Chapter 99 The package from Beijing, red gauze scarf, I want it!

Mingdai took Zhou Sinian to the state-owned hotel.

There were already quite a lot of people at this time, so Mingdai held his sleeve and led him to the queue.

Zhou Sinian watched the people in front of him taking away plates of dumplings, and became a little anxious. He glared at a young man who was carrying two plates of dumplings, disliking him for buying too many.

He was dressed strangely, was tall, and had murderous eyes. Just one glance from him scared the person so much that he loosened his grip and the dumpling almost fell to the ground.

Zhou Sinian reacted quickly, stretched out his hands, and rescued the dumplings before the plate fell to the ground.

"Okay! One more!"

"This girl is amazing! She's just a little tall. Who is she from?"

"Lian Jiazi, what a handsome Kung Fu!"

Ming Dai: It’s so embarrassing!

Cheers rang out all around, and Zhou Sinian was a little happy about the praise. He threw the dumplings in the plate up and caught them one by one, having a lot of fun.

Ming Dai was helpless, so she stopped him, took the dumplings and handed them to the frightened man.

"Sorry, sorry, I've delayed your meal!"

The young man took it stupidly, looked at Zhou Sinian who looked unsatisfied, and ran away with the dumpling.

Even though we were seated, we didn't dare sit down to eat. Instead, we took out our lunch boxes, packed our dumplings, and left without looking back.

Mingdai didn't dare let Zhou Sinian go and grabbed his sleeve.

Zhou Sinian seems to be going crazy now!

Zhou Sinian was being pulled away and was not very happy.

Mingdai stuffed another piece of peanut crisp into his mouth, and only then did he calm down. He stopped glaring at the person who brought the dumplings and made sarcastic remarks, and started to eat his candy seriously.

When it was two people's turn, before Mingdai could say anything, he said directly: "Two plates, I want two plates."

He went out for a walk last night and was already hungry.

Ming Dai took out the money and said, "Please give me three servings of sauerkraut pork dumplings."

After the dumplings were served, the two found an empty seat and sat down. The people next to them were pointing at them and discussing Zhou Sinian's recent feat.

Zhou Sinian ate his meal with full concentration. He looked at the two plates in front of him and the one for Mingdai, and nodded with satisfaction.

The dumpling was very hot, and he was impatient. He took a bite and blew out a breath. Mingdai asked him to let it cool down before eating, but he could only hold on for three seconds before he stretched out his chopsticks again.

Okay, eat it if you don’t mind it being too hot.

Mingdai ate slowly. The dumplings were fragrant and filling. She was full after eating half a portion so early in the morning.

Zhou Sinian ate one dumpling at a time and had finished both plates of dumplings long ago. Now he was staring at Mingdai's remaining dumplings.

Ming Dai asked him, "Are you not full?"

Zhou Sinian touched his stomach and said, "I can still eat another half bowl."

Mingdai silently pushed her plate to him, thinking he wouldn't mind.

Zhou Sinian took it happily, ate one bite at a time, and quickly finished half of the plate.

The two of them scooped up some dumpling soup and slurped it up, finishing their breakfast perfectly with the original soup and food.

After making sure that he was not holding on, Mingdai bought two meat buns and took him back.

Mr. Liu Sanye was sitting at the door basking in the sun. When he saw them coming back, he stood up quickly, took two steps forward, and then withdrew his gaze from Zhou Sinian.

Mingdai let Zhou Sinian go in first and gave him the buns.

Touching the hot oil-paper bag, Mr. Liu smiled happily, took out a bun, and gave the remaining one to Mingdai.

Ming Dai waved her hands repeatedly: "Third Master, I have already had breakfast."

Mr. Liu held the bun in his mouth and said, "I've also had a bun smashed before, so I can still eat another bun smashed.

Third Master has finally been generous, don't be polite, wait a little longer, or I won't be willing to give it to you!"

After saying that, he went to see the carriage while biting a bun.

Mingdai took the buns wrapped in oil paper, looked at the old man's smug back and smiled, then entered the guesthouse.

In the end, Zhou Sinian and I each ate half of the bun.

Yesterday, Mingdai and Zhou Sinian went to the scrap yard. Not only did Mingdai gain something, but Zhou Sinian also found the missing bicycle parts.

Mingdai saw that it had a lot of wheels, so she described the tricycle to him.

Zhou Sinian became interested immediately and was so busy that he didn't even bother knitting a sweater.

After lunch, they checked out of the guesthouse and drove their horse-drawn carriage to the gate of the county government to wait for the captain and the secretary.

After waiting for a while, a small car drove out of the county government gate.

The back seat window rolled down, revealing Mayor Wei sitting inside.

