Grandma Meng was sitting at the door waiting for Jiang Baige to come back, and she heard her footsteps coming back.
He hurriedly asked, "Have you received the letter of introduction?"
She felt a nagging itch on her arm, which she had been enduring for several days, but now she really couldn't bear it anymore.
Jiang Baige agreed, "Okay, wait here, I'll go pack some things and leave right away."
I took a look at Grandma Meng's clothes and they looked a little dirty.
She added, "Let me find you some clothes to change into. Your clothes are a little dirty."
When they go to the county town, they will stay there for at least a day. Then they will definitely take her out for a walk. If her clothes are too dirty, people will point fingers at her.
Grandma Meng didn't have any clothes. When she was about to say she didn't want them, Jiang Baige had already gone into the house.
I went to Grandma Meng's room, opened the cabinet and looked around, but there were no clothes inside. They were all old clothes with patches on them.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, picked up one thing at random, closed the door and walked out.
She still has a few pieces of cloth here. When she gets to the county town, she will go buy some cloth tomorrow. Her clothes are a bit old, so she will make two new sets for each of them to wear.
After helping Grandma Meng change her clothes, she went to the kitchen again.
It would take two nights to stay in the county town. It would be a waste to take out new things every time. Anyway, she also has a space, so she can pack some things and throw them in the space, and she won’t be tired from going back and forth.
He took out his pocket and put a thermos, two lunch boxes, a washbasin and a towel in it.
He glanced around the room and found nothing he wanted to take, so he closed the door.
"Let's go! Grandma Meng, let's set off now."
Grandma Meng wanted to ask, "You're not going to have lunch."
But before she could ask, Jiang Baige helped her out of the door.
Chen Defu ran out in a hurry and saw that Jiang Baige and the others had not left yet, so he waited for them at the door.
Jiang Baige saw him waiting at the door and asked, "Uncle, do you have anything else to do?"
Chen Defu smiled and said, "Uncle still needs your help with something."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of money from his pocket.
He had a hundred yuan, which the villagers were planning to give him to buy bicycles, but they had been waiting for two years and the village hadn't allocated a single bicycle ticket.
The money was of no use, so he wanted to give it to Jiang Baige and ask her to try her luck in the county town to get a bicycle ticket.
Seeing them arrive at the door, Chen Defu waved to Jiang Baige.
"Comrade Jiang, come here, uncle has something to tell you."
Seeing him acting so mysterious, Jiang Baige said to Grandma Meng, "Grandma Meng, wait a minute. I'll be back soon."
He came to Chen Defu and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter? Tell me."
Chen Defu whispered, "You've been to the county town a few times, so you should be familiar with the general area. Uncle would like to ask you for a favor, okay?"
Jiang Baige raised his eyes and looked at him seriously, then smiled and said, "What's the big deal about helping or not, uncle? As long as I can help you, I will definitely help you."
Chen Defu handed her the money in his hand and said, "I heard that there's a place near the supply and marketing cooperative in the county where you can exchange bicycle tickets. I want you to help me. Go and see if you can get one when you have time."
He smiled awkwardly, "I know this is against the rules, but there's really nothing I can do."
"Look, I've been running to town every few days, and I've worn out several pairs of shoes. Now that I'm old, my legs and feet are not very convenient, so I want to buy a bicycle."
After hearing this, Jiang Baige hummed and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will try my best to help you. If I'm lucky, I can buy you a bicycle."
After hearing her words, the usually serious man burst into laughter.
Chen Defu said, "Although I don't dare to think about it, if it's possible, I certainly hope you can do it for me."
"I asked Jianguo to help me with this matter but it didn't work out, so I don't think I'll be able to do it."
Jiang Baige is not someone who says things casually; she only says this because she can really do it.
Most men's bicycles nowadays are Phoenix brand 28-inch bicycles. She doesn't need to go anywhere else, she can find one in her space. It's really easy to take one out.
She smiled, said nothing more, and put the money in her pocket.
"Okay! Uncle, we'll leave first. You wait for my good news."
Chen Defu only hoped that this young comrade could help him get bicycle tickets, but he really didn't dare to think about bicycles.
It was noon now and there were no ox carts going to the town from the village entrance, so Jiang Baige and the others had no choice but to walk to the town.
After leaving the village and walking on the country road, Jiang Baige took out a can of eight-treasure porridge when he saw that there was no one around.
"Grandma Meng, you must be hungry! Have some eight-treasure porridge to fill your stomach first. We'll eat in the county town later."
Grandma Meng smiled and said, "I'm not hungry either. You've worked all morning. If you're hungry, just eat something."
Jiang Baige had already opened the can and scooped out a spoonful.
"It's going to take a long time to get there, how can you not eat?"
"Come, try it and see if it tastes good."
"ah!"
She had already scooped out a spoonful and brought it to Grandma Meng's mouth.
Grandma Meng opened her mouth, took the spoon that was brought to her lips, and put it in her mouth.
Jiang Baige asked, "How does it taste?"
"Yeah, it's sweet. It has sugar in it."
Grandma Meng ate and commented on the taste.
"Yes! There are sugar, red dates, white fungus, lotus seeds, peanuts, red beans, and wheat in it. Can you tell the difference?"
Grandma Meng opened her mouth again and said, "Such a precious thing, let me taste it."
The two chatted and laughed all the way to the town.
After Grandma Meng finished eating the eight-treasure porridge, Jiang Baige took out a bag of spicy strips to eat.
She really didn't like riding in that airbag car. As soon as she sat in, she could smell the gasoline.
Sometimes she even wondered if the car had a gas leak.
She was afraid of getting carsick today, so she ate a bag of spicy strips to calm down.
Grandma Meng walked too slowly. Jiang Baige raised her hand to look at her watch and it was almost half past one.
If they want to catch the two o'clock bus, they have to walk faster.
After walking forward for a while, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind them.
Jiang Baige looked back and saw that she didn't recognize the man driving the car.
I haven’t seen it in Chenjia Village, so it must be from another village.
Judging from his age, he should be around 40 or 50 years old.
Jiang Baige waved, "Uncle, uncle, can you give us a ride?"
The carriage stopped and the uncle said, "Come on! You're going to town, right?"
Jiang Baige heard that she could take them, so she helped Grandma Meng over.
"Well, we are going to the county town to see a doctor. We can take a bus to the town. Uncle, thank you."
Grandma Meng usually doesn't talk much when she meets strangers.
Now he spoke, "Brother, thank you very much for giving us a ride."
The uncle smiled and said, "I'll take you along as a favor. Are you all seated? I'm about to set off."
Jiang Baige responded, "Uncle, let's go!"
