He Hongmei is a good person in every way except for one small flaw: she likes beautiful men and women!
Even the osmanthus cakes sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives have to be the neat and good-looking ones!
I saw the little girl said to me, "Sister, I need ten feet of cloth, please."
He Hongmei immediately smiled happily and deftly pulled out ten feet of evenly dyed cloth.
"Little girl, even though the cloth is a little uneven, the quality is the same as what we usually buy."
He Hongmei was about to chat with the little girl for a while, but someone behind her urged her, "Hurry up, we are all waiting!"
"I know, I know. Why are you rushing me?" He Hongmei's face was full of unhappiness. Going to work was already not fun, and couldn't she let people see something beautiful?
Wen Sihe looked at her and laughed. It seems that no matter which era, there are people who love beauty.
After she and that lady squeezed out, several other ladies behind them hurried over.
"Go quickly, go quickly, there's no limit on the quantity, there are still a few left, they're almost gone."
The old lady urged him hurriedly, and took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and stuffed them into Wen Sihe's mouth. The two of them leaned against the counter.
Looking at this group of people making so much noise, I was overjoyed.
He had no recollection of the heated argument he had just had with someone else.
On the other side, Meng Xiuyuan was struggling to carry a basket of things on his back and rushed from the ticket office to the ox cart.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the ox cart was still there.
He thought he would miss it, luckily it’s okay!
When Mr. Lu saw Meng Xiuyuan, he remembered that he was Wen Sihe's uncle, so he quickly stood up and greeted him.
Seeing Meng Xiuyuan hunched over and almost collapsed from exhaustion, he immediately reached out to take the backpack and put it on the ox cart.
Uncle Lu cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, you must be the uncle of Xiao Wen, the educated youth. I am Lu Zhiye's uncle. Hello!"
Uncle Lu wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes and greeted Meng Xiuyuan, imitating the way Uncle Lu greeted others in the past.
Meng Xiuyuan looked at Mr. Lu's black and dirty nails and cracked hands, but he did not feel disgusted.
He tidied up his slightly messy hair, straightened his collar, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Mr. Lu Sanye.
But that was all. Later, when Mr. Lu San saw that the atmosphere was a little silent, he quickly smiled and said a few words to compliment Wen Sihe.
Meng Xiuyuan just ignores him. Master Lu has lived for so many years and has seen all kinds of people.
Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was not interested in his niece's affairs, he immediately understood that Wen Sihe's relationship with them might not be very good.
He didn't say anything else, took out a pipe from his pocket and started taking puffs of it.
Meng Xiuyuan waited and waited, but the car was still empty, with only him.
His stomach was rumbling with hunger. He pressed his uncomfortable stomach and looked at Master Lu.
"When will we return to the village?"
Uncle Lu raised his pipe and pointed in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative: "They all went to grab the defective cloth.
In our small county, this kind of thing only happens once a month. If there aren’t many people, it will probably take an hour or so.”
Meng Xiuyuan's face stiffened slightly. He sighed heavily, covered his stomach, and sat on the ox cart without saying anything.
Mr. Lu San naturally also heard the rumbling sound of his stomach and reached out to touch his cloth bag.
There is still a piece of cake in it. Oh, never mind, just give it to him.
Meng Xiuyuan looked at the multi-grain cake handed to him and was a little surprised.
He looked up at Master Lu, and saw that Master Lu's old face was as bright as a flower. He handed the cake forward and said, "It is a blessing for my Xiao Ye to marry the educated youth Xiao Wen.
You have come all the way here, we cannot let you go hungry, eat quickly."
When Lu Zhiye married Wen Sihe, Mr. Lu Sanye was always uneasy. On the one hand, he felt that such a good girl, and the current conditions were really a bit unfair to her.
On the other hand, after all the back and forth, the two children decided to get married without even getting to meet their parents.
He had always been somewhat uneasy, now that he had met the girl's family, especially her uncle.
In their place, as the local dialect says, mother is more important than uncle. As an elder, he naturally hopes that the young couple can be recognized by the family.
Live happily and peacefully.
Meng Xiuyuan looked a little embarrassed. Thinking of his attitude towards Mr. Lu San just now, he felt really ashamed!
He really wanted to wave his hand and stuff the cake back, but he had no choice because his stomach was really not cooperating.
In the end, he could only take the pancake and said hesitantly, "Thank you!"
Mr. Lu Sanye shook his head repeatedly, smiled happily, and smoked his pipe, which had long been extinguished, with relish.
By the time Wen Sihe and the others came back, it was already past three o'clock.
Wen Sihe was a little surprised to see Meng Xiuyuan and Mr. Lu Sanye getting along so well.
She stuffed the defective cloth into Mr. Lu's arms and carefully used a backpack to separate Mr. Lu and Meng Xiuyuan.
"Everyone is here, hold on tight, let's go!"
Master Lu raised the whip high, then brought it down gently, humming an unknown tune.
Anyone could see that he was in a good mood.
The aunts on the ox cart were also excitedly discussing the defective cloth they had just snatched.
A round-faced woman reached out and touched the cloth, and exclaimed: "Today's cloth is five cents cheaper than before!"
"That's right. I don't know what went wrong with this textile factory. Why are there so many defective fabrics all of a sudden?"
"Who says it's not true? If it was in the past, not only would the quantity be limited, but all of them would have been snapped up by people in the county. How could we have a chance to get them?"
"I bought twenty feet today and made a set for my man. Each of the family members will have a pair of pants. That's enough!"
"Oh, I didn't think I'd buy much today, so I didn't bring that much money! What a loss!"
Everyone in the car was chatting with each other and having a great time. This was the first time Meng Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the front seat, had witnessed this.
It turns out that in the countryside, this little defective cloth would cause villagers to fight over it.
I can make new clothes for the whole family...
The ox cart slowly drove into the village, and Wen Sihe was the first to pick up the basket filled with noodles and pork and put it on his back.
Meng Xiuyuan was left dumbfounded. He had never thought that his niece had so many little tricks!
He picked up the backpack beside him angrily, and as soon as he touched it, he found something wrong!
The backpack was so light that it looked like it contained nothing at all. I was just about to reach out and flip it over.
But then he realized that this was not a good idea, so he could only carry the backpack in his hand and follow Wen Sihe.
When I got home, Meng Youdao was sitting on a recliner basking in the sun!
And Lu Zhiye was sitting in the yard chopping firewood!
As soon as he saw them coming in, Lu Zhiye quickly put down his axe and went to meet them.
He reached out to take the backpack from Wen Sihe, lifted the weight, and looked at Wen Sihe with concern.
Wen Sihe winked at him playfully and pulled Lu Zhiye towards Meng Youdao.
