"Xiao Xiaocao deserves to be punished for his virtue."
As she said this, she said with some regret, "Why don't you fight me?"
Jian Yuelan was too lazy to pay attention to her and worked hard.
She split the threads into several pieces at an extremely fast speed. Zheng Wan was stunned and asked, "Why did you cut the threads so thin? Will they not break?"
"Won't."
Those who break threads are novices. This happened to her when she first learned embroidery, but it never happened again after she became proficient in splitting threads.
Not wanting to continue on this topic, she said, "Who else did you find besides your sister-in-law Shi?"
"I don't know about this, I won't know until I get to work."
"What time do you go to work?"
"Sister-in-law Shi said she would go to work when everyone is here."
The implication: The specific time is uncertain.
Jian Yuelan made a sound and chatted with her. Then Zheng Wan couldn't sit still anymore and asked Qiqi Ai Ai, "Xiao Jian, do you want to go to the city?"
Jian Yuelan liked hearing this topic, so she raised her eyes and looked over, "What are you going to do in the city?"
"Isn't it time to go to work? I want to buy some cloth to make new clothes."
If I remember correctly, this guy doesn't know how to make clothes.
Jian Yuelan said calmly, "Just buy the ready-made clothes. It's a lot of trouble to bring them back and make them, and you don't know how."
Zheng Wan, "······"
That makes sense, right? "I don't have that many cloth tickets."
She said with a sneer, "Do you still have the cloth receipts at home? If you do, can you lend them to me first? I'll pay you back when my old money is invoiced next month."
"OK."
Jian Yuelan nodded, "Sit down for a while and I'll get it for you."
Soon, she came out with the cloth tickets and said, "There are only so many. If it's not enough, you can ask Sister-in-law Chen and the others to borrow some."
Zheng Wan took it and turned it over, then counted the cloth tickets at home, and said with a smile, "That's enough."
Then, the two agreed on a time to go to the city and Zheng Wan said goodbye and left.
Jian Yuelan spent an afternoon splitting the required threads and went to the kitchen to cook.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Linxing came back covered in mud and sand.
She didn't bother to ask anymore. After preparing bath supplies for him, she sat in the main room and waited for him to eat.
Then, she saw Zhou Qingqing and the Yu brothers passing by the door. She was holding a bucket in her hand, and Yu Guodong was carrying a basket on his back.
As for Yu Qinghe, he took a piece of dried fruit and gnawed it until his face was dirty.
Seeing the dried fruit in his hand, Jian Yuelan's thoughts changed.
In the evening, she lay on Ye Linxing and talked to him, "Brother, can I buy dried fruit from a fellow villager?"
The man who put his hand on her back and rubbed it paused, "The supply and marketing cooperative has it, so there's no need to look for fellow villagers."
"I want to buy more and send them home."
Jian Yuelan counted on her fingers, "I need to send it to grandma, too. Then again, have you ever written a letter to grandma?"
How can a man not know what a little woman is thinking? He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have sent telegrams to my parents and grandparents."
"When was it sent?"
"The second day you came."
Jian Yuelan said, "Can I buy it?"
"able."
He nodded, "Just avoid some people."
Private sales are not allowed now. Although the environment on the island is better than that inland, it is only better. Being targeted by the red soldiers is a problem.
"clear."
She said, "I lent the cloth ticket to Zheng Wan, and we made an appointment to go to the city the day after tomorrow."
These words cheered up Ye Linxing. He opened his eyes and looked at the little woman in his arms, "Going in the morning?"
"Um."
"Then you won't come back tonight?"
Jian Yuelan was too embarrassed to speak directly and squirmed in his arms, "I just want to go to the Friendship Store and have a look. I still have two pieces of embroidery at home that I haven't sold yet."
The man was immediately angered by her words and turned over on top of her, "I can't support you?"
"······No."
"oh."
The man's tone was very calm, "Then you still sell embroidery?"
He was probably very angry and wanted to hit her, but he was reluctant to teach her a lesson. The little woman didn't take him seriously, so she simply bit her earlobe and molared her teeth.
"The Friendship Store accepts it."
Jian Yuelan trembled all over and struggled to leave, but the man refused, and then started a fire.
Sensing his reaction, she froze for a moment and did not dare to move. Her eyes evaded and she said, "I, I want to start a business after the reform and opening up."
Starting a business requires money.
The man's enthusiasm cooled down. He let go of her earlobe and looked at her condescendingly, "Do you think there will be reform and opening up?"
"definitely."
