More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. It was another holiday. When Jiang Xinyu returned home on her bicycle, she found that Jiang Yuzhu was back.
She was quite surprised to see Jiang Yuzhu. The two sisters had not seen each other for a month.
Every weekend, when Chen Yi couldn't take her home, he would leave her bicycle at school. However, he suggested that it would be better to live on campus when he was away.
Yao Xianmin's incident left a shadow on both of them, but people should not stop eating because of choking. They should go home, and Jiang Xinyu still had to go home. Yao Xianmin was sent to the northwest for reform, which can be regarded as evil retribution.
She got her salary this week, and after deducting a month's food expenses, she still has more than twenty-four yuan. The school food is quite cheap, and she can save most of the money.
She had no classes after the third period in the morning. She sneaked out of school and queued up to go to the food station to buy pig's trotters. When she went there, there was no meat, only pig's trotters and sewage. She didn't have a meat ticket, but she still had more.
I spent a dime to buy two pig trotters.
Not only Jiang Yuzhu was there now, but also Li Lei, who was sitting under the shed breaking chestnuts to eat.
"Brother Li San, are you on vacation? Did you two come back together?"
Jiang Yuzhu said: "We happened to meet each other at the station when we were taking the train in the morning, so we came back together."
Li Lei smiled and raised his chin, pointing to the baggage on the table, "I brought back some good things today. You come here to pick out which color you like."
Opening the cloth pocket, there was actually a lot of fabric inside. Although the fabric was not of high quality, it was definitely not cheap for so much.
In addition to cloth, there are also some small rags in various designs and colors.
"How can I have the nerve to ask for this expensive thing for free? I'll pay for it so you don't suffer a loss."
The captain's wife is interested in Jiang Yuzhu, which Jiang Xinyu vaguely understands. Can she ask for Li Lei's things for free?
Li Lei said proudly: "You take your pick. This is defective cloth from our factory, and I didn't spend much money. I'm also doing this to thank Chen Yi. As for the food incident last time, you know, I don't have the nerve to take advantage of you."
It’s cheap, you two are going to get married sooner or later, so I’ll treat it as an advance gift.”
It's a lie that it didn't cost much, but it was indeed much cheaper than going to the supply and marketing cooperative. The most important thing was that he didn't need a ticket, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy so much at once.
Cloth is difficult to buy because it is hard to find cloth tickets, and the price is not cheap. If he goes back and says that he bought it with his salary, his parents will definitely not say a word.
He came here carrying his things before he got home, because he was afraid that he would not be able to put them out after he returned home. After all, his family also lacked clothes.
The other party was too enthusiastic, but Jiang Xinyu was still embarrassed and gave Jiang Yuzhu a look.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at Li Lei and said, "You bought the defective cloth with your money. We bought it with our money and we can't take advantage of you."
Li Lei said speechlessly: "Just take it, don't grind it."
As he said that, he casually picked up the piece of light yellow cloth and another piece of blue cloth. Judging from the thickness, it could be used for two pieces of clothes. "I will go to Chen Yi's house later and leave one for him."
match."
Before leaving, he did not forget to explain: "Don't tell my family about this, they don't know anything about the food."
Jiang Xinyu nodded and packed a basket of chestnuts for him, "Brother Li San, thank you very much. You can take these chestnuts back and eat them. Don't forget to bring me the basin back."
Chen Xiuyun has almost given away chestnuts, and there is not much left at home.
Li Lei waved to the two of them and left with the basin on his back.
Jiang Xinyu touched Jiang Yuzhu's shoulder and asked, "Will you and Brother Li San continue to develop?"
Jiang Yuzhu soaked the pig's trotters and prepared to shave them. She said: "He and I have made it clear a long time ago. I saw him accompanying a lesbian to buy books in the bookstore last time. I guess it won't be long before he
We’re about to get married.”
Jiang Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief that Li Lei could interact with her as if nothing had happened.
"What about Zhou Qi? You didn't reply to him?"
Zhou Qi also went all the way to send her letters and food, which seemed to be quite serious.
Jiang Yuzhu nodded and said, "I replied to him and put ten dollars in the letter, asking him not to send anything or letters in the future."
It's not that she was unhappy that Zhou Qi still remembered her, but it was just limited to this. She knew that there should be no future between the two of them, and this clear understanding extinguished all her expectations.
Jiang Xinyu didn't know what to say. Jiang Yuzhu had blocked Zhou Qi's road.
Today not only Jiang Xinyu came back with pig trotters, but Jiang Yuzhu also brought back half a rooster and a pound of moon cakes.
The chickens at the county food station are sold by the pound. You can buy them whole or in half, and they are all slaughtered. As for the mooncakes, they are a bonus for your hair. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
The two sisters talked and processed the ingredients to prepare dinner before Chen Xiuyun came back from the fields.
There was no class in primary school this afternoon, and the teachers took the pupils to work.
Jiang Xinyu was glad that she was in a town. Although middle school still had to work every week, the work was not as much as when she was in high school. It was not like the primary school students in the team. When the team was busy with farming, the primary school students also had to be busy.
However, Song Guifang said that last winter the teachers in the commune went to dig ditches, and some young female teachers could not stand it until they cried.
Jiang Xinyu only hopes that her vacation will be easier this year.
When Chen Xiuyun saw that both her daughters had come back from buying meat, she shook her head in admiration. Why are they both so greedy?
Seeing the two pieces of cloth, Chen Xiuyun inevitably asked a few questions. After learning the inside story, Chen Xiuyun nodded and said, "It's getting cold, so I can make a coat for you two."
Jiang Xinyu never ate meat in the school meals. When there was tofu, it was considered good. She ate the most cabbage and carrots, but she also ate white flour steamed buns a few times.
Jiang Xinyu stewed chicken with chestnuts, which tasted very fragrant.
Jiang Xinyu is going to the county for further training tomorrow. After talking to Chen Xiuyun, Chen Xiuyun mentioned He Yong and Miao Yue and asked Jiang Xinyu to take the opportunity to visit them.
Her family didn't need anything from He Yong's family, and Chen Xiuyun didn't want to have a relationship with people in the city, but He Yong's family was open-minded, and the thank-you gifts they gave before were quite valuable. The big front door successfully helped Jiang Yuzhu get a job, otherwise they
It's not easy to get cigarette tickets either.
Relationships between people are created through interaction, and only by frequent exchanges can we keep in touch.
Since she was going to see He Yong, Jiang Xinyu simply made chestnut cakes with chestnuts and peanuts, and pressed them into beautiful shapes with molds, which looked like small mooncakes.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is only two days away, and there will be no classes next week. Students will have a farm break, and teachers like Jiang Xinyu will have to attend a meeting in the county to study for two days.
Jiang Xinyu did a lot and carried a pound to Chen Yi's family.
Early the next morning, after Jiang Xinyu ate last night's leftovers, Chen Xiuyun packed some cabbage, yams and red dates for her and asked her to bring them to He Yong's house when she visited him.
Jiang Xinyu got up early, so Chen Xiuyun didn't trust her to go alone, so he just rode her bicycle to the town.
