Rebirth in the 70s: Crazy criticizing spoiled husband for being clingy
Chapter 38 Buying Grain
On the way back to the village, Wen Mubai was silent all the way.
Tang Banxia wanted to ask something several times, but looking at his cold side face, she couldn't bear it.
Inexplicably, she felt that Wen Mubai didn't want to mention the past events and people.
This silence lasted until Wen Mubai returned home. He smiled softly and said, "Ban Xia, I'm going out tonight. You can lock the door at home."
Tang Banxia glanced at him and said, "Okay, you should also pay attention to your safety."
Wen Mubai nodded and carried the box back to the house. As for the box, he had no intention of opening it from beginning to end.
For some reason, Tang Banxia suddenly felt uncomfortable. He stood there for a moment, shook his head, and went to the infirmary.
"Tang Zhiqing."
Hu Chunhua and Hu Xiayu saw Tang Banxia and came forward.
"Are there any patients today?" Tang Banxia asked as he walked.
The two shook their heads.
"Have you mastered the medicinal properties I taught you last time?"
"Understood." Hu Xiayu quickly agreed.
Tang Banxia entered the room and smiled slowly: "Okay, I'll test you."
Hu Xiayu looked eager to try, and Hu Chunhua was also looking forward to it.
"What are the habits of honeysuckle?"
“…”
This test lasted only one hour. "Not bad." Tang Banxia praised: "You worked hard."
Hu Xiayu and Hu Chunhua were as happy as anything after receiving this compliment, and their faces turned red.
Looking at Tang Banxia with shining eyes.
Being looked at like this, Tang Banxia felt better and pointed out the problem between the two of them.
Then, in front of the two of them, he processed the medicinal materials brought back in the morning.
Hu Chunhua and Hu Xiayu squatted nearby and watched intently. Hu Dashan was passing by outside and couldn't help but raise his lips when he saw this scene.
The afternoon passed quickly under Tang Banxia's teaching.
As soon as the sun set, she locked up the infirmary and went home.
At night, Wen Mubai slept until twelve o'clock. After dressing up, he climbed over the wall and went out. He did not come back until five o'clock in the morning when it was already dawn.
"Why is it so late today?" Tang Banxia asked worriedly.
Wen Mubai took off the backpack and revealed the contents: "There are a lot of things today, so it's a little late."
"Huo, such a big pig leg!" Tang Banxia was shocked when he saw what was in the basket, "Can we still get pigs in the next village?"
This pig looks like a domestic pig at first glance, and its fur is all white.
Wen Mubai winked at her: "Yes, he ran down the mountain."
Tang Banxia understood: "Is there any danger?"
"Don't worry." Wen Mubai said as if he was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes: "If there is danger, I will be from above. I just make a living."
"Okay." Tang Banxia said: "But you have to promise me that if something goes wrong, you must withdraw in time. No amount of good things can compare to you."
Hearing this, Wen Mubai's eyes and brows were filled with tenderness. He rubbed the back of Tang Banxia's hand: "Okay, I will listen to you and I will not put myself in danger."
Tang Banxia then gave him a smile and carried the basket into the house: "The weather is still hot, so the meat can't just be left like this. It just so happened that everyone was sharing the food in the drying area today. I will cure the meat. Later, It’s convenient when you need to eat.”
"It's all up to you." Wen Mubai said.
"It's done. Don't worry about it. Go and rest." Tang Banxia pushed Wen Mubai into the house.
After watching him fall asleep, he came out to deal with the pig leg again.
The pig leg that Wen Mubai brought back weighed more than ten kilograms with the meat and bones. She chopped off the pig's trotters, picked off the meat on the bones, and then threw the big bone into the pot to make bone soup.
She salted all the remaining meat and hung it on the roof.
When Wen Mubai woke up, he was greeted by ten thousand hot bone soup noodles with a golden poached egg on top.
My heart instantly softened into a ball.
"Daughter-in-law, have you eaten?"
Tang Banxia nodded: "Eat, this is for you."
Wen Mubai stopped being polite and started to talk loudly.
After a busy night, his stomach was already empty, and now he only had a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach.
