Jiang Xinyu didn't take the movie seriously. She took a bucket and went to the private plot to water the vegetables. It has become a habit to come back every week to see the sprouts.
"Comrade, are you from the Wuliqiao Brigade?"
A middle-aged male voice sounded not far away. Jiang Xinyu looked around to confirm that this man was talking to her.
This middle-aged man was wearing a decent black tunic suit, a hat of the same color on his head, and a cigarette in his mouth. He looked to be in his forties.
"Yes, comrade, are you okay?"
Fang Shibin didn't expect to see such a pretty young girl in this remote rural area, with no trace of rusticity about her body.
"Are there any wild beasts in the mountains behind you?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "Wild boars have run down before and injured people, but this has not happened in the past two years."
"Comrade, are you here to make a movie?"
Fang Shibin smiled and acquiesced, smoking a cigarette in his mouth and coming closer, "Have you ever been to school? What grade did you go to?"
Jiang Xinyu bent down to water the pepper seedlings, "I am in my second year of high school and will graduate this semester."
Jiang Xinyu watered each seedling.
Fang Shibin was a little surprised. There were not many girls in rural areas who went to high school.
He looked at Jiang Xinyu and felt that although the girl was dressed plainly, she looked different from the girls in the countryside and was more beautiful than the actresses in his movies.
"Are you interested in playing a role in my movie?" Fang Shibin said as if he was joking.
Jiang Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I can't perform, and I'm not professional. I appreciate your kindness, but I'm definitely not suitable."
"Are you okay? If nothing happens, I'm going home."
Fang Shibin said: "Where is your captain's home? I want to talk about something."
Jiang Xinyu took him to Captain Li's house with a bucket.
The captain's wife was wandering around the yard holding her granddaughter. When she saw her, she said, "Is something wrong with Xinyu?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "This comrade wanted to find Uncle Li, so I brought him here."
The eldest daughter-in-law welcomed Fang Shibin, who was well-dressed and looked like a cultured person.
Jiang Xinyu put this incident behind her when she returned home. Comrade Chen Xiuyun had just returned from the team's elementary school.
"Should we move now or tomorrow morning?"
The house in the new yard is almost drying out, and someone from Lao Lin's family also came to the door once to remind them.
Although Old Mrs. Li is no longer a demon, Chen Xiuyun still doesn't want to live next to her. This old lady is no longer a demon, but she will stare at her house from time to time. Whatever she does, she will be watched. Stay away if you can. Good.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Let's move it tomorrow morning."
She doesn't have to go to work when she moves. She's really smart.
Chen Xiuyun shook his head, "We still have to move now. We have to go to work tomorrow, so we can't delay it?"
Jiang Xinyu: "..."! Then why are you asking us?
"Most people are still working, and I can't find anyone even if I try to find them," Jiang Xinyu muttered.
Chen Xiuyun said: "I'm going to borrow a wheelbarrow and we can carry it ourselves first."
The two sisters packed up their bedding, put the odds and ends of the house into baskets, and put all the soap in sacks. They waited for the wheelbarrow to arrive and put it on the wheelbarrow.
Jiang Yuzhu and Chen Xiuyun pushed the wheelbarrow to the new yard together and put away all the things they brought there.
When the people from Lao Lin's family saw Chen Xiuyun moving, they came over to help without saying a word.
The little piglets in the pig pen have grown up a lot, and Aunt Lin helped drive the pigs over with a stick.
The piglet was disobedient and ran home. Aunt Lin couldn't stop it, so Chen Xiuyun said, "Let Xinyu go."
Jiang Xinyu took the wooden stick and drove the pig away. She also carried a cage with two rabbits in her left hand. Xiao Hei followed happily at her feet.
The little pig still gave her a lot of face, after all, she usually fed it a lot.
On the road between the houses in the brigade, Jiang Xinyu was carrying a rabbit cage and driving the pigs towards the east end of the village.
When Chen Yi rode his bicycle to the entrance of the village, he saw this scene. Not to mention, it looked quite funny.
"What about moving?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded and led the pig boy into the pig pen in the new yard.
Xiao Hei circled around Chen Yi's bicycle.
"Come on, I'll take you back and help you pull something by the way."
It took more than an hour to move everything before everything was moved. Except for the pig manure still left in the yard, everything else was moved away.
It was already dark, and it was time for Chen Yi to go home for dinner.
Before leaving, he said: "Aunt, the location of the black market has changed. It is now in the road behind the meat factory."
The black market was taken down last time. No matter how stupid you are, you can't be caught in the same place for the second time. There is a large forest belt behind the meat factory. You can easily run away if you want to, but similarly, no one who knows about it for the time being.
If there are too many, selling things will definitely not be as smooth as before.
Chen Yi wanted to help Jiang Xinyu's family, but Chen Xiuyun would definitely not agree, so he just thought about it and let it go.
After Chen Yi left, Chen Xiuyun cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge on the new stove and heated up the leftover wild vegetable pancakes from lunch. The mother and daughter had a simple meal.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Mom, you teach students and work on Saturdays and Sundays. How can you have time to go to the black market?"
Chen Xiuyun looked at her warily, and then heard Jiang Xinyu say: "Why don't I go."
"If I go early, I can still ask Chen Yi to see me off."
Jiang Xinyu just doesn’t want to work, work and do business secretly. She wants to do business secretly! She doesn’t want to be unable to stand upright waving a hoe in the field!
Chen Xiuyun still had lingering fears about being almost caught last time. No matter how beautiful Jiang Xinyu's thoughts were or what she said, Chen Xiuyun would never agree.
"I'll go take a look tomorrow morning. Just stay at home, wash the sheets, quilts and clothes, fill up the water tanks, and then go to the private plot to water it again."
Before Jiang Xinyu could resist, Chen Xiuyun said, "Okay, go to bed."
Jiang Yuzhu was pasting newspapers on the wall beside her bed, covering both half of the wall.
As a primary school teacher, Chen Xiuyun was able to bring back many newspapers she had read, firstly to use them as toilet paper, and secondly to stick them on the wall.
We have a new house. Although it is still an adobe house, it is still new. The ground is also paved with a layer of red bricks. It looks much better than before.
There are three rooms in a row, one main room and two back rooms for sleeping. There are three rooms in the courtyard, two with doors, a kitchen and a sleeping room, and the third one has no door, no roof, and no warmth.
Just pile some debris, it will be cool in summer, and it will only waste time and money to build it.
Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu lived separately after they moved to the new yard. They lived in a room each, and she was in the hospital. Jiang Yuzhu put up her own walls and also helped Jiang Xinyu put them up.
After finishing her work, Jiang Xinyu scrubbed her body with hot water again. A week without taking a shower was her limit.
Chen Xiuyun got up before dawn the next day and went to town.
The good thing about the courtyard being at the entrance of the village is that you don't have to pass by the people in the team when you go out early in the morning. No one will know if you go out early in the morning, and you won't be questioned about anything, which is very convenient.
Chen Xiuyun brought only thirty pieces of soap. She felt that thirty pieces of soap were too much, and she might not be able to sell them all today. After all, she didn’t know what was going on in the black market, so she didn’t know what was going on, so she brought less. Around the house
Later, I saved more than 500 bars of soap.
She used the soap, which was strong enough for washing clothes. Even though her hands would be a little oily after washing, it was still moisturizing. However, compared to the soaps sold for 37 cents a piece at supply and marketing cooperatives, hers
It’s definitely high quality and reasonably priced!
