Thinking of this, she immediately became excited, and even asked Gu Zhiyuan if there was anything she wanted or wanted to eat. She would go to the county town to see if she could bring it back.

Gu Zhiyuan didn't lack anything now, but when he saw Xu Ningyan so excited, he remembered his thoughts last time and his heart moved.

He hesitated and said: "When you go to the county town this time, if you are free, go and find Sun Zhou again and bring me a letter to him?"

Xu Ningyan patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, the trustworthy person is here! I promise to hand it over to Sun Zhou completely!"

Gu Zhiyuan went back to write a letter, and Xu Ningyan went back to the house, thinking about going to the county seat and bringing something to Li Jianguo and Lin Hong.

This is the way of a director to keep people coming and going, but you can't always take advantage of others.

After thinking about it, at this time, there was nothing available in the countryside, only vegetables and eggs from my own garden.

After going out and walking around the group, we agreed to pick vegetables from several fields early tomorrow morning.

I went to Uncle Xie's house again and exchanged money for a dozen salted duck eggs and dozens of eggs, and then I went home satisfied.

Early the next morning, those who made reservations went to the vegetable garden early to pick fresh vegetables that were still wet with dew. According to Xu Ningyan's request, they straightened them out, tied them neatly with straw, and stacked them in baskets. inside.

There are green cowpeas, purple eggplants, fresh green peppers, red tomatoes with a little green or yellow, plus a few handfuls of water spinach, and a dozen tender cucumbers with prickly tops. Just looking at them makes people feel comfortable. .

About twenty eggs were placed in the middle of the basket, covered with straw.

Because this was considered a business trip, there was a special oxcart to take Xu Ningyan and the party secretary to the commune.

Gu Zhiyuan lifted the basket onto the bullock cart, nodded to the branch secretary, turned around and went back without staying long.

Xu Ningyan took a nap while holding the basket. The branch secretary also had something on his mind, so the journey was quiet.

When we arrived at the Commune Passenger Terminal, we bought a ticket and got on the bus. Xu Ningyan was more familiar with him than the party secretary.

After all, the last time the party secretary went to the county seat was several years ago. He only followed Xu Ningyan, but he still remembered to carry the basket of vegetables.

They went out after breakfast. It was still early at this time, so they grabbed two better seats and placed the baskets in front of them.

When the bus rolled all the way to the county seat, the party secretary rushed out of the bus first with a speed that should not have been expected at his age, ran to the side and vomited.

He was old, and the bus made him feel dizzy.

After I vomited my breakfast, I felt a little better.

Then he went to the faucet next to the station to get some water, washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and regained some of his energy.

Seeing that the branch secretary still looked depressed, Xu Ningyan took out a cucumber from the basket, rinsed it with water and handed it to the branch secretary, gesturing for him to eat it.

The taste of cucumber is refreshing, and after one sip, the whole person feels refreshed and refreshed.

After taking a short rest and waiting for the branch secretary to recover, the two of them left the station and walked towards the department store.

Xu Ningyan originally planned to take the bus, but firstly, the branch secretary got motion sick, and secondly, riding in the bus required money. With the attitude of the branch secretary, he would definitely not pay and would rather walk.

So I didn’t mention it at all.

Fortunately, the department store is not too far from the bus station, and it only takes about twenty minutes to walk.

The branch secretary of the department store came to the county seat a few years ago and only stood outside for a few glances.

Now when I look closer, I can't even close my mouth in surprise.

Looking at the two-story building, the branch secretary became a little timid.

He didn't dare to say another word or take another step, and just followed Xu Ningyan.

Seeing her walking straight into the courtyard of the department store, the concierge at the door glanced at Xu Ningyan, but he was still impressed, so he nodded and said hello.

Xu Ningyan grabbed a handful of water spinach from the basket and stuffed two cucumbers to the concierge: "Uncle Jiang, this is the party secretary of our Unity Brigade, come with me to do something! This is a vegetable from our Unity Brigade's home garden. , I just picked it in the morning, and it’s still wet with dew! Take some back to try it out.”

Lin Hong mentioned something to her that the concierge, Uncle Jiang, was no ordinary person, and she always kept it in mind.

The results sell well.

Uncle Jiang knew Xu Ningyan and had a good impression of her. Now that she came from the countryside and didn't forget to give him, an old man, two handfuls of vegetables, he felt even more relieved.

Things are not valuable, but thoughts are rare!

And look at this dish, it's really juicy, with no yellow or rotten leaves at all, it's neat and tidy, and the cucumbers are tender and fragrant. It's really a good thing.

He suddenly burst into laughter and waved his hand: "Okay, you're welcome, sir! Come in!"

The branch secretary nodded hurriedly at Uncle Jiang and followed Xu Ningyan inside.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, Siya really did have a few skills. After all, she was a person with a job, and she had the confidence to speak.

If he had come to the department store alone, the concierge would not have let him in even if he was beaten to death.

I thought too much at the moment, but I didn't slow down for fear of losing track.

Xu Ningyan went directly to the supply and marketing department.

Today, only Sister Yang was left in the office outside the Supply and Marketing Department. Seeing Xu Ningyan come in, she was startled for a moment and then immediately started laughing.

Sister Yang also joked: "We are counting the days and it's time for you to come! This pair of grabs is over, isn't it time to grab others?"

Seeing the basket Xu Ningyan was carrying, she smiled and asked, "What good stuff is in here?"

Xu Ningyan took off the top straw covering, revealing the fresh vegetables and eggs in the basket.

There is no shortage of eggs in Sister Yang’s house, but her eyes light up with such juicy vegetables.

Before she could speak, Xu Ningyan gave her a lot of vegetables and asked her to take them home.

Sister Yang is so happy. Both she and her husband have to go to work. Before going to work in the morning, they have not yet gone to work, and the freshest and best batch of vegetables can hardly be caught.

You can only buy groceries at one o'clock at noon, or when you get off work in the evening. The rest at this time is not very fresh.

It was rare to see such fresh tomatoes, especially those pink tomatoes. She took one, wiped it with a handkerchief, and took a bite. The sweet and sour juice burst out in her mouth, which made her feel refreshed.

Sister Yang unceremoniously packed these vegetables in cloth bags and planned to take them home after get off work at noon.

Li Jianguo heard the commotion and came out. He saw Xu Ningyan at first glance, glanced at the dishes on the table and the basket on the floor, and nodded at her.

At the second glance, he saw Party Secretary Xu Zhihua, who had followed behind and was huddled by the door, uneasily adjusting his clothes.

He was someone he had met once. Xu Ningyan was still living in the Unity Brigade. Li Jianguo immediately stepped forward with a smile and extended his hand: "Oh, Comrade Xu Zhihua! Welcome!"

When Xu Zhihua came in, he saw that the female comrade looked very aura, and he didn't dare to talk to her.

I have always been uneasy, but now seeing Li Jianguo, an acquaintance, was like seeing a savior.
