Chapter 71 Fate and the gap(1/2)
Uncle Dong came to the county town with a few chattering little girls.
Looking at the lively scene around them, the little girls calmed down a lot.
There was no longer shouting, but a few people were whispering.
They rarely come to the city. Every time they go to the city, it is like a pilgrimage, which makes them seem a little restricted.
They don't know why, but when they see city people, they feel inferior to them.
Uncle Dong drove the carriage to the carriage shop and fed the horses first.
This is the case in this era. Horses are more valuable than people. Take care of the horses first before you consider yourself.
It's still early now, around ten o'clock in the morning.
After some discussion, they took action separately.
Xiuzhi is in a group with the Li sisters, and Uncle Dong is in a group with Dong Xiaoyan and Xing'er.
After all, Dong Xiaoyan and Myolie are not that familiar with the Li sisters, so it’s better to go shopping separately.
Besides, they also considered one thing.
Let’s not talk about this for now, after all, once you mention it, it feels like plastic sisters.
The reason why Uncle Dong got involved is because he still has a mission!
He promised to carry things to many people in the team.
The reason why he wanted to bring his niece Dong Xiaoyan and the others.
Another reason is that he is illiterate, let alone the miscellaneous things that each family wants.
He is not like Guo Zhenzi, and he also adjusted his own writing.
If he doesn't bring a smart person, he'll be in trouble if he doesn't bring all the things he brings or if he brings the wrong things.
Speaking of this uneducated thing, Uncle Dong once made a joke.
The last time he treated Da Qingma, he took the wrong prescription form and gave her a payment form directly.
Alas~ What he envied the most in his life were cultural people.
It was precisely for this reason that he felt that Xu Lingjun was a pity.
He also took great care of Xu Lingjun, which can be regarded as Uncle Dong cherishing his talents.
He didn't have that condition when he was young, and he suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated his whole life.
When he gets old, he can't do anything he wants to do, which has become a problem for Uncle Dong.
Xiuzhi and the Li sisters wandered around the county town together.
They went directly to the most prosperous place in the county, the supply and marketing cooperative.
After wandering around for a long time, looking at the dazzling array of products, it’s good to have some fun!
Xiuzhi bought a notebook and some pencils, which she had planned for a long time.
She plans to write down dates in the future.
According to Xu Lingjun, record those interesting things.
This will not only train her to read more, but also create beautiful memories.
Of course she didn't come up with the word "good memories".
It was Xu Lingjun who told her, so she thought it would be a good idea to write it down secretly.
Li Huifang and Li Huijuan were surprised to see her buying these "useless things".
In the eyes of the two sisters, anything that has nothing to do with their daily lives is useless.
The most important thing is that Xiuzhi actually has money and even food stamps.
Because they were wandering around, it was noon before they knew it.
Several people's stomachs couldn't help but growl.
"Huifang, Huijuan, let's go have dinner!"
Xiuzhi saw that the two of them had lost their energy and her stomach was growling with hunger, so she raised the question of eating.
"This~ this~ we came out in a hurry and didn't bring any solid food."
Li Huifang said helplessly.
She had been hungry for a long time. She came out early in the morning and originally wanted to go to the field department.
I didn’t expect to arrive in the county, so of course I didn’t prepare anything to eat.
"Xiuzhi, I didn't prepare dry food either."
The same goes for Li Huijuan.
Her mean mother-in-law lived a very delicate life.
Eat some meals in a rationed way to save money.
Apart from urging her to have a baby quickly, he never had a good attitude toward her.
"It's okay, I'll treat you to a big car shop to eat!"
Xiuzhi didn't think much when she heard what they said.
She prepared two kilograms of food stamps last night, which was enough for them to eat.
"Go to a big car store to eat?"
"Xiuzhi, are you serious?"
The Li sisters asked in surprise.
Don't look at big car shops that can only provide some simple food.
But for them, this is just a restaurant.
That's why the Li sisters were so surprised!
This is also the reason why Dong Xiaoyan and the others went shopping in separate groups just now.
It's not easy for any family now, everyone has their own relationship.
If Xiuzhi had no food to eat, Dong Xiaoyan and the others would definitely take Xiuzhi with them.
However, the two sisters knew Xiuzhi well and came to the ranch together. Of course, Xiuzhi hosted them.
It's not that Dong Xiaoyan and the others are indifferent, this can be regarded as an invisible rule of this era.
"Really, there's nothing nonsense about this."
"We are from the same village, and I want to invite you to come to the city. Of course I will entertain you."
Xiuzhi said while pulling the two of them towards the car shop.
The two sisters followed Xiu Zhi to the car shop in confusion.
Xiuzhi ordered some cornmeal pancakes, and a bit distressedly ordered a bowl of egg drop soup.
If only she would definitely order some cornmeal pancakes.
Just ask the store owner for a bowl of water and that's it.
But now that there are sisters from the Li family, her meal can be regarded as a treat, so it can't be too shabby.
Several golden cornmeal pancakes and a large basin of egg drop soup were placed on the table.
Only then did the Li sisters realize that Xiuzhi really wanted to treat them to dinner today, or go to a restaurant in the city.
Looking at the food, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little restrained and nervous.
This is a restaurant. They have never enjoyed such treatment in their hometown.
Xiuzhi had some experience following Xu Lingjun here last time.
After all, she is a twenty-year-old girl.
With "economic autonomy" at home.
Although I don’t do it deliberately, I unconsciously want to show off in front of those close to me.
Xiuzhi is not stupid. This is just to show off in front of her sisters from the same hometown. She would not dare to do it in the seventh team.
Besides, Xiuzhi is still very restrained. The pancakes she eats are considered to be coarse-grain ones, but she can't bear to part with the fine-grain ones.
Treating sisters from the same hometown, this kind of treatment, even if the Seventh Team knew about it, they wouldn't say anything.
Xiuzhi generously served soup to the two of them, and handed each of them a pancake.
Then he took out a small handful of dried chili peppers from the old bag he carried with him and put it on the table, signaling the two of them to eat quickly.
"Chili? That's great. I haven't eaten chili in a long time."
Li Huijuan picked up a chili and stuffed it into her mouth, then ate it.
