The work at hand lasted all morning. Zhou Wenzhong looked at the pile of sacks under the operating table and was speechless. These sacks contained some dark brown "wooden" products, which were not even as good as corn cobs. This was
The higher-level units rushed to deliver "coarse grains" to the grain station last night. They claimed that they fully met the food standards.
Zhang Xiufang came over and said: "All the grain you want has been bought and packed. This is your family's grain purchase book. The grain you bought is placed on the table in the yard. According to regulations, grain cannot be brought in.
Come on, otherwise, once a problem occurs, it will not be clear here."
"thanks, thanks……"
Zhou Wenzhong quickly ran out of the grain depot, picked up the cloth bag and checked it. It was full of serious grain. When no one was paying attention, he put the cloth bag in the space, drank a bowl of water, and returned to the grain store.
Curry.
"Er Bao, go and pull another cart of corn cobs."
"I really can't do it anymore. Let me take a break. I didn't bring any food for lunch today. I don't know how I'm going to survive the afternoon. I won't go if I don't."
"Thank you for your hard work, I will pull one more car this afternoon."
"Brother Zhong, that's not what I meant. Alas... Okay, it's the last car!"
"Well, the last car. Let's go."
Ma Erbao pulled the cart away. Zhou Wenzhong stood in front of the sack and used the space to pour out the stick noodles and white noodles. At the same time, he put the bark powder in the sack on the ground into his cloth pocket, and finally put the bark powder in the other bag.
Brown rice also fell into the space, stretching out its evil hand towards the sacks of rice bran and rice husk.
I looked around and saw that everyone was busy with the little work they were doing, and no one paid attention to me. I ran to the floor scale in two steps and put my cloth bag on the scale. I had just loaded 8 kilograms of bark powder.
He took out a small handful of brown rice from the space and stuffed it into his cloth pocket.
"Perfect! Just eat as much as you can. The chlorine in it is twice as much as corn, and the lysine is three times as much as corn. They are all nutritious substances. Don't say that your sons are unfilial to you. This is good.
I don’t even want to eat it myself.”
Until 12:30 noon, the last crusher in the grain depot turned off the switch, and the entire grain depot became completely silent.
Everyone was beating their shoulders or twisting their waists as they walked out of the grain depot. Ma Erbao was holding a water bowl and watching the others eat. Zhou Wenzhong was so excited that he squatted down in front of Zhang Xiufang and watched her eat.
Either she was a girl and she was thin-skinned. As soon as Zhou Wenzhong ran over and knelt down, Zhang Xiufang got up and ran away with her lunch box, and Zhou Wenzhong chased after her. After two repetitions, Zhang Xiufang gave up struggling tiredly.
"What are you going to do again?"
"Hehe... lend me some..."
"No money!"
"Look! What do you think of me? I don't lend money in vain, I have something to pledge to you. If I can't pay you back within the stipulated period, I will give you this thing."
"What can you bring out? I don't want rags."
"Look at this."
Zhou Wenzhong took out the small mirror where he signed in and handed it to Zhang Xiufang.
"This is a souvenir brought back to me from an old friend I made in Guilin. Take a look at it, do you like it?"
The moment Zhang Xiufang saw the mirror, she was attracted. She gently put down her lunch box, took the small mirror and wiped it with her sleeves. After opening the mirror, she stretched her neck and twisted around.
"It's so stinky."
"What did you say?"
"I said, this mirror suits you really well."
"Yeah?"
"Well, I never lie to you. Don't you understand me? I only tell the truth. If you like it, don't worry about money. Just take the mirror home and play with it."
"This...can't do it, can't do it..."
Zhang Xiufang said no, and shook her head like a rattle. The small round mirror was still held in her hand, with no intention of returning it.
"Look! Let's look at this. You are also a face-saving person. If I give it to you, you will definitely not accept it. We should follow the method just mentioned. I will mortgage the mirror to you. You will lend me 2 yuan.
If I don’t return the money to you later, this [Flawless Crystal Stainless Steel Folding Small Round Mirror] will be yours. If I return the money to you, this mirror will be returned to me. Is that okay?”
"2 yuan? Too expensive, isn't it? What size mirror is this? A size 12 dressing mirror only costs 2 yuan in a department store."
"Look, can I trick you? The dressing mirror you mentioned has nothing but a larger base, and there are also plum blossoms or birds painted on the mirror, which seriously affects the line of sight. This small round mirror is small, exquisite and easy to use.
It’s easy to carry, and it’s protected by stainless steel shells on both sides, which is wear-resistant and drop-resistant. Let me demonstrate it to you.”
After Zhou Wenzhong finished speaking, he grabbed the small round mirror from Zhang Xiufang's hand, pointed it at a brick, and tried to throw it down.
"Don't!!!"
"I'm really not afraid of falling. If it breaks, it's mine."
"Stop it! I want this mirror."
After Zhang Xiufang took the mirror from Zhou Wenzhong's hand, she quickly put it in her cotton-padded jacket pocket, took out her handkerchief from her trouser pocket, took out the legendary most expensive green banknote, printed with the lathe's 2 yuan, and handed it to Zhou
Wen Zhong, then quickly turned his back and put the wallet away as quickly as possible.
"Don't look away, I have no money."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I just took a look, you are really gone."
"You should leave quickly."
This little bitch, is she almost bald? Yes, it was she who gave her bathing tickets and invoices. It was she who also helped him exchange 10% of the food, so she might as well feed her first, and then try to trick her later.
.
He took out 2 pieces of soy sauce beef from the space and put them in her lunch box. He also took out 2 pieces of jujube cakes from the snack box and put them in her lunch box.
Hearing Zhou Wenzhong's footsteps getting further and further away, Zhang Xiufang turned around, stretched her neck and looked through the glass, not realizing that he had left.
"Hmph! I've never seen this small mirror on the market! It's worth at least 3 yuan. I was deceived in just two sentences, plus the two tickets I gave him yesterday. Calculated as a whole, I still made a profit.
It’s 6 cents.”
Touching the small round mirror in her pocket, Zhang Xiufang felt very happy. She lowered her head and picked up her lunch box to continue eating. She saw what was on it.
"What a fool. He didn't even know he was being sold. Did I cheat him too much? Seeing that he was wearing rags, but he gave me his meat? Is he planning to poison me?"
Zhang Xiufang took the lunch box and ran to the door of the grain station. She walked to Stationmaster Zhang and quickly opened the lunch box. Anyway, at this time, all the staff at the grain station had gone to eat, and only her father was here reading the newspaper.
"Dad, please try it."
"what?"
"Zhou Wenzhong gave it to you, please try it first."
Zhang Xiufang used her chopsticks to pick off some beef, broke off some jujube cakes, and stuffed it into Stationmaster Zhang's mouth.
"Um...stop stuffing it!"
"Dad, is it delicious?"
Stationmaster Zhang nodded and replied: "It's quite delicious. Is this soy sauce beef? Where did he get it? Why don't you eat it?"
"Hey, if I have any good things, I have to stick with you first."
"It tastes good, and it's also punchy. This is beef tendon. Give me another piece."
"No, maybe next time. Dad, does your stomach hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, why do you ask?"
"Then what? I had a stomachache in the morning. I thought it was because of breakfast. You should be busy first. I'm going back to eat."
Zhang Xiufang left after finishing speaking.
"It's been very busy all day, and it doesn't look like a girl's home at all."
Stationmaster Zhang squinted his eyes and picked his teeth. He was very puzzled by his daughter's behavior just now.
