70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 393 Formal Apprenticeship
After a while, Xie Xiaonian came up with a way, as long as she went in disguised as a different person, wouldn't it be fine to buy a part at a time.

Do it when you think of it, and then, Xie Xiaonian changed her disguise several times from a young girl to an old woman, each time with a different container, and went to the store to buy things needed for embroidery.

I didn't go back satisfied until I went back and forth many times and almost emptied the store's inventory.

Although the salesperson in the store is very strange, how come so many people come to buy something that is not very easy to sell today, and it is so popular.

But she is also very happy, usually this product is not easy to sell, and the profit of the store is not good, she is always criticized, but today's sale is so good, maybe the manager will praise her.

When she happily reported the situation to the manager, the manager scolded angrily: "What is your brain doing? There must be something wrong with so many people coming to buy embroidery thread and embroidery stitches in one day. What if they are spies, immediately go and find the person who bought it for me."

"Manager, we are selling embroidery thread and so on, not airplanes and cannons, how can spies want this?" the salesman said unconvinced.

"Why are there so many nonsense, I told you to go find it, so go find it, hurry up!" Although the manager felt that what the salesperson said made sense, he was a little fussy, but he couldn't save face, and still ordered.

But at this time, Xie Xiaonian had already changed back to her normal attire, and when she got on the bus back to the army, she couldn't find anyone.

Since no one could be found, the manager had no choice but to give up.

He didn't dare to report this kind of thing. If the higher-ups were really arrested as a spy, it would be his own dereliction of duty, and he might be criticized by the leaders at that time, so it's better not to make trouble.

However, he still said to the salesperson, "Next time, if something like this happens again, report it to me right away, do you understand?"

"Understood, manager."

Originally, I came to ask for praise, but was criticized by the manager, and went out to find a group of people in the cold wind. The salesperson was also very depressed at this time.

But Xie Xiaonian bought a bunch of things today, enough for half a year, it will be difficult for them to catch Xiaonian.

Xie Xiaonian ran too many times in the county, and she didn't dare to use such a new bicycle, she walked all on her legs. When she arrived at the army, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

After sending everything home, Xie Xiaonian went to Chen Xiuhong's house with a catty of oranges and a few white rabbit toffee.

"Xiao Nian, why did you come back now? You can really go shopping." Looking at the person at the door, Chen Xiuhong said with a smile.

"Isn't it getting colder and colder? I just wanted to buy everything in one go today. In this way, I can concentrate on learning embroidery with Mrs. Zheng in the future. I don't have to go to the county anymore, just go shopping more." After a while. Dang Dang Dang, see what I brought you?" Xie Xiaonian raised the orange in her hand and said to Chen Xiuhong.

"Ah, it turned out to be an orange. I was just about to eat it. How did you get it?" Chen Xiuhong said in surprise.

This thing is only sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives in autumn, I didn't expect Xie Xiaonian to be able to buy it in winter.

"I'm lucky. There is only one supply and marketing cooperative in the county today that sells these oranges. When I was shopping, I happened to come across them, so I hurried to buy them. They were sold out within a short time after they arrived. , Fortunately, I made an early move." Xie Xiaonian coaxed.

"You didn't go shopping in vain today." Chen Xiuhong said as she picked up an orange, pushed it away and stuffed it into her mouth.

Now that she is pregnant, she wants to eat anything, the rarer the food, the more greedy she is, so she didn't show courtesy to Xie Xiaonian, and started eating it directly.

"Just eat two and taste it, it's so cold, don't eat too much at once!" Seeing Chen Xiuhong's greedy look, Xie Xiaonian instructed aloud.

"Well, I know, don't worry!"

"Mom, why did you come back? I miss you so much."

Hearing Xiao Nian's voice, the pancakes and apples were not afraid of the cold, they hurried out of the warm blanket, ran into the living room, hugged Xie Xiaonian's thigh, and said coquettishly.

"Mom misses you too, look, mom brought you toffee." Xie Xiaonian took out the toffee from his pocket and said to the two children.

"Auntie Xiuhong gave us toffee in the morning, and each of us gave two of them. Let's eat these tomorrow." Pancake replied honestly.

"Well, we have already eaten today." Heping also nodded.

"That's fine, then these mothers will put away for you first, and save them for tomorrow." Xie Xiaonian said gratifiedly as he stroked the heads of the two children.

"Xiao Nian, you really know how to teach children. You don't know. When I brought them candy today, I told them that they can eat candy if you are not here, but these two children refused directly. I ate two, and my mother only allowed me to eat two a day." Chen Xiuhong said enviously.

"Of course, it doesn't matter who taught it." Xie Xiaonian said arrogantly.

After taking the three children home, heating the kang again, and letting Xiao Bai watch over them, Xie Xiaonian went out with two catties of oranges.

