This freed up a lot of space, and many people climbed onto the tractor in a hurry.
The sisters-in-law of the mole-bearing lady tried their best to squeeze in next to the mole-bearing lady, but were blocked outside by the lady with the green headscarf.
The lady with the mole was so moved that she hugged the lady with the green headscarf's arm with tears in her eyes.
He quietly stuffed a few fruit candies into her hand.
For a moment, the lady in the green headscarf resisted even more fiercely.
After arriving at the county town, everyone put on their backpacks with a sly look on their faces.
What the villagers lack most are cloth coupons, sugar coupons and the like.
It's too risky to exchange these things on the black market.
It would be better to go to the staff quarters and exchange some bills with others.
Because Da Niu fell into the river, his parents refused to let him out.
Otherwise, the one jumping the most at this time would be the big bull.
Lu Zhiye helped Wen Sihe jump out of the car, and the two of them walked directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as He Hongmei saw two people coming, she waved at them with a smile on her face.
"Are you here to buy New Year's goods? Come and see what you need."
Wen Sihe also had a genuine smile on her face and bought some cakes and candies etc.
Then Lu Zhiye stuffed another small backpack to He Hongmei: "Sister Hongmei, there are a lot of things going on at home recently.
We were so busy that we didn't have time to come to you.
These things were exchanged with the villagers. They are wild mountain products and worthless. You can keep them for the New Year to add to your family's dishes!"
He Hongmei waved her hands repeatedly: "Oh, we have everything at home, but you just came back and need to buy everything, so there are many places to spend money.
The more you can save, the better. Some dishes can be eaten without much effort. "
He Hongmei pushed the backpack for a long time but failed. Seeing Lu Zhiye's determination, she could only smile and put the things away.
After the two men left, the woman with pigtails next to them stood on tiptoe and took a look curiously: "What are these?
These country folks only gave us some dried wild vegetables and wild mushrooms, nothing of value.”
A look of displeasure flashed across He Hongmei's eyes, and she opened the backpack directly.
In previous years, Lu Zhiye sent a lot of things to their family, but most of them were mountain products.
Although it is not valuable, the advantage is that the quantity is large, and the scattered food is enough to eat for half a year.
He Hongmei originally thought it was still the same things, so she took the backpack off the counter and opened it to take a look.
On top was a piece of pork as wide as an arm.
There was also a fat chicken underneath.
They were all killed and wrapped in oil paper.
The woman with pigtails widened her eyes and reached out to touch the skewer of pork.
He Hongmei quickly slapped her hand away: "What are you doing? How can we eat if you've touched it?"
The woman with pigtails stammered, "Why would you send so many things?
Whenever the poor relatives from our hometown came, they would give us some wild mountain products, and when they left, my mother-in-law would also give them a few feet of cloth.
I'm so fed up with them!"
The woman's eyes rolled around, and she said to He Hongmei in a low voice, "Hongmei, tell me the truth. This young man looks tall and strong. Does he often go to the mountains?"
He Hongmei raised her eyebrows and said, "Look at this pork, it has so much fat, it must be domestically raised.
The wild boars in the mountains are very skinny, how could there be so many fat ones?
Their village slaughters pigs and distributes grain every year, so it must be that the pigs were slaughtered in the village.
He was thinking of me as his sister, and as for the chickens, they were all raised at home.
In the city, a family has a set number of chickens to raise, but in the countryside, no one cares about so many.”
The woman with pigtails slapped her thigh in envy, and suddenly thought of something, so she pulled He Hongmei to the back of the yard and said, "Hongmei, my daughter-in-law is in confinement now, and she's clamoring for chicken soup.
Can you buy me some chickens and a little pork?
The pork at the meat processing plant is 80 cents now. I'll give you one yuan. Is that okay with you?"
He Hongmei glanced at her and said, "What you said is really funny. Do you give meat tickets when you buy pork?"
"Oh, what kind of meat tickets do they need in the countryside? Your brother has brought you so much meat.
They must have shared a lot, and some people couldn’t finish it.”
He Hongmei sneered and said, "Recently, several nearby villages have been distributing pork. If you want to eat some, why don't you just go to the village and ask?
There's no point telling me, what's the price on the black market? You know it.
You are so embarrassed to say this, I am too embarrassed to go find someone."
He Hongmei patted her clothes while speaking, "There are many people buying New Year's goods today. I have to go to the front to help."
As she spoke, she walked towards the counter.
The woman with pigtails stomped her feet in anger!
Not long after Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe left, they heard cursing voices coming from not far away.
"Is this person crazy? He saw my son and dragged him to claim that he was her child?
It scared our kids!"
The person who spoke was a short-haired woman, holding a child of about six or seven years old in her arms.
An old lady took a cane and hit the man in the corner: "If you are crazy, don't come out and harm others."
The woman in the corner made a whining sound.
Wen Sihe looked closely and saw that the woman had disheveled hair and was dirty.
A lot of the cotton in the cotton-padded jacket was exposed.
She stared blankly at the child in the short-haired woman's arms.
He was making a threatening move and was about to rush over there, but when he turned around, a man kicked him out.
The man held his wife and children tightly and shouted at the top of his voice: "Whose lunatic is this?
Can you do something about it? Are you going to let her pick on kids on the street?"
A man who was eating sunflower seeds nearby and knew the inside story shook his head and said, "Everyone in their family was killed. The husband and the eldest son were shot, and the youngest son was drowned in the urinal.
Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful!"
His words made the man pause. No one was a cruel person, so the man opened his mouth.
The next moment, I heard another person say, “What’s so pitiful?
They beat someone's daughter to death and pushed someone's child into ice water, almost drowning him. Why don't they think of others' pity at this time?"
The man had not expected this to happen, and the sympathy on his face disappeared.
Only then did Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe realize that the woman was actually Zhang Cuilan.
At this moment, how could she still have the arrogant look she had before?
