Chapter 743: Failed to Pass the Blame
After leaving Old Lady Guo's sight, Liu Jingxue scanned with her spiritual sense and found that there was no one around. She took out her bicycle and rode straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
I had been queuing up at the post office to make a phone call, and then I went to deliver food to Old Mrs. Guo. I was afraid that Liu Jianjun might be waiting anxiously.
When they were still some distance away from the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Jingxue noticed Liu Jianjun standing there with a backpack at his feet, which contained a lot of things.
They didn't bring a backpack when they came in the morning. Liu Jingxue guessed that he might be helping others watch something.
He parked his bike in front of Liu Jianjun and said, "Brother, you must be getting impatient.
Who are you helping to look after?
Then we can’t leave now, we have to wait until the owner of these things comes back.”
Liu Jianjun bent down and picked up the backpack, "No need, we can go now."
"What about this thing?" Liu Jingxue pointed at the backpack suspiciously.
Liu Jianjun put the backpack on his back and said, "It contains all the things I bought.
I couldn’t keep them all at once, I bought too much and couldn’t take them back.
I happened to see an auntie next to me carrying a basket to buy things. I negotiated with her and asked her to give me the basket for 80 cents.
The auntie was very nice and gave me the backpack without saying anything. "
Liu Jingxue rolled her eyes, unable to complain.
If you buy this thing from the production team, a brand new one is only 30 cents. If you buy a second-hand one from someone for 80 cents, they will definitely be willing to buy it.
Maybe people are secretly saying that you are being taken advantage of.
Looking at the backpack that was mostly filled with things, Liu Jingxue asked curiously, "What did you buy?
Have you bought the batteries, kerosene, and toilet paper I asked you to buy?"
“I bought them all.
I also bought some candies, cakes, canned fruits, and malted milk that didn’t require a ticket.”
After saying this, Liu Jianjun shook his head and said, "The things in the supply and marketing cooperative here are not as abundant as those in our place.
There are just too few options to choose from.
Take the canned fruit for example, there are only canned pears.
Unlike our place, where there are so many kinds of canned fruits.”
“You bought so much when there weren’t many choices. If you had more choices, I’m afraid this backpack wouldn’t be enough for you.
First of all, I would like to make it clear that when I go back I will tell my aunt that I didn’t ask you to buy these things, you bought them on your own initiative.
If she scolds you for wasting money later, you should bear the consequences yourself, but you can’t blame me.”
"You heartless little bastard, who on earth did I buy these things for?
I think you are a greedy person, so I bought you some more food to make you happy. "
Liu Jingxue resolutely refused to bear the accusation, "I am not a child anymore, why should I eat candy and canned fruit?"
I can’t even finish all the fresh fruits in the space.
As for malted milk, there are still a few cans in her space that no one has eaten.
She used to eat this stuff at first, but after eating one or two cans, she felt a little sick of it.
Besides, even if she practices cultivation and doesn't worry about gaining weight, there is no need for her to take in too many impurities into her body, which would then be difficult to excrete.
You should know that when she eats alone now, she only eats spiritual food produced in the space.
Liu Jingxue gloated a little, "Just wait to be scolded when you go back."
The two returned to the production team and walked directly to the end of the village.
At the fork in the road leading to her home and the cowshed, Liu Jingxue said to Liu Jianjun,
"Second brother, go over there by yourself. I won't go over there."
"You come with me."
Liu Jingxue shook her head and thought to herself, I don’t want to go with you and get scolded.
She patted the bike. "I have to put it back."
"It will be the same if we push back later." Liu Jianjun still wanted to pull her over to share the firepower.
Liu Jingxue shook her head, "Why bother?
Besides, I have to go back and heat up the kang, otherwise if the fire goes out and the heat is gone, it will take half a day for the temperature to rise again."
Liu Jianjun had no choice but to remind him, "Put down your bicycle, add some fire to the kang, and come here quickly.
You didn’t cook for yourself at noon, so come here and eat together.
Remember to come here, or I will come and grab you later."
If you didn't come over, mom would just stare at me and scold me.
Liu Jingxue said perfunctorily, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
After returning home, Liu Jingxue used her spiritual sense to probe towards the cowshed. Liu Jianjun had already entered the house and was taking things out of his backpack.
Putting the kerosene, toilet paper, cigarettes, and batteries aside, Wang Xiulan frowned as she looked at the other things.
"Why did you buy so much food?"
While Liu Jingxue was away, Liu Jianjun quickly pushed the blame onto her, "I don't know, my little sister asked me to buy this."
"Forget it, your little sister doesn't eat these things."
Wang Xiulan picked up the malted milk and canned fruit, "Let alone other things, your eldest brother and Mr. Zhang have sent these two things.
Mingxuan and Junhao have also bought it several times.
But your little sister didn't even eat it and gave it all to us.
But at our age, we can’t eat too much of these sweet things without getting diabetes (now known as grain-induced diabetes).
We still have some in our secret cellar.
We were just worried about what to do with these things, and you bought them back."
"Speaking of these candies and cakes, your sister likes the Dairy-Free Candy, so save this for her.
Your sister likes these cakes, egg cakes and peach cakes, so keep them for her.
These honey-covered glutinous rice cakes are too sweet, your sister won’t eat them either.”
Wang Xiulan frowned as she looked at the pile of things, having a headache about how to digest them.
"Needless to say, your sister definitely didn't ask you to buy these, you definitely did it on your own.
If you ask your sister, she won't let you buy these.
You are so good, afraid of being scolded, and you put the blame on your sister. "
When Liu Jianjun saw that he was exposed by his mother, he had no choice but to admit it honestly.
"I just saw that my sister has been looking after you, so I want to be nice to her.
I originally wanted to buy some food, but she wouldn't let me, saying that the family had no shortage of food.
She seems to like eating fruit, and since little girls like to eat snacks, I thought about buying her some more food."
When Wang Xiulan heard this, her anger towards her son for spending money recklessly immediately subsided by half.
"You have some conscience, but you don't think much when you do things.
You should at least ask your sister about her preferences in advance.
Fruits are not the same as canned fruit or snacks.”
"There are just so many sweets and I don't know what to do with them."
Zou Lao said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't be wasted. Xiaoxue doesn't want to eat it, but we don't need to eat too much. We still have Mingxuan, Junhao, and Jianjun.
Just let them eat it.
Otherwise, let Jianjun take it and distribute it to the children in the production team."
Liu Jianjun quickly shook his head, "I don't really eat sweets either.
Let's give it to Mingxuan and Junhao."
"As for Xiaoxue, don't buy her any food. She's a picky eater and what you buy won't suit her taste.
You buy her clothes or nice fabrics and I will make clothes for her.
Xiaoxue is pretty, so she needs to be dressed up nicely. "
Thinking about the aesthetic tastes of my two sons, I am afraid that in their eyes, green military uniforms are the best looking, and they would never know how to buy things for girls.
Wang Xiulan quickly said, "No, don't buy her clothes or fabrics.
What you think is beautiful is either bright red, big flowers, or army green, which are so ugly.
You should just give her the money and let her use it to buy what she likes.
Girls should have more money on them, so that even if they get married, they will have confidence and will not be controlled by their in-laws. "
