Chapter 110: No More Food
Hongqi County is indeed not big. When she was buying rice, flour, grain and oil at the supply and marketing cooperative, she happened to meet a few aunties from the village who were also there to buy things.
Several aunties were a little surprised to see Su Nanzhi, and after seeing the rice, flour, grain and oil in her hands, they all showed surprised expressions.
One of the ladies disapproved, "Nanzhi, why are you still coming to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy rice and flour?"
"The rice and flour from the supply and marketing cooperative aren't worth it." She lowered her voice a little when she finished the second half of the sentence. "The village can exchange work points for more rice and flour."
Although the other ladies didn't say anything, their faces were full of agreement.
Only people in the county who are on the government payroll would buy rice and flour from the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Su Nanzhi felt a little aggrieved, "I know..."
The old lady was puzzled, "You know? You still?"
Su Nanzhi: "I just want to have a good meal. After all, I won't be able to eat it in the future..."
It's not too much for a seriously ill person like her to want to eat something good before she dies, right?
As soon as Su Nanzhi said this, the faces of several aunties changed. If the situation did not allow it, they would have bowed and apologized to Su Nanzhi.
Damn them! The child is seriously ill and wants to eat something good, but they still say nonsense.
Out of shame, several women took out some mountain products from their baskets that they had intended to "sell" or "give away" and stuffed them into Su Nanzhi's hands.
This time the ashamed person was Su Nanzhi. She just wanted to play the victim, not to get free food and drinks.
But unfortunately, the aunties were too enthusiastic. Su Nanzhi's basket, which originally only had a few things in it, was filled up by several aunties when she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Nanzhi did not rush back to the village, but strolled around the county town very calmly.
Because Qinjia Village is very close to the county town, Su Nanzhi often comes to the county town. Since there is no junior high school in Qinjia Village, she went to junior high school in the county town.
As Su Nanzhi walked, she unknowingly arrived at the gate of the middle school in the county town.
There is only one middle school in the county, which includes junior high school and high school.
It was class time, and Su Nanzhi could hear the sound of class coming from inside.
"Hey, girl, is your last name Su?"
Su Nanzhi unconsciously showed a nostalgic expression on her face, and at this moment an old man walked out of the guard room.
The old man walked a few steps closer, and after seeing Su Nanzhi's face clearly, he said with certainty without waiting for Su Nanzhi to speak: "I'm not mistaken, you are the classmate Su hanging on the wall."
Su Nanzhi was speechless and silent.
Although she currently has the character of being "seriously ill", she doesn't want to be hung on the wall at such a young age just yet.
The old man was very excited. "How many years has it been since you graduated?"
"Your family said you went home to get married. Your child should be able to help out now, right?"
"Why do you want to go back to school today?"
…
Maybe it was because the old man was old, even if Su Nanzhi didn't answer, he would still mutter to himself.
Su Nanzhi listened to the old man's words and fell into deep thought.
From elementary school to junior high school, she was always the top student in her grade. Her tuition was free and she received rewards for her excellent grades. Although these rewards were not expensive, they were just some notebooks, pencils and the like.
But he is unique among the hundreds of people in the school.
If nothing unexpected happened, she should have entered high school and eventually went to Militia University...
But things are unpredictable. Qin Lan is one year younger than her. In order to take care of Qin Lan, she and Qin Lan have been in the same class since elementary school.
Compared with her excellent grades, Qin Lan's grades are a bit disappointing.
Some classmates who don't like Qin Lan would use her name to mock her.
Qin Lan, however, is a bully at home. Instead of refuting others, she targets her.
When she graduated from junior high school, she cried and made a fuss at home. In addition, Huang Xiumei didn't like her, an outsider, putting pressure on Su Nanzhi, so she made her drop out of school under the pretext of wanting her to marry Qin Lie.
At that time, Su Nanzhi was less than 16 years old, a little naive, and had beautiful imaginations about love. In addition, she had already taught herself high school courses, so she was not so determined to stay in school to continue studying.
However, in her previous life, she suffered a lot because she had no diploma. Qin Lie felt that she, a junior high school student, was not worthy of his status as an officer. Later, when she went out to start her own business, she was also embarrassed and looked down upon because of her lack of education.
Although she later built her own career through her own efforts and even went to school to obtain a diploma, if she were given another chance, she would definitely not give up her studies.
Fortunately, there is still time.
However, considering that she would not stay in Qinjia Village for long, Su Nanzhi did not plan to study in Hongqi County.
Moreover, the current environment is not suitable. This year is 1975, and the national college entrance examination will be resumed in 1976. What she needs to do now is to prepare the materials for the college entrance examination.
Thinking of this, Su Nanzhi's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. She interrupted the old man's chatter and said, "Uncle, you recognized the wrong person."
Uncle: That's not right. This classmate Su looks exactly like the excellent female classmate he remembered.
Although he thought so in his heart, when he saw Su Nanzhi's face, he became a little uncertain.
It seems that this female comrade does look a little whiter and fatter than Su, and she is more energetic and spirited, and is actually much prettier than Su.
And it seems that classmate Su’s husband is a soldier, so he should be joining the army now?
Looking at Su Nanzhi's leaving back, the old man shook his head helplessly.
There are too many fools in this world nowadays. They let their children get married at a young age, without worrying that their children may marry a ghost instead of a human.
As the old saying goes, if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. If you have your own abilities, aren't you more reliable than a capable husband?
Su Nanzhi didn't know that she had caused the old man to think. After leaving school, she went to the scrap yard in the county town.
After greeting the old man at the door and asking to buy some waste paper to make toilet paper, Su Nanzhi entered the scrap factory.
In her previous life, she had read a lot of period novels. In the novels, the scrap yard was simply a treasure trove. As long as the protagonist went to the scrap yard, he could find gold bars or some secret recipes in the gaps between the furniture and some hidden compartments.
But the reality is that in the scrap yard you can only see a pile of furniture that has been dismantled into pieces and mountains of waste paper.
Trying to find something valuable in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Su Nanzhi took some time and quickly found some high school tutorials from the waste paper pile.
After putting these tutorials into the space, she picked up some waste paper and two chipped vases and went to find the old man.
The old man was lying in a rocking chair with his eyes closed. When he heard her footsteps, he opened his eyes, glanced at her, and then closed them again.
"30 cents."
Su Nanzhi paid the money very straightforwardly and turned to leave the scrap yard.
