After lunch, Su Xieqiu said to Grandpa Du: "Grandpa, I'm going to the city this afternoon and may be back a little late."
"Zhenyu's wife, are you going alone?"
Now there are corn fields more than one meter tall on both sides of the road, and Grandpa Du is a little worried.
"Grandpa, there will be an ox cart going into the city this afternoon. I will go with my aunt from the village." Su Xieqiu knew that he was worried about her, so she smiled and explained.
In the morning, she heard Aunt Qiuye say that the village ox cart would go to the city to pick up some things in the afternoon, and asked her if she wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Su Xieqiu was preparing to go to the city to buy some mousetraps.
I also had to take some things out of the space and send a letter. It was a good opportunity to get several things done in the afternoon.
When Grandpa Du heard that they were going with the villagers, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "Go ahead, be careful on the road, and don't get lost with the villagers."
He took out fifty cents from his pocket and gave it to her, "Use this to buy some candy."
Su Xieqiu was stunned when she saw that her grandfather actually gave her money to buy candy.
Looking at the wrinkled fifty cents, she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
In her two lifetimes, no elder had ever given her pocket money.
Although it was only fifty cents, it was enough for her to remember it for a long, long time.
Su Xieqiu took the fifty cents without any hesitation and said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Grandpa Du smiled and waved his hand, "Go quickly."
Su Xieqiu went to Aunt Qiuye's house first.
Although the original owner had been working in the Sanhua Brigade for several months.
But she didn't like interacting with the villagers, so she didn't know many people.
Aunt Qiuye had just finished her meal. Seeing her coming over, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhenyu, I have already greeted Yonggui and asked him to help reserve two seats. Let's go to the intersection and wait."
"Yes, auntie."
Aunt Qiuye held her little grandson in her arms, and Su Xieqiu helped her hold the basket, and the two of them walked slowly towards the village entrance.
As soon as they arrived at the place, a ox cart came from the brigade headquarters.
There were only two people in the car, one was the driver Yonggui, and the other was the accountant of the brigade.
Su Xieqiu was not familiar with them, so he just sat in the car and listened to Aunt Qiuye chatting with them.
"Accountant Sun, I heard that more educated youth will be coming here soon," asked Yonggui, who was driving the car.
"Yes, they will come next month. This time they are from Haicheng. I think our village will have to send three or four people." Accountant Sun sighed and said, "These city kids can't carry anything. What do you think they can do if they come here?"
Yonggui and Aunt Qiuye looked at Su Xieqiu behind them at the same time.
Accountant Sun then remembered that there was an educated youth sitting in the car, but the words had already been said and there was no way to take them back.
He said awkwardly: "Well... Su Zhiqing, I don't mean anything else, don't take it to heart."
Su Xieqiu smiled and shook his head. "Accountant Sun is telling the truth. Compared with the villagers, we are really far behind in farm work."
There is nothing to argue about this. Most villagers can earn ten work points a day, and even women can earn seven or eight work points.
On the other hand, these educated youth were lucky to get half of the villagers' share, and each of them had to take up a share of the per capita ration, so the people in the team would definitely have objections.
However, most of the educated youth who came to work in the countryside did not come willingly, and some even had resentment in their hearts, so they did not get along very well with the villagers.
Accountant Sun smiled and said, "Once you get used to it, it will be fine. Once you get used to it, it will be fine."
Aunt Qiuye smiled and changed the subject, "Mrs. Zhenyu, what are you going to buy in the city today?"
"Aunt, I'm going to mail a letter and buy some mousetraps at the same time." Su Xieqiu said.
"These mice are really annoying. They have eaten a lot of our potatoes. If I didn't have children at home, I would also like to put a few in the house."
This topic resonated with everyone, and several people started to criticize the hateful rats.
When they got to the city, Accountant Sun said to Aunt Qiuye and Su Xieqiu, "Let's go to the grain station to get some seeds. It will take about an hour. Let's meet here later."
"Okay, Accountant Sun, we'll wait for you here after we buy the things."
Aunt Qiuye first followed Su Xieqiu to the post office to mail a letter, and then the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
This was the second time Su Xieqiu entered the city after traveling through time.
The first time was when Han Zhenyu took her to the hospital for treatment.
I was in a hurry at the time and it was night, so I didn't have time to take a closer look.
Now Su Xieqiu looked at the old building and did not feel it was dilapidated. Instead, he felt it was very familiar.
She bought ten mousetraps, and Aunt Qiuye asked her in surprise, "Zhenyu, why did you buy so many?"
Su Xieqiu put the mousetrap in the basket and said with a smile, "Aunt, I thought I'd need it in the future, so let's buy them together."
Aunt Qiuye thought that there was no need to stock up so many mousetraps. She could just come and buy them whenever she needed them.
But seeing that she had already given the money, I didn't mention it again.
Aunt Qiuye bought a pound of salt, a bottle of soy sauce and a bottle of vinegar.
Looking at the snack crumbs on the counter, she hesitated for a while before she made up her mind to buy one for two cents.
Su Xieqiu originally wanted to buy some peach cakes for Han Zhenyu's grandfather.
Seeing that Aunt Qiuye only bought some snack scraps, she was afraid of hurting people's self-esteem, so she didn't buy anything.
I'm getting ready to go back and get some food from the space for Grandpa Du.
"Zhenyu's wife, do you want to buy some?" Aunt Qiuye whispered, "Although this snack is broken, it tastes the same as peach cakes, and it doesn't require a ticket."
The salesman scraped the dregs on the edge towards the middle, glanced at the two of them, and said nonchalantly, "It's just a coincidence that you came here. When the nearby factories get off work, I'm afraid they will all be scrambling to buy them."
