Chapter 16 No Way, I Pamper Him
After the others left, Chen Xiang stared at Su Heng.
Su Heng got goosebumps from her gaze and asked, "What are you doing? Act normal."
Chen Xiang snorted heavily, but didn't think much about it: "Look at your beauty, and look at my third brother's wishful thinking. He's not afraid of having his legs broken."
Before Lu Mingchuan joined the army, he was also very famous among the younger generation in the brigade. The old ladies didn't dare to gossip about his family, because if they did, their children and grandchildren would be beaten if they went out.
Now that so much time has passed, some people have forgotten the beatings they received just because they see Brother Lu is lame.
Chen Xiang was fortunate enough to see him beat someone up once. She felt so sorry for those people and could never forget it.
Her third brother was simply obsessed with lust and became obedient after being beaten.
Su Heng was helpless, but Luo Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Su Heng is the most beautiful person I have ever met, and she is also interesting."
Chen Xiang: "Stop praising her! If we both praise her, she'll probably be overjoyed."
"It's okay, but I just prefer to hear the truth." Su Heng smiled modestly.
"Look, I'll tell you."
Luo Yan smiled and lowered her head when she heard this.
After a while, we turned a corner at a large reservoir and heard the noisy voices of people in front from afar.
The market has arrived.
Small stalls are set up on both sides of the road, mostly selling agricultural products and hand-woven farm tools.
Such as backpacks, sieves, dustpans, etc. When Su Heng walked over, she saw someone selling bamboo brooms. Her grandfather used to make these.
The further you go in, the more lively it becomes. Su Heng is thinking about her duckling. Chen Xiang and the others have been here many times.
Tell Su Heng not to rush to buy things and pull Su Heng to go to the other side.
"Come quickly, I'll take you to see the good stuff. If you go too late, it will be gone!"
Su Heng was dragged away in confusion. Passing by the stalls, she found that handicrafts, vegetables, fruits, and some livestock were all divided into several large areas.
It looks messy, but it's actually quite orderly.
After walking a little further in, I saw the commune's platform. A salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative was standing there, and there was already a long line in front of him.
Chen Xiang and Luo Yan quickly pulled Su Heng over to line up. Su Heng couldn't see what was being sold from a distance.
But soon, she saw a salesperson bringing out a large box of fragrant marijuana flowers.
It was the old-fashioned hemp twist, and Su Heng felt it looked a bit like Tianjin hemp twist.
The fried crispy twisted dough sticks were sprinkled with white sesame seeds. Su Heng saw the person who bought it walking over, and there were also twisted dough sticks coated with sugar in the basket.
Chen Xiang couldn't help but say, "We came early today. I hope there will be some left when it's our turn."
Luo Yan couldn't help but say, "I hope the ladies in front can buy less. I've been begging for months, and my mother finally relented and gave me a few cents to buy it today."
These days there is not enough food to eat, let alone spending money on snacks, so the little girls all look forward to buying some snacks when they go to the market.
Fortunately, I was lucky today, and when it was Su Heng and his friends' turn, a new game was served.
Ordinary hemp twist costs 28 cents per pound, plus food coupons. The ones coated with sugar cost 31 cents per pound, the same amount of food coupons.
This price is more expensive than rice and is an absolute luxury.
Chen Xiang and Luo Yan each weighed a pound of ordinary hemp twists, and the members of the cooperative cut them neatly with a knife and packed them for them.
When it was Su Heng's turn, the young member who was cutting the fried dough twist blushed and asked softly, "Which kind do you want? We have two kinds: with sugar and without sugar."
Chen Xiang and Luo Yan, holding twisted dough sticks, stood aside expressionlessly, watching the completely different expressions of the members.
Isn't this the guy who just had a long face and asked them impatiently how much they wanted?
Su Heng was only focused on the fried dough twist in front of her. She and Lu Mingchuan were eating it together, so they had to buy more.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Give me five pounds of each."
When weighing the fried dough twist, five pounds is actually not that much.
