"Sister-in-law Guihua, it's not that I don't want to tell the village chief and remind everyone."
However, the person who told me this was just passing by and asked for directions when they saw the cottonseed oil I bought, and they kindly reminded me of it.
If the village chief asks me to find that person, where am I supposed to look?
Ning Jing said helplessly.
She felt so tired after telling one lie, which required countless more to cover it up.
"Huh? Did someone passing by say that?"
What if what he said isn't true?
At this point, Wang Guihua hesitated and shut her mouth.
After all, why would someone lie to others if there's nothing wrong with their life?
Seeing her like this, Ning Jing stepped forward and said, "Sister Guihua, anyway, it's better to believe it's true than not to believe it."
If you and Brother Zhao want to tell the village chief, I won't object.
Just don't tell anyone that I told you.
Just say that a passerby saw it and told you.
If the village chief listens and tells the villagers, they can believe it if they want, and there's nothing they can do if they don't.
When the couple heard Ning Jing's suggestion, they looked at each other and thought that this excuse was feasible.
Nodding, he didn't bother buying anything else and immediately called Ning Jing to get in the car together, thinking they could talk about it when they got back.
Halfway there, Wang Guihua suddenly slapped her forehead.
"Look at my memory, I haven't bought kerosene yet."
In this rural area, almost every household lacks electricity and relies almost entirely on kerosene lamps, with some using tung oil lamps and soybean oil lamps.
For the past few days, Ning Jing has been going to bed with Xiu Hua and the others as soon as it gets dark at this house.
They went to work before dawn and never thought about this.
Hearing what Wang Guihua said, I realized that if the children went to school, they definitely wouldn't be able to go to bed so early at night. They would need lights to do their homework and such!
She then thought that she was planning to come to town again tomorrow to find Niu Jinju and get some new fabric for the children.
"Sister Guihua, I'll go out again tomorrow. I forgot to buy some things that Xiuhua and the others need. I'll buy the kerosene then."
When Wang Guihua heard Ning Jing say this, although she didn't understand what Xiu Hua and the others needed, she wisely didn't ask.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you!"
Ning Jing smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law Guihua, why are you being so polite with me?"
If anyone's causing trouble, it's me who's bothering you.
After saying that, he pointed to the soy sauce bottle and vinegar bottle in the basket in Wang Guihua's hand.
The two looked at each other and then laughed together.
Zhao Dazhu was a strong walker, and the three of them arrived home quickly.
Ning Jing found a bottle in the kitchen, went to Wang Guihua's house and poured half of the soy sauce and vinegar back, and then began to organize the things in her basket.
"Meat!?"
When Xiuhua and Xiuchun saw the bones, meat, pig lungs, and pig liver that Ningjing took out of the basket, their eyes lit up like torches.
I haven't eaten meat since my parents passed away.
When they saw the meat, their eyes widened in surprise!
"Second sister, why do I smell meat?"
Tie Dan came out of the house, sniffed, and then asked Xiu Hua, who was staring blankly at the basket of good things that Ning Jing kept taking out in the kitchen.
Xiuhua turned her head, her eyes sparkling, and said to Tiedan, "Sister-in-law bought some meat."
Upon hearing this, Tie Dan rushed over.
I happened to see pork bones cut into pieces, with meat still on them.
