Chapter 15(2/2)
"Then if you need anything in the future, just tell my sister in advance and I will get you some if I can."
"Don't wait any longer. Come back next time and get me a basket of eggs, okay? My sister-in-law is in confinement and needs to eat eggs."
It's not the time when chickens lay eggs every day, and it's not easy to buy them in the county or commune, let alone the county. But Sister Cui just felt that Zhao Ke could definitely get it, so she took out fifty cents from her pocket and gave it to her, "What about our commune?"
I will buy it at whatever price it is, this is the deposit."
How could any buyer forcefully buy it? Zhao Ke couldn't laugh or cry, "Then I'll go back and have a look and come back on Sunday."
"good."
Zhao Ke left Sister Cui's house and rode directly to the factory dormitory, where Zhao Mian was already waiting.
She took the cooked eggs and some mushrooms in the car, "Sister, give these mushrooms to whomever you want. I'll be back later."
Zhao Mian held the car and asked: "It's so late, have you eaten? I brought you food in the dormitory."
"I'll come back to eat."
A few minutes later, in the master’s dormitory—
Zhao Ke took out the cooked eggs from his bag, borrowed flowers and offered them to the Buddha, "Master Yu, the eggs I cooked at home are all eggs from my own chickens. You can keep them to eat."
"What are you doing?" Master Yu was very happy when he saw Zhao Ke, but now he said with a serious face, "How can I ask for your food and take it back to eat with my family?"
Zhao Ke chuckled, "Aren't I bribing you in advance?"
Master Yu said angrily: "I will take care of Zhao Mian without you bribing her. She is much more motivated than you."
"That's for sure, it's my sister." Zhao Ke was very proud, "But I'm not bribing you for this. I'm doing it so that when the male workers in the factory pursue my sister, you can help check her."
Master Yu thought of Zhao Mian's beautiful and gentle appearance, "You have to check it."
"Just accept it. If not, I wouldn't bother you."
Master Yu did not refuse this time, and instead invited Zhao Ke to eat meat sauce noodles with her. "The meat sauce my wife brought from the city tastes very good. My son will be here in a few days, and I asked him to bring more."
, you take it back and give it to your parents to try."
"Then I have to be shameless and taste it first." Zhao Ke was polite and casually asked Master Yu how long his son would stay, wondering what gift he would give in return.
The meat sauce noodles were indeed very fragrant. Zhao Ke ate two bowls and was quite satisfied.
"Isn't it crowded in your sister's dormitory? You can stay here with me."
Master Yu's single dormitory has a bunk bed and the upper bed is empty.
It must be comfortable for one person to sleep in a bed, but there was a quilt rolled up on the bunk, which was probably used by Master Yu's family. Zhao Ke was sensible and declined.
And she had eaten from the master, so Zhao Mian had to take the food home to eat.
As soon as daylight came around, the two sisters set off.
The two of them swapped riding, with a person on the saddle. They couldn't move any faster, so they only walked halfway and caught up with a postman.
"Zhao Ke?"
Zhao Ke smiled and greeted: "Are you going to the countryside?"
The postman was also happy to see her, "I have to run several places today, and there happens to be a package from your brigade. Can you help me deliver it?"
Zhao Ke had helped people from the production team get letters before, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, give it to me."
The postman stopped the car, took out a quite large package from a green cloth bag, and handed it to her, "It's from Beijing, for an educated youth named Fu Hang."
After handing over, the postman took out a few pieces of candy from his shoulder bag and said, "This is a thank you gift."
Zhao Ke accepted the candy, took out the walnut cake that Sister Cui gave her yesterday from her bag, and handed it to the other party, "Have you eaten? I'll give it to you. I happened to meet you. I have something to ask you for help."
.”
The postman took it and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"I have a relative at home who is in confinement, and I want to save some eggs to send over. I have a small family, so you can go to the countryside and pick up some for me. If you can, just one basket, or half a basket."
The further away you go, the less valuable it is to collect these. Postmen who go to the countryside are very hard-working, and some privately collect some and sell them secretly in the commune. As long as they are not conspicuous, they are very profitable.
The postman agreed readily. Zhao Ke gave him a deposit of fifty cents and agreed to pick it up from his house on Sunday afternoon. The two said goodbye to each other.
Zhao Mian watched the whole process and became numb to his sister's popularity, "You even know the postman..."
Zhao Ke was modest, "More friends mean more paths."
Zhao Mian looked at his sister's back and remained silent.
Is Zhao Ke really not motivated?
