I originally thought they were going to sit on the back of the tractor, squeeze together with the rice, and take this ride.

But I didn't expect——

Li Fengbei took a long stride and sat on the driver's seat of the tractor.

He extended his palm towards Qiao Anle, "Wife, come and sit on it."

Qiao Anle was stunned.

She looked at the palm of the man in front of her, and then looked at the space next to Li Fengbei that was deliberately left empty.

I never thought she could even sit in the passenger seat of a tractor!

Qiao Anle held Li Fengbei's palm.

With the man's arm exerting force, Qiao Anle easily stepped onto the tractor and sat down steadily.

Her vision suddenly became higher, and she looked around curiously and asked.

"Can you drive a tractor?"

Li Fengbei skillfully steered the car and replied, "I learned it in the army before."

When Qiao Anle thought about it, he felt that it was right.

Li Fengbei might even be able to drive a battle tank, so a small tractor is nothing at all.

This is a tractor from the 1970s!

It's the coolest car.

Sitting in this is just like sitting in a BMW supercar decades later!

Qiao Anle was excited and felt it was novel.

Li Fengbei warned, "The road ahead is quite steep and will be quite bumpy. Sit tight and hold on tight. If you get scared, hold on to me. I'll try to drive as steadily as possible."

"Uh-huh."

Qiao Anle nodded.

The little hands had naturally wrapped around Li Fengbei's waist.

The man who was reaching out to start the engine had the corners of his lips slightly raised.

…

The rumbling tractor drove on the mountain road for almost an hour.

The mighty army finally entered the county town.

Their first stop was the county grain station.

Li Fengbei knew the person in charge of the grain station. After they met and exchanged a few pleasantries, they immediately began to hand over their work.

Qiao Anle took advantage of this time to carefully observe his surroundings.

To her surprise, this small county town has developed quite well.

There are two main roads in the county town, and the others are smaller roads, all of which are square and arranged in a criss-cross pattern.

On the way to the grain station.

She also passed by a credit union, a hospital, and the county office building, and actually saw a three-story building, which was quite impressive in that era.

If I could live here, it would be many times more convenient than living in a small mountain village.

While Qiao Anle was thinking about these things, Li Fengbei had already finished dealing with the matter and walked out.

The people at the grain station are responsible for unloading the grain, so he can take Qiao Anle to the supply and marketing cooperative now.

The supply and marketing cooperative is on the other side of the county town, a bit far from the grain station.

The two walked for a long time and finally arrived.

Before Qiao Anle saw the doorplate of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he saw a huge crowd of people queuing in a long line.

No need to think, it must be there!

Nowadays, there are no department stores or small vendors, and all daily necessities have to be purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives.

Therefore, there are always long queues in front of the supply and marketing cooperative every day.

Qiao Anle and Li Fengbei followed the crowd and stood at the end of the team.

As soon as the two of them appeared, Li Fengbei's taller height immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Not to mention, even if the man was wearing simple and plain clothes, he still couldn't hide his awe-inspiring aura.

It attracted the attention of others.

Many people came to see Li Fengbei, and quite a few people also came to see Qiao Anle.

Because she took off her straw hat and did not wear a headscarf, her fair face, delicate features, and bright and charming appearance were unique in the small county town.

Li Fengbei turned sideways calmly.

He used his broad body to block the sight of those who were peeping at Qiao Anle.

He whispered with concern, "Wife, are you tired?"

"I've only walked a short distance, but I'm not tired at all. On the contrary, I feel very refreshed. The county town is much better than I expected. There's even a regular hospital. I even saw a bus just now..."

Qiao Anle told Li Fengbei everything he saw and heard.

Li Fengbei had been to the county town before, so he naturally knew all this, but when it came out from Qiao Anle's red lips, it sounded more fresh than before.

Although there are many people queuing, they move quickly.

The time it takes to speak.

They had already entered the supply and marketing cooperative from outside the door.

The entire supply and marketing cooperative is like a department store.

Cereals, oils, rice, noodles, clothes, shoes, cloths, kettles, candies, dry goods, books, pens...anything you can use in daily life, they all sell it.

Although they are just light industrial products, they are already the best in this era.

Qiao Anle even saw a radio and a watch on the shelf.

Placed in the highest and most conspicuous position, it is "three turns and one ring", not only a commodity, but also hard currency.

Many young people ask for these things specifically when they get married.

The stuff is good, so the price is naturally not low.

That watch alone costs eighty dollars.

You have to know that the salary of an ordinary worker in that era was only 15 to 20 yuan. Even if you didn't eat or drink, you would have to save for half a year.

A true luxury.

Qiao Anle was watching intently when something was suddenly stuffed into her hand.

It's an envelope.

The envelope was stuffed so full that it bulged out, a thick stack.

She looked down and saw that they were all... colorful bills and money!

Adding them all together, it’s at least a few hundred yuan!
