The town was not too far from their Hongqi Village, and it only took an hour to get there by ox cart.
Everyone came to the town to do different things, so as soon as they arrived, they got off the bus.
Before leaving, the old man driving the ox cart stopped Chang Suisui and said, "Chang Zhiqing, hurry back to this willow tree after lunch to avoid being late for the return trip to the village. We will leave at one o'clock in the afternoon."
He pointed to a factory gate not far away and said, "When the bell rings at noon, we'll go back."
"Thank you, uncle." Chang Suisui grabbed a few fruit candies from the space and stuffed them into the hands of the uncle driving the ox cart. "Please leave a suitable seat for me later."
The old man driving the cart waved his hands quickly and was about to refuse when he heard Chang Suisui say, "This candy is not a valuable thing. Go back and give it to your children to sweeten their mouths."
As she spoke, she waved to the driver and left.
The old man driving the cart took a look at the candy in his hand, then looked at Chang Suisui's back, and couldn't help but sigh. He picked up a straw mat from the side and threw it near the front of the cart to take up space.
There was only one ox cart in their village, so if the girl wanted to go back, she would have to walk back.
She was such a delicate city girl that if she really missed the ox cart, she would probably burst into tears halfway through the journey.
Forget it, what if the girl is a little late, he should wait for her a little longer.
After all, you can't take a girl's things for free.
The old man driving the cart thought so, put his straw hat on his face, and leaned against the ox cart...
Chang Suisui quickly found the entrance to the black market according to the description in the book.
But when she was about to go in, she keenly noticed that someone seemed to be following her secretly.
There were so many people in the place just now that she didn't notice it. But now, as she got closer to the entrance of the black market, there were fewer and fewer people here, and the footsteps behind her became more obvious.
Chang Suisui didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so it was not convenient to alert the enemy.
She walked slowly at the same pace as before, then slipped directly into the space at a corner.
Even from inside her space, she could see what was happening outside, so not long after she hid inside, a straight-limbed man came over quickly.
He seemed a little surprised to see her missing on the path, and then walked a little further.
"Strange? Where did they go?"
The man seemed to sense something was wrong and muttered a few words to himself.
So I started looking for clues on the spot.
After a moment, the man frowned and left after making sure there were no traces.
But he looked a little anxious, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Chang Suisui originally wanted to see clearly who the other person was before attacking him.
But the other party's attitude made her feel very strange.
After all, she is a person living in the last days, and she is more sensitive to other people's emotions than ordinary people.
She sensed no ill will from the other person, and from his figure and movements, he seemed to be a soldier.
Chang Suisui sat in the space and thought carefully. It seemed that the only person who could be associated with the military was Xie Yu, right?
She suddenly thought of the "rat" who lived next door to Xie Yu yesterday.
She had a vague idea.
If this person was sent by Xie Yu, then he must have come to protect her, so the worry and nervousness in that person's expression just now can be explained.
Chang Suisui thought so and flashed out of the space.
If the other party is really Xie Yu's man, she probably won't be able to go to the black market today.
Chang Suisui sighed, followed the path he had just taken, and quickened his pace as he walked out.
When she reached the intersection, she deliberately slowed down her pace, pretended to be frightened, and walked out while patting her chest.
Sure enough, as she was walking, she ran into the man she had just met.
"Chang Zhiqing!"
Chang Suisui pretended to be frightened and immediately took two steps back, "You, who are you?"
Seeing that he had frightened the man, Qian Weimin immediately pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I am Qian Weimin, the scorekeeper who just reported to our Hongqi Village. I just came to the town with you in a bullock cart."
Chang Suisui blinked, as if trying to confirm whether what he had just said was true.
Qian Weimin was a little embarrassed for a moment. He coughed lightly, "Ahem... Hey, Brother Xie and I are comrades-in-arms. I am such a good person."
"puff……"
Chang Suisui couldn't help laughing when she saw his serious look.
Qian Weimin then chuckled and asked, "Chang Zhiqing, what happened to you just now? Did someone bully you?"
Chang Suisui shook his head. "No, I was walking in the alley just now and met a big black dog. I was afraid it would chase me, so I hid. I didn't expect it to follow me when I reached the intersection, so I ran out..."
Qian Weimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is. Then why were you going over there just now, Chang Zhiqing?"
Chang Suisui pursed her lips and said, "I wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but I found that it was a dead end..."
As she spoke this far, her voice became increasingly quiet.
Qian Weimin: “…”
If he remembered correctly, the supply and marketing cooperative seemed to be on the other side?
I really didn’t expect that Chang Zhiqing is so pretty, but her brain... well, it’s not very good.
But it’s okay, their leader is smart!
For a couple, it is enough for one of them to have a good brain!
Qian Weimin thought about this and smiled again, "Chang Zhiqing, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative. I also want to buy some things. Shall we go together?"
Chang Suisui immediately looked at Qian Weimin with gratitude, "Thank you, Comrade Qian! You are such a good person!"
Qian Weimin was so overwhelmed by her praise that he said, "That's nothing. Let's go, let's go... Chang Zhiqing, you can just do the shopping and leave the carrying to me!"
Chang Suisui couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. She really didn't expect that Xie Yu would send such a funny guy to her.
However, since Qian Weimin did not doubt her, she naturally had to maintain her image as a little white flower.
The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of things in a short time.
In addition to the daily necessities of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there are also half a pound of milk candy, a can of malted milk, a pound of biscuits, a pound of osmanthus cake, 2 bottles of canned fruit and 2 bottles of canned beef.
The two of them, one buying in front and the other carrying behind, soon attracted the attention of others.
A salesperson nearby caught a glimpse of what Qian Weimin was carrying, and couldn't help curling his lips and muttering in a low voice: "Oh, look at the daughter-in-law of this family, she really doesn't know how to live. She bought so many things, and she's not afraid of being called a spendthrift."
"That's right. Look at the man following behind her. He has a simple and honest face. I'm afraid she's going to take him for a fool."
Although the two spoke lightly, it was enough to draw strange looks from the people around them, and the atmosphere in the supply and marketing cooperative became a little subtle...
