Chapter 19

“oops!”

The woman was startled. After seeing clearly that it was her, she patted her chest and said with a somewhat embarrassed look: “Little comrade, I’m sorry. I followed you just now. Did I scare you?”

Chen Jiao looked at her calmly.

Lai Fengxia quickly explained her purpose, “Comrade, my surname is Lai, and I live in the family compound of the oil mill.

This is what I saw. I just saw you at the supply and marketing cooperative wanting to buy milk powder and malted milk, right?

I have some here, do you want it? ”

After Lai Fengxia made sure that there was no one else around, she lowered her voice and asked Chen Jiao quietly.

Chen Jiao knew that private transactions were illegal in this era and would be labeled as speculation.

However, selling what you have and buying what you don’t have is a basic need in people’s lives. Therefore, under the prohibition of the law, many ways of private transactions have emerged. The black market is one of them, and people like Lai Fengxia who sell things secretly are also one of them.

“Sister, I want to buy some, how many do you have?”

Shen Jiao asked.

“Not much, just two cans of malted milk and two cans of milk powder.”

“Okay, I’ll take them all.”

Chen Jiao didn’t hesitate, “How do you think it’s sold?”

Lai Fengxia was overjoyed. It was not easy for every household to have enough food to eat these days. Not many people could afford to buy four cans of luxury goods like malted milk and milk powder at one time.

She quickly said, “Just follow the price from the supply and marketing cooperative. Malted milk is eight yuan a can, and milk powder is ten yuan. I don’t want your ticket.”

Chen Jiao calculated, “Two cans of malted milk plus two cans of milk powder is thirty-six yuan. If you don’t want a ticket, I’ll give you two more yuan. Here is thirty-eight yuan. Please count.”

When Lai Fengxia heard what Chen Jiao said, she narrowed her eyes with joy.

This young comrade was very good at dealing with things. Since she didn’t want her ticket, she took the initiative to add two dollars to it.

After Chen Jiao gave the money to Lai Fengxia, she asked, “Sister, you just said that you live in the family compound of the oil mill. Are your family employees in the city?”

Lai Fengxia introduced herself just now in order to gain Chen Jiao’s trust and make this deal.

Now that Shen Jiaozhen asked about her family situation, she became alert.

Don’t buy something from her and then report her right after.

If I get reported and lose my job just for selling these two cans of milk powder and malted milk, that would be a huge loss.

Lai Fengxia immediately wanted to take back the milk powder and malted milk and stop selling them.

Shen Jiao spoke before her: “Sister, it’s like this.

I am from Dajiang Village. My husband was injured while serving in the army and was just carried back yesterday.

He saved some money and came back, but he had no tickets.

I thought that your working-class families might have extra coupons. If you have extra coupons, I would be willing to pay to buy them from you. ”

When Lai Fengxia heard Chen Jiao’s words, the worries in her heart were dispelled.

Speculation and profiteering are crimes for both buyers and sellers.

The fact that Shen Jiao could tell her which team she was from meant that she really wanted to buy the ticket and was not trying to report her.

Lai Fengxia felt that it was a pleasure to do business with Chen Jiao, so she said, “I do have a lot of tickets, but not too much.

Sister, let me go back and help you collect it. Next time you come to the city, come find me at the oil press factory’s staff quarters. ”

“Okay.” Chen Jiao agreed readily.

After separating from Lai Fengxia, Chen Jiao went to the health center.

She took Lu Zhengxu’s military officer ID and went directly to the leader of the clinic. After explaining the situation to the leader, she asked the leader to send a doctor to see Lu Zhengxu.

She could use her wood-based abilities to slowly disperse the blood clots in Lu Zhengxu’s brain and cure him, but she would still have to hire a doctor to make it look like a cure.

After telling the doctor that she would go to Lu Zhengxu’s house to check on him in the afternoon, Shen Jiao left the hospital.

She found a more secluded place, made sure there was no one around, and slipped into the space.

Everything in her space is good, except that except for the spiritual spring water, other things cannot be taken out directly with mind. One must enter the space to get them.

In space.

The rice planted yesterday is already heading today.

Chen Jiao checked the growth of the crops, drank some spiritual spring water to quench her thirst, and then went into the warehouse.

This time she went straight to the fresh food area of ​​the warehouse, took a piece of pork ribs, a pig’s head, and then a piece of mutton, and put them all in the backpack.

Then she put a layer of oil paper on the meat, put the cloth she bought today into the backpack, and finally covered the backpack tightly with a cover made of rags she brought back from home.

After doing all this, she left the space, carrying a backpack and holding an electric fan, and rushed to the agreed place.

