Chapter 38: Road robbery (1/2)



"By the way, I bought a lot of defective cloth, gloves and shoes from the supply and marketing cooperative. What do you think?"

When Chen Suihuan came before, she brought enough yellow shoes and gloves for working in the fields. This time she bought some defective items, actually to help Chen Ye and others.

When Chen Ye and Dai Wu heard that the yellow-top shoes Chen Suihuan bought were defective and inexpensive, they immediately knew that Chen Suihuan was helping them.

The two men looked at each other, and each bought two pairs of gloves.

Xu Tao's family situation is much worse than Qin Fei's, and they lack these things. Li Changxu is a little worse off, because he has many brothers in his family, and his parents don't take care of him much.

So he brought a lot of things, especially gloves. Now looking at what Chen Suihuan had in his hands, he also bought two pairs of gloves and a pair of yellow upper shoes.

"Suihuan, let's talk about the rest. I accept you as my sister." Dai Wu's eyes were red, knowing that Chen Suihuan bought these things obviously to help them.

Chen Suihuan waved his hand. Chen Ye and Dai Wu usually helped Chen Suihuan and the others, and they usually did more work in the yard.

Since living together, the three girls only fetched water once, and the rest were all helped by the four boys.

When people get along with each other, it is always the case that if you give me a foot, I will give you a foot in return. These boys are all very good, and Chen Suihuan is willing to help them.

In the next few days, Xu Tao and Li Changxu helped them fetch water from time to time. When Chen Ye and Dai Wu came back from hunting, they would share half of the prey with Chen Suihuan and the others.

"During this period, don't eat the prey you hunted. Salt them all and store them." Chen Ye gave this instruction when he delivered the prey.

Gao Yue was a little confused: "Why? Is fresh meat delicious? Why do you have to pickle it?"

"It's almost time to harvest the corn. It's very tiring at that time. I can't make it through if I just eat some meat and vegetables every day to replenish myself."

Most of the female comrades would go to the fields to pick corn, while the male comrades would take the corn to the threshing floor to dry in the sun.

Chen Ye and Dai Wu had been in the army before, and even in this state, they would be exhausted every year when harvesting corn.

Losing three pounds in one day is a joke.

“After harvesting the corn, we have to dry it, and then thresh it. Only after threshing is the work done, it takes at least a month.

Every year there are people who get sick from working themselves to death from exhaustion. "Chen Ye said earnestly.

Every year when wheat and corn are harvested, it is the most tiring time. Normally, Chen Ye feels his legs trembling just when he mentions those days.

Gao Yue and other newly arrived educated youth were a little scared when they saw Chen Ye and Dai Wu looking like they were facing an enemy.

After listening to all this during the day, Chen Suihuan went downstairs and added some spiritual spring water to the water tanks on both sides while everyone was away.

The diluted spiritual spring water changed their physical constitution and could only allow Qin Fei and Xu Tao to recover faster, so Chen Suihuan was afraid of being discovered by them.

Two days later, Lu Xingyan had been gone for half a month, and the postman sent two letters to Chen Suihuan, one from Lu Xingyan and the other from Chen Sui'an.

Lu Xingyan wrote in the letter that the marriage report had been submitted, and after the review was completed, he could take leave to come back and get married, and he also found Chen Sui'an.

He also told Chen Sui'an about his current relationship with Chen Suihuan, saying that Chen Sui'an had a good physique and was very suitable for military service, and that he would definitely take good care of Chen Sui'an.

Finally, he said that he had sent some things to Chen Suihuan and asked Chen Suihuan to go to the town to pick them up when he was free.

As for Chen Sui'an's letter, it was full of questions, asking Chen Suihuan what was going on between her and Lu Xingyan, and whether they were really married.

Chen Suihuan returned to the room, wrote letters to both of them, and prepared to go to the town.

Her cotton-padded clothes should be ready by the time, so she had to pick them up. When the corn picking season started in a few days, Chen Suihuan probably wouldn't have time to go to town again.

"I'm going to town later to mail a letter and pick up some things. Do you want to bring anything?" Chen Suihuan went out to ask Qin Fei and Xu Tao.

Gao Yue was the first to raise her hand: "Cut some more meat. Although pheasants and rabbits are also good meat, they are not as fragrant as pork.

We have plenty of rice and flour, enough to last us a month. We need to go to the grain station to buy some. You can buy some good ones.

If you can find cheaper eggs, you can buy some. ”

When they first arrived, Chen Suihuan and her team had already eaten up all the food distributed by the team. Later, they exchanged some with fellow villagers in the village.

What they exchanged were mostly coarse grains; fine grains were very precious, and people in the village were generally willing to give them away.

The four boys including Xu Tao also paid money to let Chen Suihuan bring back some meat and rice and flour.

Chen Suihuan looked around, then leaned over to their ears and said, "I met a lady at the supply and marketing cooperative last time, and she introduced me to a way.

I can get some valuable meat, chickens and ducks now. I'll see if I can get some back when the time comes. Are you guys okay? ”

"That's great. I'm short of money, not tickets. I can buy more of these things if I can find them.

The weather will be cold soon, and it will be easy to preserve these things when the time comes. The cold weather here lasts for a long time, so I have to save more things to avoid going hungry when the weather turns cold. "Chen Ye said.

As for what the means were, everyone was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Suihuan nodded, went down to the team, rented a bicycle from the team for ten cents, and rode to the town.

Chen Suihuan's family didn't have Gao Yue's and the others' belongings, so Chen Suihuan just took a look around, took the package Lu Xingyan sent her, and prepared to return to the team.

As a result, when returning to the team, Chen Suihuan suddenly saw a figure flashing in a hidden place.

That was the location of the black market that Chen Ye had told her about before. Chen Suihuan wanted to go to the black market and find a secluded corner to stuff her bicycle and package into the space.

Then he entered the space and disguised himself before Chen Suihuan could sneak into the black market.

There weren't many people there, and the things they sold were pretty ordinary. Also, the town was too small. Chen Suihuan walked around disappointedly, didn't buy anything, and left.

After taking out all the necessary things, Chen Suihuan rode his bicycle back to the team.

On the path back to the team, there were towering corns on both sides. Chen Suihuan could not see anything else except the front and the back.

But he didn't know what was going on. Chen Suihuan's heart suddenly beat violently a few times, as if he had some good premonitions.

Looking at the green tents on both sides, Chen Suihuan remembered a short science video from his previous life, which said that it was best to get close to this kind of green tent, as there might be people hiding in the cornfield.

Chen Suihuan narrowed his eyes and slowed down his bicycle.

On the narrow road, except for the road in front and behind, everything else was hidden under the dense corn.

Chen Suihuan rode her bike slower and slower. She was afraid that someone would come and cause trouble for her, so she slowed down because she was afraid that something might happen to her bike.

It would be good if there was a trip rope or a hole dug in front of the bike and the bike was damaged.
