Gu Mingtang went to the grocery store and bought a pack of orange candies and two pounds of pork belly. Eggs also required a ticket. She could only buy half a pound of eggs. She also bought a few things that the brigade supply and marketing cooperative did not have.
Later, I went to the pharmacy and bought a few packs of lice medicine.
After placing them separately, I took Uncle Liu's carriage back home and took out a pair of small black cotton leather shoes and the small red leather boots from the space, plus thermal underwear, four pairs of socks, and two down jackets. Everything was put in the cabinet.
After drinking a large bowl of hot water, Gu Mingtang made himself egg noodles, which were the noodles that Lu Liangzhou brought back last night.
Wrapped in newspaper, it weighs about seven or eight pounds.
By the way, Lu Liangzhou is good at cooking.
The hot soup noodles made last night tasted much better than the ones she made.
After eating, she boiled a large pot of hot water and then took a serious look at the house.
This home is so simple, you can really see it at a glance, there are only two rooms, one for living and one for cooking.
There was no furniture, except for two red-lacquered wooden cabinets on the north wall of the bedroom, a table of the Eight Immortals on the west wall, portraits of great men on the wall, and a reed mat on the kang.
The walls and roof of the house were not only mottled, but also dark. They were really shabby and old.
But now she can’t flip the cover. What if she moves and her space escapes?
Thinking of this, she stood at the door, entered the space while she was alone at home, and began to take stock of the things in the space.
The space is more than fifty square meters and two meters high. The shelves she collected are placed around it, and there are many boxes piled in the middle, including all kinds of mess.
She took stock of the sanitary napkins, which seemed to last until the day they were available in the market.
There were actually a lot of compressed cotton and quilts stacked in the east corner.
There were other bedding items, all purchased at a home textile store.
I didn't want to come in before, but now I see these things, they are just piles of bills.
Gu Mingtang went out with satisfaction. When he entered the house, he started to take apart the bedding. When he was done, he soaked the quilt and pillowcases in a large wooden basin filled with hot water. The cotton cover inside was actually quite good. It could be used after flicking it, but there was no way to guarantee the contents. So, Gu Mingtang took all the cotton covers outside and threw them in the snowdrift next to the house, where they froze to death.
After that, there was a lot of rubbing. She was so strong that she wringed the sheets dry and left them outside to dry temporarily.
As soon as he turned around, he was frozen to death.
If you hit it, you can still hear the sound.
This morning, Gu Mingtang was wearing only his own clothes. After looking through them just now, he found that there weren't many of them. He wrapped them in furoshiki and put them all in the west warehouse.
Seeing that it was getting dark, she was ready to go find Li Xiaocui.
Li Xiaocui is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family, several years older than her.
At the beginning, she took Gu Mingtang to play a few times. After tasting the benefits, Gu Mingtang went to find her elder brother Gu Qingshan who also loved playing.
I thought I would win, but I didn't expect that the two of them together lost more than 800.
Even Gu Qingshan now has an IOU of more than 100 yuan.
The two of them together cost exactly three hundred yuan.
According to the prices of this era, this is a huge sum of money.
The Gu family is very poor and she has no job. How dare the creditor Li Xiaocui lend money to them?
Is it because Lu Liangzhou is behind the Gu family?
Also, Li Xiaocui is also a village woman, and her parents-in-law’s family are not rich. Is she herself so rich?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xiaocui entered the yard with his head in the air.
Gu Mingtang did not let her enter the house. Before Li Xiaocui could speak, Gu Mingtang pulled her over and lowered his voice, "My Lu Liangzhou is back. He hasn't found out that he lost all his savings, and he doesn't know that I lent you money. I didn't tell anyone." , Don’t worry about my brother, I also lied about selling the food to go to the city..."
"Wait!" Li Xiaocui stopped him.
"What happened?"
Li Xiaocui looked at Gu Mingtang. When it came to character, there was no one more annoying than her.
When it comes to looks, there is no one in the ten miles and eight villages who is prettier than her.
His eyebrows are as crescent-shaped, and his eyes are as full as autumn water. His skin color is especially fair and delicate, which is rare for rural people. His hair is thick and black, and he has a typical oval face. He has no aggressiveness. When he smiles, Gu Mingtang is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
Li Xiaocui felt something was wrong, and felt that Gu Mingtang today made her eyes red with jealousy, especially the word "going to the city".
Remembering the man's instructions, she hurriedly asked, "Are you going to the city with Lu Liangzhou?"
"Yes, so, while Lu Liangzhou is not at home, I want to get my capital back, and I still have to pay you back the money I owe you. However, I don't have any money. If you can lend it to me, let's play again tonight. A big one, I'll bring my eldest brother here too, I don't believe it, we can't beat those foreigners?"
I don’t know if it’s a plot requirement or a deliberate trick. Anyway, no one knows that Li Xiaocui lent so much money to the Gu brothers and sisters.
Gu Mingtang's eyes showed unwillingness and greed, and he sighed, "Oh, I guess you don't have any money either. Can't you go?"
"Yes, that's why I'm looking for you today. Just wait for my letter and I'll look for you after you get in touch."
Thinking of the thing that had never been done, Li Xiaocui was eager to try.
This time it was guaranteed that Gu Mingtang would lose to those foreigners.
As for Gu Qingshan, I really can't take him with me this time.
So, she asked, "But don't bring your eldest brother with you this time, do you hear me?"
"Why?"
"It's still a few old ladies who are playing this time. Why do you want to take him with you?"
Gu Mingtang just hesitated for a moment and then urged, "Hurry up and get in touch."
Li Xiaocui suppressed her excitement. When the matter was completed, the man not only gave her two hundred yuan, but also arranged for her to work as a worker in a textile factory in the city.
Gu Mingtang squinted his eyes, feeling that everything he did was a trap. If he didn't deal with it, he would be exposed sooner or later, and it would be even harder to say then.
Thinking about it, it's quite annoying.
It would be better for him to end up being cowardly and incompetent. Look how brave he is. Lu Liangzhou has been on a business trip for a month, playing cards and setting fires. Which of them is not illegal?
Gu Mingtang quietly left the yard. The northern countryside was vast and sparsely populated, and the houses were all single-family homes. There were basically no small alleys. It was difficult to follow him, especially since he squeaked when walking on the snow.
However, she still saw that the direction Li Xiaocui was going was not the Wu family, but the educated youth spot.
Educated Youth Point, the reborn heroine Han Yanan?
There used to be more than a dozen educated youths in Qingdian, but now some of them have returned to the city. Two of them have been admitted to college. One of them is Hanya Nan, and the other one has left, and Hannya is planning to leave with Lu Liangzhou.
There seemed to be only three people there now.
Gu Mingtang followed from a distance, and Li Xiaocui never thought that she would be followed.
Therefore, after it was confirmed that Li Xiaocui had entered the educated youth center, Gu Mingtang returned home.
After waiting patiently for an hour, when it was getting dark, Li Xiaocui arrived.
