Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 109 Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

On the way, Bai Jing also realized from their conversation that Uncle Zhou had a very good relationship with the Zhang family.

Bai Jing nearly filled the cart with 300 jin of rice, 100 jin of high-gluten flour, as well as refined flour, millet, and so on.

To her surprise, after helping her load the cart, Uncle Zhou noticed there was still some space and asked, "Comrade Bai, I also want to buy some grain to take back. What do you think..."

Bai Jing understood what he meant. "Of course, Uncle Zhou, I'll keep an eye on things here. You go and buy them, and we can take a whole truckload back."

The grain depot had grain for sale, but not everyone could buy it.

Without connections, you can't even get through the gate.

Unless it's time for food rations to be distributed, we should buy some coarse grains.

Fine grains are so expensive that even if you have money, you can't buy them.

After Zhang Cuicui helped Bai Jing, she was conscripted by her colleagues at the station and has since disappeared.

However, when she left, she told Bai Jing not to wait for her, so she would go back with Uncle Zhou later.

Uncle Zhou returned quickly; after all, he hadn't bought as much as Bai Jing, so he could carry it all back in one trip.

"Uncle Zhou, do you want to buy anything else?" Bai Jing asked, puzzled, when she saw that there was only one sack.

To everyone's surprise, Uncle Zhou shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just buy these." After saying that, he placed the bag of fine grains in a place closer to him and secured it.

After everything was tied up with hemp rope, Uncle Zhou took out a large piece of patched coarse cloth from under the cart.

"Comrade Bai, come and give me a hand, let's cover it up."

Bai Jing was puzzled. "Why?"

Seeing her like this, Uncle Zhou knew she didn't know much about the people here, so he smiled and explained a few things to her.

Bai Jing understood immediately upon hearing this.

I'm afraid of making others jealous.

"Uncle Zhou is very thoughtful."

With the combined efforts of the two, a cartload of grain was pulled back to the Bai family courtyard.

After Bai Jing unloaded the grain, she gave Uncle Zhou a dollar, as agreed beforehand.

Uncle Zhou accepted the money without hesitation. "My house is right behind Cuicui's. If you ever need any work pulling a cart, just ask me. I promise I'll keep it a secret." After taking the money, Uncle Zhou didn't forget to advertise himself.

Bai Jing nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely ask Uncle Zhou for help if I need anything. Thank you for your hard work this time, Uncle Zhou. This is for my children at home, it's not worth much, but you have to accept it, Uncle Zhou."

She took out a small bag of fruit candies that she had prepared beforehand and handed it over.

When Uncle Zhou saw that it was candy, he immediately refused, saying, "No, it's too precious. You can't accept it."

Bai Jing wasn't about to give him a chance to back out. She threw him into Uncle Zhou's arms, then jumped into her own yard, closed the door, and did it all in one smooth motion.

Uncle Zhou stood bewildered in the wind, holding a small bag of candy.

Then a big smile appeared on his face, "He's a good kid."

Bai Jing was unaware that her act of kindness had changed the life of her second sister.

Of course, this is something.

Bai Jing put the brought-back grain back into the kitchen storage room one by one, and looking at the half-full floor, a bright smile appeared on her face.

There's no way around it; in just a few hours, Bai Jing's transformation was truly remarkable, at least those close to her could notice it.

If you ask why Zhang Cuicui didn't notice, it's because she was preoccupied with other matters and had no time to care about anything else.

She'll realize it after a while.

Bai Jing had already prepared her explanation. She had exchanged a rejuvenating formula from Xiao Jin, intending to give it to her mother, aunts, and sisters-in-law in the future.

At worst, she can use the time to make the correct parts, and hand them over when Cuicui realizes what's happening.

Good friends won't overthink it. Looking at the grain in the storage room, Bai Jing had an urge to fill the entire room.

No sooner said than done, she took advantage of a day off and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to start buying goods.

When she rested at the table in the yard again, the storage room in the kitchen had been filled up.

That's right, it's exactly full in the true sense.

As the old saying goes, a full granary is worse than a full wallet or a full tank of water.

In those days, whoever had grain had hope of survival, and didn't have to bow down for a meager living.

Satisfied, Bai Jing couldn't stay idle. Remembering that the winter clothes hadn't been made yet, she hurriedly went to stock up on some cotton fabric.

We had one at home before, but how can we use it in a new house?

After going in and out several times, Bai Jing finally managed to prepare everything.

Now she just had to wait for her mother to come back and make arrangements. She couldn't make such an important decision without her mother's consent, otherwise her mother would feel that her position as the housekeeper was threatened.

Having lived here for some time, her mother knew quite a few people in the neighborhood. These little things didn't require her to do anything; her mother was enough.

Seeing that she still had time, she bought some more medicinal herbs from Xiao Jin, intending to make the Rejuvenating Formula. After all, her transformation was quite obvious, and without a reason, it would be difficult to explain to people who knew her tomorrow.

Fortunately, making this thing isn't too complicated, otherwise Bai Jing would have thought of another way.

Hearing familiar voices outside, Bai Jing looked up at the sky and knew that her younger siblings had come home from school.

"Second sister, why is our front gate open? Could there be a thief inside?" As soon as they arrived at the front door, Bai Yong, the younger brother, saw that the gate to their yard was open and pulled his second sister with a wary look on his face.

Fine, he's a coward.

Bai Ling glared at him, thinking to herself, "Is my little brother stupid? Doesn't he even know where he is? Even if there were thieves, why would he leave the door wide open?"

"It might be my parents or my older sister who have come back." After saying that, she pushed her mentally challenged younger brother aside.

Since coming to town, her younger brother seems to have forgotten his mind in the village, always doing stupid things, and she doesn't even want to say that she knows him.

Upon hearing her second sister's words, Bai Jing charged into the courtyard.

The first thing I saw was my older sister looking at me with a big smile.

She shouted excitedly, "Big sister!"

You could tell from her voice that she was indeed excited.

"Oh, so you know it's the eldest sister. I thought I was going to be a thief today." Bai Jing said in a teasing tone.

Hearing this, Bai Yong, who came in afterward, looked embarrassed and said, "Big sister, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. You're my dear big sister, how could you be a thief? Even if I were a thief, you wouldn't be one."

Bai Yong's mind was working very fast at this moment, and he immediately spoke up to coax him.

Bai Ling rolled her eyes again, "Big sister." But she still called out happily.

"Well, you've come back just in time. Come on, see what good stuff your eldest sister has made." As she spoke, Bai Jing shook the dark, sticky medicine in her hand.

Fortunately, it only looks bad, but it doesn't smell bad.

The three of them stepped forward together.

When they saw what the eldest sister was holding, everyone showed a look of disgust on their faces.

Bai Jing isn't blind; how could she not see their disdain?

"Hmph, if you don't like it, then I won't give it to you." I was originally planning to use them as guinea pigs, but now, I'm not giving it to them.

"No way!" Bai Yong fawned. "I trust you, Big Sister. Tell me, should we drink this or not?"

His face showed a look of fearlessness in the face of death.

Bai Jing was so angry she laughed. "Get lost, this is none of your business."

After saying that, he beckoned to Bai Ling, "Second sister, come and try it, this stuff is good for your skin."
