70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 81
"What are you dating alone? You are poor. You are so rich and powerful, why don't you go to heaven!" Although Xie Xiaonian was flattered in her heart, she still said arrogantly. She found that she was being led by Xu Zhongjun, so she could still say a few words up.

"How can I go to heaven? My daughter-in-law is still here. Of course I want to stay in the world." Although Xu Zhongjun didn't know what this sentence meant, he still joked literally.

Xie Xiaonian stopped arguing with Xu Zhongjun because he was concerned that Li Zhi was still in the house, and said directly: "Just wait and go, I haven't finished feeding the pigs yet!"

"I'll help you. Let's go to the county as soon as we finish." After speaking, Xu Zhongjun helped Xie Xiaonian pick up the pig food and walked to the pigsty.

"You still feed pigs?"

"Of course, I joined the army when I was 16. When I was at home, I knew everything except cooking. When you join the army, you will only be responsible for cooking, and I will take care of everything else." Xu Zhongjun proudly Said coquettishly.

"Tch, wait until you have the ability to marry me! Humph!"

"Whether I am capable or not, you will know after I get married!"

"Stinking rogue!"

When the two were flirting in the yard, Li Zhi was watching coldly through the window in the house, eyes full of jealousy.

But after thinking about it, she began to comfort herself again. Although soldiers are popular, but after marrying a soldier, they get together less and leave more all the year round, and she has to carry a family by herself. She can't bear it.

Moreover, it is very dangerous to be a soldier. You may die one day, and you may even be a widow.

Even if it was safe and sound in the end, it would still be farming at home after returning from a job change.

And she has always liked refined and refined cultural people, not a big guy like Xu Zhongjun.

Then Li Zhi thought angrily again, since she can't marry Xu Zhongjun, then she must find a worker in the city in the future, that is, she can eat the state's food supply, there is no danger, and it must be better than Xie Xiaonian's.

What Li Zhi didn't know at this time was that because of this obsession, she spent the rest of her life in regret.

When the two arrived in the county, it was already past 10:[-] in the morning. Because they mainly came to buy fabrics today, they got off the car and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

As for the supply and marketing cooperative, although there are memories of the original owner, Xie Xiaonian himself has never really visited it.

Although there is a consignment store of the supply and marketing cooperative in their village, Xie Xiaonian only passed by the door and peeked in a few times, but never went in.

The usual errands and shopping at home are done by Xie Xiaobao and the others. After all, sometimes when running errands, those who have one or two cents left may be rewarded to buy a candy or directly use it as an errand fee, so Wu Lihua never spends shopping Leave the job to Xie Xiaonian.

And the ones in the village are relatively small, just a house of about 30 square meters. There is a wooden sign at the door, with the words "Xiezhuang Consignment Store" written in chalk on it.

There are glass counters on three sides of the store, and under the counters, some daily necessities and snacks, such as soap, matches, salt, etc. are scattered.

On the shelf, there are cigarettes, white paper, shampoo, etc. in different categories, and there are several large jars in one corner, which are full of vinegar, soy sauce, loose wine, etc.

On the counter facing the door, besides the products, there are also abacus and old-fashioned iron scales, but the most eye-catching thing is the thick cowhide ledger.

Because many people in the village usually pay on credit, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, someone will go door to door with the account book to ask for the account, or go to the store to write off the account by themselves, so this cowhide book is very important.

Compared with the consignment stores in the village, the supply and marketing cooperatives in this county are much more impressive.

I saw that this supply and marketing cooperative is 3 stories high, which is the tallest building in the entire county.

On the right side of the entrance on the first floor stands the sign "Developing the Economy, Qingshan County Supply and Marketing Cooperative Store".

On one side of the wall, there is also a "Daily General Merchandise General Store" written in paint, plus some other slogans, which is very characteristic of the times at first glance.

Xie Xiaonian was watching with great interest, when he heard Xu Zhongjun jokingly said: "What's the matter, it's not like I haven't seen it before, you can buy things just by looking outside!"

"It's not that I haven't seen it before." Xie Xiaonian slandered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say that.

After entering, Xie Xiaonian found that the layout of the supply and marketing cooperative was similar to that in the village, and there were also counters. The goods were placed on the counters and the shelves behind, but each counter sold different things. The variety is also much more complete than that in the village.

The only difference is that in the village, you check out directly with the salesperson, but here there is a high platform at the highest point in the middle, and there are two people sitting on the high platform, who should be paying the bill, similar to the current cashier.

There are also several iron wires fixed on the high platform, and each iron wire leads to a different business counter. There are pulleys and clips installed on it. As long as you lift your hand slightly, the iron clips will hold money and tickets, and run along the wires on the counters and between the counters. Shuttle back and forth between the cash register, this checkout method is known as wire checkout.

