Chapter 28 Qiu Fu
Deng Minghao knew the seriousness of the matter and did not keep torturing Li Ruolan. After stopping, he carried Li Ruolan into the space to clean her up and fed her some spiritual spring water.
In short, when Li Ruolan woke up the next day, she didn't feel too uncomfortable. Seeing that Deng Minghao had gotten up early to prepare breakfast for her, she let Deng Minghao go.
After breakfast, the two went to the village entrance to wait for Uncle Wang's carriage. The whole village was on holiday today, so many people wanted to go to the town, so Uncle Wang drove two more carriages over.
Aunt Guihua laughed when she saw Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao: "I heard that you moved into the new house yesterday? Are you going to the town to buy some things today?"
Li Ruolan smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are short of everything at home, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots and pans. We have to cook for ourselves, so we have to buy all these."
As the two were talking, an unfamiliar auntie suddenly interrupted. This auntie was very tall and had high cheekbones and triangular eyes. She didn't look like a good person.
"Li and Deng must have spent a lot of money to build their house, right? With so much money, when are they going to hold the wedding banquet? We are all waiting to drink at the wedding."
When Deng Minghao, who was sitting next to Uncle Wang, heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at the aunt.
Li Ruolan spoke first: "Deng Zhiqing and I have been dating for a long time, but our families are poor and cannot hold a wedding for us or buy a house.
In addition, I had a younger brother, so my parents sent me to the countryside. Deng Zhiqing's family situation was similar to mine. He had three sons, and he was the second oldest.
When we two came to the countryside, our families didn't buy us anything, and the money for building a house came from the resettlement fee given by the government.
We also want to invite the villagers to our wedding banquet, but now we don’t even have food at home, and we are just waiting for the food to be distributed.
We really don't have the means to hold a banquet, so we're going to the town today to buy some food and prepare to host a banquet at the educated youth site in the evening. We'll just invite the educated youth, the team leader, the secretary and others to have a meal.
If you don't mind, please come over tonight. Although we can't afford to invite so many people, if you are willing to do us the honor, we will definitely treat you to a good meal."
After saying this, Li Ruolan smiled very embarrassedly, then lowered her head somewhat dejectedly.
The five people who worked in the same group with Li Ruolan were all in the car at this time. Aunt Wang Er, who hated evil the most, immediately became angry and glared at them.
"What? Have you never eaten meat in your life? Why are you so greedy? It is true that Li Zhiqing and Deng Zhiqing have built a house, but they are already married. If they don't move out, do they still have to squeeze into the Zhiqing site?
They both live their lives seriously. When they go to work, they are both very serious and get a lot of work points.
After work, they would go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and collect firewood. Yesterday, I saw a few of them digging wild vegetables by the river. If they had money to help, would they have to suffer so much?"
Aunt Cuihua also echoed: "That's right, they just built a house, and you're already bullying them here. What's the matter? Can't you afford to live in an adobe house?"
After listening to Aunt Cuihua talking about the house, Li Ruolan finally understood why this aunt said that. It turned out that she saw that they had built a new house and thought that they had money.
It seems that people in the village have been talking about houses a lot during this period. Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao can also feel that these fellow villagers are gossiping about them behind their backs.
But neither of them thought about it that way.
Just now, when I saw the people in the car, except for Aunt Guihua and her friends, there was something wrong with the way they looked at Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao.
However, after listening to Li Ruolan talk about the two's family situation, the expressions on these people's faces improved a lot. After all, no one wants to see someone living better than themselves.
The two of them acted like a pitiful person, which made the villagers let go of their hatred of the rich.
However, Qin Wan, Xu Tao and Guo Xiaoya were not so lucky.
The news that Qin Wan, a female educated youth, had built a house to live in had spread throughout the village a long time ago. Not only were the male educated youth in the educated youth center ready to make a move, but the unmarried men in the village also had some ideas in their minds.
But now the time is short and it is the busy farming season, so no one is specifically trying to take advantage of this matter. When the time comes and Qin Wan has free time, she will definitely be in trouble.
As for Xu Tao and Guo Xiaoya, they usually dress better. Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao also have good clothes, but when they go to the fields, they wear the same clothes that they wore at home with many patches.
Most of the people in the village dressed like this, and since they were all wearing the same clothes, naturally no one would pay too much attention to the two of them.
Xu Tao and Guo Xiaoya were just too conspicuous. Moreover, Guo Xiaoya only collected two baskets of pig grass a day with the work points of a child. It was obvious at a glance that she was not short of money.
They were educated youth who were outsiders to begin with. If they could not integrate well with their fellow villagers, they would definitely suffer in the future.
If you can integrate well, just like today, even if you encounter difficulties, as long as you show weakness, someone will jump out to help you.
The aunt was bullied for several times in a row, and after listening to Li Ruolan talking about their poor family situation, she felt much better and pouted her lips and stopped talking.
Li Ruolan hurriedly thanked Aunt Wang Er and Aunt Cuihua, and they both smiled at her.
They traveled in silence all the way until they finally arrived at the town. Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao got off the carriage and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy condiments such as salt and vinegar, as well as two pots, one large and one small, and a kitchen knife.
I bought 4 bowls and plates each, and also bought chopsticks and spoons.
After that, they went to the meat processing factory and both of them lined up. Deng Minghao bought five pounds of pork belly and then shamelessly asked the chef to buy four pig's trotters and a pair of pig offal.
Li Ruolan bought 4 kilograms of fatty pork to make oil. She wanted to buy more, but the chef refused to sell it to her, saying that he wanted to save some for the people waiting in line behind her.
After leaving the meat processing factory, one of them kept watch while the other went into the alley and put the fat pork, half of the pork belly, and four pig's trotters into the space.
He was carrying only two pounds of pork and a bunch of offal, and he also took out the chicken he had killed yesterday and put them in the backpack.
The two went to the grain station and bought twenty kilograms of sweet potato flour and twenty kilograms of corn flour, both of which were relatively cheap coarse grains, so it wouldn't matter if they were seen by the villagers.
"Just buy these things first. For water tanks and other things, you can go to the brigade next to Shengli Brigade. There are special stores selling tanks there.
I had already made an appointment with Uncle Wang on the way here, and I would hire his carriage to buy the jars after we return to the village." Deng Minghao checked to see that the things he had bought were almost ready, and then took Li Ruolan to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
