112: A familiar gaze
Hesitated for a moment.
Finally, considering the practical value of the shoulder bag, I will use it to carry money and some other small items when I go to the black market to sell shrimp paste. I made up my mind and bought one!
I must make back the money I spent on the bag in the future!
In fact, all the things she bought were practical and she didn't spend a penny in vain - only this military satchel was a bit extravagant.
But it’s still very happy to be able to indulge in a little luxury occasionally!
An occasional indulgence makes life sweeter.
In addition to these, the sales outlet also sells agricultural products. Yu Xiaoye bought some onions, ginger, garlic and dried chilies.
In fact, she wanted to buy a lot of things, such as soap for washing clothes, a box of vanishing cream for her mother, and shampoo.
For example, those snacks, canned goods, and candies on the shelves, so many delicious things!
But considering my limited money, I only dare to buy the most practical ones.
After buying these, the salesperson fiddled with the abacus and started counting.
Every time he moved the abacus beads, it felt like cutting a piece of flesh from Yu Xiaoye's heart.
After finally calculating the total price, it was eight dollars and forty cents.
Eight dollars and forty!
Everything seemed not too expensive, but when I finally added up the total bill, I was shocked!
Yu Xiaoye reluctantly paid the money and left the sales outlet carrying the items weighing more than ten pounds.
Walking out of the door of the sales outlet, I looked down at the military backpack placed in the clay basin, and my heart was beating with joy.
Hehehe, how can I not be happy when I buy something that I like, need, and is a little expensive?
She went around to the back of the sales point, found a secluded corner, quietly returned to the space, and put all the things into the space.
But you can't put it all back, you have to leave some in the open.
First of all, the military backpack cannot be taken out, at least not for the time being.
Given how poor their family is, how could they possibly afford such "high-end" things?
I can only hide it first and use it later when I go to the black market to sell things.
Toilet paper definitely cannot be taken out. Given their current financial situation, they can only use stones or leaves, or even a corner of the wall. In short, they cannot afford something as high-end as toilet paper.
In the end, she was holding only a large clay basin, which contained jars of soy sauce, vinegar, and the lantern.
Given their family’s financial situation, they should be able to afford soy sauce and vinegar, right?
There is also a lantern, which will definitely be used in the future and is a must-have in almost every household, so there is no need to hide it.
All these things together weigh about five or six kilograms.
The main reason is that clay pots and jars are heavy.
She carried the heavy clay basin out of the space, returned to the door of the sales outlet, and waited for Jia Song to come back and pick her up.
While waiting for someone, I took the opportunity to take a look at the situation at the site and compare it with the original book.
The situation described in the original book is that the field office is roughly similar in size to a commune town, which is actually just a large rural village, not much different from the surrounding villages.
A straight road runs east to west.
There are two rows of brick and tile houses on both sides of the road. On the walls of the houses are painted a row of large characters:
Work hard, be brave to explore, take the overall situation into consideration, and make selfless contributions.
These sixteen words are the spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness.
Behind the brick and tile house are the canteen, yard, warehouse, pig farm, cattle farm, agricultural machinery station, veterinary station, mill, blacksmith shop, etc. There is also a primary school not far away.
Behind it are the housing for farmers and workers.
Most of these houses are adobe houses, similar to the houses in the company below, except that the houses here are more densely packed and compact than those in the company, and each family's yard is slightly smaller than that in the company.
Overall, it is indeed similar to the size of a township.
The situation is exactly the same as described in the original book, except that the description in the book gives people a gray feeling, but it actually looks full of vitality and has a kind of upward force.
Yu Xiaoye admired the scenery of the field office for a while and waited for a long time, but Jia Song never appeared.
She was a little anxious.
Where did Jia Song go?
It’s just to get labor protection clothes, is the procedure so complicated?
Yu Xiaoye couldn't stay there any longer, so he decided to take a walk around.
Anyway, it was a straight road and there weren't many people on the road. If Jia Song came out, he would be able to see her just by looking up.
She picked up the large clay basin and walked in front of the brick house. Suddenly, she heard familiar voices coming from an office.
I looked up at the sign hanging on the office door, which read "Director's Office".
Yu Xiaoye looked inside through the glass window on the door and saw Jia Song.
Jia Song was standing inside, arguing with someone with a red face and thick neck.
Huh?
What is Jia Song doing?
Shouldn’t you go to the warehouse to get your work clothes? Why are you arguing with someone in the office?
Looking at the person who was arguing with him, he found that the person arguing with him was actually a woman.
This woman is none other than Wu Yanping from their company!
She is the female comrade who gave up the performance during the last May Day performance.
There was a man standing behind Wu Yanping. Judging from his profile, he was also an educated youth from the Eighth Company. He was rubbing his hands together non-stop. Every cell in his body, even the clothes he was wearing, showed signs of being uneasy.
Yu Xiaoye had an impression of this person, although he was not familiar with him and had never spoken to him, but he recognized that this was the man holding the accordion in Jia Song's office at that time, whose name seemed to be Cui Yuejin.
Besides these three, there were other people sitting around the desk.
Yu Xiaoye didn't look carefully at who it was. She wanted to knock on the door, but the thing in her hands was so heavy that she couldn't free her hands.
He kicked the door with his foot, then pushed it open with his knee and went in.
As soon as she entered, everyone's eyes were on her.
Among the dozen or so simultaneous gazes, two of them were slightly
It felt familiar, giving her a strange feeling.
Yu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and followed the familiar gaze. Then, while following the clues, he suddenly found a familiar face.
Yu Xiaoye's pupils flickered, and he thought he had seen it wrong:
It turned out to be him—Zhou Ziheng, the director of Mishan Farm!
It's Director Zhou?!
Yu Xiaoye almost screamed, but another thought popped into her mind: she shouldn't reveal the fact that she knew Director Zhou in front of so many people.
The process of their acquaintance was somewhat shameful, so in public, it is better not to let people know that they knew each other before, as this will not be good for anyone. i.c0m
Although some people like to approach and get close to a leader they have met once, Yu Xiaoye still has some self-awareness. She doesn't think she is that important to her, so she actually greets the leader without considering her own limitations.
She wanted to know her leader, but her leader didn't want to know her.
What if it brings disgrace to the leader?
So Yu Xiaoye just pretended that he met Zhou Ziheng for the first time and pretended that he didn't recognize that this man was the head of the entire Mishan Farm.
