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

Chapter 18 Girl's Heart

Looking at the points that had arrived, Jiang Tang was very satisfied.

Then she discussed with her mother to see if we could find an opportunity to go to the commune or the county town in a few days.

"Send these herbs to the hospital, and mother, we can't sit at home and eat nothing all the time."

Jiang Tang told Su Huijuan that in fact, the situation outside has changed a lot now, and they don't understand it when they stay in the mountain nest every day.

It would be difficult for a person to live a good life if he only relied on the weather. There are many other ways to make money.

Su Huijuan understood the truth immediately, but no one had ever told her this before, and she never dared to think about it.

Now the daughter only raised it a little, Su Huijuan suddenly realized, and the mother and daughter went down the mountain happily carrying the basket and going home.

The herbs were placed underneath, and the top was covered with wild vegetables. On the way back, we would definitely meet some nosy women on the team.

When looking at Jiang Tang, their eyes were meaningful.

Then I saw the wild vegetables in Su Huijuan's basket, and when I looked at each other, I was speechless at the domineering old woman from the Jiang family.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang thinks she has a good reputation. In fact, who doesn't know her? She is greedy, likes to take advantage of others, and likes to control everything in the family.

Obviously, his son is married and he has a lot of grandchildren, but he refuses to divide the family. Every year, he clings to the money and food he gets from the work points in the team.

He also bullied the orphans and widowers of Lao San's family. It was clear that Jiang Lao San and his wife were the ones who worked the most in the fields before.

As a result, now, his wife's stomach is so full that she digs wild vegetables.

Of course, everyone just murmured in their hearts and never said it out loud.

Even if you sympathize with the mother and daughter, it doesn't matter. No one has a surplus of food these days, so it's good to be able to take care of their own family's food rations.

After returning home, everyone was busy with their own business. Su Huijuan went to sort out the few herbs, sort them out, and then put them in a dustpan to dry.

I didn’t pick much this time. In my daughter’s words, I wanted to test the water first and see what the hospital’s purchasing price was.

If you can really change it for a few cents, you can definitely pick more.

In fact, there are quite a few of these herbs in Houshan, but most of the people on the team don't know them, and it takes more than just one herb to cure a disease.

Therefore, no one usually picks it.

Jiang Tang made a fire to cook, and the water tank was full these days.

Every two or three days, Jiang Tang would give Brother Qiangzi three eggs, and he would not only fill up the water tank at home.

He also worked hard to help sweep the floor and do other tasks that required hard work.

At this time, most people were still kind and simple. They probably felt that just carrying water and three eggs was not enough, so Jiang Daqiang would rather do more work.

At night, they each went back to their rooms to sleep, but it was too early and Jiang Tang was not sleepy yet.

So she continued shopping in the mall. She now has more than 1000 points. If she doesn't buy, can she afford the hard work of washing clothes and cooking every day?
There is not much to see in the food section, and most of the things you bought can’t be taken out, so I just browsed through the categories of daily necessities.

As a result, Jiang Tang saw a large package of colorful headbands. The description on it said that there were [-] hairbands and only ten points were needed.

It was too cheap, and the style and quality looked pretty good, so Jiang Tang planned to buy it first.

If she goes to the county town to do small business in the future, these things can be used as goods.

There were also some other things, all of which were cheap and beautiful, and Jiang Tang was very moved.

She knew that after the end of this year, the policy would be gradually relaxed, and someone in the county would start trying to do some small business.The book describes the heroine's process of starting a business, but it is difficult to grasp the scale. I don't know the rules and I don't know where the market is.

Jiang Tang doesn't plan to take risks, but he should prepare in advance to be prepared.

It's not urgent to go to the county hospital just yet. Her mother hasn't dried the fresh herbs yet, and the oxcart won't go to the county in the next few days.

She didn't want to try walking there by herself, a several-hour round trip, and Jiang Tang didn't want to harm her feet like this.

The commune market happened to be held in a few days, and Jiang Tang wanted to go see it.

Although private sales are prohibited these days, it is still possible to exchange things for things. Otherwise, what if there are always things in life that people cannot grow themselves and need to buy?
On the two days at the end of each month and the beginning of the next month, a group of nearby societies will set up stalls at fixed locations in the commune.

Most of the goods on the stalls are home-grown vegetables and fruits, as well as some small handicrafts. If you like them, you can exchange them for what you bring.

General grains such as wheat, peanuts, sesame, eggs, etc. can be exchanged in hard currency.

Speaking of which, the original owner rarely had the opportunity to go to the market. Jiang Laosan usually went to buy whatever he needed at home.

They rarely use what they can get, and they don't have any money anyway. Old Mrs. Jiang wishes that her family doesn't need anything except food and clothing.

So Jiang Tang got up early the next morning and discussed with her mother about going to the commune market, especially the famous state-owned hotels and supply and marketing cooperatives in later generations. She really wanted to see them.

After discussing it, the couple decided to go there on the second day of the market, which is at the beginning of next month.

For no reason, Jiang Tang simply thinks that the days at the beginning of the month are better than the days at the end of the month.

Although they were also walking, time passed quickly as the two of them walked and talked at the same time.

Moreover, Su Huijuan made various preparations before setting off. Not only did she bring water, but she also cooked a few eggs she had at home and planned to give them to her daughter to eat on the way.

"Tangtang, you've never been there before, so you don't know what's going on over there at the market, right?"

The mother and daughter chatted all the way, and Jiang Tang had a general understanding of the market.

However, she knew that her mother didn't go out much, so she decided to wait until she got there, and she believed it with her own eyes.

To be honest, it seems different from what she imagined?
There weren't that many people, and there weren't many items on display at the stall, so Su Huijuan told her daughter.

Most people only change things before the New Year. Now that spring has just begun, everyone is tight on money.

You can get by in a tight squeeze, and there is no need for extra purchases.

Jiang Tang didn't care and still watched with interest.

She went out this time mainly to gain experience, and also to verify with her own eyes what things on the market can be circulated.

It was just right. As the mother and daughter were walking, Su Huijuan suddenly pulled the corner of her daughter's clothes to make her stop.

"There is a hair tie here, Tangtang. It will definitely look good when you tie your hair with this." Su Huijuan said enthusiastically.

Jiang Tang took a look at her mother, who suddenly had a girlish heart, and the black hairbands on the stall, with a complicated expression on her face.

It is the most primitive and oldest kind of headband, with a circle of black wool wrapped around the rubber band.

After all, if you tie your hair directly with a rubber band, your scalp will hurt and it will break easily. Wrapping it with wool will eliminate these worries.
