It's not that Su Ruyi doesn't want to help Zhang carry the basket, she still understands the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
Mainly because the modern part of her dominates, and she doesn't understand many daily habits in this world.
When I turned around, I saw Mrs. Zhang carrying two empty baskets.
Then he naturally stepped forward and took it: "Mom, I'll pick it out."
Su Ruyi felt sorry for Mrs. Zhang in her heart. She was as tired as a dog. Mrs. Zhang was at least one year older than her. How could she not be tired?
It's not made of iron.
Mrs. Zhang was naturally not polite to her daughter-in-law, so she let Su Ruyi take over the burden. She took the sweat towel from her neck and patted it on her body.
She followed slowly, as if she were a mother-in-law.
But his eyes wandered around the person in front of him.
Su Ruyi seemed to be a different person these days.
She originally thought that no matter how good a person was at pretending, they would be unable to do so after two or three days, but Su Ruyi had been pretending for nearly 10 days and it was still like this.
Could it be that when she said she wanted to live a good life that day, she really meant it?
Pooh!
Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, has not lived in vain for decades. No one will change her life!
This Su Ruyi must have some crooked idea...
But as Zhang thought about it, she became more and more unsure.
She always thought that she was a smart woman. Although she couldn't control Su Ruyi, she could almost guess what she wanted to do when she stuck her butt out.
Now--
It’s really hard to guess.
Su Ruyi walked in front, eager to look for business opportunities.
After these days of hard work, she wanted to do business even more. Between wasting her body and wasting her brain, she was willing to choose to waste her brain.
Looking back, he found that his old mother had been thrown ten meters away.
He hurriedly slowed down, secretly thanking the original owner for leaving him with a strong body.
"Mom, how much longer do we have to walk until we reach the town?"
Not surprisingly, Mrs. Zhang gave her a look of disgust.
"You've never been to this town yourself? Ask me if you have anything to ask!"
Mrs. Zhang doesn't like to go to the town because it means spending money, so she is not happy every time she goes to the town.
"I forgot, and I don't pay attention to the time usually."
Mrs. Zhang looked forward with squinted eyes and said, "Why, there are still two miles of land, just walk. It's just this one road, and you can't lose it."
Zhang's throat was thirsty and she was too lazy to speak. She walked forward with her legs upturned.
Su Ruyi changed the pole to the other shoulder and looked around the surrounding environment.
There are wastelands everywhere, covered with miscellaneous grass.
The two of them walked on this two-meter-wide dirt road, looking a little lonely.
It would be nice if I had a car.
In her previous life, she had two cars, and she developed the habit of driving out without knowing it. When she went to the store in front of the community to buy something, she couldn't wait to drive.
She had never thought about walking such a long way.
There is a donkey cart and an ox cart in the village. They usually go to town to pick up people for a penny.
Mrs. Zhang felt sorry for that penny, and she hadn't driven other people's donkey carts and ox carts for two years.
Su Ruyi was sweating profusely and exhausted. She took a breath and quickly caught up with her mother-in-law in front of her.
She thought in her mind that when she earned money, she would definitely buy a cart, whether it was a donkey cart or an ox cart, a cart would do.
Anyway, I estimate that I will often go to town to do small business in the future, so it will be convenient to have a car!
I don’t know how long I walked, but when I felt my legs couldn’t hold me any longer, I finally saw the excitement ahead.
Ping'an Town is a big town, and all villages within a radius of 50 miles are under the jurisdiction of this town.
There were more people closer to the town, so Zhang hurriedly stopped and asked Su Ruyi to quickly pull up her hair.
When a woman goes out with her hair disheveled, the entire family is lost.
Su Ruyi took out the rough wooden hairpin from her arms and quickly pulled her long hair into a bun.
Ordinary hair extensions are not a problem for her. In her previous life, in order to establish the image of a strong woman, her long hair was usually pulled up to look crisp and neat.
She doesn't know how to make a bun no matter how complicated it is.
She combed the strands of hair back from her forehead with her hands.
Plant ash is still effective, and the hair is indeed less greasy, but the effect is limited, and the ability to remove oil stains needs to be strengthened.
Also, the ends of my hair are dry. I don’t know if it’s due to the use of plant ash.
The two came to the outside of the town. A large door frame was erected outside the town, with a wooden plaque on the top reading the three characters "Peaceful Town".
There is no one guarding the door, and there is no need to pay for entry or exit.
Someone squatted beside the town gate pillar, guarding two large buckets of water, and shouted: "One penny for a bowl of water, one penny for a bowl of water——"
Su Ruyi's eyes lit up, she was here to investigate this water selling business.
It was hot today, and Mrs. Zhang was already thirsty. When she saw Su Ruyi looking at the water vendor with bright eyes, she curled her lips and felt disgusted, but she still walked over.
"Have a bowl."
Mrs. Zhang holds the money, and her heart aches every time she pays.
He took out a penny and handed it to the hawker.
"okay--"
The vendor picked up the big earthen bowl next to him, filled more than half of the bowl with a ladle, and handed it over.
Su Ruyi came over and asked, "Why don't you wash this bowl?"
She saw that the person before her was also drinking from this bowl, and put it down after finishing the drink.
The middle-aged man glanced at her with a half-smile, and said teasingly: "You are so particular, why don't you go to a teahouse and drink for three pennies a bowl! You are not the wife of a rich family!"
Mrs. Zhang didn't care so much, she raised her head and drank from the bowl. She filled half the bowl and handed the remaining half to Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi was holding the bowl. It was dirty and she couldn't tell whether it was dirty or not. She felt very uncomfortable. Men, women, old and young all used the same bowl. Maybe they didn't wash it after using it yesterday. I have to drink from the bowl with my mouth...
Mrs. Zhang felt that her pretentious appearance was very embarrassing, and she frowned and urged: "What's wrong, everyone can drink, but you can't drink? What are you worth?"
Su Ruyi had no choice but to pour out half of the bowl of water, and then drank the remaining half of the bowl of water at the spot where the water was poured out.
The taste of this water is not comparable to the smell of the well water in their village, and it is even worse than the smell of the well water in her space.
Maybe it was because there was too much dust and there was an earthy smell in my mouth after drinking it.
She was confident that the water selling business could be done.
When returning the bowl, he asked by the way: "Uncle, are you from this town?"
The man took the bowl back without looking at her, "It's not from the town, is it from your village?"
Su Ruyi: "..."
People who choke on others when they open their mouths are really annoying.
Mrs. Zhang from the front asked her to follow quickly.
The town was still very prosperous, and everything was sold on the roadside. Su Ruyi was curious and looked around as she walked.
Mrs. Zhang, however, ran straight to the grain store without looking sideways.
When I arrived at the grain store, I asked the shopkeeper for old rice and noodles.
Not only was the noodles turned black and yellow, but there were also worms on it, and it tasted wrong in the mouth.
But really cheap.
A dou of old rice costs 40 cents, and a dou of old noodles costs 35 cents.
It's ten or twenty yuan cheaper than normal.
I bought a dou each of old rice and old noodles, and two more dou of sorghum noodles for 25 cents, which were black and scratchy and very rough.
These can feed a whole family for less than half a month, two meals a day, enough to make them three-thirds full.
After buying Zhang's, I was in a hurry to go back and didn't want to spend any more time here.
