Chapter 245 Lu Yanzhou's Wife is Here
On the weekend, Chen Tang left the child at his aunt's house and went to the city.
Next year's college entrance examination will only test four subjects in the liberal arts, so it is not difficult to buy books. After graduating from high school, many people sell their books to scrap metal recycling stations. Chen Tang bought books on politics, Chinese, mathematics, history, geography, and a set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry".
This is because An sells them by the pound, which is only two cents per pound. Shen Tang also asked for some newspapers with speeches by important leaders and policy formulation, which only added up to ten cents.
Seeing that she looked young, the boss asked in confusion: "These books are not valuable. They are given out in high schools. There is no use for you to buy them. You are not going to take the college entrance examination now."
Chen Tang explained: "I bought it back to show my nephew. My little nephew is going to high school. Boss, do you have stamps? I like to collect stamps, especially the bright red ones. They look festive."
The boss took out a handful of stamps at once. He didn't want too many stamps because they were all useless.
The boss is not stupid. He has been in this business for many years. Some people are just interested in old things, especially the rare ones.
But there was no way that such rare misprinted tickets could have fallen into his hands, as the big shots had already collected them.
Chen Tang originally wanted to pick up a bargain, but after seeing that these stamps were common, he lost interest.
She knew that the misprinted "The Mountains and Rivers Are All Red" and "The Monkey Stamps" were very valuable, but only a small number of them were circulated and they were recalled half a day after they were issued.
Her grandfather's family loves to collect these things. They have several "The Whole Country is Red" stamps, but the monkey stamps have not been issued yet.
Chen Tang bought a few nice ones she liked, but because she bought too few, the boss didn't want to charge her and just let her take them away.
The book was too heavy, so Shen Tang didn't buy anything else.
However, after promising He Zhi to buy some chocolate for him to taste, Chen Tang went to the Friendship Store. She didn't have many foreign exchange coupons, but her two grandfathers got them in Kyoto and sent them to her.
At that time, the sales clerks in the Friendship Store were extremely arrogant. They spoke Chinese and English, held their heads high, and almost looked down on people.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Tang was dressed respectably, no one would have paid any attention to her calls.
Chen Tang didn't say anything in English to slap his face. Salespeople in this era have the capital to be arrogant. Salespeople in department stores look at people with tinted glasses, and have two obvious attitudes towards city people and country people, not to mention salespeople who serve foreigners.
She bought a box of cocoa butter chocolate, which contained only three pieces, for six dollars.
Chen Tang was secretly shocked, it was so expensive, the Maotai on the shelf next to him was only ten yuan.
This thing is really rare.
After returning to the family compound, Xiao Hezhi ran back happily holding Hongmei's hand.
Hongmei is also of primary school age this year. The little girl is so pretty and sweet, with two flowers on her head. When she sees Chen Tang, she sweetly says to her: "Sister~"
Chen Tang was so sweet that the flowers in his heart bloomed.
He Zhi ran out of breath, puffed up his face secretly, and threw himself into Chen Tang's arms first: "Mom is back, Xiaobao missed you so much."
Hongmei rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch his face: "You only know how to compete for favor."
He Zhi snorted and looked into Shen Tang’s bag.
Chen Tang took out two of the three chocolates she had bought and gave one to each of them. She tasted the remaining piece.
It’s slightly sweet, but it’s okay, she doesn’t like it.
Leave it for He Xu to eat.
After Xiao Hezhi took a bite, his face changed slightly. He secretly glanced at Hongmei and found that she was squinting her eyes and enjoying it very much. He felt depressed at once, wondering why his aunt lied to him.
Not tasty at all.
I'd better leave it for dad to eat.
Xiao Hongmei took two bites while holding back her saliva, then put the food in her pocket.
She likes the taste, but she has to show off to the other kids tomorrow, especially Han Shu who can't stand her. She'll be so mad at her.
"Is it delicious?" Hongmei drooled as she looked at the chocolate in Xiao Hezhi's hand.
