Zhao Lanxiang went to Qinghe Town to buy a catty of pork.
The grain depot had a new batch of Fu Qiang powder, and the residents of the town were already queuing up before dawn. Zhao Lanxiang couldn't buy it after she finished shopping. She had enough money in her pocket,
But there was no place to spend it. This made Zhao Lanxiang, who was used to buying whatever she wanted in the future, feel quite uncomfortable.
Zhou Jiazhen said, "There are no more Fu Qiang powder.
Can you buy something else? "
It cost three cents to come to the county once, and six cents to go back and forth. She couldn't bear to spend this money in vain.
She felt extremely pained for Zhao Lanxiang.
In the end, Zhao Lanxiang didn't care about what was good or bad and bought a bag of construction powder. The country differentiated the quality of flour according to the gluten content and fineness.
Fu Qiang powder was the best, equivalent to the number one powder.
Construction powder was second.
She handed the thirty-catty food coupon to the salesperson.
In addition to the money and food coupon, she also handed over a small book.
She sketched out a stroke for the person in charge of the grain depot.
In the 1970s, there was no open sale of grain on the market.
It was all bought and sold by the country. The non-agricultural households in the town were distributed food according to the number of people.
The rural households were distributed food by the production team at the end of the year. Before she went to the countryside, Feng Lian was worried that her daughter might not earn enough to support herself.
She handed her grain and oil supply book to her daughter.
She could get thirty-five catties of grain every month, and the treatment was very good. Ordinary residents in the city received an average of thirty to thirty-five catties of grain every month. Feng Lian's school was very lucky, and she gave the old employees an increase of five catties of grain every month.
Last month, Zhao Lanxiang used up thirty catties of grain. After eating twenty catties, she saved ten catties. The surplus of five catties of grain and oil was lent to Zhou Jiazhen.
Zhao Lanxiang bought thirty catties of flour in one go, making Zhou Jiazhen suck in a breath of cold air.
Zhao Lanxiang was definitely the most extravagant rich person Zhou Jiazhen had ever seen.
Every time she bought food, she didn't even blink.
She was also extravagant in all aspects.
Every time he came to town, he would buy pork, and he loved to buy the lean ones. One had to know that fat meat was much more valuable than lean meat. Fat meat could be extracted for oil, and it was delicious. It was crispy and tender when fried, and it was very fragrant. However, Zhao Lanxiang insisted on buying pork and oil separately. He was too particular.
However, when it was time to buy pork, the extravagant "rich person" Zhao Lanxiang discovered that if she continued to eat meat at the same speed as yesterday, she would soon run out of meat coupons sent by her parents. Her brows furrowed slightly.
In fact, it wasn't that Zhao Yongqing and Feng Lian didn't give enough, but Zhao Lanxiang's appetite was no longer the same as before. After coming to the countryside, she would eat some meat every now and then to satisfy her cravings. For Zhao Lanxiang, who ate meat for every meal in the future, it was obviously frugal. However, compared to the 18-year-old Zhao Lanxiang who was used to the lack of resources, it seemed extravagant and wasteful.
When Zhou Jiazhen saw Zhao Lanxiang walking towards the grocery store again, he hurriedly stopped her. "Why are you still buying pork? Have you finished the ones from yesterday?"
Zhao Lanxiang replied, "I've finished them."
Although she was distressed to spend so many meat coupons, the gluttonous worm in her stomach was already clamoring. People lived in this world for the sake of eating. She had three meals a day. In the past, the 18-year-old Zhao Lanxiang hadn't seen the world. Now, Zhao Lanxiang was an old person who had experienced decades of changes. The conservative and frugal nature in her bones had long been thoroughly changed by the spirit of the new era.
In the end, she boldly bought … half a catty of pork, half a catty of pork intestines, and half a catty of pork trotters.
Zhou Jiazhen watched "Extravagant Zhao" buy the pork, then turn to the supply and demand cooperative to buy some cloves, nutmeg, star anise, cinnamon … and other spices. She also bought some soy sauce, white wine, aged vinegar, and so on. Zhao Lanxiang steadily folded the shopping list and put it in her pocket. There were too many things to buy, and she was afraid that she would forget them.
In her previous life, although Zhao Lanxiang was a person who didn't do household chores, in order to curry favor with Jiang Jianjun, she became a virtuous and virtuous military wife. She worked hard on her culinary skills so that he could have a delicious meal when he returned home. As time passed, calluses gradually formed on her hands and her palms became rough. No one in the courtyard didn't praise her cooking. When the oil heated the dishes and put them in the wok, the fragrance from the kitchen attracted people from all directions.
Later, Zhao Lanxiang married He Songbai. The He family had a gluttonous older sister, and the two of them just happened to be together. On the weekends, the He family's kitchen would be filled with the fragrance of food. He Songbai had fattened up by her.
She listed more than 30 spices on the list, but she only managed to buy a small portion of the spices on the list after searching everywhere. Zhao Lanxiang wasn't discouraged. After all, the economic conditions and resources in the county were far inferior to those in the city. It was good enough that she could buy half of the spices.
