Zhuang Guoliang was absent-minded, and suddenly a piece of fat fell into his arms. The young woman's face turned colorful and she gave him a wink.

His hair stood on end and he pushed the person away. Jiang Hongmei lost her balance and was pushed to the ground, falling flat on her face.

"Brother Zhuang, what are you doing!"

Jiang Hongmei twisted her braid and was helped up by Wang Juhua. "Hongmei, are you okay?"

Zhuang Guoliang felt disgusted. Not only was the young woman weird-looking, but she was also untidy and had greasy hair. His hands were covered in grease.

But when he thought that she was a member of the Jiang family and might be a relative in the future, he tried to hold back his disgust and apologized, "Are you okay? I'm sorry."

"I'm fine. I know you didn't mean it, Brother Zhuang."

Widow Liu never thought that Jiang Hongmei was so shameless that she dared to throw herself into a man's arms in broad daylight.

Seeing that Zhuang Guoliang looked unhappy, he quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mother of Zhi, where are your pears?"

Seeing Widow Liu asking about Jiang Li, Jiang Hongmei quickly said, "She dressed up very beautifully and went out early in the morning. It seems that she went to the county."

"what?"

"When did she leave, this bitch..."

Wang Juhua had just started to curse when she remembered that there were outsiders in the house and stopped talking.

"You didn't even stop her when you saw her going out," Wang Juhua was furious. This damn girl had been unruly since she fell ill two years ago. She was like a completely different person.

Could it be that it is possessed by some dirty thing?

"Mom, you know that.

Jiang Li usually likes to go to the county town, and always comes back with small bags in her hands.

If I ask one more question, she will get angry. How can I dare to stop her? "

Widow Liu looked unhappy. Everyone in the village knew that Li Zi was a virtuous person, so how could she be such a restless person as Jiang Hongmei mentioned?

Zhuang Guoliang's face looked even worse. Why did Jiang Li run out?

If a woman is so restless, who will do all the housework?

Don't you want the old men down there to come back and cook for themselves?

"Mom, it's a rare occasion for Brother Zhuang and Aunt Liu to come over, why don't you just have dinner at home? I'll cook two dishes for you."

Wang Juhua was not happy. Jiang Li was going on a blind date, and her family had to pay for food. She was like a wolf without a sheep.

The 200 yuan betrothal gift has been handed over, so she should at least get 50 yuan.

So I bit my tongue and agreed.

Widow Liu pulled Zhuang Guoliang aside and advised, "Don't listen to the nonsense these two women say. Li Zi is not that kind of person.

Who knows what urgent matter it is that he needs to go to the county town today?

You've finally come here, so why don't we wait a while?"

Zhuang Guoliang was filled with anger. Did Jiang Li look down on him so much?

You knew you were going on a blind date, but you still went to the city? He sat down with resentment. He had to get to the bottom of it today.

The sun was high in the sky, Jiang Li got out of the car and headed straight for the supply and marketing cooperative.

She didn't have much money, five yuan in pension, five yuan extorted from Jiang Hongmei, and the money she found in the east room last time, a total of ten yuan.

There is a department store in the county, but the clothes there are expensive, so Eriya didn't even consider it.

After a round of wandering around the supply and marketing cooperative, I discovered that not only could I not afford to buy clothes, but even buying a piece of cloth required a cloth coupon.

There are very few colors to choose from, mostly black, blue and gray.

Even so, the counter was still crowded with people.

Jiang Li felt a little discouraged, and her stomach started to growl at this moment, so she walked towards 눓뀘, which sold cookies and snacks.

I can't afford clothes, but it wouldn't be a wasted trip if I bought some food.

"Comrade salesman, give me a pound of calcium milk cookies and another pound of chicken cake."

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll come back after I weigh what I have on hand," the salesperson at the food counter was unusually easy to talk to, completely different from his usual indifferent and dismissive demeanor.

Jiang Li was a little surprised, but she didn't think much about it. She just stared at the salesperson shoveling the cookies.

Loose cookies are mostly defective products on the production line, and the selling price is a little different, but the taste is still good.

Some cookies were relatively intact, while others were broken into pieces. They were usually sold together, but the salesperson only picked out the broken pieces and gave them to Erika to shovel.

Jiang Li quickly spoke up to stop him, "Comrade salesman, the cookies you scooped for me are all full of foam, how can I eat them?"

Feng Liping greeted everyone with a smile as soon as she came on stage today, and she was already impatient.

When asked by Jiang Li, the resentment in her heart showed on her face. Country people just love to take advantage.

She threw the shovel down and said, "This is how we sell our bulk cookies.

Besides, you've picked up all the good ones, who would want the bad ones?"

Jiang Li said patiently, "Bye, I don't want the cookies. I want two pounds of chicken cake."

"I've already made up my mind, but you don't want it anymore. Why are you here to tease me?"

Feng Liping was a person who could not bear to be bullied. She had more requests from others than anyone else when she worked at the supply and marketing cooperative. This country bumpkin even dared to make a request in front of her, which made her furious.

"You have to buy this cookie today! Don't leave the supply and marketing cooperative if you don't buy it!"

Jiang Li was also angry. She would rather mind her own business, but she let this woman take advantage of her and bully others.

"I don't want it today. Can you see if I can walk out of this door?"

Feng Liping snorted, "I think you didn't bring any money to deposit here, and you country girl is pretending to be like this!"

"I am poor but I am proud. Why do you look down on the peasant comrades? The food you eat is grown by me."

"The leaders have said that workers and peasants are of one mind. Do you mean that you don't obey the leadership's policies?"

More and more people gathered around, most of them were wearing patched clothes like Jiang Li, and they looked at Feng Liping with dissatisfaction.

"That's right, you still blame us country folk. Without us country folk to grow food, you guys would be starving!"

"Isn't this the style of Miss Master?"

"Report this to their leader! This is outrageous!"

Feng Liping noticed many malicious looks and was criticized by everyone. She was so scared that she didn't know what to say.

In addition, Jiang Li accused her of disrespecting the peasant class, which made her sweat coldly.

Her eyes suddenly turned red and she ran away, covering her face.

A pair of bony hands picked up the shovel that Feng Liping had thrown aside, and Qi Shaoqiang took a paper bag to pack the cake.

Weighed on a fair scale, it was exactly two kilograms, and his movements were brisk and efficient.

"Comrade Jiang Li, two pounds of egg cake, right? It's weighed, please take it."

He looked up at the angry crowd and said, "Everyone, I apologize to you on behalf of Comrade Feng Liping.

I will report her rude remarks to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative and give her appropriate punishment."

"Who are you? Can you control them?

Less than two days after we left, this woman came back to work as if nothing had happened. "

"I am the deputy director of Wuyang Food Factory. As a veteran, I guarantee that what I just said counts.

The supply and marketing cooperatives will definitely come up with a result, and we welcome public supervision."

After these words were spoken, the onlookers had nothing more to say and slowly dispersed.

Jiang Li handed over the money for two pounds of chicken cake, then thought for a moment and took out another dollar.

"Thank you for the meat buns you gave me last time. This is to pay you back."

The banknotes, still warm from body temperature, fell into Qi Shaoqiang's hands. His palms felt as if they were holding a piece of branding iron, burning him so much that he felt uncomfortable all over.
