Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands
Chapter 297 We Don’t Even Know Where the Black Market Is
Liu Juhua became pregnant last winter and gave birth before the autumn harvest.
Jiang Changgui had always been worried about the dangers of Liu Juhua giving birth at this age. After the beginning of spring, he took Liu Juhua to the county hospital for several examinations and asked the doctor many questions. For safety reasons, Jiang Changgui took a few days off and went to the county hospital two days before Liu Juhua's due date, deciding to give birth there.
Because she was pregnant and wanted to save money for the couple, Liu Juhua went into labor the night she was admitted to the hospital.
Liu Juhua was in pain all night and finally gave birth to a boy the next morning.
When he saw Liu Juhua and her child being pushed out of the delivery room, Jiang Changgui burst into tears and held Liu Juhua's hand tightly, saying that she had worked hard. Finally, the medical staff couldn't bear it anymore and told Liu Juhua to go back to the ward to rest, so Jiang Changgui let go.
After staying in the hospital for another day, Jiang Changgui took Liu Juhua back to the village. After returning to the village, he specially gave Song Shuangshuang and the others red eggs.
Jiang Changgui felt sorry for his wife, so he not only made Liu Juhua stay in bed for the entire confinement period, but also did not let her participate in the autumn harvest. He also went to the village head and the team leader to ask for more work and more work points.
Everyone knew what his family situation was, so no one was unhappy. After all, Jiang Changgui worked harder, so he deserved more work points.
Because everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, Song Shuangshuang and the others had not visited Liu Juhua. Now that I have some free time, I should go and see her, and ask her if she needs to bring anything back.
Now that we have a child at home, there are actually quite a lot of things that need to be used.
Song Shuangshuang didn't go out until after dinner, so when she arrived at Liu Juhua's house, the couple were both at home.
"You are here, come in and sit down."
The couple always remembered Song Shuangshuang's kindness, especially after they gave birth to the child. When the couple took care of the child together, they always remembered that Song Shuangshuang had suggested that she go to the hospital for a check-up, otherwise they might not have had this child.
"Song Zhiqing, Tan Zhiqing, you are here. There is a little smell in the room. Please don't be disgusted."
Liu Juhua had just changed her baby's diaper. Seeing Song Shuangshuang and the other person coming, she quickly asked Jiang Changgui to take the changed diaper out to avoid a bad smell in the room.
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? How can there be any smell in the house when you are so diligent?"
Song Shuangshuang was telling the truth. Most of the people in the village were diligent and cleaned their houses very quickly. Liu Juhua was especially diligent and quick. Although there were more children in her family, they were still much better than hers.
Liu Juhua put the child on the kang, and seeing him playing by himself, she started chatting with Song Shuangshuang and the others.
After a few brief words, Song Shuangshuang said that she would go into the city tomorrow and asked Liu Juhua if she wanted to buy anything and she could help bring it back.
Just at this moment Jiang Changgui brought two bowls of water into the room.
When they heard that Song Shuangshuang could help them bring things back, the couple looked at each other first, then looked at the child at the same time, with hesitant expressions, as if they had something difficult to say.
Song Shuangshuang knew that the couple usually spoke their minds and rarely had such reactions. She guessed that they probably wanted her to help bring something back, but the things they wanted to bring back might not be that easy to buy.
I guess he wanted to ask her if he could buy defective cloth so that he could make clothes for his child.
Sure enough, the couple hesitated for a while, but still said it out loud.
It was almost the same as what Song Shuangshuang thought. He really wanted to make clothes, but he didn't want her to help buy cloth. Instead, he asked her if she could help buy cotton.
The couple lived frugally. They had saved the cloth coupons they had received per capita over the past two years, which was enough to make new clothes for the child. However, cotton was hard to come by. Although they could tear down old clothes, they had been worn for several years and were definitely not as warm as new cotton. So they thought of getting some new cotton to make clothes for the child.
Although the conditions at home are not very good, I still want to do my best to give my children.
It was easy for Song Shuangshuang to get cotton. She had just sorted out the shelves a few days ago. One of the shelves was filled with sheets that were more in line with this era, and the other shelf was filled with quilts with cotton linings. This was to make it easier to find goods when selling things in the future.
"I don't have any cotton tickets anymore, but I can go and ask tomorrow if there is any cotton. If there is, I will bring it back to you." Song Shuangshuang did not say it clearly.
The couple were surprised at first, but soon realized that there was something wrong with what Song Shuangshuang said.
Song Zhiqing didn't have a cotton ticket, so even if he asked and found out there was cotton he couldn't buy it.
Jiang Changgui had been to the black market to sell the game he had hunted. Hearing that Song Shuangshuang meant to go to the black market, he immediately refused.
"No, Song Zhiqing, you can't go to the black market! It's too dangerous." Even a grown man like him didn't dare to go there often, and sometimes he had to ask Jiang Jingcheng for help. How could she, a little educated youth, dare to do that?
"How dare I go to the black market? I'll just ask a distant relative of mine. He has connections."
Liu Juhua was worried that Song Shuangshuang was in danger and advised
"Song Zhiqing, you must not go to the black market, it's too dangerous. The people there are too complicated, not only are there gangsters, but there are also frequent inspections. Sister-in-law is not afraid that you know, your eldest brother Changgui also went to the black market to sell things before, not only did he lose his things, but he was almost caught. Since then, I never let him go again. You must not go there, understand!
Your elder brother Changgui, a grown man, almost got into trouble, let alone you, a little girl. Listen to your sister-in-law and don't go."
At this time, Liu Juhua regretted asking Song Shuangshuang to help carry things.
After Jiang Changgui said the word "black market", all he thought about was that this girl was actually going to the black market to buy things for them, and he didn't notice that Song Shuangshuang said later that she was going to find distant relatives to buy things for them.
Song Shuangshuang also regretted it. If she had known that the couple would react so strongly, she would not have said anything.
But the words were out, and she couldn't take them back.
He kept assuring the couple that he would definitely not go to the black market, and he was just asking distant relatives if they had any cotton.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't believe me, ask Tan Zhiqing. We have never been to the black market." Song Shuangshuang had no choice but to pull Tan Anjing out.
"Really, sister-in-law, we don't even know where the black market is, how can we go there? We really need to find Shuangshuang's relatives."
Seeing how well-behaved and quiet Tan Anjing was, and how serious she was in her words, the couple finally believed that Song Shuangshuang would not go to the black market.
But the truth is, Tan Anjing really thought that the goods Song Shuangshuang brought to them were all from distant relatives, and he also felt that Song Shuangshuang would never go to the black market.
After coming out of Jiang Changgui's house, Song Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a mess. Next time, don't talk nonsense...
It’s better not to bring the cotton back for now. Try going into the city a few more times... Otherwise, Jiang Changgui and his wife will suspect that she went to the black market.
Tsk!
