Chapter 34 Arrangement
"Hua Hua~ Hua Hua"
The river is singing softly, accompanied by the sound of frogs and cicadas among the trees in the fields, forming a unique symphony at night.
In the depths of the empty reed marsh downstream of Li River, the relatively flat area that has been trampled by humans is now bustling with activity.
A group of people were silently buying and selling in front of simple stalls laid out on the ground.
Zhang Ze discovered this place by accident. After paying the 2 cent admission fee, he took Mao Qianjin around from beginning to end.
No matter how much food there is on the stall, it will be snatched up by others as soon as they show up.
Maybe because of the mountain city, game is not uncommon, but it doesn’t sell out so fast.
They spent four yuan to buy a pheasant weighing less than four kilograms and less than five kilograms, and bought a dozen wild duck eggs.
Other clothes, shoes, industrial products, etc. were not that scarce, so they didn’t look much at them. They picked up their things and left quickly through the exit.
...
At the same time, Suning, who had just come out of Qu's house, suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead, "Fortunately, I didn't go far!"
jogging all the way. When I came to Qu's house again, I found that Xiao Qu was still holding the blue glazed porcelain bowl with a small hole in his hands, and was staring at the doorstep glumly.
"Huh~ Xiao Qu Hui, why don't you close the door and go back to the house?"
"Sister!"
Hearing the sound, Qu Hui raised his head with surprise on his face, and Qu Hui saw Those who left and returned jumped up happily, not caring about the cold water splashing on their bodies.
"Xiao Quhui, is there a ladder at home?"
"Yes, sister, please wait~"
Huang Shufen, who was in the main room, was forcing herself on her The two bags of steamed buns that were said to be gifts were stuffed into them. I was panicking. When I heard the familiar voice, I quickly grabbed them and walked out quickly.
“Ning Ning can’t do this, please bring your things back quickly...”
"Mother-in-law, I need a ladder, it's urgent!"
"Ah, well, then you wait for mother-in-law and I will get it for you!"
He took the thing she handed over smoothly, Suning nodded obediently and hurriedly went to get the ladder when the person turned around, then quietly put the two bags back on the table in the room.
The old man and the young man quickly lifted the ladder out.
Considering her small body, Huang Shufen did not take the long ladder used to go up to the roof, but placed the short wooden ladder usually used to hang melons and vines in the back of the yard.
“Ning Ning, can you check this height?”
The short ladder visually measures over one meter to less than two meters, which is completely enough. It doesn’t look heavy for her alone. Can be moved.
Suning took the ladder, put it on his shoulders with his head through the middle without any fuss, and said goodbye to his grandfather and grandson for the second time in an eager tone.
"Hey, Ningning, you can't walk well. How about grandma going to see you off?"
"No, no, I can do it. Grandma, it's too late." I’m leaving now!”
"Be careful, slow down, Ning Ning!"
Seeing the anxious expression on her face, thinking that if there was something urgent, it might not be convenient for an old woman like herself to follow her, so Huang Shufen stopped insisting and could only look worried. A few words of advice.
The others hid in the darkness and walked away. After closing the door, they recalled the empty hands of the girl when she left.
Huang Shufen led her grandson quickly to the house, and as expected, she saw the things she had brought out lying quietly on the table.
In hindsight, I understood why this man was in such a hurry, carrying a ladder and running at a trot as if he was being chased by a dog.
I was immediately amused, angry and heart-warming, "This girl! Come back here."
"Milk~" "Eat it!"
"Hiss~ White flour steamed buns? Big meat buns?"
Qu Hui was dumbfounded when grandma stuffed each one into his hand. He couldn't believe it and squeezed it hard. He softly announced with a little heat: it's true. of!
Touching his little face, Huang Shufen's bloodshot eyes were filled with tears, but she still smiled, "Hui'er must always remember these people who are kind to us and good to us!"
" Well, I know that I will definitely repay them when I grow up."
...
Climb back to the guest house room easily with the ladder, and then put the ladder back into the space when you turn around. Here, Suning stretched hard and collapsed on the bed.
After about ten minutes, her weak and numb legs felt much better before she slowly stood up.
"Wow~"
Pour half of the hot water into the enamel basin placed on the shelf at the door, take out a towel, toothpaste and toothbrush from the luggage bag containing the washing utensils, and then Find a change of clothes inside and out.
With a bag full of things, he opened the door and went to the public toilet and bathroom on the second floor.
Carefully make sure the door of the small cubicle is locked, take your things and sneak into the Taoyuan courtyard, and take a quick bath.
……
"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao?"
With half-dried hair and clean clothes in the basin, as soon as they came out of the toilet, they saw two people standing blankly with their hands empty. The door of your room.
Quickly stepped forward to help open the door. Suning put the basin down, turned around, took the lunch boxes and vegetables bowls from their hands, and placed them on the only small table in the room.
"Is Ning Ning starving? Come on, try your brothers' cooking!"
"Stewed pheasant, wild duck eggs and fried shallots, very fragrant."
Looking at the steaming food in surprise, Suning raised her eyebrows and wondered, "Where did the pheasant and duck eggs come from?"
"The state-owned restaurants outside are all closed, and there are no dishes left in the guest house. Only these. Fortunately, we were lucky and got a pheasant and duck eggs there.”
That place should refer to the black market of the ancient market.
He nodded in understanding and asked no more questions. The three of them began to chat about tomorrow's events and subsequent arrangements while eating.
From the cowhide bag full of house certificates left by her grandfather, she found the one in southern Hunan alone before setting off, and studied it carefully with Grandpa Fu.
In addition to the two buildings in Star City, there are two independent courtyards in the ancient city.
In Yong County under the jurisdiction of the ancient city, Yazi Town, now renamed Hongqi Commune, each has a small bungalow, and the rest is the Su family's ancestral home located in the third production brigade.
The place where Grandpa Fu was transferred a few years later was in the First Production Brigade under the Hongqi Commune in Yong County.
Fortunately, the ancient city is not far from Yong County. There are many buses going back and forth between the two places. On average, there is one trip every hour, and it can be reached in less than two hours.
“So Ningning, what you mean is that one of us will go to the transport team of Yong County and the other will go to Hongqi Commune?”
“Well, yes. Brother Zhang and Brother Mao, what do you two think? ?”
This means that each of them gets two jobs and gets double wages!
Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin looked at each other, feeling that they were burning their hands by doing this.
It is said that she is still secretly protecting her safety, and there are many things that will have to be arranged by her in the future, but in fact, both of them have their own jobs, so how can the protection be carried out easily? How far into the future is it?
“No, doesn’t this allow us to take advantage of you in vain?”
"Yes, yes, Ningning, why don't you do this? There is no danger in the ancient city now. Brother Zhang and I can take turns protecting you secretly and openly.
When the other person is resting, you can go find one by yourself. Odd jobs.”
