufang said quickly, "Xiaomin, take the canned food you bought back and save it for Xiaofu and Xiaoya. Sister Aixia is in confinement after giving birth, so it would be nice to take the eggs with her."
"It's okay. Two cans of food are enough. Xiaofu and Xiaoya have eaten enough."
The two of them were packing up. There were five pounds of eggs, and Yufang had fried four of them in the morning. There were still quite a few left, so she carried them all, including the basket, in her hands.
Lian Xiaomin put two bottles of canned peaches in a bag and also took two pounds of millet in a small cloth bag.
The two of them put the washed dishes in place, locked the gate and went out.
This area was originally near the grain station, and Zhang Shenglin's home was not far away.
Yufang knew where to live. Although she had never been to the county town, she took the address with her when she left.
The two of them searched all the way and came to the door of a small courtyard in Liutiao Hutong.
After knocking on the door, Xiao Lingzi's clear voice soon came: "Who is it? I'm here!"
As soon as she pulled the bolt and opened the gate, she was stunned with a look of surprise on her face.
"Yufang, Master Lian! Why are you two here? I missed you so much! Come in quickly."
"Xiaomin and I came to the county town for a stroll yesterday. We even ran into Sister Xiaoqiu at the department store yesterday... Why don't we come and take a look now that we are here~"
Lian Xiaomin was hugged by Xiao Lingzi around the neck. Seeing the little girl jumping for joy and looking in good spirits, it seemed that Zhang Shenglin's family issues had been settled.
She walked into the yard and saw that everything was very tidy. The door of the utility room against the wall was open and a bicycle was parked inside.
