This stepmother is a bit crazy

Chapter 20

After getting off the bus, Jiang Linran was so dizzy that he couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed aside the crowd, found a secluded place, squatted down and vomited wildly.

Huang Wenyou followed up and stood behind her with a worried look on his face. He reached out and patted her back. Jiang Linran, who was dizzy from vomiting, quickly waved at him to tell him to go away.

Instead of walking far away, Huang Wenyou squatted down and reached out to pull her two braids behind her back to prevent her braids from falling to the ground and getting dirty.

far away.

A military vehicle passed by, and Zhou Zekai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly narrowed his cold eyes, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly he thought it was impossible. When he wanted to take a closer look, the car had already driven far away.

After Jiang Linran stopped vomiting, Huang Wenyou looked at her pale face and said, "Let's go find a guest house first, take a rest, and go out tomorrow."

Jiang Linran was so weak from vomiting that he stood there exhausted, his legs trembling.

Huang Wenyou and I found a guest house nearby to stay.

After Jiang Linran entered the house, Huang Wenyou stood at the door: "You have a rest, I will buy some food and come back."

Jiang Linran took out a handful of money and national food stamps from his pocket: "Brother Huang, take it first. I probably won't be able to eat much tonight. You can buy some and wait until you get back."

Huang Wenyou pushed Jiang Linran's hand back: "I have it, you rest first."

After the door closed, Jiang Linran slowly took out a bottle of lemonade from the space convenience store, unscrewed the cap and drank half of the bottle in one go. Only then did he feel like he was alive.

He lowered his head and smelled the unpleasant smell on his body, went downstairs and spent two cents to get a bottle of hot water, and then just washed his face, wiped his neck, arms and body.

After scrubbing myself clean, I lay on my back with my whole body limp, thinking about going to the textile and clothing factories tomorrow.

Gradually, just when she was feeling sleepy, Huang Wenyou knocked on the door.

After coming in, Huang Wenyou opened the box: one porridge, one scrambled egg, and one green vegetable.

"You're not feeling well, eat something light."

"Thank you. I feel like this. This is just right for me."

Huang Wenyou looked outside the door. Although he had the certificate with him and the door was open, it was still not good for the two of them to be alone in the same room, and it was not easy to stay there for too long.

"You too."

Huang Wenyou walked to the door, turned around and warned: "When you take a rest later, remember to lock the door."

Jiang Linran nodded, and after he left, he locked the door as instructed, came back and sat at the small table, and ate all the food Huang Wenyou bought without even realizing it.

Since coming here, looking at the people around her, she will eat all the food as long as it doesn't break her stomach, although there is no shortage of food in the convenience store in her space.

With his stomach full and some strength restored, Jiang Linran decided to go out for a walk and get a feel for the situation.

I put my bag on my back and opened the door gently to go out. I was afraid of disturbing Huang Wenyou, so I walked downstairs softly.

When I got to the counter, I handed the waiter on duty five fruit-flavored hard candies.

"Hello, comrade, I would like to ask which way is the textile factory in Xiashi?"

"Looking for someone?"

The waiter who had just ignored him looked at the candy in his hand and raised his eyelids slightly.

"Well, an aunt of mine lives there."

"Go out and turn east, walk about 100 meters, turn right, then go straight, then see the intersection and cross the road.

After crossing the road, I asked someone. "

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Linran followed the waiter's instructions. After crossing the street, he found a passerby and asked for directions again. After more than ten minutes of twists and turns, he finally reached the family area of ​​the textile factory.

I put two two-pound handfuls of dried noodles, a pound of peach cake, a can of milk powder, and half a pound of brown sugar into my shoulder bag. My shoulders were heavy. As I walked, I saw an old woman coming out to collect the garbage. I hurriedly stepped forward and called her to stop. .

"Hi, mother-in-law."

The old woman was holding a dustpan containing garbage and looked at her strangely.

Jiang Linran stepped forward with a smile, gently opened the lid of his satchel, and lowered his voice: "Want some noodles?"

The old woman's eyes flashed and she quickly glanced at the little bit exposed in Jiang Linran's satchel.

"How to sell?"

The old woman looked around nervously and waved to Jiang Linran, motioning for her to follow her.

Jiang Linran followed the old woman to her house and watched her close the door.

Take the dried noodles out of the bag: "One pound is nine cents, and if you don't vote, two points are added. This handful is two pounds, and two handfuls here are four pounds."

The old woman took out one, pinched some, put it in her mouth, and pursed her lips: "I want both, what else do you have in your bag?"

The old woman stretched her neck and looked at her aunt's bulging satchel.

"There is also a pound of peach cake, a can of milk powder, and half a pound of brown sugar. Do you want them? Mother-in-law."

"If you want it, how can you sell it?"

It was rare to see so many good things at once. The old woman was so happy that she grinned and didn't close her mouth for a long time.

Stroking the things Jiang Linran took out, his hands started to shake slightly.

"If my mother-in-law wants it, I'll give it to you at a cheaper price. I just don't know if I can ask my mother-in-law about something?"

As soon as she heard this, the old woman let go of her hands in alertness. People in the streets and roads were using loudspeakers to warn them to be more vigilant and to guard against sugar-coating, bombs and bullets from the enemy.

"What do you want to ask?" The old lady looked dark and grabbed the broom lying aside.

Jiang Linran was stunned for a moment and then realized: "That's it, mother-in-law. Where I went to the countryside, everyone's clothes were patched and patched, so I wanted to ask you if there is any unwanted cloth in this textile factory. Buy some back. Make some clothes for everyone to wear."

The old woman stared at Jiang Linran suspiciously for a long time, then said calmly:.

"Of course there are some in the factory, but if you don't know them, they won't sell them to you."

"Mother-in-law, you are right." Jiang Linran frowned in disappointment.

In an instant, a forced smile appeared on Jiang Linran's fair face.

"Mother-in-law, I'll give you the noodles at the price we agreed on before. I'll take the rest back and ask others to see if I can help connect them."

Jiang Linran put things into his bag as he spoke.

It was a good thing that the old woman didn't see these things. After seeing them, she kept swallowing quietly.

If she wants to sell it to someone else, she will be willing to give it up.

His heart skipped a beat, he took two steps at a time, stepped forward and held Jiang Linran's hand: "My daughter is the team leader in charge of the warehouse. I told her in the evening that you can go directly to the factory to find her tomorrow.

My surname is Liu, others call me Granny Liu, and my daughter’s name is Luo Shuqin. "

"Really? Thank you, mother-in-law. Thank you, mother-in-law. On behalf of everyone, thank you for your help." Jiang Linran happily held Grandma Liu's hand: "I will give these things to you, and I will go find her tomorrow. Could you please tell Sister Luo Say, I don’t want it in vain, I will give you as much as you need, and we won’t poach the collective.”
