A Time Travel Effort in the 70s
Chapter 67: People are all suffering from lack of money
Before Goudan and Erya reached where Shen Jiaren was standing, they heard the sounds of quarreling coming from the educated youth center.
It turned out that Chen Jiaojiao also went to the town for a day off today, and bought pork and some food from the town’s supply and marketing cooperative.
So this afternoon, Chen Jiaojiao took out the pork and asked Xu Hongxia to make a meat dish.
The dish she made was pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, which Chen Jiaojiao also bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
This dish tastes especially delicious after it is cooked.
Because when Chen Jiaojiao and Liu Mei had a quarrel before, Chen Jiaojiao promised Liu Weijun to buy him meat.
In addition, when Chen Jiaojiao was sick before, Song Xiangxue helped her in many ways, so Chen Jiaojiao also wanted to thank Song Xiangxue.
In addition, when Wang Aiguo was borrowing a bicycle, she and Liu Mei had an argument, and Wang Aiguo spoke for her one-sidedly. Part of the reason was also that Chen Jiaojiao felt embarrassed because of the matter of borrowing a bicycle.
And there was the captain. When Aunt Zhou came to cause trouble for him, regardless of whether Captain Zhao Yuanchao meant to do so or not, he stood in front of her.
Chen Jiaojiao wanted to take this opportunity to thank these people at the meal, so when Xu Hongxia was cooking, Chen Jiaojiao asked them to divide the dishes into those with meat and those without. She ate the large one with more meat, and divided some of the dishes with meat into large, medium and small portions. There was also a dish without meat, which had a meaty smell, so Chen Jiaojiao scooped it out and gave it to other people at the educated youth site, asking everyone to share it.
Chen Jiaojiao gave the larger portion to Liu Weijun, because she had promised Liu Weijun to help her and would buy him meat as a reward, so the separate portion was given to Liu Weijun.
The middle portion was given to Song Xiangxue, the small portion was given to Wang Aiguo, and another small portion was given to Zhao Yuanchao, the team leader of the educated youth site.
When giving the meat to Song Xiangxue, Chen Jiaojiao specifically told Song Xiangxue in front of Liu Mei that this dish was for Song Xiangxue herself and not to be eaten by anyone else. If someone else was allowed to eat it, the dish would have to be taken back. She also said that it would be best for Song Xiangxue to eat it in front of her and not to take it back.
As a result, when this matter was mentioned in front of Liu Mei, she immediately exploded at the educated youth point.
Because Song Xiangxue and Liu Mei lived together, and this living together included eating. Now that Chen Jiaojiao had said this, Liu Mei's face was lost in front of so many people in the educated youth center.
And now, Chen Jiaojiao specifically requested this meat and did not let Liu Mei eat it, and also said that she had not prepared that portion and so on. Liu Mei got so angry that she started quarreling with Chen Jiaojiao.
After all, when Liu Mei and Chen Jiaojiao started to collect firewood together, Liu Mei also helped a lot, and even during the autumn harvest, when Chen Jiaojiao couldn't do it, Liu Mei would go to help. Who would have thought that after she couldn't bear it anymore, she would be repaid with hatred, and she didn't appreciate the mutual help at all.
All the other educated youth who were just acquaintances were there, except this person who had worked with him and later had a quarrel with him.
Even if you say you don't want to give it, then just don't give it. Why do you have to point it out in front of so many people and tear off other people's faces?
The two of them had a quarrel the day before the holiday.
This time when he was eating meat during the vacation, he couldn't help himself and became angry, which intensified the conflict.
You say that if you just want to eat meat, then it doesn't matter. After all, at that time, everyone eats and wears clothes based on their wealth. Being able to eat meat depends entirely on your own ability or your family's wealth.
However, all these contradictions, the accumulation of small things, plus the words Chen Jiaojiao said while eating meat, directly triggered the conflict.
Chen Jiaojiao and Liu Mei started arguing in the yard. One said that she had no conscience and had taken care of him for so long. The other said, "Did you take care of him?" They all exchanged things for him.
One of them said that the other was lazy and a socialist parasite, and the other said that they had asked for leave from the team leader and were on sick leave, and there was nothing anyone could do about it, as they were indeed sick.
One said the other party was a capitalist and hedonist. The other said, we went to the countryside to build a new countryside, we were all proletarian revolutionary fighters, what does it have to do with you, you can eat if you have money.
Anyway, the mother-in-law is right and the husband is right. I also heard someone quarreling in the yard, but the noise didn't get smaller, but got louder.
"Sister Jia Ren, tell me, why are they quarreling so much? Is it because someone didn't get to eat the meat?"
"You idiot, didn't you hear them say that the meat was bought by one of the educated youth?
