I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

Ji Xiaoxi took two snack tickets and bought the sesame and mung bean cakes and rice cakes first. One sesame and mung bean cake was the size of two palms and cost 6 cents.

The rice cake is smaller in portion than the mung bean cake, and is sprinkled with black sesame seeds, which smells quite fragrant. One portion costs 5 cents.

This is assuming tickets are available. It will be more expensive without tickets, and of course, you may not be able to buy one.

However, in front of Ji Xiaoxi, who has modern thinking, she just thinks these things are extremely cheap!

The mung bean cakes of this era do not have any high-tech added to them. They are made of real mung beans and smell very fragrant.

After buying the snacks, she looked back in the direction of Shen Jiao and found that she was still looking down to choose buttons, so she turned around and continued to stroll around other counters.

There are also roasted nuts for sale here, but they are just simple melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts and the like. Ji Xiaoxi asked the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative to take some melon seeds and peanuts to look at. The salesperson rolled his eyes at her while eating melon seeds, and said, "The minimum order is one pound. You need to buy with a ticket."

Thinking about his future livelihood, Ji Xiaoxi endured it and asked, "How much is a pound of melon seeds, and how much is a pound of peanuts?"

Salesperson: "Melon seeds are 5 cents a pound, and peanuts are 4 cents a pound."

Shen Jiao walked over, grabbed Ji Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, don't buy here." It's a bit expensive.

The salesperson spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth and said, "You can buy it or not."

Ji Xiaoxi: "No, I'm selling melon seeds to her and she's being treated as noble."

Shen Jiao: "Exactly, I don't know where this onion came from."

Salesperson: “You…”

The two of them left after they finished talking, not bothering to pay attention to the salesperson's whining behind them. She had gotten the news anyway, and she had come to inquire about the price of melon seeds at the supply and marketing cooperative.

The two walked to the soap area again. The scented soaps were 1 yuan each and came in two flavors: peach blossom and osmanthus. The unscented soaps were 6 cents each.

Ji Xiaoxi picked up a piece of peach-scented soap, which was the last piece she had. Just as she was about to pay, she was stopped by a hand.

"Wait, I want this soap." Zhou Guifang said with her head held high.

"You want it? Do you have soap tickets?" Ji Xiaoxi asked.

Zhou Guifang felt around her body and realized that she had forgotten to bring the soap ticket, but she didn't want to lose face in front of Chen Zhixin, so she said to Ji Xiaoxi in a proud tone, "It's just the soap ticket, sell it to me and I'll give you a few more cents."

Ji Xiaoxi glanced at her rudely, and she almost doubted whether this supporting actress had lost her brain.

Shen Jiao was not polite at all and directly said, "Why are you so arrogant if you don't have a ticket? Stand aside."

Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing, "What do you mean it's just a soap ticket? Now I have a ticket and you don't have one. Did you go out without a brain?"

Zhou Guifang pointed at Ji Xiaoxi angrily and said, "You country bumpkin, what qualifications do you have to use such a good soap?"

Shen Jiao stood in front of Ji Xiaoxi. In her impression, Ji Xiaoxi was still the fourth brother's sister-in-law who would faint when provoked.

She slapped Zhou Guifang's hand away and shouted, "So the educated youth from the city are so noble? Are they qualified to look down on us country folk?" She waved her hands and shouted to the people around her, "Everyone, come and take a look! These educated youth from the city are so noble. They look down on us country folk and call us country bumpkins."

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. At least half of the people in this supply and marketing cooperative were from nearby brigades.

Who would like to be looked down upon for no reason? Shopping is supposed to be a happy thing, and this person is just ruining their shopping mood.

For a moment, all the aunties and grandmas stretched out their hands of judgment and pointed fingers at Zhou Guifang.

Zhou Guifang's face turned red with anger. Although she was reborn, she had never been to the countryside in her previous life. The few poor rural relatives she had met in the city were all timid and cowardly.

She thought that all rural people were timid, but she didn't expect that the two country girls in front of her were so aggressive and rude.

Chen Zhixin had regretted it a thousand times in his heart. He was out of his mind to agree to accompany Zhou Guifang here, which led to him being in such an embarrassing situation now.

"Zhou Guifang, buy whatever you want quickly. I'll wait for you outside." Without waiting for Zhou Guifang's reply, he quickly escaped from the encirclement of the aunts.

Shen Jiao continued, "Why, you noble city educated youth can't speak anymore? You just wanted to buy our soap tickets. Now ask if anyone is willing to sell them to you?"

"Sell it to her? I wouldn't sell it to her even if I lost it."

"What the hell, you're from the city, you're so great, do you have extra eyes or extra hands?"

"You're not good-looking either. I think you're much uglier than the girl next to you. Where do you get such confidence from?"

"Your clothes aren't necessarily better than ours, so why are you so arrogant? I don't understand."

"Why don't you go out and turn left to find a pharmacy, I think she's seriously ill."

Zhou Guifang listened to the discussions around her and her face turned red. She felt that she was being laughed at by a group of country bumpkins. She was extremely angry at Ji Xiaoxi and Shen Jiao and glared at them with red eyes.

Shen Jiao: "What's wrong? Are you going to cry? Everyone is watching. Don't try to say that I made you cry."

There was another round of hushed discussions.

Zhou Guifang couldn't stand it anymore and squeezed out of the crowd with her face covered.

When Chen Zhixin saw her running out, he followed her and quickly left this embarrassing place.

Shen Jiao pouted at her back, "Pah, what the hell is that? Why are you pretending here?"

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and pulled her arm, "Sister-in-law, I've bought it, let's go."

Shen Jiao looked back and asked, "Did you take the soap?"

Ji Xiaoxi raised the soap in her hand and shook it. "I paid for it when you were talking to her."

Shen Jiao: "Okay, let's go."

When the two walked to the door, they saw a middle-aged man in a suit hurried over, and someone around him called him Director.

Ji Xiaoxi's eyes turned, and she pulled Shen Jiao to the middle-aged man and asked, "Excuse me, are you the director of this supply and marketing cooperative?"

The middle-aged man stopped, looked at them and said, "I am, what do you want?"

Ji Xiaoxi: "It's like this, we just found out that the salesperson at the counter selling melon seeds and peanuts was secretly eating melon seeds during work. This behavior violates the collective interests and damages the overall image of the Leqing Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Fortunately, we saw it. If the leaders from above come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, it will be bad if we make a fuss."

The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this. He came here specifically because his leader was coming to inspect.

He whispered a thank you to Ji Xiaoxi and strode into the supply and marketing cooperative.

He walked all the way to the counter selling melon seeds and peanuts, and saw the person inside was eating melon seeds and reading a comic book with his head down. His face suddenly became serious and he reached out and knocked on the table.

The other party said impatiently, "The melon seeds start at one pound. If you can't afford it, don't even look at it."

Middle-aged man: "Who stipulated this?"

The other party raised his head angrily, "I said..."

Middle-aged man: “What?”

The salesperson nervously spat out the melon seed shell in his mouth and said, "Director, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."

Middle-aged man: "Whose relative recruited you? Let him come to me."

Salesperson: "Director, I was wrong. I will definitely work hard."

Middle-aged man: "I'm in the office before get off work ends. You and your introducer can come to the office to see me."
