That’s great, I have another big and thick leg to rely on.
After a while, three more aunts came, as well as several educated youth who came with Su Ruoli and the others. The ox cart was full.
When they arrived at the county town, Zhang Sitong took Su Ruoli to find a state-owned restaurant and she wanted to treat Su Ruoli to dinner.
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Su Ruoli went to a state-owned restaurant with Zhang Sitong to eat braised pork and ordered a fish. They each had a bowl of rice. After eating, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When they saw the kitchen supplies, they really needed to buy everything, including pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt. When they came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they were covered with things again.
Unable to carry it, Su Ruoli turned around and went back to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two backpacks, put everything that could fit into the backpacks, one for each of them.
After carrying the things to the place where they got off the bus, Su Ruoli asked Zhang Sitong to wait. "Sitong, you stay here and look after the things. I'll go get the packages first. When I come back, I'll look after the things and you can go get them later. Otherwise, we won't be able to carry so many things at the same time."
Zhang Sitong was also worried when she saw the things. "Okay, Ruoli, you go get them first. It's still early. I'll go later."
Su Ruoli turned around and walked to the corner. Seeing that there was no one in front, behind, or around her, she quickly entered the space.
She didn't send anything at the post office, so she could only pack two extra-large packages from the space. Seeing that it was almost time, she left the space and walked towards Zhang Sitong carrying the two large packages.
"Sitong, go get it now, I'll watch over the things."
After Zhang Sitong came back after picking up the package, the old man driving the ox cart came back soon after.
"Uncle Liu, we have a lot of stuff here, can you pull it down?"
Grandpa Liu looked at the pile of packages and two backpacks on the ground and was shocked. "Oh, how did you two girls carry so many things? You must be exhausted."
Su Ruoli was also worried! With so many things, she didn't know if the old man would be able to carry them. "It's okay, but this ox cart might not be able to accommodate more people after it's loaded with things."
Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong discussed it quietly, and then said, "Here's how it is! Uncle, we'll give you three times the price. Can you send us back first, and then come back to pick up the others?"
Uncle Liu took out a very old pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time. It was only twelve o'clock, and it would take about the same time to go back and forth. Anyway, he said when he came that he would not be able to finish his work until after two o'clock.
It was also because these two girls were lucky that things went smoothly today, so they were able to come back so early. "Okay, let's go, I'll take you back first."
After that, the old man helped put the luggage in the car and said, "You two girls, come on board too. Let's go."
"Thank you, sir!"
The two men climbed onto the ox cart, holding the edge of the cart with one hand and holding the luggage with the other, and walked back staggeringly.
When the ox cart arrived at the village, it was noon and everyone was resting at home, so no one was seen on the road.
When they got home, each of them counted out 24 cents and handed them to Uncle Liu, but Uncle Liu only took 24 cents each and then drove away in his ox cart.
The two of them moved all the things back to the yard, packed up their own things, and then worked together to clean up the kitchen. They washed what needed to be washed and put what needed to be put in the cupboards. They could cook and eat in the afternoon.
After cleaning up, Zhang Sitong collapsed on the chair, "Oh my god, I'm so tired. Fortunately, I ate meat today, otherwise I wouldn't survive."
Su Ruoli looked at Zhang Sitong and pulled up a stool to sit down. "This is just the beginning. Once you start doing farm work, you'll understand that today's work is child's play."
"Ruoli, what made you want to go to the countryside?"
"I didn't originally have to go to the countryside. My dad, oh no! I've already cut off ties with him. He secretly signed me up. You know, once you sign up, you can't change it."
"What about you? Why do you want to go to the countryside? Your family conditions should be pretty good, right?"
"My parents both have jobs. My dad is the director of the Grain Bureau, and my mom works at a newspaper. My dad originally wanted me to work at the Grain Bureau as well.
But you know, when you're in a high position, there are a lot of people watching you. I couldn't make it difficult for him, so I secretly signed myself up."
No wonder this child eats and wears the best. It turns out he has connections in the court. "Are you the only child in your family?"
"I have an older sister and a younger brother. My older sister is already engaged, and my younger brother is still in the fourth grade. So I'm the only one who can come. We can't have no one from the family go to the countryside. That would just give people a handle on us."
"Ruoli, you said your dad secretly signed you up. Where's your mom? Why didn't she stop you?"
"My mother died when I was very young."
The two of them sat on the small stool and chatted about this and that, and almost got to know each other's family situation.
It feels like the relationship between the two has become closer.
————I am the cute dividing line————
As for Su Shiqiang and Wang Aifang, they were also sent to the northwest by a special car the day after Su Ruoli got on the train. It happened to be the place where Su Xiaoling went to the countryside.
Su Xiaoling didn't have a penny on her. From preparing things to going to the countryside, all the money was paid by Lin Jianzhu. When Zhang Wan found out that Lin Jianzhu had signed up to go to the countryside, she was so angry that she was hospitalized. You said you were going to the countryside, so you went to the countryside, and you chose such a place. Aren't you just waiting to eat dirt?
If they had told me earlier, they could have used their connections to find another place. But Zhang Wan only found out on the day she left. She couldn't go up in one breath and was directly hospitalized.
After all, she felt sorry for her son and had no time to prepare anything, so she could only give him more money, but most of it was spent by Su Xiaoling.
When they arrived at the countryside, Su Xiaoling and Lin Jianzhu went to work and saw Su Shiqiang and Wang Aifang?
But now she was at work, so she didn't dare to go looking for the two of them. It was not until the evening that Su Xiaoling secretly found Su Shiqiang and Wang Aifang.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here? What's going on?"
"Hey! It's a long story. Your mother and I will be reforming here from now on. Don't come to us if you have nothing to do, or you'll be discovered. It will be bad for you."
Several people hugged each other, not daring to cry loudly, and could only sob quietly.
Su Shiqiang thought of the money he had put in the quilt and asked, "Xiaoling, did you find the money in the quilt?"
"Where can I find the money? I even shook out my quilt but couldn't find any. When I came to the countryside, all the food, drinks, and daily necessities were bought by Brother Jianzhu. I don't have a penny of my own."
"Ah, I clearly put it in there, how come it's gone? Wang Aifang, did you take the money?"
Wang Aifang was really wronged. How could she possibly have taken the money? "I didn't take it. If I had taken it, how could I not give it to the child?"
"It must have been stolen by some little bitch. She is the only one in the house who has the key." Wang Aifang immediately thought of Su Ruoli.
bingo!!!
Su Ruoli: I took it, what can you do about it?
