Chapter 12 The Same Time As Yesterday

I bought pea cakes.

The employee of the catering service asked Luo Xuan: "Do you use paper bags or banana leaves?"

The reason why the employee asked Luo Xuan this way was because in the past, service agencies used yellow paper to pack packages for customers.

But things like pea cakes and fried dough sticks are all fried foods.

And yellow paper will absorb oil.

Many customers complained: all the oil and water in the pea cake has been absorbed! It doesn't taste good.

Everyone felt like they had suffered a huge loss.

As a result, the packaging of catering services later became yellow paper and banana leaves, allowing customers to choose.

Luo Xuan did not hesitate and chose to wrap six pea cakes in banana leaves.

There is a saying that banana leaves do not absorb oil.

As for fried foods like pea cakes, you really need a little bit of oil in them to make them delicious.

Taking these six pea cakes, Luo Xuan walked quickly towards the east entrance of Hongxing Township.

The intersection there is the only way for members of the Zhengxing Production Team where they come to go to the market.

Luo Xuan has to wait for someone.

This person's name is Yi Yang, but he is nicknamed "Yiyi".

Yi Yang is also very interesting to talk about: he works very hard in the production team on weekdays, and he is a standard strong laborer.

For a day's work, he can receive a full ten points of work points.

Moreover, he raised pigs to make them fat and fat, and raised flocks of sheep. Whether doing farm work or raising livestock, he was a good hand.

A few years ago.

Farmers can raise pigs and sheep by themselves. Yi Yang worked hard for several years, and his three sisters and brother-in-law sponsored him some money.

Therefore, Yi Yang's life is much better than that of most people.

Once people have some money, they will have higher-level pursuits.

Yi Yang's pursuit is: go to the market!

And you must rush to every market!

As long as Hongxing Township goes to the market, he will not continue to work.

On the market day, this person must come to the market to attend the market.

Whether he buys something or not is another matter, but in short, he will come whenever there is a market.

This has been his habit for many years.

And the reason why he got this nickname was because he wore a "Shanghai brand" watch on his wrist.

This is an incredible figure in the countryside!

There are few watches in the entire Hongxing Township, but Yi Yang is wearing one of them on his wrist.

If you have something on your wrist, you must show it.

It's like wearing rich and beautiful clothes, how can you walk at night?

Therefore, even in the dead of winter, Yi Yang would flip up the sleeves on his hands and show the bright white watch in front of everyone.

No matter where Yiyang goes, many people will ask him what time it is?

Some of these people who ask about the time really need to know the time.

Some of them deliberately tease Yi Yiyang out of pure fun or even mischief.

What time is it now?

Yi Yang, what time is it now?

When he first started wearing the watch, Yi Yang encountered probably no fewer than twenty or thirty people asking him for the time every day.

As time passed, Yi Yang came to his senses: These guys are probably teasing themselves!

then.

From then on, whenever Yi Yang met someone who asked him about the time, he would reply: "It's the same as this time yesterday."

"Same as yesterday at this time!"

Over time, others started calling him "Yi Yang..."

Yi Yang guaranteed that he would immediately reply impatiently: "Don't ask, it's the same!"

So in the end, he got such a nickname: Same.

Luo Xuan first found a corner, went into the space and hid the pea cake, and then stood at the intersection waiting for Yi Yang.

Waited for a while.

Luo Xuan then saw Yi Yang, who was wearing a "four-pocket" cadre uniform, with a "fake white shirt collar" sewn on the collar of his blue shirt, walking towards him with a straight waist and a somewhat cadre-like demeanor.

"Uncle Yi, are you coming to the market?"

Luo Xuan came up and said hello.

Yi Yang glanced at Luo Xuan, nodded lightly, and then his nose twitched: "You kid, are you eating alone?"

During this period, everyone’s noses are really sensitive!

Luo Xuan just took the pea cake, and there might be some oily smell on his body, but Yi Yang smelled it!

"Luo Xuan, you came here to attend the show and you are not afraid to go back..."

Yi Yang patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder and admonished: "Go back and cut the cow grass, otherwise...sigh..."

Luo Xuan smiled, leaned close to Yi Yang and whispered: "Uncle Yi, you are well-connected in the countryside and know a lot of people. Uncle, can you do me a big favor?"

Being praised for "knowing many public officials" always makes people feel more face-saving.

It seems that Yi Yang can get a little bit of the "public family" light, just like Yourong Yan.

After being flattered by Luo Xuan, Yi Yang finally straightened his head and began to look squarely at Luo Xuan.

He looked at Luo Xuan with a puzzled face and asked, "How can you, a little baby, be such a big deal?"

Luo Xuan took out 2 cents and handed it to Yi Yang, "Uncle Yi, I want your help to buy me a piece of scrap steel wire from a foreign horse."

"Yangmaer" is a common name for bicycles among rural people.

The post office in Hongxing Township is equipped with a 28-inch bicycle for the postman.

in addition.

The "correspondents" in the township office also have bicycles.

The steel wire on the bicycle wheel hub sometimes comes off due to poor wire craftsmanship, causing the steel wire on the bicycle tire to be scrapped.

This kind of replaced steel wire is useless to postmen and correspondents, but it is very important to Luo Xuan.

The eels caught in the rice fields are never too big.

Only the eels hiding in the cracks of the wells and under the big rocks by the pond are really big!

When Luo Xuan was carrying water, he had already seen two big eel heads that were starting to turn black in the stone crevices of the well.

But this kind of eel cannot be caught unless you are willing to dismantle the well.

Since you can't catch it, you can only rely on "fishing" and using earthworms to hook it.

It is difficult to fish it out with ordinary fishhooks or wire.

The wire is too soft, and most of the eel's body is entangled in the cracks in the rocks. It is very strong!

"Get a wire?"

Yi Yang replied without thinking: "This is difficult for others, but who are you, Uncle Yi? Okay, I'll help you with this."

"Really?"

Luo Xuan was overjoyed, with a look of surprise on his face!

This expression is half true and half false.

In one case, Luo Xuan was really overjoyed. In the other case, if Luo Xuan wanted others to help, he had to make others feel that he was very powerful and that his help was valuable!

Yi Yang laughed and said, "What's the point? Several officers in the township office used to be soldiers led by my second brother-in-law! You, Uncle Yi, and I even ate in the township office's dining group!"

The cooks didn’t even ask me for food stamps, they paid for the 2 cents for the vegetables.”

Luo Xuan gave a thumbs up: "Uncle Yi, you are so awesome!"

Yi Yang returned the money to Luo Xuan, then patted his chest and promised, "You go back to work first, don't let your... mother act like that again, her voice is so unpleasant! When I return to the production team in the afternoon, you can come find me

I."

After bidding farewell to Uncle Yi, Luo Xuan ran home full of hope!

Although I can't do big farm work, I can still earn 2-3 work points by cutting enough cattle grass for the production team.

The work points are not many and they are not valuable.

But there are not too many people in rural areas. No matter how small the income is, it is still money!
