Chapter 50
Ever since he received Zhizhi’s call that day, he had been counting down the days to receive the package.
Although he liked to tease his sister, he was naturally thrilled!
But then again, knitting a sweater isn’t as simple as running, it wouldn’t be that fast.
Lu Xingchen chuckled: “Someone’s about to become a ‘Sister-Gazing Stone’.”
Instructor Liang Zhirong nodded: “I think Lao Jiang is eagerly anticipating it.”
Jiang Wang snorted: “Don’t envy me, I have a sister, you don’t! I win this round!”
The other two were amused: “………”
We’ve learned something new!
Never seen someone so proud of their sister!
…….
The four siblings left the post office and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Saleswoman Zhang Ping, upon seeing Jiang Zhizhi, smiled like a blooming flower, “Girl, it’s been a while since you came to the supply and marketing cooperative.
You wouldn’t believe it, something big happened recently, we heard that a female hero emerged from Dajiang Village who caught human traffickers.
Everyone on the street is talking about it.
The female hero is simply our great hero, I wish I could meet her.”
Jiang Zhizhi: ……..
Didn’t expect this to make me stand out.
Her brothers were amused.
Zhang Ping still didn’t know Jiang Zhizhi’s name, she just called her “Jiang girl,” so she didn’t know that the female hero she was thinking about was standing right in front of her.
Jiang Zhizhi took the opportunity to ask if there was any news about cotton for sale.
Zhang Ping told the four siblings: “Girl, I’ve been keeping an eye out for you, there are three families in Hongqi Commune who want to sell cotton.
They didn’t plant much vegetables in their own reserved land, they almost all planted cotton.
They have enough cotton to make cotton clothes and pants for their children, and they plan to sell the rest, save some money to get their children married, buy some food, etc.”
Jiang Zhizhi immediately perked up, she chuckled: “As long as there’s cotton, I’ll take it all, our family needs to make quilts and clothes for winter, we’re really short on it.”
“Okay, I’ll call someone to go to the village and call them over.” Zhang Ping nodded, taking a break to go out.
With Zhang Ping’s help, the three families from Hongqi Commune who were selling cotton came to Zhang Ping’s house half an hour later.
They were wearing gray coarse cloth shirts and pants, with scarves around their faces, they smiled and greeted each other.
Since Zhang Ping was the middleman, they could trust her.
They didn’t need to be so restrained.
They didn’t know that when they met the little girl’s expectant big eyes, they felt their image suddenly become tall.
It was that feeling of being needed!
Think about it, it’s exciting!
Oh my god, the little girl’s eyes smile like crescent moons, the more you look at them, the more your heart melts!
Zhang Ping was also happy, she enthusiastically greeted them to bring out the cotton, after the transaction was completed, she had to rush back to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The three women took out a large bundle from their baskets, Jiang Zhizhi opened it and saw that it was indeed cotton grown by themselves.
“There are thirty-eight jin of cotton here, it’s what we saved after using it sparingly, if it wasn’t for the urgent need for money at home, we wouldn’t sell it for anything!”
Jiang Zhizhi calculated, it would take about one jin and two liang of cotton to make a cotton coat, and one jin of cotton for a cotton pant would be enough.
Jiang Zhizhi was particularly afraid of the cold in winter, her own quilt would need at least ten jin of cotton.
Her parents would arrive in Da Liu Village in two days, it was still in time to start making cotton clothes, pants, and quilts.
Jiang Zhizhi: “I’ll take it all.”
Under the witness of Zhang Ping, the transaction was successful.
The four siblings happily went home, their hearts filled with anticipation and joy.
Now, everyone in the Jiang family knew that Jiang Zhizhi knew the saleswoman at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she would help keep an eye out for good things.
They were also happy.
Jiang Zhizhi thought, it wasn’t easy, everything required pulling a big flag.
