Take the Supermarket to Seventies

CHAPTER 33

Looking at Liu Min’s almost distorted facial features, Yu Tong sighed inwardly. In the original world, she had read too much news about patriarchy over girls. She really felt sorry for these children from unhappy native families, so she didn’t want to file a complaint about the bed board. As long as Liu Min solved it in private, she would not do similar things in the future. It’s fine, but Liu Min didn’t feel that she did something wrong, but instead made it worse.

Yu Tong is a little irritable at the moment. After a good time, she was actually taken advantage of. It seems that good things will be different in the future. Some people don’t deserve your kindness in their whole life.

Thinking of this, Yu Tong no longer hesitated, and said directly: “There is a teacher on duty at noon in the dormitory, and you have lived in the dormitory for a year, so you should know it? If I go out, there will be five people in the dormitory plus the teacher on duty. I don’t know. Classmate Liu Min, according to what you said, your pencil case was lost at noon, and I didn’t have time to steal it. Then the question arises, why is this pencil case here?”

Students are big, but after all, they are only fourteen or fifteen-year-old children. At the moment, they are confused and their intelligence is not enough. Yu Tong looked up at Liu Min, with a half-smile: “The pencil box is here with me, there is only one possibility, and that is to frame it. After I came to school, the only people I have dealt with in the dormitory are a few students in the dormitory. They have been with me all the time. We don’t have time to do this kind of thing when we’re together. Then there’s only one possibility left, that you deliberately put the pencil case here with me!”

Having said that, someone suddenly thought of something: “By the way , Liu Min was the last one to leave at noon today, and I asked her why she didn’t go home, and she said she had a stomachache and needed to rest in the classroom.”

Deliberately leaving late, forgetting the things that she always brought with her at school, and Yu Tong really didn’t have time to steal the pencil case, Liu Min’s careful thinking is obvious.

The other students in the class actually looked down on Yu Tong to some extent, because Yu Tong came from the countryside, and the teacher always praised her. They were somehow set as an example, and they were unhappy.

But no matter how unhappy, it’s just a child throwing a temper tantrum, and it’s impossible to really do anything. Only Liu Min used such childish tricks, and everyone looked down upon her.

“Liu Min, didn’t Yu Tong just take up a bed? She was already far away from her home. According to the rules set by Principal Jiang, she just lived in. But you, you obviously have a home in the city, but you still have to rely on it.”

“It’s okay to have enough beds in the past, but now there are not enough beds, isn’t it natural for you to let it out? How can you do such a thing.”

” Stealing is a big crime.” …

Zhu Xiaosu was so angry at Liu Min , she slapped the table twice with her hands, and got up angrily: “Yu Tong, do you still want to help her hide it?”

Zhu Xiaosu shouted too suddenly, and the other students didn’t even react, and looked at Yu Tong curiously.

Yu Tong has already figured it out, she doesn’t need to leave a way for Liu Min, after all, she doesn’t even want it. Yu Tong showed a sad look on her face: “I know she doesn’t like me, because I took her bed, I thought I would hide it for Liu Min, and nothing would happen, but I didn’t expect…”

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?

” Is something wrong?”

“If you have anything to say, just say it directly, and we don’t bully the transfer students.”

” Yes, hesitating, I’m so anxious.” Yu Tong looked at Liu Min, and the word “yesterday” hadn’t been said yet. Suddenly liu min let out a scream. She covered her ears and screamed non-stop. Her sharp voice crossed the noisy classroom, and the classroom was instantly quiet. Everyone looked at Liu Min, either in horror or ridicule, and they didn’t have a good look.

Liu Min was about to cry, but she had nothing to do with Yu Tong. Liu Min made this incident today because she wanted to give Yu Tong a bad word, tell her to be more honest, and shut up about the bed board. It was probably due to Liu Min’s impromptu thought, the matter was not well thought out and full of loopholes, so Yu Tong easily exonerated herself.

But what really made Liu Min angry was the attitude of the other people in the dormitory. They had never been so nice to her before. What did they eat together, go to class together. When did they say a word for her, why did they go around Yu Tong when Yu Tong came only now ? Just for the candy that Yu Tong gave them? !

It is a lie to say that Liu Min is not jealous of Yu Tong, Liu Min is almost jealous of Yu Tong to death. Yu Tong is a villager, why is she praised all kinds of things when she comes here, and the classmates in the dormitory all like her, and the most important thing is, as a villager, she has a better life than Liu Min. Her status in the family is not as good as that of a villager, and her heart hurts.

After all, her father is also the director of the factory. Although he is not a big official, its still a good job. Why can’t she live a good life at all, and have leave all the good things to her younger brother? !

