"If you want both, just give me 35 yuan."

Meng Wantang also wanted to buy cotton, so she counted the money in her pocket and gritted her teeth and bought the musical instrument.

"Comrade, do you know where cotton is sold? There are many children at home, and I want to buy some cotton." Meng Wantang had actually seen a queue at the place selling cotton, and she wondered if she could go through the back door.

The salesperson asked her: "Do you have a ticket?"

"Yes, yes."

"wait a moment."

The salesperson took the ticket, looked at the money handed over by Meng Wantang, took it and walked towards the cotton salesperson.

She said a few words to the salesperson and then walked to the warehouse at the back.

After a while, he came over with a bag.

"This is fifty pounds of cotton."

Meng Wantang took the cotton and was very happy. This comrade was a good man and even asked her for money.

She took out two paper bags from her bag and placed them on the counter: "Comrade, these are the dried apricots I made myself. Take them back and try them."

Meng Wantang walked out holding the cotton in one hand and the erhu in the other.

The suona and bamboo flute were both put in her cloth bag. She put the cotton on the bicycle with great effort, tied it with a rope, put the erhu in the cloth bag, and put the cloth bag in the basket in front of her, slowly and leisurely. Riding to Jishang.

She went directly to the place where the vats and kang mats were sold, and said to the old man selling the vats: "Uncle, our family lives in Qinghe Brigade. Can you help me take the vats and these bowls to my home?"

The uncle held his pipe in his mouth and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll buy another twenty plates and ten large bowls. Can you help me take the Kang mats and baskets back as well?"

"It's all just a matter of chance, so why not?"

"Thank you so much!" Meng Wantang took out a pack of dried apricots with a smile and handed it to the old man's grandson. "This is the dried apricots I made myself. Please give it to your child to try."

The old man smiled and said to the child: "Why don't you thank your aunt quickly?"

"Thank you auntie."

"You're welcome." Meng Wantang stood up, got on his bicycle and said, "Uncle, when you get to Qinghe Brigade, just ask about Lu Qingye's family."

There are so many people coming to the market.

The road is rarely crowded.

Many people come from far away places and have no money to buy things, so they have to take their children out for shopping.

Just after the autumn harvest, this is a rare opportunity.

There probably won’t be so many people in the next episode.

It will probably take a few years until every episode has this grand occasion. At that time, the state allowed business, and the property was distributed to each household. The boss also had some money, and he didn't have to work every day.

There will be more people going to the market.

Meng Wantang rode a bicycle and deliberately went around from the other end. Just go through the other street.

She saw a lesbian who had just permed and curled her hair coming out of a barber shop. Not to mention, although the hair style looked a bit earthy, if she looked at it for a while, it still looked somewhat fashionable.

Meng Wantang was a little moved.

She was thinking about the money in her pocket and thinking that she would have to bring some brats over to have their hair shaved some other day.

It is quite expensive to shave boys' hair every day.

She has to buy a pair of scissors.

Meng Wantang rode her bike home, and Lu Caihua was shocked to see her buying so many things.

"Why did you buy so many things?"

"How many more of these things are there?"

Meng Wantang didn't feel it was too much at all, and even felt it wasn't enough.

"Sister, please pack all your things later. Don't use that old kang mat. I bought a new kang mat and it will be delivered to you later."

Lu Caihua felt that the money must be spent. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Meng Wantang say like popping beans: "I also bought a few large tanks. I need one for salted vegetables, and then I will make a water tank, and..."

Lu Caihua felt numb after hearing this.

She thought to herself how much it would cost.

Last time she heard them muttering that they had no money.

How dare you spend so much when you have no money.

"Sister, have the children's cotton clothes been cut? This is cotton. I bought fifty kilograms of it. It's snowy and cold in winter, so don't worry, make thicker ones for the children. You too!" Meng Wantang I'm really worried that Lu Caihua will save cotton and make the cotton-padded jacket thin.

Lu Caihua: "..."

She was a little dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, I made it thicker."

"Don't make it too thick. If the child can't take off his pants, it will be troublesome if he can't squat down." Meng Wantang asked a lot.

Lu Caihua untied the rope and picked up the cotton: "Clothes made of Xinhua cotton are soft, and cotton pants and jackets are also very warm. They are different from clothes and pants made of old cotton."

"Anyway, just watch and do it."

Her level of making cotton-padded clothes is average, not as good as Lu Caihua's needlework. Knitting sweaters is more suitable for her.

"Then I will knit the children's sweaters, and you will make the cotton clothes and trousers."

"Row."

Lunch is ready.

What I made was sorghum rice and water rice.

Sorghum, rice and water rice are completely inedible without some oily and watery dishes. The children are not picky eaters and are particularly easy to feed.

Meng Wantang felt sad looking at it.

She looked at the chubby little face that was already a little chubby and felt quite pleased.

She raised them all.

After dinner, the children went out to play.

Meng Wantang specially used the leftover cloth from making clothes to sew several sandbags for them. Inside were buckwheat husks, and the children took them and ran away.

Sitting in the house, you can hear the sound of a group of children playing and screaming at the gate.

Lu Caihua was sitting on the kang wadding cotton, and Meng Wantang was sitting on the other side knitting a sweater.

The two of them were still chatting: "You are also a doctor, what are you going to do with the little fat guy who keeps silent?"

Meng Wantang paused and said, "Next year or so, I will take Xiaopang to Yancheng for a checkup. Let's see if he has a vocal cord problem or a psychological problem."

"That's okay, the child is still young, so if he gets sick, he should do it as early as possible." Lu Caihua didn't dare to say anything more.

At first, people said that Xiaopang had a fever and went crazy, so he couldn't speak.

But when she looked at the child, he didn't look stupid at all. He was very well-behaved, but he just didn't like to talk.

in the afternoon.

Dispersed.

The old man and his grandson drove the bullock cart to deliver the goods.

As soon as the bullock cart entered the village, many people asked curiously: "Uncle, are you here to sell vats?"

"This is for sale, I'll deliver it to you." The old man drove the bullock cart steadily.

He has been to many places, but the road in Qinghe Brigade is the smoothest.

The members looked at the cart full of things and asked curiously: "Who bought these things?"

It didn't take long for the answer to be revealed.

It’s not just who bought it, it was all bought by one person.

"Lu Qingye's wife is also a bit of a prodigal. She buys so many things, but she can't survive?"

Miao Yinhua happened to be passing by, and when she heard this, she got angry: "Do you have eyes on your butts? Can't you see that those people buy are just guys who are living a good life?"

The people around him fell silent.

All of them are in need of confrontation.

If you don't work, you will make irresponsible remarks every day.

Habitual bugs.

"Why did you buy so many things again?"

Lu Caihua almost fainted when she saw an ox cart full of things.

Old Mrs. Ma stood at the door and said angrily: "Damn it, aren't you afraid that Lu Qingye will be divorced and go home? I have forgotten that you don't have a home anymore."

Lu Caihua was so angry that she was about to curse, but suddenly a deep voice came from next to her: "Daughter-in-law, I've paid my salary. You can buy whatever you want."
