Chapter 162 How much is a catty?
Xu Chengcai couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, how dare you think that Su Zhiqing is a cloud in the sky, and your son and I are mud in the ground! Am I worthy?"

"Also, I heard from Uncle Zhiqiang that Su Zhiqing actually has the same surname as us, but I don't know what happened here, and later changed my surname."

"She is of the same family as us!"

There is also an unwritten custom in this era that people with the same surname are not allowed to marry.

Especially the same family, that is equivalent to that.

Cheng Cai's mother quickly slapped her mouth, "Hey, look at my nonsense."

Susie and Qiao Mu had gone far outside, Qiao Mu held Susie's hand and put it in his pocket to keep warm, the two walked forward close together.

Arriving at the collective household's yard, Qiao Mu reluctantly took out Susie's hand.

He whispered: "You don't have to get up too early tomorrow, I'll call you when we're done."

A few people discussed it, get the charcoal into the car early tomorrow morning, and go to the county.

Susie nodded, took the flashlight from Qiao Mu, and waved to him, "Go to bed early."

Before going to bed, Susie set the alarm clock to 04:30. As soon as the alarm clock rang in the morning, she immediately stopped it, and then got up lightly to get dressed.

After getting dressed, Susie went to call Qiao Mu and the others, who knew that they all got up.

Qiao Mu was not there, and Zhu Zhicheng said that Qiao Mu had gone to drive a tractor.

Susie hurriedly scooped up water to wash.

After a while, I heard the sound of a tractor outside the yard, and soon the sound stopped.

Qiao Mu came in from the outside, and together with Zhu Zhicheng and Yuan Gang, moved bags of charcoal from the house to the car.

The three of them moved quickly, and it was only after five o'clock when dozens of bags of charcoal were loaded into the car.

Susie stuffed each of them with two boiled sweet potatoes, and they devoured them hungrily before getting into the car.

Susie wrapped her down jacket tightly, covered her head with a scarf, and climbed onto the tractor.

Zhu Zhicheng was careful. Seeing that the car was windy, he deliberately pulled Yuan Gang to adjust the direction and shield Su Qian from the wind.

It was past six o'clock when we entered the county seat. Su Xi identified the direction and directed Qiao Mu to drive directly to the food factory.

The gate of the food factory has not been opened yet, only a small door has been opened.

Susie got out of the car and entered through the small door. When she was about to reach the reception room, she saw the gatekeeper coming out with a kettle.

Susie smiled at the uncle, and the uncle recognized him immediately. When Susie left last time, Han Bomin sent Susie to the yard and gave her a tractor. The uncle was very impressed.

He smiled and said, "To see your uncle? Why didn't you drive the tractor today?"

"The tractor is parked outside, and I'm planning to trouble you to open the door." Susie said while putting a box of pastries in her hand on the table in the reception room.

The uncle's eyes were narrowed with a smile. After all, he is a relative of the factory manager. He is beautiful, polite in speech, and generous in his actions.

He put down the kettle in his hand, picked up the key on the table, "Oh, what are you doing so politely, I'll open the door for you."

The uncle opened the door, Qiao Mu drove the tractor in, Susie thanked the uncle for jumping into the car, and directed Qiao Mu to drive forward.

The tractor didn't stop until the last dormitory building.

Several people got off the tractor to move their hands and feet, Yuan Gang asked: "It's so early, your aunt and the others probably haven't woken up yet."

Susie looked at her watch, it was six forty, it was too early.

She looked up at the window at the east end of the second floor. The light was on.

She guessed that aunt and the others were just getting up, and they might be busy washing at the moment.

Susie didn't go upstairs until seven o'clock.

The living room door of the aunt's house was still closed, and Susie was about to reach out to knock on the door when it was suddenly opened.

Han Feng stood by the door and looked up at Su Qian for two seconds, then suddenly called in, "Mom, Sister Qian is here!"

Xu Zhixia was changing the briquettes in the stove, she turned her head and waved to Su Qian, "Come in, come in, why are you here so early in the morning?"

Su Qian said: "The charcoal I mentioned last time is ready, so I'll pull it here."

Xu Zhixia changed the coal, put on the lower lid, "Have you pulled it over? Then I'll ask your uncle to go down and move it."

Susie held her back, "No, there are a few male educated youths from our production team below, and they can help move it."

Xu Zhixia nodded, "That's fine."

"You haven't had breakfast yet, how many people are there?"

Susie quickly waved her hand, "We've eaten, we cooked sweet potatoes this morning."

Xu Zhixia combed her hair facing a mirror on the wall, "What's the use of sweet potato tops!"

"Han Feng, take more meal tickets and bring up twenty steamed buns."

Han Feng agreed, went into the house to get the meal ticket, went to the kitchen to get a big basin, and then went downstairs.

After Xu Zhixia combed her hair, she dragged Susie downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I saw that the tractor was downstairs, and there were three awesome guys standing beside the tractor, especially Qiao Mu, who stood upright and handsome.

Xu Zhixia smiled and said, "How come the Fengshui in Yangjiao Village has raised people recently, all these guys are so energetic."

She stretched her head and looked into the bucket, "Yo, there are quite a few."

"Let me see how the quality is."

Zhu Zhicheng opened a sack, revealing the dark charcoal inside.

He shook the bag a few times, and the charcoal made a crisp sound as it collided together.

Su Qian said: "This charcoal is easy to burn. We have burned it in our house for a few days. The fire is big and there is no smoke."

Xu Zhixia nodded, "Okay, how much is a catty?"

This stopped everyone from asking, and no one knew how much to sell for a catty.

Su Qian said: "Auntie, we will follow the price you bought last year."

"How much did I buy last year?" Xu Zhixia thought for a while, "It seems to be five cents a catty, yes, that's the price!"

Susie nodded, "That's five points." Then she discovered a problem, they didn't have a scale!
Xu Zhixia obviously noticed it too, she thought for a while, "There is a scale in the cafeteria, let's go to the cafeteria to weigh it."

Xu Zhixia led the way, and Qiao Mu drove the tractor behind her.

The canteen is not far from the dormitory area. The car stopped beside the canteen and saw Han Feng coming out with a large bowl of steamed buns.

Xu Zhixia beckoned him over, pointed to the steamed buns in the basin, "Each of you take two."

The educated youths were all from the north, and steamed buns were their staple food, but it was rare to eat them when they came to the south. Now when they saw the white and fat steamed buns, they felt very attractive, but they didn’t like them. Feel free to reach out.

Su Qian smiled at Han Feng, reached out and took one, and said to Qiao Mu and the others, "You are welcome, eat."

The few people were still embarrassed to take it, so Xu Zhixia picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it in their hands.

Zhu Zhicheng still had black ashes in his hands, Xu Zhixia handed the steamed buns to him, he quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, and took the steamed buns.

Xu Zhixia told Han Feng, "You go back first." Then she said to several people: "You eat first, I'll go to the cafeteria to borrow the scale."

A few male educated youths were at the age when they could eat, and they took steamed buns and ate them with big mouthfuls.
