Chen Lishu, who had been paying attention to his expression, stopped walking around in circles now, blocked it with her body and quickly stuffed the cigarette in her hand into the guard's pocket.
"Uncle, we don't want to hide it from you. We just want to buy some rags. You think you have a way to help us get it."
The guard was startled by her actions at first, but now he was happy when he found out it was a pack of cigarettes. He smiled at Chen Lishu and said, "You are such a clever girl, your feelings are just trying to trick me."
Chen Lishu smiled: "The situation forces me, I hope you can take more care of me."
"It's a cold day, you two go inside and warm yourself up by the stove. I'll let you know whether it's available or not."
Say the ugly things first, otherwise you will easily get blamed.
Zhang Qin looked at the guard who had left the door, and thought of Chen Lishu's operation just now. She looked at her as if she had just met him for the first time.
Soon the guard came back empty-handed.
Before Chen Lishu and Zhang Qin were disappointed, they said, "Go to the back of the factory in half an hour. There will be a small door there and someone will be waiting there. She will know when I mention my name."
Then the uncle said his name again. Chen Xiangfa.
When Chen Lishu heard that his surname was Chen, she immediately raised a smile and said, "I didn't expect that you and I are still the same family. I need you to take more care of me in the future."
When he just went out, he looked carefully and knew that the supply and marketing cooperative sold these cigarettes for 50 cents a pack. He usually only smoked cigarettes that cost 20 cents a pack.
Moreover, from the series of events from the meeting to the present, I also know in my heart that Chen Lishu is a safe and considerate girl. The impression is very good.
"Don't worry. I've specially said hello to my niece, and I'll give you some more big stuff." Chen Xiang smiled and said with narrowed eyes.
Half an hour passed in a flash. Chen Lishu and Zhang Qin followed Chen Xiangfa's instructions and looked for the back door. Sure enough, they saw a woman in her twenties wearing work clothes standing at the door and looking out. There was a large nylon bag at her feet.
Chen Lishu took two quick steps and reported Chen Xiangfa's name. The woman then kicked the bag at her feet and said, "They are sold by the pound. It's a dime per pound. How much do you want?"
"Can I check the quality?" Although it is cheap, she is not sure whether it can be used, so Chen Lishu wants to check the situation first.
"Hurry up, I can't leave for too long." The woman looked a little anxious.
Chen Lishu nodded and stretched out her hand to open the mouth of the nylon bag. Most of the contents were rags no bigger than a palm and two fingers wide. Occasionally, you could see a few large pieces of cloth that were almost as long as an arm. She was very happy to know that Chen Xiangfa had not lied to herself.
.
"Comrade, I want all of these."
The woman's name was Liu Xiaoting. She was startled when she heard her words: "These are almost fifty pounds, do you want them all?"
Chen Lishu nodded and happily took out five yuan. Seeing Liu Xiaoting asking for change, she quickly stopped her.
"I see there is still a large piece of cloth here. If you have to trouble Sister Liu in the future, I'll just treat you to candy, Sister Liu."
Although thirty-fifty cents was nothing to her as a garment factory employee, Liu Xiaoting was still very happy to see that she was going to do something.
"Okay, next time you need it, go to the guard and see my uncle. I will definitely leave some good ones for you."
After thanking Liu Xiaoting again and again, seeing the person leaving, the two sisters carried the bag and walked back.
Zhang Qin had more or less adapted to it by now. Holding the bag, she only had deep admiration for Chen Lishu in her heart.
She had just seen it. The fabric was called cloth head in the city, but it was a great thing in the countryside.
When passing by the supply and marketing store, Chen Lishu went in and bought two meters of rubber bands. She spent a total of fifty cents.
Because I wasn’t sure how the business would be, I didn’t buy much.
"I'll get on the carriage soon. What if someone asks me?" Zhang Qin suddenly became nervous as he was about to arrive.
"Let's tie our mouths tightly and tell anyone who asks us that they are gifts from relatives and are unnecessary tatters."
"Then what if they ask about a relative?" We all live in the same village, so we basically know who has which relative.
"Let's talk about the distant relatives of the second sister-in-law." Chen Lishu thought for a while and replied.
She and Zhang Qin are both from the same village. Unlike Liu Yuemin, her natal family is a bit far away from Qingshan Village. No one knows about it.
Sure enough, most of the people in the car came back, except for their sisters-in-law. Seeing that they were carrying a big bag, they all came over to inquire about the situation. Zhang Qin didn't know how to lie, and blushed before she could speak. Chen Lishu dismissed them one by one with a smile.
.
"How come I don't know which of Yue Min's relatives are there?" Widow Liu looked at the bulging bag with a cat-like heart, scratching her head with curiosity. She seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness of the morning, and came over to continue to inquire.
"Aunt Liu, are you checking the household registration?" Chen Lishu said with a cold face.
"Bah! All the junk stuff is being dumped home, looking like a poor person!"
Chen Lishu didn't want to pay attention to her, pulled her scarf, and began to close her eyes to rest.
Soon, the carriage finally arrived at the entrance of the village before it got completely dark. After saying hello to the acquaintances, the two sisters took their things and went home.
As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, Widow Liu who had been following her wanted to come in, but Chen Lishu quickly closed the courtyard door with quick eyes and hands: "It's getting dark, Aunt Liu, go home and cook."
"I'm not in a hurry when I cook."
Chen Lishu locked the courtyard door with a click: "My family is in a hurry." After saying that, she raised her feet and left.
"What's so arrogant about you damn girl? You didn't pay for it with money from the Gu family. Maybe you did something shameful..."
Before she finished speaking, Chen Lishu, who was about to enter the door, suddenly bent down, straightened up again, and suddenly turned back. Widow Liu felt a white shadow fly towards her quickly, and before she could react, a snowball hit her nose.
.Xueqiu squeezed it so hard that she immediately cried out "Oh my God" in pain.
Li Xiulan, who was waiting anxiously in the house, heard the voice and came out. When she saw the two daughters-in-law packing so many things, she was surprised: "What did you buy?"
Chen Lishu quickly shushed her, fearing that Widow Liu would not leave, so she whispered: "Mom, let's go back to the house and talk."
When Li Xiulan saw that something was going on, she stopped asking and quickly invited the two of them into the house for dinner.
Having not eaten since early in the morning, Chen Lishu and Zhang Qin couldn't help but smell the aroma of rice.
"Sister-in-law, third brother and sister, what did you buy?" Finally holding back her curiosity, after finishing the meal and cleaning up, Liu Yuemin was the first to come over.
Other people also looked over curiously.
Chen Lishu stood up and opened the nylon bag, revealing the rags inside.
"My mother, where did you get these old pieces of cloth?" Liu Yuemin said, reaching out and pulling at them twice, and she saw several large pieces of cloth. If nothing else, they can definitely be made by Gu Lin and Gu Ming.
A suit of clothes.
"Third sister-in-law, where did you get so many pieces of cloth?" Gu Xingping's eyes widened when she looked at the few small pieces of cloth in the bag.
