Huang Yuzhu refused several times, and finally accepted the money after everyone's repeated persuasion.
"Okay, don't have any psychological burden," Bai Lu patted Huang Yuzhu's back. "You also know that our family has made a lot of money selling pigs. I also think that giving you half of the money from selling chickens is too little.
Well, after all, we were the ones who chopped pig grass together when raising pigs..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huang Yuzhu said hurriedly: "That's enough! This is nearly thirty yuan. In the past, Ayun's father's salary was only twelve yuan a month. Now we, mother and son, are eating and drinking at your house for free."
Without paying, I..."
"I already told you that you don't eat and drink for free! Anyway, you can just keep the money in peace."
At this point, Bai Lu also mentioned the need to buy fabric for Jiang Yun to make trousers, "His trousers are so tight that it is inconvenient to do anything. How uncomfortable is it to wear them? I should have made a new set of clothes for the New Year, and I am the one who made them."
I didn’t think carefully enough, I was so busy preparing some food and drink that I even forgot to buy fabrics.”
"It's my problem," Su Jianmin said, "I planned to give you the money on the day I sold the chicken, but I didn't want to forget..."
Before his father could finish speaking, Jinbao laughed and said: "Okay, don't take the responsibility on yourselves. Anyway, brother Ayun's pants are torn. He must have bought some fabrics. Mom, think about what else you can do."
Want to buy something?
It's getting late, we have to deliver things to Third Brother and go to the market."
"Let's buy a hoe for weeding. The one we used before is a bit broken and it's hard to use. It's spring after the Spring Festival. We need to weed and plow the yard and plant vegetables again." Bai Lu said.
"Okay, I'll buy a better hoe and bring it back!" Su Jianmin nodded.
After hearing his wife say a few more things she wanted to buy, he asked Xiaosi and Xiaowu if they were going to the market.
"I'm not going," Su Xiaosi said, "Xiao Wu and I want to take the meat buns up the mountain to see if there are any wild fruits to pick..."
"Okay, then be careful, don't go too far in, or you might get lost."
Huang Yuzhu gave Su Jianmin a note of ten yuan, "Please help me go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy three feet of cloth. I want to make two pairs of pants for Ayun so that he can wear them interchangeably."
"Aunt Huang, three feet of cloth only costs one dollar and sixty-five cents. You don't need to give my father ten dollars."
As soon as Jin Bao finished speaking, Su Nanbing laughed and said, "Jin Bao, how come you remember the price of fabrics so clearly?"
"Hehe, because many people went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fabrics years ago. I heard the saleswoman say it several times. Of course I remember it. And she also said that there was a special offer for farmers during the New Year. Three feet of fabric only cost one foot.
It’s a cloth ticket.”
Bai Lu was surprised, "There is such a good thing," and then said anxiously: "Jianmin, let's buy three feet of cloth too? No, just buy six feet. I want to make a new set for Jinbao and Nanbing each."
clothing.
In the autumn, I made clothes for Xiaosi, Xiaowu and Wennian, so I don’t need to make them for the time being."
"Mom, you also made my clothes," Jinbao said, "I don't need them anymore. Just make a new set of clothes for my second brother."
"What new clothes should I wear?" Su Nanbing waved his hand, "I wear clothes issued by the army most of the time, so how can I have the chance to wear casual clothes? Mom, please don't waste your cloth money on making clothes for me."
"Isn't this an event? You only need one foot of cloth ticket to buy three feet of cloth. How cost-effective it is? Besides..."
Bai Lu walked up to her second son and whispered: "Your father and I discussed it before and planned to find a matchmaker to help introduce you to a few girls on a blind date. You can't always wear army clothes, right?"
"Mom, are you serious?"
"It's just a meeting. If two people don't see eye to eye, there's no loss, right?"
After saying that, she was worried that Nan Bing would object, so Bai Lu patted his arm gently and said, "Okay, okay, we'll talk about the blind date later. You guys go to the town to go to the market."
Su Jianmin glanced at the time and said, "I really have to leave."
They walked out of the house and were about to get on the mule cart when a "Uncle Su" sounded not far away.
Hua Wenli pulled Xie Shuting and ran in their direction, "Uncle Su, are you going to town? Phew..."
"Yeah?" Su Jianmin asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to go to the market?"
Hua Wenli gasped, covered her chest, nodded and said, "Yes! Can you take me and Shuting with you?"
Captain Luo and we asked for leave and wanted to go to the market to buy something. No one from the production team is going to the market today and they can't take us there, so we can only trouble you. If there is enough space, can you give us a lift?"
"Okay, come on up." Su Jianmin said.
At this time, Sunan Bing was already sitting on the back of the mule cart with Jin Bao in his arms.
Xie Shuting did not expect that Su Nanbing would be in the car, and her body suddenly stiffened.
"What's wrong?" Hua Wenli saw Xie Shuting standing there stupidly and didn't respond, so she gently tugged on her hand.
"I, I suddenly don't want to go again," Xie Shuting subconsciously took a step back and said with an embarrassed look, "Wen Li, how about we go to town next time? Maybe someone from the production team will drive a carriage tomorrow.
, so as not to trouble Uncle Su."
"Ah?" Hua Wenli lowered her voice, "We can't delay this kind of thing..."
Both of them had a blush on their faces.
Jinbao's ears stood up sharply when he heard Sister Wenli whisper: "Didn't you say that all the things you brought have been used up? That day is coming soon, and I have none. If no one from the production team drives to town tomorrow,
Come on, what should we do?"
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a long time, and finally understood.
The thing Sister Wenli mentioned is the one that girls use every month?
She had seen that thing at a supply and marketing cooperative before. The pink packaging box said "sanitary belt".
At that time, her fourth brother pulled her and asked curiously: "Jinbao, what is that? Is it a box for candy?"
Before Jin Bao could say anything, her father hit her fourth brother on the head and lowered his voice to teach him a lesson: "Those are women's products. Don't look at them and point them at them. Others will see them and think you are some kind of pervert."
Thinking of this incident, Jinbao still found it funny.
Strange! Since we have run out of sanitary napkins and are in a hurry to buy them, why is Xie Shuting suddenly reluctant to go? It feels like she is acting a little weird today, and it is different from the way she felt on New Year's Eve.
How should I put it? It was just not as frank as that day, as if something happened that was hard for her to talk about.
Xie Shuting doesn't know how to hide her emotions at all. The four words "worried" are written all over her face, which can be seen through at a glance.
"Do you want to go or not?" Sun Nanbing said impatiently, "We can't keep waiting for you."
His words inexplicably irritated Xie Shuting, and she thought angrily that she was the only one who felt embarrassed, tossing and turning like a fool and couldn't sleep well. This Su Nanbing was just like a normal person, ah! What a nuisance!
