With this in mind, Su Niannian is no longer so reluctant to spend money.

It was almost one o'clock when Su Niannian came out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Su Niannian put some of the items in her spatial storage and some in her backpack.

There is also a black market near the supply and marketing cooperative, which Su Niannian visited in her previous life.

Once inside, there were even fewer people because it was already noon.

After making several turns, Su Niannian bought some rice, flour, and pork, and then left the black market.

Turning around and entering the state-run restaurant, Su Niannian bought twenty more meat buns, then divided them into two packages with oil paper, putting one package in her spatial storage and the other in her backpack.

Today's expenses have exceeded eighty yuan.

Su Niannian still had more than 130 yuan in her hand.

Seeing that it was almost time, Su Niannian walked towards the oxcart.

When Su Niannian arrived, many people were already waiting there.

"Su, you're here, I've saved you a spot." When Aunt Zhou saw Su Niannian coming over, she moved her bottom closer to Aunt Liu to make room for Su Niannian.

This immediately aroused Zhao Sulan's dissatisfaction.

It was her first time riding in an oxcart, and she had no idea that the planks were so hard, or that she needed to prepare a cushion.

I just wanted to sit on that mat, and the two aunties scolded me.

As a result, when Su Niannian returned, her two aunts actually smiled and invited her to sit down.

It's simply too much!

Su Niannian had just sat down and placed her basket beside her.

Zhao Sulan looked into Su Niannian's basket.

"What smells so bad? It's disgusting. Don't get so close to me," Zhao Sulan said, moving a little to the side and covering her nose with her hand.

Before Zhao Sulan spoke, no one noticed anything amiss, but now, hearing this young educated youth say this, they could smell something unpleasant.

But they were all country folk, and they'd smelled all sorts of stench before, so they weren't too bothered.

"If you're disgusted, just go downstairs and walk. Why make such a fuss?" Aunt Zhou, who was sitting next to Su Niannian, said sarcastically when she heard Zhao Sulan say this, and rolled her eyes.

“Little Su, what did you buy? It has a bit of a smell.”

Aunt Liu was also curious about what the pretty young girl had bought.

"It's a set of pig offal. I plan to buy it and braise it. I'll give some to you, Auntie, when it's done," Su Niannian said politely.

Upon hearing that it was pig offal, Aunt Liu quickly waved her hand.

This stuff is cheap, like one cent per pound, cheaper than rice and flour.

But this stuff doesn't taste good, so it's just a waste of firewood.

Moreover, it's very difficult to clean, just like a pig's stomach, which is full of things that the pig ate but hadn't had time to digest.

And those pig intestines are full of feces, so cleaning them is a real hassle, and no matter how many times you wash them, they still have a smell.

"No, no, my family doesn't like that stuff. And you've been fooled, haven't you? This stuff doesn't taste good at all," Aunt Liu said bluntly.

She's not the type of person who beats around the bush.

"If you can't afford meat, then don't eat it! Why do you have to buy pig offal that nobody wants? Why are you so greedy?" Zhao Sulan clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes at Su Niannian again.

"Whether you're craving it or not, it didn't cost you any money!" Aunt Zhou thought Zhao Sulan was acting like she had a serious illness.

"If you cook it the right way, it can taste even better than pork."

Su Niannian smiled and said, her eyes crinkling.

Naturally, no one present believed this.

If it really tasted good, it wouldn't be selling for this price anymore.

In this day and age, it's not easy to have enough to eat. This thing is a meat dish, so if it were really going to taste good, it certainly wouldn't be sold so cheaply.

But seeing that Su Niannian was just a young girl, they didn't want to say too much. They let her try, and if she failed, they would consider it a lesson learned, since they had already bought it anyway.

Aunt Zhou also sighed helplessly.

It was at this moment that the last aunt, carrying large and small bags, also boarded the oxcart.

Grandpa Zhang urged her to sit down quickly.

As a result, when I sat down, I accidentally sat on the new mattress that Zhao Sulan had bought.

Zhao Sulan complained that the older woman was dirty, and that her newly bought mattress had been soiled.

As a result, she was rebuffed by several middle-aged women.

Those aunties are all quick-witted; Zhao Sulan couldn't possibly handle them.

Finally, thanks to Grandpa Jiang's mediation, the commotion was brought to a close.

Once everyone was gathered, Grandpa Jiang drove his oxcart back home.

The oxcart charges five cents per person when it departs, but not when it returns.

Two hours later, it was already past four in the afternoon, and the oxcart returned to the entrance of Kaoshan Village.

Everyone got off the bus and left.

Zhao Sulan, looking unhappy, hugged her new quilt and headed towards the educated youth settlement.

"Uncle Jiang, here, have this." Su Niannian took a steamed bun with white flour and meat from her basket and gave it to Uncle Jiang, who was driving the oxcart.

"What are you doing? This is such a delicate thing, I can't accept it. You keep it for yourself." How could Grandpa Jiang accept such a precious bun?

This is clearly a state-run restaurant.

"Uncle Jiang, I've just arrived, and I might need your help in the future. Please accept this, otherwise I won't dare to trouble you if I need anything in the future."

Su Niannian stuffed the steamed buns directly into Grandpa Jiang's hands, then picked up her basket and left.

"This girl..." Grandpa Jiang looked at the steamed bun in his hand, smelled it, and then put it away.

Waiting to go back and cook for my wife.

His wife hasn't had steamed buns from the state-run restaurant in ages.

Su Niannian still remembers that she didn't get along well with the villagers in her previous life, and when she was sick, she couldn't find anyone to take her to the county town. This time, she is determined to build good relationships with everyone.

Since it was difficult to borrow a tractor from the brigade, this oxcart became an important means of transportation.

Thinking that it was only four o'clock and Song Zhaodi must not have finished work yet, Su Niannian carried her basket directly to the Gu family's house.

When Su Niannian arrived at Gu Nan's house, she saw Gu Nan working in the yard from the doorway.

Su Niannian was taken aback at first, somewhat surprised that Gu Nan had finished work so early.

But then I thought about it again. This man was so strong and worked so fast. Plus, the planting was already finished, it wasn't the busy farming season, and there wasn't any particularly heavy work to do. He only had eight work points, so it was reasonable for him to finish work early.

So, carrying a basket on his back, he strode inside.

"Sister Niannian is here!" Gu Ningning was helping Gu Nan pick out nails when she saw Su Niannian arrive, and she quickly ran over.

Hearing the noise, Gu's mother came out of the house.

Su Niannian took the basket off her body.

He took out a bag of dates from inside.

"Keep these for you and your aunt to eat; jujubes are good for replenishing blood."

Gu Ningning happily accepted it.

When Gu's mother came out, she saw that the dates were all bright red and quite large even after drying, so she knew they must cost a lot of money.

"Why did you waste money buying this, kid?"
