Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands
Chapter 107 Pick Up the Package
That day, the brother and sister received a package collection notice and needed to go to town to pick up the package.
Song Shuangshuang was dazed for a moment before she remembered that it must be the cotton coat and trousers that her father and mother had mailed that had arrived.
Yes, it will snow if the mail doesn’t arrive soon. Since autumn, I’ve been wearing the long-sleeved shirts I brought from home and have forgotten about cotton-padded clothes.
The brother and sister asked for leave from the team leader on the pretext of going to the post office to pick up a package, and did not call He Feiyang and Tan Anjing.
The two of them are still busy working on the house. One more hand can help finish it a day earlier. They haven't made all the adobe bricks for the courtyard wall yet.
It's not so hot at noon now, so you can work at noon. Song Shuangshuang left a key of her house to He Feiyang, asking him to open the door when he needs water. She said that she might not be able to come back at noon, and if he didn't want to go back to the Youth Farm to cook at noon, he could cook at her house. There was everything in the kitchen and he could use it at will.
Song Shuangshuang thought that since everyone was going to cooperate, there was no need to hide anything. After all, there was nothing inappropriate to show on the surface.
Moreover, she had other plans for this trip to the county town. She had to find a suitable place to put her things. She couldn't just conjure up something out of thin air when He Feiyang came to get it. She had to see if she could find an empty house.
The next day, they still took Grandpa Wu's donkey cart to the town. There were a lot of things to do today, and Song Shuangshuang estimated that it would be difficult to catch up with Grandpa Wu's cart back to the village, so she and Song Youlin went to the post office to pick up the package and asked Grandpa Wu to help bring it back.
The two of them came to the post office and watched the staff carrying out two packages with great effort, saying that they were both hers. Song Shuangshuang was dumbfounded.
No, this, this is too big.
Song Shuangshuang even doubted whether she could lift it.
Judging from the package, there is more than one quilt, and there should be several cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Including the one for Song Youlin, there are really that many.
Uncle Wu was leaning against the car smoking. When he saw Song Shuangshuang and her brother coming back with a large package, he was surprised and asked, "What is this? It's so big."
Before, there were educated youth who took his car to pick up packages, but they were never this big.
When I heard that the family had mailed cotton-padded clothes and trousers to my sister and brother, I said that they were truly blessed.
For a moment, the expressions of the brother and sister were extremely subtle. What a blessing... emmm, hehe.
They are very lucky, the two original owners are...
Uncle Wu didn't notice the expressions of the siblings, and helped put the luggage in the car to make sure it wouldn't fall off. Song Shuangshuang asked the old man to help bring the package to her place. He Feiyang and the others should be working next door at noon, and someone would come out if she called.
Uncle Wu didn't ask them what they were going to do or why they didn't go back with the car. He said he would definitely take her back and told them to be careful and go back early in the afternoon, as it was getting dark early and the road was not safe.
The brother and sister first walked around the county town to see if there were any empty houses in the alleys that were not occupied but were in good condition.
After searching around, she didn't find a suitable one. Instead, she saw a house with no doors and windows, which looked similar to her house before it was renovated.
"How about this?" Song Shuangshuang asked Song Youlin.
Song Youlin hesitated for a moment and said he would look for it again.
Although the house is empty, there are still people living nearby. Although they don't come here often, they are bound to be seen by others. How will they explain it then?
"Well, next time you come with He Feiyang, get him out of the way first, and then we'll find a place to get it and give it to him."
It can only be this way.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the two put on some ragged clothes and went to the black market. The big brother who was guarding the door before was not there, so he was replaced by someone else. After paying the money and entering the black market, the two stopped after walking a few steps.
"Why is he here..."
Song Shuangshuang didn't know whether she should continue to go in. If she went in, she would definitely be discovered.
The tall Jiang Jingcheng stood by the wall with a large backpack in front of him. A man was standing in front of him and talking. Song Shuangshuang vaguely heard the words "cheaper", and then saw Jiang Jingcheng with a cold face and no words, with an expression of "I'll listen to your fart".
Song Shuangshuang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The sound attracted the attention of people nearby. It was too late for Song Shuangshuang to cover her mouth because her eyes met Jiang Jingcheng's.
It’s over! I’ve been discovered!
Her disguise was not very clever, and people who were familiar with her could tell it was her at a glance.
Song Shuangshuang could only pray in her heart that Jiang Jingcheng would not recognize her.
The man who was bargaining with Jiang Jingcheng looked at him for a long time, but Jiang Jingcheng didn't say a word to him. Now he turned his head away and didn't look at him. He got angry and said, "What's wrong with you? Can't you be cheaper? Your rabbits are not fat at all, but you sell them so expensively. Can't I buy pork with this money?"
"Then go buy some pork."
This sentence silenced the man. He left Jiang Jingcheng angrily and went to see if there was any meat for sale at other places.
Song Shuangshuang whispered to Song Youlin and planned to pretend to buy something and take a walk around the black market. If Jiang Jingcheng didn't leave, they would go out first and come back later.
You can stay in the county for a while longer today, there is no rush.
The two pretended not to know Jiang Jingcheng and walked inside. When passing by Jiang Jingcheng, Song Shuangshuang kept repeating to herself, "You can't recognize me, you can't recognize me." Seeing that Jiang Jingcheng didn't stop her, she was relieved. Then she started to look at what was sold in the black market, and occasionally asked the price.
Not long after, the man who bargained with Jiang Jingcheng came back.
"Brother, I'll buy it if it's cheaper."
It seems that she didn't buy any meat. Song Shuangshuang felt it was a pity. If Jiang Jingcheng was not here, would she be able to open the shop?
"It's not cheap."
Song Shuangshuang stretched her neck to take a look. There was a rabbit in Jiang Jingcheng's basket. She wondered if it was a male or female. If it was a female rabbit, she might as well take it home and keep it for breeding. Rabbits breed very quickly, giving birth to litters after litters. It would be great if we could kill the rabbits and sell their meat, and keep their skins to make clothes.
She really wanted to have a rabbit fur dress.
She seemed to be thinking too far ahead. Now, you are not allowed to keep rabbits at home, and there are also requirements on the number of chickens you can keep.
Pity.
The man was still not giving up and still wanted Jiang Jingcheng to give him a discount, but he didn't expect Jiang Jingcheng to put on the backpack and leave.
"Don't go, brother. I won't bargain. I'll buy it."
The man stopped Jiang Jingcheng and reluctantly took out the money and gave it to Jiang Jingcheng.
Jiang Jingcheng counted the money, put it in his pocket, took the rabbit out of the basket and gave it to the man.
gone……
The man stood there cursing while holding the rabbit, complaining that Jiang Jingcheng didn't even give him something to wrap the rabbit in, so how could he take it back?
Jiang Jingcheng pretended not to hear and didn't even turn his head.
The man had no choice but to continue walking around the black market to see if he could get something to wrap the rabbit. If he walked out of the black market carrying the rabbit directly, he would be grabbed by someone after walking just two blocks.
The supply and marketing cooperative butcher shop doesn’t sell this stuff.
Only after seeing Jiang Jingcheng leave did Song Shuangshuang dare to sell things.
The man happened to walk here and just took a casual glance, but when he saw the pork and the packed whole chicken in Song Shuangshuang's basket, he regretted it so much!
If I had known earlier, I would have waited a little longer and could have bought pork from Song Shuangshuang.
Not much better than this skinny rabbit!!
Song Shuangshuang glanced at the man and asked, "Buy meat?"
The man gritted his teeth and left!
