Chapter 25 Delivering Pastries

"In fact, 2 yuan is not much. Some people in the city may pay more than this amount for a meal or a piece of clothing. Besides, more than [-] yuan may cost more than [-] yuan in the city even with a toilet or a piece of land as large as a kang. We can’t even buy them, but if we can buy millions of them in the city, wouldn’t we be rich.” Zhang Taiping joked with a little emotion.

At this moment, Cai Yazhi's mood was a little calmer, she carefully loosened the box in Zhang Taiping's hands like holding a baby, and ran away in a hurry.

After a while, I came back again, holding the wooden box my grandfather gave me.Pass it to Zhang Taiping, the meaning is self-evident.

Zhang Taiping returned the box and said, "These are from grandpa. They are the old man's care for his grandson. They are not desperate. It would be too much to sell them all. You should keep them for drinking." .”

Cai Yazhi blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment, and didn't mention it anymore.

But Zhang Taiping reckoned that she would never drink infused water in the future.After all, this saffron is too valuable and precious.Rural people sometimes feel that it is a luxury to spend a few dollars more. Like this, it can easily cost dozens of dollars to drink, which is definitely a luxury among luxury.Any rural person would choose to stay instead of wasting it by himself.

After a while, Cai Yazhi raised her head and asked.

Where was this picked?

Zhang Taiping replied casually: "On Luotuo Ridge."

Cai Yazhi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she unconsciously tightened the box in her hand.

Zhang Taiping caught a glimpse of his wife's radiant eyes and physical reactions, and suddenly had a bad premonition.Hastily said in a solemn voice.

"You don't want to go into the mountain alone. Just when the corn is ripe and the wild boar is going down the mountain, you can't run when you meet it alone."

After he finished speaking, he looked worried and said, "After passing Luotuo Ridge, you will enter the deep mountains. There are wild beasts in the deep mountains, like coyotes and bears. If you meet them, what should you do?"

Cai Yazhi looked at Zhang Taiping, an inexplicable look flashed across his face, and he nodded slightly.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Taiping left, Cai Yazhi opened her mouth hesitantly to say something but didn't say anything.

After Zhang Taiping saw it, he took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else?"

Cai Yazhi was shy for a while, and then she was quite embarrassed and said that she wanted Zhang Taiping to bring some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to her younger sister Cai Xiaomei.

After Zhang Taiping heard this, he suddenly realized, and then developed some feelings.The two sisters have been dependent on each other for so many years. Without the support of their elders and relatives, they have to deal with everything by themselves, and earn all the sources of life by themselves.

In fact, Dashuai Zhang’s situation is similar to that of the two sisters, except that Dashuai Zhang is a man after all, and he has a natural advantage in making money. Besides, Dashuai Zhang has been messing around outside all these years, no matter what he does, someone will take care of him, let alone good. Bad, at worst you won't go hungry.

The two sisters were different, and life was much more difficult.In the past, labor was not required, and education was not as old as the young, and they did not dare to go outside to make a living. They could only rely on collecting some mountain products or herbs to make ends meet.Sometimes it is almost to the point of running out of food and oil, and relying on the help of the villagers and Grandpa Zhang Taiping to make ends meet.

The children of poor families are in charge of the family early. After the first two years, even a girl of seventeen or eighteen can go to the field with a hoe, and she will not go hungry anymore by planting some crops through hard work.

Cai Yazhi has always been taking care of her younger sister like a mother, no matter what delicious food, she will always leave it to Cai Xiaomei habitually.Now married into the Zhang family, but still thinking about my sister, I want to leave a share of everything good for my sister, I feel embarrassed to say it, hesitate to say it.

Fortunately, Zhang Taiping asked such a question, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have expressed it in the end.

Seeing that Zhang Taiping agreed, he immediately turned around and went into the room to offer the sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped in lotus leaves.The outside of the lotus leaf is wrapped with hemp silk into a cross shape and then tied with a loose buckle, which can be carried by hand.It was taken out so quickly, probably it had already been wrapped, and the thin-skinned was too shy to take it out. Now with Zhang Taiping's approval, it can be taken out quickly.

Zhang Taiping looked at the package made of lotus leaves. It was square, delicate and elegant. Osmanthus cake and lotus leaves complement each other perfectly. It can not only prevent the aroma of the cake from leaking out, but also bring a scent Thin mint fragrance.

In the countryside, it is not uncommon to wrap things like this.In fact, it's not that they are so elegant, it's just that they don't have the plastic bags that can be seen everywhere in the city, and they can't find good paper for a while, so they come up with this "bad trick", which makes the package more thoughtful and elegant.It has nothing to do with the material, only whether it is ingenious or not.

Zhang Taiping walked two steps with his things in his hands, then turned around worriedly and said, "It's best not to enter the mountain alone, did you hear me?"

Seeing Cai Yazhi nodded again before leaving in peace.

I agreed with the village chief yesterday afternoon that I will take Wang Gui's motorcycle tricycle to the town first this morning.

