Jiang Chunlin was very strong, and Shen Qinghe struggled but failed to break free.
She looked at Jiang Chunlin cautiously, only to see that his expression was calm and she couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.
She was really afraid that Jiang Chunlin would kick her to the ground like he had just kicked Jiang Xiaohui.
He just said that he is not a gentleman and will beat women when he is pushed to the limit.
"Jiang Chunlin, I didn't seduce Jiang Xiaohui. I just happened to meet him." Shen Qinghe said with a strong desire to survive, "You can't hit people randomly."
Jiang Chunlin glanced at Shen Qinghe and sneered, "If you dared to seduce Jiang Xiaohui, would you be able to get away with it now?" He was not blind.
Shen Qinghe trembled, and when she passed the supply and marketing cooperative, she couldn't move because her butt was sticking out.
"Buying things?" Jiang Chunlin turned around and asked.
Shen Qinghe nodded. She couldn't come to the county town for nothing. She had already thought about what to sell on the black market.
Jiang Chunlin let go of Shen Qinghe's wrist and said, "I'll wait for you at the door."
Shen Qinghe ran into the supply and marketing cooperative, wishing there was a back door.
Shen Qinghe went straight to the food area and bought a pound of peanuts, five pounds of fine white flour, a pound of white sugar, a pound each of Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, cumin powder, and coarse and fine chili powder, and three pounds of peanut oil.
Prices were cheap in that era, and she only spent twelve yuan and thirty cents on these things.
She put all these things in a snakeskin bag, which filled up half a bag.
When she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Jiang Chunlin standing there a little timidly. She wondered if he would beat her when he saw the things she bought.
Jiang Chunlin glanced at what Shen Qinghe was holding, then reached out and took it. "Let's go!"
"...Okay!" Shen Qinghe waited for a while, but Jiang Chunlin didn't ask her what she bought, nor did he open the snakeskin bag to check. She felt very nervous.
"Catch the thief, my money was stolen!"
At this moment, a high-pitched, panicked female voice sounded.
"Stand here and wait for me, don't run around." Jiang Chunlin put the snakeskin bag at Shen Qinghe's feet and disappeared.
Shen Qinghe raised her eyes and saw Jiang Chunlin chasing a man who was about twenty years old, and the woman who had just shouted "Catch the thief" was also running behind them.
The thief came towards Shen Qinghe. She pursed her lips and stretched out her foot.
With a bang, the thief fell to the ground. He turned his head and glared at Shen Qinghe fiercely, "Are you tired of living? You'll see what happens to me!"
The thief reacted very quickly. He climbed up nimbly while speaking. He had just taken two steps when his collar was grabbed by Jiang Chunlin who had caught up with him.
Jiang Chunlin was very skilled. Before Shen Qinghe could even see how he attacked, the thief was knocked to the ground by him. He stepped on the thief's back with his right foot, making him unable to move.
"Comrade, thank you!" The woman who lost the money ran over breathlessly. She was a pretty woman with a red face. She said to Jiang Chunlin with gratitude.
Jiang Chunlin shook his head, touched the thief's body, and took out a small wallet made of red wool from his pocket. He looked at the woman and asked, "Is this it?"
"Yes, this is mine." The woman took it with both hands and kept thanking him.
When Shen Qinghe saw the delicate and small wallet made of wool, her eyes lit up. She could do this!
"Comrade, let me treat you to a meal. Thank you for helping me get my wallet back!" The woman stared at Jiang Chunlin with her big watery eyes.
"No, I'm in a hurry." Jiang Chunlin picked up the snakeskin bag at Shen Qinghe's feet without looking at her, "Let's go."
"Comrade, if you don't want to eat, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you some food, otherwise I'll feel bad." The woman insisted on thanking Jiang Chunlin, and reached out to grab his sleeve and refused to let go.
Jiang Chunlin wanted to refuse and looked up at Shen Qinghe.
Although she didn't know what she had just bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, she could smell the spicy flavor in the snakeskin bag and guessed that it was food.
"Thank you for your help." Jiang Chunlin looked at the woman and said calmly.
The woman grinned with joy, turned around with a red face and ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Shen Qinghe glanced at the woman's braids flying with joy, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Chunlin. As long as he left Taoyuan Village and no one knew that he was the village bully, his market would still be very good.