Zhao Lanxiang returned with a rewarding trip this time. Zhou Jiazhen also bought two feet of homespun cloth to make summer clothes. Her family's conditions couldn't be compared to Zhao Lanxiang's, but she had a good mentality. After so many years in the countryside, she had saved a small sum of money and didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
However, Zhou Jiazhen, who had never been depressed before, was about to reach marriageable age. This was the first time she was worried.
Did she really want to take root in the village?
She glanced at Zhao Lanxiang, who was carrying bags of various sizes back to the brigade with satisfaction. For the first time, she envied her youth and vitality.
…
Zhou Jiazhen helped Zhao Lanxiang carry a bag of flour back to the He family's old house. Zhao Lanxiang took out the wild fruits that San Ya had left for her to reward Zhou Jiazhen. This kind of dark purple fruit was called a twist. When it was ripe, it was sweet and delicious. It could be found all over the mountains. San Ya would bring back a bag of it when she went to the mountains to gather pigweed. San Ya, who didn't have any sugar to eat, treated it as a precious treasure. Every year, she hoped that summer would come faster so that the twist in the mountains would ripen faster.
It was obvious that Zhou Jiazhen loved this kind of fruit. She was pleasantly surprised and ate a big handful of it. She didn't care that her fingertips were stained with its juice. After eating, she licked her lips in satisfaction.
"How did you get it? I went to the mountains to gather firewood a few days ago, but I couldn't find it. Someone plucked it bald."
Sister He and San Ya, who were used to gathering pigweed in the mountains, were familiar with all the treasures in the mountains.
Zhao Lanxiang just smiled and poured her a glass of water.
Zhou Jiazhen gulped down two big bowls of water and burped. "I didn't expect that although the He family is poor, these old houses are quite solid. Although you don't like what I say, the He family is really — "
As she spoke, she walked out of Zhao Lanxiang's room. She suddenly noticed something and shook her head.
At this time, Zhao Lanxiang was carrying a pig intestine to the well to wash it. She was surprised to see a man squatting in the field watering the vegetable sprouts. The pea sprouts crawled all over the fence, covering his tall and thin body.
He saw Zhao Lanxiang's surprised gaze and coldly turned his head away.
There was a stubborn sternness on his dark face. He probably lectured too many people, a bit like Zhao Lanxiang's grandfather. At that moment, Zhao Lanxiang felt like she was choking.
Li Dali didn't understand how this female educated youth was related to He Songbai.
Who was He Songbai? Wasn't that He Lao 'er?
His name was given by the landlord's great-grandfather, who invited a master to give him his name. On the day of his one-month birthday, he invited the whole village to a banquet that lasted for several days. Everyone praised him endlessly, saying that he would definitely achieve great things, that he would have a bright future, and that he would definitely bring glory to his ancestors …
However, things didn't go as planned. The revolution came, and the He family was robbed of everything. He Lao 'er had never gone to school or read since he was young. He loafed around all day and didn't do any proper work. He fought from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. He was a well-known troublemaker in this area, and he had a proud and ruthless aura. During the period when there was a lot of fighting, the He family had suffered. One day, the He family was in trouble. The next day, He Lao 'er picked up a stone and smashed the troublemaker's head. His ruthlessness was terrifying.
From then on, no one in the brigade dared to provoke He Songbai.
The most important thing was that He Lao 'er had been arrested last year for committing a crime of being a hooligan and had been reformed through labor for a period of time. This was the main reason why Li Dali opposed Zhao Lanxiang.
Wasn't sending this soft-tempered and beautiful female educated youth to live in Mr. Liuzi's house like sending a lamb to a tiger's den? She wouldn't even struggle if he swallowed her in one gulp.
Li Dali made a gesture. "How about this … Pack your luggage tonight and stay at my house. I'll prepare a room for you alone. "My family members are very easy to get along with.
Before he could finish his sentence, the female educated youth shook her head and refused with a smile.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "The He family and I are relatives. My parents will be more at ease if I live there."
She was eloquent and her voice was as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate. "He Songbai, was born in 57 years. He has an elder sister and a younger sister. His grandmother, Madam Li, was born in 24 years. She had one son and two daughters. My mother is the daughter of Madam Li's cousin, which is He Lao 'er's aunt. "
Zhao Lanxiang lied through her teeth with a straight face.
I'm sorry, mother, for letting you have a nephew for no reason. I'll help you find an excellent son-in-law someday.
Li Dali suddenly felt a headache coming on. He wanted to see if she was lying from her face, but her eyes, which were as clear as a clear spring, were so bright that they could dazzle him. Now, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a clear smile in her eyes. It was as if she could see through people's thoughts.
Li Dali withdrew his scrutinizing gaze in embarrassment.
"Well, that's good."
Since she said that she was his relative, Li Dali couldn't say anything more. Could it be that he would criticize her relative's moral quality in front of others?
