Chapter 26

The weather is still cold, and it gets dark early.

By the time Anya and Ling Yanshan picked up Li Xinlan and came back, it was already dark.

Ling Yanshan pushed the small trolley and walked in the front. When he arrived at the courtyard gate, he stopped the car and waited for Anya to open the door. The courtyard door on the left creaked, and a woman with a hot chicken coop head looked over here:
"Hey, you are new here. Why are you transporting it for the dark? It's such a big truck."

Li Xinlan hurriedly stepped forward to take a cabbage from the basket on the car and sent it over: "I ordered some food from my hometown, what's your name, girl? From now on, we will all be neighbors, so take care of us."

Jiwotou hurriedly held the cabbage in his hands, and his eyes were still on the basket on the cart: "My surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao Hongmei, and my head's surname is Qu. What do you put in that basket?"

Anya rudely stopped in front of the cart, blocking Zhao Hongmei's view.What did her family carry, and she wanted to explain it to Zhao Hongmei?What's the matter with her!
Zhao Hongmei's eyes are sharp, and she probably saw the contents of the basket clearly: "It looks like eggs to me, how many big baskets! Hey, little girl, why are you stopping me? You can't just speculate! "

The 1979 "Criminal Law" criminalized speculation, and it was not abolished until 18 years later.

Anya was at a loss as to what speculative speculation was, but Ling Yanshan was quite clear about it, and stepped forward as soon as his face sank:
"If you don't understand politics, don't talk nonsense! When the Third Plenary Session of the Twelfth Central Committee was held three years ago, the higher authorities agreed that our socialist economy is a planned commodity economy based on public ownership.

We are not selling tea eggs for hoarding, manufacturing fakes and selling inferior products, or making huge profits. We are using personal labor to obtain income legally. Where is the speculation?Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! "

Zhao Hongmei didn't care about these plenums at all, what about the socialist economy, what Ling Yanshan said, soon caught her off guard, and muttered resentfully on her face:
"I'm just saying something casually. You young man is so fierce! You say it as if it's a big deal, isn't it just a shameful self-employed person!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was empty, and Anya snatched the cabbage that Li Xinlan gave her just now.

A cabbage can be eaten for a few days, and it costs two or three cents to buy it in the vegetable market.

The things she got were snatched back, and Zhao Hongmei immediately became anxious: "Hey, what's the matter with you, little girl! This dish is for me——"

"No more!" Anya put the cabbage in the back basket, turned her head and stared at Zhao Hongmei, "We are shameful self-employed, so we dare not give things to others for nothing!

If you have a very high level of ideological awareness, you shouldn't have any dealings with shameful self-employed people. It's best not to buy things from them, lest you follow along and lose face! "

What kind of cabbage would you give this kind of person?Don't let her eat it if it rots!
With Ling Yanshan pestle there, Zhao Hongmei knew that she would not be able to snatch it back, so she put her hands on her hips and scolded: "You are so aggressive at such a young age, you have a mother but no father, no wonder you don't have any tutoring—"

"Zhao Hongmei!"

A slightly hoarse voice interrupted Zhao Hongmei's scolding.

Anya looked back and saw He Dongyang walking towards here beside a middle-aged woman. The faces of the two were somewhat similar. It seemed that the middle-aged woman was He Dongyang's mother.

"You can quarrel with people wherever you are, but if you have the energy, you can do your job well!"

"Wei Min, you are the team leader in the workshop and you can take care of me. What I do after get off work is none of your business!" Zhao Hongmei pushed back unceremoniously.

Wei Min said unhurriedly: "I don't care about you after get off work, but don't forget what Director Zhang of the sub-district office said last time."

Zhao Hongmei's complexion changed, and finally she twisted her buttocks and walked home, but she continued to say:
"Put on airs all day long, what to pretend, your man just can't understand you like that, he has already thrown you aside, if you have that ability, why don't you tie up your man..."

"you!"

He Dongyang rushed forward angrily, but Zhao Hongmei closed the door with a "bang".

Wei Min hastily stepped forward to hold his son, and patted his back lightly: "Dong Yang, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as this kind of person."

He Dongyang's fists were creaking: "Mom, she's too—"

"If a dog bites someone, why don't you lie on all fours and bite back?" Wei Min looked at his son with some seriousness, and saw that although he was unwilling, he still nodded and obeyed, then turned to Li Xinlan with a smile, "What's your name, big sister? I ate the tea eggs you sent this morning, and they taste really good."

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Xinlan. This is my daughter Anya, and this is my nephew Ling Yanshan."

Wei Min spoke nicely, and Li Xinlan was delighted to hear it. While introducing, she took out two cabbage stalks from the basket, "This is a vegetable that I grew at home. I just chopped it back today when I returned to the village. It's not something expensive, Miss Wei. You take it and taste it.

My family has just moved here, so I'm not familiar with it, so Sister Wei will give me more advice in the future. "

"Neighbors, where do you give advice? It's about the same to take care of each other." Wei Min smiled, and generously accepted the two cabbages, "Sister Li, then I will not be polite. Do you need a mop at home? To make mops, I work in the county knitting factory, and I can get some scraps from the workshop."

There is no need for a mop in the village. Every household has compacted soil, and ordinary sweeping is enough.

But it's different in the county town. The floors of the houses are all flat concrete floors. After sweeping, it must be mopped up to make it cleaner.

Li Xinlan quickly thanked her: "That's kind, I was thinking of buying a mop when I have time."

"What to buy, anyway, my Dongyang is fine at home during the holidays. I'll bring back some scraps of cloth tomorrow, and just ask him to tie a mop for you."

The two middle-aged women stood at the door and began chattering. Anya and He Dongyang looked at each other, and Ling Yanshan called out: "Auntie, let's invite Aunt Wei to come in and sit for a while, don't stand outside and blow the cold wind."

Li Xinlan immediately warmly invited: "Sister Wei, have you had dinner yet? We just came back to cook, how about you come and have dinner with us?"

Wei Min also just came back not long ago, before he had time to cook, he agreed after thinking about it: "Dong Yang, you go home and bring the food I bought to your Aunt Li, and we will eat together here Forget it, it’s considered mutual recognition.”

She happened to be getting paid today, and bought half a catty of meat and two pieces of tofu. She originally planned to make up for her son, but now she brought them to the Li family to make them together, so she didn't take advantage of the Li family.

He Dongyang hurried home to get the vegetables, saw Anya squatting on the steps outside the kitchen washing the vegetables, turned around and squatted over: "Anya, the water is cold, let me wash these vegetables, don't freeze."

Warm man!Anya smiled and dusted the washed cabbage leaves with water, and put them in the bamboo dustpan aside: "Do you often do housework at home?"
