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,
She had never looked down on Zhao Lanxiang,
She was picky and arrogant,
She often deliberately 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,
Now..
Zhao Lanxiang pretended not to see her,
She treated her as air and was immersed in the joy of going to see 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 getting off the train,
She might be able to see the old man when she entered the village.
How could she be so careless when meeting for the first time?
After she changed into new clothes, her whole spirit and appearance were brand new,
Clean and tidy, and looked particularly different from the wrinkled educated youths on the carriage.
Jiang Li was tossed by the long-distance bus, and her face was pale,
When she arrived at Hezitun, she had already 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,
There were just five of them.
The few of them sat on the ox cart and climbed 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.
A few 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,
Her eyes suddenly lit up. Even the sickly and weak Jiang Li next to her,
Were infected with the uncontrollable joy on her body.
Zhao Lanxiang's sharp eyes saw He Songbai's sister,
He Songzhi. She had seen a photo of He Songzhi when she was seven years old,
It looked exactly the same as the little radish head in front of him.
She put her hand in her pocket and walked over to give each child a candy.
He Songzhi, the little radish head, crouched far away in a corner. She was so timid that she didn't dare to approach the pile of children. Her face was so dirty that it looked like it hadn't been washed for days. She only used a pair of envious eyes to look at the children who were getting candy. Her clear eyes were filled with anticipation, but she couldn't help but look at Zhao Lanxiang. Her skinny little hands continued to dig at the soil.
After Zhao Lanxiang finished dividing the children, he 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 threw 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, not daring 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 rest of the 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 quickly 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 started to beat violently. Thump, thump, thump. Her heart was so hot that even her face started to heat up.
The man had his back to her and was holding his sister. Zhao Lanxiang's patience was almost worn out. Just as she was about to walk over and say a few words, he turned sideways. Their eyes met, and the two people's eyes met.
Zhao Lanxiang was stunned. This familiar silhouette was really He Songbai.
She quickly took a look. Sure enough, it was different from the old man's description.
He didn't have the kind of steadiness and elegance that settled over time, but he had a youthful heroic spirit when he was young. He was wearing coarse cloth that was a bit old and had many patches. A pair of tattered trousers were short to his calf, revealing a thin layer of muscle. Such tattered clothes reduced his handsomeness. He looked poor and shabby, which made people despise him.
However, in Zhao Lanxiang's eyes, no matter how poor her man was, he was still pleasing to the eye.
When Zhao Lanxiang met He Songbai, they were no longer young. At that time, He Songbai had more of a temperament, solid and steady, neither too fast nor too slow. It was the peace and gentleness of someone who had been washed away by years and hardships.
He withdrew his gaze and picked up his sister with one hand as if he was carrying a package. The other hand carried her on his waist.
He Songbai looked at the suspicious circle around his sister's mouth and knocked her head.
"Silly girl, why are you so hungry that you even eat dirt? You can't eat Guanyin dirt. It will make your stomach bloat. Spit it out! "
He was full of wild and unruly aura. He looked fierce and evil, but when he looked at his sister, the ice melted into a pool of clear water.
He Songzhi laughed mischievously and opened her mouth to reveal more "black dirt". "It's sweet and delicious. That sister gave it to me."
He Songbai looked at the colorful fruit candies in his sister's pocket and looked ahead. His gaze met Zhao Lanxiang's and he silently carried He Songzhi away.
The instructor harshly criticized Zhao Lanxiang.
After Zhao Lanxiang saw He Song Bai, a warm feeling flowed through her heart, as if boiling lava flowed through her. She didn't take the instructor's criticism to heart.
"Yes! I am deeply aware of my mistakes. In the future, I will firmly remember the organization's discipline and be strict with myself. I will strive to be an outstanding educated youth and build a vast new world for the country! "
When the instructor heard the girl's clear and loud voice and looked at her fair face, he gave up on lecturing her.
This kind of delicate city student should be left to the production team leader to worry about.
The instructor sent her to the educated youth training center and gathered the new and old educated youths for a welcome party. Then, he took the bus back to the city that very night.
…
At night.
In the He family's small dilapidated house, He Songzhi took out all the fruit candies from her pocket and lined them up neatly in a line.
She revealed a few of her glutinous teeth. "Granny, a total of eight candies are for you."
The old lady who was paralyzed in bed all year round slowly sat up. This old lady was born in the 24th year of Guangxu. When she was young, she was a landlord's wife and wore gold and silver. When she was old, she lost her father and son. If there was any trouble, she would be pulled out and criticized.