After a while, the woman came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, holding two net bags filled with various snacks.
"Comrade, I don't know what you and your sister like to eat, so please accept these things!" The woman handed the net bag to Jiang Chunlin.
Jiang Chunlin frowned and was about to speak, but Shen Qinghe spoke before him, "Miss, you are really kind and beautiful. My brother and I both love these snacks."
Jiang Chunlin glanced at Shen Qinghe.
Shen Qinghe secretly winked at him and reached out to take the woman's net bag, "Thank you, little sister."
"You're welcome!" The woman looked at Jiang Chunlin shyly.
"Let's go." Jiang Chunlin picked up the snakeskin bag with one hand, grabbed Shen Qinghe's wrist with the other hand, and walked away.
Shen Qinghe turned around, smiled at the woman, and followed Jiang Chunlin.
"Oh no, I forgot to ask his name." The woman said in annoyance as she looked at Jiang Chunlin's back.
"Qiaolan, why are you standing here in a daze?" A middle-aged woman came over.
…
"Jiang Chunlin, I didn't mean it. Anyway, we won't see that woman again. If she reveals that we are not brother and sister, she might not give us these snacks."
Along the way, Jiang Chunlin didn't say a word and his expression was obscure and difficult to understand.
Shen Qinghe wondered if he was angry about what happened just now, so she explained.
Jiang Chunlin stopped and looked at Shen Qinghe with a gloomy face, "You can do anything just for a bite of food."
Thinking of her habit of stealing, he said fiercely, "If you dare to steal food from other people's homes, I will break your legs!"
Shen Qinghe, "..."
Damn Qi Qingmei!
When Shen Qinghe and Jiang Chunlin returned home, He Xiuyun and the others had already returned from work and were cooking in the kitchen.
Shen Qinghe took the things into the house and put them away. These things could only be made tomorrow morning and sold on the black market tomorrow afternoon.
Jiang Jianguo was sitting in the kitchen making a fire, while He Xiuyun was rolling two-in-one noodles to make cold noodles.
Seeing that there were only wild vegetables, Shen Qinghe asked, "Mom, do we have cucumbers at home?"
"Yes, there are some in the private plots." Jiang Jianguo spoke before He Xiuyun could speak.
He threw a few pieces of firewood into the kitchen, stood up and brushed off the dirt on his pants, "I'm going to pick some from my own plot now."
"Mom, let me mix the sauce." Shen Qinghe said to He Xiuyun.
He Xiuyun knew that Shen Qinghe was good at making tea and food, so she didn't refuse.
Shen Qinghe went into the house, grabbed a handful of peanuts, poured a little oil into the pot, threw the peanuts into the pot, fried them until cooked, took them out, let them cool, and then crushed them with a rolling pin.
Pour oil into the pot again, take out a small bowl, put coarse and fine chili powder in it, throw a few spicy peppercorns into the pan, and pour them on the chili powder when the oil is hot.
Peel some garlic, mash it and pour in boiled water, cut the cucumber that Jiang Jianguo picked into thin strips, and blanch the wild vegetables in boiling water.
After the noodles were cooked, He Xiuyun fanned and stirred the noodles with chopsticks in one hand and watched Shen Qinghe's wasteful behavior without getting angry.
If she continued to eat like this for every meal, all the food would be gone in less than half a year.
Jiang Jianguo is a man with a rough heart. He found Shen Qinghe's series of actions quite surprising. He never thought the food cooked by He Xiuyun was so bad before, as every family ate that way.
But after eating the food cooked by Shen Qinghe, it was like heaven and earth.
Shen Qinghe simply used a vegetable washing basin, poured all the noodles, side dishes, and the sauce she had prepared into the basin and stirred them.
Green wild vegetables and cucumber shreds, red chili oil, and fried peanuts, the aroma rushes straight into people's noses.
As soon as Shen Qinghe finished mixing the soup, Jiang Jianguo couldn't wait to get a bowl and couldn't stop eating after taking a bite.
He finished the whole bowl of noodles in two or three bites. After he got the second bowl, he didn't eat it as quickly as he did the first bowl. Instead, he took the bowl to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to show off.