However, this kind of wire checkout only exists in large supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores. I heard that in good department stores, electric guide rails will be installed between the counter and the cashier, and the stores that are worse can only rely on manpower. Come toss.

But such an amazing thing, even if the original owner has never seen it, Xie Xiaonian can only know a little bit from the original owner's memory.

Because the two mainly bought cloth, they went directly to the counter where the cloth was sold.

After picking and choosing, Xie Xiaonian bought 2 pieces of fabric, one was ordinary cotton and the other was thicker corduroy that could be used for autumn clothes.

And later Xu Zhongjun insisted on buying Xie Xiaonian a piece of beige Dacron fabric, which is the most popular fabric at this time, most suitable for summer wear, cool!

Seeing that Xu Zhongjun bought a lot, Xie Xiaonian said with some embarrassment: "Didn't you agree to buy two, you bought me three now, wouldn't it be too good!"

"What's wrong, who will spend my money if I don't give it to you, and I'm going to buy you another suit, just to make an even number!" Xu Zhongjun said while looking at the cloth on the counter.

And the salesperson on the other side looked at Xie Xiaonian with envious eyes, this man is really kind to his wife, unlike the one in his own family who is so stingy, he is not willing to buy a single flower for her.

Xie Xiaonian saw that Xu Zhongjun still said that he wanted to make an even number, so he quickly said: "Why don't I buy you a body cloth, this is also an even number, anyway, I don't want it."

"I'm a big man, what new clothes do you want, I'll buy them for you!"

"You just buy it. I have enough for you to wear. If it's a big deal, you can buy it later. If you buy cloth for yourself, I will make clothes for you with my own hands. Don't miss this opportunity!" Xie Xiaonian had to resort to herself. The killer feature.

"Really, buy, buy, buy now, you must do it for me!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhongjun immediately asked Xie Xiaonian to choose a fabric for himself, thinking that he could wear the clothes made by his wife, Xu Zhongjun was bubbling with beauty.

After buying the cloth, Xu Zhongjun felt that his daughter-in-law was a good one. Where can I find such a good wife.

Since my daughter-in-law is so good, then I have to treat my daughter-in-law better. At least we should have what other people have, and we can't wrong my daughter-in-law.

"Xiao Nian, let's go to the grocery store on the second floor!" Don't the little girl like to eat snacks? "What are you doing there! Waste of money!" Although Xiao Nian salivated at the thought of sweet pastries, but the pastries are so expensive, let's forget it!
"Go ahead, I want to eat!" Xu Zhongjun also went all out to buy food for Xie Xiaonian.

Because the stairs of the supply and marketing cooperative are built outdoors and made of welded iron frames and wooden boards, when Xie Xiaonian walks on them, he always feels unsafe and cowardly.

If it wasn't for Xu Zhongjun's support, she might not dare to step on it.

So after going upstairs, Xu Zhongjun said mockingly: "Aren't you brave enough to go up the mountain by yourself? What's wrong this time?"

Xie Xiaonian looked at his smiling face, gave him a blank look, and didn't speak.

She dared to go up the mountain not because she was brave, but because she had the space to save her life. Otherwise, she would not have gone up the mountain, and she still cherished her life.

After going up to the second floor, Xie Xiaonian suddenly noticed all kinds of colorful candies in glass jars at the snack counter, and also saw the legendary white rabbit toffee.

From the memory of the original owner, it is known that the white rabbit toffee in this era is handmade, and the factory that makes the 'white rabbit' toffee can only produce 800 kg per day.

At this time, there was a saying that seven white rabbit milk candy was equal to a cup of milk, so "white rabbit" was sometimes bought as a nutritious food.

During the holidays, the citizens line up to buy, and there is a limit on each person's purchases. Sometimes they line up for several hours, and they may not be able to buy.

Usually, this kind of demand is relatively small, after all, no one has the spare money, so they are willing to buy white rabbit toffee for their children.

You must know that ordinary candy is only 7 or 8 cents a catty at this time, while the white rabbit toffee costs 2 yuan and 5 yuan per catty. Because the general wages of workers are only about 30 yuan, so the white rabbit toffee is also expensive at this time. It's a luxury.

However, due to the small amount of production, it is difficult for their supply and marketing cooperatives to have goods. After all, their consumption capacity is limited here, and most of the products are distributed to big cities.

So if you usually want to buy white rabbit toffee, you have to try your luck.

Seeing that Xie Xiaonian was staring at the toffee, Xu Zhongjun thought she wanted to eat it. It happened that today they were lucky and they had the toffee, so they immediately took Xie Xiaonian and started to line up.

Xie Xiaonian also wanted to taste the difference between the toffee at this time and the later generations, so when Xu Zhongjun led her to line up, she did not refuse.

The two of them just started queuing up when they heard a piercing voice from behind: "Hey, isn't this Xie Xiaonian, the poor ghost in the class? The bumpkins still want to buy snacks, can you afford them?"
