Grandma Meng actually just gained weight. Ever since Jiang Baige moved in, meat has been an inseparable part of their lives.
When her arm was in a cast, she was still a thin and haggard old lady.
I have gained a lot of weight recently, so the plaster must have become smaller.
Seeing that she looked quite pitiful, Jiang Baige felt a little anxious.
She said, "Don't cook lunch yet. I'm going to go see if the village chief has returned. I'll ask him to help me get a letter of introduction so we can go to the county hospital and get this thing removed."
Grandma Meng had wanted to take this thing off for a long time, but she was afraid that the little fairy would be unhappy, so she kept it in mind and didn't dare to say anything.
When she heard that she was going to the county town, she happily responded, "Hey, go quickly, I'll wait for you at home."
Jiang Baige came to Chen's house. Zhou Xiuying was picking wild vegetables in the yard. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Auntie, is the village chief uncle at home?"
Zhou Xiuying saw Jiang Zhiqing standing at the door and waved with a smile, "Come in, your uncle just got back. I'll go get him for you."
As Zhou Xiuying spoke, she stood up from the stool and patted the mud off her hands.
"His father, Comrade Jiang from next door is here, please come out."
Someone responded from inside the room: "Hey, I'm coming."
Seeing the village chief coming out, Jiang Baige took two steps forward.
"Uncle Village Chief, Grandma Meng's arm may be in trouble. I want to take her to the county hospital to see a doctor for a checkup."
When Chen Defu heard this, he became a little worried.
Asked: "What's going on? Is it serious?"
Jiang Baige shook her head uncertainly. "It's red and swollen, and she said it's very itchy. I want to go to the county town right now. Can you give me some time off for the next two days?"
Chen Defu nodded, "Okay, seeing a doctor is the most important thing."
He hurried into the house and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a letter of introduction."
"Thank you, uncle."
Jiang Bai said thank you to Chen Defu's back.
Zhou Xiuying said, "Don't be anxious! Sit down and wait."
Jiang Baige forced a smile and sat down.
Chen Jiaojiao was cooking. When she heard her father say that Jiang Baige was coming, she hurried out.
"Sister, I heard you are going to the county town."
Jiang Baige nodded, "Yes, I need to go to the hospital."
Chen Jiaojiao took out two yuan from her pocket and said, "Sister, I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative in the county sells a facial oil called Snow Cream. Can you bring some back for me?"
When Zhou Xiuying heard her daughter wanted to buy vanishing cream, she laughed and said, "Little girl, why put on vanishing cream? Just scoop some lard from the oil can and apply it on yourself."
Chen Jiaojiao said coquettishly: "Mom, everyone uses facial oil. I'm grown up now, I don't want to use lard on my face anymore."
Jiang Baige had never heard of anyone using lard to wipe their face, and was a little surprised.
What era is this? People still use lard to wipe their faces.
"Jiaojiao, don't worry, I will definitely buy it back for you."
"Anything else you want? I can bring it back for you as well."
Chen Jiaojiao thought about it and asked her mother cautiously.
"Mom, can I buy another hair tie for a dollar?"
Zhou Xiuying smiled and said, "It's not my money anyway, so if you want to buy it, just buy it."
After hearing what her mother said, Chen Jiaojiao took out another dollar.
"Sister, please buy me another rubber band for one dollar! If you have the kind without the string, you can also buy this one."
Jiang Baige asked, "Do you want the one without the string? It will really tangle your hair."
In order to save money, Chen Jiaojiao has always used this, ten pieces for one cent, and she would buy them and wrap them with wool herself.
Chen Jiaojiao nodded, "Yes! I can wrap it. Look at what's on my head, I wrapped it myself."
He took the three dollars from Chen Jiaojiao and put it in his pocket. It seemed that she didn't have any cold cream or rubber bands in her space. These were not easy to find in the future.
Old domestic products like vanishing cream are rarely seen in supermarkets anymore, and are replaced by products made from chemicals.
Rubber bands are even harder to find, and can only be found in places where vegetables are packaged.
Thinking of packing vegetables, Jiang Baige started searching in the space in the blink of an eye.
I actually found a bag for her, hanging on the wall in the vegetable area.
Jiang Baige nodded, "Okay! I will definitely bring it to you."
She didn't expect that Chen Jiaojiao would have pocket money.
Seeing her take out three dollars at once, her mother didn't say anything. It is rare in rural areas like the Chen family where children have pocket money and can make their own decisions.
Zhou Xiuying glared at her daughter and said, "You need to buy this and that. Comrade Jiang is taking your Grandma Meng to see a doctor. How can he have the time to buy anything for you?"
However, she was smiling as she spoke, and there was a hint of doting in her tone. It seemed that she did not disagree with her daughter spending money to dress herself up.
Such an open-minded mother is rare in the countryside.
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I can find the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. It's very quick to go there. There won't be any delay at all."
After Chen Jiaojiao finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something: "Oh! I'm still cooking, sister, just don't forget it, and go slowly on the way."
Zhou Xiuying laughed and said, "Look at her ferocious appearance. She doesn't look like a little girl at all."
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "Jiaojiao is very cute. It's because of your good teaching, Auntie."
Zhou Xiuying was praised by her and started laughing too.
"Look at what you said. I see that you are only a few years older than Jiaojiao, but you are much more sensible than her."
"Jiaojiao is always wanting what others have. She's not sensible at all."
After Chen Defu got the letter of introduction and came out of the house, he heard his wife complaining about their daughter.
"Oh! If the child wants to buy something, just let her buy it. It's not easy to go to the county town. If you want something, ask Comrade Jiang to help bring it back."
As he spoke, he handed the letter of introduction to Jiang Baige.
"Comrade Jiang, if you want to go to the county town, you should leave early. There's a bus passing through town around two o'clock, so you still have time to go."
Jiang Baige took the letter of introduction and replied with a smile, "Thank you, uncle. We'll be leaving right away."
She was holding the letter and was about to leave. Zhou Xiuying smiled embarrassedly.
"Comrade Jiang, if you have time, please help me see if there's any lard for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'm out of lard at home."
"His father, do you have any money? Give Comrade Jiang five dollars, and I'll go get the meat coupons."
Now pork in the supply and marketing cooperative costs 70 cents per pound, and you can buy several pounds for five yuan.
Chen Defu actually had some money on him, so he took out a Great Unity banknote, and Zhou Xiuying also took out two meat tickets from the house.
She took the money from her man and handed it to Jiang Baige.
"Take a look. If there is one, buy it. If not, forget it."
Jiang Baige put the money and tickets in her pocket and said, "Well, I'll try my best to buy them for you. Think about it, do you want anything else?"
"I'll go back and pack up first. If you need anything else, tell me later."
She left a word and left the Chen family.
