Xu Qi looked at the inhumane little face in front of him and comforted helplessly: "It's okay, I'm just very familiar with the voice."
"So it's the sound that's giving it away. I'll have to keep my voice down then."
"Are you still thinking about that time? Why did you come to the commune today and even went to the black market? If something happens, do you think your second sister will beat you up?"
When Song Tanglan heard her second sister, she immediately begged for mercy: "Brother Xu, please don't tell my second sister, she is pregnant and can't worry about these things."
"You even know your second sister is pregnant! What would you let her do if something happened to you? She'd just run around everywhere if her feet just happened to be fine."
Xu Qi looked at the little girl's aggrieved look with some helplessness. If others didn't understand, they would think that he had bullied her.
"I just came here to look around and see if there's anything I like that I can buy." Song Tanglan felt a little guilty as he kept staring at her, and muttered to herself.
"Are you done shopping now?"
"I'm done shopping." Song Tanglan was complaining in his heart at this time.
Could she say she hadn't finished shopping? Did she dare? He didn't dare.
Who made this person have such a good relationship with my second brother-in-law? If he complains, my second sister will definitely deal with her.
"Then I'll take you out. Don't come here secretly next time. If you need anything, come to Brother Xu and he will buy it for you."
"Okay." Song Tanglan had no choice but to give up and follow Xu Qi. After leaving the black market, she prepared to pick up the handkerchief and kettle to pour water and wash her face.
"Okay, wash your face quickly and go back to meet your second brother-in-law. Don't come to this place next time. It's different from City A. It's more chaotic and dangerous here."
When Song Tanglan heard him mention his hometown, her eyes lit up and she asked curiously, "Brother Xu, have you been to City A?"
"Yeah, I've been there a few times before." Xu Qi thought of what he had seen, his eyes a little lonely.
"If you like jewelry, you can find Brother Xu. Brother Xu will buy it for you. Don't come to these places alone anymore. Remember the lesson from last time."
"I know, I know." Song Tanglan was really frustrated by his repeated emphasis and couldn't help but complain quietly. "You're so long-winded."
Xu Qi had very good hearing, so of course he heard the little girl's muttering, but he didn't say anything more. He sent her to a safe intersection and then walked back.
Song Tanglan made a face at his back. Ever since he caught her, he has been talking about her. If he was not about the same age as her, she would have thought he was some old lady.
There was no way. Now he couldn't go back to the black market, so Song Tanglan could only go back to the public toilet, change his clothes, put the things he bought back into the backpack, and then carry the things back to the gathering point.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Cheng Fangyuan waiting there. In addition, there were several packages of strange things on the tractor. She took a curious look and then walked to her second brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, have you had lunch?"
"I ate it, have you eaten it?"
"After eating, I'll go over there and wait with the aunts."
"Go ahead."
Song Tanglan walked under the tree and quickly joined the group of aunts, listening to them talk about what good things they bought during this visit to the commune.
"Did you guys go to the food station today? They slaughtered two pigs today. When I went there, I bought a pound of meat!"
"I went there too. The two pigs were really fat, and I even managed to snatch two pounds of fat pork!"
"Unfortunately, I don't have that many meat coupons, so I can only buy one pound!"
"yes!"
An auntie heard that they had bought some meat and asked in confusion, "Didn't the Chinese New Year just end? Have you finished eating the meat you were given for the New Year?"
When Aunt Chen heard her words, she answered indifferently.
"What are you talking about? Those were all wild boar meat during the New Year. There's no fat to make oil from. Besides, meat can be kept for a long time in this weather. I don't know when the next tractor will come to the commune."
"Yeah, I have to make some good food when I go back to work. If I work so hard all of a sudden and don't eat something good, I'm going to ruin my body."
"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have any meat coupons, otherwise I would go buy a pound too."
Song Tanglan listened to what they said and couldn't help feeling happy when she thought about the meat she had bought.
The truth is that she had a lot of fatty pork in her hands. She didn't like eating fatty meat, but the lard mixed with rice was so fragrant, and the lard residue left over from refining the oil was also so fragrant. Who could resist the lard residue?
Two pounds of fat pork produces one pound of oil. If you eat it sparingly, there will be no problem eating it for a month or two. Thinking of this, I feel inexplicably happy.
"Little educated youth, have you gone to buy meat?" The aunts who were talking asked when they saw that Song Tanglan had been watching without saying anything.
"Aunt, I also bought a pound and took it back to make lard. The lard at home is all used up."
"Then you're pretty lucky. When I went there, the pork belly was almost sold out. If I hadn't squeezed in quickly, I might not have even gotten a piece of pork belly."
“Hehe, I also waited in line for a long time before I could buy it.”
Song Tanglan is not a fool, so of course he would not tell others how much meat he bought.
But all the aunts in the team bought it, so it would be a bit hard to believe if she said she didn’t.
The aunts' topic suddenly shifted to what new styles of fabrics the supply and marketing cooperative had put on the market. Seeing that several aunts were smiling when they mentioned this topic, it seemed that they must have grabbed some.
"A Cui, isn't your daughter old enough to get married? Are you planning on making her a new dress with the fabric you bought?"
The aunt named A Cui also smiled and replied, "Yes, there are a few suitable ones. I'm going to do a face-check recently. She's become quite pale this winter, so I plan to make her a new set of clothes so that I can find a good, strong young man."
