The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s
Chapter 219 Saccharin
"Saccharin?" Li Jiuniang repeated in disbelief. She had everything in her space, and she could never finish it all by herself in her lifetime, but she didn't have any saccharin. Who would eat saccharin nowadays? They didn't even eat white sugar.
"When can you give me the things?" After thinking for a while, Li Jiuniang finally decided to agree. She was not stupid, and she also knew that white sugar was much more expensive than saccharin at this time.
"I can give it to you tomorrow night! But the quantity won't be much, maybe five or six kilograms of each." Tian Tian said.
She had originally hidden these things inside the shells, intending to have them as snacks at night. She had also been planning to make some chestnut cakes, but now that Li Jiuniang wanted them, it would be okay to take them out. She could go up the mountain to pick more. Anyway, she didn't have much work to do in the future, so she had plenty of time.
"Five or six kilograms will be fine, but you can go up the mountain and pick up more in the future. I can also exchange things for you, or just give you money and tickets directly." Li Jiuniang said.
"Let's talk about it later. If I can pick up more, I'll bring some to you." Tian Tian did not agree immediately.
She also wanted to make something to eat with hazelnuts and chestnuts, and if there were enough, she could bring some for Li Jiuniang.
After Tian Tian and Li Jiuniang agreed on the place to pick up the things tomorrow night, she said goodbye to Li Jiuniang and went home.
Passing by a grove of trees by the river, Gu Zhao suddenly came out of the woods, which scared Tian Tian. The trees in this grove were quite thick, which was more than enough to block a person. If there was really someone hiding behind the trees on purpose, Tian Tian really couldn't see him.
She glared at Gu Zhao, cursed him in her heart, and prepared to go home without saying a word.
"Don't get too close to Li Jiuniang Li Zhiqing in the future. She is a very troublesome person. Be careful that she may get you involved again in the future." Gu Zhao suddenly spoke.
Tian Tian stopped, turned around and looked at Gu Zhao with a frown.
Gu Zhao knew about her private transaction with Li Jiuniang. Could it be that he just saw it?
Tian Tian looked back. Just now, when she was talking to Li Jiuniang, she had deliberately found a place where few people went. She thought that everyone was preparing to grind flour today and no one would meet them. Unexpectedly, she was run into by Gu Zhao.
In fact, Tian Tian was not too worried about others finding out about this. First, she had openly sent food to Li Jiuniang before, and the villagers only thought that this person had to take the initiative to ask Tian Tian for food, and this happened very rarely.
This kind of situation has happened before. For example, those old educated youth who got along well with the people in the village would often pick vegetables from the homes of the people in the brigade.
Moreover, vegetables are really not valuable things here. If the two families want to get along well, they can just pick vegetables directly from each other's vegetable garden. Not many people in the village will take it seriously, and it will not have any impact on Tian Tian, nor will it pose any threat to Tian Tian.
"Li Zhiqing and I just met and talked for a few words. There's no such thing as being close or not. I don't understand what you are saying." Tian Tian retorted calmly.
Gu Zhao knew that Tian Tian was secretly helping his grandfather, and Tian Lisong also helped them a lot. He had a good impression of the Tian family and Tian Lisong, so he reminded Tian Tian. Now Tian Tian obviously didn't take his words seriously, so Gu Zhao didn't say anything more.
"Li Jiuniang is not as simple as you think. You grew up in the village, you are simple and easy to be deceived by others." Gu Zhao said a few words to Tian Tian at last.
He, Fang Siwen and Qin Changfeng were all educated youth who went to the countryside together. Normally, the three of them would be familiar with each other and have more contact with each other. Recently, Qin Changfeng and Li Jiuniang have also had more contact and their relationship is relatively good.
Through Qin Changfeng, Gu Zhao was able to get in touch with Li Jiuniang to some extent. He knew that Li Jiuniang might be dealing in things privately, but he did not have any bad feelings about this matter, and he did not think about reporting it or anything.
Li Jiuniang has the ability and can earn this money because of her work. As for whether there will be any consequences in the future, that is her own choice.
But he would never do it together with Li Jiuniang, nor would he get involved.
He already has to take care of his grandfather and doesn't have the extra money to join them in this matter.
But Tian Tian was different. Tian Tian knew the relationship between him and his grandfather. Not only did she not tell anyone else, she also secretly helped them twice.
No matter what Tian Tian thinks or what her purpose is, Gu Zhao will accept her kindness.
He also didn't want Tian Tian to get hurt because of being too close to Li Jiuniang.
After Gu Zhao finished speaking, he walked around Tian Tian.
Tian Tian turned her head to look at Gu Zhao's back and pursed her lips. She knew that Gu Zhao meant well. She could feel that the words Gu Zhao had just said to her were sincere reminders.
