Chapter 102
Among these old items are not only gold bracelets and rings, but even jade pendants.
It is something that cannot be taken out casually in this day and age, but it will definitely be valuable in the future.
Tang Wan looked at the pile of things and fell into deep thought. She put the things in the space first and waited for a while. Finally, the people from the street office left.
She waited here for another hour, but the owner of the item did not come, probably because he had not yet escaped.
Tang Wan didn't dare to go to the street office to inquire, so she could only change her clothes and leave the space, then ride her bicycle back to the compound.
If you have the chance to meet the owner of these things in the future, return them to him.
Tang Wan felt relieved after thinking this way. Before entering the compound, she put the wool into her backpack.
As for the other ten kilograms of wool, she only took out five kilograms, and she planned to secretly use the remaining five kilograms to knit sweaters for her parents.
From a distance, Tang Wan saw Xu Cuiying sitting in the yard knitting a sweater, and she parked her bicycle in front of her house.
"Sister Cuiying, I also bought some wool. I will come over later to learn how to knit a sweater with you."
"So soon?"
Xu Cuiying marveled at Tang Wan's amazing mobility, and Tang Wan mysteriously showed her the wool in the basket on her back.
"I didn't bring many clothes with me when I came to join the army. If I get some clothes, it won't be cold in winter."
"Too."
Xu Cuiying stroked the ball of yarn and said with satisfaction, "The quality is good. Hey, why is the color not right?"
She thought Tang Wan was deceived, and said hurriedly: "Sister Wan Wan.
You bought the wrong ball of yarn. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and exchange it for another one."
“It’s not a bad deal.”
Tang Wan lowered her voice and said, "At 50 cents a pound of processed goods, I can knit a few sweaters.
Whether you count it or not, the color is not bad, it has a unique flavor. "
“So cheap?”
Xu Cuiying suddenly became envious. She couldn't let go of the ball of wool and said, "Does the supply and marketing cooperative still have some? I'll go buy some too."
"If Sister Cuiying wants it, I'll give you half."
Tang Wan had thought of this a long time ago, so she put half of it in the space.
Hearing this, Xu Cuiying's eyes lit up, "Thank you, sister Wanwan, then I will shamelessly share some of it."
As she spoke, she quickly went back to the house and took out a dollar to give to Tang Wan, and only asked for two kilograms of the wool ball.
After dividing them, Xu Cuiying smiled shyly and said, "I will teach you how to start stitching in the afternoon."
"Then I'll go back and cook."
Tang Wan rode back with a smile on her face, and just in time saw Tang Zhou sneaking around with Wang Shengli running next door.
"Zhou Zhou?"
Tang Wan raised her eyebrows in confusion, feeling that something was not right. Tang Zhou didn't seem like such an unstable person.
"sister."
Across the courtyard wall, Tang Zhou laughed, "I'll help Shengli dig some earthworms."
"Um?"
Tang Wan noticed that there was something wrong with his clothes. She parked her bike and rushed to Tang Zhou.
Then they saw Tang Zhou all wet, like a chicken in soup.
"What's going on?!!"
Tang Wan's eyes became sharp and she pulled Tang Zhou over and said, "Good guy, you are totally useless."
"I……"
Tang Zhou has always been an obedient child, and he stuttered a little for the first time.
Tang Wan's gaze fell on Shengli behind Tang Zhou. Fortunately, he was fine.
"Victory, you tell me?"
"I……"
Wang Shengli glanced at Tang Zhou and smiled innocently, "My mother called me back.
Brother Zhou, you can explain it to Sister Wan yourself."
After saying this, he quickly fled, leaving Tang Zhou and Tang Wan looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Tell me, what's going on?!"
Her tone was already mixed with anger. Tang Zhou pursed his lips and said, "I just want to catch some fish for Mom to replenish her body."
His mother was injured, and he heard that fish soup was the best tonic.
Little did he know that he accidentally slipped into the river while fishing. Fortunately, he was strong and climbed out by holding on to the branches by the river.
"What can I say about you?"
Tang Wan was furious. She never thought it was because of this. Looking at Tang Zhou's wet appearance, she said coldly:
"Go in and change your clothes!"
"good."
When Tang Zhou came back just now, he was afraid that his sister would see him, so he wanted to hide at Shengli's house.
By now he had been discovered, so he obediently went into the house to take a shower and change clothes.
But his sister didn't scold him, instead Tang Zhou felt strange.
He felt that his sister was planning something big, and it turned out to be true.
When he came out of the shower, he found that Tang Wan had already prepared lunch.
There was a milky white fish soup on the table, and a salted vegetable on the side.
"This is yours and this is mine."
Tang Wan pushed the coarse grain steamed bun in front of Tang Zhou. The fish soup and rice were for Tang Wan.
The coarse grains and pickled vegetables belonged to Tang Zhou and were clearly separated.
Tang Zhou:!!!
"Sister, I was wrong."
Tang Zhou pouted with a look of grievance. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
He was used to eating rice, so how could he be used to eating simple meals?
"This is your punishment."
Tang Wan frowned and said, "I don't usually provide you with food and drink, how dare you do such a dangerous thing.
It seems I am too used to you, huh! "
She ate the fragrant white rice and occasionally drank a sip of fish soup. The fragrance penetrated into Tang Zhou's nose.
Tang Zhou's stomach growled, but he could only eat the steamed buns that got stuck in his throat.
Compared to a scolding, this kind of punishment is more painful for Tang Zhou.
Perhaps she was trying to irritate him, Tang Wan ate very slowly, and it took her more than ten minutes to finish the palm-sized crucian carp.
Tang Wan didn't put down her chopsticks until Tang Zhou's eyes turned red and he was about to cry.
"Wash the dishes."
"good."
Tang Zhou pursed his lips, looked at the empty dishes and chopsticks on the table, and fell into deep remorse.
Tang Wan had already taken the wool to Xu Cuiying's house across the street. The original owner was dexterous, and Tang Wan seemed to have inherited a little bit of it.
Xu Cuiying taught Tang Wan the braiding stitch method once, and she quickly memorized it and started making sweaters in no time.
Xu Cuiying couldn't help but praise her, "If you hadn't said you had never learned it before, I would have thought you were lying to me.
Sister Wanwan, you are so talented that you can learn it just by watching it once."
"That's also because Sister Cuiying taught me well."
Tang Wan continued with the formation in her hands with a smile, which made Xu Cuiying very happy.
"It's better to get along with you, sister. Unlike my sister-in-law, she only makes people angry."
Xu Cuiying took out some dried sweet potatoes and ate them with Tang Wan. She brought them from her hometown when she got married.
It was soft and sticky and tasted good. While knitting a sweater, Tang Wan glanced at Tang Zhou across from her from time to time.
He didn't dare to do anything wrong in the afternoon and only took Wang Shengli to catch earthworms in the yard.
It seems that this method of punishing him is not bad.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan made crucian carp and tofu soup in the evening, and also braised lion's head with vegetables grown in the yard.
After Lu Huaijing came back, he washed his hands and went to the table, and found that Tang Zhou's dishes were different from theirs.
The black steamed bun was paired with some pickled cabbage dumplings, and the aggrieved boy's mouth was so full of anger that you could hang an oil pot on it.
"Wife, what's going on?"
Lu Huaijing tried to intercede for Tang Zhou, "Did Zhou Zhou make you unhappy?"
