Bai Fumei in the 70’s

In the evening, Tie Zhu came riding his big golden deer bike.

There is a parcel behind his bike. He called He Songbai out and handed it to him.

"This is... the package of Teacher Gu in the bullpen. His family sent him some money, so let me give it to you." He scratched his head and said.

"It seems that it is not good for him now."

Liang Tiezhu also knew Gu Huaijin, and was sympathetic to what happened to him, but he knew that the money was left with him, and it was estimated that it would cause trouble.

"And this is the money and tickets from sister-in-law's snacks that she asked me to sell." He handed over a stack of paper tickets, a total of fifteen yuan plus fifteen industrial vouchers.

Why are they sold so much?

Liang Tiezhu is not the honest man like his brother. He knows that this stuff is delicious and attracts many people. Whoever gives more money, he sold it to that person, so it almost sold for a "sky-high price" one yuan for half a pound. If it is not for the industrial tickets, probably he could even sold it for two yuans.

He Songbai took a yuan from his pocket and handed it to Tiezhu.

Tie Zhu said shyly, "Hey, Brother, I really don't need money."

"Sister-in-law told me that I could take some mango snacks for me to go back to eat."

"I don't have to say that this thing is delicious. My wife loves mangoes the most."

He Songbai handed him a cigarette and raised his eyebrows, "Your wife?"

Liang Tiezhu said, "My mother told me about the engagement, I will have the wedding wine next year, it is not wife yet."

The smile was so bright that even He Songbai, who has a girlfriend, was disgusted.7

He remained silent for a long time, and said, "Then you have to do the job well. If you don't do it well, just go home and farm."

Liang Tiezhu looked forward to it and said happily, "I haven't saved enough money to have big fat kids, how will I go home and farm the land."

This determined energy is like having a baby already.

He Songbai walked to the kitchen without saying a word. He wrapped a bag of mango rolls with oiled paper and brought it back to Tiezhu. The large bag weighed at least two pounds.

Liang Tiezhu carried this heavy mango snack and couldn't help but blush. He is a little soft for such an expensive snacks.

He Songbai patted his shoulder, "Go back and be careful."

Tiezhu tightened his hand on the snack and jumped into the bike. With a wave of his hand, he soon disappeared.

He Songbai carried Teacher Gu's package and money and went to the bullpen.

Teacher Gu is picking cow dung with a dustpan and moving it into the field to make base fertilizer. The autumn harvest is over, and soon they will start planting late rice again. Every day Teacher Gu picked up cow dung and pig manure, and his shoulders were all bled and strangled with bleeding marks. The sweat from the body on a hot day became salt stains and spilled into the wound, making it swollen and painful. The pain could made him scream.

"Your stuff." He Songbai said briefly, pressed the money under the package, and turned away.

"He's second, He's second! Hey..."

Gu Huaijin whispered in a low voice.

He Songbai's temple suddenly jumped with pain, and he said with a black face, "I told you, don't be so loud. What do you want to say so loud?"

If he didn't know that he is an intellectual, he will think he was a rogue!

Gu Huaijin picked up the parcel on the ground and estimate it around ten kilograms. He gave all the money to He Songbai.

"Take the money, and count the rewards you gave me for the work." He carried the parcel into the forage-cutting slot and cut open the carton.

Inside is a pack of solid and thick quilts, the winter in the south is no as good than the north. It was cold and wet, and the mountain was so cold that people shivered.

But this was a parcel from a few months ago, and it was not opened until the hot autumn season, which is no longer useful. Gu Huaijin's eyes are suddenly hot.

He Songbai said, "I didn't do much work for you."

"That point is not worth that much money, you hide it yourself."

The homesickness that Gu Huaijin had just felt suddenly disappeared.

He mumbled and said, "Do you have any food for me at noon?"

"If there is left, I will give you money to buy your leftovers every day, I want to eat."

The food that Gu Huaijin had eaten today was mixed with soybeans sauce. There was no meat but the sauce had a fragrant flavour. It looked like it was really leftover.

He Songbai heard the word "leftovers" and corrected him seriously, "It's not leftovers, it's clean, and it's especially prepared for you."

Gu Huaijin stuffed the money into He Songbai's pocket, "Forget it, not every day. If you have a free time at noon, give me a bowl of rice to eat, and the money is yours."

He Songbai did not agree, but knew that the girlfriend might scold him for being careful. He was enough to worry her, and if she was the one who delivered the meal at noon, he was not sure if she would stand under the eaves and stared.

If she wants to send it every day, what's going to happen?

"No, I'm going to work."

Gu Huaijin saw that the young man didn't even want him to continue entanglement, and ran faster than the rabbit.

He sighed and murmured when the person went further,

"It's no wonder that the poor boy is so poor and ignorant. I'll find her."1

In the past, he couldn't sleep just by smelling the fragrance of vegetables, but the taste was even more worrying. A spoonful of fermented black bean sauce can be so delicious, Gu Huaijin couldn't imagine how fragrant the meaty meal at noon was.

Gu Huaijin is not ashamed of the idea of ​​wanting to eat meat. He has never done hard work before, so he can just eat some tofu and vegetables. But now every day he dig pigweed, pick up manure and plow the field, sooner or later this old bone will die in the field.

He urgently needs to add some nutrients to strengthen his physique.

Soon, he waited for the opportunity.

Early the next morning, he heard footsteps near the bullpen.

Zhao Lanxiang made all the loach caught by Sanya into deep-fried loach. After deep-frying, the outer is charred and the inner is tender, then cut into strips and marinated in the sauce until soft and tender to make a loach crisp. It tastes like a crispy fish and it tastes delicious with rice and porridge. The price of this snack is cheaper than meat products, but the taste is no different from eating meat, plus the rich and mellow taste of the secret sauce itself, it is very good with the meal.

She intends to sell this loach crisp sauce for one piece for five catties. Because the price of loach is low, almost no one wants to eat it. The cost is terribly low. But it's meat at any rate. Who knows it's a loach when it's fried and tender?

Gu Huaijin stood up from the straw pile and stared at Zhao Lanxiang with a pair of energetic eyes.

Zhao Lanxiang was feeling uncomfortable being stared at by him, and stopped the bike.

Gu Huaijin just said, "Thank you for the meal yesterday."

Zhao Lanxiang put her face aside and said quietly, "It's none of my business, it's He second's own gift to you."

Gu Huaijin hesitated and said, "Can I give you money for a leftover meal?"

He said that he took out a ten yuan bill.

"I need some nutrition, otherwise I can't live."

Zhao Lanxiang heard this old man's serious "selling miserable", the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.2

"You don't have to deliver it every day. If I can get a bit of meat on the other end of the day it would be good, or if you don't have any meat, just like the gravy at noon yesterday."

Gu Huaijin has not heard Zhao Lanxiang's reply after a while, and his eyes were lost.

Zhao Lanxiang didn't give a definite answer. She said, "Go back and ask Brother He whether he will agree, I can't make the decision. Well, I have to leave now."

Gu Huaijin only felt a little choked.

It was the poor boy who refused to agree so that he would come to this little girl.
