Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 32

The train left Pingjiang City, and passed through countless small stations. When it arrived at Jinyang City Station, the train was stranded for another seven hours. The broadcast said that the road ahead was faulty and needed to be repaired.

Meng Tao felt that she really didn't get along with the green-skinned train, so she only took two rides, and both times there were problems.

When the train didn't leave, it was very stuffy in the carriage and couldn't sleep. When she could finally leave, Meng Tao was so sleepy that she slept on the back of her chair for more than an hour.

It wasn't until about five o'clock when she heard the announcement that the next stop was Mengzhou Station. Meng Tao let out a long sigh of relief. She finally arrived and could get off.

At this time, the carriage was empty and there were not many passengers. The three people who were sitting with Meng Tao had already gotten off the train.

Assuming she was about to enter the station, Meng Tao took off several bags on the shelf and put them on the seat, and opened it to check.

I was startled when I saw it. In the cloth bag given by Liu Jianxin, there were not only two hangs of smoked pork, four cured chickens and ducks, about five catties of millet, a bag of salted duck eggs, but also an envelope with a roll of money notes inside. , The count is 30 yuan in cash, [-] catties of national food stamps and some cloth tickets, sugar tickets and meat tickets!
Meng Tao froze, and the boss felt uneasy: This Liu Jianxin gave her all the things his hometown gave to his son, right?
How can you tell her to go to the mouth, grab the child's food to eat, she is not so beast.

Put it directly into the space and save it for a few days.

Look at the travel bag that Meng Zhehan gave, open the zipper, and it is packed neatly: two cans of milk powder, two cans of malted milk, two packs of white rabbit toffee, delicate boxed small cubes of candy, two large packs of hardcover Sausage, beef jerky, candied fruit; in another kraft paper bag, there are imported biscuits, toffee, beef jerky, and sandwich chocolate!

Meng Zhehan and Shen Yu actually gave her such a high-level thing!
In addition to being surprised, Meng Tao thought to herself that she owed a lot of favor, and she really had nothing to return.

Before returning to the village, some of these things must be collected into the space, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, especially if Bao Shunfeng sees it and thinks that she bought it with her own money, it is time to scold the prodigal girl.

Thinking of the "betrothal gift" money back from Tian Zhigao and Xian Fangfang, Meng Tao took out the count again, and there were more than 600 yuan left in cash from the 300 yuan. A few feet of cloth tickets, five industrial tickets, one meat ticket, one sugar ticket, and one wool ticket. Just put these together in an envelope and let Bao Shunfeng and the others take a look at them. They probably won't take them out to count them for her.

Everything was ready, the announcement sounded, and the train whistled into the station.

While the train was sliding slowly, Meng Tao was lying by the window and saw Zhou Cuiling on the platform. She was wearing a bright red dress and waved to her. Zhou Cuiling also saw Meng Tao and jumped up happily and ran after the train.

When the train stopped, Meng Tao first handed the luggage out to the window, and Zhou Cuiling caught it outside, wailing, and was amazed that Meng Tao could bring back so many bags.

Meng Tao got out of the car, pointed to one of the travel bags and the net bag with the fruit, and said, "This is something Zhang Guoqing gave you. Ask me to bring it back to you. I'm exhausted."

Zhou Cuiling laughed happily, and clenched her fists and beat her: "I came back by car, and I don't want you to carry it, why are you tired? You don't come to coax me, the fruit in this net pocket is what he bought for you to eat, and they said on the phone already."

"Everything is sold on the train. I can't eat it at all. When we get home, we will all eat together!"

"Okay!"

The two picked up their bags and walked out of the station talking and laughing. At this time, there was no bus back to the county seat. Zhou Cuiling took Meng Tao to the hotel where they stayed last time. , then locked the door, went to a restaurant for dinner, and then came back to rest.

Zhou Cuiling has visited many cities in this area, but poor Meng Taohua has never been there once. The two of them ate bowls of rice noodles with meat floss at the state-run restaurant. When they came out, they saw the street lights were bright, and people walked as freely as they did during the day. , It's not like the village is dark at night, and there is not a single shadow of a quiet ghost.

Zhou Cuiling got interested, so she dragged Meng Tao to go for a walk. The department stores and stores on the street were open until nine o'clock in the evening. The two of them didn't need to buy anything, so they just walked around and walked past the cinema , I simply bought a ticket and went in to watch a movie.

It turned out to be "Railway Guerrilla". After watching it carefully, Meng Tao thought it was pretty good, at least it was more realistic and credible than the TV series remade in later generations.

After watching the movie, Zhou Cuiling pulled Meng Tao again and followed the crowd into an alley. There were actually several food stalls in the small alley, some selling various sour ingredients, fruit, chestnut and walnut, and stinky tofu. , pancakes, fried cakes with orchid roots, peanuts and melon seeds popcorn, and those with sweet wine dumplings cooked with charcoal in a small blast stove... Meng Tao followed Zhou Cuiling straight to the sour food stall. Many people crowded in line here, only to see an elderly couple Busy but not chaotically collecting money and distributing sour ingredients, seven or eight small open-top terracotta jars are neatly arranged, filled with sour radishes, sour beans, papaya strips, sour ginger, sour pears, buckwheat heads, etc. Which one do you want to eat? After ordering it, the boss tied a string with a long bamboo stick and took it while walking.

Meng Tao saw that there were only a few people crowding into the alley, and asked Zhou Cuiling in a low voice, "Private business? How dare you do this?"

Zhou Cuiling also replied in a low voice, "This is a black market. It's not allowed during the day. It can only be sold at night. After the movie is over, people will come over to buy food. At most, at midnight, these stalls are gone."

"How did you know about this place?"

"Zhang Guoqing had an aunt who married in this city. His cousin brought him here, and he brought me here when he went back. This family's sour ingredients are famous. I heard that my ancestors made this. It suits my taste very well. I've been with him several times."

"Oh, now you brought me here again, thank you."

Zhou Cuiling stretched out her hand and stabbed Meng Tao in the waist: "What are you polite? Going back to the provincial capital, it's like a different person. It's weird."

Meng Tao pushed the boat along the water: "It's an eye-opener, really. I also feel that I have changed. People, you have to go out more, see more and learn more, especially for a fool like me, who only knows after traveling far away. , the outside world is so big and so good, and now my mind is not confused and my heart is bright, I used to live in vain!"

Zhou Cuiling smiled and nodded: "It's not too late, good days will come when your mind is bright."

"Uh-huh."

It was the turn of the two of them. Zhou Cuiling asked for two big strings. Meng Tao followed suit, so she also wanted two big strings. The big string was [-] cents and the small string was [-] cents.

Zhou Cuiling said that there are also sour ingredients sold on the counter of the vegetable company's sales department. You can get a large bunch for five cents, a small bunch for two cents, and a penny portion, but it's not as delicious as this, it's far worse.

The two girls walked all the way to eat. Although there was nothing to worry about at night, the sour juice dripping onto the clothes was a problem. Meng Tao remembered her new lunch box and took it out from her schoolbag. Zhou Cuiling was very happy when she saw it, but complained again. She didn't take it out sooner, so she could buy a few more bunches.

Meng Tao is speechless, so much is not enough?Really a sour king.