It's so hard to get to the market, so I bought more. This thing can be stored for a long time.
The member was a little surprised and took the whole thing without cutting it. He weighed it and asked with a smile, "It seems you have a lot of children at home?"
Su Heng then looked at him, shook her head and said deliberately: "I don't have any children, I'll buy it back and eat it with my husband."
The member's smile froze on her face, and the knife she had used to cut the dough twist became dull. She mumbled, "You're married, so your husband must be quite greedy."
"I can't help it. I spoil him."
The young member was withdrawn and didn't say anything. With a red face, he carefully packed two bags of fried dough twist and handed them to her.
"Thanks."
Su Heng took it and left, leaving the members in a state of dismay, and then he put on a stern face to the people behind him.
Chen Xiang looked relieved and pulled the two of them aside to complain.
"Didn't you see the expression on his face just now? You got married!"
Luo Yan was amused, and Su Heng held her forehead with her hand: "Quickly put away that smug look of yours."
"I won't. He just gave me a scowl!"
"Puchi." Luo Yan chuckled.
…
There were people selling malt sugar and sesame cakes nearby, and Chen Xiang and Luo Yan couldn't help but buy some malt sugar.
Seeing that there was a table for drinking soup at the pancake stall, Su Heng pulled the two of them to sit down together.
Luo Yan didn't bring much money, so she felt a little embarrassed. However, Su Heng was already hungry. She saw Luo Yan's embarrassment and said, "Let's eat together. It's my treat!"
Chen Xiang looked at Su Heng's generosity and said without hesitation: "Okay, since you had a great harvest yesterday, I won't be polite!"
"You're welcome. I'll fill you up."
The three of them ordered a piece of pancake and a bowl of soup, which were very generous.
A bowl of soup with oil floating on it cost five cents, and the pancake with radish filling cost only eight cents. Several people ate it with great satisfaction.
After dinner, they hurried to buy the goods their families had asked them to buy, mostly vegetable seeds.
Su Heng thought that it was time to plant some vegetables in the backyard again, so she bought some as well. Peppers, cowpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes were definitely indispensable, as well as some other miscellaneous items.
Su Heng bought some cantaloupes and apricots from a vendor passing by.
She took out a few and handed them to Chen Xiang and Luo Yan. They didn't mind, wiped them with their sleeves, and took a bite, making emojis with the sour taste.
Su Heng, who hadn't taken a bite yet, stopped immediately. He thought, "I forgot to taste it before buying it. This time I've made a mistake."
Fortunately, it is not expensive, only two cents per pound.
After buying the vegetable seeds, Su Heng went to pick out the ducklings. The backpack was too small to hold the ducklings, so she simply packed up the cages and bought ten.
The stall was set up by an old woman. There was a pair of goslings behind her. Su Heng also put them in a cage and took them away.
The backpack was full, and Su Heng immediately felt the pressure of carrying another one in her hand.
Later they bought some more things, and Chen Xiang and the other one were quite loyal.
They all asked their families for money, and bought few things, so there was still some space in their backpacks. So they asked Su Heng to move some over to help them carry the things.
When Su Heng carried it on his back again, he felt it was much lighter.
She immediately said, "I declare that from now on you are my best sisters. I will treat you to mutton soup next time."
Chen Xiang was not polite either: "Next time I want to drink the one with floating pork slices!"
"Okay, let's have a big bowl."
"Sister Su Heng is very generous." Luo Yan also said with a smile.
"That's it."
…
The few of them returned around noon, and Lu Mingchuan's worries were obviously unnecessary.
Because the market closes at noon at the latest, it is impossible to go in the afternoon.
Chen Xiang and the other person enthusiastically delivered the things to the doorstep.
Lu Mingchuan was a little surprised when he came to open the door, and then he took the cage from Su Heng and let them in.
Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed by Lu Mingchuan, and Luo Yan was also timid, so the two of them waved their hands and said they had to go back to eat, put the food in the yard and ran away.
Su Heng laughed: "Lu Mingchuan, they were scared away by you."