When she arrived at the agreed location, it was exactly the agreed time to return, and the brigade’s tractor had also returned with half a tractor full of seeds.

When I arrived just now, the tractor was already very crowded.

Now the space on the tractor is even more crowded with half of it taken up by seeds.

However, after the battle when Chen Jiao came, no one on the tractor said anything to her.

Chen Jiao knew that her current body took up too much space and she felt a little embarrassed.

She took out the fruit candies she had just weighed at the supply and marketing cooperative and gave a few to everyone in the car. “It’s too hot today, everyone should eat some candies to sweeten their mouths.”

Everyone was a little uncomfortable seeing her smiling face.

You have to know that Chen Jiao used to be very arrogant and never looked at these country people straight in the eye.

This is the first time that I have talked to them with such a smile and given them candies.

“Shen Zhiqing, I’m sorry for the expense. Thank you.”

The team members also thanked him politely.

You know, this fruit candy is cheap, relative to other candies. For those of them who make a living on the fields, this candy is a luxury.

Usually, during the Chinese New Year, I would weigh out two taels of it and give it to the children at home as a treat.

No one is like Chen Jiao, who buys candies every time there is a festival.

Chen Jiao quickly took this opportunity to reveal her identity, “Aunt, now that I’m married to Zheng Xu, I’m no longer an educated youth, but Zheng Xu’s wife. Don’t call me an educated youth anymore.”

Chen Jiao said this with a smile, and several aunts and sisters-in-law from the same production team in the car nodded and agreed.

At this time, someone saw that Chen Jiao’s backpack was bulging and covered tightly. They were curious about what Chen Jiao bought, but were too embarrassed to ask.

After all, she just took someone else’s candy, so she should feel guilty about it. She knew that she was covering her basket and didn’t want others to see what she bought, but she still asked. That was a bit ignorant.

Unable to ask about the things in the backpack, the auntie couldn’t help but touch the electric fan that Shen Jiao was carrying.

He asked enviously: “Zhengxu’s wife, is this an electric fan?”

Chen Jiao smiled and replied, “Yes, it’s too hot now, let’s buy an electric fan and go back to blow it for Zheng Xu.

But new ones are expensive, so I didn’t dare buy a new one. This is a broken and defective product and it won’t revolve.

I’ll take it back and fix it. ”

There was a hint of deeper meaning in everyone’s eyes when they looked at Chen Jiao.

“Zhengxu’s family, can you repair electric fans?

This thing that has something to do with electric tigers is not so easy to repair, right? ”

Chen Jiao smiled modestly and said, “When I was in the city, I saw others repairing it, so I went home and tried it myself.”

“Zhengxu’s. This broken fan must have cost a lot of money, right?”

Before Chen Jiao responded, someone next to her said sourly, “Tsk tsk, you really don’t know how to live, spending money to buy a piece of junk.

This is because Zhengxu risked his life to earn some money, so he dared to spend it like this. ”

Chen Jiao: …

“Zhengxu’s family, Zhengxu was injured this time, the army must have given him a lot of subsidies, right?”

…

Seeing Chen Jiao spending so much lavishly, some people began to inquire about Lu Zhengxu’s subsidy in a roundabout way.

Chen Jiao just smiled and said nothing. It’s human nature to hate people who have something and laugh at people who don’t. There’s no point in saying more.

However, Su Ling, who was sitting next to Shen Jiao, gently touched her with her elbow.

He lowered his voice and asked her, “Chen Jiao, you just said that you are no longer an educated youth after marrying Lu Zhengxu, so will you go to the educated youth meeting of the commune tomorrow?”

Although Chen Jiao had been married to Lu Zhengxu for four years and had given birth to a pair of twins, she had never verbally acknowledged the marriage and even regarded herself as an educated youth.

She participated in all the activities of the educated youth.

Chen Jiao originally wanted to say that she was no longer an educated youth and therefore would not go.

Su Ling added, “Tomorrow Chen Haoyu will speak as a representative of the educated youth.”

Chen Jiao smiled and said, “I’m not an educated youth anymore, so I shouldn’t participate in activities anymore.

But I will still go to the meeting tomorrow. ”

Chen Haoyu’s status as a representative of educated youth was obtained by using the money and grain provided by the original owner, and the commune leader had hinted last time that there was a place for one of their educated youth to enter the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

Tomorrow, Chen Haoyu, as a representative of the educated youth, is likely to get this spot.

Now that she is here, how could it be possible for Chen Haoyu to leave the vast countryside so easily and become an envied college student?

That scumbag must pay back everything he owes her, and must spit out everything he ate from her!

When Shen Jiao said this, Su Ling immediately understood what she meant, “I will help you tomorrow.”

The two looked at each other, no further words were needed.