She hadn't thought so much about it before, and she wasn't worried that something might happen that would implicate her, because although she gave Li Jiuniang something, she didn't take much, just a few kilograms. She and Li Jiuniang both used space, so they were not afraid of being caught.
Besides, Li Jiuniang is the heroine, no matter who else gets into trouble, nothing will happen to her.
It is also because of the halo of the heroine that Tian Tian feels at ease to cooperate with Li Jiuniang.
Tian Tian ignored what Gu Zhao said and went straight home. No one was at home. Old Mrs. Tian had gone up the mountain to collect firewood. The door of the house was hung, and the melon seeds that Old Mrs. Tian had roasted in the morning were still drying on the stove.
Tian Tian stayed at home for a while, then ran to the mill to take a look. Seeing that there were still quite a lot of people in front of them, she thought that Chen Guihua and the others would have to wait for a while, so she ran to the mountain to find Old Lady Tian first.
There are so many good things on the mountain now, and Grandma Tian couldn't bear to leave them all on the mountain, so she wanted to pick up more and bring them home.
After going up the mountain, Tian Tian did not intentionally look for Old Lady Tian. She just picked chestnuts and hazelnuts while strolling around looking for them.
Tian Tian waited until she had secretly picked up a lot of chestnuts from the shells before she found Old Mrs. Tian.
Old Mrs. Tian also had a rich harvest. She picked up a large bundle of firewood, as well as a basket of chestnuts and a basket of hazelnuts.
"Grandma! Why are you picking up so many peach shells? Aren't they prickly?" Tian Tian quickly reached out and took the basket of chestnuts from Grandma Tian's hand.
Their earthen baskets were woven with soft twigs, and they were not very airtight. The thorns of the peach shells would poke out through the gaps. Old Mrs. Tian was carrying a large load of firewood, so she could only hang the earthen basket on her body, and the thorns kept pricking her body, which was very uncomfortable.
Except for those chestnuts that are still a little raw and are too dead in the peach shells to come out, they usually don't pick up the peach shells and take them home. They just step on them with their feet, dig them out, and use a small stick to pry out the chestnuts inside.
"I see the chestnuts here are quite big and they can't be dug out, so I thought of picking them all up and taking them home. Otherwise it would be a waste to just leave them there. It's just right that after drying these peach shells, we can use them for burning in winter." said Old Mrs. Tian.
Tian Tian didn't say anything. She reached out and took the two baskets of chestnuts and hazelnuts from Old Lady Tian's hands. She also slung her small basket for carrying things on her arm and walked home with Old Lady Tian.
When the two of them got home, Chen Guihua and the others had not returned yet, and it was getting dark outside.
Tian Tian was in a hurry to go to Team 4 to watch the duo act. She put her things down and ran out to find Chen Guihua and the others.
On the way, he happened to run into Chen Guihua and Lin Meiyu who were carrying food back home.
"Mom! Second Aunt!" Tian Tian rushed over and took the food from Chen Guihua and Lin Meiyu.
"Why did you two just come back? It's almost dark!"
"It's because we got so many people in front of us, and they are still dawdling. They don't even bother to chat. If they hadn't seen that it was getting late and were anxious to listen to the duo act, they would have moved faster. We probably still have to wait there now!" Chen Guihua said unhappily.
She was so anxious that she looked down on the working speed of others. She wished she could turn into a donkey and help them grind all the grain.
Finally it was their turn. Chen Guihua quickly ground the corn into cornmeal, which only took two-thirds of the usual time. Otherwise they would have to grind it in the mill for a while longer.
All three of them were in a hurry to get to Team Five. They quickly took the food home and gave it to Old Lady Tian to keep it away. They then packed the food that they had prepared long ago, put the small bag on their backs, hung the door, called Tian Lilin, and everyone went to Team Four together.
There were quite a lot of people on the road, including many from their team. The educated youth were also preparing to go to Team 4, and everyone brought their own small stools.
By the time they arrived at the fourth team chatting and laughing, it was already completely dark. They hadn't even reached the stage yet, but they could hear the sound of them singing the Errenzhuan from a distance.
When they turned a corner, before they could see the stage, they saw a dark circle of people surrounding it. They couldn't see what was on the stage at all. There were people even on the roofs of the surrounding houses.
"Oh my God! Are we here to listen to the opera or to watch people?" Chen Guihua stood on tiptoe on a stone nearby and looked inside, but she couldn't see the stage at all.
Tian Tian was a little disappointed when she saw this scene. They couldn't see anything after they arrived.
She had agreed with Shen Lingling last night to ask her to save a seat for her, but today she couldn't find Shen Lingling at all, let alone know where she was sitting.
