Zhong Zheng looked at Lin Xuanjiao with a puzzled expression and waved her hand in front of her face. "What's wrong with you? Why haven't you answered me yet? Where has your mind gone?"
Lin Xuanjiao felt a little embarrassed after she came to her senses. She looked at Zhong Zheng and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, sister. I was thinking about other things and couldn't come back to my senses."
Zhong Zheng lowered her raised hand and said, "What's there to be sorry about? I just asked you which one you wanted. Here are all the cashmere yarns I've stockpiled."
Lin Xuanjiao looked at these bundles of cashmere yarn. The colors were all very single, either white or black, and there were no other colors. Lin Xuanjiao actually wanted to buy them all. After all, she had to take them back to kill time, so she bought some more and stockpiled them.
But the cashmere yarn was something Zhong Zheng had gotten with great difficulty, and it looked like it was evenly distributed from Zhong Zheng herself. Lin Xuanjiao didn't dare to ask for all of it.
Since I can't have them all, it's okay to have a bundle of one color!
Lin Xuanjiao thought of this and said, "Sister, can I buy two bundles?"
Zhong Zheng smiled brightly: "Of course, I'll get it for you right away."
Seeing that there was no reluctance on Zhong Zheng's face, Lin Xuanjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was most afraid of taking away what others liked. If she hadn't been so idle in the countryside that she was almost going moldy, Lin Xuanjiao would not have bought the cashmere yarn that Zhong Zheng had stockpiled.
"Sister, I'll give you whatever amount you want."
Zhong Zheng quickly shook her head when she heard Lin Xuanjiao's words: "No, no! I already said this is a gift for you, you can't take money."
Lin Xuanjiao's face darkened. "Sister, are you looking down on me? You actually don't want to take my money."
Lin Xuanjiao knew that Zhong Zheng didn't take her money because she was taking care of her, but Lin Xuanjiao didn't want it. People in this era would rather spend every penny carefully. This bundle of cashmere yarn looked so expensive, so it must be very expensive. Even if Zhong Zheng was a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative, she would feel bad if she spent money to buy these!
Seeing Lin Xuanjiao's expression, Zhong Zheng thought she was really angry, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to give it to you.
"Since you don't look down on me, just take my money. You know I'm not short of money. If you continue like this, I won't take it."
Seeing that she really couldn't give it away, Zhong Zheng decided to give up. She looked at Lin Xuanjiao with a helpless smile and said, "You really don't take advantage of anything. If it were someone else, they would have taken it away without hesitation."
Seeing that Zhong Zheng didn't insist on her idea, Lin Xuanjiao immediately stopped being sullen and said with a smile, "So I am the one and only one."
The playful words made Zhong Zheng laugh non-stop. After she finally recovered, she looked at Lin Xuanjiao with some regret: "Why didn't I get to know you earlier! It's really fun to get to know you."
"It's not too late now!"
"That's true, you must remember to come and play with me!"
"You work in this supply and marketing cooperative. I can run into you whenever I come to buy something. But you have too many customers and it's hard to have fun!"
Hearing this, Zhong Zheng sighed. This was the only supply and marketing cooperative in the town, and she was indeed very busy working here, especially in the morning. Zhong Zheng felt that her hands were almost overwhelmed, and this was when there were two salespeople. Before, Zhong Zheng was the only salesperson, and she didn't know how she had survived that period of time.
It was really strange that she had no recollection of what happened before. Zhong Zheng felt a little weird thinking about this.
But now is the critical period for breaking feudalism. If she speaks out her true feelings, her family will also fall.
"Then come to see me in the afternoon. There are fewer people in the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon, so we can talk and chat then."
Lin Xuanjiao felt that since Zhong Zheng had said so, if she didn't do as she wished, she would hurt her feelings.
Besides, Zhong Zheng's personality was quite pleasing to her eyes, and it was she who took the initiative to find Zhong Zheng between them.
"Sure! I'll come over this afternoon. Tell me how much a bundle of cashmere yarn costs. Such a big bundle must cost a lot of money!"
Zhong Zheng figured since she couldn't send them out anymore, she'd just do as Lin Xuanjiao said! Thinking this way, Zhong Zheng also quoted her original price: "88 cents a bundle, no ticket required."
When Lin Xuanjiao heard the number 88 cents, she thought it was quite auspicious. Isn't it a common lucky number?
Lin Xuanjiao took out two yuan from her small bag and gave it to Zhong Zheng, waiting for her to give the change. "Sister, such a large bundle of cashmere yarn is only 88 cents. Maybe you're giving me a discount?"
Zhong Zheng handed the change of 20 cents and 4 cents to Lin Xuanjiao. Upon hearing this, her face turned stern. "Look at what you're saying. You wouldn't even want me to give it to you. Why would I bother to report you for leave?"
Lin Xuanjiao quickly applauded Zhong Zheng: "Yes, yes, yes! Sister Zhong is very straightforward and would never lie."
Zhong Zheng's stern face finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face again. "I like what you said. I never lie."
Lin Xuanjiao bought a few more knitting needles, but without them she was helpless holding the cashmere yarn.
After buying everything she wanted, Lin Xuanjiao prepared to leave. After all, she still had to go back to deliver pig feed! This was her job and she had to complete it, even if it was just a few steps away.
Lin Xuanjiao felt a little embarrassed at the moment, because Zhong Zheng was now passionately talking about her relatives, and Lin Xuanjiao didn't want to disturb her passion at the moment.
But if she didn't interrupt him, it would be too late to go back. Lin Xuanjiao couldn't stand the thought of being delayed. She was a person who attached great importance to time. If the pig feed was not delivered to the pigpen at the usual time, Lin Xuanjiao would feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the time on her wrist watch, it was already eight o'clock. She usually arrived at the pigpen at half past nine. It took about an hour to ride a bicycle from here to the countryside. When she arrived at the Youth League Home, she still had to pack up the things she bought. She really didn't have time.
Even though Lin Xuanjiao didn't want to interrupt Zhong Zheng's passion, she had to interrupt: "Sister, I'm going back first. I still have work to do!"
Lin Xuanjiao couldn't just say that she had to go back to feed the pigs, so she could only say that she had other things to do when she got back.
Zhong Zheng then remembered that the beautifully dressed girl in front of her was not from the city, but an educated youth who had gone to the countryside and had to do farm work every day.
Thinking about doing farm work, Zhong Zheng looked at Lin Xuanjiao's thin arms and legs, and delicate skin and flesh, and she began to doubt whether this person could do the work.
Lin Xuanjiao could understand the meaning expressed on Zhong Zheng's face.
