Zheng Wan, “!!!”
"Xiao Xiaocao deserves to be beaten for his behavior."
As she spoke, she said with some regret, "Why don't you fight?"
Jian Yuelan was too lazy to pay attention to her and buried her head in her work.
She split the silk threads into several pieces at an extremely fast speed. Zheng Wan was stunned. "Why do you split the threads so thinly? Won't it break?"
"Won't."
Those who break the thread are novices. This happened to her when she first learned embroidery, but it never happened again after she became proficient in splitting the thread.
Not wanting to continue this topic, she asked, "Who else did you find besides your sister-in-law Shi?"
"I'm not sure about that. I'll know when I get to work."
"When do you start work?"
"Sister Shi said we'll go to work once everyone is here."
Implication: The specific time is uncertain.
Jian Yuelan said "oh" and chatted with her. Then Zheng Wan couldn't sit still anymore and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Jian, do you want to go to the city?"
Jian Yuelan liked to hear this topic. She raised her eyes and looked over. "What are you going to do in the city?"
"I have to go to work now. I want to buy some cloth to make some new clothes."
If I remember correctly, this guy doesn't know how to make clothes.
Jian Yuelan remained calm and said, "Just buy ready-made clothes. It's too troublesome to bring them back and make them. You don't know how to do it."
Zheng Wan, "..."
That makes sense, right? "I don't have that many cloth coupons."
She smiled wryly and said, "Do you still have any cloth coupons? If so, could you lend them to me first? I'll return them to you when my husband issues the invoice next month."
"OK."
Jian Yuelan nodded, "Please sit down for a while, I'll get it for you."
Soon, she came out with the cloth coupons, "That's all I have. If it's not enough, you can borrow some from Sister Chen and the others."
Zheng Wan took it, flipped through it, counted the cloth coupons at home, and said with a smile, "That's enough."
Then, the two agreed on a time to go to the city and Zheng Wan said goodbye and left.
Jian Yuelan spent an afternoon splitting the necessary thread and went to the kitchen to cook.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Linxing came back covered in mud and sand again.
She was too lazy to ask, so after preparing his bathing supplies, she sat in the main room waiting for him to eat.
Then, she saw Zhou Qingqing and the Yu brothers passing by the door. She was holding a bucket in her hand, and Yu Guodong was carrying a backpack on his back.
As for Yu Qinghe, he was chewing a piece of dried fruit, making his little face dirty.
Seeing the dried fruits in his hand, Jian Yuelan became interested.
In the evening, she lay on Ye Linxing and talked to him, "Brother, can I buy some dried fruit from my fellow villagers?"
The man who was rubbing her back paused and said, "They're already in the supply and marketing cooperative. There's no need to look for fellow villagers."
"I want to buy more to send back home."
Jian Yuelan counted on her fingers, "I have to send it to my grandparents too. Then again, have you ever written a letter to them?"
How could a man not know what a little woman was thinking? He chuckled, "Don't worry, I've already sent telegrams to my parents and grandparents."
“When was it sent?”
"The day after you arrived."
Jian Yuelan said, "Can I buy it?"
"able."
He nodded, "But stay away from people."
Private transactions are not allowed now. Although the overall environment on the island is better than that inland, it is only better. It will be a problem if you are targeted by the Red Guards.
"clear."
She said, "I lent my cloth coupons to Zheng Wan, and we agreed to go to the city the day after tomorrow."
This made Ye Linxing perk up. He opened his eyes and looked at the little woman in his arms, "Go in the morning?"
"Um."
"Then you won't be back tonight?"
Jian Yuelan was too embarrassed to say it directly, and squirmed in his arms, "I just want to go to the Friendship Store to have a look. I still have two embroidery pieces at home that I haven't sold yet."
The man was immediately angered by her words and turned over to press on her, "I can't support you?"
"······No."
"oh."
The man said in a calm tone, "Then why are you still selling embroidery?"
He guessed that she was very angry. He wanted to hit her but couldn't bring himself to do it. If he didn't teach her a lesson, the little woman wouldn't take him seriously, so he simply bit her earlobe to grind his teeth.
"Friendship Store collects it."
Jian Yuelan trembled all over and struggled to leave, but the man refused and then caught fire.
Sensing his reaction, she instantly froze, not daring to move, her eyes evasive as she said, "I, I want to start a business after the reform and opening up."
And starting a business requires money.
The man's enthusiasm cooled. He let go of her earlobe and looked down at her condescendingly, "Do you think there will be reform and opening up?"
"Of course."
Jian Yuelan, who knew history, looked him in the eye and said confidently, "Brother, believe me. The country can't stay like this forever. Development and opening up are inevitable. It's just a matter of time."
Their eyes met, she was full of confidence, and he had deep eyes.
The atmosphere froze slightly. After a while, something in the man's eyes rippled slightly. His intellect was quite sharp.
"Be careful when you go to the city, and don't take Zheng Wan with you on any adventures."
Jian Yuelan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
She can wander around freely by herself, but it is impossible for her to do so with Zheng Wanlang.
"Bring plenty of money and remember to disguise your face. I'll bring the letter of introduction back tomorrow. Stay at the guesthouse tonight and don't go out after dark."
"Okay."
Ye Linxing was really worried about her going to the city, so he gave her a lot of reminders.
Jian Yuelan was annoyed by him so much that she responded with a "hmm" and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, and eventually she really fell asleep.
The next morning, she woke up on time according to her biological clock. Ye Linxing was nowhere to be seen. The breakfast he brought back from the cafeteria was placed on the table in the living room.
