| Chapter 14 Supply and Marketing Cooperative. | |
| Tian Manyin saw that his daughter really didn't like meat buns, so he gave the buns to his son to share. Donghua and Qinghua were very sensible. They both touched their bellies and said they were full. Tian Manyin smiled. He knew how much his two sons eat. He could eat at least three of these meat buns. The three children were saving it for him! | |
| Tian Manyin, who was deeply moved, blinked and felt his nose was a little sore. Since he was on the street, he didn't give in much and ate the buns on his hand in three mouthfuls. He still wrapped the remaining seven buns in paper and put them in the basket behind the bicycle. | |
| Seeing the post office, Tian Sisi thought about the red stamps in the motherland that were very popular in later generations. However, it is now 1972. The post office should not be selling these stamps, but there should be many other types of stamps for sale now. In her previous life, she read on the Internet that the stamps issued in this period are quite valuable in later generations. Thinking of this, Tian Sisi happily took Tian Manyin and the others to the post office. | |
| Tian Sisi didn't know which stamps were good and which were bad, so she bought some at 4 cents each, and bought about twenty stamps. The money was paid by Tian Manyin. She originally wanted to buy more, but seeing Tian Manyin's expression of pain and hesitation, Tian Sisi had to buy less. She should wait until she earns money later. | |
| "Dad, we can write more letters to Third Uncle (Tian Aiguo) and Brother Zhonghua in the future, so that Third Uncle will not always complain about us not writing enough letters." Tian Sisi found an excellent reason. | |
| Tian Manyin thought about it. When his eldest brother came back to visit relatives during the New Year, he complained that he wrote less and less letters, and asked him to write at least one letter a month in the future. Grandma didn't mention it but he forgot about it. Now there was no need for Tian Sisi to remind him. He ran to the counter and bought a dozen envelopes for a penny each, enough for the family to use for a year. | |
| How could you not go to the supply and marketing cooperative when you came to town? Today's supply and marketing cooperative is comparable to the supermarket of later generations. You can buy everything. Tian Manyin originally wanted to go back, but couldn't rely on Tian Sisi's coquettishness, so he had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative again. | |
| Wang Qiumeng worked here. When she saw Tian Manyin and the others, she stood up happily and said, "Second brother, did you take the children to the street to buy things?" | |
| "I mainly went to change my name for my grandmother. She said she must come here to have a look, so she came here." Tian Manyin explained to his younger siblings with a smile. | |
| "Tell aunt, Donghua and Qinghua what you want to eat, and she will buy it for you." Wang Qiumeng was very polite and talked to the three children with a smile. | |
| Tian Sisi shook her head, "Auntie, you don't need to spend money. I have money myself. I'll buy some biscuits later. Auntie, help me bring them to Zhenhua and the others. |" | |
| Tian Sisi was still feeling guilty for tricking the little guy in Zhenhua yesterday. She just happened to buy some biscuits for the little guy to eat this time. Wang Qiumeng smiled and said, "Grandma will keep her own money and spend it slowly later. Brother Zhenhua and the others have food, so you don't need to buy it for them." | |
| "Some of them were bought by my uncle and aunt. I have never bought food for Zhenhua once." Tian Sisi insisted. She really wanted to buy biscuits for Tian Mantong's three children. The original owner had always enjoyed Tian Mantong's kindness to her, but didn't know how to repay her. She couldn't be such a white-eyed wolf. | |
| Wang Qiumeng couldn't resist Tian Sisi, and Tian Manyin also helped, "It's okay, brothers and sisters, just let A'nan buy it. You and Mantong often buy things for A'nan and the three of them, so it's right for A'nan to buy some biscuits for Zhenhua and the others." | |
| Wang Qiumeng, who couldn't compete with the father and daughter, had to follow Tian Sisi. The supply and marketing cooperative had two kinds of biscuits, one round and one square, with many small holes and a lot of sugar stuck on them. They cost two cents a pound, which is considered high-end now. Tian Sisi also bought a pound. Another waitress wrapped them in hemp paper and tied a bow with a rope. The boxy ones looked like gift boxes. | |
| "Auntie, your wrapping is so beautiful." Tian Sisi praised her sincerely. It was so angular that most people really couldn't wrap it up. | |
| The waitress was a plump woman in her thirties who seemed to be quite talkative. After hearing Tian Sisi's words, she immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile and turned to Wang Qiumeng and said, "Xiao Wang, your niece has such a sweet mouth. It makes me feel so sweet when she talks about it. She also has a good appearance, even prettier than the little girls in Shanghai." | |
