Chapter 018: A basket of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar
He Pei'er first took the farm tools in the basket to the blacksmith shop for repair, and then came back to get them when she left, and when she was done, she planned to go to the place where the fishing nets were sold, but when she passed by the health center, she met her aunt Hu Cuiying.
"Auntie, why are you at the gate of the hospital, did you bring Xiaobao to see a doctor, or are you sick?"
"I'm in good health, and I took Xiaobao to see a doctor." Hu Cuiying was very happy to meet He Pei'er, her little grandson's body had dragged on for so long, and now she can finally take a good look, thanks to the money Pei'er gave her.
"Oh, that's good. How is Xiaobao? Is there enough money to spend? He Peier only knew that Xiaobao's illness was caused by premature birth, and according to what kind of illness her body was, she didn't care about these in her previous life, and she didn't know if a hundred yuan was enough.
Speaking of this disease, Hu Cuiying sighed, "Your eldest cousin and sister-in-law are taking injections and prescribing medicine in it, Xiaobao was born with pneumonia caused by inhaling amniotic fluid, and it will not get better for a while, so I have to take care of it, and when the child is older and has strong low resistance, it will slowly get better." ”
It turned out that there was still such a disease, He Pei'er nodded, "Then you usually have to take care of Xiaobao and take care of his body." ”
"Aunt knows." Hu Cuiying held He Pei'er's hand with some gratitude, "You have this heart to help Xiaobao, my aunt is very happy, and the money will be slowly saved to pay you back." "My niece is now married to the Xia family, and it is very difficult to live in the future, no matter how difficult her family is, she has two sons to work as laborers, how can she ask for her money.
When she heard that her aunt wanted to repay the money, He Peier wanted to blame her for a few words, but finally thought about it and said in a different way, "You really want to pay back the money, but you must wait until the days are better and Xiaobao is better." Don't squeeze it out of your teeth now, otherwise my filial piety will be in vain, I'm not in a hurry to use money, and I can't starve to death, don't worry about me. ”
He Pei'er knew that her aunt was really good for her, but she was reborn to help them, not to cause trouble for them like in the previous life.
She said this just right, Hu Cuiying had no way to refute it, so she could only pull He Pei'er and nod vigorously, "Aunt knows." ”
"Okay, I still have to go buy something, aunt, you can go in with my eldest cousin."
"Pell wait." Hu Cuiying stopped her, "I prepared a basket of vegetables to bring to you, and when you leave, you will go to the vegetable market to find your eldest cousin, put the things in him, and let him send them to your home when the time comes." ”
Unexpectedly, her aunt brought her vegetables, all of which were grown in her own field, He Peier did not refuse and responded with a smile. Her eldest cousin usually likes to sell home-grown vegetables in the vegetable market, and it would be good to go to him when she leaves.
Saying goodbye to her aunt, He Peier went to the barber shop first, she wanted to cut her long hair.
Her hair is yellow and split ends, severely malnourished, too long and not easy to take care of, this year to wash all the hair with water or alkali powder, not every day to wash not clean at all.
He Peier's hair was cut just over the shoulders, which can be tied up or draped over the shoulders, so she adjusted her hairstyle a little, and she didn't expect that she was a little less rustic and more temperamental, but the clothes on her body were not very good, and they were washed white and patched, and when she earned money, she must make two clothes for herself first.
Coming out of the barbershop, He Peier went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy fishing nets, and when she came, she had already planned, she asked for a long leak net, a net cage, and two small throwing nets.
She had observed the waterhole, and the deepest part in the middle might be chest-high, and if the water would grow longer in the rainy season, she could use these nets just to intercept and trap.
After buying the net, He Peier first stored the things in the shop, and then came to pick them up when she left, and walked around the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy something else.
Today she brought thirty yuan out, to be honest, there is basically nothing at home except for some food and some of the simplest household items, if she had been in her previous life, she would have made do, but now it is different.
She is a person who has lived in modern society for decades, you say that there is no dish soap for washing dishes, and now there is no oil and water for food, just scalding it with hot water, but she can't accept it without alkali powder for washing clothes, and she can't accept it without soap for taking a bath.
And her shoes are torn, her big toes are about to be exposed, and the toothpaste is almost gone, and the toothbrush has to be replaced, and the salt has to be bought, and there are peas, ginger, and garlic......
He Peier picked and chose and bought a lot of them, even Xia Lin and the ugly mother-in-law were counted.
Passing by a place that sells rice, noodles, tobacco and alcohol, she saw brown sugar, and wanted to buy two catties, but she wanted to buy sugar tickets, she almost forgot about it, and now some rare things in this era still need tickets.
In the end, He Peier's candy was also bought, but a few cents were added.
Alas, it seems that the money in this era is not bad, and she has spent twenty yuan from the supply and marketing cooperative, and she still wants to buy some peanut oil, and when she leaves, she invites his eldest cousin to eat a bowl of noodles, and then goes to the blacksmith shop later, and there is not much money left.
He Peier was carrying most of the basket of things, and she also met her younger brother He Yongzi at the place where she bought oil.
He Yongzi was carrying two empty baskets, and it seemed that he had just gone to the grain station to sell grain.
"Second sister, are you here alone? Why did you buy so many things, I'll help you carry them. He Yongzi almost didn't recognize the second sister who cut her hair, and after a closer look, she felt that the second sister had cut her hair beautifully, at least it was different from other girls, and it was no longer the same two big braids.
He Yongzi was very happy to see his sister, and when He Peier put the oil away, he wanted to help her put down the back basket and he would help carry it.
"Yongzi, no need. It's all light little things, I'll do it myself, but why are you alone? Daddy. "He Yongzi dropped out of school to help at home after finishing elementary school last year, although he is a fourteen-year-old young man, but he is also growing up, these two baskets of grain are forty or fifty pounds, how to let him pick it up, where is the father of the bun.
He Yongzi knew that the second sister felt sorry for him, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the back of his head, "Dad went to help someone repair a new house, and the eldest sister and mother were also there just now, so I took the money and left." "Fortunately, the two of them walked fast, otherwise they would probably show the face of the second sister again.
It turned out to be like this, I didn't expect Luo Biqun to fight so hard, and I didn't know if he took the three hundred yuan in her pocket, disrupted her plan, sold grain, and asked Baozi's father to go out to help people repair houses to earn money, it seems that he Qiushui made a dowry.
"Yongzi, it's not too early, let's go eat a bowl of noodles with my sister, it's rare to meet, sister invites you."
He Peier took He Yongzi to the vegetable market together, thinking about calling her eldest cousin to eat together, it was almost twelve o'clock now, and it would take two or three hours to go back, although she could endure it, but she didn't want to wronged herself.
He Yongzi drank two bowls of clear soup and little water slag porridge for breakfast, and his chest was already attached to his back, and he was not polite to his own sister, but He Peier's eldest cousin Xiao Shaoguo said that he was unwilling to go.
