The two of them slept on their own quilt all night. The next day, the weather was much clearer. In the morning, people from the Liu family came voluntarily and took Meng Yuanzheng to the clinic for treatment. Lin Miaoyin was also allowed to rest for a few days and stay at home to take care of Meng Yuanzheng.
Although there would be no work points if they did not work, the secretary asked the Liu family to do their work to show their sincerity in admitting their mistakes.
Even if the Liu family was unhappy, there was nothing they could do.
Lin Miaoyin was not going to go with them either. Judging from Meng Yuanzheng's appearance last night, there shouldn't be any problem, so she decided to do something big today and go to the black market to buy meat and some seasonings to cook the snake meat.
All the money in the house was taken out. The meat coupons were gone, but there were still a few pounds of grain coupons, which were donated by the Lin family. There was still a few dollars of money, which was the dowry when getting married. There were no coupons in those days, and the money was useless, so it was not spent by the original owners.
She braided her hair into two braids in front of the small mirror Meng Yuanzheng used to shave, put on a hairpin, put on a printed long-sleeved shirt, adjusted her collar, put on cloth shoes, carried a military green cloth shoulder bag, and went out neatly and cleanly.
The commune was not far from Niutou Bay, only a few miles away. She walked quickly and arrived there in less than an hour.
The commune was the predecessor of the later town. It was more "prosperous" than the countryside, with buildings and a station to the county town.
There were almost no street vendors these days, only supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants.
She looked around first and saw a long line at the supply and marketing cooperative. She squeezed in to take a look and saw that the good meat had been sold out, leaving only some pig offal and bones.
There are also chicken and other things, but you need a ticket to buy them.
She felt the banknotes in her pocket and looked at the sky. It was only around eight o'clock in the morning.
After walking around for a while, the sun gradually rose and she felt a little hot. There was still no sign of the black market.
Finding a shady step to sit down, she took off her straw hat and used it as a fan while looking at the people coming and going.
A few children caught her attention.
They were all around seven or eight years old, playing shuttlecock and jumping rubber rope at the entrance of an alley, and looked normal on the surface.
Lin Miaoyin also played with these when she was a child, and she missed them a little, so she couldn't help but look at them. As she looked at them, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She remembered that in this era, children aged seven or eight were already half adults. They were either at home collecting grass for pigs or firewood, or cooking, feeding chickens and ducks, and taking care of their younger siblings. Those with better conditions could go to school. Why would they be jumping rubber rope here in the morning?
Looking again, she noticed that the group of children were looking at her "inadvertently".
After all, they were just children, and no matter how hard they tried to cover up, some clues were revealed. Soon one of the children stopped playing and ran into the dilapidated earthen wall alley at the back. On both sides of the alley were a mixture of earthen wall houses and tiled houses, some of which had even been abandoned, especially the Taoist temple, which was destroyed during the "Destroy the Four Olds" campaign in the early days of the Cultural Revolution, leaving only some ruins.
She continued to watch, and after a while, some people came out from the depths of the alley, carrying backpacks, baskets, cloth bags and all kinds of things. No one was empty-handed, and they looked around with a nervous look before leaving.
Something is wrong. Is this the black market? She stood up, brushed the dust off her butt, and was about to go in and take a look, but suddenly stopped.
Why does this person who just came out look so familiar...
The others were all dressed in gray, and were short and pale due to malnutrition. Compared to them, this man was tall, with a clean white face, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes. He walked with ease, and his face showed "I'm rich, rip me off."
He was holding several packages in his hands, all tightly packed.
Lin Miaoyin caught him red-handed and thought angrily that this man had told her righteously last night not to go to the black market, and that he would expose her if he went, but he went to the black market the next day!
She understood that this man must have hidden some private money, or his family sent him tickets. On the one hand, he told her not to come to the black market, and on the other hand, he came secretly to buy delicious food.
Selfish man.
She quickly hid herself where Meng Yuanzheng couldn't see her and stuck half of her head out to observe.
Meng Yuanzheng didn't notice her and left with his things.
After he walked away, she came out carefully and observed that there was no one around. The group of children skipping rubber ropes were gone too. She walked into the alley, only to find an abandoned and dilapidated house. There was nothing there except a lot of footprints on the ground.
What's going on? Is this a ghost?
After looking around, she found that this should be the backyard of the destroyed Taoist temple. She indeed found a small door leading to other places. She thought these people must have thought she was someone "higher up", so they evacuated quickly.
What bad luck! I didn’t buy anything the whole morning.
She huffed and dragged her empty cloth bag back.
After walking for a while, I was lucky enough to meet a fellow villager from the same team driving the team's ox cart on the road.
Seeing that she is Captain Lin’s daughter, we must ask her to get in the car.
After thanking him, Lin Miaoyin climbed onto the cart, and the fellow villager shouted at the cows as they started to move forward with a clanging sound.
She leaned against the fence of the ox cart, covered her head with a straw hat, and turned her head to look at the rice fields on the side of the road. As far as she could see, except for the villagers wearing straw hats who occasionally stood up, it was all green, one after another. When the wind blew, the rice ears rustled.
She was born in the late 1980s in her previous life and was also a rural child. Although the countryside had undergone great changes since then, the scene before her was similar to her memory, which made her feel a little familiar.
After passing the flat rice field road, you will arrive at the slightly undulating corn field. Corn stalks taller than people stand on both sides of the road, giving the illusion that they are blocking out the sun.
Suddenly she saw two people walking side by side in front of her. The man was tall and the woman was pretty, a perfect match. The girl was wearing a white long skirt, sandals and white socks, revealing her slender calves, and she walked with an air of fairy-like grace.
Lin Miaoyin clutched the cloth bag tightly, thinking to herself, this bastard, he just came out of the black market and he ran to the woman to show his affection, is he planning to give all the things he bought to the girl?
I just promised yesterday not to have any contact with Zhu Wanqin, how come we are now shoulder to shoulder?
She was so angry that her chest ached. She sat on the ox cart, waiting for the cart to clang past two people on the roadside.
The two stopped and stood on the side of the road to avoid passing cars. Lin Miaoyin had already recognized that the woman was Zhu Wanqin.
This heroine is really something. Meng Yuanzheng is already a married man, so why is she still so close to him?
This bastard is still so evil that he would automatically get together with the heroine even after losing his memory.
She wasn't jealous, she just felt a little betrayed for some reason.
When the two saw Lin Miaoyin in the car, Zhu Wanqin widened his eyes slightly and called out, "Miaoyin?"
Bah, Miaoyin, don’t act like you’re so familiar with her. Lin Miaoyin complained in her heart and ignored her. She asked the driver to stop the car and said fiercely to Meng Yuanzheng, “Meng Yuanzheng! Get in the car! Come back with me!”
The author has something to say: She is not jealous, not jealous, not jealous, important things should be said three times
Someone forgot about something they had agreed on yesterday and I feel angry.
I feel the support of the little cuties, like this~
