From Cultivator to Widow

Chapter 11: seventies

The thing about going to the market was long gone when she was in her first life. The store is open every day, and you can buy anything you want at any time.

It is different now. The planned economy does not allow private trading, and there is a lack of material. Before the original body, I wanted to buy cotton to make a bed and quilt.

If you want to buy something now, you can only go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Going to the market is an old saying, and now there are no people from four villages and eight townships to go to the market together, but there is news. Today is the first time when the new year's goods of the supply and marketing cooperative are new. Go to the market as before. Almost there.

When the goods are the most complete, they will be gone when they are late.

So everyone called friends, and a dozen of them set off for the town early in the morning.

Their town, called Yanhui Town, is the county seat, and there is no shopping mall in the city, but compared to the small supply and marketing cooperatives in other towns, the supply and marketing cooperatives in their town can be called a small shopping mall.

They went early, but there were people earlier, and there were already a lot of people queuing up ahead.

Zhao Xialan is Yuanshen's best friend, and the two act together.

Some people want to buy fabrics to make clothes, some people want to buy food to satisfy their cravings, and some people don't buy anything, just come and see the excitement...

Su An and Zhao Xialan divided the labor and cooperated. Su An went to line up to buy towels and other daily necessities. Zhao Xialan went to buy candy and snacks. Su An gave her the tickets and money. It's also very fast, and doesn't give much time to think about it at all.

"what to buy?"

"That's it? Want it?"

"Next!"

"Don't buy, don't come!"

The attitude was impatient, but no one dared to protest.

There was only one type of towel. Su An didn’t know the fabric either. It was soft to the touch, so she took two. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to buy five in one go, but that this one also required a ticket. Clothes.

If the clothes outside are worn out, they should be worn out. Everyone is like this. Those without any patches are an outlier. Inside, Su An wants to wear more comfortable clothes. Also, the children at home can pick up bigger ones to wear, but they can't wear bigger ones. After picking up the clothes and wearing them, Zhang Baoguo is already drawing strips, his trouser legs are a bit shorter, and it is time to make new clothes.

The fabric is not cheap. She spent more than fifteen yuan just to buy the fabric. After returning, she was able to make a pair of trousers, a piece of clothing, three children and a piece of underwear for Zhang Baoguo.

Besides, the soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. for bathing were all bought and squeezed out. Su An was sweating all over.

But is this over?

No, she also wants to buy seasonings such as salt and soy sauce, fine noodles, and some Chinese New Year dumplings.

She also wants to buy sweets...

After buying it out, Su An felt a little guilty. It seemed to be a little overrun, so she will save a little.

Then when he went to Zhao Xialan's side, when he saw the whole piece of pork, Su An only thought about how many meat tickets he had.

If nothing else, the lard is really gone, I have to buy it! Fat and thin pork belly, buy it! Boiled pork bones for soup, buy it!

Zhao Xialan, who finally lined up to buy sugar, saw Su An's harvest and was stunned: "Why did you buy so much!?"

Su An: "I bought it for the Chinese New Year." She had already put some of it in the mustard space, otherwise Zhao Xialan would be even more surprised.

Su An gave her the cloth, meat, and other things she bought for her, and she took out a bag of the brown sugar she bought and gave it to Su An.

"Finally bought candy, it's been a long time since the children in my family have eaten sweets." Zhao Xialan thought of the smiles on the children's faces after returning home, and the pain became lighter.

The child is too thin and needs to drink some sweet tonic.

Everyone came together, it doesn't mean they go back together, they are all spread out and go home in twos and threes.

After Su An finished shopping, she also took Zhao Xialan to walk around the town. Although this town is a county seat, it is not big and the planning is very simple. Where is the government, where are the factories, schools, and hospitals.

Su Hui was keenly aware of something when she passed by an alley. Private transactions are not allowed on the bright side, but this is absolutely impossible, so the black market came into being.

It's not a good time to explore it now, and come back another day when it gets dark.

Both of them came here with a bamboo basket on their backs, put the meat at the bottom and the rest on top, then put the lid on, and the two of them walked back like this. Although they set off early, it took a lot of time to line up. Time, it's almost time to make lunch when we go back.

Zhang Baoguo and the others all knew where their mother went, and they were looking forward to it. They stayed at home obediently. Zhang Weiguo, who liked to run outside the most, seemed to be nailed to the bottom of his feet.

As soon as she saw her mother came back, she cheered and greeted Dawei together.

Zhang Weiguo: "Mom, you're back!" The whole voice was full of excitement. Before, when my mother went to the supply and marketing cooperative to help her family buy salt and vinegar, she would stuff them a candy as a snack in private.

Zhang Dingguo hugged his mother's leg: "Mom, what did you buy?"

Zhang Weiguo: "Did Mommy come back with meat?"

Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Anguo did not speak, and their eyes were bright with anticipation.

Su An put down the basket, closed the courtyard door, and covered the house when she got home.

"Mom came back after buying meat. Are you obedient? If you are obedient, you will have meat. If you are obedient, you will have no meat."

The four radishes said in unison, "We're good!"

"Baoguo, you go to the fire, Weiguo, you go to wash the taro." Su An gave two toffees by herself: "Eat it by yourself, don't eat it outside."

"Big White Rabbit!" Zhang Baoguo still remembered that his father once brought back a pack, and he still remembers the taste.

Su An put the rest of the things in the cabinet and closed the kitchen window tightly. Today, she wants to treat her taste buds well!

Lard is fried in pork suet, and the fat changes into a liquid, slowly shrinking from a large piece, and finally turns into a brown mass of oil residue.

This was the first time for Su An to eat oil residue. She squinted her eyes with satisfaction when she ate it in her mouth. It turned out that the oil residue was so delicious.

She was cooking a big meal there, and the smell was inevitably spread, but their home was in a good location, and it was downwind. It floated to the back mountain in the direction of the wind. The smell was not so big, but the children on the mountain I still smelled it, and it was fragrant and drooling there. Who made the meat? It's so fragrant!

After returning home, it is inevitable that he will be obsessed with the adults and want to eat meat, which will attract a scolding from the adults.

Who doesn't want to eat meat, where does the meat come from?

The New Year's goods are starting to arrive. Naturally, the students are also on vacation. After an exam with the teacher's own questions, the winter vacation begins.

His mother is a teacher. Zhang Baoguo's grades have always been good, but he is only one year older than him, and his cousin Zhang Jinhua, who is in the third grade with him, is not good enough.

Zhao Laidi looked at her son's report card and the scores on it. Even though Zhang Jinhua was her only son, her face fell.

"How many marks did your brother get in the test?"

Zhang Jinhua didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that his **** would suffer: "I don't know!"

Zhang Quan looked at it openly: "Why are you doing this, just recognize a few words."

Zhao Laidi's face is still not good, just recognize a few words? If she didn't have a primary school education, could Su Hui be a leisurely teacher?

In addition to being busy with farming, you can get full work points that only men can get without going to the ground!

She was upset. Seeing her son's fast running back, she suddenly thought of something and went to her mother-in-law's room.

She had heard others say that Su Hui went to the town and came home with a lot of old stuff, she must have bought a lot of stuff, how could she not be filial to the old man?
