Tang Tiantian saw him walking awkwardly and immediately went forward to pull down the backpack, but the attempt was hopeless. The backpack was too heavy, so in the end she could only help drag it, hoping to help Song Jinxi lose some weight.
Fortunately, the person who rented the ox cart saw it and helped them move onto the cart.
"Hey, you two are still kids, don't carry such a heavy backpack, otherwise you won't grow tall. I'm from the Red Flag Brigade next to yours. Our brigade has two ox carts, one is left to pick up the villagers, and I can go back directly. So it's just convenient for me to take you. I have a good relationship with your Grandpa Niu, so just give me a dime as a token of my appreciation."
Song Jinxi rubbed his sore shoulders and said softly, "It seems that I am still too young. This thing is too heavy for us. May I know your name? Although we are from adjacent teams, this cow has also spent a lot of effort, and there is still a long distance between the two teams. Besides, we hope you can help us put these large and small packages in the yard. Isn't 1 cent a lie? We will pay 60 cents. This is really taking advantage of you."
"Okay, you two little brats. I'll take advantage of you. Hu Zi from my village earns 22 yuan a month, less than one yuan a day. I never thought I could earn a worker's daily salary in one day. Let's go, get in the car. We'll go back right away."
Seeing such an honest man, Song Jinxi actually wanted to buy one or two, two or three yuan. But her mind told her that she couldn't do that.
The two of them rode the ox cart towards the village. As expected, they arrived in an hour and 20 minutes. It seemed that it was just as Grandpa Niu said last time, we walked too slowly, otherwise we would have returned to the village long ago.
When approaching the village, the ox cart did not enter from the village entrance, but went to the side. There were fewer people on the side, especially today almost everyone had gone to the county town and had not returned yet, so we did not meet anyone along the way.
The old man helped move the things to the yard. Song Jinxi poured him a cup of sugar water, drank it and left.
The Red Flag Brigade is closer than our Red Star, so he still has to go back.
"Tiantian, you have to give me a hand. I need to put the pot on the stove first, and then I need the captain to help apply some mud and embed it firmly, otherwise the smoke will leak out easily."
"Okay, let's do it together. I also grabbed a medium-sized pot from the supply and marketing cooperative! Let's put it on the shelf together. We can keep one to boil water and one to cook. I also bought 100 kilograms of cornmeal, the kind that is finely ground, as well as 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour. There are also 5 large pieces of bacon. Hehehe, isn't it awesome? If you follow me, I guarantee you won't starve.
And I tell you, when we can cook by ourselves, we can also go to the state-owned restaurant to pack and then eat it. Anyway, I have enough money, and you don’t look short of money either. As for the pot, just put some water in it and boil it. At this time, we still have to pay attention. If there is no smoke in the house, it will attract attention. Although we are far from the village, we still have to be careful. "
"Then I'll have to rely on you from now on. Hahaha~ I'm not kidding you anymore. It seems like we're really suitable to be partners. I actually think so too. By the way, I won't take advantage of you. I also bought food. 100 kilograms of cornmeal, 50 kilograms of black rice flour. 100 kilograms of rice and white flour each. 20 kilograms of pork, 8 pig trotters, and a rack of spare ribs.
Oh, and I brought back a coal stove, too. We both have a lot of big stuff!"
Tang Tiantian was stunned. Wow, this Jin Xi is amazing!
