After returning home, Tang Shen carefully put Qin Zijin down.
I knew she was pretending, but I was still a little worried.
Qin Zijin only felt that the temperature dropped a lot in an instant.
"These twenty-five can be exchanged for a lot of food. Take it and find someone to exchange for some food." Qin Zijin opened his eyes and looked at Tang Shen.
Tang Shen was silent for a moment before nodding. He couldn't help but speak worriedly, "You've completely offended Second Aunt this time. I'm afraid she won't let it go. You should be more careful at home from now on. Always lock the door to prevent her from coming in and hurting you again."
Qin Zijin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Tang Shen was still worried about her safety.
After a long silence, she spoke, "Don't worry, I know my limits. If she dares to come to my house again, I will go and make trouble for her again. I won't tolerate her anymore."
Tang Shen was a little surprised.
After all, the Qin Zijin in my memory was weak most of the time and needed protection, but now he seems like a different person.
Qin Zijin's heart skipped a beat when he noticed Tang Shen's gaze.
The original owner had lived with Tang Shen for five years, so they naturally knew each other very well.
Her performance just now was a bit too much.
After coughing, Qin Zijin looked at Tang Shen seriously. "I almost died at her hands this time. At that time, I thought I would never wake up again. So, I will not tolerate it anymore."
"Acan, our ancestral home was robbed over the years, and we endured it. Now our lives are about to be lost. How can we continue to endure it?" Qin Zijin's face was full of sadness.
Tang Shen's heart felt like it was hit hard by something.
His eyes fell on the wound on Qin Zijin's forehead.
The wound was very hideous, and it had just been torn a little bit, with fresh blood flowing out. It was shocking to see.
He didn't dare to think about how he and his two children would survive if Qin Zijin really had an accident.
He took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm. "You're right. Although my parents taught me not to fight for everything, we still need to protect what belongs to us. I will never let you face danger alone again."
Qin Zijin stared blankly at Tang Shen in front of him.
It must be said that although Tang Shen looked haggard and thin at the moment, his facial features were very handsome and perfectly suited Qin Zijin's aesthetic taste.
Some unhealthy thoughts began to run through her mind, but she quickly pushed them aside.
I'm really hungry.
It’s better not to have any unrealistic thoughts at this time. Let’s go exchange food and have a full meal first.
"Then go and exchange some food, and I'll cook for you." Qin Zijin urged Tang Shen to go out and exchange food quickly.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the three people in the room all changed their expressions.
Qin Zijin looked at Tang Shen with some confusion, "Why don't you go?"
"You were just injured, so let me handle the cooking." Tang Can's expression was indescribable.
Qin Zijin was a little confused. This shouldn't be the case. In the original owner's memory, her cooking skills had always been good. Tang Shen and the two children also praised the food she cooked. Why did they all have this expression now?
"Go quickly! Don't you listen to what I say?" Qin Zijin's face instantly turned stern and he looked unhappy.
Tang Shen had no choice but to compromise.
Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Obviously, Qin Zijin’s cooking is not tasty at all.
But Tang Shen is famous for doting on his wife, so how could he say that she did a bad job?
Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan have been influenced by Tang Shen since childhood, and they are very caring towards Qin Zijin. Even if it is hard to swallow, they will think it is a delicacy.
Tang Shen had no choice but to go out to buy food.
There is a supply and marketing cooperative in the village, but you need food coupons to buy food at the cooperative.
However, some people in the village have surplus food at home. Since the end of that movement, the market economy has gradually recovered. Some people in the village grow more food than they can eat, so they sell it for some money.
Tang Can was naturally familiar with the village, but he did not look for anyone else, but went directly to find Zhao Mantang.
Zhao Mantang is the village chief and his family has many people. Nowadays, land is distributed based on the number of people, and each person can get one acre of land.
With more people and more land, more food can be grown.
Seeing Tang Shen coming, Zhao Mantang had already expected it.
Zhao Mantang's wife Chen Hongying also came out of the house, apparently preparing dinner.
The incident between Tang Shen and Cao Chunni caused a lot of uproar and spread throughout the village. Of course, Chen Hongying also knew about it.
"Exchange for food?" Chen Hongying asked, looking at Tang Shen's expression.
Tang Shen nodded, "Aunt, we have no food at home, so I came to exchange some with you."
"Okay, how much?" Chen Hongying has watched Tang Shen grow up since he was a child, and she is very sympathetic to his family affairs.
Seeing that he came to exchange food, they did not make things difficult for him.
Tang Shen took out the money, kept five dollars for emergencies, and used the rest to exchange for food.
Nowadays, rice costs only 1.4 cents per pound, flour is even cheaper, and sweet potatoes and the like are even less valuable.
Chen Hongying only collected ten yuan and gave Tang Shen twenty kilograms of rice, some flour and sweet potato noodles, and two eggs.
There are dozens of kilograms of things packed together.
"Come back to me for more after you finish eating." Chen Hongying handed the packed things to Tang Shen.
Tang Shen was grateful and after thanking him, he carried his things and went home.
Qin Zijin was also shocked when he saw how many things Tang Shen brought back.
But after seeing clearly what it was, I thought it was quite normal.
Twenty kilograms of rice only costs a little over two yuan, and the maximum price for private transactions is three yuan.
As for sweet potatoes, they were only two cents per pound, making them even cheaper. Villagers grew them for their own consumption and rarely sold them.
The same goes for other things.
Qin Zijin looked carefully and found that there were still a few pumpkins, probably weighing about ten pounds.
Tang Shen also asked for some salt and a small bottle of oil, probably only about two taels of oil, and a small bag of white sugar.
All these things added together are only worth ten dollars.
If you were in the future, if you wanted to buy so many things, you wouldn’t be able to do so without spending a few hundred dollars.
Various recipes have already appeared in Qin Zijin's mind.
"Take the things inside and put them away. I'll go cook."
Tang Shen's hand holding the thing couldn't help but stiffen. After hesitating for a long time, he finally obeyed obediently.
The grain was brought into the house. The rice jar was broken, so the rice could only be temporarily put in a bag. For fear that it would be eaten by rats, it was hung on the beam.
The same is true for other grains.
Qin Zijin looked at the wooden beam and felt that it might break at any time.
