Wearing the shopping mall through the 70s

Chapter 36 Hunting
"50 yuan? How can there be so much! Ruoqing, aren't those things all yours... Well, even if I owe you, I will definitely pay you back in the future. Ruoqing, then don't be angry with me. ,OK?"

"Then just admit it and stop looking for me. I hope the next time you look for me is when you return the 50 yuan to me." Shen Ruoqing smiled, and this smile almost made Lin Chen confused.

By the time Lin Chen reacted, Shen Ruoqing had already left.

He was so angry that he didn't get any benefits, but instead had an extra debt of 50 yuan!

Shen Ruoqing returned home in a good mood, and Mrs. Ji was preparing things for the market.

"Mom, what are you doing with these things?"

Shen Ruoqing watched her mother take out sweet potatoes and some vegetables, as well as sorghum noodles that she didn't like to eat, as well as some straw sandals, bamboo baskets and so on.

"My dear, these are the things Mom is preparing to go to the market. Do you want to go to the market with you tomorrow? Just go to the Red Flag Brigade in the next village. It's very close."

"At the fair?"

"Yes, everyone brings their extra things to exchange and barter with others. Although you can buy anything at the supply and marketing cooperative now, it still requires a ticket."

"Aren't private transactions allowed?"

"This is bartering, an exchange, not a private transaction."

Shen Ruoqing was somewhat interested, "Mom, please wake me up early tomorrow and I'll go with you."

Shen Ruoqing thought going to the market was fun, but when she got there, she realized that what she saw was very different from what she had imagined.

A dirt road that is not particularly wide, with sparse squatting people in ragged clothes on both sides.A willow or bamboo basket is placed in front of each person.

There were some chicks, ducklings, wild vegetables and fruits in the basket.

For a more upscale version, there are people selling candied haws on the roadside.

Shen Ruoqing's enthusiasm was dashed away by a basin of cold water.

Just this?
What is there to see in this market?

However, Old Mrs. Ji still found something good. It was a five-foot piece of defective floral cloth. Old Mrs. Ji couldn't put it down. The cloth Shen Ruoqing bought for Old Mrs. Ji last time was to make new clothes, but Old Mrs. Ji had no intention of putting it down. Wear it for the Chinese New Year.There are also many people competing next to you.In the end, it was Mrs. Ji who won the defective piece of floral cloth at a high price of thirty kilograms of sweet potatoes and ten kilograms of sorghum noodles.

Seeing how Old Mrs. Ji was gesturing at the almost-blemished floral cloth on her body, Shen Ruoqing's head was covered with black lines. Could it be that her mother wanted to use this piece of earthy floral cloth to make clothes for herself, right?
"Ruo Qing, are you coming to the market too?" Song Feifei is from the Red Flag Brigade. I didn't expect to meet her at the market.

"Yeah, but it feels like there's nothing good in this episode."

"Do you want to change the pigs into the water? My family brought a lot of pigs into the water today, and there should be only a few pig bones left. If you want them, hurry up, they will be gone soon."

"What you want, what you want." Although Shen Ruoqing was not short of this little favor, she accepted Song Feifei's kindness.

After replacing the pork bones, Shen Ruoqing carefully picked and changed a few things.

In the end, Shen Ruoqing and Mrs. Ji returned in exchange for five ducklings, two chickens, a piece of calico, two large pig bones, and two pounds of cherries.

Mrs. Han, who came with her, also twitched her lips. What could this sister-in-law do not want to exchange for? She had to exchange for these sour cherries. These wild fruits were everywhere in the mountains and fields, and she had to exchange them for vegetables.My mother-in-law still loves my sister-in-law too much.Shen Ruoqing did not expect this cherry to be so sour. The cherries imported in modern times are sour and sweet, and are delicious.I didn’t expect the cherries to be so sour at this time.But I didn’t want to waste it, thinking since the cherries were so sour, I could make some cherry wine.

This is how this trip to the market comes to an end.

Back in the village, the captain informed everyone to hold a meeting.The content of the meeting was that everyone in the village had little food now, so they organized the villagers to go hunting in Daqing Mountain.For this reason, the village also invited a hunting expert from a nearby village to lead the team.

The main purpose of the meeting is to determine how many people from each family will go.This is related to the subsequent distribution of prey, and people in the village are very enthusiastic about signing up.There were so many people there, and the only person left in the Shen family was Shen Ruoqing's eldest brother, Shen Xiangdong.

When Shen Xiangdong came back, he promised Shen Ruoqing: "Little sister, when my brother comes back, I will hunt a lot of meat for you!"

Shen Ruoqing nodded: "Brother, I believe you. But there is everything on Daqing Mountain. Although someone is leading the team this time, you have to be careful yourself."

Mrs. Ji prepared some dry food for Shen Xiangdong, and Shen Xiangdong followed the large army into the mountains.

The leading young man is named Zhou Feng. Although he is only 20 years old, he has been hunting in the mountains with his grandfather since he was a child.Originally, he was going to invite his grandpa to come this time, but the old man said he was old and pushed his grandson out.Zhou Feng had an old-fashioned gun, and because of this, Tang Jiandang was willing to let Zhou Feng lead the team.

Shen Ruoqing continues to go to school.The final exam is coming soon, but before the exam, there will be a joint exam review. I heard that this exam will be taken together with several schools in the county. Even Shen Ruoqing needs to review carefully.

On the day of the joint entrance examination, Shen Ruoqing still finished writing the test paper very quickly. Before the urgent examination came, a ball of paper was thrown next to her.

What does this mean, who cheated and threw it in the wrong position?What if someone sees her and misunderstands her for cheating?
After thinking about it, Shen Ruoqing stepped on the paper ball.

"Tell the teacher, I saw this classmate cheating!"

A thin girl stood up behind him and glanced at her proudly.

"Cheating?" When the invigilator heard these two words, he immediately became serious, "This student, you can't just frame someone up. Tell me how you saw her cheating?"

"I saw with my own eyes a ball of paper with the answer written on it under her feet! Teacher, if you don't believe it, ask Shen Ruoqing to lift her feet up and take a look." The girl who reported the cheating was named Liu Xinyi, and she is Ji Meihua's eldest granddaughter.

"Which of your eyes saw me stepping on the note?" Shen Ruoqing slowly raised his feet. There was nothing on the ground.

"I feel you have framed me and I demand that you apologize to me."

"How is this possible? I obviously..." Liu Xinyi opened her eyes wide.

"Teacher, I ask this classmate to apologize to me. Fortunately, I finished writing the paper. Otherwise, I would have failed this exam if I was affected by this. I hope the teacher can handle it fairly." Shen Ruoqing said.

"Classmate Liu Xinyi, you should apologize to classmate Shen Ruoqing." The teacher didn't believe Liu Xinyi when she said that Shen Ruoqing cheated. Shen Ruoqing's grades are notoriously good, so how could he cheat?Now that there was no evidence, the teacher immediately and sternly demanded an apology from Qi Xinyi.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Liu Xinyi said through gritted teeth and sat back unwillingly.

"Teacher, can I hand in the paper in advance?"

With the teacher's permission, Shen Ruoqing handed in the test paper and left the examination room.
