Wang Xu was eating noodles and listening to her whispering in his ear, showing off that she had more eggs than others. His mood also improved: "You have to compare yourself with others? Childish."
Gu Xi slurped the noodles slowly, and deliberately sucked one or two noodles loudly: "People say that if you slurp loudly while eating noodles, it means you respect the chef and that the noodles are delicious. I got it right, the noodles are delicious, with the right softness, hardness and saltiness. It's the fried egg, I like it when it's runny, please improve it next time."
Wang Xu ate very quickly, but his eating manners were not bad. He had already finished a bowl of noodles. "Oh, there won't be a next time. Finish the noodles and move out."
When Gu Xi heard the word "move away", she frowned and said, "No, I can't stand the word "move away" now. It gives me a headache, heartache, and stomachache. Oh, please let me stay. I can talk to you. You will be lonely if you are alone.
By the way, I want to go to town to buy something today. Does your tractor go to town? Or do you want to use a bullock cart? "
Wang Xu knew that she was reluctant to leave. He thought about it for a long time after returning to his room last night. He was indeed worried about her staying in other places. The little girl was very delicate and no one could stand it. He could only bear this loss by himself.
"The tractor has to go to town again today to pick up the village chief's son to collect payment for goods. You can go with us after you finish eating."
Gu Xi quickened her eating speed after hearing this: "I can't delay your business as soon as possible, I want to take Lin Ling with me."
Wang Xu saw that she was eating in a hurry: "Don't worry, eat slowly, I will leave in a while, I need to go to the accountant to get a certificate first.
After eating, you and the new educated youth went to the village committee and waited there. The tractor was parked there. "
Gu Xi nodded: "Okay, I'll clean up after I finish eating."
Wang Xu got up and went back to the house, changed his slippers into a pair of work shoes, and went out.
Probably because she saw Wang Xu go out, she knocked on the door gently. Gu Xi walked over and opened the door: "Good morning, auntie, what's up?"
Yao Cuilian looked around the yard and saw Gu Xi eating breakfast: "I just want to ask you, did Wang Xu make things difficult for you? Did you have breakfast? Do you want to go to your aunt's place for breakfast?"
Gu Xi saw that she was deliberately asking for information: "He asked me to move out, but he had something to do today and was in a hurry to go out, so he didn't have time to embarrass me.
I ate breakfast and managed to get some noodles from between his teeth. "
Yao Cuilian was a little anxious when she heard that they were going to chase her away: "Why are they going to chase you away? This guy has never gotten along with anyone since he was a child. He has always been a loner. There is really no hope for him. Don't worry, I will go find his father and let him talk to him."
After saying that, he went back in a hurry. Gu Xi quickly closed the door. She vaguely felt that Wang Xu didn't want to have any contact with the person next door, and didn't even want to mention it.
Being delayed for a while, Gu Xi quickly took the dishes and chopsticks to the water tank and washed them briefly. I took out a new piece of soap, found a small plate to put it in, and placed it next to the water tank to make it easier to wash hands.
He quickly went into the house to change his shoes, tied up his loose hair with a blue hairband, put on a small cross-body bag, put the tickets and money in it, took the letter he had written before going to bed last night, and went to find Lin Ling.
Lin Ling had already prepared and was waiting for Gu Xi in the yard. Before Gu Xi came in, Lin Ling ran out and they went straight to the village committee arm in arm.
Along the way, I was showing off that I had noodles and fried eggs for breakfast. And how he used his eloquence to defeat Wang Xu and stay.
When Lin Ling heard her make a reasonable argument for turning one piece into ten, she immediately gave her a thumbs up: "Gu Xi, you are truly a talent. No one can match your train of thought."
Gu Xi smiled but said nothing, thinking that these were the most basic contract contents in later generations, and of course, liquidated damages had to be paid if a contract was breached. However, the person who signed the contract was not Wang Xu, he was just being unreasonable.
The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the village committee. Wang Xu just happened to drive his tractor over. Yin Jie was with him today as well. After they said hello, Gu Xi and the other person got in the car and set off directly.
When they were about halfway through their journey, they saw Uncle Zhao driving a bullock cart in front of them. Yin Jie called out to him loudly, "Uncle Zhao, you left home late today. You're still halfway on the road at this hour."
Uncle Zhao glanced behind him in annoyance and said, "These kids have no sense of time. They told me they paid the money last night, so I can only wait for them today."
There were quite a few people sitting on the ox cart. Almost all of them were newly arrived educated youth, going to the town to buy daily necessities.
The tractor was driving so fast that it passed it in just two sentences.
Li Tong looked at Gu Xi and Lin Ling's backs, feeling somewhat dissatisfied: "Why can they ride on a tractor? We can only ride on a bullock cart?"
Liu Xiuni felt uncomfortable seeing Gu Xi feeling comfortable: "You look like a vixen who is used to seducing men."
Li Tong understood immediately: "No wonder, they have tractors to ride on."
Ye Xinchen couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "Don't talk nonsense. How come you have developed such bad habits after only being here for one day, gossiping about others behind their backs?"
Li Tong felt embarrassed by what he said. He glanced at Liu Xiuni and felt that she was indeed looked down upon and it lowered his own quality. He instantly regretted talking to her just now.
Liu Xiuni glanced at Ye Xinchen, snorted with disdain, turned around and said no more.
Others were unfamiliar with the story and did not participate in the evaluation, which is a normal reaction.
No one got carsick on the road today, and there were no quarrels or fights. The tractor arrived in town in 40 minutes. After dropping Gu Xi and Lin Ling off at the supply and marketing cooperative, Yin Jie said enthusiastically, "Let's meet at the state-owned restaurant at 11:30 noon, have lunch, and go back together in the afternoon."
Gu Xi thought it was past 9 o'clock and there should be plenty of time, so she agreed.
Gu Xi and Lin Ling went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, but the supply and marketing cooperative here was much smaller than that in Shanghai, and there were fewer things.
I bought two basins for a total of 2.8 yuan, and used the sugar coupons to buy 1 pound of white sugar and 1 pound of rock sugar, 70 cents per pound, so two pounds cost 1.4 yuan.
I also used the oil coupons to buy a barrel of peanut oil, which was about 4 jin and cost 0.9 yuan per jin, a total of 3.6 yuan. There is also a little kerosene worth 30 cents, which can be used to light a lamp at night.
He also used the food coupons to buy two bags of 10-jin flour for 3.6 yuan, and 10 jin of rice for 1.7 yuan. Gu Xi really couldn't get used to eating coarse grains and only wanted to eat white rice, but the rice was limited and he could only buy 10 jin every month.
I bought another bottle of toilet water for 5 cents, but there are still mosquitoes in the yard in the summer. Two thermos bottles cost 3.2 yuan. Wang Xu doesn’t have any of them at home. They can be used for bathing and are also needed for drinking hot water in winter. I bought another bag of laundry detergent for 30 cents so I can do the laundry when I get home in the evening.
I asked again and used the cotton coupons to buy a ready-made mattress to put on the kang, otherwise it would be too hard and painful. It cost 4 yuan.
Seeing that Gu Xi bought so many things, Lin Ling ordered the same thing.
The supply and marketing cooperative had two important customers today. We warmly entertained them and helped pack their things neatly for easy pickup.
Gu Xi asked them to issue a receipt and temporarily leave it at the supply and marketing cooperative so they could pick it up when they left.
