But looking at it now, Xia Yao and Lu Jing were clearly staying at home, they just didn't go to work.
And looking at Xia Yao's pale face, Aunt Guihua couldn't speak even more when it came to her mouth.
Xia Yao coughed violently again. They made a fortune after selling the cloth last time, but now the supplies are scarce. If they go to the commune to buy meat every day, it will attract the attention of other people, so the two of them thought of going Go hunting in the mountains.
Who knew that this back and forth would still attract the attention of interested people.
Xia Yao mentally scolded the person who reported him secretly, and then said weakly: "I'm sick, but my family doesn't have much money, so I thought of asking Lu Jing to go to the mountain to pick some herbs for me."
"Auntie, you also know that although we shared some money last time, a family of four is spending money everywhere. If we don't use it sparingly, it won't be enough."
After hearing this, Aunt Guihua nodded repeatedly: "That's right, don't we have to use it sparingly?"
"Which family didn't go up the mountain to pick some honeysuckle and come back to make tea?" When Aunt Guihua spoke, she raised her voice deliberately so that everyone could hear her.
In fact, most of the people in the Qingshui Brigade are kind, especially to the Lu family. Which of their families has not received favors from Mr. Lu? Except for rare white-eyed wolves like the Tian family, no one wants to make trouble for the Lu family.
But it is also human nature to watch the excitement. The brigade does not have any entertainment activities, so it is not allowed to come and take a look at the excitement.
Now let’s talk about it and everyone will start talking about it.
"What a black heart! Going up the mountain to pick herbs is just speculation! Then there are people in our brigade who are laying traps on the mountain to catch rabbits!"
"That's right, I'm afraid it's the Tian family who is causing trouble again! This family is really evil. Master Lu should not have saved them back then! If he hadn't given them food, Master Lu wouldn't have been so miserable."
Everyone murmured in low voices, expressing their sympathy for the Lu family and Xia Yao.
Xia Yao felt relieved when he saw that his goal was achieved.
As soon as Aunt Guihua left, she looked at Lu Jing: "Is Tian Dashan reporting behind his back?"
Speaking of this, Xia Yao's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "Tian Dashan is really not a thing!"
Sooner or later, she would let Tian Dashan have a taste of these things!
However, after being silent for a moment, Lu Jing slowly shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not Tian Dashan."
Xia Yao's pupils tightened, and he heard Lu Jing say: "Tian Dashan doesn't have the courage to do it every day. The last time he caused trouble in the chicken farm, he made many people dissatisfied. In a short time, he will not be so stupid again." On the cusp of the storm.”
"Who is that?" Xia Yao pinched his chin, his eyes suddenly brightened, "I know! There is another person who will be watching us!"
"Xia Qingqing!"
Xia Yao raised his head sharply, his eyes sharp.
During this time, Xia Qingqing, Xu Chenghai, and Yang Xuan were tossing around, and she almost forgot about this person. In addition, the cloth fell from the sky, so she didn't pay much attention to Xia Qingqing.
Now it seems that as long as Tian Dashan didn't do this, it must have been done by Xia Qingqing!
Xia Yao snorted coldly when he thought of this.
They still have to find something to do for them, otherwise, they will be staring at her all day long!
…
Early the next morning, Xia Yao and Lu Jing, who were seriously ill, set out on the road to the county seat again.
Whenever anyone asked, Xia Yao would say that she was going to the county town to see a doctor. She was sitting in the back seat, weakly holding Lu Jing's waist, and she looked indeed very ill.
As soon as he left everyone's sight, Xia Yao became lively.
"We can't go to Rongzhou County for a short time. Let's go to Yongning County."
Xia Yao hugged Lu Jing's waist, and his warm breath continued to hit Lu Jing's back. Lu Jingfeng lowered his eyes, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and responded coldly.
"There is a black market in Yongning County, and people from the government are behind the black market."
"No, no, no!" Xia Yao waved his hand, "We are not going to the black market, we are going to the scrap collection station."
Hearing this, the bicycle stopped immediately.
"Scrap collection station?"
Lu Jing looked back at Xia Yao. Xia Yao didn't feel uncomfortable at all and nodded quickly: "Yes, the scrap collection station. I'm going to look for something there."
What can be found in the scrapyard?
Of course it’s the textbook!
The college entrance examination will resume in a few years. If we don’t prepare now, when will we? There are too many acquaintances in the county. What if someone finds her looking for textbooks? It was safest to go to the neighboring county. Among them, Yongning County, which he had never been to before, became Xia Yao's first choice.
Lu Jing looked at Xia Yao deeply, but in the end he said nothing and continued riding towards Yongning County.
Yongning County is very large, and there are many people coming and going. The people are in high spirits, and they seem to live a prosperous and energetic life.
Xia Yao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw it.
She poked Lu Jing's waist, and Lu Jing could see her doubts from her beautiful eyes without opening her mouth.
“Yongning County has a train line to Guangshi.”
This sentence is enough to answer Xia Yao's question.
