This time Cheng Mingyue didn't refuse, she took the basket and smiled:
"I'll take the eggs, thank you, auntie!"
Liu Jinhua is also a straightforward person. Seeing Cheng Mingyue accept the eggs, she became visibly happier.
After Liu Jinhua left, Cheng Mingyue packed up the herbs and returned to the village office.
It was almost the end of August, and she had to summarize the villagers' work points so that she could make statistics at the end of the year.
Cheng Mingyue had just finished the work at hand when Xu Xiaoyan rushed in.
Cheng Mingyue raised her eyelids and said jokingly:
"What a rare guest! Why did Teacher Xu think of coming to my little place today?!"
Xu Xiaoyan pretended to be hurt and pursed her lips:
"What's wrong? Are you saying I'm not welcome? My weak heart is hurt. Mingyue, I need a White Rabbit candy to heal!"
"What a shame!" Cheng Mingyue took out a few White Rabbit candies from her pocket and placed them in her palm. She asked, "Tell me, what do you want to see me for today?"
"Why, can't I come and see you?"
Xu Xiaoyan peeled a candy and put it in her mouth, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Cheng Mingyue.
"Then you can look at it any way you want!"
Cheng Mingyue packed up her things and took out a newspaper to read.
Xu Xiaoyan tore off the newspaper and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Mingyue, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative together tomorrow."
"What are you going to do at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Xu Xiaoyan winked and said, "School is about to start, I want to buy some things for the start of the semester.
I heard that your brother's two sons are also going to school this year. As their aunt, why don't you show some support? "
"Okay, so how do we get there?!"
Cheng Mingyue was in trouble again.
His second brother rode the bicycle to work, and she still couldn't ride a bicycle after several months.
"I'll take you." Xu Xiaoyan's chin was so proud that it almost reached the sky.
When it comes to riding a bicycle, Xu Xiaoyan is really miles ahead of her.
She has tried to learn it in the past few months, but she just can't master it.
This is really weird!
I have been ridiculed by Xu Xiaoyan many times for this matter. Look, now I am being laughed at again.
Cheng Mingyue was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"Okay, if I can't do it, then I can do it. At least riding a bicycle won't be so tiring." Cheng Mingyue comforted herself in her heart.
Speaking of which, Cheng Mingyue hasn't been to the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time.
Ever since her second brother started working in town, he would bring her anything she needed, so she didn't have to go there herself.
Early the next morning, Xu Xiaoyan pushed her bicycle to Cheng Mingyue's house to wait for her.
Cheng Mingyue didn't let her wait any longer. After a while, she packed up and followed her out.
Xu Xiaoyan's cycling skills are really good. Cheng Mingyue didn't even feel how bumpy the ride was when she was sitting on the back seat.
Of course, it’s also because the back seat is padded.
The two of them talked and laughed along the way, and sometimes hummed the red songs unique to this era together. They were even more relaxed and free than going on an outing.
The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
Xu Xiaoyan mainly buys clothes for herself, as well as some things her family asked her to buy.
Cheng Mingyue was a little bored and didn't know what to buy for a moment.
It wasn't until she saw a few bottles of vanishing cream behind the counter that she suddenly had an idea.
I bought a few bottles and took them back for the women in my family to use. She also took a bottle home to try. I remember reading in a book that the snow cream of that era was particularly good. Not only was it made of good ingredients, but it also had great whitening and moisturizing effects.
I don’t know if it’s true.
"Buy four bottles of vanishing cream."
The salesperson looked up at Cheng Mingyue, then had an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth. His attitude was not very good and his voice was a little lazy.
"Five dollars a bottle, twenty dollars for four bottles, plus eight industrial tickets. Pay first!"
Cheng Mingyue took out the money and ticket and handed them over.
The salesperson pointed over and over again, his tone suddenly becoming particularly aggressive, and his voice suddenly rose several degrees:
"Two industrial tickets are missing. If you can't afford it, don't buy it!"
The saleswoman's voice became louder, instantly attracting many people's attention.
Some people who were queuing to buy things stopped and looked in Cheng Mingyue's direction.
Some people even started whispering to each other.
"This girl looks pretty, but why is she here buying things when she has no money? Isn't this just wasting everyone's time?"
"What's so unclear about this? He must be from the countryside. No matter how good-looking he is, he's still far behind us city folk."
"That's right, that's right. Only country people would treasure a piece of vanishing cream. We don't even want to use it anymore. It's not a very good thing!"
Cheng Mingyue was so angry that she laughed.
Her eyesight wasn't so blurry that she couldn't even count the money and bills.
A fierce light flashed in Cheng Mingyue's eyes. Without arguing for herself, she turned over and walked to the counter, holding up the saleswoman's hand high.
"Come on, let's count together and see how much money it is."
Cheng Mingyue placed the bills one by one on the counter, then slightly opened her red lips and began to count them word by word.
"one two three……"
Not only Cheng Mingyue but everyone in the queue couldn't help but start counting.
Seeing Cheng Mingyue running into the counter to count money, the saleswoman was stunned for a moment, but then not only did she not stop her, she also watched Cheng Mingyue struggling with an air of confidence.
Cheng Mingyue finished counting quickly, and there were indeed only twenty yuan and six tickets.
The saleswoman suddenly became arrogant:
"Have you finished counting? I didn't wrong you, did I? What else do you have to say now? If you can't afford it, then you can't afford it. Why are you pretending to be so arrogant?"
The gossipers below started talking again.
It's nothing more than Cheng Mingyue wasting time, she was trying to be something she was not, she deserved it, she was ashamed and so on.
Cheng Mingyue glanced at those people with a cold look, and her voice became even colder:
"You'd better shut up, or I won't mind giving you a few slaps to wake you up!"
Cheng Mingyue ignored those clowns and turned to look at the saleswoman.
"Did I tell you I've finished counting? You look quite anxious and confident!"
Then Cheng Mingyue lifted the saleswoman onto the counter, and in full view of everyone, she took out two industrial tickets from her shirt pocket, and waved the two tickets towards the people in the front row.
"Look carefully, my industrial tickets are all marked with a moon symbol."
The few people in the front row happened to be the ones who hadn't spoken just now and had remained very calm the entire time.
At this time, several people came over and took a look at what Cheng Mingyue was holding in her hand, and then took a look at the ones that had just been placed on the counter. It happened that each one had a moon mark on it.
"There is indeed a moon mark. This industrial ticket does belong to this girl."
"But why did those two industrial tickets end up in the salesperson's pocket?"