When she heard the word "candy", she opened her muddled eyes and opened her mouth to her grandson.
The man tore open the candy wrapper and took out a candy to feed her. The old lady tasted a greasy sweetness and her muddled eyes moved.
"It's delicious. Brouther Bo, have some too."
He Songbai gave one to his sister and put the remaining six candies in a jar. He put it at his grandmother's bedside.
"In the future, don't casually take other people's things. Do you hear me?"
He Songbai hardened his voice and lectured his sister.
He Songzhi pouted, feeling wronged. But when she saw the fierce and serious expression on her brother's face, she agreed.
… …
When Zhao Lanxiang and the others arrived, it happened to be the busy farming season. For the first few days, the leader of the production team specially led the educated youths to work. He demonstrated several times and supervised them from the side.
Li Dali, the leader of the first production team in Hezitun, was still in his youth. He was particularly enthusiastic about production and had strict requirements. He didn't even care about the female educated youths. He was only allowed to record their centimeters if they were qualified.
On the first day of officially working in the fields, Zhao Lanxiang was so tired that he was unprepared.
Before five o 'clock in the morning, a group of educated youths were pulled to work in the fields. After Li Dali finished distributing the work to the male educated youths, he glanced at the two new female educated youths. His thick eyebrows twisted into a knot.
"You don't know how to fertilize the fields, and you can't do the heavy work of watering the fields. But you know how to pull the weeds, right? Today, you will pull the weeds in this corn field. Be quick. Take advantage of the fact that the sun isn't too high to finish the work quickly. "
Li Dali distributed the gloves to the female educated youths. There were only five pairs of gloves in total, but there were ten pairs of gloves. Li Dali took care of the two new female educated youths, so he let them choose first.
Of course, the gloves weren't good. They were so dirty that the original color couldn't be seen. Jiang Li directly turned around and ran to the corn field in disgust. It was Zhao Lanxiang's turn. She smiled and took out a pair of cotton gloves from her pocket. "Thank you, Leader Li. I have them, so I won't add to the team's burden."
Li Dali grinned. "Take a look at what the others are doing and learn from what they're doing."
Li Dali finished distributing the work of the entire team in the morning and took the villagers to get the farming tools.
Zhao Lanxiang was not stupid. She knew that they were going to pull weeds in the corn field today, so she deliberately changed into long-sleeved clothes and trousers. She didn't leave any mask or gloves behind. She wrapped herself tightly and bent down to pull weeds.
Jiang Li was more delicate than her. He was caught by Li Dali and scolded for an hour because he stepped on several corn plants in succession. He was sent back to write a self-criticism letter long ago.
Before Jiang Li returned to the dormitory, he smiled proudly at Zhao Lanxiang.
Zhao Lanxiang didn't think it was something to be proud of. She silently learned from the old educated youths to pull weeds.
In a way, the eldest sister of the He family and Ling Tianyi were her benefactors. After she was hurt physically and mentally by Jiang Jianjun, she decisively proposed a divorce and exposed the scandal of his infidelity to his superior. Divorce was tantamount to a scandal for Jiang Jianjun's thriving career. How could he let her go so easily?
At that time, Zhao Lanxiang was like a stray dog. She was in a panic all day long. In the end, it was the brother and sister of the He family who helped her out and taught the scumbag a lesson.
Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Grandma hasn't eaten yet. Sister, give her a bowl of rice."
Then she pushed the bowl of rice in front of her forward. The meat in the bowl was carefully selected by Zhao Lanxiang. She put it in the pot and stewed it for a while. It was stewed until it was soft and soft. It was suitable for the old people who had bad teeth.
Sister He nodded gratefully and walked into the room with the bowl. She was really fascinated by that meal. She even forgot that her grandmother hadn't had dinner yet. Zhao Zhiqing's cooking was really strange, and it made people crazy!
…
The next day, Zhao Lanxiang packed the cold duck meat in a jar early in the morning. She sealed it tightly and put it in her schoolbag.
Today was the weekend, so she didn't have to go to Li Dali to ask for leave. It was also the first day of the year. It was a once-in-a-lifetime good day. There would be a lot more people in Qinghe County than usual. If Zhao Lanxiang didn't go to the county to do business, she would feel sorry for the jar of delicious meat she made.
After Zhao Lanxiang finished packing, she went to the brigade leader's house. When Li Dali opened the door and saw Comrade Zhao, he felt a headache coming on. He frowned and asked, "Here to ask for leave again?"
