Chapter 21 There is a plan



When they arrived at a place, they carried two full baskets to where there were many residents.

In three hours, she sold out her two baskets of fruit.

Now that she had money, Ying Han went to a grain and oil store feeling refreshed and bought more than ten kilograms of noodles, five kilograms of pork, and some red beans and mung beans. She bought them all.

After buying these, she bought some cotton. Cotton was really expensive. She bought seven kilograms of cotton and her coupons were almost used up.

In addition to these, Ying Han also bought a large bamboo basket.

It is too tiring to carry fruits in a basket, so it is better to carry them on your back to save energy.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, he bought ten large meat buns for 1.5 yuan. Yinghan ate two buns while walking, and then waited for them at the place where they got off the bus.

When no one was around, he ran to a remote place and hid the pork and noodles in the space.

After waiting at the intersection for about an hour, they came back one after another.

Although everyone was gathered together, the bus back to town had not arrived yet. While they were waiting for the bus, Ni Mei next to them asked Wang Shishan whether he would go home for the New Year this year.

When Wang Shishan said he was going back, several people asked him if he could bring back some things from the city.

There are regulations for educated youth to go home to visit their families. They can go back once every four or two years. The team does not have a group of people coming. Some people have already returned last year.

This year, Wang Shishan will go back, and Ying Han will also go back.

"The lotus roots you bought are all rotten. You won't get good stuff if you try to save money. Look, this is inedible." When the bus arrived, several people lined up to get on.

When Ying Han was queuing up, he heard a conversation between a couple who were already in the car. The man complained that the lotus root his wife bought was rotten, and threw it out of the window.

Ying Han clearly saw several small sprouts on the short lotus root.

The center was delighted and quickly said to the driver who was about to drive, "Comrade driver, please wait for me for a moment."

As he said that, he quickly got out of the car, picked up the rotten lotus root, and then got back into the car with a bright face.

Wang Shishan, Ni Meihe, Xiaohua and others in the car looked at Ying Han in a panic, thinking that something had fallen.

As a result, I saw her picking up a rotten lotus root that someone had just thrown away.

They suddenly felt embarrassed and turned their heads away, pretending not to know her.

The couple who still had lotus roots in the car also looked at Ying Han with disgust.

Ying Han carefully placed the rotten lotus root into the basket and sat down on an empty seat beside him. He didn't care about the looks of those people at all, and the smile on his face didn't fade away for a long time.

Humph, how would they know they got something good?

If she plants those tender shoots in her space, she will have lotus roots to eat in the future.

Although there was no water in the space, she felt that it was still possible to grow crops.

Ying Han arrived in the town, facing strange looks from everyone in the car.

After getting off the bus, several educated youth deliberately walked very fast, talking and laughing, but they did not say a word to Ying Han.

Ying Han didn't bother to pay attention to them since they were unwilling to go with her.

So she deliberately walked slowly, and only quickened her pace after those people got on the donkey cart heading to the village.

I had no intention of hailing a ride along the way, so I just walked and stopped with the basket in my hand.

When I was almost home, I met the uncle who sold fish last time.

Ying Han was delighted and trotted over quickly, "Uncle, are there any fish today?"

The uncle was stunned, but after seeing the red spots on Ying Han's face, he immediately smiled and said, "It's you, girl. You want fish?"

"Yeah, how much does uncle have today?" Ying Han nodded happily.

The uncle smiled and said, "Little comrade, I have more than a dozen fish here, enough for you."

"More than a dozen, uncle, more than a dozen. I want them all."

The uncle was shocked and asked, "Little comrade, can you finish all that?"

"I want to make it into dried fish and take it home for Chinese New Year to feed my family."

"Oh, that's it. Okay, these are a dozen or so, each weighing three or four pounds. Just give me five dollars. Sixteen in total, it's a good deal."

When Ying Han heard this, she realized it was cheaper than what she gave her last time, so she quickly smiled and nodded, "Thank you, uncle, but I don't know how to kill fish."

The uncle smiled and said, "We are skilled at this job. Why don't you stay at my house for a while and I'll kill it for you before you take it away. Our house is at the entrance of the village."

"Thank you, uncle."

Ying Han followed the fishmonger to the first house at the entrance of the village. Their family was in charge of the village's fish pond and usually supplied the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. Anyone in the nearby villages who needed fish for business would come to their village to order fish.

Ying Han also needs to hand over this money to the village.

The living conditions of this uncle's family should be pretty good. The yard is very big and there is a big chicken coop. However, as soon as Ying Han came in, he fell in love with the grape vine in their yard.

"Uncle, can you give me a prune from your grapevine?"

"Young comrade, you want to do some cuttings, right? Okay, just cut them casually." The uncle called out his wife and asked her to get a pair of scissors to cut two branches for Ying Han.

"Auntie, are you selling your chickens?" Ying Han asked the hostess of the house while pruning branches.

"Young comrade, buy some chickens. Sure. We have two old hens at home, so you can pick any one you want."

"Really? Can I have two?"

"Can."

The uncle didn't expect that selling a dozen fish would bring such a business to his family.

As a result, Ying Han bought three more chickens for ten yuan.

She also asked the uncle to shave her hair.

When leaving, Ying Han was carrying two large baskets full of things. The uncle wanted to see her off, but Ying Han refused.

She can't let the villagers see these things.
