"You have extra, why don't you give me some?" Zhao Xiaoli had nothing to eat and didn't want to spend money.
Huang Xinrui retorted, "Whatever we have is ours. Why should we give it to you for free? Do you want to freeload?"
Zhao Xiaoli bit her lip and took out a penny from her luggage. "Give me one."
"The meat buns are two mao each," Li Xiyue said.
Grandma Yu, "Chive dumplings are one cent."
"Five cents for a spring pancake," Huang Xinrui said.
Although her spring pancakes had no eggs or meat, they were made by her mother herself, so they were worth five points.
Zhao Xiaoli raised her eyebrows. "Why don't you just rob it?"
“We’ll sell as much of our stuff as you want. If you can’t afford it, don’t eat it.” Li Xiyue pointed to the other side, “There, the northwest wind is free, and you can have as much as you want.” After saying that, she put the extra buns and pancakes into the lunchbox and stuffed them into her luggage.
Zhao Xiaoli's face turned bright red with anger.
How can these people have no compassion at all? They're all educated youth sent to the countryside, couldn't they at least give her a discount on food?
Such stinginess and miserliness will surely bring retribution!
Huang Xinrui glanced at Li Xiyue's luggage and asked casually, "Yueyue, you even brought canned food?"
"Mm." Li Xiyue nodded.
Of course, she had more than three cans of food; she just left three outside so people would know she had them and could eat them openly. The rest she kept in her spatial storage.
Zhao Xiaoli also saw Li Xiyue's canned food and her mouth watered.
I had heard Li Muqing mention before that Li Xiyue's maternal grandfather's family ran a clinic and was very wealthy, but I never expected that Li Xiyue would even be willing to buy canned food.
She had never eaten canned food before, and she wished she could have a bottle to try.
But she knew Li Xiyue wouldn't give it to her, and even if she offered money, Li Xiyue wouldn't sell it to her. Besides, she was reluctant to spend money to buy it, so she could only curse the three of them in her heart and go to sit down and enjoy the breeze.
Huang Xinrui took a bite of the meat bun and made a sarcastic remark, "Some people are really amazing. They don't need to eat anything; they can be full just by drinking the northwest wind."
Zhao Xiaoli turned her back in anger, her shoulders trembling.
Li Xiyue couldn't help but laugh. This girl was really good at delivering the finishing blow.
After lunch, the shuttle bus arrived. The county shuttle bus was not crowded and had plenty of seats. This time, Zhao Xiaoli was smart again and was the first to rush on the bus and get a good seat.
Upon arriving at Chunfeng Commune, before the production team's representatives to pick up the educated youth had arrived, Li Xiyue decided to go for a stroll and buy all the things she would need for her trip to the countryside.
The commune only had a supply and marketing cooperative, and there weren't many things available. Li Xiyue bought some vegetable oil and seasonings, as well as a kerosene lamp and some kerosene.
Oil is rationed, with only four ounces per person. Kerosene is one ounce, salt is two ounces, while soy sauce and vinegar are unlimited. But in a place where people can't even get enough to eat, no one would buy more of these seasonings.
Li Xiyue counted out the grain coupons, oil coupons, kerosene coupons, soy sauce coupons, and vinegar coupons, and handed them to the salesperson along with the money.
They were all nationally valid tickets. The salesperson counted them, packed the items, and gave them to her.
Huang Xinrui bought everything except a kerosene lamp.
I brought some with me, and after buying a few more, that should be enough. I'll wait until I get to the village to see what else I need and then get the other larger items there.
Back outside the station, the person who was there to pick me up had already arrived. He was a man in his early thirties, with dark skin and a medium build.
"Yueyue, this is Dawei, the captain of our first production team." Grandma Yu introduced Li Xiyue, "Dawei, this is Yueyue, the girl I told you about, she's a very nice girl."
While on the bus, Grandma Yu had already told Li Xiyue and the others about the production team's situation.
The Hongtaiyang Production Team was composed of four or five nearby villages. Each village was divided into a small team, and each team had a team leader. However, calling them team leaders didn't sound good, so they were usually called deputy team leaders.
Xujia Village was the first production team. It was the largest village, with the most fields and forests. Therefore, the team committee was located in this village, and the brigade leader also came from this village.
"Auntie, I understand." Xu Dawei glanced at Li Xiyue, stunned by her appearance.
These female educated youth sent to the countryside are all so beautiful; they might just be troublemakers.
