Chapter 17
Originally, they could save money in their village, where there was an agricultural bank and a credit union.

But they don't have river sand and cement to sell, nor pebbles and steel bars to sell, these are only bought in the town.

In order to understand the prices of these things, Xiang Jin woke up with her mother early the next morning.

After making breakfast, they set off. When they left, Aunt Liao and Xiang Nan hadn't gotten up yet, and Xiang Jin's mother and daughter didn't call them, but left the food in the pot for them.

It was about ten or twenty miles away from the town. The traffic was inconvenient in the past, and they were all small roads. It was estimated that it would take more than two hours to get there just by throwing two hams.

It is still faster to walk, and if there is no load on the body, it will take longer if you go to the town with your back.

But it’s not necessary now, a road leading to the town was built at Zao’er Cliff at the junction of their Tenth and Twelfth Brigades. It was a road connecting another town to their town.

Every time they want to go to the town, they can drive at Zaoerya, and they only need to pay one yuan per person.

But there are usually only five trains a day, one is the earliest one after six o'clock in the morning, one after eight o'clock in the morning, one after eleven o'clock in the noon, and then three and five o'clock in the afternoon There are multiple trips each time, and the return trip is delayed by about half an hour for each trip.

If you miss these points in time, then you can only walk.

Or see if you can meet someone who is passing by on a motorcycle, and give someone a dollar or two to take you for a ride.

But people are generally not willing to do this kind of situation, because in this era, those who can afford motorcycles are generally relatively well-off, and they don't care about your one or two dollars.

Unless it's someone who is very familiar with you, no matter how much you wave, they will just wave their hands and drive away from a long distance.

Xiang Jin's production team is still a long way from Zaoerya, and they are all of the kind in the fields, and it takes about half an hour to walk.

If they caught up with the earliest group, their legs and feet would either be wet with dew or stained with some mud on the way from home to Zaoerya.

They are no exception today. Their legs and feet are stained with a lot of grass clippings and mud. Because they are wearing sandals, after their feet are wet with dew, they walk in a funny way. All the soles of the feet ran outside.

Xiang Jin was not used to it. She was very clean in her previous life, and there is absolutely no reason to be sloppy in this life. So when she arrived at Zaoerya, she saw that the car hadn't arrived yet, so she asked her mother, "Where can I wash my feet here?" ?”

"How can there be a foot wash here? There is no foot wash here," her mother kept looking at the direction of the minibus, with a somewhat anxious expression, for fear that it had passed the time and missed the earliest one.

Well, it’s useless to ask!

Xiang Jin looked around and found no small puddles or ditches, except for a man-made canal above their heads for pumping water during droughts.

So she climbed up the small slope to see if there was any water left there. In fact, she probably knew that there should be no hope for this weather and this small ditch, but she just couldn't bear it. His sloppy appearance.

Seeing her like this, Yang Juyun became impatient, followed her back and shouted, "Little ancestor, what are you doing? Come back quickly, the car will arrive later."

"Find water, wash your feet!" Xiang Jin continued to crawl without looking back.

Yang Juyun wanted to drag her back, but she was afraid that there would be no one here to help her when she got out of the car, so she turned to her back and said, "Can't you bear it? Do it later It just fell off naturally."

"No!" Xiang Jin waved at her with his back turned.

"Oh," Yang Juyun sighed and stomped her feet, "Then hurry up!"

"understood!"

Finally climbed up, Xiang Jin shot towards the ditch like throwing a shuttle, hey, let alone, although the whole ditch is dry, there is a place where the ditch connects to the hillside. A puddle.

There is a big sieve, fifty or sixty centimeters deep, the water looks cool and clear, and there is a small stream of water as thick as chopsticks flowing on the hillside, Xiang Jin thought to himself , This should be mountain spring water!

So she shouted down, "Mom, do you want to come up and wash?"

"I don't want to wash it, hurry up," Yang Juyun frowned, still staring at the direction of the car.

Xiang Jin curled her lips, seeing that her mother was nervous about catching a car, what's the matter?Don't wash it if you don't wash it, then she will wash it by herself, so she walked over and cleaned it seriously.

"Wow, how comfortable is it?" The water is cool and icy, which is just suitable for a person like her who is rushing to catch up with the heat right now.

Xiang Jin enjoyed it with a sigh, but she couldn't forget that her mother was still waiting anxiously below, so she speeded up after seriously feeling the coolness of the mountain spring water soaking her skin for a few seconds .

After she got down, before the car came, she asked her mother again, "Do you want to wash it too, it's cool and comfortable?"

Yang Juyun refused anxiously again, "Oh, what are you doing? We are all rural people. Who cares so much about you?"

Seeing her indifferent look, Xiang Jin shrugged, walked to the side under the shade of a tree and waited, forget it, don't wash it if you don't wash it!
"Hey, Xiang Jin, do you think this car has already left? It hasn't come for so long?" Suddenly, Yang Juyun said anxiously.

Naturally, Xiang Jin knew that when she said leaving, she meant the earliest bus at six o'clock in the morning, so she said, "Let's go, let's wait for the next bus."

They don't have time, so how do they know what time it is?In the first day of summer, it was already dawning early, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the sun lady had already shown her face.

Yang Juyun said angrily, "Then we have to wait here for more than two hours. Instead of waiting here for nothing, we might as well leave by ourselves."

In two hours they were able to walk straight to town.

Xiang Jin nodded seriously, "This method is feasible! Why don't we wait a little longer, and if we haven't come yet, then let's walk?"

Yang Juyun frowned and thought for a while, "Okay, then let's wait a little longer." They can't spend their time here all the time, they still have a lot of things to do.

The mother and daughter waited for about ten minutes, but still no car came, so they knew that it was past six o'clock, and there was no car coming, only the one at eight o'clock later.

So the mother and daughter decided to shake the ham and walk!
But they had only reached a distance of more than ten meters when someone honked their horns behind them, so the mother and daughter moved to the side of the road to make way for them.

"Ju Yun, are you going to the market with your child?" Suddenly, a familiar face leaned out of the car window, and the car stopped in front of them.

In fact, this familiarity is only for Yang Juyun, but it is still unfamiliar for Xiang Jin, because she has changed her core, and she has never met a few people in Fengchian, let alone knew them.

Therefore, when the other party greeted her mother, she just stood silently watching her mother greet others.

"Hey, Uncle Mingyao, is it you? Are you going to the market too?" Yang Juyun raised a smile on his face, and then pulled Xiang Jin to signal her to call for someone, "Oh, call someone, that's the great-grandfather from our previous neighbor , why not call?"

Looking at the old man with white hair and childish face, who smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, he was very friendly, and Xiang Jinying said to him respectfully, "Grandpa Zeng!"

"Oh, okay, okay," the old man responded with a smile on his face, and then asked, "Are you going to the market with your mother?"

"Well," Xiang Jin responded softly.

Then, the old man said, "Get in the car!"

Immediately, a middle-aged man in his thirties stepped down from the driver's seat, and then walked around the front of the car and opened the rear door for them.

Then they saw a very good-looking fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy sitting upright in the back row near the left door.

The boy was wearing a neat cotton light blue short-sleeved shirt, a pair of beige trousers of the same quality, and a pair of small white shoes on his feet. He looked extremely refreshing and comfortable. Very handsome!
