Zhang Chunxia, who originally had a look of disgust on her face, brightened her eyes and looked full of surprise after hearing these words.
"Really? Can you really help me get a big iron pot?"
Zhang Chunxia asked this question, and before Sun Fangfang could answer, she shook her head and denied it, "Impossible, you are a newly arrived educated youth, how can you be so capable as to get a big iron pot."
It’s not that the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores here don’t have big iron pots for sale, it’s just that the supply cannot meet the demand.
Even if there are occasional surpluses, you can’t buy one if you don’t have a ticket but only money.
Those who lived here had no way to deal with this. Sun Fangfang was an educated youth who had only arrived a few days ago and was not familiar with the surrounding situation. She probably didn't even know which way the doors of the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store faced. How could she possibly buy a big iron pot?
Zhang Chunxia's suspicion was clearly written on her face, which made Sun Fangfang secretly angry.
I'm obviously a person with no special abilities, so why should I look at her like that?
Although she was angry, Sun Fangfang still put on a smile when she thought about what she was going to do. She moved closer to Zhang Chunxia and whispered, "I don't have any special abilities, but my family loves me. Before they came here, they worried about my food and drink. They specially prepared tickets for me and asked me to buy myself a big iron pot so that I can cook whatever I want."
Sun Fangfang's words gradually dispelled Zhang Chunxia's doubts, but she didn't completely believe it. "Really? Where's your ticket? Show it to me!"
Without seeing the ticket, everything is just empty talk.
These educated youth from the city relied on the fact that they had attended school for a few days and were all very bad. Zhang Chunxia didn't dare to believe the tickets completely unless she saw them with her own eyes.
When Sun Fangfang heard Zhang Chunxia say she wanted to see the tickets, she was not angry. On the contrary, a smug look flashed across her eyes.
She was not afraid of Zhang Chunxia seeing it, but she was afraid that Zhang Chunxia would not see it.
Sun Fangfang first looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, then she took out a ticket.
Looking at the iron pot ticket, Zhang Chunxia's breathing became rapid and her cheeks turned red.
She was really excited and not pretending.
In this era, a big iron pot is a very important asset for a family and an indispensable daily necessity.
Although you can cook with clay pots or other materials, pots are not fire-resistant and do not withstand heat well, so they waste a lot of firewood.
You can't use the pot to cook food, it can only be used to stew food, and the food cooked in it is tasteless.
No one would cook in a pot if they could use an iron pot.
Zhang Chunxia couldn't help but smile. She wiped her wet hands on her body again and again, then carefully reached out to take the ticket, while saying words of thanks.
"Hey, Fangfang, what can I say about you? From the first day you came to our team, I knew you were a good person the first time I saw you. I felt that I got along well with you, like you were my own sister.
From now on, you can live in the production team without any worries. If you have any problems, just come to me. I will do anything I can for you without hesitation."
When any smart person heard Zhang Chunxia's words, they would know that she was just making a big promise, and it was not a very round pie at that.
Sun Fangfang didn't care, but put the ticket back and moved back.
Zhang Chunxia, who was originally smiling, froze her hands in mid-air, and the smile on her face froze, "Fangfang, what do you mean? Didn't you just say you would give me the ticket?"
Sun Fangfang smiled and nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, I said I can help you get a big iron pot.
But my sister-in-law is already so old, she should understand that there is no free lunch in this world, right? My sister-in-law did nothing, but just wanted a ticket from me for a hot pot. There is no such good thing in this world, isn't it, my sister-in-law?"
Zhang Chunxia slowly withdrew her hand, "What do you want me to help you with?"
As she spoke, Zhang Chunxia was also looking Sun Fangfang up and down.
Before Sun Fangfang could answer, Zhang Chunxia suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility, "You don't want to go back to the city and ask me to speak well of you to my father, do you?
If you really think so, then I advise you to give up this idea. Not to mention a ticket for a big iron pot, even if you bring ten or eight tickets, this thing cannot be done.
The educated youth who came here a few years earlier than you have not been able to go back yet. You want to leave after just a few days. What are you thinking about?"
At the end, Zhang Chunxia even laughed out loud with disdain, as if mocking Sun Fangfang's arrogance.
Sun Fangfang was not angry after being scolded by Zhang Chunxia. "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I don't want to go back to the city. Even if I really wanted to use my connections to go back to the city, I wouldn't come to you for help. Don't you think so?"
This is a roundabout way of saying that Zhang Chunxia takes herself too seriously.
Zhang Chunxia had a quick mind and immediately understood the meaning of Sun Fangfang's words. She became so angry that her breathing became rapid.
"If you don't like me, then why are you looking for me? Take your ticket and leave quickly. Don't delay me from doing my laundry."
"Don't be angry, sister-in-law. Although you can't help me return to the city, there is one thing that is very suitable for you to do, so I came to find you."
Zhang Chunxia still couldn't bear to part with the iron pot ticket, and couldn't help asking again, "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Sun Fangfang smiled brightly, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, but I really like children, especially cute and soft ones.
I had never seen quadruplets before. When I saw them for the first time, I was so envious of them that I really wanted to hug them and kiss them.
But my sister-in-law also saw that Comrade Su had some misunderstandings about me. He never looked happy every time he saw me, let alone let me hug the child.
My request is very simple. Can my sister-in-law bring the quadruplets out so that I can play with them for a while?
It doesn't have to be long, just let me hold you for a while.
As long as this can be done, I will not only give you the iron pot ticket, but I will also pay for the pot. I also have a few feet of cloth tickets, which I will also give to you. What do you think?"
Zhang Chunxia didn't give an answer immediately, but she was deeply moved.
This doesn't sound difficult. As long as you can do it, you will not only have the iron pot ticket, but you don't even have to spend money to buy the pot, and you can also get a few feet of extra cloth...
Although I got 300 yuan from the division of the family property, which sounds like a lot, it is actually not that much.
There will be so many places to spend money in the future, if I can save these few dozen dollars on buying a pot...
The more Zhang Chunxia thought about it, the more excited she became, and her heart began to beat wildly.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Chunxia asked in a low voice, "Are you really just hugging them? You don't have any other purpose, do you? The old couple, as well as my parents, love those four little ones so much. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain myself."
