Chapter 046 Like-minded
A cart that pulls things is a necessity for selling tofu. If there is no car, selling tofu will not be possible.
For the car, Dongmei ran several times to the village. Today, this trip happened to meet the people who were catching family planning in the village and sent back the animals and cars they had taken away earlier.
Why did people send animals and cars back before birth control? The reason is very simple. It is difficult to feed animals in the middle of winter, so it is better to feed them to farmers themselves.
But don’t be too happy too early. People also told the news when they sent animals and cars. Those who should go to fertilize before farming in spring will not go to fertilize, and the animals sent back will be taken away. One of them is counted as one, and no one can escape.
Apart from losing a little bit of a ball, it’s okay to have a livestock. This car or other furniture is left outside for too long without any use, and some of them will be damaged. Some of them are already broken and not very useful.
Some villagers didn't think that these cars, furniture and other things could come back. In order not to delay farming, they prepared new ones long ago, and it would be a bit unnecessary to return the old ones.
Dongmei seized the opportunity and asked the people who had scrapped carts what to do.
The tires of the cart cannot be stored in prematurely. A hard belt on the outside is useless. The soft belt on the inside can cut a rubber band for the child or keep a boot. The wooden board can be chopped as firewood. There is probably only some scrap iron on the whole cart that can be sold.
Dongmei has no money, but she has food, so she asked someone who has scrapped cars to exchange grain for cars, which is more appropriate than selling scrap iron.
Of course, everyone was happy. She had a car after getting the food. Although it was a broken car, I could think of a way to repair it and it would still be possible to hold on for a while.
After getting the car, she pushed her to the old Zhang family in the village who was repairing shoes, and asked Zhang Lao Er to fill her two air-loss tires.
Zhang Lao Er definitely couldn't help her with the fetus for nothing, and he didn't want food either. Dongmei said she could exchange it for tofu. When she made the tofu, she gave him two yuan as the money for the fetus replenishment, Zhang Lao Er agreed.
After getting the tires back, I didn't feel cold. I squatted in the yard and looked at the broken cart and laughed happily.
That night Chunyang came to her and brought her a scale that had broken and was not very good.
Dongmei was very surprised. She looked at the scale for a long time and asked Chunyang, "Where did you do it? I was thinking about where to do it just now!"
"Zhien came back from the town and picked up a lot of good things. He picked up this scale. I thought you could use it, so I took it for you," Chunyang explained.
Of course, I didn’t pick it up in the town, and I used this trick to fool people like before, but I actually got it from the recycling bin.
"It's useful. I'll give you a few pieces of tofu after I'll give you a few pieces. Even if I pick it up, I can't just ask for it." Dong Mei said happily, and began to search for the right thing to cushion the scale plate with the faint candlelight.
When she turned over the small bag at the end of the kang, Chunyang saw a half-knitted red sweater with fluffy mohair in it. I thought it would be very warm to wear it.
There is no problem knitting a sweater, and there is no problem knitting a sweater with mohair. But the key to the problem is that this sweater is very small and is obviously for children to wear.
Dongmei didn't mention Qiaoya herself, so naturally the people around her would not take the initiative to mention it. Chunyang thought that her elder sister had completely emerged from the pain of losing her child. She never expected...
Yes, that was the child that my elder sister had worked hard to give birth to ten months of pregnancy. It almost took a few good days and was so miserable. How could my elder sister easily get out of the pain?
She just learned to hide, hiding all the emotions that would make people worry, and cried secretly in the corner where no one saw it, causing pain quietly.
Chunyang put aside his face and pretended not to see anything.
The scale plate was really bad, with several big holes and could not weigh the grain at all. Dongmei searched for a circle but couldn't find the right thing to put it in. She was worried, and Chunyang suddenly thought of one thing and said in surprise: "By the way, sister, Zhien also brought back a pile of old newspapers for lighting. I'll go back and get a few for you. You can just stick a few pieces together and spread them in the scale plate with paste."
The solution was a good idea, but Dongmei did not let her run, but said, "It's not too late. You chat with me and go back to bed. I'll hurry up and get it tomorrow. Anyway, that thing won't run away with legs."
Obediently and listened to the sound, Chunyang immediately understood that my elder sister was having trouble.
Actually, it’s not a big deal. Dongmei just wants Chunyang to test her learning achievements.
She covered up the pronunciations in the book and read the words to Chunyang one by one.
She read a short text for a long time, and after reading it, she looked at Chunyang with a very embarrassed look and said, "I haven't learned much during this period. How do I read it? I recognized all the words here, but it's a bit difficult to read it together."
Chunyang teaches that children in the first and second grades are mainly encouraged. If you make progress, you must praise them and praise them hard so that the children can be interested in learning. She uses this trick to her elder sister, hey, it’s just as easy to use!
My eldest sister started to read and read in her twenties and studied so seriously, Chunyang would naturally work harder.
She brought the self-study exam textbooks to elementary school, and read books and study in the office when she had nothing to do at noon.
Principal Liu has an attitude of neither support nor objection, as long as it does not affect teaching.
Shen Zhilan's attitude was quite interesting. She came to Chunyang several times to inquire about the self-study exam. Chunyang didn't know much, so she shared everything she knew with her.
As the winter vacation was about to take place, Shen Zhilan finally made up her mind to say to Chunyang: "You are going to the county town to inquire about the self-study exam? I also want to take the exam. Can we go together?"
Then what's wrong! I feel even happier if someone is accompanying Chunyang.
In fact, before saying this to Chunyang, Shin Zhilan wanted to take her mother's brother to take the exam together.
Shen Zhilan's mother's brother is the principal of Xiaofuqiangtun and his education is not very high. Shen Zhilan just wanted to find out what happened to the self-study exam and drag her mother's brother to take the exam. Unfortunately, her mother's brother Shen Zhicheng felt that there was no need to mess around. Now there are no teachers everywhere. He is a principal at least and can still be beaten down.
Without her mother's brother, Shen Zhilan had to go with Chunyang. They were in the same village and it would be convenient for them to do anything together in the future.
On the bus to the county town, Shen Zhilan talked about Shen Zhicheng's attitude towards self-study exams and sighed: "Everyone has to walk forward. I can't always go around in the same place."
Chunyang agreed with this and said, "No matter whether this diploma is useful or not, it is safe to get into the palm of your hand. If it is useless, it doesn't take up space. If it is useful, it is very useful. Do you think it is?"
