An hour and a half later.
"Aunt, the money and goods are settled, then we are leaving."
Xiao Lei and his men loaded five thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes and more than a hundred kilograms of vegetables onto ten large carts. After they were driven away twice, they happily waved goodbye to Qiao Jiuru.
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
Qiao Jiuru stood at the gate of the courtyard and waved to Xiao Lei and the others, watching them leave the alley and disappear into the night.
However, as soon as Xiao Lei and his companions left, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan put all the rice and flour, eggs, half a pork, ten pounds of lard, half a slaughtered sheep, ten pounds of bacon, ten pounds of dried salted fish, a kettle, a thermos, a towel, rain boots, spices, white wine, Maotai, cigarettes, vanishing cream, toothpaste and toothbrush, malted milk, leather shoes and belts, cotton, bicycle tickets, and sewing machine tickets that they had exchanged with Yu Daniu into the space.
The yard next door.
Mr. Song and his wife woke up as early as when Xiao Lei and his team made their first delivery, but the two old people were very cautious and did not dare to come to check.
Moreover, they also knew that Qiao Jiuru lived in the next yard. Maybe he was doing something important at this time. If they went there, wouldn't they disturb him? !
It was not until a long time after the first noise had passed that the sound of falling stones was heard in their yard.
Mr. Song quickly put on his clothes, stood up, opened the door, walked to the wall connecting the yard and the next door, and asked in a low voice:
"Is it my niece?!"
"It's me, old man, open the door."
Sure enough, a voice that Mr. Song was very familiar with came from the other side of the wall. It was the person he was thinking of.
"Okay, okay."
Old Master Song responded excitedly in a low voice, saying that Qiao Jiuru and his partner hadn't come for a few days, and he guessed that something might have happened to them.
Finally, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan showed up. How could he not be happy and excited? !
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan did not come to the Song family empty-handed. In addition to some things in their hands, they also had a large sack under their feet.
However, when Mr. Song opened the door and saw that the two of them had brought so many things, he was surprised and at a loss.
"Old man, let's go in and talk."
After Qiao Jiuru opened the door, he looked at them in a daze. The old man said softly, "Don't talk at the door. The most important thing is that time is a bit tight now. They have to get back before 6:30 and then go to the station."
Mr. Song came to his senses after hearing the words. He just made way for the couple to enter, but the next moment a bunch of things were stuffed into his arms. Then Qiao Jiuru brought in the big sack at his feet.
No one dared to say a word, and hurriedly and quietly carried the things into the house.
Grandma Song was already waiting in the house. She was also very surprised to see so many things.
"Mr. Song, Aunt Song, we are leaving soon, so let's cut to the chase. We haven't been here these days because we have also been reported and are going to labor reform today. We will not be back in the future. These are supplies for you. There are 500 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the yard next door. Try to eat them in the next few months. I will leave the key to you."
"Niece, in your current situation, we don't want these things..."
"Grandpa, please accept it with peace of mind. If we are busy with our own affairs, we will definitely not send you anything. It's getting late, we have to leave quickly, otherwise those people will come to our house to look for us. Grandpa, aunt, we will see you later, bye."
Qiao Jiuru interrupted Mr. Song before he finished speaking. She quickly put the key from her pocket into the old man's hand while speaking, and then pulled the man beside her towards the door.
Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru arrived in the yard before Mr. Song and his wife had time to react. After the two old men came to their senses, they were extremely anxious, but they did not dare to make any loud noise, let alone speak, so they had to quickly chase after the couple.
However, Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru had already opened the gate and left quickly. It was almost dawn, and they had to get back before the people from the street office came to their house.
When Mr. Song and his wife walked to the gate of the courtyard, they could only see the couple walking quickly, and soon they disappeared.
The two old people did not dare to stay at the door for long. They looked around carefully, then quickly closed the door and went into the house immediately.
Thermos bottle, hot water bottle, five towels, seven pounds of cotton, ten eggs, two pounds of pork, two pounds of pork, one pound of mutton, a piece of bacon, a pound of dried salted fish, ten pounds of rice and flour each, and a large bag of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
In addition to these, there were two large rolls of Great Unity, as well as ten catties of food coupons, and more than a dozen kerosene tickets, egg tickets, sugar tickets, and other bills needed in daily life.
Mr. Song and his wife were stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes. This... this was too much.
In addition, there are 500 kilograms of coarse grains left for them in the yard next door.
Mr. Song and his wife looked at each other. Neither of them spoke for a long while, just letting the tears flow freely on their weather-beaten faces.