Fortunately, after such a long time, Tang Banxia had some understanding of his appetite. After he finished eating, he immediately gave him a second bowl.
After the second bowl, Wen Mubai felt full.
He stretched out his slimy body and got out of bed: "Hasn't the village started distributing food yet?"
"It started a long time ago." Tang Banxia put away the bowls and chopsticks: "It started not long after you got home."
"That's what I was thinking. We don't have much work points anyway. It's not like we have to squeeze in with others. It's the same if we go later." Tang Banxia said very bachelorly.
Wen Mubai agreed very much: "That's right."
Tang Banxia glanced at him sideways: "Since you're awake, let's go. I guess the food sharing session is coming to an end."
"I also plan to buy some food from the village. We have to hurry up. If there isn't much left, it will be a problem."
During the annual grain distribution, families in the village who do not have enough to eat can borrow grain from the village on credit and make up for it with work points in the coming year.
Tang Banxia and Wen Mubai were educated youths, and their work points were not much. At this time, they could make a compromise and use money to buy food.
It’s just that after the summer and autumn harvests, food becomes cheaper and there are more varieties, making it easier to buy.
The food she and Wen Mubai exchanged for their work was definitely not enough to eat, so they had to take advantage of this time to buy some food.
When the two of them arrived at the drying ground, the team for sharing grains had come to an end, but the drying ground was still busy with people coming and going, making it very lively.
The adults were chatting with each other with smiles on their faces, the children were laughing and playing, and the old people were showing their simple smiles. It was a grand scene of a good harvest.
Tang Banxia walked through the crowd and reached the end of the queue. When he met people he met, he exchanged greetings with them.
Soon, it was Tang Banxia's turn.
Accountant Hu was responsible for sharing the grain. Hu Dashan and the village scorekeeper Liu Daqing saw Tang Banxia. Accountant Hu greeted him enthusiastically: "Tang Zhiqing, are you here to share the grain?"
"Uncle Accountant." Tang Banxia walked up to Accountant Hu and said, "Please calculate the work points between me and Wen Zhiqing."
Accountant Hu took the notebook and flipped through it: "Yes."
"Tang Zhiqing, you have a total of 432 work points. After deducting the grain that the village gave you on credit when you first came here, you have a total of 276 work points. Wen Zhiqing has a little more than you. He has a total of 654 work points. The two of you add up to 930 work points. , Tang Zhiqing, how do you plan to exchange for food?"
Accountant Hu is very enthusiastic.
Tang Banxia thought for a while: "Replace one hundred catties of cabbage, one hundred catties of potatoes, fifty catties of radishes, and replace the rest with sweet potatoes."
Nowadays, a full day's work points for a strong laborer are ten points. She and Wen Mubai combined can't keep up with a strong laborer, and they don't know how much they can exchange for.
As Tang Banxia reported the numbers, Accountant Hu moved his hands on the abacus: "The rest can be exchanged for forty kilograms of sweet potatoes."
Tang Banxia nodded and said: "In addition, I will buy another one hundred catties of peanuts, three hundred catties of corn, one hundred catties of wheat, and thirty catties of soybeans. Uncle accountant, can you please calculate how much it will cost?"
"Corn is four cents a pound, three hundred pounds is twelve yuan, wheat is ten cents a pound, one hundred pounds ten dollars, soybeans are ten cents a pound, thirty pounds three six dollars, peanuts are more expensive, thirty cents a pound. One hundred catties is thirty yuan, a total of fifty-five and six yuan."
Accountant Hu is indeed an experienced accountant with many years of experience, and he is very quick in calculating accounts.
Tang Banxia nodded and scanned around. Seeing that there was nothing needed, he paid happily: "Uncle Accountant, please order."
Accountant Hu took it, counted it, and gave it to Hu Dashan to count again before saying, "Just right."
After the money and goods were settled, Tang Banxia asked Wen Mubai to move the grain.
Wen Mubai was also smart. He borrowed a cart early and waited aside. After weighing the food, he loaded it onto the cart. After a while, the cart was full.
Many people noticed the news on their side. Seeing Tang Banxia spend a lot of money buying food, I don't know how many people felt uncomfortable, and they couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks...