You bought the meat yourself, so you can let whoever you want eat it.
This educated youth did nothing wrong. "
"Then why do they quarrel?"
"If I say you're stupid, you really are stupid. You must want to eat meat but are too embarrassed to say it, so you just found an excuse to quarrel. Have you forgotten that many aunts in our team quarreled over trivial matters and then talked about all sorts of things to settle old scores?
This is the same as when we see aunties quarreling. "
"Brother, now that you put it that way, it does seem like it, but that's not right. When aunts quarrel, they always fight, either pulling hair or pinching bodies. How come I only hear them quarreling?"
"We are far away. What if they are fighting and we don't hear it?"
Shen Jiaren heard the two children talking more and more excitedly, so she quickly pulled their hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's go, aren't you going to take me home?
Didn’t you say you would go out and play after sending me home?
Let's go, or you won't have time to play later."
"Sister Jiaren, you are right. These quarrels seem to be all the same. They are not even as good as the quarrels between the aunties in the village, where they can use swear words or fights. There is no point at all. Let's go, we will take you home first.
It’s more important to go out and play with friends.”
"Brother, if grandma or uncle hears what you said, they will definitely beat you up."
"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, and Sister Jiaren doesn't tell you, how will grandma and uncle know?
Sister Jiaren, you won’t tell it, right?
Look, I’m still carrying the basket for you.”
"Well, that depends on your performance."
"Ah, does this depend on performance? I haven't done anything yet, and you want to see my performance? What performance do you want me to have?
What are you showing? "
"Brother, you are the fool. Sister Jiaren is teasing you. Let's go. Didn't you see Sister Jiaren smiling?"
After the two of them finished talking, they jumped and ran in front of Shen Jiaren. Shen Jiaren looked at the basket in Goudan's hand and couldn't help wondering, will the dumplings fall out of the basket when they go back?
Will the tomatoes in this basket be bruised by the basket and become ripe in parts?
Shen Jiaren thought about it and felt that it didn’t matter. Everyone was happy at the moment anyway, and there was no need to break this happiness.
She doesn't even have to carry the basket or get things, and there are two people to take her home. How wonderful it is.
Shen Jiaren also ran after him, "Slow down, be careful not to fall. Goudan, you should also be careful not to break the basket, or your grandma will beat you when she gets back."
"Got it. Sister Jiaren, hurry up."
After running for a while, the three of them arrived at the gate of Shen Jiaren's yard.
"I invite you to come to my house and sit for a while, will you come?"
"No, no, our uncle will take the basket back later. We will leave first. We still have to find other people to play with. Please go in. We will leave after you go in."
Seeing that Goudan rejected her directly and Erya nodded in agreement, Shen Jiaren said nothing more. She took the basket from Goudan and said, "Wait for me a moment. I'll get you something delicious. You can eat it later."
"Sure, we'll wait for you, Sister Jiaren, but you have to hurry up, it's too late and there won't be anyone there when we go to the wheat field of the brigade later."
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there."
After Shen Jiaren finished speaking, she picked up the basket and hurried to the warehouse in the west room. She took out two pieces of peach cakes and six red shrimp candies from the warehouse, and hurried out to give them to Goudan and Erya, asking them to share them.
When Erya saw a piece of peach cake and three red shrimp candies, she said quickly, "Sister Jiaren, you don't have to give so much. If Grandma and Xiaoxiao find out, they will definitely tell on us."
"You idiot, Sister Jiaren gave it to you, so just take it. You have never eaten this peach cake or this candy, you have only seen others eat it. Now Sister Jiaren has given it to you, so just take it and eat it. If you don't take it, how can I take it?
Besides, I have eaten White Rabbit milk candy, fruit hard candy, and even white flour dumplings with pork and cabbage fillings with Sister Jiaren today. Dumplings with so much meat.
This peach cake and this candy are nothing special. "
"Yes, Goudan is right. I am very grateful to you for sending me back today. Goudan helped me carry the basket, and Erya held my hand. Everyone helped me. Since I invited you to be my guests in the house, and you don't have time, you can take this delicacy home and eat it slowly.
As for grandma and uncle, didn’t your uncle just say he would come to help me cook?
You see, aren't we all helping each other?
So I'm giving this to you, just take it and eat it. I just bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative today. If you had come yesterday, I wouldn't have any of this and would only be able to treat you with sugar water.
Hurry up and take your things and go. Didn’t your friends say they are waiting for you? "
"Thank you, Sister Jiaren. Thank you, Sister Jiaren. We are leaving now. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After Shen Jiaren waved to Goudan and Erya, she saw the two of them running towards the brigade warehouse, holding something in one hand and holding hands with the other.