Zhao Lanxiang shook her head. "Today is the weekend. I'm here to look for Tang Qing."
She planned to borrow a bicycle from Tang Qing. Tang Qing was the only person in the village who owned a bicycle. As the man who owned the first 28 bicycle in the village, he always received a lot of envious gazes every time he rode the bicycle down the road.
After Zhao Lanxiang explained the purpose of her visit to Tang Qing, Tang Qing nodded and readily lent her the bicycle.
Although Tang Qing wasn't from her hometown, he was from the neighboring city.
He was a boy who was good at singing and dancing. When a group of educated youths were playing poker, smoking, or chatting on the train, he played a song on the harmonica. He even took the initiative to organize the unfamiliar educated youths to perform their stunts and get along well with them.
"Your noodles are really delicious. I didn't get a chance to thank you last time," Tang Qing said.
Zhao Lanxiang pedaled the 28 bicycle and waved at him. "I'll treat you to a meal if I have the chance in the future."
Tang Qing agreed. He said: "The bicycle is very high. It's inconvenient for you girls to ride it. Remember to pedal slowly when you're on the mountain road."
Zhao Lanxiang was in a hurry to go to the county to sell meat. She waved at Tang Qing and pedaled more than ten meters away.
When Zhao Lanxiang arrived at the street of the black market, the favorable spots were already occupied. The so-called vantage point was a conspicuous and attention-grabbing place where the police would be able to run away as fast as they could once they heard the news. She was young and new, so she could only obediently walk inside.
She found a remote place and stopped. She shook out a clean cloth from her bag and placed it on the ground. The person who was selling food next to her winked at her. Perhaps because he didn't want people to see his appearance, he wore a hat with a long brim that almost covered his eyes.
"You're new, right? I'm telling you, you have to stand here until it's dark!"
"Anyway, I have to sell something. If you're willing to give me fifty cents, you can leave the thing with me. I can help you sell it. By the way … what are you selling? "
Zhao Lanxiang unhurriedly took out the ceramic jar and slowly opened the lid.
The cold duck meat was no longer as fragrant as it had been when it was first made, but one could still smell it when they got close to it. Because it was pickled and braised food, it didn't look good. It was a lump of sauce.
The young man who was selling food glanced at it and looked away. He curled his lips: "Why are they all bones? How much do you want to sell them for? Do you want meat coupons? "
Zhao Lanxiang said: "Of course, I want two catties of meat coupons."
The young man was shocked: "You're delusional. I don't even dare to help you sell them. Change the price!"
"Although it's a black market, you can't cheat us like this. If you ruin our reputation, I won't forgive you in the future. "
When Zhao Lanxiang heard "Fourth Uncle" stop talking, she quietly took out a clean bowl and several pairs of chopsticks.
After preparing for a while, she took out a stack of notes from her pocket and silently handed them to the people on the street. In fact, she wasn't shooting off without thinking. She would only take out the notes when she met a well-dressed person.
"Delicious duck meat. It's cooked with an exclusive secret recipe. It's spicy and refreshing. It's mellow but not greasy. It'll leave a rich aftertaste in your mouth."
She blinked and changed to another note:
"It's free if it's not good. You can try it for free."
The young man looked away with an expression that said, "If you don't listen to an old man, you'll suffer."
After a round of "promotion", no one showed any interest. Zhao Lanxiang didn't care at all.
The girl who was selling food had a piece of grass in her mouth. She sat with her back against the wall and slightly raised the corners of her mouth, as if she was waiting for a good show.
She gathered her confidence and continued to promote. At this time, she directly went up and grabbed a person who walked past her. She immediately wrote a sentence on a piece of white paper and handed it to the passerby.
"It's made with an exclusive secret recipe. You can try it. It's guaranteed to be delicious. If it's not good, it's free! "
The passerby instinctively didn't believe this girl's "advertising message". It was too exaggerated! How could something as precious as meat not cost money?
What if it ate someone and you had to pay for it? How would that be calculated? Therefore, when people saw this girl's words, they didn't stop walking. Instead, they walked faster.
Zhao Lanxiang enthusiastically took out a pair of chopsticks and a bowl. She picked up a piece of duck meat and placed it in front of the customer. Under her repeated assurances that she wouldn't cheat people, the person put the first piece of duck meat into his mouth, half-believing and half-doubting.
In an instant —
A fresh and spicy feeling stimulated his tongue. That kind of stimulating feeling was like a gorgeous firework exploding in his mind. It was numb and spicy. It was so numb that it made the corners of his eyes wet. A rich and mellow taste flowed on his taste buds, making him unable to stop eating. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. Even the bones had that kind of fragrance.
