Chapter 159 Farewell Gift
Han Li wanted to laugh when he saw how cautious she was and how she looked like she didn't have three hundred taels of silver in this place.
"Looking at how nervous you are, hurry up and get in the car. I'm here and you're afraid of a ball."
Jiang Xiaoli quickly sat on the carriage. At this time, the look on her face obviously relaxed a little.
"But I'm still a little nervous about what to do. This affects my food rations for half a year. What if I get groped by a pickpocket on the road?"
Han Li: "Why did you forget the money and tickets you brought with you when you went to the countryside?"
Jiang Xiaoli: "I didn't bring much money with me when I went to the countryside. I kept it under the quilt at that time."
Han Li looked around and saw that no one was around, so he approached Jiang Xiaoli and whispered an idea.
"You have enough money left on you and sew the rest inside your pants. You can take them apart when you get to the place. This way, unless someone snatches away your pants, it's basically impossible to lose them."
Jiang Xiaoli immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then gave Han Li a big eye roll.
"In all my years of living, I've only had my pants ripped off by a bastard."
Han Li couldn't argue with her on the street, so he could only give in temporarily.
Jiang Xiaoli was still a little worried at this time and said: "Han Li, I still feel uneasy before the sewing is completed. How about we stop eating in the commune and I can cook something delicious for you when we get back?"
Han Li: "Several educated youths are still waiting to get in the car when they go back. They are helping you load the car, so even if we don't go to the restaurant for dinner, we can't go back right away, otherwise we will be criticized."
"what should I do then?"
"Let's do this. I'll drive the car to the intersection in front and stop. There are a lot of people there. As long as you sit in the car and don't move, you'll be fine. How about I go buy something for you and make up for it first?"
After agreeing, Han Li drove the carriage to the main street and stopped. At this time, Jiang Xiaoli took out the money to buy food from her pocket.
Han Li said with a smile: "Stop making trouble, I've eaten your meat buns several times, I'm here to treat you today."
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Xiaoli's resentful eyes, took a grain bag from the car and went into the street.
Han Li was not only going to buy some food, he also planned to buy Jiang Xiaoli something she could use.
No matter how strange the incident was, the two people had in-depth exchanges several times.
Even if the two of them are just ordinary friends, it's okay to buy something for her when they say goodbye.
However, the supply and marketing cooperative here could buy very few supplies. Han Li looked around and finally chose the local famous stove fruit.
Luguo is a local specialty. It is a traditional pastry. It is a square hard pastry with a crispy and very sweet texture.
The workmanship of the stove fruits at this time was far less sophisticated than that of later generations. They were made with cornmeal mixed with a very small amount of white flour, then added with oil and saccharin and baked in a stove. The crispy ones were very sweet at first, but after eating too much You will feel tired and choked.
However, at this time, it is more rare for ordinary families to have one or two pieces than during the Chinese New Year. How can they have the opportunity to feel tired of it?
Each kilogram of stove fruit cost 5 cents plus half a kilogram of food stamps, so Han Li bought six kilograms and looked at the salesperson with his eyes widened.
"Sister, don't look at me like this. I don't want these many stove fruits alone, otherwise I wouldn't let you pack them into six portions. Didn't our commune recently recruit a group of workers? These are our Six people gave each other gifts to eat on the way.”
"You educated youths are really interesting. Each of you can give out a pound of stove fruit without fear of choking the other party."
The smile on Han Li's face was still there, but he reassured himself in his heart that it was normal not to be angry or upset.
Three of the six packs of stove fruits were given to Jiang Xiaoli to take away. One pack was for two people's lunch today, and the remaining two packs were given to his partner.
Carrying the stove fruit and walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Han Li thought that these things were indeed a bit too little.
If it was a normal relationship, one pack would be enough, but Jiang Xiaoli had perfected her driving skills anyway.
Han Li thought about it in his mind, and then followed the guidance of the sparrow to an uninhabited alley.
Then he took out a large piece of pork from the decomposition space and put it into the bag containing grain.
The weather is not bad now. If Jiang Xiaoli is worried, just let her go back and put a layer of salt on it.
When Han Li came to the carriage with the bag, Jiang Xiaoli was staring nervously at the people on the street, for fear that someone would come and take away her food stamps.
"You'd better calm down your expression. If you are in a big place, people can tell you are a fat sheep at a glance."
"Ah, Han Li, you're back. What's in this big bag?"
"You are leaving tomorrow, so I used my money to buy this gift just for you."
Jiang Xiaoli said in surprise: "The gift you bought for me? What's in it?"
Han Li did not speak, but opened his pocket and took a look at it. Jiang Xiaoli couldn't believe it and put her hand in to look at the pork.
But Han Li didn't give her much time, and then tied the bag tightly with a rope.
"Han Li..."
"Stop it, we're on the street now. If you have any ideas, let's talk about it after we get back."
After Han Li finished speaking, he opened a pack of stove fruits, took a few pieces and handed the remaining ones to Jiang Xiaoli.
"There are three bags here for you to eat on the road. If someone asks, just say you bought them yourself. Cover up the bags and don't let others touch them."
"Han Li..."
"You will leave tomorrow and become a worker the day after tomorrow. You'd better control yourself now."
Jiang Xiaoli took a deep breath and said to herself in her heart that she was about to jump out of this cage. The two of them would basically not have any communication in the future, so the current touch was useless.
The two of them were eating the furnace fruit silently, and the area around the carriage fell into peace.
Afterwards, Han Li sat there and read quietly. Jiang Xiaoli put the bag of pork next to her to ensure that it would not be touched by others, and then took out a book to read.
Until the educated youth came back one after another, Han Li waved the whip, and everyone returned to Shanghe Village with laughter and chatter.
Han Li first drove the carriage to the educated youth courtyard to let everyone get off, and then went to return the carriage.
When Han Li carried the furnace fruit home, Yun Yingying was already waiting for him at the street gate.
"Han Li, you're back."
"Well, there's nothing good in the commune, so I bought you some furnace fruit as a snack."
Yun Yingying took the things from Han Li's hand, and the two walked side by side towards the house.
As soon as they entered the door, before Han Li and Yun Yingying had a whisper, they heard the sound of playing cards from inside the house.