Woke up early, and it was only eight o'clock when we arrived in town. Wang Gui went to deliver mushrooms, and Zhang Taiping came to the station alone.There just happened to be a car that was going to Chengnan Passenger Station.

Cai Xiaomei's school is located in the university park in Weiyang District, the northern suburb of Xi'an, and it is also outside the North Third Ring Road. Starting from the south, the entire Xi'an city will be pierced through a hole.It would be great if there is a subway. It is estimated that it will be there in half an hour.Now it takes two hours to take a bus through the urban area, even in the morning when the traffic is not rush hour.

Today's main purpose is to sell medicine, and by the way, we will visit the Huafenshu Market.Most of these places are concentrated in the southern part of the city or simply in the southern suburbs.

Returning after delivering the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is equivalent to making a round trip to the city, which only increases the cost of two or three hours.Cai Yazhi didn't know this.But Zhang Taiping still didn't refuse his wife's request, he didn't want to add more knots to the gradually established relationship.

Zhang Taiping got off the car from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.Xi'an has developed rapidly in recent years and has gradually developed into a modern metropolis. However, while developing, Xi'an can reflect the majesty of the ancient imperial capital with modern architectural standards. It is the most perfect city that combines classical architecture and modern atmosphere.

There are people coming and going on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, and foreigners who come to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda can be seen everywhere.

Zhang Taiping walked through the square without stopping, went straight to the stop sign next to the North Square and got on the bus to the northern suburbs.Along the way, I backed up a few times, and there are subway passages under construction everywhere, and it is estimated that the north and south will be connected in a year.

After many detours, it was past ten o'clock when we arrived at school.

Zhang Taiping didn't know how to find Cai Xiaomei, he only knew which college she was in, and he didn't have a mobile phone, so he didn't know how to contact her.

It's really a problem for me, Zhang Taiping thought so.

Standing at the school gate for a while, I didn't meet them by chance, but greeted many different and curious eyes.When I came to the downstairs of their dormitory in the living area, I didn't know the specific room number, and the aunt in charge of the building couldn't pass the call.

I had to stand at the door of the dormitory, and the girls downstairs received more surprised and strange eyes, and some girls even took out their mobile phones to take a picture.It was not easy for Zhang Taiping to stop him, so he could only stick to the door, no matter what he pointed at me, I would not move.

In fact, it didn't take long, but Zhang Taiping lived like a year.Cai Xiaomei saw a big man standing at the door of the dormitory from a distance, thought it was his boyfriend, so she didn't pay attention, and she was surprised when she got closer to see it was Zhang Taiping.

"Why are you here, is there something wrong?"

Only then did Zhang Taiping heave a sigh of relief, and stood at the door of the girl's building, although he looked calm on the surface, but he was really embarrassed to death in his heart, and felt quite uncomfortable under the scrutiny of a group of girls.

"I'll bring you some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are blooming in the yard. It's not bad to make some pastries last night."

"Boyfriend? He's so considerate and feels safe. You've earned it." Just as Cai Xiaomei took the lotus leaf package, the girl who came back with her lay down next to her ear and said with a low voice and a laugh.

"Fucking nympho! What nonsense! He is my brother-in-law." Cai Xiaomei slapped the girl next to her and explained angrily.

Although the voices of the two girls were deliberately lowered, Zhang Taiping's current hearing is still as clear as in his ears.Listening to the jokes of the two girls, it seemed that the relationship between the two girls was good, Zhang Taiping really couldn't say anything, so he pretended not to hear.Waited for a moment and continued.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

"Yeah." Cai Xiaomei just nodded lightly.

Zhang Taiping turned around and left quickly.Cai Xiaomei was originally a beauty at the level of a court flower, but she had never had much contact with that boy. Now she actually accepted a gift from a man at the door of the dormitory, and many people stopped to watch.Although I don't care what other people think, it's still uncomfortable to be surrounded by people like an orangutan.

Cai Xiaomei is really strong in heart, and she doesn't care about the weird eyes around her.Looking at Zhang Taiping's back, he was a little puzzled. It was the first time for the bride to get on the bridal sedan chair. This must be the elder sister's wish, but it was a bit strange that this man, whom he had always hated and hated, agreed to deliver.

"Are you moved? Well, it is said that my sister-in-law is my brother-in-law's half-lover, and she will always fall in love with her over time." The girl next to her, who was burning with gossip, looked at Xiaomei Cai in a daze and said solemnly.

"You're looking for death, aren't you?" Cai Xiaomei turned her head and said viciously.

Then the two girls chased and entered the dormitory building.

Zhang Taiping still heard this sentence from a distance, he smiled and didn't take it seriously, he could only feel that girls are really open to joking around nowadays.

Generally speaking, children from poor families either have low self-esteem or strong self-esteem, and they can not be blinded by vanity like Cai Xiaomei, and can make such kind of jokes with classmates and friends, which is strictly speaking a little bit too much but harmless. too much. "In fact, 2 yuan is not much. Some people in the city may pay more than this amount for a meal or a piece of clothing. Besides, more than [-] yuan may cost more than [-] yuan in the city even with a toilet or a piece of land as large as a kang.
