Become a burden in a period novel

"Comrade Dong is curious about my actions?" Xie Chengxuan put on a fake smile on his face.

"No, they may not come back for lunch, so I wanted to ask Comrade Xie if he would eat at home. If you are, I will cook for both of us." Dong Shaofang explained.

During this time together, she naturally knew that Xie Chengxuan didn't like others paying attention to his life. She and Xie Chengxuan were just nodding acquaintances who were slightly more familiar than strangers and lived in the same educated youth camp.

"No, I'll go to the commune later." Xie Chengxuan refused.

Dong Shaofang continued to smile, "Then I will just cook my own meals."

But after Xie Chengxuan entered the room, Dong Shaofang could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

She also turned around and went back to her room, found a scarf and put it on, then went out and walked towards the captain's house.

In order to put on a complete show, she naturally had to ask the captain if she could take a home visit leave, even though she didn't actually want to go home.

Her family lives in a tube-shaped building. There are many people living in the small room, and it feels difficult to turn around.

Now that she has moved to the countryside, her bed should be occupied by her nephew. Even if she goes back, she has nowhere to live. So why would she go back?

Dong Shaofang knew that some of these educated youth came from very well-off families and that they went to the countryside only because of policy requirements. Once the policy was relaxed a little, they could return to the city.

But she was different. After she returned, she didn't even have a place to live, let alone a job to take her in.

So she urgently needed to make money. With money, she could buy herself a job and rent a room of her own.

But where would the money come from? She had no way to make money. Even if she knew where the black market was, she had nothing to sell.

She had to write back and ask her family to send her some money and tickets, which they owed her, especially her brother.

Originally, I was not the one who went to the countryside, but because he was a son and I was a daughter, I became the one who went to the countryside.

She had to make them compensate her!

Dong Shaofang thought as he walked towards the captain's house.

The market before the New Year is very lively. You can hear the noisy voices even before you arrive.

Qin Wangshu chatted with the female educated youth along the way and learned that Dong Shaofang did not come to the market.

Qin Wangshu didn't care. She wanted to be as far away from the heroine as possible. After getting off the car, she took Aunt Luo to find something to eat.

Soon she found her target, fried dough sticks!

This is a mixture of sugar and oil! It is very satisfying to take one bite.

"Aunt, let's go eat some fried dough sticks." Qin Wangshu pulled Aunt Luo towards the fried dough sticks stall.

Youtiao are not cheap. Aunt Luo is not reluctant to spend them, but she can't bear to see Qin Wangshu spending money so lavishly.

"I don't buy it many times a year, so please don't spoil my mood!" After paying, Qin Wangshu took the fried dough sticks that had just come out of the pan and handed them to him by the stall owner.

The fried dough sticks were wrapped in cut newspapers. Qin Wangshu handed one to Aunt Luo. Although Aunt Luo felt that Qin Wangshu spent money lavishly, she did not refuse.

"Crunch!" Qin Wangshu took a bite of the fried dough stick. The aroma of the fried food filled his mouth. He felt so satisfied!

"It smells so good! Auntie, you please eat it too." Qin Wangshu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

I miss it so much. Qin Wangshu thought about how he never dared to eat fried food in order to maintain his figure when he was in college, and he felt that he had missed a lot.

At that time, she didn't dare to eat many things in order to lose weight. Now in the 1970s, she can't eat anything she wants.

After a while, Qin Wangshu saw the man selling buns again. The white flour buns were placed in the steamer, surrounded by steam. Each one was white and plump, and extremely cute. Each one was tempting Qin Wangshu's taste buds.

"Auntie, let's go buy some buns." Qin Wangshu said excitedly.

"Go back and make them yourself. We'll buy some meat and tofu and make them ourselves." Aunt Luo stopped Qin Wangshu who was about to rush to the bun stall.

Aunt Luo discovered that the child was greedy and wanted to buy everything.

"Auntie, can you make dumplings?" Qin Wangshu was very surprised.

"Everyone knows how to do it. Okay, let's go and see something else." Aunt Luo pulled Qin Wangshu in another direction.

Since Qin Wangshu wanted to eat buns, and there happened to be a few eggs and some white flour at home, she bought some tofu and vermicelli. She just saw someone selling meat, so she bought some as well.

The real ingredients you make yourself are definitely much better than the fillings sold here.

"Let's buy the meat first, it will be sold out soon." Aunt Luo pointed to the meat stall over there.

Qin Wangshu finally suppressed his excitement. His aunt was right, buying meat was the most important thing. Qin Wangshu had never lacked meat since he raised chickens in the space, but it was not pork.

The status of pork cannot be replaced by any other meat.

"Then let's go quickly. Auntie, can you make braised pork? I want to eat it." Generally, you don't need a ticket to buy things at the market. After all, they are all sold by local people.

Qin Wangshu had plenty of money, but he didn't have enough tickets.

Since pork was on sale and no tickets were required, they had to buy more.

"I don't know how, but I can make mushroom stew. I still have some dried mushrooms from before. Do you want to eat some?" Aunt Luo shook her head. Braised pork is not something that not everyone can make, and they don't have any spices. But meat tastes good no matter how it is cooked.

"Yes, yes, yes! Auntie, let's go buy some meat!" Qin Wangshu pulled Auntie Luo over there.

The meat here doesn't require a ticket, but the purchase is limited. After all, there are so many people, if someone with more money buys it all, others who can't buy it will probably overturn their stalls.

So they set a limit on the amount each person can buy.

At this market, their team specially slaughtered a pig to sell, which was much more expensive than selling it to the meat processing plant.

The main reason is that their team has a butcher who can divide the pigs.

After learning about the purchase restriction, Qin Wangshu and Aunt Luo looked at each other and knew what the other meant. They immediately separated and bought their own portion.

Aunt Luo bought fatter meat, while Qin Wangshu bought leaner meat. But it wasn't that Qin Wangshu didn't know how to buy, but the person who bought the meat was a bit "bullying" the young. Seeing that Qin Wangshu was young, he gave him lean meat directly.

Aunt Luo didn't say anything when she saw the meat Qin Wangshu bought. It was already a pleasant surprise that she could buy two pieces of meat this time.

They wrapped the two pieces of meat in oil paper and put them directly in the backpack, and then went to see if there was anything else they needed.

Soon, Qin Wangshu saw someone selling duck eggs and goose eggs. While Aunt Luo was picking things, she went over to ask about these eggs. After all, poultry don’t lay eggs much in winter, and she didn’t know if these eggs were pickled.
