Traveling into the 1980s: A Cannon Fodder Female Supporter's Guide to Self-Rescue

Jiang Tang made an appointment with Cao Dahua from the beginning. If her grandfather agreed, she would prepare the first batch of grain and wait on a road some distance away from the commune.

At home, Chang Zhirong, Qi Yulan, and Chang Jingyi will not care about this matter, as long as they both agree not to suffer any loss.

But he couldn't let other people in the village see it. After all, a few hundred kilograms of grain was too eye-catching. You should know that it was more than the yield of an acre of land.

So on the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the two parties met on a section of road between the Harvest Brigade and Qiaolin Commune.

They were Chang Wu, Mo Jiangtang and his wife riding a tricycle, and Chang Wuwen was leading the two cousins ​​of the Cao family on the other side.

Cao Dahua rode his bicycle home first, and Grandpa Cao thought that Dahua's younger siblings wouldn't be able to get too many for this first time, so sending two grandsons would be enough.

Moreover, they specially spent a huge sum of money to borrow a donkey cart from the village to drive here.

As a result, when they arrived at the agreed place, the first thing they saw was not the densely packed sacks, but the tricycle.

Oh my god, the eyes of the two brothers from the Cao family were so bright. They were more eager and excited to see the tricycle than to see the bicycle.

Jiang Tang shook his head and laughed. Sure enough, she guessed wrong.

After the two parties met, Chang Wumo and Jiang Tang also got off the car and said hello: "Brother, brother of the Cao family."

Chang Wuwen introduced Cao Dahua's two cousins. The two men, who looked to be thirty years old, looked at Jiang Tang with red eyes.

"You are my sister-in-law. I really want to thank you this time. Thank you so much."

Not to mention the rice bags that can be seen on the car, the two brothers also ate the good things that the eldest sister brought back to her parents' home.

That meat was so oily and fragrant that a man in his thirties almost started crying while eating it.

Because time was tight and the task was heavy, there was no more greetings. Jiang Tang said directly:

"Brother Cao, there are five hundred kilograms of grain in this. I will find a way to prepare this much more at this time and place next month."

The tiger skin has been brought back by Cao Dahua, which was also discussed from the beginning.

In this case, even if someone knew about it, it wouldn't be considered a transaction, it would just be a mutual favor between relatives.

The family is starving to death, but their daughter’s in-laws are capable and can help them borrow food.

Isn't this normal?

During famine years, how many people relied on the support of relatives to get through the most difficult times. Generally, having a relative who could borrow food would make the whole village envious.

As a result, the two Cao brothers kept circling around the tricycle. One of them, looking more shrewd, stepped forward and asked, "Well, can you give us this tricycle?"

Then, he immediately made amends as if he had said something wrong: "If you convert it into food, your brothers and sisters will not suffer."

Jiang Tang was a little surprised, but he still said bluntly: "This tricycle is good. It is made of iron on all sides and has no wear and tear. But, this car is a second-hand old car, not that valuable."

"It's worth two thousand catties of grain, okay?"

Jiang Tang looked at Chang Wumo, but the latter looked at his elder brother.

Chang Wuwen nodded, telling his second brother that the tiger skin had been obtained and kept intact.

But, Chang Wuwen was still a little hesitant.

"Brother, is it really okay for you to do this without going back to discuss it with grandpa?"

After all, Grandpa Cao is usually in charge of major matters in the Cao family, and two thousand kilograms of grain is no small matter. The two Cao brothers shook their heads together. They both knew that even grandpa would make such a decision.

Okay, Jiang Tang said directly: "Brother Cao, then this car and the things in the car belong to you. I will also deliver it next month, but there will be no more in the future."

Brother Cao nodded hurriedly. Both parties to the transaction were very satisfied and happy.

Two people happened to come, one driving a donkey cart and the other riding a tricycle. They were very happy and went back coaxingly.

Looking at that posture, he is no different from the people who drive luxury cars worth tens of millions in later generations.

Until they all went home, Cao Dahua was very happy to know that the transaction was successfully completed, especially when she knew that her brothers at home had tricycles.

She is a native of the mountains, and she knows the great role a tricycle, whether carrying people or goods, can play in Lao Cao's family.

Not only that, Chang Wumo and his wife, who had just returned from the county town, also brought back two sets of ready-made clothes, in an earthy gray color that can be worn by both men and women.

Nominally, Chang Wumo asked a colleague to replace it, but in fact, Jiang Tang bought it from outside. If this outdated style is left in the future, it will end up in the old clothes recycling bin.

Originally, Cao Dahua was still surprised as to why her second brother had to take out his clothes, but then she heard her beautiful and generous younger brother and sister say:

"Brother and sister-in-law, these clothes are for you."

"For us?"

"Yes, when my cousin left last time, didn't he wear my eldest brother's clothes? Brother Mo happened to find someone else to change them for today. It's not very good. Don't dislike it, eldest brother."

Chang Wumo also added: "Last time we saw that my cousin was having a hard time, so we took the eldest brother's clothes and borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. Now we can't let the eldest brother have no clothes to wear."

"It's okay, my little brother is often naked and huddled under the quilt."

Cao Dahua told the truth.

Jiang Tang: Sister-in-law, you don’t need to publicize this, you really don’t need to...

But it was these words from his sister-in-law that made Jiang Tang feel very sad.

It also made her start to reflect on whether she was too selfish?

Even if you can't "do great things and help the world", at the very least, shouldn't you find ways to help more people when you have the ability?

Those two sets of clothes were really "ashy", and everyone else said that. Chang Wuwen was very happy and planned to share one set with his father when he went back.

Jiang Tang was always considerate in his work, and he also prepared a piece of floral cloth for Cao Dahua, so that she and Niu Niu could make a set of clothes each.

As for my mother-in-law, I just made her a new cotton-padded jacket a year ago, so I am not in a hurry to make new clothes now.

Of course, it successfully attracted Cao Dahua's screams.

Jiang Tang couldn't help but wonder, why was her sister-in-law so energetic and screaming so sharply every day?

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny. Cao Dahua asked Jiang Tang with a smile on his face:

"Tangtang, do your jackets, quilts, beds, and quilt covers need to be cleaned? You see, the sun is shining brightly today, so it's suitable for a big cleaning."

Qi Yulan also nodded, "Yes, I have nothing to do anyway. Let your sister-in-law dry all your quilts and mattresses."

They asked their sister-in-law to help wash and dry their clothes and quilts, and the mother-in-law said it carelessly.

The key is that Cao Dahua nodded in agreement, as if it was a blessing to be able to do something for her younger siblings.

Jiang Tang laughed, knowing that this was the effect of the flower cloth, so of course he hurriedly thanked him.

After that, she had been reading with Chang Jingyi. School started on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. Although Jiang Tang didn't have to go to class every day, she still had to report and collect books when school started.
