The air-dried salted chicken and cured duck gave off a fragrant smell after being exposed to the sun. Jiang Jiayi knew what it was as soon as she smelled it, and her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she quickly hid the cloth bag under the counter, and then gave Song Xi the oil paper bag and the transparent packaging bag.
Jiang Jiayi whispered to Song Xi, "It's the Chinese New Year now and all the defective products have been snatched up. Wait until March 1st. Come early and I will take you to the warehouse to pick out the defective products."
Song Xi's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, comrade."
The defective products of the supply and marketing cooperative are internally digested by employees and familiar people, and outsiders have no chance at all.
Although Song Xi has no use for defective products, she is willing to establish a good relationship with the salesperson so that she can know more things in the future.
Song Xi paid the money, took her things, waved to the salesperson, turned and left.
The reason why I chose to make friends with this saleswoman is because she is not arrogant to country people. She almost always responds to the requests of people who come to buy things, and her service attitude is very good.
It's not like some salespersons, who look at someone's dirty or torn clothes and tell them that their nose is not their nose and their eyes are not their eyes.
After being delayed for so long in the commune today, it was obviously too late to go to the Song family's village, so Song Xi went directly back to Ping'an Village.
Early the next morning, Song Xi set out for the production team where the Song family was located.
On the way to the supermarket, she dressed up like a fifty-year-old rural woman. She rode a bicycle in flat places and walked in rugged places.
It took more than three hours to get there. If we just walked, it would take six or seven hours to get there from Ping'an Village.
The reason why the Song family pushed Song Xi into the mountains so far away was because they didn't want Song Xi to have an easy time. They never thought that Song Xi's life now was as happy as a fairy.
According to the memory of the original owner, Song Xi came to a courtyard door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon there were footsteps inside, and after a while, the courtyard door opened, and an aunt in her fifties appeared in front of Song Xi.
This is the aunt who gave the original owner two wild vegetable dumplings before when he was very hungry.
The aunt looked at Song Xi, who was in her forties, and raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Sister, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, big sister, I am Song Xi's teacher in your village. My name is Lan Yun. I came here specifically to see you today." Song Xi subconsciously looked both ways, and then whispered, "Big sister
Sister, I have something to ask you, can you let me go in and talk? It’s not good to be seen by others.”
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, look at my brain, I forgot such an important thing." The aunt patted her forehead and hurriedly called Song Xi to come in.
Then he stuck his head out and looked both ways. He saw no one, so he felt relieved.
"Sister, are you really Song Xi's teacher?" The aunt came to Song Xi and asked uncertainly.
"Yes! Although the eldest sister doesn't know me, I do know the eldest sister. Song Xi told me before that there was an aunt in the village who gave her two wild vegetable dumplings to save her when she was about to starve to death.
She lost her life, and she said she would repay her aunt when she grows up!"
Song Xi, led by her aunt, came to the main room and sat down. The aunt asked her daughter-in-law to make a bowl of sugar water.
In this era, sugar water is the highest courtesy for hospitality. Rural people have an inexplicable respect for teachers, so even if they are not their own teachers, as long as they hear that they are teachers, they will have special respect.
After hearing Song Xi's words, the aunt rubbed her hands in embarrassment, "We have so many children that we can't even take care of ourselves, so we can't help Song Xi. I didn't expect that just two wild vegetable dumplings could make Song Xi happy."
I hope I will never forget it.”
"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help when the time is right. Even if it's wild vegetable dumplings, not everyone is willing to take them out. Big sister is kind-hearted and will definitely be blessed in the future." Song Xi said, bending down to take it from the basket on her back.
I brought out a bunch of things, ten pounds of fresh wild boar, eight pounds of pork bones, and five pieces of smoked bacon that was heavy and fat.
She brought out five kilograms each of the apples, winter dates, and water chestnuts she encountered at the market. She also took out two two-kilogram fish weighing two kilograms from the fish she had brought up from the river.
Two pounds each of white sugar, brown sugar, melon seeds, fruit candies, chocolate lollipops, and salt. There are a total of twenty sets of old clothes and twenty pairs of old shoes.
There are two cans of rapeseed oil and one can of other seasonings.
Seeing Song Xi placing so many things on the square dining table, the aunt and her family all opened their eyes in shock. The aunt couldn't believe it and her voice trembled, "Sister, what are you..."
Song Xi stood up and reached out to hold her aunt's hand. Her eye circles were slightly red, "Song Xi's child has a hard life. She didn't go to high school to report. Later, I asked someone to inquire about her and found out that she...she was actually...
My family 'married' to the deep mountains and old forests. It is said... that day she fell down the mountain and died. Song Xi also helped me, so I am here today to thank my eldest sister and her family on her behalf. I hope that eldest sister
Please don't refuse my kindness, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Song Xi if I see her in the future!"
"What?" The aunt took a trembling step back, and then her lips trembled a little, "Then the Song family really treated Song Xi like this?"
"No wonder I haven't seen Song Xi for such a long time. That's it." After hearing this, one of my aunt's daughters-in-law whispered beside her.
Although she doesn't like Song Xi very much, after all, her family has a large population and life is difficult, but she still feels sorry for Song Xi. It is really difficult to survive under the hands of the Song family.
"The Song family is so inhumane. They have always treated Song Xi like an old scalper, and now... they really won't stop until they squeeze out the last drop of Song Xi's blood." The aunt was furious.
She used to think that Song Xi broke away from the shackles of the Song family when she went to high school and did not come back. She was also happy for Song Xi in her heart. Who would have thought that Song Xi gave up her life to the Song family in the end.
The Song family is too ungrateful, and we must not let the Song family have an easy time.
Another daughter-in-law of my aunt suddenly said, "Some time ago, Song Xi's cousin Song Xiuxiu was suddenly picked up by a military jeep. She has not come back until now. She has probably gone to the city to live a better life."
Hearing this, Song Xi frowned subconsciously. The original owner's vicious cousin Song Xiuxiu was picked up by a military jeep?
When did the Song family have the ability to contact the upper class?
What secrets are there that neither the original owner nor she knows about?
However, she will not pursue the so-called truth, because everything has nothing to do with her. She just wants to live a quiet and low-key life.
