The next day, Su Li got up early as usual and did some exercise in the yard. It was almost the end of October, and it was still quite cold in the countryside in late autumn.
Su Li washed the pot and boiled hot water, prepared toiletries, and took out four bowls of beef noodles from the space. She took a bowl of spicy rice noodles for herself. It was so comfortable to eat a bowl of hot rice noodles in cold weather.
As soon as the food was set, Hu Zi ran out of the house, "Mom, what are we going to eat? It smells so good!"
"Let's have beef noodles."
"Where did the meat come from? I didn't see any meat in the house." Hu Zi asked in confusion.
Su Li choked! She forgot to get some meat in front of the child. She cleared her throat and said, "This is the last bit of meat in the house. Do you want to eat it? If not, share the meat in your bowl with your brothers and sisters."
"Eat, eat, eat. Hey, I just asked, women are so fickle. "It's only been two days since she got better and she's become mean again. Humph!
Su Li put her hands on her hips and asked, "What did you say?"
"No, I just washed my face."
Su Li smiled, walked into the house and tied a bun on Baoya's hair after she washed up, and applied perfume to the children one by one. The children had a lot of oil in their mouths after breakfast and drank up all the noodle soup.
After dinner, she sent the children out to play and went out.
The destination was naturally the educated youth center, she wanted to appreciate the miserable state of the scumbag. Before she got close, she saw Aunt Li running to the educated youth center in a hurry.
Su Li pulled Aunt Li aside and asked knowingly, "Aunt Li, you look so anxious, where are you going?"
Seeing Su Li, Aunt Li looked excited, "Come on, educated youth! Ouch! Su Li, you don't know that educated youth Zhou Zhiwen went to the toilet this morning and got a big scare. Guess what happened?"
Aunt Li looked like she was asking me something.
Su Li certainly wouldn't let her wait and see, "What's the matter, Aunt Li, tell me quickly?"
"Ouch! I heard that Xu Yuan, the educated youth, fell into the toilet and was covered in shit. He was just fished out. That's not all. I heard that there was also Cui Lan, who was engaged to the village head. Both of them were in disarray! Isn't this adultery?"
"What! Cuilan is engaged and will be getting married in more than a month. How can she go to the toilet of the educated youth so early in the morning?"
Aunt Li also curled her lips, "So what if she's engaged? She has high standards and doesn't like us peasants. I heard that she's pregnant, and now she's still making a fuss about the educated youth!"
Widow Liu, who was passing by, also helped out, "College students, bah! What kind of person is that? City people are just bad. Come on, Aunt Li, let's take a look together!"
"I have to take a look at this kind of good thing!" Aunt Li slapped her thigh as if she had found the organization.
He also asked Su Li if she wanted one.
Su Li shook her head calmly. She just wanted to get some information. She didn't want to be interested in such an interesting matter.
Moreover, she watched Xu Yuan and Li Cuilan fall down with her own eyes.
She had already seen the most exciting scenes, and there was nothing to see now.
"If you're not busy, we will be busy! I'll tell you when I see it! You're busy." As she said that, Aunt Li pulled Widow Liu and ran over quickly.
Aunt Li and Widow Liu smelled a foul odor before they even entered the educated youth site, and it made them want to vomit when they got too close.
The two men covered their noses and peeked inside through the gaps between the people. They saw Li Cuilan and Xu Yuan, in disheveled clothes, being poured with water from buckets. The stench came from the feces poured on them.
The two men were covered in feces, including in their noses and mouths, and no one knew how much was stuffed in their stomachs. Li Cuilan squatted on the ground, shivering and crying, with a pool of feces under her body. Even her mother hid away from her.
The whole yard was filled with a stinking smell, it was so disgusting, and the people around were disgusted but also watched with great interest.
It was noisy over there, and Su Li had no mood to care about them. Tomorrow was the day to deliver the goods to Wang Hong. Apart from cooking for the children, she had basically been busy with manuscripts these days. There was no time for a long story, so Su Li selected two short stories of tens of thousands of words and prepared to submit them to Time Digest, which was one of the more authoritative story-telling magazines in the market.
In addition to delivering goods and submitting articles, Su Li also wanted to take a trip to Heilongjiang.
That day, Su Li prepared a pound of white flour, a bag of noodles, 10 eggs, and packed the children together and sent them to the Xie family's old house.
