When Wang Ni arrived in the town, she was not able to go shopping with Ye Xiaoxiao. She was taken away by her relatives, so Xiaoxiao had to go shopping by herself.
Is there a black market? Where is it?
She also had no intention of reselling anything. After all, she only had so many supplies, and she was not like those people who would bring tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of supplies to the countryside.
Even if I want to do it, I don't have the capital.
She just wanted to buy a coal stove, and she also needed a kerosene lamp. She had been using a flashlight recently, and the flashlight in the space was almost out of battery.
Nowadays, flashlights all run on batteries. There is no electricity in the village, so we should follow the local customs and use kerosene lamps.
After walking around for a while, Xiaoxiao felt like she had walked through the entire town, but she didn't find the black market.
It's almost noon, so I decided to fill my stomach first. I'll go back and ask the familiar aunt I meet secretly to see if she knows anything.
We had a delicious meal of braised pork. Xiaoxiao thought it was so cheap, a serving of braised pork was only 30 cents, and with white rice, 2 cents a bowl, it was very filling.
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but buy another portion of braised pork to take away, and also bought 20 meat buns, planning to eat them in the morning.
Xiaoxiao, with 1,000 yuan in her pocket, felt rich for the first time.
Xiaoxiao couldn't find the black market and didn't meet any acquaintances, so she had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. She didn't need anything else, but she still needed a kerosene lamp and cloth.
There was really nothing left and the market was beginning to disperse, so Xiaoxiao found the village ox cart and waited to return to the village.
From a distance, I saw a lot of people from the village gathered around a ox cart. What were they doing?
When I got closer, I saw that they were new educated youth. No wonder.
Xiaoxiao is not interested.
But just because she doesn't want to pay attention to others doesn't mean that others don't want to pay attention to her.
"You are also an educated youth, right? I heard them all call you Xiaoxiao. Can I call you that too?"
Xiaoxiao glanced at the other person, who was wearing a Dacron shirt and pants. Although she could not appreciate and did not like Dacron, in this era, having clothes made of Dacron could make many people envious.
She has red lips and white teeth, full of youthfulness, but her eyes are not attractive. They keep wandering around, and it seems that she is thinking a lot.
It was just a name, Xiaoxiao didn't care and nodded casually.
The other party immediately became more enthusiastic and wanted to hold Xiaoxiao's hand, but Xiaoxiao dodged him.
But the other party was not embarrassed and continued to say with a smile: "You are also an old educated youth, right? Can you tell me about the situation in the village and the educated youth camp?"
I don't know if it was intentional, but the sound became a little louder. Other educated youth also came over, making Xiaoxiao a little annoyed.
He frowned and said, "The village is very nice, and everyone is very welcoming. I don't live in the educated youth camp, so I don't know what the situation is like there. You will know when you get there."
Seeing Xiaoxiao like this, most of the educated youth frowned.
Only the female educated youth from before didn't respond. She smiled and continued to ask, "Do you live alone? Why don't you live in the educated youth camp?"
Xiao Xiao: "Nothing. Why so many whys? I have a weird temper and don't like to socialize with people. I also have mysophobia and don't like living with others.
If you have any more questions, just ask them. Don't go! The weather is too hot and you are blocking my breeze."
Although the female educated youth still wanted to pester them, Xiaoxiao walked straight to the ladies.
She stopped where she was, looking aggrieved and helpless.
Xiaoxiao: ...
She suddenly became interested, but she didn't know whether it was White Lotus or Green Tea?
I just don't know what the means are?
However, looking at the several male comrades who looked at her with condemning eyes, Xiaoxiao thought, well, two of them were educated youth, and the other three were young men from the village.
Xiaoxiao had a feeling that the village would soon become lively.
She just happened to be wondering if winter would be too boring, and whether she should buy some melon seeds or something to liven up the atmosphere at home.
After all, the aunties and uncles are very talkative. Any two of them can talk for a whole day when they get together.
Her house is in a good location, so she can exchange some firewood with the children, light the brazier, and the aunties will definitely come to visit with their own snacks.
This way she could hear all kinds of news in the village.
She is definitely not just trying to please everyone with her snacks.
Fried corn beans, fried chestnuts, fried melon seeds and peanuts, pressed rice candy, sesame candy, etc. are all winter snacks here.
She just always feels embarrassed to visit other people's homes.
But now looking at the new educated youth, Xiaoxiao decided to go to Aunt Tan's house more often, so that she could definitely hear the latest gossip.
On the way back, a bullock cart was needed to carry the educated youth's luggage, which meant that half of the people who came in the morning had to walk back.
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything and got on another ox cart to reserve a seat. The others did the same, so that they would be able to grab a seat when the people behind arrived.
Only the educated youth were standing there stupidly.
When the people who came later saw that the ox cart was full, they just left.
A male educated youth was still asking stupidly: "Aren't they from the village? Why did they just leave? Didn't they take a car?"
He clearly saw everyone greeting each other very skillfully.
Xiao Xiao felt that something bad was going to happen soon, so she whispered to Auntie Tan, "Auntie, our seats are full. Why don't we let Uncle Wang drive first and we walk first?"
Aunt Tan was a little hesitant. She wanted to wait for the captain to come along so that they could take turns sitting.
Xiao Xiao advised: "Auntie, do you think those educated youth can leave in a while? They will definitely cause trouble, and they might even ask us to give up our seats."
Although Xiaoxiao spoke softly, everyone in the car heard it in such a small space.
Looking at the educated youth not far away, he also started to persuade them, as they didn't want to walk.
If the educated youth really start to make trouble or can't walk anymore, will they really not give up their seats?
It's better to leave first, out of sight, out of mind.
It's more than two hours' journey, and they don't want to walk back.
Aunt Tan was also persuaded. She said hello to the captain and told him that she was leaving first.
The captain's face suddenly turned dark, and he glanced at everyone and knew what everyone was thinking.
But he didn't want his wife to suffer as well, so he agreed.
He glanced at the educated youth with a dark face. It seemed that they would not be able to get home before evening.
I really don't know why so many educated youth have come again. How long has it been?
