Everything here has been packed up and loaded into the car. I also took the rest of the food with me.
Tan Shaoting doesn't care. It was originally given to them. It would be better for them to take it away.
This way you won't owe any favors. Favor debts are the hardest to repay.
We didn't officially set off until three o'clock. Su Yuanyuan didn't drive the car. When Bai Linsheng arrived, she just sat in the back.
This makes it easier to get out of the car and walk around when it gets cold.
At eight o'clock in the morning they stopped and made a fire. Everyone and the animals had to drink water.
Tan Shaoting handed Su Yuanyuan a bowl of hot water. "You drink first."
Su Yuanyuan held the bowl and drank in no hurry.
Her five senses were strong and she felt three kinds of malice.
I laughed in my heart, I was taking the blame. But my partner also admitted it.
Tan Shaoting took out a piece of peach cake from his bag and handed it directly to Su Yuanyuan's mouth, "Eat some, even if it doesn't taste good."
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Tan Shaoting, took a bite without any politeness, and then took a sip of hot water.
Tan Shaoting was still smiling and feeding Su Yuanyuan. It wasn't until a piece of peach cake fell that he took the bowl from Su Yuanyuan's hand and went to drink water himself.
Su Yuanyuan was now thinking about the scene where the female counterpart who had a crush on the male protagonist came to cause trouble, but it didn't happen. Su Yuanyuan was quite disappointed.
After resting for about an hour, we set off again.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that we arrived at Bai's house.
"Uncle Bai, the two of us went to buy coal, and then we went back."
"No, you guys have a night's rest."
Tan Shaoting immediately shook his head when he thought about sleeping on the same kang as his family.
"Uncle Bai, no, there are still sheep at home. Besides, the two of us can go back slowly."
It's a joke, I don't want to sleep on the same kang with so many people again.
After refusing for a while, the two of them left.
When you arrive at the coal yard, you still need a ticket to buy coal. It’s different from before.
The two of them also had coal stamps in their hands, but not many, so this was not enough.
Tan Shaoting passed by for a while and came back with a cart full of briquettes and coal.
By the time the two of them set off, it was already past seven o'clock.
"How about we find a place to rest. Is the little donkey too tired?"
Tan Shaoting had no choice but to reject Bai Linsheng. It would be unjustifiable if he still lived in the city.
"Let's go and give the donkey some spiritual spring water." There was no other way.
In this way, the two of them didn't get home until dawn the next day.
The two of them also drank Lingquan water on the way and didn't feel too tired.
After all the coal was collected, the two men returned the donkey to the house where Tan Shaoting used to live.
Su Yuanyuan was not stingy and cooked cornmeal for them. This was considered an improvement for them.
As soon as I got home, Ma Changshun came over.
"I heard that you two came back and I still didn't believe it."
"Team Leader Ma, we arrived the day before yesterday."
Tan Shaoting greeted Ma Changshun into the room. "Team Leader Ma, look, this is the fertilizer approval slip we got from the leader."
The two of them have already discussed it, and they still have to talk about the donation, mainly to reduce trouble.
These days, if you have a lot of money in your hands, how can you keep others from being tempted?
So it's easy to say that there is no money in hand. The two of them have nothing worth worrying about.
Ma Changshun took it and looked at it. "With the approval slip, why didn't we get fertilizer?"
At this time, Su Yuanyuan brought in a bowl of brown sugar water for Ma Changshun, which was the highest level of hospitality nowadays. She gave Tan Shaoting a bowl of boiled water.
Tan Shaoting took the hot water and held it in his hand: "Team Leader Ma, we just happened to catch up with the leader to collect supplies and go to the border. So we both donated money, and we also went to a foreign country to help collect food."
Ma Changshun looked at Tan Shaoting and asked, "Did you donate them all?"
"Yes, plus the money I spent last year, the two of us donated 6,000 yuan in food."
Ma Changshun clicked his tongue and said, "Six thousand yuan of food?"
"Well, the price of food purchased there is even lower than the price of food here."
"How could I give you an approval note?
Can't we afford the fertilizer?" Ma Changshun had selfish motives, thinking that since the two of them had money, when they got the fertilizer, they would borrow some first. But now they have nothing.
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Yeah, I don't have the money to buy it, but even if I buy it, I probably won't use it next year. I have read the newspaper. If this fertilizer is used, it must be hydrated.
Team Leader Ma, you have rich experience. Do you think we can plant it on the ground this year?"
Ma Changshun sighed, "Now there are five or six families in our second farm who have no water to eat. It is estimated that the well drilling team will definitely come in the spring. Leave everything else aside. People can't live without water."
Forget it, if we don’t have chemical fertilizer this year, we won’t have it. Even if we have it, we may not be able to use it.”
"Captain Ma, drink some water."
Even if he eats meat for Ma Changshun, he doesn't feel it tastes good anymore. So he shakes his head and says, "I'm going back. You two, please stay well? You've been away for so long and you haven't celebrated the New Year at home."
The two of them sent Ma Changshun out together, and then they went outside to collect firewood with a rake. This was done for others to see, although no one might see it.
Now they feel more at ease. The two of them just read and practice at home every day, and Su Yuanyuan also makes clothes and shoes.
After the first lunar month, on the second day of the second lunar month, the day when the dragon raised his head, the two of them ate sticky bean buns. They made them by themselves. The sticky rice noodles were the sticky sorghum noodles that Hu Chunhua had given them before, and the bean fillings were cooked by themselves.
One bowl of cabbage and egg soup per person, this lunch is quite hearty.
The two of them should eat and drink. Anyway, that's it.
"Let's grind cornmeal today." The animals have nothing to eat.
"I can do it myself, and you can continue making shoes."
"The two of us are fast, so let's go together. It'll be fine if we finish it early."
A few days later, the two of them were reading in the house and heard something going on outside.
Su Yuanyuan glanced at it unconsciously and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"How many brothers and sisters came from my hometown?" Why did they come here? And there are still five brothers and sisters? Could it be that all Zhao Tian's family came here?
"bad relationship?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "It's okay, their family is sensible."
After saying that, he already went to the ground. Tan Shaoting also followed.
Zhao Yanli and the others were frightened as they followed Ma Changshun.
What they have seen is the village and the land of ten miles and eight villages, but there is no comparison with this place. Looking over it, they can't see the edge at all.
Ma Changshun introduced them to them as he walked.
To be honest, in the past, he would have driven the donkey cart. But now there is no food for the donkeys to eat, so we can't let the donkeys get too tired. Besides, there are too many of them, so it is best to come here.
