Chen Jianguo and Jiang Baige looked up at the same time and saw a female comrade walking towards them at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
The female comrade was wearing a floral shirt on the upper body and a pair of green Dacron pants on the lower body. Her hair looked very straightened. Her hair was braided into two braids and draped over her shoulders. She walked towards them with a smile on her face.
Chen Jianguo stopped the ox cart, then looked back at Jiang Baige and thought, "This has nothing to do with him."
Jiang Baige's two delicate eyebrows twisted together when he saw this female comrade.
He also tilted his head to look at Chen Jianguo to see if his expression had changed.
The person who came was the niece of Chen Jianguo’s cousin, and Chen Jianguo didn’t even know her name.
It was really an accident that we encountered this.
Li Xiaoxiao heard from her aunt that Chen Jianguo was already engaged and asked her to pretend that the engagement had never happened.
She didn't believe it at first, thinking that her aunt was unwilling to help. Now seeing the two of them talking and laughing, the jealousy in her heart urged her to go and see what kind of woman she was that Chen Jianguo would rather choose her than herself.
She pretended to be calm and walked to the front of the ox cart with a smile, acting like she was very familiar with Chen Jianguo.
Smiling, she asked, "Brother Jianguo, where are you going? Is this your sister?"
She asked this on purpose, for when she saw the woman on the ox cart, she didn't know what to feel.
This woman has good skin and is even prettier than her. The clothes she is wearing are the ones she has always wanted to buy but couldn't afford.
Hearing her words, Jiang Baige stared into her eyes, to see what else she would say.
Chen Jianguo was speechless. Where did this person come from?
He kept complaining in his mind, but he still answered politely.
"This is my fiancée, not some sister."
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, so he added doubtfully.
"Comrade, who are you? I don't seem to know you."
After hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao swallowed her words and became extremely angry.
"Me! Li Xiaoxiao, we just met last time. My aunt is your cousin!"
When Jiang Baige saw her like this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Chen Jianguo said innocently, "Comrade, I really don't know you. We have things to do! I'll leave first."
He was afraid that if he delayed any longer, this woman would start saying nonsense, and he would never be able to clear himself of it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
What would he do if his wife got angry?
He really doesn't dare to mess with someone who always talks about breaking up.
Chen Jianguo cracked the whip and the ox cart started moving.
When Li Xiaoxiao saw Chen Jianguo and the others leaving, she stomped her feet and snorted in frustration.
"Humph, what a thing, you have no sense at all."
Another man came out of the supply and marketing cooperative. When he saw Li Xiaoxiao talking to someone, he didn't go forward. Now that he saw them leaving, he ran over.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know them? Are they friends or relatives?"
Li Xiaoxiao looked up at the man next to her. He was thin and dark, like a skinny monkey, and extremely ugly.
She said impatiently, "What's it to you?"
Then he waved his hand and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
The man didn't understand why, so he kindly asked her why she was angry.
Chen Jianguo and the others left the main street and hurried to explain.
"Bai Ge, I really don't know this person. You have to trust me."
Jiang Baige held his eyes, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, and then said, "This must be the person you want to go on a blind date with! You better be careful from now on and stay away from her."
Chen Jianguo didn't expect his wife to not be angry, and then said happily: "I'll listen to you, I'll stay away from her when I see her in the future."
As they were talking, they arrived at the scrap collection station in a short while.
The gatekeeper was an older woman, and perhaps because no one came, she was lying on a bench and sleeping.
After Chen Jianguo parked the ox cart, Jiang Baige jumped down and whispered, "Comrade, is there a bed here? We want to buy a bed."
The elder sister heard the sound and opened her eyes.
Seeing that it was two young men, he rubbed his eyes and sat up immediately.
"You want beds? They're all in here, pick your own."
Afraid that they didn't know the price, he added.
"Wood is one cent a pound, and anything else is two cents a pound."
Jiang Baige smiled at her and said, "Thank you, comrade. Then we'll go in and choose."
Seeing them go in, the female comrade sat back down. She had just been dreaming about eating meat, but now her dream was interrupted and all her meat disappeared.
Jiang Baige and Chen Jianguo came to the purchasing station, which was a renovated uninhabited house. Each variety was placed in a different room, and it looked cleaner than the one in the county town.
Jiang Baige guessed that this must have been divided by the female comrades outside, as women are more meticulous in their work.
Chen Jianguo asked, "Are you just buying a bed today? Do you want anything else?"
Jiang Baige thought about it and realized that the newspapers she bought last time had been posted not long ago, and they were damaged this time. She had to buy some more.
Grandma Meng also slept on a kang, and the walls were covered with newspapers, which looked fresh.
Jiang Baige said, "I need a bed and newspapers, as many as you can get. If there are cabinets, there aren't any. I also need a dining table."
She wanted to buy a cabinet because Grandma Meng's kang was big, and she could put away clothes, quilts and other things that were not in use.
Grandma Meng sleeps on a kang, and they will definitely play there in the winter, so we bought a cabinet where they can store things.
There are not many usable pieces of furniture in Grandma Meng's house anymore, so she decided to buy all of them if she could find something suitable.
After hearing this, Chen Jianguo said hurriedly: "Okay, let's look for it separately."
Only after Chen Jianguo left did Jiang Baige look at it carefully.
These are used by ordinary people. They look very ordinary and there is nothing good about them.
We came to a small room, which was filled with quite a few books and newspapers.
The messy pile of calligraphy and paintings on the ground still attracted Jiang Baige's attention.
There are too many, and Jiang Baige doesn’t want to buy them all.
She had already done the thing of picking up money on the ground, and it wouldn't work this time.
I want to ask the system, this thing knows too much, I wonder if there is a system with the function of identifying good things.
He hurriedly asked, "System system."
The system's mechanical sound immediately rang out.
“Here I am!”
Jiang Baige asked: "System, can you tell whether it is real or fake?"
The system asked doubtfully: "Host, what do you mean by true or false?"
Jiang Baige secretly rolled her eyes at the system, and then spoke directly.
"It's one of those things that's over two or three hundred years old. It's valuable anyway. Can you identify it?"
The system said, "Why don't you just say antiques and gold, silver, and treasures? Stop beating around the bush."
Jiang Baige was actually speechless after being confronted by the system.
Then he asked, "Yes, that's it. Is it among those in front of me?"
The system said, "It's right in front of you. The paintings on your left are five hundred years old, and some six hundred years old."
