Chapter 39 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return
"We...we want some flawed cloth." Not only did they not have cloth coupons, but they had also spent almost all their money.
They didn't actually plan to buy fabric, but since Jiang He was there, they wanted to see if there was any bargain they could get, maybe some fabric that didn't require coupons and was cheap.
"I don't have any defective fabric here. As you know, Director, this month's defective fabric is already sold out. They only want defective fabric, so how can I sell it if I don't have it?"
I can't just conjure up some fine fabric out of thin air and sell it as a defective one. Wouldn't that be asking the impossible?
The director nodded, agreeing with Jiang He.
Jiang He has always done a good job in taking inventory details.
"Well, you can't just ignore us. We're guests, but you're only eating sunflower seeds with that other person."
Zhao Xiu also dragged Sister Wang into it.
She didn't know if it was okay to eat sunflower seeds at work, but it was definitely inappropriate to eat them when customers came to buy things.
The director was stumped when he saw that she was pointing to Sister Wang.
He believed that Sister Wang was eating sunflower seeds.
But she was his sister-in-law, and as expected, she came from out of town and had no idea about the intricacies of the situation.
Pointing at his sister-in-law is tantamount to insulting him, the director.
The director's face darkened.
When the others saw that Zhao Xiu had dragged Sister Wang into this mess, they thought, "Oh, these two don't want to come to this supply and marketing cooperative anymore."
Even if they have money and tickets in the future, they may not be able to buy anything.
Sister Wang wasn't flustered at all when she was dragged into the water.
"Director, I don't know where these two educated youths came from, and I don't know how their supply and marketing cooperatives sell things."
From the moment these two entered the supply and marketing cooperative, their constant question was, "Do you have any coupons?"
So, the supply and marketing cooperatives in their area were selling defective products?
Director, everyone knows that you are always conscientious and responsible when purchasing goods, and you personally supervise the process.
Those are all the good ones; how could we let those defective products in?
Occasionally there may be some defective products, but those are just some damaged items that occurred during transportation.
We can't cheat the people out of their money and votes; we can only sell them off cheaply as defective products.
The director was delighted by what Sister Wang said.
He is very conscientious and responsible.
Other customers who came to buy things also praised the director for genuinely caring about the people, saying that all the products were good and he never cheated them.
Other sales clerks then stepped forward to affirm what Sister Wang had said.
They even showed the sales records; these two people came in and basically bought defective products.
Only a few people who absolutely had no choice but to pay money for tickets were left with no other option but to accept them.
Besides, who hasn't eaten sunflower seeds?
Everyone had eaten the melon seeds that Jiang He gave them. This girl knew how to get things done, and they couldn't just take her things for nothing.
The original owner of this body was quite well-off; she kept all her salary and often bought snacks for her parents and children, and she never skimped on herself.
My parents also told me to get along well with my colleagues, so it's common for us to buy some melon seeds and share them.
They would also inform Jiang He about any defective items from other counters to see if she needed them.
In rural areas, there are few sources of tickets, making it difficult to buy anything.
People in the brigade would often come to Jiang He asking if he could help them get some defective items that didn't require tickets.
The director now understands that Jiang He was reported because someone was jealous of her.
These two educated youths, I don't know where they came from, they started causing trouble as soon as they arrived, they're really not peaceful.
The matter of reporting it was simply dropped.
"Brother, how could this happen? It was clearly Jiang He's fault, why hasn't she been punished at all?"
Even after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Xiu still felt infuriated by the way the director had handled things so casually.
"Since the director is protecting Jiang He, there's nothing we can do. Let's leave it at that for now and go back."
Zhao Guangming was also unhappy, but he didn't know much about the director and his group. They might have some powerful connections, and if things got out of hand, they might not come out on top.
Jiang He is from the Yang Brigade. Someone like her must have offended quite a few people.
He will first settle down in Dayang Brigade to get familiar with the area, and once he has a clear understanding of Jiang He, he will find a way to get revenge for what happened today.
Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu headed towards Dayang Brigade.
We didn't feel this tired when we came, but when we came back, we were both carrying things, and we felt very tired.
If Jiang He had been more sensible and helped them carry their things, they wouldn't be so exhausted.
Exhausted, the two returned to the educated youth settlement, wanting nothing more than to lie in bed and not move.
Zhu Daqiang and Li Min are still nowhere to be found; their whereabouts are unknown.
The two ignored them.
Zhao Xiu wanted to go to the kitchen to get some water, and found a stove in the kitchen with steam rising from the pot.
Zhao Xiu looked and saw two large meat buns in the pot.
Did Li Min do this?
Two meat buns, that's for her and her brother.
Zhu Daqiang and Li Min must have already eaten.
They had a conscience, at least they left them some steamed buns.
Zhao Xiu swallowed hard as she smelled the aroma of the big meat buns. She hadn't eaten much that morning, just a few dried sweet potatoes.
On the way here by train, and yesterday, I also ate some dry food. It's been a long time since I've had such a hot steamed bun.
Zhao Xiu put down the pot lid and went to find her brother.
"Brother, brother, come quick, there's something delicious to eat."
Zhao Xiu ran into the room where the male educated youth were staying.
Zhao Guangming was resting in bed.
"Brother, brother, get up quickly! I saw two big meat buns in the kitchen, still warm. Zhu Daqiang and Li Min must have saved them for us."
"Big meat buns?" Upon hearing the word "big meat buns," Zhao Guangming immediately sat up.
My stomach was already empty after eating just a little bit of dried sweet potato this morning, and now my cravings were really kicking in.
I rushed to the kitchen and found a stove with two large meat buns heating in a pot.
"Zhu Daqiang and Li Min are quite loyal; they left us some steamed buns. Sister, since they cooked lunch, you can cook dinner tonight. We have a pot now, so let's have a hot meal."
"Okay, brother, I'll cook dinner tonight. I don't know if they've bought any groceries."
The brother and sister talked as they ate large meat buns.
They ate with their mouths full of oil, exclaiming how delicious and fragrant it was.
The two squatted down by the pot and ate large meat buns when Zhu Daqiang and Li Min returned.
"You're back! These steamed buns are delicious."
Zhao Guangming stuffed the last bite of the steamed bun into his mouth.
"I'll cook dinner tonight. Have you bought the groceries yet?"
Zhao Xiu finished the remaining buns in two bites.
Zhao Guangming saw that Zhao Xiu had finished the steamed buns but still felt a little regretful, as he wasn't full yet.
Zhu Daqiang and Li Min looked at the two of them, then at the overturned pot beside them.
"You guys are so shameless, stealing our food."
"Spit it out, spit it out."
Seeing Zhao Xiu stuffing a steamed bun into her mouth, Li Min was so angry that she went up to her and pressed her neck down to make her spit it out.
