Gu Xi looked at Li Tong, then at Lin Ling, and then at Ye Xinchen. There was an extra piece of braised pork in the bowl.
Gu Xi frowned and looked at Wang Xu, her voice a little coquettish: "I don't like eating fatty meat."
Yin Jie picked up the fat meat with a chopstick like lightning: "How could you not eat such delicious food like fat meat? Give it to me. No wonder you only ate the spareribs and didn't even touch the braised pork."
There was no other way. She couldn't eat the lean meat and throw away the fat in public, or she would be drowned by the saliva. Actually, I really want to eat braised pork.
Seeing Gu Xi's regretful expression, Wang Xu said, "Use your chopsticks to cut off the lean meat and give me the remaining fat."
Gu Xi's eyes lit up immediately: "Hey, isn't this a bit bad?"
Wang Xu still had no emotion on his face, but he deliberately agreed with her and said, "It's not good, so forget it."
Gu Xi immediately cut two pieces of lean meat with chopsticks and put the fat meat in his bowl: "You are too thin, eat more fat meat and talk less."
Xu Jiasheng couldn't help but laugh: "He hasn't said anything yet, and you're still asking him to talk less."
Gu Xi was not embarrassed at all: "Uncle Xu didn't tell you, he saw through it but didn't say it."
Another person walked in from the door, and Gu Xi quickly turned her face away, pretending she didn't see it. The person also saw Gu Xi and ignored her. He ordered braised pork, lion head, and two meat buns, and sat down at the empty table.
Lin Ling lowered her voice and said, "Hey, your enemy is here. Her name is Liu Xiuni, right? She came alone, and her boyfriend is probably still lying in the educated youth camp."
Gu Xi ate slowly. She had just finished eating. Fortunately, she had given half of her rice to Lin Ling at the beginning, otherwise she would have been stuffed to death. The noodles she had eaten in the morning had not been fully digested. She drank soda and took a rest: "Who is her enemy? Don't flatter her. She is just a stranger."
Yin Jie looked over and said, "Isn't this the one who knocked someone unconscious yesterday? She hasn't changed out of this dress since I saw you guys, and her hair is greasy. She sweated so much, didn't she take a shower? So disgusting."
Xu Jiasheng and Wang Xu immediately stopped eating. Yin Jie looked at them and said, "Are you full? I'll finish my meal then."
Xu Jiasheng was annoyed: "I was facing away from the door so I could turn a blind eye. How can I eat after hearing what you said?"
Yin Jie didn't care about that. He happily ate all the remaining dishes and sipped the soda with his belly bulging. "It's delicious. The food in the state-owned restaurant is a hundred times better than my grandma's. When my grandma cooks now, she either forgets to add salt or it's too salty."
Gu Xi thought of seeing his grandmother yesterday: "Your grandmother is old, her five senses will deteriorate, and her memory will get worse and worse. She may forget to add salt sometimes, or add it several times. You still have to pay more attention. It's best to go to the hospital for a physical check-up every year. If there are any problems, you can pay more attention."
Yin Jie nodded: "What you said makes sense, but it's not just my grandma. The elderly in the village don't like to go to the clinic. They think it's a waste of money."
Lin Ling agreed: "My grandfather's old comrades in the countryside were the same. They said that minor illnesses don't need to be treated, and major illnesses can't be cured. The elderly all have their own set of twisted logic."
Gu Xi saw that they had finished eating: "Let's go, I want to go to the post office to mail a letter."
Wei Qingzhe and the other two just finished their meal: "Gu Xi, let's go together. We'll also go to the post office to mail a letter."
It was just past lunchtime at the post office, and everyone processed the letters carefully. The town's post office didn't have a telephone, so they could only send telegrams. Several people each sent a few words back to report their safety. At that time, telegrams were charged by the word.
Back at the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Xi and Lin Ling used the receipts to take away the temporarily stored items. Everyone was dumbfounded. Wei Qingzhe said, "You two are going to empty the supply and marketing cooperative."
