After Qi Gang left, Gu Mingtang was packing her things, but unexpectedly found that there were two more things in the cabinet where she kept towels and soap.
A plaid handkerchief and a gauze scarf printed with magnolia flowers.
This is not her thing, Gu Mingtang thought, 99% of it was put in by Lu Liangzhou.
Lu Hui didn't even know, otherwise, he would have told her long ago.
Handkerchiefs are very beautiful. In this era, girls who can afford it will basically carry one in their pocket, such as plaid ones, and some are used to tie ponytails.
This man carried it all the way back and never gave it to her. Maybe he didn't have time, or he never made up his mind whether to give it to her, so he simply stuffed it at the bottom of the cabinet.
Today we are not looking through things, she can't see them yet.
In the afternoon, Captain Zhou and Accountant Wang came.
Without going into the house, he told Gu Mingtang in the yard that the brigade headquarters was short of a female director and asked her when she planned to go to the city. If she didn't go soon, she could give it a try for a few days.
Gu Mingtang was very surprised.
"Why did you think of me being the women's director?" Then he felt funny and started laughing.
If someone else does it, and it's reliable, and she is asked to do it, will anyone be convinced? This is different from the snow disaster.
At that time, she was just calling people temporarily.
"The snow disaster and my Zong Ming have shown that your child is very smart and capable. If you put your heart in the right place, you can do anything well."
"Actually, the female director also has to work in the fields with the members. If anything happens in the village, you have to run around. You don't get paid, but you are given work points." Accountant Wang said more honestly.
Captain Zhou said, "Think it over carefully, and don't underestimate the Women's Director. When you return to the city, Liangzhou will definitely arrange a job for you. Then they asked you what you did before, and you said you were the Women's Director. Then it’s better than dry balengzi farming, right?”
This Gan Balengzi made the other two people laugh, but Gu Mingtang was moved in his heart.
It doesn't matter if she takes out some towels and soaps and resells them now. These people, including Lu Liangzhou, are so exhausted that they can't think of any space for her.
Um, right in the yard.
But if you go to college, it would be really scary.
It cannot be said that she, Gu Mingtang, is illiterate, but her grades are very poor and she only has a primary school diploma. Although the conditions for the exam this year are relaxed, after all, it is the college entrance examination. Where can any primary school graduates get into college?
Even in technical secondary school, it was not easy for her to pass the exam.
In the future, in order to make your academic qualifications look good, you can actually choose to be trained by a TV university or an employer.
"Then I'll think about it." Gu Mingtang didn't agree immediately.
"Okay, don't worry, you can just write to me after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Although he didn't enter the house, Gu Mingtang got a piece of soap for each of them, "It's for Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhou. It was brought back from Liangzhou last time."
The two declined, and Gu Mingtang said directly, "Hurry up and take it. If someone sees it, it's time to say I bribed you."
"No wonder it looks so good. The things sold in this big city are just different. Your Aunt Zhou will definitely not be willing to use them."
"Yes, this is my first time seeing you too."
Accountant Wang was a little embarrassed.
But I still put it in my pocket smoothly. You must know that the opportunity must not come back again. Such a good thing is not easy to come by.
Anyway, Gu Mingtang said he wouldn't leave for the time being.
Then any favors exchanged in the future can always be repaid.
The next day, Gu Mingtang was going to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities, but she didn't go there by herself. She left the two children at her parents' house. She went with Gu Mingli. On the way, she met Xiaoxue from her uncle's house, and she changed her mind. It became three people.
The road was still not easy to walk, one foot was deep and the other was shallow, and it took more than an hour to walk.
However, the commune's supply and marketing cooperatives still have a relatively complete range of goods.
Tobacco, wine, sugar, tea, and daily necessities. Farmers without money can exchange eggs for window paper, salt, matches, and lamp oil. This can be regarded as serving the people.
There are a few more books on the shelf on the right.
Gu Mingtang saw a book named Xiao Shiyilang.
It had been left there for a long time and had gathered dust.
Gu Mingtang bought it for three yuan and fifty cents.
There are also short-format books for sale, but there are almost more than 100 short-format books by Lu Hui and Xueyan.
I only chose two books that I didn’t have at home.
Then I went to the needle and thread store and bought some commonly used threads and a pack of needles. These are free of charge. Those who do need tickets are all in short supply.
Gu Mingli pointed at the silk hair flower, then touched the hair tie with beautiful beads on her braid, lowered her voice, "Sister, I used to think they were pretty..." After saying that, she rubbed Gu Mingtang coquettishly. .
Xiaoxue looked straight at the silk flower, and then looked away for a long time.
The money her mother gave her was to buy matches and refined salt.
She glanced at Gu Mingtang and Gu Mingli's braids, her expression still a little gloomy.
Gu Mingtang also bought matches and batteries. Seeing that the thermos bottle was new, he also bought one, and two enamel basins.
There are also Pagoda Candy, I have to give some to the kids.
I saw the bald cake. It was delicious, but it was a pity that I needed a ticket. However, the saleswoman was so kind. She didn’t know Gu Mingtang, so she thought she was a city dweller visiting to buy something for her relatives. She glanced around and whispered He said, "I have two kilograms of pastry tickets. How about giving me eight anise?"
That must be no problem. This is not a place for bargaining. The salesperson gives the real price.
After weighing two kilograms of bald cakes, and when she wanted to buy plaid cloth, Gu Mingli hurriedly grabbed Gu Mingtang, "Sister, I can't buy it. I can't take it back if I buy it again." At the same time, she was really envious that her second brother-in-law was so kind and didn't care. The elder sister spends money. Obviously, all the money in the family is in the hands of the second elder sister.
It was like this before and it is like this now.
Gu Mingtang found that shopping really made people happy. She was in a good mood and said to Xiaoxue, "Don't stare at the silk flowers. I still have hair flowers at home. I will give you a pair when I get back."
Xiaoxue's face turned red with joy, "Really? You won't lie to me."
Gu Mingli, "Believe it or not."
The socks on her feet were given by her second sister.
Xiaoxue stretched out her hand, "Come on, Tangtang, I'll help you carry your things."
Gu Mingtang was not polite and asked her to help carry a small canvas bag. Everything he was not afraid of touching was put into the large canvas bag. Then he saw the folded lanterns. There were only three left. He quickly chose two red ones. One baby per child.
After thinking about it, I bought the remaining one and gave it to Chunya.
I bought another pack of small candles to put in lanterns.
Looking back now, Mingtang didn't buy it. It's not that he couldn't carry it, but there was no place to put it.
This time, it cost Gu Mingtang a full twenty-eight yuan.
It’s as much as a worker’s salary for one month…
