In the 1970s, I Became the Vicious Female Supporting Role in the Period Novels

Chapter 27 Going to the county seat

When Xie Jinghao entered the room, she saw Shen Meng frowning and staring hard at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help but feel happy. This was the first time she saw such an expression on her sister-in-law's face.

"Sister-in-law, where are you reading the letter?"

Shen Meng listened to the voice and quickly looked at her pretending to be sad. The Shen family was good at everything. It was a pity that the original owner was not allowed to go to school for two days.

"What are you looking at? A piece of paper is full of words. They don't know me, and I don't know them either. Jinghao, come here and take a look. If you know me, read it to us all. See what your elder brother said? "

Xie Jinghao's face turned red. When her grandmother was alive, she went to the third grade. At that time, schools did not teach as much as they do now. When she went to school, she would memorize quotations, and she had to go to the fields to earn money during the busy farming season. She didn't know whether she could recognize all the work points.

"Well, let me take a look."

Xie Jinghao read it over first and felt relieved. Fortunately, there were no uncommon words and she recognized them all. Some of the words she didn't know were also able to figure them out. The two sisters came out of the house and confessed their beliefs in front of the children. Again.

Lu Mingkai, who had not seen his father since he was born, stared at the letter with a small face, as if he could see his father's face from it.

"I have collected the remittance slip, food stamps and receipt for receiving the package. I will take a bullock cart to the county town tomorrow. Jinghao, do you have anything to bring? My sister-in-law will bring it to you together."

Xie Jinghao is very good to several children. She is about to give birth, so why should she express it? Besides, she is not good at needlework. There will be many places to look for her in the future!

"No, no need, sister-in-law. Jiasheng will be back soon. He will help with it then. It's not easy for you to raise four children by yourself. You don't need to think about me. Well, sister-in-law, you can go to the county seat tomorrow. If you can bear it, Can you stay?”

Shen Meng chuckled softly and said: "The half-dead look is all to fool mother and the others. My body is heavier than it was without injuries. I will be fine by the time I see the sun. It will definitely be no problem to go to the county town tomorrow, but I have to wait until everyone goes to work." When you go to the county town, you have to avoid some people.”

Xie Jing felt relieved now. She was worried that her children would be gone within two days of their good days. As long as her sister-in-law was in good health, good days were ahead.

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang, who were playing in the yard, looked at each other. Sure enough, they had noticed early on that she was lying.

Early the next morning, Shen Meng shook Lu Mingyang awake.

Lu Mingyang was sleeping soundly when he suddenly saw his mother's face magnified in front of him. He let out a frightened "Ouch" and then rolled to the side.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mom has to drive the bullock cart in the morning. Breakfast has been prepared for you. You can take your brothers and sisters to eat later. Mom cooks a lot. If you come back late, you can order some first. Oh, stew. Break the eggs and leave some for Xiaogang. Did you know that your third aunt will bring Xiaogang to make clothes for Mingfang today? Your third aunt has a big belly. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you should go there quickly. Let’s go find the village chief, do you listen?”

Lu Mingyang, still in shock, stiffened his lips and said, "I know, I know, mother."

"Okay, the mother is gone."

After Shen Meng finished her instructions, she took advantage of the early morning light to wait for the bullock cart. She wore a gauze scarf on her head and sat on the bullock cart after paying for it. The people in the cart wanted to chat, but she ignored them.

It took almost two hours to arrive at the county seat. The swaying of the oxcart almost shook Chen Meng's stomach. After getting off the oxcart, she went straight to the post office, took the voucher to receive the remittance, and got a huge package. She tried It took two hits before it hit the shoulder. She was hunched over and panting hard, tears welling up in the corners of Shen Meng's eyes, she was so **** heavy! Why did these soldiers send such heavy things? Don't send all the good things they have on hand.

Carrying her things, she found an alley and quickly put them into the space. She rested in the space for a while and caught up on two hours of sleep before heading towards the supply and marketing cooperative with the basket in her arms.

The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town is larger than the commune supply and marketing cooperative, and sells more things. It basically has basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. There are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. It took her a long time to squeeze in. The salesperson frowned and helped the people pick up things, pack them and collect them. money.

"Comrade, please give me a meter of blue polyester cloth, two pairs of rubber soles for a two-year-old child, and a pound of golden monkey toffee. Thank you, comrade."

Shen Meng looked at the things on the counter and said. These are common goods in this era. She bought these for Xie Jing. It was not a waste of time to come to the supply and marketing cooperative. She took a look at everything. Just go back and take what you need from the space, otherwise it would be a joke if you take out something that is beyond this era or is behind this era.

"Wait!"

Shen Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the salesperson had a bad attitude, he did not embarrass her like in the novel. I guess she was not the protagonist and had no chance of arguing with the salesperson.

After getting the things, Shen Meng walked around the county town. Songs unique to this era were played on the radio. People came and went in a hurry, but everyone was in high spirits. Such a passionate side also infected Shen Meng. .

She made a special trip to the scrapyard, but unfortunately there was nothing of value. She picked up a few old newspapers that were relatively clean, and walked away with a look of suspicion from the janitor.

I had a good sukiyaki meal in the space, drank a cup of milk tea, and slept comfortably for a while. Then I found a sack and packed out two quilts, with two quilts for each of the children. She is dressed in ready-made clothes, and also has a pair of Jiefang shoes, fabrics, wool, her own clothes, pots and pans, a new toothbrush, a cup, an enamel basin, a kettle, three pounds of pork belly, two pounds of pure lean meat and five pounds of ribs. There are also some candies and pastries, brown sugar and white sugar, all packed in a sack.

Shen Meng failed to catch up with the oxcart returning to the village. When she was worried, she happened to meet the tractor of the production team next door. After chatting with her, she knew that it was a member of the military, so she quickly helped lift the things onto the tractor and took her along the way. After being sent home, when Shen Meng got off the tractor, she gave the driver a handful of candies. The man had short hands, so he was embarrassed and helped him into the house.

Xie Jinghao, who was sewing in the house, and Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang, who were still awake, came out and saw two big bags of things on the ground, and they were so frightened that they were stunned.

"Sister-in-law, are you saying these are all sent back by your eldest brother?"

Shen Meng was jolted by the tractor. When she was about to get off the car, she wanted to thank the driver. As soon as she opened her mouth, the car went over a big hole, and she almost bit her tongue.

"No, I bought this bag. Everything is in short supply at home. If I don't buy something to replenish it, I won't be able to get by."

Xie Jinghao: "."

Lu Mingyang: "."

Lu Mingliang: "."

The three of them looked at Shen Meng with trembling hearts. How much would it cost? Will they be able to survive in the future? ? ?
