Xiao Xiangdong was looking for someone to help him repair his old house and make furniture. Before leaving, Meng Xiaoman gave him twenty yuan.

"Well, the labor cost for repairing the roof and the money for making furniture. I don't have many work points, and the food is from the public. It's not easy to use food to offset it, so just give me the money."

Xiao Xiangdong shook his head and refused, "This is your money, you keep the flowers, I can solve it."

Meng Xiaoman knew that he had no money in his hand, "What's yours, mine, this is ours. Just take it."

She put the money into his hand without any explanation, "I forgot to tell you that I have to take care of the money in our family. From now on, all the money you make must be given to me, and all the money you spend must come from me!"

Xiao Xiangdong knew that she was afraid that he would be embarrassed to ask for money and spend money, so he said this. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to the boss."

Meng Xiaoman smiled and glanced at him, "I told you not to call me the boss. It's so ugly."

"Okay, what's it called?"

"Just call me by name."

"Okay, just listen to Xiaoman."

After Xiao Xiangdong left, Meng Xiaoman saw that the sunshine was just right, so he packed up the thick clothes in the cabinet and prepared to dry them in the sun. It was getting colder day by day, so he could wear them soon.

After drying my own, I planned to dry it for Xiao Xiangdong, only to find that he only had a shabby military coat and no cotton trousers or jacket.

Even the single clothes are only two: an old military uniform and a Chinese tunic suit.

"I knew I would have bought some cloth for him last time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative." Meng Xiaoman muttered.

How about going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cloth while we deal with Xiao Daqing?

The next day, Meng Xiaoman went to the town on the pretext of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth. When he arrived in the town, he kept waiting for Xiao Daqing at the entrance of the town.

According to Zhang Dongliang's news, Xiao Daqing has been loose recently and comes to the town's underground casino to gamble almost every day.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Xiao Daqing came over slowly, accompanied by an acquaintance, Zhang Jiawang.

After the incident between Xiao Xiangdong and Meng Xiaoman, the relationship between the two became even better. Zhang Jiawang has four sisters in his family, and he is the only one who carries on the family line. He has more money than Xiao Daqing.

Underground casinos are run by people, and only those who are familiar with each other and know the basics will be allowed to join. This is also to avoid being reported and caught.

Xiao Daqing introduced Zhang Jiawang easily.

There is no reason to refuse a little fat sheep.

The tracking skills that Meng Xiaoman trained during the apocalypse came into play at this time.

She took out a bamboo basket, put two handfuls of side dishes on it, put a blue-gray headscarf on her head, and wore a loose coat. Her back was hunched, her shoulders were slumped, and her head was lowered. She looked like a little old lady.

Xiao Daqing and Zhang Jiawang walked into a private house arm in arm.

Meng Xiaoman did not leave, but waited at the door for another ten minutes. When she saw the two of them being led out by a short man, the three of them looked around cautiously, then zigzagged into another alley. We entered a bungalow together.

Meng Xiaoman waited at the corner for about 20 minutes. When no one came out again, she went to the police station.

For double protection, she also went to the Revolutionary Committee.

After reporting the case, Meng Xiaoman walked away quickly, changed her clothes, and waited to see the results on the way back from the arrest.

Now that the work style is strict, Xiao Daqing will definitely not be able to get out of the labor camp within half a year.

Finally he got angry.

By the time people from the police station and revolutionary committee caught a bunch of gamblers and wanted to thank the whistleblower, Meng Xiaoman had already gone to the supply and marketing cooperative.

She used all the remaining ten feet of cloth tickets to buy dark gray cloth, planning to make a cotton coat for Xiao Xiangdong.

Xiao Xiangdong is taller and requires more fabric than her, and cotton pants and jackets require more fabric than ordinary shirts and pants.

Meng Xiaoman planned to take apart her own single clothes of the same color and add them together, otherwise the ten feet of cloth would definitely not be enough.

Anyway, her clothes are enough.

After buying the cloth, Meng Xiaoman went for a walk in the woods outside the town. She remembered that the book said that there was a small black market there, and the heroine often bought and sold things there.

After searching for a while, Meng Xiaoman finally saw a few sneaky people in a hidden grove.

Meng Xiaoman asked around, but no one was selling cotton.

In the end, it was still a skinny guy who said he could get three pounds, but the price was more expensive. No tickets are required, but the price is twice that of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Meng Xiaoman agreed with him to pick it up in three days before taking a mule cart back to Qinghe Brigade.

After lunch, Meng Xiaoman went to work with the Xiao family.

After two or three days of rest, it was almost done.

After the team change, she and the Xiao family were in the same production team.

When I went to pick up farm tools, I saw the girl sitting with Xiao Xixi at the banquet, Zhao Xiaohe, the scorekeeper of their production team.

Xiao Xixi walked forward happily when she saw her, and naturally held her arm: "Sister Xiaohe, my mother is going to make me a new pair of shoes. You are good at embroidery, can you help me embroider it on the shoe?" Flowers?.”

"Okay, what do you want?"

"Flowers or butterflies are fine. As long as they are embroidered by you, they will all look good. You have the most skillful hands." As he said this, he glanced at Meng Xiaoman with a hint of disgust.

Meng Xiaoman didn't understand what this had to do with her, and she didn't ask her if she could embroider butterflies.

In fact, let alone butterflies, she can also embroider grasshoppers and cockroaches.

"Then let's wait until tomorrow. Let's share the food and rest tomorrow. I'll go find you in the afternoon. It's just right. I haven't seen Brother Xiang Dong for a long time..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth as if he realized something, Qingxiu His little face turned a little pale.

Meng Xiaoman glanced at her thoughtfully, and when she saw her eyes dodge, he knew that this man must have something to do with Xiao Xiangdong.

However, she had no intention of asking her. Of course, she had to learn about this kind of thing from Xiao Xiangdong's mouth.

Even if there was anything between the two of them, it should have ended from the moment Xiao Xiangdong married her.

Even if she and Xiao Xiangdong are a couple in name only, they must ensure each other's solemnity and loyalty.

This is her principle.

The scorekeeper also had to work, and Zhao Xiaohe was in the same group as her.

Compared with Zhao Xiaohe who has been paying attention to her secretly, Meng Xiaoman is very worried. Just focus on the ground beneath your feet.

The world is big and food is the biggest thing, but work points are still very important.

As a person who has experienced the apocalypse, she cannot lose to these contemporary people.

She didn't know if it was because she had had a good rest these past few days, but she obviously felt a lot more powerful.

Although her health improved a lot, she did not work hard and kept working at a moderate speed.

The work belongs to everyone, and the body belongs to you. This is the way to survive under the collective system.

Xiao's mother originally thought that Meng Xiaoman, a person from the city, would definitely not be able to do farm work. She was looking forward to it, but now she used an excuse to scold her.

Unexpectedly, after secretly observing her for a while, he almost cut off his foot and failed to catch Meng Xiaoman. Meng Xiaoman works well, not like a novice at all. Although his speed is not very fast, it is not too slow either.

The quality is also pretty good, so I can’t find anything wrong with it.

This made all the words she had prepared get stuck in her throat.