The lady at the supply and marketing cooperative immediately retorted, "We have enough goods in our supply and marketing cooperative. We can't sell them all. We have everything you want to buy."
Gu Xi deliberately teased her elder sister: "Do you have a bicycle?"
The eldest sister was immediately embarrassed: "No, no. I'll tell you when I have one."
Another older sister at the side hurriedly tried to sell them: "You are the new educated youth, right? You are from the southern city. Red sausage is the specialty. Do you want to buy some? There are also canned fruits, Changbai cakes, and glutinous rice noodles, which are all specialties of our northern region. You bought so many things, and I don't want your ticket."
When they heard that no tickets were required, several people came over. Gu Xi bought red sausage, canned fruit, Changbai cake, and glutinous rice noodles and spent a lot of money.
Lin Ling copied the homework as usual: "I'll buy it back and let Aunt Chen and Grandma Chen try it."
Wei Qingzhe didn't understand, but he bought some of them, including egg cakes and White Rabbit candies: "Bring some to the secretary's home."
When others heard that no tickets were required, they also bought a lot of things. The lady from the supply and marketing cooperative was grinning from ear to ear. This time they were really going to buy out everything.
Yin Jie and Xu Jiasheng were completely stunned. It was the first time they had seen the spending power of city girls. They trembled in fear: "My father wanted me to marry a city girl, but it seems that he doesn't have the ability to do so."
Seeing Gu Xi buying so many things, Wang Xu gained a new understanding of girls' desire to buy. He secretly thought about his own little treasury. It seemed that he still had some distance to go before he could get married, so he had to work harder.
After thinking about it, I bought two sausages and two egg cakes each.
There were so many things that they took up half of the tractor. Li Tong watched them get on the tractor, which still had room for two more people. "Can you take me and Brother Chen with you? The oxcart won't be back until 2 o'clock. We just need to buy some more meat and we can go."
Xu Jiasheng now knew that she lived in his house, and nodded: "Sure, we are not in a hurry to go there, we don't start work until tomorrow."
So Wei Qingzhe, Li Tong and Ye Xinchen hurried to buy meat, some lean pork belly and pig's trotters, as the rest were sold out.
On the way back, I met Uncle Zhao who was going to pick up other people and said hello.
There were so many things that I had to send everyone home before returning the tractor. The things Wang Xu bought were delivered directly to Yin Jie and Wan Hexing's homes. Yin Jie scratched his head and said, "If Brother Xu had known that you bought them for me, I wouldn't have let you spend money."
Wang Xu put the food down and said, "I bought this for your grandma, not for you. You don't have to eat it if you feel embarrassed."
Wan Xi was alone at home. When he saw Wang Xu, he lowered his head and greeted him softly, "Brother Xu, come in and have a drink of water."
Wang Xu saw that she was alone at home and put the things at the door: "These are for you, I won't go in."
Wan Xi nodded: "Thank you, Brother Xu, I'm sorry to have cost you money again. Come in, it's okay, I'll pick some vegetables for you, I grow a lot of vegetables."
Wang Xu looked at Gu Xi at this time. Gu Xi blinked and asked with a question mark on her face: "What? Do you want me to help you take it in?"
Wang Xu: "Take it in, and see if there are any vegetables you want to eat. Pick some and take them back. It seems we are out of vegetables at home."
Gu Xi blinked again: "I can help, you can make dinner."
Wang Xu snorted: "No need for that, go back and cook for yourself."
Gu Xi quickly bent down and took everything on the ground into the yard and placed it on the table.
Wan Xi then noticed Gu Xi standing beside her and was a little happy: "Gu Zhiqing, I didn't see you just now. How can I ask you to help me get it when I can get it myself?"
Gu Xi walked briskly: "It's okay, I have plenty of strength. By the way, where are the vegetables?"
Wan Xi finally reacted and pointed to a piece of land by the wall: "Over there, Gu Zhiqing, how did you get here with Brother Xu?"
Gu Xi looked at the vegetable patch and said, "I want some spinach and lettuce, and some leeks too."
Wanxi hurried to pick spinach, lettuce and leeks as required.