Mrs. Xie was the only one at home. Su Li explained that he was going to the county town. Mrs. Xie felt guilty towards Su Li for what happened last time. Besides, Su Li took so many things, so she promised to take good care of the children and make sure they had enough to eat.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, they met an oxcart heading to the county town. Su Li gave the oxcart two taels of silver and got a ride.
After arriving in the county town, Su Li did not rush to find Wang Hong. Instead, she walked around the county town to see if there was any house to rent. It didn't matter what kind, since she was not going to live there anyway.
There was a shortage of housing in the county town, so the only options were private houses. Su Li wandered around the county town for most of the day, his legs sore before he finally found a small yard.
There are only three rooms, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a small shed in the yard that serves as a kitchen. There is no toilet, so everyone uses the urinal. There is a public toilet in the alley.
The owner of the house is an old teacher. His son works in another city, and he wants to enjoy a good life with his son. He doesn't know if he can get used to it, so he rents it out for half a year since the house is empty anyway. He rents it to Su Li for 5 yuan.
After completing the formalities, the old teacher took her luggage and went to buy a ticket. The elderly man living alone didn't have much stuff, so Su Li didn't clean up. She took 100 kilograms of white flour, 200 kilograms of rice, 50 bags of noodles, 50 kilograms of white sugar and 50 kilograms of brown sugar from the space. The water chestnuts in the space also had a good harvest, and Su Li sorted them with her mind and moved them into the warehouse.
Thinking about it, I took another 50 kilograms of apples and 50 kilograms of oranges.
When Wang Hong came over with the man, she was dumbfounded. "Big sister, your stuff is too good! This rice, this apple, the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have such good stuff, and there's also this white flour."
Wang Hong's man, "I don't know where this girl found such a good thing."
Su Li looked at Wang Hong's suspicious expression and said unhappily, "Sister Wang, I took out so many things at once because I trusted you, and I took a huge risk. Since Big Brother thinks there is a problem, let's forget about this deal."
"Hey! Sister, don't be angry. He is just worried. Don't mind it. The current situation is tense. If you are not careful, you will end up in jail. Our family, young and old, depends on us for food. We also want more protection."
Su Li also knew that they had formal jobs and they were still doing this business, so their lives were really hard. "My man's friend has connections in the south. When the train passes through our county, he will bring some things. Don't worry, as long as you are careful, no one will know."
"I understand, I understand," he said, taking out 300 yuan. "This is the deposit, sister. You trust me, I dare not let you down. This is the payment for the goods I have ordered from several familiar companies. Sister, tell me the price. If it's not enough, I will pay you next time."
Su Li didn't expect the internet celebrity to give her money in advance. She was still thinking about collecting it next time. Her impression of Wang Hong improved a bit. Compared with her husband, she was much braver.
Besides, she was not afraid that Wang Hong would do something strange. Food was in short supply in the city and life was not as good as in the countryside. There was no way to grow food by herself. As long as she had channels to buy food, how could she destroy this life-saving road?
"Since you said so, Sister Wang, I'll give you two ounces per pound of flour, two ounces per pound of rice, seven ounces per pound of white sugar, eight ounces per pound of brown sugar, and one ounce per pound of apples and oranges. Sister Wang, you're from the supply and marketing cooperative, so you know how much I'm giving you at this price. And you don't need a ticket."
When Wang Hong heard this, it was clear that she was making money for free! Wang Hong's husband was also excited, and he spit on his petty thoughts just now.
"Sister, this is too cheap for you. I appreciate your kindness. From now on, you are my real sister. If you have anything to say to me, just tell me. If you can use your sister and your brother-in-law, just ask."
Wang Hong's man also echoed, "Hey, yes, you speak up."
Su Li smiled and asked, "Sister Wang, I have something to worry about right now. I have a custom-made large coal stove and 100 kilograms of coal. I'm worried about leaving them to others, so I thought of asking my brother-in-law to help me deliver them to my home." As she spoke, she put the 100 kilograms of coal and the large coal stove in the room next door while they were not paying attention.
Wang Hong's husband agreed readily.
Su Li received 300 yuan, of which 170 yuan was payment for the goods and 10.7 yuan was a deposit for the next batch of goods.
