Chapter 104 Department Store
"Baozhen, come here, eat some mao nike. It was fried last night. It smells old."

He Yuchen handed a small basket to Song Baozhen, and greeted her warmly.

(Mao Ke is a sunflower seed, which has been used in some areas in the north.)
"Thank you ma'am."

Song Baozhen was also polite, and smiled sweetly and generously reached out to take it.

He Yuchen pretended to be angry and glared at her: "Thank you, thank you, you can still come to see my sister in the cold weather, it's too late for my sister to be happy."

Then he said: "Don't leave at noon and stay for dinner."

Song Baozhen stopped suddenly when she was pinching the melon seeds, raised her head and pretended to be reserved, and said, "This, this is not good..."

Although I seldom come here, every time except my brother-in-law, no one else seems to welcome me, so I never stay for a meal, because I am afraid that my eldest sister will be embarrassed.

"I asked you to stay for dinner, and no one would say anything. Whenever you come without bringing anything, it's much better than those stingy relatives of the Pan family."

"You brought fish this time, that's a great gift, why don't you have a meal?"

He Yuchen's expression was determined, and his tone revealed that he could not refuse.

In fact, she has been suffocating in her heart. Since giving birth to her daughter, no matter how hard she tries to behave, her mother-in-law is still dissatisfied and always picks her nose and eyes.

The younger uncle and sister-in-law are even more confident, and they don't respect themselves as sister-in-laws at all.

If it wasn't for Wen Jie's face, she would have turned her back and carried the child back to her mother's house long ago. Hmph, she really thought she was easy to bully.

Seeing He Yuchen's resolute attitude, Song Baozhen didn't say anything. If she insisted on leaving, she would look contrived, and her relationship with the eldest sister would also become estranged, which would not do her any good.

"Wow wow wow..."

The little baby sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly burst into tears.

He Yuchen hurried over to check and found that her daughter had urinated.

Song Baozhen got up and walked over, and saw the baby on the bed crying with his mouth open, his face flushed, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, so cute.

He Yuchen quickly changed the diaper and carried her daughter into her arms to nurse, the crying stopped immediately.

Song Baozhen lowered her voice and asked, "Sister, did the baby have a name?"

He Yuchen looked at the baby in his arms with a happy expression and said, "I've taken it, her name is Pan Xinyue. I hope she will be happy for the rest of her life."

Then he turned his head and looked at Song Baozhen with a smile on his face: "I took it, does it sound good?"

Song Baozhen nodded sharply with bright eyes: "It sounds good, my eldest sister is really talented."

He Yuchen listened to it very well, and in a happy mood, he turned his attention back to the baby and hummed an unknown song in a low voice.

Song Baozhen was about to say a few words of praise, but when she saw He Yuchen's profile, something suddenly came to her mind, so she changed the subject and said casually:
"Sister, I just realized that you look a lot like a male educated youth in our team."

He Yuchen immediately became interested, turned his head and asked curiously: "Then where did he come from, and what's his name?"

Boring at home with children every day, she blamed her for being suffocated to death, and she couldn't let it go if she finally had something to talk about.

"Oh, he's from the capital, his name is Meng Xiaoli."

Before, Song Baozhen didn't pay attention to the two male educated youths in the team. After school holidays, she often went to Qin's house to hear Qin Xiu always mentioning them, and only then did she know their origins and names.

Who knows, as soon as she finished speaking, He Yuchen's eyes widened in shock, and then she stammered eagerly:

"You, tell me again, what's the name of that male educated youth? How old is he?"

Song Baozhen's eyes flickered, and she felt as if she had discovered something by accident.
"His name is Meng Xiaoli. I don't know his age very well. It's probably around."

……

After Gao Yueyang and Luo Yujuan arrived in the city, they separated directly, and then found an unoccupied and hidden corner and entered the space directly.

Now, among the five acres of fertile fields in the space, one acre is planted with several vegetables that I usually like to eat, and a few apple trees and peach trees that are only one meter high.

The remaining four acres of land are all used to plant millet, that is, millet.

The millet seeds were traded inadvertently in the black market before.

Because of the need to sell grain frequently, Gao Yueyang bought a large scale on purpose. At the end of last month, the millet matured and yielded about [-] catties of rice, which can be regarded as a high yield and not too bad.

The goal of this transaction is too big, so she has long planned to make a move tonight and return tomorrow.

The pheasants in the livestock farm finally brought out more than a dozen chicks this morning, which is really a pleasant surprise.

In order to raise these chickens, more than 1000 catties of corn were specially stored, and there were several hundred catties of coarse corn flour, enough to feed them for a long time.

Leading the briquettes, I quickly made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised crucian carp, added the stuffed rice and pheasant soup, and lunch was settled like this.

……

Gao Yueyang came to the city twice in total, one time to find the principal, and one time to sell food. In order to catch the last bus from the county to the commune, he didn't have time to visit department stores at all.

So, after one o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yueyang came to the department store with a green canvas handbag.

The building has two floors, and the roof is triangular. The overall look is a bit like a dance hall in the past.

The first floor has a large area, and it is placed in a triangular roundabout, with a square roundabout in the middle.

There are four saleswomen in the left and right fronts and the middle roundabout, two middle-aged women, one young woman, and one eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.

Gao Yueyang went straight to the roundabout in the middle, and scanned the items on the shelves. They were all snacks that needed to be weighed.

Thinking that this is a department store in a big city, it is better to be polite, so I took off my mask and looked up to the middle-aged saleswoman:
"Hello, comrade, please weigh three catties of white rabbit toffee, three catties of brown sugar, two catties of white sugar, one box of sugar cubes, and two catties of peach cakes."

The saleswoman hurriedly stood up from the stool, she was stunned when she saw the birthmark on Gao Yueyang's face, and then smiled gently and said:

"Okay, you go over and pay the money ticket first, and then pick it up from me."

While talking, the salesperson quickly issued the ticket, and then clipped the ticket to the rope above, and the ticket was passed to the cashier counter on the far right with a whoosh.

Gao Yueyang raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself, this method is very convenient.

After putting things away, I went to the counter on the left and bought three cans of malted milk and two cans of fruit.

If you want to buy more, you can't buy more.

It seems that I bought it on the black market tonight or tomorrow morning, and this time I will stock up more.

Picking up the handbag, I secretly transferred the contents to the space and was about to leave, but then I thought about it, since I’ve come anyway, so let’s go up for a walk.

"Hi comrade, how much is this scarf? Can you show me?"

Gao Yueyang pointed to the neatly folded, brightly colored red woolen scarf on the counter. The plaid scarf she wore was a bit thin.