| Wang Qiumeng was very proud, but her face was calm and her mouth was modest, "Sister Li, please stop praising her. Our grandma's tail will be raised to the sky." | |
| "Auntie, I don't have a tail." Tian Sisi corrected seriously. | |
| Wang Qiumeng and the fat woman were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, especially the fat woman Sister Li. She laughed so hard that the ashes on the beams shook down. Sister Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and kept rubbing her belly, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much. Xiao Wang, your niece is so cute. She really misses me." | |
| Tian Sisi looked at the two women laughing incomprehensibly, and secretly complained that the point of laughter was really too low. She hadn't even told a joke yet, so she couldn't stand it anymore. If she told some jokes she had seen in her previous life, wouldn't they have to faint from laughter? | |
| Tian Sisi then bought some fruit candies and sorghum candy, put them in a paper bag, and bought two kilograms of salt, which cost eight cents a kilogram. She noticed that the salt at home was about to be used up. She also bought two boxes of clam oil, which was packed in shells and cost only five cents a box. Tian Sisi used this kind of hand rub oil when she was a child. It is really effective in wiping hands in winter and will not cause frostbite. | |
| She saw Mrs. Zhao scratching her hands several times, and some places were swollen. The same was true for Tian Manyin and Zhu Aiqing's hands. Maybe people nowadays didn't have the awareness to take care of their hands. Obviously, this clam oil is very cheap, but only a few people use it. | |
| Tian Sisi also saw Yashuang Snow Cream, a familiar yellow square cardboard box with small floral flowers. Inside was a white jade-like porcelain bottle with a green bottle cap. Tian Sisi had used this kind of cream when she was a child. It had a strong fragrance and was very good for keeping warm and moisturizing in winter. This kind of cream disappeared for a long time, but it became popular again before Tian Sisi traveled through time. You can see it in shopping malls selling Yashuang. It still has this kind of packaging and has not changed at all. | |
| Yashuang is not cheap, a bottle costs 50 cents (Lao Yang couldn't find any information about this price, so he had to make a rough estimate). Tian Sisi calculated how much it cost in her mind. Two kilograms of biscuits were 40 cents, a pack of sugar was 45 cents, salt was 16 cents, and two boxes of clam oil were 1 cent. She had brought five yuan with her, and the old man gave her another two yuan. After excluding the six cents she had just bought for the buns, she still had six yuan and three cents left. | |
| Money now is so valuable, Tian Sisi couldn't help but sigh, it's not like in her previous life, when she went to the supermarket with a red ticket and couldn't buy anything at all. In this case, let's buy two bottles of Yashuang, one for my aunt and one for my mother. If I only buy it for my mother and not my aunt, it's not good. The most important thing is that my aunt is just watching. | |
| Tian Sisi forgot again that she was just a little kid now, why should she consider so many human relationships? She piled two bottles of Yashuang with other things and asked Sister Li to count the money for her. Although Wang Qiumeng was curious as to why Tian Sisi bought so many things, she didn't ask any more questions. | |
| "Two yuan and a dime." Sister Li clicked on her abacus and quickly reported the amount. | |
| Tian Manyin wanted to take money out of the bag. In his opinion, where could an adult ask the child to pay? Tian Sisi resolutely refused to let Tian Manyin pay, "Dad, I don't want you to pay. I bought this myself. I have money." | |
| While talking to Tian Sisi, she took out the money from her pocket, counted out two yuan and a dime and gave it to Sister Li. When she saw a little girl carrying so much money, Sister Li raised her eyebrows. The adults in this family must be too lenient. How could they put so much money on a child? Don't worry about losing it either. | |
| Tian Sisi handed two packs of biscuits and a bottle of cream to Wang Qiumeng, startling her, "Ah, one pack of biscuits is enough. The other pack is for Donghua and Tsinghua. You can also take the cream back to your mother. How can I use your child's things?" | |
| "Donghua and Tsinghua have sweets to eat, and you and Mom each have a bottle of cream, so they all make you feel good." Tian Sisi tried her best to speak in a child's tone. | |
| Tian Manyin didn't expect his daughter to have such a big idea, but it was appropriate to give it to his aunt. Over the years, the children in the family were wearing and wearing clothes that Mantong brought back. Tian Manyin smiled and asked Wang Qiumeng to accept it. The adults all spoke, and Wang Qiumeng had no choice but to accept it. ps: Come over with your recommendation votes! |
