Xinyi Town is well connected, and the diversity of goods on the black market is no less than that in the county town.
Tian Yuzhu's main purpose of going to the city was to buy fabrics for making clothes, as well as needles and thread.
Rice and noodles are also essential staple foods. 50 kilograms of rice and flour, 10 handfuls of noodles. Among vegetables, potatoes are the most durable, so I bought about 10 kilograms of them, plus a few large pumpkins. After peeling and cooking, they are fragrant and sweet, which is most suitable for the appetite of the elderly and children.
Cabbage is naturally indispensable, so try to buy as much as possible. The thing that is most abundant at home is meat, so you only need to buy vegetables.
A peddler spotted Tian Yuzhu. It was rare to see a customer buying so many things at once, so he quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, do you want tofu? You don't need a tofu ticket."
"How much is it per piece?" It's rare to see people selling tofu, so I finally come across one. If the price is right, I will definitely buy some.
"Three cents." The price offered by the other party was not high.
"Give me four then."
"The girl is a straightforward person."
Two people were trading in a back alley, handing over the money and the goods.
Tian Yuzhu didn't know that when she went to buy tofu, Shi Zhentang came back from delivering something to the car. He looked around and didn't see his wife, which shocked him so much that his face changed.
After all, this is a black market, not an ordinary market street.
Just as I was about to look around for her, I saw my wife coming out of an alley with tofu in her hand.
He quickly stepped forward and took it: "Don't buy it, go back!"
"What's wrong with you?" Tian Yuzhu clearly felt that he was in a bad mood.
Shi Zhentang felt a lingering fear in his chest, but he said nothing. He took her hand and held it: "Next time you go to do a secret deal with someone, I have to accompany you. Otherwise, you can't leave the main street."
"Tsk, do you think I'm someone who can be bullied by an ordinary person?" Tian Yuzhu laughed, but at the same time, her heart was warm. The man was so worried about her, she couldn't be ungrateful.
So she held his big hand with her small hand and shook it: "Okay, I'll listen to you from now on."
Shi Zhentang was at a loss for words. "You don't know, there have been murders and robberies in the black market here before. People were targeted simply because they paid more for the things they bought. In any case, it's always better to be more cautious."
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "It's all about money." Then she changed the subject: "Hey Zhentang, do you want to go to Kunpeng Primary School?"
The last time they visited the primary school, they didn’t know what the relationship was between the school and the Shi family.
Now that I know that it was my great-grandfather who donated money to build this primary school, the feeling is definitely different.
Shi Zhentang was thinking this: "Wait a minute, I'll go buy you a bottle of soda first."
After getting the soda, the couple put the tofu in the car, and then they strolled hand in hand to Kunpeng Primary School.
As a result, when I turned the intersection, I saw a strange phenomenon on the street about ten meters away from Kunpeng Primary School.
I saw a stone platform about one meter high built by the roadside, with a statue of Bodhisattva on it. The surrounding areas of the stone platform were blackened by the smoke from incense.
There are countless incense sticks at the foot of the stone platform, some of which have been lit and some have been recently lit.
this……
The primary school is still the same primary school. You can see that the bungalow classrooms inside were crushed by the avalanche, but they were later repaired.
As for the school gate with the big words "Kunpeng Primary School" engraved on it, it was not damaged at all.
But why is there a statue of Bodhisattva on this street?
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang exchanged glances, and both thought of what Duan Xiaowei said.
It is said that ever since the avalanche incident, the people of Xinyi Town have been thanking the Bodhisattva for giving them guidance, and every household even burns incense and offers sacrifices during the New Year!
At this time, an old lady came and knelt in front of the statue, muttering prayers, asking the Bodhisattva to bless her little grandson so that he would not cry anymore at night and sleep well.
After the old man finished praying, he saw the young couple and warmly reminded them, "You are here to worship the Bodhisattva as well, right? Hurry up and pray. Listen to the spirits. There was an avalanche disaster in our town a few years ago. The Bodhisattva transformed into a mortal and came to the human world to tell everyone the news in advance. Otherwise, how tragic would have happened that day? No one can imagine."
Tian Yuzhu: “…”
It seems like this rumor will be spread through the ages!
But she also thought it was fun. Isn't this just worshipping herself? It's fun, so she decided to give it a try.
So I knelt down and prayed sincerely: "Bodhisattva, please bless my child to be born safely and have a smooth life in the future."
"Hey, young man, kneel down quickly. Look how well your wife said it. She is praying for the baby. You have to kneel down too!" When the old woman saw that the man did not kneel, she naturally gave old-fashioned instructions quickly.
Shi Zhentang: “…”
"Mother-in-law, he doesn't need to kneel." Tian Yuzhu quickly stood up and pulled his sleeve, pointing: "You can't kneel with everyone in military uniform."
Otherwise, wouldn’t this be a joke?
The old woman came to her senses and said, "Oh, so that's how it is."
After thanking the mother-in-law, the two walked towards the entrance of the primary school. The words "Kunpeng Primary School" were vigorous and powerful, like a swimming dragon.
Reading the words is like reading a person, and the majestic appearance of our great-grandfather seems to flash before my eyes.
Shi Zhentang took a deep breath and said, "Grandma has always missed her father. It would be nice to have a photo of him."
"Why don't we go into the school and ask someone? Great-grandfather donated the school, so there's no guarantee they'll have a photo of him."
"Let's wait a little longer. If I go to trace my roots now, I don't know if there will be any doubts during the political review process."
"Yeah, don't be in a hurry, take your time."
It is indeed not the right time now. After Shi Zhentang returns to the army, he will face promotion to deputy regimental level.
Since this great-grandfather was a warlord at the time, it is still unknown whether this would have any impact on Shi Zhentang's political review.
But in the future, these historical issues will no longer be pursued.
So it would be wise to wait a little.
…
Just when Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang were enjoying a rare day of leisure in Xinyi Town, the old Shi family in Quanshui Village was in chaos.
Shi Xiaoli was fine when the couple left in the morning, but she suddenly had morning sickness during lunch. After dry heaving a few times, Shi Xiaoli suddenly started to go crazy.
She was so strong that she pushed away Tian Ying and Su Zhen who tried to stop her, stumbled out of the house, and ran straight out of the gate of the old courtyard.
He moved so fast that he almost knocked down Cheng Cheng who had just walked to the gate of the yard.
Cheng Cheng was so frightened that he finally managed to stand still: "Aunt, aunt, don't run around."
Su Zhen ran to the gate of the courtyard, panting: "Chengcheng, hurry up, go to the field and call your father and your third uncle, and ask them to come back quickly."
Seeing Shi Xiaoli acting so crazy, she and Tian Ying definitely couldn't stop her alone.
Chengcheng was sensible and immediately started running with his short legs. Before running, he asked Doudou to go home and find his ancestor to stop him from running.
Here, Su Zhen and Tian Ying quickly chased in the direction Shi Xiaoli was running...
