Being a widow with three children, I drove a BMW in the 1980s

Chapter 23 Someone from the old Su family is coming
Cheng Li stuffed a thought into the space together with the bamboo basket on her back. She left nothing on her body and walked calmly.

"Stop, yes, it's you, stop!"

A tough woman, with a red armband tied on her arm, came menacingly. While stopping Cheng Li, several people gathered around her.

With everyone staring at her, the leading woman spoke, "What are you doing? What are you doing here!"

"I'm here to see my relatives. Their child has been born. No, I'm going back after watching this."

The woman was not ready to let her go. She looked her up and down. Her clothes were in tatters and covered with patches. Although she didn't have patches or anything, she had pockets on her body!

"Search me. Only if there is nothing left can I prove your innocence!"

A younger lesbian came up and started touching her, but of course she didn't touch anything.

There is no way, who told her to have space!
This operation also made Cheng Li angry, "What are you doing! Why do you bully others like this? I am a poor peasant, how can I do capitalist things!"

All of a sudden, the leading woman was embarrassed, and she was also dizzy. She looked like a pauper, and she couldn't even touch any money. It was true.

"I'm sorry, comrade, we are doing this for work! Please forgive me!"

Cheng Li's identity was too clean, so clean that she walked away from them arrogantly.

It can be regarded as delaying some time for those who are escaping behind. It is not easy for everyone.

But now, she had to rush to their town with her legs swinging, and she also had to buy some vegetables and meat.

I have to cook for the educated youths when I get back!
It was still the familiar courtyard, and Tu Zhu was really happy to see her.

"Sister, you are here!"

Miss? ? ?

A trace of absurdity flashed in Cheng Li's eyes, and her eyes swept over the dark face and the extraordinarily white teeth.

Are you kidding me?
Is she that old?

I lowered my head and looked at the pair of black cloth shoes on my feet. Well, they seemed to be quite old. No modern grandma would wear her shoes anymore.

Forget it.

"Yes, I didn't see you at the supply and marketing cooperative today?"

Tu Zhu laughed and scratched his head, "I'm usually here in the morning."

Usually when villagers want to buy something, they will come to the yard early to take a look, so they are busy in the morning. Only at noon and afternoon when no one comes and there is no business, he will go out to attract customers.

"Come in quickly, it's sunny outside."

Following Tu Zhu into the somewhat messy courtyard, he got straight to the point.

"I want to buy some meat and vegetables. Do you have any here?"

"Yes, there is some, but as for the meat, it's not that good. Sister, take a look."

Walking into the kitchen, there was only a thin strip of lean meat left, almost with a thin layer of skin and almost no fat.

Well, the bad meat in their mouths is meat without oil and water.

Tu Zhu was a little apologetic, "Hey, eldest sister, you don't know how difficult it is to get meat now! People from all over the country who want to buy meat are counting on this pig!"

Nowadays, the pigs are raised in the name of the brigade and are the common property of everyone. If everyone wants to eat meat, they can only wait until the end of the year to hand in the task and kill the New Year pig before each household can get food. .

Otherwise, your workplace has issued the meat coupons and you can go to the butcher shop to buy it yourself.If other people want to eat meat, they have to have spare money and come to this black market to buy it, and meat may not always be available.

The pigs bought on the black market are all raised secretly in private. There are not many of them in the first place, and it takes time to raise them.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to wait a long time after this pig.”

Tu Zhu was not saying that he was forcing her to buy it, but he was simply stating a fact. The recent tightening of regulations meant that the two pig farmers he had previously contacted did not dare to make any move. The pigs were almost ready to be sold, but they were all pulled out.

I'm afraid I have to stop.

"Okay, then I want this meat. Are there any other dishes? I'll get some more."

"okay!"

It was obvious from the last time that this eldest sister came to buy things that she was generous. Although she looked poor in her clothes, she gave money happily. She was not at all like those people who could spend a long time chewing every penny with him.

Tu Zhu quickly wrapped the meat for her and put it in the backpack, and then took her to see the vegetables. There were a lot of vegetables in the past two days, including corn, green vegetables, beans, cucumbers, and eggplants.

There are many varieties, but not much in quantity. Most of them were collected by him when he went to the countryside to live in the homes of fellow villagers. Every household was in a tight situation and lacked food and meat. These vegetables were all the family's rations, so naturally they could be sold. Very few.

"I want all of these, how much do you want?"

"Row."

As expected, the eldest sister is so generous!

Cheng Li didn't think much about it. She didn't farm any land and had no vegetables to eat. She happened to buy enough food for her three children, and there were vegetables to cook for the educated youth.

"The meat is a little over two kilograms. I'll give it to you in total, it's one dollar and four. The vegetables are eight kilograms in total. I'll give you two cents per kilogram, and the total is one dollar and fifty-six cents."

Cheng Li paid the money and then left with Tu Zhu's happy expression. She turned to a deserted place and silently packed everything into the space.

Traveling lightly can also be regarded as a little less stressful for yourself on the way back.

As soon as I got home, I started cooking non-stop. Little Aiqiu was taken to school by her brothers. These days, every family is trying their best to have a baby.

The emphasis is that the more people there are, the more powerful they are, which leads to a phenomenon where the big one leads the small ones.

Today's schools are not so strict, and they turn a blind eye to the students' situations. There are a lot of coaxing younger brothers and sisters in class.

Busy adults just think it is a free nursery there. Anyway, someone will help them take care of the baby so that it will not be a hindrance at home.

This also allowed Cheng Li to enjoy it. It will be good in two or three years. By then, school will resume classes and Aiqiu will be old enough to go to school.

The most important thing now is to heat up the pot, steam a large pot of rice, and make cucumber salad and eggplant and beans for lunch!
On the other side, in the police station in the big town, Wu Cuihua, who had been detained for several days, was like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilting and losing her usual vigor.

But those eyes lit up for a moment when they saw the person coming, and the next second they turned red and tears fell.

"Boss, second, my son, please get me out quickly! I really didn't do anything! I was wrongly accused!"

The door outside opened, and her man, Su Kaichun, came in followed by uniformed personnel.

At this moment, the man looked over, and his angry eyes gave her a vicious look, and then he followed the people around him to plead for mercy.

"Comrade, my mother-in-law doesn't keep her mouth shut, but her heart is not bad. It's impossible for her to do these things!"

"Well, the bail is five yuan. After you pay the money, you can take the person away. Go back and do some ideological work!"
