Rebirth 80: Beautiful Hot Wife in Charge

The old lady also wanted to buy matches. She even borrowed a few matches from someone else's house yesterday!

Now that I have bought them, I have to return the borrowed matches.

"Buy ten boxes, and you and I will each split five boxes, okay?"

The woman, who was a little hesitant, immediately agreed after hearing this.

The main reason was that she wanted to buy other things, and ten boxes of matches were really too many.

When supplies are hard to buy, everyone lives frugally.

Sometimes I would borrow fire from other people’s stoves, which was also a common thing.

"Come on, let's each have five boxes. I really can't use so many."

Xue Xiaozhu also understood and smiled as she took out ten boxes of matches: "If you think it's too much, you can share it with the people in the village!"

"I don't come here often. As you know, this place is far from the city."

"It takes time for me to go into the city, and it takes time to get here. If I didn't have something to buy, I wouldn't come here, right?" Xue Xiaozhu didn't lie to them.

I have to go to work every day to earn work points, and now I have to squeeze in time from time to time to collect things.

This matter will take time to come.

"The girl is right. She doesn't always have time to come here."

"Look and see if you want anything. Buy it quickly, or you'll have to wait a long time."

The old lady picked out the things she needed and was not at all hesitant about spending money.

If you don't spend money now, you will have to walk seven or eight hours to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city to buy it, but they don't have a branch of the supply and marketing cooperative here.

No one wants to open a company here, for no other reason than it's too remote.

"Get me some needle and thread."

"There's also clam oil here. Give me one, I was just about to buy one!"

Everyone took the old lady's words to heart and understood that this was the truth.

It is indeed not easy to come here.

If this girl didn't have a bicycle, she probably wouldn't want to come here.

If it were them, they would definitely not be happy to walk such a long way to get here.

Xue Xiaozhu leaned on his bicycle, talking about prices with a smile on his face, picking out some things for them from time to time, and asked if they had any eggs at home.

Is there anyone who goes to catch eels and loaches?

When the child heard her words, he immediately raised his hand: "Yes, yes, yes, Uncle San is the best at catching loaches. He has a lot of loaches and eels at home!"

"Where is this third uncle? Come, I'll give you some bean cake." After hearing what the child said, Xue Xiaozhu took a piece of bean cake and gave it to him.

This bean cake is made of glutinous rice and coated with soybean powder. It is very fragrant.

The child took the bean cake and couldn't help but take a bite: "I'll go call Third Uncle."

When the villagers who were buying things heard the name of Third Uncle, they talked to Xue Xiaozhu about his situation.

"Old Third Uncle is the oldest bachelor in our village and has never married."

"What do you mean by single? He was in a relationship before, but his partner died and he never found another one."

"If there is such a thing, why not look for one? You don't even have a girl anymore, you can't just stick to the old ways and live your life like that! It's so miserable!"

How can I survive without a wife to help me cook and sew clothes?

Some people who are more open-minded shook their heads in disagreement when they heard this.

"What's so shabby about it? You guys haven't had much dealings with him."

"I'm living a good life, but you guys are treating me like a lunatic!"

"He married his deceased partner. He is a married man."

Xue Xiaozhu was not surprised when she heard this. No matter which era, there are always infatuated men, but they are rare.

The third uncle they were discussing was quickly pulled over by the children.

Uncle San was wearing sky blue trousers and a white jacket.

"You want eels and loaches!" Uncle San came over and got straight to the point without any greetings.

Xue Xiaozhu nodded: "Yes, uncle, how much do you have at home?"

"There are quite a lot, at least a whole basin. If you want, come with me to have a look." The third uncle compared the size of the basin. He was also free and went to catch loaches.

There are quite a lot of them, we have to go and take a look. Xue Xiaozhu asked her elder sister to collect the money and help sell things.

Seeing her sister going to collect eels, Xue Xiaotao was very nervous. She was afraid that she would remember the price wrong, sell the wrong thing, or collect the wrong money. Wouldn't she lose money then?

When he arrived at his third uncle's house, Xue Xiaozhu saw the eels in the basin. They were quite big.

"Uncle, you are really capable. The eel you caught is so big!"

"No one here catches these things, and even if no one catches them, they grow big." The third uncle moved the eels in the basin to make them move.

"Uncle, I'm charging fifty cents. If you think it's okay with you, I'll take them all." Xue Xiaozhu counted the eels in the basin and felt that he could eat them all.

She brought the money with her, mainly because she had to collect eggs later and was afraid that the basket would not be able to hold them all.

So, I have to weave another basket when I get home, so that I can put two more in the back. How nice.

When Uncle San heard the price, he didn't bargain. Even if he sold it to the supply and marketing cooperative and it was a little more expensive, he would have wasted a day.

After walking for a whole day, you must rest the next day and there is no way to go to work.

After thinking about it, it’s not worth it.

"Okay, fifty cents is fifty cents. I'll go borrow a scale." The third uncle was very straightforward.

After borrowing the scale, Xue Xiaozhu took the basket, weighed it first, and then poured the eels into it. It was difficult for two people to lift it, so they had to lift it together.

The child eating bean cake squatted, licking the bean cake while watching the moving eels.

"Uncle, this looks like a snake!" The child felt it looked a bit like a snake's nest.

Xue Xiaozhu laughed after hearing this. It was indeed a bit similar, and it would definitely be scary to see at night.

"Calculate it in whole kilograms, sixty kilograms." After looking at the scale, the third uncle erased the zero.

"That's thirty yuan." Xue Xiaozhu took out all the money in her pocket. She had two big unity banknotes in her hand, and the rest were miscellaneous banknotes.

After taking the money, Uncle San counted it carefully and nodded only after the amount was correct.

"Okay, you can take the eel! Next time you come, I'll catch it every day."

"It will probably take a few days. I will definitely come to find you when I get here." Although Xue Xiaozhu can catch eels by himself, it is too tiring and it will take until very late.

If you can’t sleep well at night, how can you have the energy to do things during the day!

"Okay, come here to find me." Uncle San nodded.

But there is something that Xue Xiaozhu has wanted to ask since a while ago.

"Uncle, did your village slaughter a pig?" Xue Xiaozhu heard the pig's squeal.

When the third uncle heard her words, he understood: "It's another pig slaughter. Do you want pork? The village chief and I are relatives. I can help you buy two pounds."

There was no extra left, after all, every household in the village had to share pork.
