Wang Guihua's mind was groggy at this point, so she didn't think much and blurted out, "Just like your squad leader Luo said, who wouldn't go home and rest in the scorching sun? But you weren't in the dormitory, so who knows what you were doing?"
There were several educated youth with the surname Luo, but the only squad leader with the surname Luo was Luo Yan.
Su Yuhe was surprised: "Team Leader Luo is a good person. I don't believe she would say such a thing."
Wang Guihua: "Of course not, that's what she said, she saw it all!"
Several educated youths murmured quietly, "Would Luo Zhiqing say such a thing? He doesn't look like that kind of person."
"Who knows what's in a person's heart?"
.....
When Luo Yan came over and saw Luo Guihua, she became angry. This woman's brain is full of shit. Just a few words made her give herself away.
Seeing that public opinion was not favorable to her, Luo Yan quickly stood up and said, "Aunt Guihua, you must have heard me wrong. I didn't say I saw it. I just said that Yuhe didn't go back to the dormitory to rest in the middle of the day and was outside in the sun for fear of getting sunburned."
"See, I told you Luo Zhiqing isn't that kind of person."
Luo Yan had been in the commune for more than a year and was also the squad leader, so everyone obviously believed her more.
Wang Guihua's image became even worse, and she was labeled as a braggart.
She was so angry that she pushed the onlookers away and left angrily.
After the fun was over, Jiang Dali urged everyone to go back to work and not to gather together.
Luo Yan said to Su Yuhe with an apologetic look on her face, "Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I didn't expect Aunt Guihua to misunderstand me. I was really worried about you."
Some educated youth comforted her and said that it was all Wang Guihua's fault and she shouldn't blame herself.
Su Yuhe smiled faintly and said nothing.
She didn't expect to reveal Luo Yan's true face today, she just hoped to plant a seed in the hearts of the members.
Su Yuhe told the captain that she was going to the market.
Jiang Dali did not disagree. She had done today's work and her work points were recorded. Even if she had not done any work, she would still agree, but she would just not be given work points.
Su Yuhe went back to the dormitory to get some money first. There was a bunch of colorful, green, square and round bills wrapped in cloth. She took some for herself. There were not many bills left, but she still had several dozen dollars.
What I said about Luo Yan before was not nonsense. Su Yuhe was an only child. Her parents were afraid that she would suffer losses if she went to the countryside, so they gave her ten Datuanyuan tickets and a lot of food coupons.
It's not even a month now, and when I come back from selling things today, I'll still have most of the money left, but less than half of the food coupons.
The main reason is that I have been cooking for Jiang Lin recently, and all the food is good.
Money was spent so quickly. Chasing a man was quite expensive. Su Yuhe wanted to be nice to Jiang Lin, so she really spent a lot of money. Seeing that the money was almost gone, Su Yuhe was a little worried. It was impossible for her to ask her family for money.
On the way to the county town, she was thinking about starting some small business.
She remembered that it would be opened in a few years. Now it was 1975, and some people had already accumulated wealth by doing business, but they were not doing business in an open and honest way by setting up stalls.
If Su Yuhe remembered correctly, there was a place called the Free Market where everyone did business.
Just thinking about it, Su Yuhe had no idea what business to start, nor did he know where the free market was, when the car arrived at the county town.
Su Yuhe went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and made a phone call first.
A steady male voice said "Hey", and Su Yuhe began to cry and call for her father.
Su Zeming recognized his daughter's voice, still sounding aggrieved, and became anxious: "Daughter, what's wrong? Did you suffer in the countryside? Daddy will pick you up."
Su Yuhe sniffed: "Dad, it's okay, it's just that Lu Jianrong said I was wasting food by eating meat."
"Bullshit, I buy my daughter whatever she wants to eat. If she doesn't have enough money, I'll pay her. I told you long ago that the kid from the Lu family is not a good person, but you didn't listen."
"I know now, and it seems like he and Sister Xiaoyan are dating."
"What?" Su Zeming instantly became furious. His daughter ran to the countryside after someone, and that bastard was dating someone in the countryside. Where did he leave his daughter?
Su Yuhe poured out everything that happened today, of course not mentioning the fight she had with others. She said to Luo Yan: "Sister Xiaoyan said she didn't mean it, but I feel so bad. How could she doubt me?"
"She has evil intentions. Don't have any contact with them in the future. Since that kid from the Lu family doesn't know what's good for him, there's no need for you to stay there any longer. I'll find a way to get you back right away."
"Ah~ Don't do that yet," Su Yuhe said this not because she wanted to go home. If she went back, where would she go to chase Jiang Lin? At least she had to get the man first and then return to the city with her husband and children.
She said coquettishly, "Dad, I don't want to go back so soon. Going to the countryside for construction is quite meaningful. Besides, it's not even a month yet. It's not a good idea to go back."
Su Zeming snorted. Su Yuhe was afraid that he would really take her back, so she emphasized again that she wanted to stay.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuhe asked the waiter how much the phone bill would be.
The waitress was a young girl. She was so shocked by how quickly Su Yuhe changed from crying to smiling that she almost dropped her jaw. Suddenly, she met her beautiful eyes and was stunned for a moment. She quickly said, "It's just over five minutes. Just give me 80 cents."
Making phone calls is not cheap at 1.5 cents per minute, and there are very few people like Su Yuhe who can talk for several minutes.
Su Yuhe gave the money before going to buy things.
She went to buy her own things first and accidentally saw the men's clothing section.
She walked closer to look and saw that most of them were classic work clothes, such as white vests and old-fashioned blue cloth shirts, and there were also some Zhongshan suits.
The few times she met Jiang Lin, he was always wearing a patched blue-gray top with a white vest that was almost transparent from washing and had several holes in it. When she was around, Jiang Lin would wear the vest to work, and when she was not around, he would go shirtless.
Su Yuhe bought two vests and a new green cotton top.
The villagers all buy cloth and make their own clothes at home, only the city people buy ready-made clothes.
Whether it is cloth or ready-made clothes, cloth coupons are required. The difference is that ready-made clothes require more money.
There was no way Su Yuhe could make clothes, so she could only buy ready-made clothes.
Su Yuhe is good-looking and she doesn't look like an ordinary person in the shirt she is wearing. The salesperson is very good at talking. Later, Su Yuhe added a pair of pants to complete the outfit.
After buying daily necessities, she had to buy food.
There happened to be beef available today, so Su Yuhe bought half a pound of beef and went to the place where she had bought pork before to buy some fat and pork offal.
There are mung bean cakes, peach cakes and so on. These things are probably for rich people. A small piece of mung bean cake costs two cents.
Su Yuhe bought it anyway, adding ten cents to the pastry ticket and buying five pieces. She couldn't help but eat one piece first.
The food at home was also eaten up, but she couldn't take that much today, so she only bought five kilograms of white flour and five kilograms of rice.
She hadn't eaten rice for so many days in the countryside, and she missed it very much.
There were many people coming to the supply and marketing cooperative today, so there were no robbers or Jiang Lin. Su Yuhe carried a big bag of things and went to take the bus.
