Bling: ? ? ?
Before she could react, a powerful slammed into her from behind, sending her sprawling to the ground. Just as she was about to hit her face, Sang Shen, quicker than her brain, grabbed Bu Ling.
This prevented her from being disfigured.
Wu Yuanyuan and Tie He hurriedly helped Bu Ling up. After Bu Ling regained her balance, she tried to pat her chest, but she was dressed too warmly and ended up patting nothing.
It was only then that Sangshen realized what was happening. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Bling shook her head: "It's nothing, thank goodness you grabbed me, you saved my life." If she had been lying on the ground in a crowded place, her life would have been in danger.
Seeing that Bu Ling was truly unharmed, Sang Shen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not too much to repay a life-saving debt with my body, is it?"
"Not at all, not at all. Besides, it's not certain who will suffer a loss." Buling retorted, not to be outdone.
Wu Yuanyuan and Tie He: Can't you be mindful of the occasion?!
Sangshen understood the emotion in Bling's eyes, and chuckled as she flicked her forehead: "Just wait and see~"
Bling's ears were tickled by his laughter.
"Ahem. Ling, did you see anyone push you just now?" Wu Yuanyuan quickly changed the subject.
Bling snapped back to reality, glanced behind her, and shook her head: "No, I just felt someone bump into me, and you all know the rest."
Sangshen recalled the close call she had just experienced, and a fierce glint appeared in her eyes: "Don't let me see him again."
Bling had the same expression as him: "Me too!"
Wu Yuanyuan and Tie He: Speechless once again.
"Ling, shall we continue shopping?" Or you two could go home?
"Why not go shopping? We're already here." How can we let others ruin our mood?
"Come on, let's keep shopping." Buling shook her hand, only then realizing that her hand was still being held by Sangshen. She scratched Sangshen's palm.
The mulberry tree remained unmoved, as if it hadn't noticed anything at all.
Bling: Okay, then let's hold hands.
Since there were so many people around, and it was safer to hold hands, she acquiesced.
Sang Shen smiled secretly, feeling the girl's soft little hand in his palm. His heart pounded wildly, but he maintained a composed and handsome demeanor.
This minor incident did not dampen the four people's spirits at the market.
Continuing along the crowd, they stopped at the meat stall. This stall was the most crowded; the meat there came from the pigs that were left over after the farmers had finished paying their quotas.
They couldn't bear to eat it themselves, so they would take it to the market to exchange for other things, without needing meat coupons.
"Do we really have to buy it?" Bling hesitated.
"Of course, it's so rare, you don't need a sex ticket." Seeing Bu Ling's scared look, Wu Yuanyuan stretched out her hand: "How much do you want to buy, I'll buy it for you."
Buling quickly handed her ten yuan: "The more the better. If it's not enough, you can pay for it for me, and I'll give it back to you when we get out." She said sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan, you're the best!"
Wu Yuanyuan was very pleased. "Tiehe, if your family is buying it, I'll buy it for you too."
It was crowded with women, so Tiehe really couldn't help: "Yuanyuan, how about we forget about it? I still have sex tickets, we..."
"Stop dawdling, how much do you want?" If you keep hesitating, all the good meat will be gone.
Tie He had no choice but to hand her the money: "Buy whatever you want."
Wu Yuanyuan nodded, rolled up her sleeves, and charged into the encirclement like a female warrior.
Buling and Sangshen were both somewhat impressed, while Tiehe looked worriedly at Wu Yuanyuan's slender (not really) back.
Fifteen minutes later, Wu Yuanyuan squeezed out with a bright smile, carrying a large piece of meat in each hand: "Here, five catties each, no coupons, one yuan per catty, this is for you, Yong, and Sangs."
Sang Shen narrowed her eyes. What was she going to say just now? Mediocre? Incompetent doctor?
"Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan!" She put the meat into the basket behind the mulberry tree and continued forward.
She stopped at a stall selling sesame seeds and peanuts: "Ma'am, how much are the peanuts and sesame seeds?"
The woman tending the stall was pale-faced. When someone asked, she smiled weakly and said, "Peanuts, cough cough, seven cents a pound, cough cough, sesame seeds eight cents."
Buling turned to Mulberry and asked, "Can you still carry it?"
Sangshen weighed the basket behind him and gritted his teeth: "Of course! How can a real man say no?"
"That's good." Buling turned her head: "Big sister, twenty catties of peanuts and two catties of sesame seeds."
Hearing what the little black girl said, Sangshen felt a pang of sympathy for herself. She should have known better than to boast; now, she had no choice but to keep bragging, even if it meant crawling on her knees.
This time, Wu Yuanyuan was quite generous: "I want thirty catties of peanuts and five catties of sesame seeds."
Bling glanced at her sideways.
Wu Yuanyuan whispered, "It can be used to extract oil!"
Buling understood. So that's how it is. Oil is now a cash crop, meant for export, so every household is rationed, and the amount is pitifully small—only two ounces of oil per person per month, which for Buling is just the time it takes to eat two meals.
She still had a lot of oil left in her storage space, so she hadn't paid attention to that aspect.
However, now that she knows, she has no intention of adding more. Firstly, she doesn't need them, and secondly, what if she sees other things she likes and can't carry all the mulberries?
Mulberry: Thank you!
The sesame stall was the last one on the left. The group walked to the end and started walking back, following the stalls on the right.
The stalls on the right are very similar to those on the left, selling almost the same things.
But there were tofu vendors selling it for two cents a pound, no coupons required. After consulting with Sangshen, Buling bought twenty pounds. They couldn't finish it all and made it into frozen tofu, which would be delicious in hot pot or noodles.
Mulberry: !!!
Then she bought two fish from another stall. It's Chinese New Year, how can we not have fish? When Buling's clutches reached for the chickens and rabbits, Sangshen stopped her: "Our baskets are full, and buying chickens and rabbits will dirty the tofu."