Xiao Hezhi frowned like an old man: "It's just so-so."
Hongmei retorted: "Impossible, chocolate is the best and most delicious thing in the world."
He Zhi ignored her, ran in, drank two gulps of water, and took out a candy from under the pillow and put it in his mouth to sweeten it. Only then did he feel better.
Shen Tang ignored the two of them. There was a knock on the door. She looked up and saw a young girl.
The other person had two braids, wore a flowered shirt and blue pants, looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and was very shy.
"Hello, I'm the niece of Commander Zhu. I just arrived at the family compound and saw that your door was open, so I came to visit."
In fact, she heard from her aunt that there was a very handsome man in the family compound, but unfortunately he was married. She was curious and came over to take a look.
Chen Tang smiled: "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
The girl walked in with small steps, her posture was graceful, it looked like she had practiced it specially, and she even covered her mouth gently when she laughed.
Chen Tang: "Then let me pour you a glass of water."
"No need, my name is Liu Jia, what's your name, comrade?"
"Chen Tang."
"Your yard is really nice, but you don't grow any crops." Liu Jia said with a smile, "Comrade Shen, don't blame me for being nosy. If you don't grow crops, you'd be a spendthrift. How can you go to the market to buy vegetables every day?"
The corner of Chen Tang's mouth twitched: "You know you're too talkative, what else do you say?"
Liu Jia's face froze. She was used to being arrogant. There were very few people in the village who had graduated from high school like her. Especially, she thought she was beautiful and sweet-talking. Even if she was a hermaphrodite, no one would really expose her to her face.
Still so frank.
Isn’t this woman afraid that her uncle will make things difficult for her?
"Comrade Shen, you are going too far. I am just reminding you." Liu Jia's eyes turned red and she grabbed the corner of her clothes with grievance, as if she didn't know why Shen Tang said that.
Chen Tang felt a chill: "Thank you so much for your kindness."
Liu Jia climbed up the pole: "Comrade Shen, you're welcome. I'm a warm-hearted person. I see you have a lot of time. Why don't I help you shovel the flowers next to you? I tell you, you must pull out all the messy grass and flowers when you plant the land. After planting, fertilize it in two days, and it will definitely grow well in two months..."
Shen Tang was shocked, this person just wouldn't listen to her!
"Where is your shovel? I'm a very helpful person. I'll help you."
Chen Tang rolled his eyes and said, "No, I dug these flowers from the mountain this morning, specially for the children to play with. If you are free, why don't you help me wash the remaining thunder mushrooms?"
Liu Jia looked at the thunder mushroom in the basin in the corner, his face stiffened: "Although I am enthusiastic, I am not careful, so let's forget about this."
Chen Tang sighed, put one hand on his waist, and wiped the sweat off his wrist: "I thought Comrade Liu was such a warm-hearted person, he would definitely help me, but I didn't expect he was just talking."
Liu Jia saw her delicate appearance, but Shen Tangsheng was so beautiful that he looked better than her.
She said angrily: “Comrade Shen, don’t learn from me, I was born like this.”
Chen Tang gently covered his mouth: "Really? I am the same, Comrade Liu, we are really alike, but Comrade Liu, you are too cruel, look at those flowers, how beautiful they are, how can you be so cruel to pull them out, even if they are plants, they are also living things.
Comrade Liu, you are too cruel. I cannot be your friend anymore. I will not be friends with a vicious woman like you."
Liu Jia: “…Are you crazy?”
What kind of life do plants have? If she pulls out the weeds, she is cruel, but how can she not be cruel when she eats wild vegetables?
Shen Tang half covered his mouth and pretended to be surprised: “Comrade Liu, you scolded me, you are so vicious.”
Liu Jia felt like she had goosebumps all over her body.
She felt she had met her match.
Is she usually so disgusting when she pretends?
"If you don't want to pull it out, forget it. I am meddling in your business."
Chen Tang put his hands on his hips and smiled, swaying gracefully: "Then take care."
Liu Jia: “…”
So angry.
