Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 The Unjust Species in the True and False Qianjinwen of the 1970s   

I tidied the house and put my things away.

  Okay, the most important thing is still missing, the big pot.

  Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take about half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy and find Aunt Tan.

  "Auntie, I've moved out, but I'm short of a pot. Do you know if anyone has one that you can give me?"

  Aunt Tan didn't know whether it was because she bought a lot of things in the morning or because she saw her bringing candy to her house, but her attitude became much better.

  "Ye Zhiqing, you've asked the right person. I have one at home, but there's a hole on the edge of the pot. It's been patched up. If you don't mind, you can take a look at it first."

  "Okay, thank you, ma'am."

  "It's okay. My wife told me that you rented Wang Fugui's house. I remember there was a soup pot for boiling water behind his stove. You don't have that either, right?"

  "Yes, ma'am. We need pots, pans, and everything else."

  "Don't worry, you're lucky. We have all these things at home, but they're not new and have some problems.

  The lid of the soup can is broken, so you can only use it for now. I'm giving it to you.

  As for the others, you can only buy wooden ones first, and then go to town to exchange them for the ones you like when the market is open."

  In fact, she could have taken these things to the town to exchange, but the old man disagreed, so she just left them there. She had wanted to exchange them for a long time.

  Now that we're giving the job to the new educated youth, the old man should have no objection, right?

  Xiaoxiao took a look at this thing and found that it had indeed been repaired. Now I can only use it as it is.

  "Auntie, how much does it cost?" Xiaoxiao asked.

  Auntie Tan: "I won't cheat you. A new pot costs 20 yuan and you need a ticket. Although my pot has been repaired, it only has one place and the area is not large. Do you think 150% is right?"

  Xiao Xiao deliberately showed embarrassment, "Auntie, can you order less?"

  Aunt Tan hesitated for a moment and asked, "How about 14.5 yuan?"

  After thinking about it, I pretended to hesitate for a moment, but still bought it.

  After taking everything home and cleaning the house, Xiaoxiao found that it was already time for dinner.

  When she was preparing to cook, she discovered that the house was still missing a large water tank.

  I don't know if there are any in the village. I'll have to go ask later.

  The place to fetch water in the village is not close to the village, so it is not practical without a water tank.

  The two buckets of water I brought back today have almost been used up. I have to fetch two more buckets before it gets dark, otherwise what will I use for washing at night and tomorrow morning?

  After a busy day, Xiaoxiao didn't plan to cook dinner, and there wasn't much firewood, so she asked Xiaodong to exchange the two bundles of firewood with other children in exchange for some sugar.

  I'd better go into the train and eat instant noodles.

  When I got inside, I suddenly saw the water heater in the car. Will there be hot water?

  You know what, there is actually hot water that can be used to make instant noodles.

  Xiaoxiao was so happy. How much trouble would this save her?

  I just don't know if it will automatically refill after it runs out?

  It would be great if it could be replenished automatically, so we wouldn't have to fetch water so often, and we would never be short of hot water, and we could also save some firewood.

  Xiaoxiao decided to give it a try today.

  I have been cleaning all day today, so it is a good time for me to take a shower. But I don't know how much hot water I can get?

  After eating the instant noodles, Xiaoxiao wanted to take action, but when he thought of the water tank, he felt that this was more important, so he had to go and ask first.

  There is a sunbathing area in the middle of the village. The small rented house is very good. There is a sunbathing area right outside. Although it is noisy due to the large number of people, safety is absolutely guaranteed.

  At least there are people all around, no scoundrel dares to come.

  At this moment, everyone was eating in the sun. Xiao Xiao saw the team leader and asked, "Uncle Captain, I'm still short of a water jar. Do you know who can exchange it for me?"

  "I have some at home. Girl, come to my house and change it." Before the captain could answer, an auntie came over to pull Xiaoxiao.

  Xiao Xiao: "...Auntie, who are you?"

  "My name is Wang Cuihua, you can just call me Aunt Cuihua. I want to exchange some cloth coupons with you, can I? My son is getting married soon, and I'm short of cloth coupons."

  Xiaoxiao looked at the captain and saw him nod, then asked, "Aunt, how do you want to change? I don't bring many cloth coupons with me when I go to the countryside."

  Wang Cuihua: "Oh, don't worry, I'm two feet short."

  Xiaoxiao: ...I don't know if these two feet are too much?

  She had no idea about this, and the original owner had no memory of it either, after all, she had never bought anything before.

  Well, she had to buy it no matter whether it was cost-effective or not. She asked other people, but no one would help her.

  For such small matters, as long as it is not excessive, everyone will definitely help the villagers, unless the other party's mortal enemy is present.

  After thinking about it, Xiaoxiao decided to change it. After all, it is not convenient to get to the town from here, and it is not convenient to bring back after buying it. She might as well take the loss.

  "Aunt, I need to take a look first. If it's too small and can't hold much water, I won't want it."

  "Okay, no problem, come with your aunt."

  When we arrived at Wang Cuihua's home, she pointed at the pole and said, "Look, this is it. It can hold three dan of water. It's enough for you alone."

  I took a quick look and it's really good.

  "Auntie, what will you do with your family if you give it to me?" She saw that this was the only water tank in her house.

  Wang Cuihua smiled and said, "You may not know this, but many people here go to Master Li's house to make stone jars. They can be made bigger and there is no need to worry about breaking them."

  Xiao nodded slightly, saying that the ones from Wagang are easy to break.

  "Auntie, can you help me move it to my house? I'm afraid it might break."

  "No problem, auntie, I'm very strong and can get 10 work points."

  "Aunt, you are really capable."

  "That is."

  ...

  This aunt is really good at chatting. Fortunately, the house was not far away, so we got home quickly.

  "Thank you, auntie."

  "No, no, if you have any problems in the future, ask your aunt to help you."
