Yi Xiaoqiu knew a little about what the market was like. She found an old cotton coat to put on over her jacket, and put on her old cotton shoes. As for the leather shoes, Yi Xiaoqiu was reluctant to wear them.
Not only would she be heartbroken if it got stepped on and made dirty, but who would she cry to if it really got stepped on like that old educated youth?
A pair of shoes worth more than 30 yuan is equivalent to a month's salary for those workers!
Yi Xiaoqiu wore a floral scarf on her head and neck, and an old cotton-padded jacket. Her shirt and pants were baggy, and she looked extremely unfashionable.
Fortunately, the face is still visible.
But hidden in the scarf, one could only see a pair of watery eyes and a bit of fair and delicate skin.
Yi Xiaoqiu packed up early and waited for Shen Ruofei at the door.
After a while, there was still no movement in Shen Ruofei's room. Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't help but shout, "Are you okay? The sun is about to set! Are you still awake?"
"Right away!" Shen Ruofei shouted at the top of her voice when she heard the voice outside.
Shen Ruofei was afraid that Yi Xiaoqiu would get impatient waiting, so she hurriedly put on the leather shoes she had bought, put on a big scarf, and finally came out of the house.
When the two sides met, their eyes almost popped out of their heads when they saw each other's appearance.
"Xiao Qiu, don't you have cotton-padded clothes made? Why are you still wearing such tattered clothes? And why aren't you wearing your leather shoes?
Even if you want to dress up in a grayish outfit to set me off, there's no need for you to sacrifice yourself like this. You look too unfashionable!" Shen Ruofei said with disdain on her face.
Yi Xiaoqiu rolled her eyes. This girl perfectly demonstrated her fear for her sisters’ hard lives and her fear for them driving Land Rover!
Yi Xiaoqiu was speechless when he saw Shen Ruofei, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and shoes.
"Listen to my advice and change your clothes and shoes quickly. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Everyone is living a hard life these days, so there are naturally a lot of thieves at the end of the year. With people coming and going, those thieves love to take advantage of people like Shen Ruofei.
Even if she doesn't have any money on her, people have ways to steal what she has.
"No need, I don't have any money on me, so even if there is a thief, he can't steal it." Shen Ruofei didn't care.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know what to say, otherwise he would think that she was ashamed of herself.
The two pushed their bicycles to the front of the educated youth station. Lin Zhiqing and Qian Zhiqing were about to go out. Seeing the two of them pushing their bicycles, Lin Dongyan couldn't help but remind them.
"Are you also going to the market? You'd better take an oxcart. It's better not to ride a bicycle. There are too many people and it's difficult to push it."
"Okay, then let's take the ox cart." Yi Xiaoqiu was a little hesitant about whether to ride a bicycle, but Lin Dongyan's words reminded her.
Putting aside the question of whether or not you can push it, just pushing the bike all the time is a hassle. You said you could lock it up and put it aside, haha...
This thing is like a girlfriend, once you let go of it, it's gone.
There were so many people and no surveillance, there was no place to cry.
"Let's ride in the ox cart with Lin Zhiqing and the others!" Yi Xiaoqiu said to Shen Ruofei, and then pushed the cart to the backyard.
Shen Ruofei didn't insist this time. Losing other things was a small matter, but a bicycle was a big item, comparable to a Rolls-Royce in later generations. It was better to be cautious.
Shen Ruofei also hurriedly pushed the car into the house and locked it.
When the two came out, Lin Zhiqing and the other man were still waiting for them at the door.
The four of them went together to the threshing ground where they usually took the bus.
There was already a carriage waiting in the threshing ground, with two people sitting in it.
They were also acquaintances of these educated youth, Sun Guifen and Guifen's mother.
"Hey! We are late, everyone else is gone." Shen Ruofei suddenly said this.
She called Yi Xiaoqiu because she saw the educated youth in the front room making an appointment to go out, but she didn't expect that she still missed them.
In fact, the only people in the market were those educated youth in the front yard who were not bored to death.