With tears in her eyes, Liu Min shouted at Yu Tong: “Come out!” Yu Tong turned cold, obviously not interested in giving Liu Min another look: “What’s the matter?”

“You, you come out with me…” Seeing that Yu Tong’s expression was obviously cold, Liu Min lost all confidence. When she learned this morning that Yu Tong didn’t tell the teacher, but first told her about the bed board, she thought Yu Tong was afraid of her.

Looking at it now, how could Yu Tong be afraid of her at all? The matter was completely out of Liu Min’s control, she became more and more panicked, and went out first regardless of whether Yu Tong agreed or not. Yu Tong was silent for two seconds, then raised her legs to follow.

Walking into the yard, the rest of the class huddled around the old window frame, trying to look out. But after Liu Min chose the location,they could only look at it, they couldn’t hear what they were talking about. Liu Min said, “What exactly do you want?”

“It’s not me who wants to do something,” Yu Tong glanced over coldly, “It’s you.”

Liu Min bit her lower lip: “What do you want, you just say it, as long as you don’t say it…”

” Are you afraid now? When I asked you this morning, you didn’t admit it.”

But Liu Min just admitted it, and didn’t resist it anymore, so it seems that she is not bad at all, or not very smart.

Thinking of the serious consequences of the incident, Liu Min panicked even more, her voice sounded like she was about to cry, “You, you…what are you trying to do?!”

Yu Tong looked at Liu Min silently, thinking for two seconds Afterwards, he quickly said: “First, go to the class to clarify the whole story of the pencil box incident. You know who got the pencil box best, and I will never take the blame. Second, I don’t need to tell the teacher about the bed board, but you have to Find wood to replace the bed board as soon as possible, and if the teacher finds out, I won’t be able to save you then.” Yu Tong reminded menacingly, “Everyone in the dormitory can testify, so don’t try to deny it.”

Although Liu Min was reluctant , but at this point, she can only agree.

Back in class, Liu Min stammered and said, “Students, the matter of the pencil case is a misunderstanding. It may be that I accidentally misplaced it and was picked up by other students, and they took it as Yu Tong’s. ”

It was very close, and if it wasn’t for Liu Min’s “throwing” of something ordinary instead of a pencil case, everyone would have believed it. But now, Liu Min’s pencil case has almost become her symbol, the whole class knows what her pencil case looks like, who would believe such nonsense?

“Tch, framed framed , and so nice to say…”

” Liu Min is really scary, I thought she was arrogant before, but I didn’t expect her character to be bad.”

” Stay away from her .” Let’s do it later.”

Liu Min lowered her head and walked to the seat without saying a word. She also wanted to refute, but this matter is her problem, what can she refute? The matter was settled for the time being, the bed board let Liu Min figure out a solution by herself, and Yu Tong didn’t bother to worry about it. She wanted to make a phone call to order a bed board before, and ordinary wooden bed boards are not expensive, and she can afford it, but she didn’t expect Liu Min to dig a hole by herself, so she didn’t care about her life or death.

*******************

After studying for two months, Yu Tong didn’t find a chance to go home. At the same time, she also found it too inconvenient to live in a dormitory. Not to mention that it is difficult to get things from the supermarket, the food is also very bad, and most importantly, there are people around her all the time, so there is no chance to go to the black market.

How can you make money without going to the black market?

It seems that Lin Xianglian must be taken to the city as soon as possible.

On Sunday, Yu Tong didn’t have to go to school, Zhu Xiaosu wanted to go out with her, but Yu Tong shied away and said that she wanted to find Lin Feng, so Zhu Xiaosu had to go for a walk by herself. Their home was far away, so they took advantage of this time to go to the supply and marketing agency to get some necessities. Yu Tong was focused on buying and selling on the black market, so she didn’t go with her.

In the past two months, she went to the black market three times in total. After gaining experience, she became a little more courageous, and each time she sold more goods than before, with a total of more than 70 yuan.

She also gave Xie Wencheng 60 yuan, and kept a dozen yuan for herself. It is not easy to go to the supermarket now, and the food in the cafeteria is not good, so she can only exchange food stamps and meat tickets for some food to satisfy her hunger.

Well, when can I rent a house to live in? She still has a lot of pork and mutton in the freezer! How about having a shabu-shabu? !

Yu Tong was thinking about this question while walking towards the school. After taking two steps, she suddenly saw two old people not far in front of her. The two old people looked to be in their seventies or eighties, with gray hair, but the tunic suits on their bodies were straight and their temperament was good, they didn’t look like ordinary people’s.

What Yu Tong was concerned about was not their family background, but that the two old people had a bad complexion, as if they were… sulking with each other.

The old man had a bad temper, he threw away his wife and took two quick steps, as if he deliberately didn’t want his wife to follow, he walked faster and faster. It is said that old people become old children when they grow old, and this grandpa is probably like that.