Mayor Wei looked at Zhou Sinian, who was knitting a sweater diligently in the carriage under the sun, and moved his still sore neck.

"You little bastard, you're still so harsh!"

Zhou Sinian felt something strange and looked up, only to see a face that flashed by, looking both strange and familiar.

Mingdai watched him knitting a sweater with great concentration. Suddenly he stopped and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Sinian shook his head, lowered his head and continued weaving.

Mingdai was very happy as she looked at the sweater whose sleeves were about to be knitted. She could wear it before the New Year!

In the afternoon, after class, Captain Liu and Secretary Liu came out with a group of people in cadre uniforms. Their large cotton jackets looked out of place in the uniforms.

Mingdai really admires them for wearing cadre uniforms in such cold weather.

Liu Dazhu and Liu Qingmin's faces were beaming with joy. Without asking, one could tell that this trip to the county town was quite fruitful.

The two got on the carriage, and Master Liu cracked the whip and the carriage started.

Mingdai looked at the cotton cover and "pants" swaying on the ponytail, and silently changed her sitting direction.

Liu Dazhu took out a paper package wrapped in newspaper from his arms and handed it to Mingdai.

"Xiao Ming, this is the money from selling vegetables. Please count it."

Mingdai took it, put it in the quilt, opened it, and saw a small stack. She counted it and found it was forty-five yuan, just right.

Mingdai nodded at Liu Dazhui. Liu Dazhui smiled and took out the cigarette bag, but did not smoke it. He just kept it in his hand.

It's good to get the money from the sale. Xiao Ming, the educated youth, spent a lot of money on the madman during the winter, and finally he saw the money return.

Zhou Sinian also came over to take a look, with no expression on his face.

He had seen the money in Mingdai's basket a long time ago, it was in stacks, much more than this. Mingdai told him not to talk nonsense, otherwise he would have no more mutton soup to drink.

Mingdai was a little excited. These vegetables were grown by them, so the significance was naturally different. Although the amount was small, it made her happy, and the sense of accomplishment was no less than that of making money in the black market.

When the carriage arrived at the commune, Liu Dazhu took the county's approval form to see the commune director, while Liu Sanye took the rest of the people to the post office to pick up the parcels and letters.

Mingdai didn't expect to receive her own package. When she saw that it was sent from the capital, she roughly knew who sent it.

I opened the letter and read the contents.

Sure enough, Director Niu and his wife are both smart people.

She bought an envelope and stamps at the post office, borrowed paper and a pen, wrote a letter on the spot and put it in the mailbox.

Back in the car, Zhou Sinian held her package but did not open it.

“There’s sugar!”

Mingdai also pinched it and found that it was in the shape of candy.

After opening it, besides the candy, there was also something wrapped in newspaper.

When unfolded, it is a red gauze scarf with golden thread around the edges, which is very eye-catching.

Zhou Sinian's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Ming Dai expectantly: "I want it!!"

Mingdai looked at him strangely. She felt that Zhou Sinian had become more lively and talkative.

"Don't you think it's too red?"

Zhou Sinian shook his head, his fingers already touching the gauze, he liked it so much that he couldn't help rubbing it.

Ming Dai said helplessly: "I can give it to you, but you can't blame me in the future, it's not what I want you to wear."

Zhou Sinian didn't understand, but nodded vigorously.

"All right."

Ming Dai handed it to him, and Zhou Sinian took it happily, looking at it repeatedly in his hand, rubbing it along the golden lock edge, and finally folded it up as a treasure and put it in his shirt pocket together with the candy wrapper.

Mingdai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was winter and no one brought a scarf. He didn't know what it was for.

Otherwise, he would wear a red turban on his head, a red silk scarf around his neck, and a military coat wrapped around his body, and Mingdai would not dare to look at him.

It's too hot for the eyes!

Liu Qingmin looked at them with great envy. He wanted to find a red Double Happiness towel for his daughter but couldn't find one. Yet they already had a Crazy Red Gauze scarf. This thing couldn't be bought in the county, right?

Xiao Ming, the educated youth, is so nice to the crazy guy!

Mingdai: No, I'm just allergic to the color red now.

By the time they got home, it was already dark.

There was someone at Mingdai's house. Mrs. Huang had just helped to heat the kang, and the whole room was warm.

"Sister Xiao Ming, I've seen these vegetables, they're good. There are some mushrooms growing, I'll pick some for you and put them aside."

Mingdai looked at the dishes on the kang and found that they were indeed well taken care of.

She took two mushrooms and wrapped them in newspaper: "Auntie, take them home and fry them."

Mrs. Huang didn't hesitate to stuff the mushrooms into her arms and went home with her arms folded.

Ming and Dai were also very tired, so they closed the door and entered the space.