This is what she is going to send to Aunt Zheng. Her family is living a tight life now, and she must not be willing to buy fruit to eat.

"I ran into an orange seller in the county today, so I bought a few catties and gave you some to try." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile after arriving at the door.

"Oh, why did you bring so many of such expensive things at once? Just give us one or two to taste, and take the rest back quickly and give them to the pancakes." Zhu Yufang refused.

"I still have them at home, and I happened to meet them today, otherwise, I would have bought them even if I wanted to. This is what I use to honor my master, sister-in-law Yufang, you can't refuse." Xie Xiaonian forced Sexually stuffed the orange into her hand, not to be refused.

Then Xie Xiaonian said again: "I have been shopping in the county for a day today, and I don't know the meal that the Zhongjun made at noon, whether the two children like it, and whether they are full. I won't go in and talk to the aunt right now. Go home and watch the kids."

"Okay, then go slowly." Zhu Yufang said with a smile.

After Xie Xiaonian left, Zhu Yufang happily took the orange into the house and showed it to her mother-in-law.

"Oranges are definitely not cheap in this season, Xiao Nian is really willing to part with them." Aunt Zheng looked at these oranges and said with distress and relief.

"I asked her, and she didn't say anything about the price, but as my mother said, it must not be cheap. But she said that she came to honor you as a master, so I couldn't refuse, and it happens that the house is burning kang now. After a long time, I will feel irritable and flustered, but eating a cool orange makes my heart feel better. Mom, pick up this orange and eat it slowly." Zhu Yufang said.

"No, you can just put it away, and share one with everyone in the evening, try something new." Mrs. Zheng is not the kind of person who wants to control, so she just let go and let her daughter-in-law keep it.

"That's fine, then I'll put it in the kitchen cabinet. If you want to eat, you can take it yourself."

Except for Huanhuan, a milk doll, the rest of the family are adults, and no one will steal the oranges, so Zhu Yufang directly put the oranges in the kitchen cabinet.

I walked too much in the county today, Xie Xiaonian was really tired, so I didn't cook at night, and took my family directly to the space to eat.

She bought so many things, including a bicycle, she definitely couldn't hide it from Xu Zhongjun, so during the meal, Xie Xiaonian gave Zhongjun a rough account of what happened today.

But Xie Xiaonian didn't say anything about those gangsters trying to steal her things, and her pretending to be a ghost, so as to save Xu Zhongjun from worrying.

"Fortunately, you are more cautious. Those people don't have any evil intentions. They are doing business seriously. Otherwise, what should they do if they want to rob? They must ask me to go with you next time, understand?" Even so, Xu Zhongjun asked worriedly.

And what he said just happened to guess the truth of the matter.

"Understood, I will definitely call you next time." Xie Xiaonian said perfunctorily.

Even if he needs to sell things again, Xie Xiaonian doesn't plan to call Xu Zhongjun.

If something really happens, you can use the space to run faster, and call other people, but it will be a burden.

"Tomorrow morning is the time for apprenticeship. Aunt Zheng said before that everyone will be at home in the evening, and you want to have a meal at her house together. When you go to the army tomorrow, tell Dabao to let him come over for dinner at night. Everyone Let's get to know each other." Remembering what happened tomorrow, Xie Xiaonian instructed.

"Okay, I'll tell him tomorrow afternoon that I've already asked for leave tomorrow morning, and I'll go with you to Aunt Zheng's house to learn from a teacher." Xu Zhongjun nodded and said.

"Isn't your army very busy recently? Why do you still ask for leave? I can do it by myself."

"It's okay, it's only a morning, and it won't delay much. It's better for me to be present for such a solemn matter of apprenticeship, so it seems that we attach more importance to it." Xu Zhongjun said.

"Okay, what do you think we will bring to the master tomorrow?" Xie Xiaonian asked enthusiastically.

"Just take some bacon, eggs, white flour and rice."

At this time, food and meat are the most practical gifts.

"That's fine, then I'll take two dried pheasants, hares and fruits, after all, we're going to eat at my master's house, and it's not enough for our family." Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun took their children to Aunt Zheng's house with the apprentice ceremony.

Aunt Zheng's son, Liu Yongjian, also attached great importance to it. He asked for leave in the morning and waited for them at home.

As for the juniors, Aunt Zheng didn't ask them to ask for leave and wait at home. It doesn't matter whether they are juniors present for the apprenticeship, as long as they come back for dinner at night.

Because Xu Zhongjun and Liu Yongjian didn't belong to the same system before, they didn't deal with many times, so they just knew each other.

Now with the relationship between Xie Xiaonian and Aunt Zheng, the two of them have really become close.

At exactly 11:[-] noon, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.
