Eggs, dry goods, fruits and vegetables,
These things pile up, it's really not enough.
There were only a few eggs in the house, and the brother and sister shared nearly forty of them, which meant that half of what they had spent came back.
There were a lot of dry goods, which looked like they weighed more than ten pounds. They were really not easy to pile up.
As for fruits and vegetables, none of them weighed less than two or three kilograms, otherwise they would be embarrassed to bring them. So, the brother and sister got more than ten kilograms.
I didn’t expect that I could get so much back from this family dinner. It’s really a good deal.
"Brother, take a few days off and go to the commune to send some dry goods home. After all, we can often pick them up here, and you can send them home again at the end of the year."
Xiaoshu looked at these useful information with shining eyes. She immediately had an idea and discussed it with her brother. This is a good thing, delicious, nutritious and especially fragrant.
"Okay, I'll ask my cousin tomorrow if she wants to go to the commune with me."
They hadn't been to the commune for a long time. Sometimes when they received letters from home, they would ask Lian Ailian, Fu Qiu, or the team leader to help post them when he went to the commune for a meeting.
After the brother and sister had discussed it, they packed up these things and put them in a dry place.
Afterwards, they separated and went to wash up alone. It was still hot at the moment, so Song Luoyun simply found a secluded place outside and rinsed himself with a bucket of water.
It was much more convenient for Su Huazhu here to wash up. She made a wooden basin that she could sit in comfortably, and then sat in it to wash. After washing, you can pour it out in two times, which is a little troublesome, but it is much better than just wiping your body.
Moreover, she didn't feel it was inconvenient. It was very good to have such conditions.
After washing up, Su Huazhu comfortably went into the small room inside to sleep.
Although the room was not big, only a few square meters, apart from a two-meter by three-meter kang, there was only enough space on the floor for turning around.
But, she also likes this little house that belongs to her very much. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs. There were mattresses and quilts, and two boxes, one for personal clothes and the other for valuables.
Su Huazhu lay on the kang happily, with a smile on her face that she had never seen before.
This place is good, it’s really good here. Not far away are her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews. She suddenly has a sense of belonging.
With such joy, she fell asleep without realizing it.
It was late at night, probably before three in the morning, when Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan quietly got up and set off again.
They made an appointment with the mutton seller to trade at the intersection on the east side of the commune at four o'clock.
It just so happened that Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan both knew the road to the east, and they also knew that the production teams outside Mentougou Commune entered and exited the commune from the four directions of east, west, south and north.
They, the Baitougou Production Team, took the southern road, which was not far from the eastern road, less than one kilometer away.
At 4:20 in the morning, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan arrived at the southern intersection.
The couple first secretly observed the terrain here, and finally squatted in a dimly lit place and waited.
Sure enough, just after four o'clock, the sound of pushing a cart and walking could be heard in the dark and silent night. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the bleating of sheep.
After a while, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan heard the breathing and talking of the person pushing the cart.
"Hey, where are you?! Didn't we agree on this time?!"
"Hey, where are they?! Didn't you say that the people who bought the lamb from you were a man and a woman?! Where are they now?! Are you kidding us?!"
The two men who were talking were pushing the cart and talking, while craning their necks to look around.
"What? At this hour, did we meet at the wrong place?!"
"Boss, how do you do things? How can you make the wrong appointment?!"
"Brother, I think the place should be correct. I remember I said this place."
"Where's that person?!"
The two men muttered in confusion while looking around to make sure there was really no one there.
“Here it is.”
At this time, at the signal of his wife, Su Huaiyuan slowly stood up and waved and shouted at the two people in a low voice.
The two men suddenly saw a person standing up two or three meters away, and they couldn't help but be shocked: "..."
People scare people to death.
No, why are you hiding in such a dark place? ! The people were right under their noses, but they didn't even see it.
늀…It’s hard to comment.
"Uncle, why are you squatting here?! We thought you guys weren't coming?!"
When the young man selling mutton saw that the buyer had really come, he said nonchalantly that he was finally relieved.
On the contrary, these three little lambs were not brought in vain.
"Wouldn't it be easy for people to find out?"
Su Huaiyuan thought it was very funny and imitated the young man and told the truth.
"That's right."
The young man selling mutton agreed very much. He actually walked up to the man without noticing him. What a great place.
The second brother next to him: "..."
Qiao Jiuru, who was still squatting and not being discovered, said: "..."
"Uncle, where is my sister-in-law? Why isn't she here?!"
If he doesn't come, how can he get the three little lambs back? ! Even the young man selling mutton was worried about him.
"I'm here."
Qiao Jiuru didn't expect that he would be asked this question. He stood up from the ground with a chuckle, and patted his legs which were almost numb from squatting as he spoke.
scare.
Why is there another one? !
Aren't they blind? !
There was another one on the ground, but they were so careless that they didn't notice it.
The young man selling mutton and his second brother were frightened again by Qiao Jiuru's elusiveness, and their hearts beat faster.
"Sister-in-law, no wonder we didn't find you."
The sister-in-law was dressed in black from head to toe, and considering the darkness of the night, she didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
"Old man, stop talking nonsense. It's almost dawn. Comrade, we brought these three lambs of yours. We weighed them at home. One is 16.6 jin, one is 17.9 jin, and one is 18.4 jin, totaling 12.9 jin. According to the price you and the old man agreed on, 80 cents per jin, that's 42.32 yuan. We'll charge 42.30 yuan, and don't erase the 2 cents."
The old man's second brother was frightened twice. Now he just wants to complete the transaction and go back quickly to avoid any accidents.
"Comrade, let's make it an even number, forty-two. This sheep is great, we'll buy one from you next time. My wife will be dead in two months, do you have any ewes for sale?! I want to buy another ewe in two months so that my eldest grandson can drink goat milk."
Qiao Jiuru started bargaining again. It wasn't that she was short of the thirty cents, but in this day and age people didn't haggle over small details. It seemed unusual for her to be like an ordinary person, and she didn't want others to think she was too generous.
"Okay, I'll give you forty-two dollars. I have ewes, but they're not priced that high anymore."
When his second brother heard that the other party wanted to buy his mother again, he knew that the other party must be from a wealthy family and was willing to spend money, so these two people would become their long-term customers.
Qiao Jiuru counted out forty-two yuan and handed it to him, while pointing to the two large baskets at his feet to show them.
"Okay, let's talk about the price of the ewes next time. After all, there are still two months to go."
"Little brother, help us put the sheep into these two baskets."
After the old man and his second brother counted out the forty-two yuan, they put the two lambs into the baskets without saying a word.
"Just give it to me, I'll put it on the bike."
The third lamb was taken by Su Huaiyuan and put into the basket tied to the back of the bicycle leaning against the tree.
"Okay, then, comrades, we'll leave first."
The old man and his second brother took the old man to greet Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan politely, then turned around to pull the flatbed truck they brought. I didn’t go into the commune and just returned the same way.
Qiao Jiuru watched the two of them pulling the flatbed cart for dozens of meters, then quickly put the basket containing the three lambs into the space, and then he and Su Huaiyuan got on their bicycles and ran away immediately.
After riding for about ten minutes, Qiao Jiuru brought both the person and the bike into the space.
