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,
Fuqiang powder was the best, equivalent to the number one powder,
Construction powder was second.
She handed the thirty-kilogram food coupon to the salesman,
In addition to money and food coupons, she also handed a small notebook over and sketched a line for the person in charge of the grain depot.
In the 1970s, there was no open sale of food on the market. It was all bought and sold by the country. The non-agricultural households in the cities and towns 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 going to the countryside, Feng Lian was worried that her daughter might not earn enough to support herself,
So she gave her daughter her grain and oil supply book,
She could get thirty-five kilograms of grain every month,
The treatment was very good. Generally, the residents of the city could get 30 to 35 kilograms of grain every month. Feng Lian's school was very lucky,
She gave the old employees an increase of five kilograms of monthly grain.
Last month, Zhao Lanxiang used up thirty kilograms of grain,
She ate twenty kilograms and saved ten kilograms. The surplus of five kilograms of grain and oil was lent to Zhou Jiazhen.
Zhao Lanxiang bought thirty kilograms of flour in one go, which made Zhou Jiazhen suck in a breath of cold air.
Zhao Lanxiang was definitely the most extravagant rich person that Zhou Jiazhen had ever seen,
Every time she bought food, she didn't blink her eyes, and she was also extravagant everywhere,
Every time she came to town, she bought pork, and she liked to buy lean pork. One had to know that fat meat was much more valuable than lean meat,
Fat meat could be squeezed out of oil, and it was delicious. It was crispy and tender when fried. But Zhao Lanxiang wanted to buy pork and oil separately,
She was too particular.
But when it was time to buy pork,
The extravagant "rich person" Zhao Lanxiang found that..,
If she ate meat at the same speed as yesterday, the meat coupons sent by her parents would soon be empty. 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 quickly stopped her. "Why are you still buying pork? Have you finished all the pork from yesterday?"
Zhao Lanxiang replied, "I'm done."
Although she was distressed to spend so much money, the gluttonous worm in her stomach was already clamoring. Humans 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 … a catty of meat, half a catty of pig intestines, and half a catty of pig trotters.
Zhou Jiazhen watched as "Extravagant Zhao" bought the pork and turned 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.
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 just 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 say that the food she cooked was good. When the oil heated the food and put it in the pot, 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 happened to be together. On the weekends, the He family's kitchen was filled with fragrance. He Songbai was fattened up by her.
She listed more than 30 spices on the list, but she could only 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 fruitful 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 the age of marriage. 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 a glass of water for her.
Zhou Jiazhen gulped down two big bowls of water and burped. "I didn't expect that although the He family is a little poor, these few old houses are quite decent. Although you don't like what I say, the He family is really … "
As she spoke, she walked out of Zhao Lanxiang's room. Suddenly, she realized something and shook her head.
At this moment, Zhao Lanxiang was carrying a pig intestine and was about to wash it by the well. She was surprised to see a man squatting in the plot of land watering the vegetable sprouts. The pea sprouts crawled all over the fence and covered his tall and thin body.
When he saw Zhao Lanxiang's surprised gaze, he turned his head away coldly.
Originally, Zhao Lanxiang didn't feel sad about parting, but because of Little Huzi, she felt a lump in her throat and almost cried. The city quickly receded in her field of vision, and was finally replaced by green mountains and clear waters.
After alighting from the bus, the instructor read the name list. About ten people stood out and were sent to the Qing Miao Commune in N City. Jiang Li was also on the list. When he saw Zhao Lanxiang, he was also shocked. Immediately, there was a strong sense of repulsion on his face.
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but sigh at her fate with the Jiang family.
The person in front of her was Zhao Lanxiang's sister-in-law in her previous life. She came from a high-ranking family and was arrogant. She had never thought highly of Zhao Lanxiang. She was picky and arrogant and often purposely made a mess for her to clean up. In the past, for the sake of family harmony and Jiang Jianjun, she tolerated this young lady. But now …
Zhao Lanxiang pretended not to see her and treated her as air. She was immersed in the joy of meeting He Songbai.
Cars, trains, and ox carts were changed. When Zhao Lanxiang arrived at Hezitun, it was already the next morning.
Zhao Lanxiang deliberately changed her clothes before alighting from the train. She might be able to meet the old man when she entered the village.
How could she be so careless when meeting him for the first time?
After she put on the new clothes, she looked completely new. She was clean and tidy, which was particularly different from the wrinkled educated youths on the carriage.
Jiang Li was exhausted by the long-distance bus. When she arrived at Hezitun, she had become a soft-footed shrimp. She didn't even have the strength to stare at Zhao Lanxiang.
In the end, only the two of them were assigned to Hezitun. But there were three educated youths from other places, which was just enough for five people.
They sat on the ox cart and went over the bumpy mountain road. Zhao Lanxiang put the fructose in her pocket in advance. With a smile on her face, she followed the instructor into the village with her head held high.
Several dark little radish heads squatted at the entrance of the village and watched a group of educated youths enter the village.
Zhao Lanxiang just glanced in that direction casually, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Even the sickly and weak Jiang Li next to her was infected with her uncontrollable joy.
Zhao Lanxiang's sharp eyes saw He Songbai's younger sister, He Songzhi. She had seen a photo of He Songzhi when she was seven years old. She looked exactly the same as the little radish head in front of her.
She put her hand in her pocket and walked over to give each child a candy.
He Songzhi, the little radish head, squatted far away in the corner. She was so timid that she didn't dare to get close to the children. Her face was dirty as if she hadn't washed it for several days. She only looked at the children with a pair of envious eyes. Her clear black and white eyes were full of expectation, but she couldn't help but look at Zhao Lanxiang. Her skinny little hands continued to dig the soil.
After Zhao Lanxiang finished distributing the candy to the children, she walked over and handed the sweetest and most expensive chocolate candy to He Songzhi.
She smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
She peeled off the wrapping paper and put it into the little radish head's mouth.
A mellow and sweet taste spread to He Songzhi's mouth. Her saliva gushed out and wrapped around the source of the sweetness. She didn't dare to open her mouth.
He Songzhi had never eaten such good candy before. She didn't know that candy tasted like this.
He Songzhi didn't say anything. Zhao Lanxiang didn't ask either. She secretly stuffed the remaining fruit candy into the little radish head's pocket and said with a smile, "Eat it when you get home. Don't let others know that you have so much candy."
After Zhao Lanxiang finished speaking, the instructor roared, "Hurry up and get back here!"
Jiang Li smiled gloatingly. Zhao Lanxiang hurriedly responded and returned to the group.
A tall and thin figure swept over and picked up He Songzhi. The little radish head mumbled a few words.
Zhao Lanxiang turned around to take a look. She was stunned on the spot.
This was … an old man when he was young?
Her heart beat violently. Thump, thump, thump. Her heart was so hot that even her face started to heat up.
