There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 676 Almost Can't Go

From this day on, Zhou Jiao got to know their respective mothers by relying on these little girls, and bought a batch of mountain products and local specialties from those old ladies.

In the end, one family introduced the other, and soon many people poured all the eggs they had saved at home to Zhou Jiao. It's really too late to earn work points when going to the county seat, and the price is one cent higher than the purchase station, so they can't wait to tell the neighbors to come quickly.

During the journey, Zhou Jiao didn't leave the village even a single step. Even for lunch, an enthusiastic old woman brought her a bowl of polenta and two flatbreads to satisfy her hunger.

It was approaching five o'clock in the afternoon, seeing more and more baskets of sacks on the side of the road, Zhou Jiao almost cried. It's really self-inflicted! How can she take it back? In this day and night, it is impossible for her to play magic tricks.

She underestimated how much stock a village of two thousand people had. No, there are still people who keep delivering goods. With the idea of ​​breaking the pot and smashing it, Zhou Jiao simply refused to refuse anyone, and readily took the borrowed scale to weigh and settle the payment.

As for how to take it back, she didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, far away from Lin Quan's village in the two directions of the sky, the south and the north, we can only wait for the dark to act.

Leaning against the big tree, Zhou Jiao continued to buy things, while stealthily putting some things into the space as soon as people left, otherwise she suspected that the car would not be able to take them away after dark.

After six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun set, but there was still a smear of red in the sky. The commune members in the fields on both sides of the road started to get off work and go home for dinner.

And Zhou Jiao greeted another wave of customers. This wave of old ladies probably came from the village next door, and they rushed over in a noisy way. When Zhou Jiao agreed to give the money and send these old ladies away, the sky gradually dimmed.

Ten minutes later, when it was really dark, Zhou Jiao saw that there was no one around, so she immediately let out the car, quickly put all the goods on the ground into the space, stepped on the accelerator and ran away.

She knew very well that it wouldn't be long before the villagers would get used to going out to enjoy the cool and watch the fun after dinner, and she really couldn't leave at that time.

And when I left like this, with the sound of the car moving, many people were misled by the words I told in advance that someone would drive over to pick them up. With the cover of darkness, there was less danger.

With a anxious mood, Zhou Jiao stepped on the gas pedal all the way, and she got out of the car when she was approaching the village of Linquan. She carried a basket of about twenty eggs and hurried towards Lin's house with a piece of homemade cloth between them.

Before reaching the Lin family, a shadow of a person in the distance held a torch and shouted: Is it Jiaojiao?

When Zhou Jiao heard Aunt Lin's voice, she responded quickly.

Aunt Lin ran up to her quickly, Where have you been? I'm so anxious. I knew I was following you during the day. Oh, I almost apologized with death.

Zhou Jiao said embarrassingly: I will take the wrong way when I come back. I can't meet a car along the way. Auntie, I'm sorry to make you worry.

Well... I guess that's what happened. It's a good thing their man hasn't come back yet, otherwise things would really go wrong.

Zhou Jiao followed her to the house, raised her eyebrows in surprise, Zhang Guoqing actually felt relieved to leave her alone in a stranger's house? How strange!

Auntie, didn't uncle go up the mountain with them?

Aunt Lin took a ladle of water and poured it into the washbasin, Wipe your face quickly, let's eat first. Don't mention your uncle, that dead man has lived a long time and is about the same age as my boss. Before I came back, he threw a piece of paper. The note said that they went up the mountain to find them. Let us not worry at home.

Zhou Jiao secretly laughed. No wonder Zhang Guoqing felt relieved to stay in a stranger's house!

In the outside room, Aunt Lin brought out three plates of meat dishes, a soup, and a dozen flatbreads.

Zhou Jiao subconsciously looked around the room.

Seeing this, Aunt Lin smiled and said, No one is at home except the two of us tonight. Are you afraid, do you want to sleep with Auntie?

Zhou Jiao shook her head, It's just the two of us, why did we cook so many dishes? Auntie, you are too polite, I am too embarrassed to use my chopsticks.

Silly girl, I don't need to eat? You must be hungry all day. Eat quickly, and rest early after eating. The fastest they can go up the mountain will be down tomorrow morning.

Zhou Jiao nodded.

Are you worried that the child will not sleep well on the mountain? Aunt Lin handed her chopsticks and looked at her face, There is a wooden house on the mountain, which has everything in it. When I was young, my children often went up to the mountain with their father to stay for a few nights.

Zhou Jiao smiled at her.

You don't have to get up so early tomorrow morning, sleep a little longer. During the day, there are many little girls picking wild fruits in the south of the village. You can go there for a stroll. Tomorrow, I will let the little girl go home and go out with you.

No, I don't plan to go out these two days. I can't stand walking today, so I have to rest well. Zhou Jiao knew that she was worried that she would walk around like today.

Staying at home is boring, and walking around here will not be boring. By the way, do you want to buy some mushroom products? If you need it, go to the yard at the entrance of the village to find Aunt Miao. She is the women's director of the village. You can find her, she Will help you get it right.

Don't go to the county town to buy these things, the price there is always expensive. And in our village, there are buying and selling stations, some of which are not in good condition and can’t cost much. Aunt Miao is a good person, she knows that you are a relative of our family and will not cheat you.

Zhou Jiao nodded.

The things are weighed. Don't carry your little arms and legs by yourself. They will send them over.

The meal ended while Aunt Lin was nagging, Zhou Jiao washed her feet after returning to her room, and finally collapsed on the kang, letting out a sigh of comfort. It really shouldn't have been a busy day.

This night, without Zhang Guoqing and the child by her side, Zhou Jiao couldn't sleep soundly. She was always worried that someone would jump into the yard, and she was always paying attention to listening to whether there were wolves howling on the mountain.

She didn't wake up until three poles up the next day, and when she left the room, she realized that she was really alone in the yard. Aunt Lin had gone out, and there was still porridge and pancakes in the pot for herself.

After hastily eating Chinese food, Zhou Jiao didn't plan to go out, and was busy sorting out yesterday's harvest all afternoon. At that time, I was too busy to tidy up. Now that she is free, her obsessive-compulsive disorder has started to attack again.

When night fell again that day, Zhang Guoqing still didn't come back, Zhou Jiao knew in her heart that this guy must have taken the child with them to the mountains.

If it's really in the wooden house, Aunt Lin's words mean that the distance is not far away, why don't you go down the mountain first? In addition, Lin Quan, an accountant, also asked for leave. It didn't take much thinking to understand that these men had gone out to prostitute.

This was indeed the case, until the afternoon of the appointment with the He brothers, a group of people happily came down from the mountain. And it wasn't just a few of them, there was a large team behind them, I don't know when these people entered the mountain, but they killed a lot of prey, causing the whole village to fall into a sea of ​​joy.

Zhou Jiao looked at her son with bright eyes, and excitedly told her son what she had seen and heard on the mountain, and she had a headache. This kid won't be turned into a wild boy by his father!
