Chapter 172 Defective Cloth

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was another holiday. When Jiang Xinyu returned home by bicycle, she found Jiang Yuzhu back.

She was pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Yuzhu, the sisters hadn't seen each other for a month.

Every weekend, Chen Yi couldn't take her home by himself, so he would leave the bicycle for her at school.However, he suggested that when he was away, it would be better to live on campus.

Yao Xianmin's incident left a shadow on both of them, but people can't give up eating because of choking, they should go home, and Jiang Xinyu still has to go home.Yao Xianmin was sent to the Northwest to be reformed, which is considered evil and evil.

She got paid this week. After deducting a month's food expenses, she still has more than 24 yuan. The school food is still quite cheap, and she can save most of the money.

After the third class in the morning, she had no class. She sneaked out of the school and went to the food station to buy pig's trotters. When she went, there was no meat left, only pig's trotters and offal.She didn't have a meat ticket, and she had to pay an extra dime to buy two pig's trotters.

At this moment, not only Jiang Yuzhu, but also Li Lei, who was sitting under the shed breaking chestnuts to eat.

"Brother Li, are you on vacation? Did you two come back together?"

Jiang Yuzhu said: "When I was taking the bus in the morning, I happened to meet at the station, so we came back together."

Li Lei raised his chin with a smile, and pointed to the baggage on the table, "Today I brought some good things back, come and choose, which color brother you want to give you."

Opening the cloth pocket, there is actually a lot of cloth inside. Although the cloth is not really good, so much is definitely not cheap.

In addition to the cloth, there are also some small rags in various designs and colors.

"I don't have the guts to ask for such an expensive thing for nothing. I'll pay for it so that you won't suffer."

The captain's wife is interested in Jiang Yuzhu, Jiang Xinyu vaguely understands this.Can she ask for Li Lei's things for nothing?

Li Lei said proudly: "Choose it, this is the defective cloth in our factory, and I didn't spend much. I also want to thank Chen Yi. As for the food last time, you know, I don't have the nerve to take advantage of you." It's cheap, you two are going to get married sooner or later, I'll take it as an early gift."

It's a lie that it didn't cost much, but it is indeed much cheaper than going to a supply and marketing cooperative. The most important thing is that there is no ticket, otherwise he can't just buy so much.

The difficulty of buying cloth lies in the rarity of cloth tickets, and the price is not cheap. When he went back and said that he bought it with salary, his parents would definitely not say a word.

He came here with his things before he got home, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out of them when he got home. After all, his family was also short of clothes.

The other party was too enthusiastic, Jiang Xinyu was still embarrassed, and gave Jiang Yuzhu a look.

Jiang Yuzhu looked at Li Lei and said, "You bought the defective cloth with money, and we bought it with money, so we can't take advantage of you."

Li Lei said speechlessly, "Just take it if you give it to you, don't gossip."

As he said that, he casually picked up the piece of light yellow cloth and another piece of blue cloth. Looking at the thickness, he could make two pieces of clothes, "I'll go to Chen Yi's house later and leave him a match."

Before leaving, he did not forget to explain: "Don't tell my family about this, they don't know anything about food."

Jiang Xinyu nodded and filled him with a straw basket of chestnuts, "Brother Li, thank you very much, take these chestnuts back to eat, don't forget to send me the pot."

Chen Xiuyun has almost sent out the chestnuts, and there are not many left at home.

Li Lei waved at the two of them, and left with a basin on his back.

Jiang Xinyu touched Jiang Yuzhu's shoulder and asked, "Will you and Sange Li still develop?"

Jiang Yuzhu was soaking the pig's trotters and was about to shave the pig's trotters. She said: "I have made it clear to him a long time ago. I saw him accompany a lesbian to buy books in the bookstore last time. I don't think it will be long before he goes to buy books." going to get married."

Jiang Yuzhu was relieved that Li Lei could associate with her as if nothing had happened.

"What about Zhou Qi? You didn't write back to him?"

Zhou Qi also sent her letters and food all the way, he seemed to be very serious.

Jiang Yuzhu nodded and said, "I replied to him, and I also put ten yuan in the letter, telling him not to send anything or letters in the future."

She wasn't unhappy that Zhou Qi still remembered her, it was just limited to this, she knew that the two of them should have no future, this sober cognition stifled all her expectations.

Jiang Xinyu didn't know what to say, Jiang Yuzhu blocked Zhou Qi's way.

Today, not only Jiang Xinyu bought pig's trotters, Jiang Yuzhu also brought back half a rooster and a catty of mooncakes.

The chickens at the food station in the county are sold by the catty. You can buy whole chickens or half chickens, and they are all slaughtered.As for the moon cakes, they are a bonus for the hair, after all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

The two sisters were talking and preparing the ingredients for dinner when Chen Xiuyun came back from the field.

There was no class in primary school this afternoon, and the teachers took the primary school students to work.

Jiang Xinyu is glad that she is in the town. Although middle school has to work every week, it is not as much work as in high school, and it is not like the elementary school students in the team.

But according to Song Guifang, the teachers in the commune went to dig ditches last winter, and some young female teachers couldn't stand it and cried.

Jiang Xinyu only hopes that her vacation will be easier this year.

Chen Xiuyun shook her head in admiration when she saw that the two daughters had come back from buying meat, why are they both so greedy?
Seeing the two pieces of cloth, Chen Xiuyun inevitably had to ask a few questions. After learning the inside story, Chen Xiuyun nodded and said, "It's getting cold soon, so I just happened to make a coat for you two."

Jiang Xinyu has never eaten meat in school meals, and it is considered good when there is tofu. Cabbage and carrots are the most eaten, but she has also eaten white flour steamed buns a few times.

Jiang Xinyu stewed a chicken with chestnuts, which tasted very fragrant.

Jiang Xinyu was going to the county for further training tomorrow, and after talking to Chen Xiuyun, Chen Xiuyun mentioned He Yong and Miao Yue, and asked Jiang Xinyu to take the opportunity to visit them.

Her family doesn't need anything from He Yong's family, and Chen Xiuyun doesn't want to build relationships with people in the city, but the people from He Yong's family are open-minded. The thank-you gifts they gave in the past were very expensive. The big front door successfully got Jiang Yuzhu a job, otherwise they It's not easy to get cigarette tickets either.

The relationship between people is all out of place, and frequent contacts can keep in touch.

Since she was going to see He Yong, Jiang Xinyu simply made chestnut cakes with chestnuts and peanuts, and pressed them into beautiful shapes with molds, which looked like small mooncakes.

There are only two days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be no classes next week, and the students will be on agricultural holiday. Teachers like Jiang Xinyu will have a meeting in the county to study for two days.

Jiang Xinyu did a lot, and brought a catty to Chen Yi's family.

Early the next morning, after Jiang Xinyu ate the leftovers from last night, Chen Xiuyun packed her some cabbage, yam and red dates, and asked her to take them to He Yong's house when she saw He Yong.

Jiang Xinyu got up early, and Chen Xiuyun was worried about her going by herself, so she just rode her bicycle to the town.
