Chapter 37 Human Relations(1/2)
In the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Lingjun bought a lot of things in large and small bags.
There was nothing at home, but he wanted everything.
I need to buy some pickles and some of Xiuzhi’s favorite chili peppers.
For example, you have to buy a few bowls and plates.
The person who borrowed it from Aunt Dong last time didn't want it either, so I gave them some new ones.
Buy some salt, soy sauce, vinegar and so on.
Don't buy more of this, as the weather will improve in a couple of days and maggots will easily appear.
Xu Lingjun remembers that when he was a child, he often got jealous, especially in summer.
But it’s okay, if you get the bugs out, you’ll still get the vinegar.
Many people of later generations do not understand that vinegar that can produce maggots is the real good vinegar.
It is brewed from grain, not produced by industry.
I just got the tickets, so I got two kilograms of fruit candies.
Xiuzhi didn't even want to eat the little candy at home even after they got married.
I also need a pack of matches.
Smoke~uh~Xu Lingjun flipped through the tickets, there really is some, let’s have some too!
It can be a facade just in case it comes in handy later.
In this way, a lot of his miscellaneous tickets were used here and there.
The salesperson has also seen the "big world".
People like Xu Lingjun often "bring" things to others.
Issue the ticket directly and ask him to pay at the counter.
Just wait until you have the receipt and come back to pick up the items.
After such a round, Xu Lingjun's small treasury lost another twenty, leaving more than fifty.
This small county town is not big, and the most prosperous place is near the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's not even as good as the slightly better towns in later generations.
He originally wanted to visit a jewelry processing place.
I'm wondering if I can add a small vault.
But when he passed by the door, he took one look and left directly.
Because he saw an acquaintance, the big horse monkey he had seen in the ghost market.
Although this man's face was also decorated at the time.
But Xu Lingjun recognized his long arms at a glance.
No wonder Damahou is so professional, it turns out he works here.
Xu Lingjun is not planning to sell gold any more in the short term. Money is so exciting!
He didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
As long as he has enough money, he must pay more attention to his identity, otherwise he will have to run away with Xiuzhi.
But with Xiuzhi’s temperament, she probably wouldn’t go to the far south with him.
He went to the big car shop and bought some steamed buns, and then he was ready to go back.
I found a deserted place on the road and came to the space.
Light up the stove, stew the mutton bought at the ghost market, and satisfy your craving.
After eating and drinking, continue walking back.
Although the mutton smell is very strong, it should dissipate along the way.
Otherwise, with people’s flesh-deficient noses these days, you can smell it right away when you eat something good.
When they were approaching Team 7, Xu Lingjun had an extra basket in his hand, and he didn't cover it either.
Expose the contents inside, just some dishes, soy sauce, vinegar and the like.
By the way, there is also the old casserole. This thing is good, and the old one is not conspicuous.
It can both stew and cook medicine.
The only valuable thing in the basket was the piece of suet, which of course was part of what he bought.
He thought that if someone with a good nose could smell it, he could continue to talk about it.
Another point is that I can’t afford oil or lard, so I can always get some sheep!
This is also consistent with his identity.
He didn't plan to take out the chicks. Since they could be exchanged for them in the village, he let Xiuzhi exchange them.
It saved him a lot of money and changed it from outside. He didn't want to make a profit even if he offended people.
Sure enough, that's what he had in his basket.
The old ladies from Team 7 who were idle at home would take a look at him intentionally or unintentionally.
The children running around were not idle either.
They are not that particular and just stick their heads out to see what it is.
Look at the disappointed eyes of the children.
And the disdainful looks in the eyes of those old ladies. (The newlyweds went to the city and bought some of this?)
Xu Lingjun knew that he had fooled him with these things.
"Ms. Dong, this plate is returned to you."
When Xu Lingjun saw Aunt Dong, he quickly took out two plates and handed two bowls to her and said.
"Kid, just give me those two old ones."
Aunt Dong said with a smile.
Don't think that they are stingy or that no one is rich. They have already helped them a lot.
"No, just take it. We can use the old one at home."
"I've used up my feelings these past two days, so I'll give you a new one!"
The current Xu Lingjun is no longer the original owner who did not understand the ways of the world.
He directly put the two plates and two bowls into Aunt Dong's hands and said.
"Okay, this kid~ I'll keep it then."
Aunt Dong didn't refuse and accepted it directly. This kind of thing is normal for human relations.
"Okay, Aunt Dong, I'll go back then."
Xu Lingjun returned the dishes and left.
It's not that he doesn't want to give Aunt Dong some food or something.
Mainly because it doesn’t fit his status as an “old right” person.
To pretend to be poor, you must pretend to be poor!
"Hey~ sister-in-law is here~"
As soon as Xu Lingjun entered the house, he saw Niu Fengyingzheng and Xiu Zina wearing soles. They were talking and laughing.
"Lingjun is back. He went to the city to buy something and came back."
Niu Fengying was not polite and looked inside when she saw Xu Lingjun carrying the basket.
If this action were to be seen in future generations, it would definitely be annoying.
But now it's acquaintances expressing a feeling of closeness.
"Sister-in-law, I just bought some plates and stuff."
"By the way, Xiuzhi, I took the newly bought plates and bowls and returned them to Aunt Dong."
Xu Lingjun simply took out these things one by one and displayed them.
“This casserole is good!”
Niu Fengying saw this casserole at a glance. This stew is excellent.
"This one happened to happen, so I changed it."
"It's just used. Fortunately it's cheap."
"That's right, this is how you can get ahead of others."
