Chapter 92
"Actually I knew it all, but I just couldn't control myself."
Xu Cuiying said embarrassedly: "I'm fine now, I see you are planning to go to the city?
You go ahead and do your work. I'll just take a good rest for a while."
"Okay, if you have any problem, just shout it out. Most people in the compound have good intentions."
Tang Wan knew that people of this era were simple and honest, and people like Qiu Dazao and Cheng Xiaoyue were a minority.
Upon hearing this, Xu Cuiying agreed to everything, and Tang Wan then rode her bicycle out of the compound with peace of mind.
She had to go to Maozhuang Brigade first. Sister Xinghua was about to give birth, and Xinghua's mother asked her to buy some pig's trotters with brown sugar and red dates.
Tang Wan got all these directly from the Space Mall. As soon as she entered the Maozhuang Brigade, she saw everyone working in the fields.
It was the season when corn was ripe. The female comrades were picking corn in the fields while the male comrades were carrying the corn to the threshing ground.
There were also some people, young and old, breaking corn kernels in the threshing floor.
During the harvest season, the people in the cowshed worked with everyone. Tang Wan caught a glimpse of Tang Shi carrying a load of corn.
Qin Su was busy in the crowd. Seeing that the two of them were in good spirits, Tang Wan felt relieved and walked towards Xinghua's parents' home.
When she arrived, Xinghua's mother was already waiting for her in the yard. When she saw her coming, she smiled from ear to ear.
"I was just talking about you, Comrade Tang, you came just in time. My daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat grandson last night!"
"Then let me congratulate you first."
Tang Wan parked her bike in her yard. She was genuinely happy about the birth of her newborn.
"The room smells of blood, so I won't let you in."
Xinghua's mother was in a very good mood, and Tang Wan didn't care about these little details. She handed the basket to Xinghua's mother.
There was a pound of brown sugar, a pound of red dates and four pig's trotters in it.
"I found someone to replace it according to the lady's request."
"Comrade Tang, the things you exchanged are always correct. Thank you in advance."
Xinghua Niang was very satisfied and lowered her voice to say to Tang Wan, "I have also prepared the things you like.
Please wait a moment, I will put the things away, and we will go and have a look together."
She went to the kitchen first to pack up the things her daughter-in-law needed for her confinement, and then she took Tang Wan to their backyard in a mysterious manner.
In the backyard there were fruit tree seedlings that she had picked long ago, including loquat seedlings, date tree seedlings, walnut tree seedlings, mulberry seedlings, and cherry tree seedlings.
"This is all I can get from the brigade for now. You know the brigade is very strict, otherwise private individuals would plant too many fruit trees."
"I know. Thank you, ma'am."
Tang Wan created an orchard in the space so that she can have whatever she wants to eat in the future.
In addition, because Tang Wan gave her so many things, Xinghua Niang also gave Tang Wan a lot of vegetable seeds.
Tang Wan naturally would not refuse, she happily accepted it, "Thank you, Auntie."
"I should thank you very much."
Xinghua Niang's reluctant eyes fell on a few small fish in the main room, and she caught one and gave it to Tang Wan.
"This is what his father caught in the river last night. Take one back and eat it."
“No, no.”
Tang Wan quickly refused, saying that someone in her family was in confinement after giving birth and they wanted to eat fish.
Tang Wan naturally confiscated it, but when she thought of the fish in the river, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Recently, she always secretly goes to the space to dig a fish pond, so that she can take advantage of the night to catch some fish and river water in the river.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan did not stay at Xinghua's house. She said a few words to Xinghua's mother and hurriedly left on her bicycle.
After leaving Maozhuang, the team threw these saplings into the space.
She first went to the post office to mail her newly written article and bought another sheet of stamps.
Thinking about the treasures she found last time, Tang Wan decided to go to the recycling station again.
When passing by the state-owned hotel, she vaguely saw Chunli coming out, with Pengcai following behind her.
"Chun Li, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
"Your uncle makes me do the hardest work every day. Look at my hands. They don't look like a girl's hands at all."
Chunli was stunned by Peng Cai's words, and she said angrily: "All the employees in the brown sugar factory do this.
If they can do it, why can't you? Do you think you are more noble than them or something? "
Chunli is simple-minded but not stupid. Plus, her family members often knock on the door, so her relationship with Pengcai is not good now.
Peng Cai pouted in grievance and muttered, "Then you don't have to do it?"
"I work for the union, so of course I don't have to do this."
Chunli was speechless. She raised her eyes and saw Tang Wan passing by. She quickly ran out with a smile on her face.
"Comrade Tang, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence. Are you working today?"
Tang Wan also had a good smile, which made Peng Cai, who was not far away, very angry.
Obviously, she and Chun-Li are best friends, so why does Chun-Li not trust her but trust others instead?
"Because today is the day to collect rations, we have a day off."
Chunli's family conditions are good, so she doesn't have to worry about competing for food supplies, so she has time to go out for a walk.
Tang Wan suddenly understood. No wonder she said there were very few people on the streets today. It turned out that they were queuing up to get rations.
Seeing how happily they were chatting, Peng Cai couldn't help but squeeze over, fearing that Tang Wan would snatch Chun Li away.
"Chun Li, let me go shopping with you again."
"No, I'm tired."
Chunli rejected her and did not say much to Tang Wan in front of Pengcai. The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.
It seems that Chunli is worried that Pengcai will hate her. She is really a kind girl.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan walked all the way to the recycling station, and saw the same boss from last time.
Seeing that it was Tang Wan, he just raised his eyelids lightly and spoke in a very indifferent tone.
"Old rules."
"Okay, Master!"
Tang Wan smiled and took out a juicy pear from the basket and placed it on the table next to the master.
"Master has a sweet mouth."
There was no one at the door at this moment, so Tang Wan walked in quickly and looked at her back.
The eldest master didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He picked up a pear from the table, wiped it with his sleeve, and took a bite.
Mm, sweet enough.
When the little girl comes out later, give her something to play with.
Tang Wan had no idea what the old man was thinking. The things inside were not the same as last time.
There weren't many people there, and it looked like they had all been snatched by others. But since everyone was there, Tang Wan still squatted down and looked carefully.
The tables, chairs and benches were tattered. She picked up some high school textbooks, and then her eyes fell on a cigarette.
The cigarette holder looked a bit worn out, and even had some traces of embroidery falling off, but Tang Wan always felt that it was not simple.
She picked up the cigarette stick and examined it carefully, then peeled off the iron sheet. The next second she took a breath.
This is not an ordinary cigarette stick!
The mottled marks on it are just fake, the inside is made entirely of jasper, it seems to be a jade flute?
Unfortunately, she didn't quite understand this, so Tang Wan quickly threw it into the space using the cover of tables and chairs.
It would be difficult to explain if the master saw this. Apart from this, Tang Wan had not found anything else of high value for the time being.
She walked to the door carrying a pile of books, "Master, please calculate the price."
"Nothing gained today?"
The eldest master glanced at her and took out a gray object from under the table.
"Do you like this thing?"
