The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 43 Second visit to the county town

Chen Xiaolin left the state-owned hotel and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. She originally planned to buy a women's bicycle, but unfortunately it was out of stock now. She could only make an appointment with the salesperson to leave one for her when the goods arrive, and come to pick it up a month later. .

In this era, there were not many things in the supply and marketing cooperatives. Chen Xiaolin bought two kilograms of peach cakes and a can of malted milk and gave up. She bought two kilograms of peach cakes and malted milk specifically for Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen. The original owner left so much money to Chen Xiaolin, so it was right for her to take care of her grandparents.

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Xiaolin put two dried chickens in the basket. This time she mainly wanted to come to the scrap collection station to see Old Man Liu and find out if there was anything worth collecting.

"Grandpa Liu, I'm here again."

"Xiaolin, it's you! Why are you here when you are free?" Old man Liu took a look and found that it was Chen Xiaolin, so he continued to sit on the chair and doze off.

"It's almost the autumn harvest. There's a holiday in the village, so I'll bring some goodies to see you." Chen Xiaolin took out the dried chicken from the basket and put it in front of Old Man Liu.

"You are going up the mountain! Your hunting skills are good!" Old Man Liu knew that Chen Xiaolin was learning martial arts from Chen Dazhu, so he was not surprised at all that she could hunt pheasants.

"It's not bad! Grandpa Liu, I'll go find some books first, and I'll talk to you when I come out later." Chen Xiaolin saw a lot of waste piled there, as if it had just been delivered, and she wanted to hurry up Go in and take a look.

Old man Liu waved his hand to her and continued to close his eyes. He knew that Chen Xiaolin, a drunkard, did not care about drinking.

Chen Xiaolin entered the yard and was almost stunned when she saw the large pile of various garbage in front of her.

She quickly took out her gloves from the space and started rummaging through the garbage hill for what she wanted.

This garbage hill must have been delivered not long ago. There are many smashed bottles and cans in it, and a pile of torn books.

Chen Xiaolin saw that a copy of Dream of Red Mansions was only slightly scorched, so she wanted to take it back to pass the time while waiting for Mao Dong.

Who knew that as soon as she picked it up, she felt something was wrong. The book seemed heavier.

When I opened it, I saw that there was no book here. It was obviously just a small box. The owner of this box is so talented that he even used a Dream of Red Mansions book cover to wrap the box without knowing what good things were inside.

It's not convenient to see it now, so Chen Xiaolin put it into the space.

Chen Xiaolin also found a box of marbles and two small wooden guns. I also found a used hoe and four intact small stools.

Chen Xiaolin looked through it carefully, but she really didn't find anything good, so she gave up. It was all novels that misled people. At this time, those valuables had long been secretly hidden, so it was her turn. But today's harvest is still good, she shouldn't be so greedy

Chen Xiaolin showed the things she found to Old Man Liu, gave him a dollar and left.

Chen Xiaolin came out of the waste collection station, found a deserted place, and put the four small stools into the space. As for the other things, she planned to put them on the open side.

Chen Xiaolin took out five kilograms of pork belly and a pig's head from the space. She planned to braise the pig's head tomorrow. She had not eaten braised pork for a long time.

Chen Xiaolin looked at her watch and saw that it was getting late. It would be two o'clock in the afternoon soon. She had to go to the post office to mail the translated books.

When Chen Xiaolin came out of the post office, she happened to see Chen Mu sitting on the tractor waiting for someone.

"Brother, when will you go back?"

"Xiaolin, why are you here? Did you walk here this morning?" Chen Mu went to find Chen Xiaolin in the morning, but he didn't know where she went. He only saw that the door was locked.

"Didn't I set off early? I came here running."

"Next time you can wait for me to ride the tractor to the county seat. It's more than thirty kilometers away and you're too tired to walk." Chen Mu knew that Chen Xiaolin had the habit of running every morning. Chen Mu really admired her for this.

"Okay, I understand." Although Chen Xiaolin agreed quickly, if she comes to the county next time, she will still choose to ride an electric bicycle before dawn. After all, the tractor is really uncomfortable to ride on.

Chen Xiaolin and Chen Mu hadn't chatted for a while before people from the village came back one after another.

Aunt Chen and Liu Hua also came to the county town today. They came carrying large and small bags and saw Chen Xiaolin who was talking to Chen Mu.

Aunt Chen was quite surprised to see Chen Xiaolin. She thought Chen Xiaolin had not come to the county seat! "Xiao Lin, did you come here on foot?"

Chen Xiaolin heard Aunt Chen's voice and turned around to see her and Liu Hua walking over carrying a lot of things. Quickly take some of what they have in their hands. "Auntie, sister-in-law, I came to the county town for a jog this morning, so you didn't see me."

"Why are you so brave? You dare to come to the county town alone before dawn." Aunt Chen gently patted Chen Xiaolin. This child is really brave.

"Oh! Auntie, don't worry! I'm definitely not the one who suffers when I meet a bad guy." After more than two months of practice, Chen Xiaolin has reached the pinnacle of her boxing skills. Normally, even a dozen big men are no match for her. .

"You little girl, don't get carried away. There is always something different in the sky, and there are people outside the world. You have to be careful when you go out. I'm not afraid of others confronting you, but I'm afraid that some people will use some not-so-dirty methods to deal with you." Aunt Chen said. She was afraid that Chen Xiaolin would accidentally offend others and it would be too late to regret it.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will be more careful." Chen Xiaolin knew that Auntie Chen was caring about her, so Chen Xiaolin took everything she said to heart.

"Mom, let's go to the back and get a seat, otherwise everyone else will come back later." Liu Hua saw more and more people on the tractor and quickly pulled her mother-in-law to the back.

After a while, when everyone in the village came back, Chen Mu started up the tractor and went home.

After more than an hour of shaking, the tractor finally stopped at the door of the Daqingshan Village brigade headquarters.

Before the tractor could stop, Chen Xiaolin jumped off and vomited on the side of the road. Chen Xiaolin really didn't want to ride on this tractor unless she had no choice. It's a pity that she didn't buy a bicycle today.

By the time Aunt Chen and Liu Hua got off the bus, Chen Xiaolin had finished vomiting and was sitting on the ground to rest alone.

"Xiaolin, give me the basket, and I'll help you carry it back." Liu Hua saw Chen Xiaolin's face pale and weak, so she wanted to carry her back directly.