Xie Xingyi and Lu Huaian were busy speculating, Su Mianmian and Song Ying would also go out early in the morning. Shen Ruofei was busy outside all day yesterday, so she just took a rest today.
The other people at the educated youth point all went to the market.
Sun Guifen rolled her eyes when she saw Yi Xiaoqiu and the others coming over. "Hey! People with bicycles are trying to squeeze into a carriage with us!"
Yi Xiaoqiu climbed onto his horse and sat down at the place farthest away from the two women, with no intention of paying any attention to them at all.
Shen Ruofei followed her example and rolled her eyes, "None of your business!"
Sun Guifen didn't expect Shen Ruofei to be so tough, and she hadn't even mentioned anyone by name!
Looking at Shen Ruofei's brand new cotton-padded jacket and leather shoes, Sun Guifen felt a little jealous. When would she be able to wear such nice clothes and shoes?
"I didn't say anything about you, why are you cursing?" Sun Guifen subconsciously glanced at Yi Xiaoqiu.
After seeing Yi Xiaoqiu's outfit, I finally felt a little better.
"Who did I scold?" Shen Ruofei was not someone to be fooled, and it was obvious that she was referring to the two of them.
"you!"
At this time, the carriage moved and those who didn't pay attention were shaken.
Guifen's mother twisted Sun Guifen's arm and said sarcastically, "What are you talking about, you damn girl? She's an educated youth, how can you mess with her? Hurry up and hold the thing in place! If it falls, you'll be in big trouble."
Her mother scolded her in front of so many people. Su Guifen blushed a little and didn't dare to argue with the educated youth anymore. She just held the two baskets obediently.
Here are the dried sweet potatoes that the family packed overnight, waiting for the market to start so that they can exchange them for money!
If she didn't hold herself properly and it leaked out, a beating would be the least of her worries.
The people in the carriage finally quieted down.
It was very cold and the wind was quite cold when it hit my face. I had to cover my face with the scarf on my head to make it less uncomfortable.
The Eighth Company is not far from the Seventh Company. The two teams are next to each other, separated by a forest. You can get there by crossing it.
Yi Xiaoqiu saw a huge crowd of people from afar. It was too one-sided to say that the place was crowded with people.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Guifen's mother jumped out hurriedly.
"Oh no! We're late!" Guifen's mother hurriedly took the basket off the car. "You silly girl, what are you still doing sitting there? Get down quickly!"
Sun Guifen immediately got out of the car to help carry the basket, and the two women quickly squeezed into the crowd with the baskets.
Shen Ruofei was also stunned. "There are so many people here! Can we squeeze in?"
"Just follow the crowd and you'll get in naturally." Lin Dongyan jumped out of the car skillfully.
He has been here many times, so he naturally has experience.
"Xiaoqiu, you have to hold on to me later. We can't get separated." With so many people around, Shen Ruofei thought of the incident with the human traffickers.
"Yeah." Yi Xiaoqiu jumped out of the car.
Then Shen Ruofei also came down.
As soon as he approached the main force, Yi Xiaoqiu held his breath.
At this moment, she really regretted that she shouldn't have listened to Shen Ruofei and come here to suffer.
Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at the others. Lin Dongyan and Qian Donglai did not show any discomfort on their faces and were extremely calm.
Shen Ruofei covered her nose.
"Do you want more?" Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't help but ask Shen Ruofei again. They were just outside the crowd, and the smell was so bad. If they squeezed into the crowd...
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't dare to think about it.
The ox cart hasn't arrived yet, so there's still time to go now.
Shen Ruofei shook her head, "No, I'm here now..."
Once these words came out, she couldn't refuse.
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded and said, "Okay!"
She took a deep breath and covered her mouth and nose with her scarf. "Then let's go in!"
Shen Ruofei tightened the scarf on her face and walked into the crowd with a determined look.
Lin Dongyan and the others were standing in front of Yi Xiaoqiu. As soon as they got close to the crowd, they were squeezed away to who knows where in the blink of an eye.