It’s just that his legs and feet are really not flexible, and he tripped himself before taking two steps. The left foot tripped the right foot, tripping very sincerely.

The old lady snorted coldly: “Are you pretending again? You pretend to be sick every day, don’t try to get away with it this time! Let me tell you, you must eat steamed buns for lunch today, and you are not allowed to eat Meat buns!”

Yu Tong: “…”

She was stunned and envious at the same time. It would be nice if she could also have a relationship of holding hands until the end, but in this day and age, Yu Tong really dare not marry casually. If the other party is too masculine, she will.

When Yu Tong saw the old man fell, she immediately took two steps and ran over. What she didn’t expect was that a girl ran across the road, it was Liu Min. Seeing that Yu Tong wanted to help the old man, Liu Min’s face became stinky. It took her a lot of hard work to replace the bed board, and she still owes a lot of money so far, so she didn’t want to see Yu Tong.

The two stood in place, with big eyes and small eyes, looking at each other disliked. The old lady came over and pulled the two of them to leave: “Don’t bother with him, I don’t believe that he can’t be cured. I’m going to eat steamed buns at noon today. Let’s see what he will do?! How can there be so many steamed buns every day?” White flour? The steamed stuffed bun is so good, just mix it with some vegetables, and you can also put meat in it!”

There is meat without white flour, and Yu Tong was once again stunned by this profound philosophical question.

But after the grandfather fell, he never moved, Yu Tong was still a little worried, she comforted her slowly: “Grandma, you can eat whatever you want, you have the final say, but let’s take a look at grandpa, he haven’t moved…”

“He will play this trick, if you don’t agree with him eating steamed buns, he will pretend to be sick, you see he is so old, why is he still like a child?”

Although the old lady was full of resentment, Yu Tong could see a bit of happiness from her face. She smiled and said, “Let’s go and see grandpa. He’s old, and it’s really hard to get up.”

Yu Tong was at odds, but after all the two old people could not be involved, Liu Min also chimed in: “Yes, let’s go and see grandpa.” Yu Tong turned around and walked back, looking back at the old man who was still motionless on the ground, An ominous premonition suddenly flashed in her heart. Even if he was pretending to be sick, he would have moved for such a long time… Liu Min also saw that something was wrong, so she ran over with Yu Tong to check on the old man’s condition.

After checking, Liu Min couldn’t help exclaiming: “Grandma, grandpa… grandpa, he passed out!” It took Yu Tong more than two hours to send the two old people to the hospital until the treatment was over. Originally, it was okay for the old man to faint alone, but the old lady heard that he had fainted and she also fainted. Yu Tong and Liu Min had to take care of both the old man and the old lady, and they were very busy.

Fortunately, they sent the two to the hospital in time, and both lives were saved. The old man has a bad heart. He is old. To live to be 80 years old is quite a long life in this era. No matter how strong his body is, there will be problems to some extent. The old lady woke up before the grandfather, and when she learned that her husband’s life was saved, she was so excited that she almost cried.

“Little girl, thank you, where do you work, I must write a commendation letter to your leaders!”

These days, it is a very honorable thing for someone to write a commendation letter, and the old lady thought they were from the factory. workers, it is natural to think of writing a commendation letter.

Yu Tong smiled and shook her head: “Grandma, we are still in school, so save your energy to take care of grandpa. By the way, do you need us to inform your children for you? I think it’s not easy for you to walk.”

“That’s a good” Seeing Yu Tong helping others to the end, the old lady felt warm in her heart, “Students are good, and they are all kind-hearted.”

Yu Tong smiled again. After asking for the address, she turned around and went to inform the grandma’s children.

Coincidentally, the address left by the old lady was the factory where Lin Feng worked. It seemed that the old lady’s children also worked in the factory.

As soon as Yu Tong turned around, Liu Min chased after her, and she reluctantly said, “Wait, I’ll go with you.” Probably because they did something good together just now, the relationship between the two is a bit delicate now, between friends and enemies.

When she arrived at the factory, Yu Tong couldn’t enter the gate, so she was stopped by the fierce old man guarding the gate, “What do you two girls want do? You can’t just enter here casually, so hurry back!”

he got angry because of her bad attitude, and just about to push her back, Yu Tong quickly grabbed him.

Yu Tong walked over with the note written by the grandmother, and said nicely, “Grandpa, we are looking for this person, can you inform him? His father is sick, and the hospital is waiting for him.” The old man didn’t even look at it

After glancing at the note, he said angrily, “What is written? I can’t read.”

