Chapter 37 Returning Gift to Aunt Juan



Although she didn't need these things, she accepted them because they were given to her by others out of kindness. But she couldn't just accept them for nothing. When she went out today, she thought of giving her some cakes as a return gift.

When I got to the kitchen, I saw Aunt Juan making dough to steam buns. When she came in, she smiled and said, "You're back. You went out to play again today."

"I went to the east and walked around. When I came back, I bought some cakes at the supply and marketing cooperative. I thought of bringing them to you to taste," Tong Yiya replied with a smile, and handed a bag of cakes in her hand to Aunt Juan.

"Oh, girl, if you have any good food, just keep it for yourself. I'm already this old, why would I still want to eat pastries? Be obedient and take it back and eat it slowly," Aunt Juan said without taking the snacks handed over.

Tong Yiya put the snack in her hand and said, "This isn't a very good thing. Just eat some. Even if you don't like it, you can take it back for the children. I've saved some for myself. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."

After saying that, she ran out of the kitchen, only to hear Aunt Juan say behind her: "Then I'll accept it this time, but don't give it to me next time."

After Tong Yiya returned to the room, she closed the door and sat down at the table under the window. She took out a book and started reading. Not long after she started reading, her aunts called her for dinner.

She also put down her book, went to get some food, and ate it. After that she took a nap.

In the next month, Tong Yiya went to all the black markets in the county and earned more than 1,200 yuan in a month, as well as some receipts, all of which were receipts for watches, bicycles, etc.

Her business with Brother Long has not been interrupted. They still trade once every two weeks. They moved the trading place to a shabby yard in the back alley. Now they don't need to meet for trading.

Usually when it was time for a transaction, Tong Yiya would find an opportunity to put the goods away during the day and take away the money and items from last time. They had a special dark room to store these things.

Now Tong Yiya has increased the amount of goods traded. She can now get three boxes of old items and 700 yuan in cash from one transaction.

It was time for a new transaction that day. She had lunch at the orphanage before going out for a walk. She first went to the scrap yard to find some things, and then arrived at the old courtyard in the back alley of West Street around three o'clock in the afternoon.

This yard was an abandoned yard in the past and no one had ever rented it. Later, Brother Long bought it and wanted to clean it up and rent it out to workers in the town so that he could earn some income.

Later he didn't have time to find someone to clean up, until Tong Yiya said that he wanted to change the place for the transaction, and then he thought of this place.

Later, he found his younger brother and dug a basement under the yard, which became their current trading place.

Tong Yiya climbed over the wall on one side, found the mechanism inside the house, opened the door of the basement and walked in, put the money and several boxes from last time into the space, and then took out the goods that had been prepared long ago and piled them against the wall.

She went out only after she had finished everything. After restoring the mechanism, she left the yard quickly. Later, she went to the state-owned restaurant to pack a portion of braised pork and returned to the orphanage.

At dinner time in the evening, she got her food and went back to her room. After Aunt Juan had prepared the food for the children, she called her to come to her room with her food.

Aunt Juan thought she wanted to see her for something, so she carried her lunch box into her room.

After she came in, Tong Yiya asked everyone to sit down, then took out the braised pork she had packed, opened it, and asked Aunt Juan to sit down and eat together.

"Girl, just eat this delicious food by yourself. I'm going back to the kitchen first." Then he turned and left

Tong Yiya quickly stood up and pulled the person back and said, "I called my aunt here because I wanted to eat with you. If you don't want to eat, I won't want it next time you bring me something."

"Oh, those things of mine can't compare with yours. You girl is just stupid. I just gave you some pickles or something. How can that make you treat me to meat?" Aunt Juan was held back and couldn't leave. She also heard what she said and didn't know whether to leave or not.

"It's hot now, the meat can't be kept for long. I don't eat meat every day, so you can just have a meal with me," Tong Yiya said, pretending to be a little aggrieved.

Aunt Juan thought that since her meat was eaten today, she could just go back and find something valuable to send over next time. So she didn't refuse and was pulled by Tong Yiya to sit down, and the two of them started eating.

Seeing that she rarely picked up meat even after agreeing to eat, Tong Yiya took another pair of clean chopsticks and put a few pieces of meat into her lunch box.

Aunt Juan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Enough, enough, just eat by yourself, you are still growing, you need to eat more to grow taller."

"This is enough for both of us. Don't be shy, or I'll pick more for you." Tong Yiya said with satisfaction after picking up the food.

Aunt Juan was no longer polite and the two finished their dinner soon. After washing the lunch boxes, Aunt Juan helped her bring the hot water back to her room, told her to go to bed early, and then went back to her room.

After Tong Yiya and others left, he began to pour water for washing. After pouring the water, he closed the door, sat down at the table and read a book for a while before turning off the light, getting on the kang and entering the space.

Another half month passed like this, and when the high school started, Tong Yiya registered early, paid the tuition, and then just had to wait two days to go to school.

After entering high school, Tong Yiya was still busy studying every day. Before the winter vacation, Tong Yiya received the news that Huang Lili had successfully skipped a grade to the second grade of junior high school.

She was very happy for her, and even picked out a nice gift from her own space and asked someone to come out and give it to her.

The two of them first played outside for a day, and then went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. Tong Yiya returned to the orphanage only after sending Huang Lili back.

Less than half a month later, the school started its winter vacation. Tong Yiya had already prepared the firewood and coal at home. After the vacation, she began to prepare for the winter.

She eats, drinks and studies in the room every day. She is unwilling to leave the room unless it is something important. Only when Aunt Juan is free, she will take her sewing basket to her room to chat with her.

This year, Tong Yiya did not prepare a new cotton-padded jacket for himself. When Aunt Juan saw that his cotton-padded jacket was still as fluffy as a new one, she asked her how she did it.

Tong Yiya had no choice but to tell her that the fabric she made was double-layered. She didn't tell her before because the dress required the fabric of two pieces of clothing, which was a bit wasteful for people of that era.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Aunt Juan was no longer so interested. After all, cloth is not easy to buy. If it is expensive, it is not easy to save the cloth coupons at home.

Some families have to save for a year to have enough clothes for each person in the family, so it is impossible to make two layers of one piece of clothing.
