Chapter 35 Who Goes to Hell?
Unable to find useful information from these two big and small people, the villagers on the train soon stopped thinking about how to trick these three people.
The ox cart was also filled up quickly. The ox cart that Grandma Ji drove was still under the responsibility of Mr. Li. The journey from the village to the town was very calm. Although the weather was still very cold, everyone was in a very high mood.
The villagers who had a good relationship started chatting soon. The topic was mostly related to the resumption of classes in primary schools in this town.
Although Huading Village is not big, there are not many households in the village, the villagers have a special preference for scholars. Just looking at the treatment of the Qing Guards in the village, you can see that those with high education are more likely to be loved by those with lower education.
Luo Qiong listened to these people's conversations about the resumption of classes in the school, and subconsciously began to pay attention to Grandma Ji's expression. Whenever he saw Grandma Ji's expression loosening slightly, he wanted to block the mouths of these villagers.
When he finally arrived in the town, Luo Qiong couldn't wait to get out of the car, and did not forget to help Grandma Ji move the basket, saving the insignificant ones, and wanted to take the opportunity to lift the basket and look inside.
Luo Qiong has been in this world for half a year and knows very clearly that if the meat is seen by the villagers, it will inevitably cause trouble again. So when she went out, she specially found an isolation talisman and stuck it on two baskets, for fear that the smell would spread out.
"Grandma, let's go and catch the car." Luo Qiong whispered to Grandma Ji. Although they had left the ox cart, they still communicated quietly to prevent the conversation from being heard by others.
"Well, let's go." Grandma Ji's steps couldn't help but speed up.
Fortunately, the station in the town is a bit far from where they got off the ox cart and is not in the same direction as the gathering, otherwise they would be really worried that they would be discovered and went to the county town.
Until they got on the bus to the county town, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, Grandma Ji was really because she didn't meet the villagers, and Luo Qiong finally no longer remembered the conversation about resuming classes. Feng Baobao, he simply followed suit.
The bus was not fast, and because the weather was cold, all the windows were closed, which resulted in an indescribable strange smell in the whole car, forcing Luo Qiong to close without feeling, but Grandma Ji and Feng Baobao, who did not have this function, suffered a little.
Fortunately, after getting off the car, the two of them were not really spitted by the smell, otherwise they would be even more uncomfortable. However, Feng Baobao's spirit was also much weaker and he was not as energetic as when he first left the house early in the morning.
After leaving the station, Grandma Ji asked passers-by and then took her two children to the meeting place. That is, the meeting point is not very far from the station, otherwise the three of them would be really exhausted.
Looking at the passers-by who were walking in a hurry on the road, Luo Qiong held Feng Baobao's hand tightly. The atmosphere in the county was indeed much more tense than in the town and villages. Everyone had a secret expression on their faces.
Luo Qiong thought that the county town had always been like this, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable staying in the countryside, but he didn't know that the atmosphere was caused by a spy attack not long ago, so the investigation was relatively strict during this period.
If it were normal, although the atmosphere in the county was not very good, it was at least not like it is now. However, Luo Qiong couldn't know about all this.
The three of them found the place where the gathering was not long. From the outside, they looked like the vegetable market. It was no exaggeration to say that the crowds inside and the rushing outside were completely different worlds.
It can be seen that no matter how bad the situation is, food, clothing and consumption are always the primary needs of the people. Even if the family is not in good condition, they will never miss a rare gathering.
Grandma Ji carried a load and paid a stall fee with two small ones, and then picked up an free place to set up two baskets of wild boar meat. The stall was not a good location, so there was nothing we could do about it. Who told them to come here from the countryside? It was still a bit late.
Luo Qiong tear the isolation talisman apart first, and as Grandma Ji took off the curtain and lid, the aroma of pickling began to overflow. Grandma Ji was a little surprised why no one smelled it when she was on the ox cart.
However, someone soon came to ask about the price, and Grandma Ji threw the question aside. It was not that Grandma Ji was very enthusiastic. She really couldn't think of the isolation talisman. Another thing was that more and more people came to ask about the price of meat. Grandma Ji was busy greeting him, but she couldn't remember anything else.
As for why Grandma Ji and her stalls were located in a low position and came late, they were discovered by so many people. It was because of the scarcity of supplies in this era, and buying pork normally requires not only money, but also tickets.
At such gatherings, most goods do not need bills, so for ordinary people, they naturally cannot be missed, let alone pork.
Grandma Ji was loading money while weighing the scales. She was very busy, while Luo Qiong was taking Feng Baobao. The two of them squatted aside in a cute manner. Although the cold big stone was uncomfortable sitting, it was better than standing.
Customers who come to buy meat will involuntarily want to reach out and snore Luo Qiong and Feng Baobao's little heads, but Luo Qiong, who is an ancient auspicious beast, naturally does not want to be touched by mortals, so in the end, only Feng Baobao was so tearful that he could not refuse the enthusiasm of the adults.
"Sister Qiong~" Feng Baobao looked at Luo Qiong pitifully.
"Be good, sit well." If you don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Luo Qiong silently thought in his heart, doing business, making good fortune, and people will not lose their flesh if they touch it.
The cuteness failed, and Feng Baobao had to continue sitting here and let the guests touch their heads. What's even more annoying is that the two stall owners next door came to snore from time to time. Fortunately, the meat brought by Grandma Ji was sold out soon, and the three of them left in the middle stall owner's envious eyes.
The marinated wild boar meat was sold for a lot of money and exchanged for many useful notes. Although Luo Qiong also found some notes from the town last time, those were not enough for Grandma Ji.
So when I came to the rally, Grandma Ji planned to exchange wild boar meat for some useful bills from here, and she did gain a lot of money and received some of the bills.
However, Grandma Ji did not rush to take her two children to the state-owned store. Instead, she has been walking around the gathering and has changed a lot of useful supplies. Then she took her two children to the state-owned store in the county with satisfaction.
Although the three of them were dressed very well, Feng Baobao was surprised when he came out. The other two were wearing huge sums of money, so when they entered the state-owned store, they were very confident.
Especially Grandma Ji, who used to be scarce because she didn’t have any tickets, she made up all of them back this time, especially those such as soap insulation pots, which require special receipts to be qualified to purchase.
In the past, there were thermos pots at home in the town, but when Luo Qiong's parents were arrested, they were broken due to chaos, so they had never used thermos pots at home.