Liu Min rolled her eyes angrily, and just about to say that you are justified in being illiterate, Yu Tong then said, “It’s called Zhang Jianjun. ”

Hey, didn’t see Yu Tong with such a good temper when you were in school? Really flattering! Here Liu Min was slandering in her heart, and the old man jumped up when he heard Zhang Jianjun’s name:

“What? The factory manager’s father is sick?! Thank you, little girl, you wait for me here, I will go to the factory right away!”

Neither Yu Tong nor Liu Min expected that the grandma’s son would be the director of the factory, and they were shocked at the moment.

After being startled for a while, Liu Min couldn’t help but said, “What’s wrong with this guy? He was so fierce at first, but when he heard the name of the factory manager, he…tsk.”

“No, you misunderstood him,” Yu Tong explained, “My brother works here. He told me that the janitor here is an old man who lives alone. All three sons died on the battlefield, and his wife cried. The uncle and his wife had a very good relationship. After his wife passed away, he never remarried, and he still insisted on defending his family and the country after losing three sons. It’s just that he is old. Now, can only look at the gate, he is serious about his work, since he came, there has been no accident in the factory.”

Hearing this history, Liu Min was amazed, but she couldn’t tell from the appearance That uncle is a good man.

Within two minutes, the uncle called Zhang Jianjun, “Director, these two little girls are looking for you.”

“Uncle Li, you have worked hard, you should go and rest quickly.” It can be seen that Zhang Jianjun is also very fond of Uncle Li. It was respect, and after telling him to rest early, he came to Yu Tong in a hurry, “Little girl, can you tell me what happened?”

” Let’s talk while walking .”

After introducing the situation of Zhang Jianjun’s parents, and knowing that his father’s life was not in danger, Zhang Jianjun let go of his hanging heart, “It scared me to death, I thought this old man was really… well, so are they were arguing about steamed buns, what’s the fuss about it?”

Yu Tong pursed her lips and smiled, “The more noisy the merrier.”

“That’s right, the relationship between them has always been very good, except for the matter of Baozi and Mantou. When the two got married, they claimed to be in love, think about what era it was, and it was really not easy to be able to love freely.”

After talking for a long time, Zhang Jianjun remembered that Yu Tong was just a fifteen- year-old girl , The facts he and Yu Tong said were a bit too much, he said embarrassedly:

“Look at my mouth, I can’t stop nagging, my daughter is about your age, she thinks I’m nagging every day at home. ”

Yu Tong smiled lightly: “Your daughter is very happy to have a father like you.”

Zhang Jianjun saw that Yu Tong’s expression was not right, and he asked strangely, “Where is your father?”

Yu Tong shook her head: “I don’t know, he is missing for a long time, I guess…maybe he’s no longer alive.”

Zhang Jianjun quickly apologized: “Sorry, I don’t know your father…”

“It’s okay, he died when I was very young.” I’m used to it.”

Hearing this, Zhang Jianjun felt more pitiful the more he looked at Yu Tong. In this era of cannibalism, how can we live without a man in the family? In addition, Yu Tong and his daughter are about the same age, Zhang Jianjun brought Yu Tong’s experience to his daughter, and felt a little sad: “You saved my father’s life, if you have anything to do in the future, come to me, I will help if I can !”

Zhang Jianjun is the director of the factory, and his words have a different weight from those of ordinary people. But Yu Tong was still shaking her head: “Uncle, we should save Grandpa. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing should help.”

Finding Zhang Jianjun in the factory is not something that everyone can do. Zhang Jianjun is very sensible, and when he should be grateful, he should be grateful, “What should I do? I know that you saved my father’s life, so I have to repay you no matter what.”

“Do you want your mother to work in the city?” It was Liu Min who had been listening quietly without interjecting, “I heard from my dad that there seems to be a sweeper in the factory, and now many people are watching. ”

Yu Tong looked at Liu Min in surprise, she never said these things to Liu Min, but only once to Zhu Xiaosu.

Liu Min shrugged with an innocent look on his face: “I just overheard you talking to Zhu Xiaosu last time.”

Liu Min said such a thing at this time, and any fool knows what it means. Zhang Jianjun can get into the position of factory as a director.

Yu Tong was a little embarrassed, she wanted to pick up Lin Xianglian, but she didn’t save the old man for this reason, Yu Tong felt uncomfortable with this as an exchange.

Liu Min didn’t care about this, she said directly to Zhang Jianjun: “Uncle Zhang, my dad also works in the factory, you should know him. Yu Tong and I really didn’t want to repay grandpa for saving grandpa, but now Yu Tong and her mother really need a job. I know this job is very popular, but I also believe in your ability. If you have any requirements for this job, you can just tell us, we will work hard to do it, and I just hope you can give us a chance. We don’t need you to make internal appointments, it’s unhealthy, just give us a chance to compete.”

After a pause, Liu Min added: “This is also my wish.”