Although private sales are not allowed at this time, it is legitimate for the public to do business with the public. Guangzhou has multiple production lines and a natural cornerstone for external cooperation. It has a train line to Guangzhou, and can sell things here. Sell it and you can buy things from Guangshi.
"So, there are a lot of novelties in Yongning County."
Xia Yao blinked, feeling a little moved.
"The supply and marketing cooperative in our county is the largest in nearby counties and has the most variety."
"It looks like you guys are from out of town! Don't you know that?"
Before Lu Jing could answer, an auntie nearby answered enthusiastically.
However, she glanced at the two of them curiously.
In fact, Xia Yao and Lu Jing's appearance and temperament don't look like they have never been out of the village.
Before she could think about it, Xia Yao had already held her hand enthusiastically: "I've heard for a long time that the supply and marketing cooperative in Yongning County is great! I've always wanted to see it!"! "
The aunt smiled brightly and pointed to the right, "Just go north from there and you'll reach the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Xia Yao nodded quickly and led Lu Jing over there.
Lu Jing always felt a little strange when he saw her enthusiasm for the supply and marketing cooperative.
Xia Yao came from the provincial capital of Nan Province. No matter how many things there are in Yongning County, it is impossible to compare with the provincial capital.
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Jing lowered his voice.
Xia Yao also lowered his voice.
"Yongning County is so prosperous, and the market must be quite big! Don't you want to take our brigade's cooperative to a higher level?"
Hearing Xia Yao's words, Lu Jingfeng narrowed his eyes.
His intuition told him that Xia Yao's plan was definitely not that simple.
It's just that Xia Yao kept her mouth shut this time and let Lu Jing look at her. She never said her purpose.
Supply and marketing cooperatives are easy to find. The ones outside are crowded with people.
The supply and marketing cooperatives in Yongning County are indeed different. Their facades are much larger than those in other counties, with four facades, but even so, they are still overcrowded.
Seeing this, Xia Yao's beautiful eyes rolled around.
"With so many people coming to the supply and marketing cooperative, not many can buy anything."
"Let's go check out the black market."
Xia Yao thought of the two hares in the basket on Lu Jing's back, and his smile became even brighter.
Lu Jing was silent for a while. Just now Xia Yao said that he would come to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if he could find new cooperation for the cooperative. Now he is going to the black market and the scrap collection station...
Before Lu Jing could say anything, Xia Yao slapped his head again: "That's right! I have to go to the scrap collection station to look for textbooks!"
"How about we divide our forces into two groups?" Xia Yao opened his big sincere eyes, "You go to the black market to sell hares, and I'll go to the scrap collection station to look for textbooks."
When Lu Jing heard her words, he knew that she wanted to do something else behind his back.
But it just so happened that he didn't plan to take Xia Yao with him for what he had to do.
"Be careful." Lu Jing left a few words and left.
Xia Yao hummed softly, his eyes rolling, and he already had an idea in his mind.
When she came to Yongning County this time, she was looking for textbooks and new cooperation opportunities, all on the surface. What she really wanted to find was something from the scrap collection station.
She hadn't thought about it before, but when she told Lu Jing about rehabilitating Mr. Lu, she remembered that in fact, there was a voucher left behind by Mr. Lu when he bought anti-war supplies, and it was a waste product in Yongning County. In the acquisition station.
However, when this voucher appeared, it was already the millennium. At that time, no one in the Lu family was alive except Lu Jing. When this light paper voucher floated out from an old book, it was already gone. People are not.
Thinking of this, Xia Yao became more determined in his thoughts.
She strode to the corner of the street, said a few words to an aunt, and then locked the location of the scrap collection station.
But when she arrived at the scrap collection station, she looked at the room full of newspapers and old books. She held on to the door frame and was a little dazzled.
The gatekeeper stared at Xia Yao for a while and said angrily: "I just used some newspapers to paper the wall. What other good newspapers do you want? That's all."
Xia Yao came back to his senses, smiled at the uncle, and stuffed a cigarette into his hand: "Uncle, let me choose carefully, there are two children at home, maybe I can buy some little books. Go back and show them."
The uncle frowned: "You still want to buy and exchange books?"
But after looking at the cigarettes Xia Yao gave him, he still chose to turn a blind eye: "Okay, you can choose it yourself, but you have to be careful in case you pick some books that you shouldn't... "
"Don't worry!" Xia Yao straightened his back and said seriously, "I will definitely select carefully! I must put an end to those harmful books!"
"But there are so many..." Xia Yao sighed, "I don't know how long it will take to select."
The uncle took a puff of cigarette, his face looked much better, and he nodded towards Xia Yao: "Just pick, as long as I'm still here, you can pick."
"Okay!" Xia Yao was so surprised that he almost jumped up, "Thank you, uncle!"
I never thought a cigarette could be of such great use!
She happily walked in and started searching inside.
There are just so many old books, and trying to find a receipt among them is no different than looking for a needle in a haystack.
