Siheyuan: I tied a stick and went to the countryside

Chapter 26
"I see that Su Meng, Xu Jingtian, and Luo Yun have all moved out?"

Xu Jingtian's family is very wealthy, and Su Meng's family is not bad. Both parents have jobs, and they both moved out to live alone.

"The three of them moved away, Zhao Suchu, Li Wenxiu and I squeezed together."

Yan Jiedi then said embarrassedly: "We don't have enough space over there, can we send those thick clothes and quilts to you?"

"Why are you being polite to me, it's just that I only have two boxes here, and I don't have any extra boxes." Huang Bin said.

I saw yesterday that there is no such big wardrobe. I bought this kind of box. It is one meter long, sixty to seventy centimeters wide and high. One is for bedding, the other is for clothes, and Yan Jiedi’s bedding cannot be put in.

Yan Jiedi said: "The three of us bought boxes yesterday, but it's too crowded over there and there is no place to store them. I want to bring all the heavy clothes and bedding that we don't usually wear to you."

"Then there's no problem, you can put it on this slate and pile it up. You usually lock it, and you can take it when you need it."

"Okay, thank you." Yan Jiedi said politely.

"Okay, why did you see outside?"

Huang Bin and Yan Jiedi returned to the educated youth compound together. Yan Jiedi, Zhao Su and Li Wenxiu carried the three boxes out, and then carried them back to Huang Bin's house.

Zhao Suchu looked at the house and sighed, "It's better to have your own house!"

"Yeah, I'm really not used to it. There are so many people sleeping on the same kang, and some people snore, and the smell is too strong."

Of course, there are more girls who snore, but not as loudly as the boys. In addition, there are many people lying on the kang, so the quality of sleep is not good.

This Huang Bin couldn't express his opinion, so he could only smile and change the topic. The four of them sat down to chat together, and after playing for a while, they got up and left.

The village is still more than ten miles away from the commune, but there is a consignment store in the village, where you can buy daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, at the same price as the supply and marketing cooperatives in the commune.

The consignment store also purchases various agricultural products, eggs, game, and handmade products.

When receiving the food, I also received some receipts, otherwise I would not be able to buy anything. Although Huang Bin's space also had them, I didn't want to be too outstanding, so I came to the agency store with a clean salt water bottle and a net bag.

There is only one room not far from the brigade headquarters. I bought some soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and MSG. The ration of soybean oil for one person per month is six taels, so I can’t buy more.

I bought two packs of amber cigarettes, a catty of kerosene, and everything else as long as there was a receipt. Hard candies cost [-] cent each, and fruit candies cost [-] cents each. This one doesn’t require a ticket, so I bought some. Unfortunately, there was no milk fudge.

I bought a lot of things all over the place, and now it's complete.

Going back to the yard, tidying up, just about to go to the folks to buy some vegetables, when the stick came in from the outside,
"Huang Bin, let me discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Huang Bin asked.

Stick asks: "It's going to work tomorrow, can you help me with my work then?"

"I can't." Huang Bin directly refused. He didn't want to do the jokes, so how could he help the stick.

Stick is a little anxious: "Didn't my mother tell you to take care of me? That's how you take care of me?"

Huang Bin said: "Are you kidding? I promised your mother to take care of you, but I didn't promise to do the farm work for you. You still have to go to work by yourself. You don't have work points and you don't have food. I will take care of you at most, don't be caught People bully me, I don't care about other things, as long as you live."

"You" Huang Bin's words made the stick very angry, what do you mean as long as you live.

"What me? I advise you to stay here honestly and work hard. There is someone to support you in the courtyard, but no one here to help you."

Sticky said: "I will write a letter to my family when I get back, saying that you don't take care of me."

Huang Bin said with a smile: "Whatever you want, it's useless to complain to your father. If you are like this, I will ignore you even more in the future."

They've all come here, and Huang Bin doesn't want to talk about Qin Huairu's face. For the sake of coming out together, at most, he can help at critical times.

Of course, it can't be free help. Although I don't know how much money sticks have in hand, there must be a lot on him. As long as you provide help, you need help fees.

Otherwise, whoever is stupid will help him!

"Hmph, I won't let you take care of me, I'll go find Liu Guangfu." Bang Geng turned around and slammed the door and went out.

"Bah, what the hell."

Huang Bin went out with a net bag. The row of educated youth houses was at the end of the village, and in front of them were rows of small farm yards. Huang Bin walked along the path in front of the yard.

Some of the gates were locked, and the owner of the house had already gone to work. Fortunately, there were only two yards with the gate open after leaving.

Huang Bin stood outside the yard and shouted, "Is anyone there?"

"Who is it?" A little girl came out of the main room. She was only 10 years old. She was thin, with dark complexion, slightly withered and yellow hair, and looked a little malnourished.

Huang Bin smiled and asked: "Is there an adult in your family? Can you sell me some vegetables?"

"My parents have gone to work, and my grandma is here. Come in, there are some vegetables at home to sell." The little girl said.

"Great, thank you." Huang Bin said and handed out a hard candy.

The little girl hesitated, faced with the temptation of the candy, she still took it, but she didn't eat it, and put the candy in her pocket.

"Grandma, someone wants to buy food."

"Bring people in." An old man in the main room spoke.

Huang Bin walked into the main room, where an old man with silver hair sat, and said, "Grandma, I'm a new educated youth, and I want to buy some vegetables, onions, ginger, and garlic."

"Our family has them all, and we can sell some to you." The old woman said with a smile.

Now farmers have very little income, most of their work points have been exchanged for food, and some will owe some work points to the production team at the end of the year.

There are almost no other sources of income, and they can only rely on some income from raising pigs and chickens. Every household has their own plots and yards, and they can eat vegetables to satisfy themselves. Apart from secretly selling some to educated youths, others will not buy them.

"Great, thank you." Huang Bin said politely.

The grandma asked Huang Bin to sit down, and the little girl knew that she had poured a bowl of cold water for nothing, so they chatted for a while, Huang Bin knew the family name was Song, and then they came to the kitchen together.

I bought some prickly ash, aniseed, hot pepper, ginger, garlic, etc., and then came to the vegetable garden, the little girl Song Qingliu first chopped two cabbages, then dug up a bunch of green onions, and then brought some radishes and eggplants , potatoes, pumpkins, etc.

Cabbage and radishes are three cents a catty, eggplants and potatoes are five cents a catty, ginger and garlic are more expensive, and Huang Bin didn't bargain, they just got what they said.

After all, I am an outsider, so it's good if I can buy things, and Grandma Song didn't want a fraction of 3 points.

Huang Bin put other things into the net pocket, and then bought seeds. Grandma Song said, "If you come to buy vegetables recently, I will give you these seeds."

"Okay, I will buy food from you in the future."

In this way, the two parties made a simple agreement, and Huang Bin also got a large bag of seeds, including radishes, cabbage, small green vegetables, hairy winter melon and edamame.

The little girl Song Qingliu also kindly told that radishes, loofahs, cabbage, rapeseed, edamame, bitter gourd, green onions, eggplants, tomatoes, etc. can be grown now.