Jian Yuelan, who knew history, looked into his eyes and said confidently, "Brother, believe me, the country cannot always be like this. It is inevitable to develop and open up, it is just a matter of sooner or later."
Their eyes met, she was full of confidence, and his eyes were deep.
The atmosphere froze slightly. After a while, something flickered under the man's eyes. His knowledge was quite sharp.
"Be safe in the city and don't take Zheng Wan on an adventure."
Jian Yuelan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."
She can have sex as she pleases, but it is impossible to take Zheng Wanlang with her.
"Bring more money, and remember to disguise your face. I will bring back the letter of introduction tomorrow. You will stay in a guest house at night. You are not allowed to go out after dark."
"okay."
Ye Linxing was really worried about her going to the city and gave her a lot of precautions.
Jian Yuelan was so annoyed by him that she hummed in response and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep, but she actually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, she woke up with her biological clock on time. Ye Linxing was nowhere to be seen. On the table in the main room was the breakfast he had brought back from the cafeteria.
After Jian Yuelan finished eating, she cleaned the lunch box and sent it back to the cafeteria.
Then I went to find fellow villagers to buy dry goods.
I met Huang Yang on the road, and when he learned that she wanted to buy dried fruits and seafood, he immediately said, "Sister, there are many in our clan, do you want some?"
"Take me to see it."
Jian Yuelan's eyes suddenly lit up, Huang Yang responded and took her back to the clan.
Then, Jian Yuelan bought a bunch of dried fruits and dried seafood according to the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative and vegetable station.
There are also kelp, seaweed, etc., which add up to more than 70 kilograms.
After returning home, she divided the things into two parts, sending twenty-five kilograms to her grandma, and the rest was sent home for her mother to distribute to her uncle, uncle, and their family.
Attached is the handwriting practice.
The next day, after disguising herself, she took her things and Zheng Wan and went straight to the dock to get on the boat. Before she could sit down, Zhou Qingqing rushed over with the Yu brothers.
Seeing the two of them, Zhou Qingqing suddenly looked like he wanted to get on the boat but didn't dare.
When they were in a dilemma, Yu Qinghe, the little boy, looked excited and said to Jian Yuelan, "Auntie, carry me up."
He stretched out his short hand and smiled innocently.
The corner of Jian Yuelan's mouth twitched, and she stood up and carried him onto the boat. Yu Guodong immediately followed.
Zhou Qingqing stood there like a door god. Seeing this, Zheng Wan waved to her, "Come up quickly. What are you doing standing still? The ship is about to leave."
Jian Yuelan pretended not to hear, lowered her head and spoke to Yu Qinghe in her arms.
Seeing this, Zhou Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, quickly came up and called her sister-in-law, and started chatting with Zheng Wan.
I have to say that Zhou Qingqing is serious about being a stepmother.
There is no direct boat to Anseong on the island, so they need to take a boat to the county seat first, and then transfer from the county seat to Anseong.
The whole journey lasted nearly five hours, and during these five hours, Zhou Qingqing took care of the two children as if they were eyes.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived in Ancheng.
Compared with the poverty of the island, Anseong, the provincial capital city, is much more prosperous.
After coming out of the station, Zheng Wan and her two little boys were dazzled by what they saw.
"I'm going to the post office, will you go with me or separately?"
Zhou Qingqing didn't want to act with her, so she grabbed the two kids and said, "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Zheng Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Xiao Jian, can Xiao Zhou and I go to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"Okay."
Jian Yuelan nodded and told the elder and the younger, "Don't run around. The four of you stay together and don't separate and hold hands tightly. We'll entertain you later."
"good."
So, a group of people acted separately.
Jian Yuelan went straight to the post office and sent home letters and things back.
Thinking about the speed of mailing now, she sent another telegram to report that it was safe, and then left the post office and went to the Friendship Store.
Anseong's Friendship Store was built in 1959 and is located in the Hwasin Building. It is considered one of Anseong's landmark buildings and is easy to find.
Along the way, she had to pass the largest supply and marketing cooperative in Ancheng. She didn't want to go in to find Zheng Wan and the others. Instead, she planned to go to the guest house to meet them after finishing her own business.
At this moment, a familiar voice broke into my ears.
"Auntie, where are you taking me to find my aunt?"
"Auntie is in front. My second baby is good. Auntie will take you there."
Yu Qinghe's voice.
Jian Yuelan followed the sound and looked over, just in time to see a woman holding Yu Qinghe turning into the alley.
She was startled and subconsciously chased after him.