This person quickly finished eating the piece of duck meat. He even chewed the bones clean. The seductive fragrance in the bone marrow was even more delicious than the meat! He had never eaten meat that tasted so good before!
He lowered his voice and followed Zhao Lanxiang into a corner. He couldn't wait to ask, "Is there more?"
Zhao Lanxiang nodded and whispered, "Yes, fifteen cents for one tael. It's a meat ticket with two taels."
Although this price was a bit painful, it wasn't unacceptable. The customer bought two taels of duck meat and one tael of duck neck in one go. He happily gnawed on it all the way.
The first person who dared to eat the crab was there. Gradually, the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and seventh people came to Zhao Lanxiang's stall. Every customer who tasted the food would take out their wallet and buy a bit. The last customer simply bought the rest of the duck food.
They were amazed and couldn't suppress their excitement even when they lowered their voices. "It's so delicious, so delicious!"
"Little girl, your cooking skills are amazing. How did you make it? My wife can't even make it as good as your fingernail."
"Are you still going to set up the stall tomorrow? I didn't bring enough money today."
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and responded to them one by one. "No, I'll only set up the stall three times a month. The time is not fixed yet, so don't have too much hope. In addition, in the future, other than meat tickets, I'll also accept cloth tickets, industrial tickets, fish tickets, sugar tickets, soap tickets, and so on. As long as the value is about the same, it'll be fine. "
After she finished speaking, she neatly folded her simple and crude stall cloth and put it in her bag. Then, she silently left the black market.
The person who sold food couldn't sit still anymore and straightened his back.
Oh, she didn't even want to make money. It was rare to see a profiteer with such a personality in this day and age.
However, she didn't get carried away. In her mind, she thought of the young man who sold food at the stall next to her. Although he was sloppy, he dressed very carefully. If she wanted to continue doing this illegal business, she had to be more low-key and cautious.
Zhao Lanxiang habitually took a detour around the remote mountain road from the county to the town. After she sold her things, she didn't dare to continue to stay in the county. When she reached the town, she dared to use the ticket to buy half a kilogram of pork belly, half a kilogram of sugar, and five kilograms of Fuqiang powder. After that, she went back to Hezi Tun under the hot noon sun.
After returning to Hezi Tun, Zhao Lanxiang returned the bicycle and invited Tang Qing to eat noodles at her house. When she went to find Tang Qing, he was playing the violin in his room. In addition, Zhao Lanxiang accidentally ran into Jiang Li at the brigade leader's house.
When Jiang Li saw Zhao Lanxiang, she snorted deeply. "What are you doing here?"
In Jiang Li's eyes, Zhao Lanxiang's image of her brother was deeply ingrained. She was also used to Zhao Lanxiang's small attempts to please her. When Zhao Lanxiang became a little cold, Jiang Li was more sensitive than anyone else. She immediately felt uncomfortable. Especially when her life was so miserable, while Zhao Lanxiang's life was very comfortable.
She also asked for leave every two or three days. If it was her, she would only be scolded by Li Dali. When it was Zhao Lanxiang's turn, it became a natural thing. Li Dali never found fault with her and was pleasant to her. How could this make Jiang Li happy?
Jiang Li said angrily, "My brother wrote me a letter. Do you want to read it?"
Jiang Li just happened to come back from the village post office. She took out a white letter from the cloth bag and waved it in front of Zhao Lanxiang.
Jiang Li knew what her brother wrote to Zhao Lanxiang. After Zhao Lanxiang read her brother's letter, wouldn't she unite with her from now on?
Last time, Jiang Li didn't get to eat Zhao Lanxiang's meat buns. She was really angry. She wrote to her brother that she and Zhao Lanxiang were assigned to Hezitun. At the end, she wrote a lot of bad things about Zhao Lanxiang.
As her brother, Jiang Jianjun was very surprised when he received this letter, but he immediately understood.
Zhao Lanxiang might be taking a roundabout route. She finally became a little smarter and knew to go around him to curry favor with his younger sister.
Jiang Li was the apple of everyone's eye. Jiang Jianjun's uncles gave birth to six boys. It wasn't until four years after his mother gave birth to him that she finally gave birth to a girl. The Jiang Family did their best to dote on their only child.
Jiang Jianjun knew in his heart that it wasn't easy to please his younger sister.
Zhao Lanxiang's gaze fell on the letter. She said with a lack of interest, "Oh."
