"Okay, put your luggage in the car, buy anything you need, and meet here after lunch." Li Deyong said with disgust. Although the female educated youth was arrested just now, Kang Yan, he also had to go to the Public Security Bureau to check. After all, she was an educated youth from their brigade, and he had to know the reason.

Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu looked at each other, put their luggage on the ox cart, and walked away hand in hand.

"Is the supply and marketing cooperative over here?" Jiang Yule suddenly stopped where he was, looking at the road ahead in confusion, and asked Meng Wanshu beside him.

"I don't know... I just followed your lead." Meng Wanshu was also confused. This was her first time in this place...

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. They looked around and saw an aunt passing by. Jiang Yule stepped forward and asked, "Aunt, can you tell me how to get to the state-owned department store?"

When the aunt saw these two pretty girls, she was a little surprised at first, then she came to her senses and said, "You're going the wrong way to the state-owned department store. Go straight to the end of the road opposite, then turn right and you will see it."

"Okay, thank you, auntie." Jiang Yule thanked his auntie and walked along the road.

"What are you going to buy?" Jiang Yule thought about her nearly empty suitcase and the luggage that was still on the way. She didn't know whether she should buy anything today or not. The weather was not cold, so she could pretend that there was a blanket in the suitcase and take it out from the space, but it would be unrealistic to have another big item...

“I want to buy a bicycle”

"Ah?" Meng Wanshu's words shocked Jiang Yule so much that she didn't know what to say. She was planning to buy a bicycle, but this person rode a bicycle back before entering the village. Wasn't it a bit too ostentatious...

"I want to buy a bicycle." Meng Wanshu thought Jiang Yule didn't hear clearly, so she said it again.

If Jiang Yule didn't care about her image, she would really want to roll her eyes. Is she talking about something she didn't hear clearly?

"I do plan to buy a bicycle, but is it too early now..." Jiang Yule hesitated. She was not a clingy person, but this world was not the world she had lived in for 30 years. The unfamiliar feeling made her feel uneasy. However, there was no reason to guard against thieves all day long. She had money, so she naturally wanted to give herself a good life, but not now.

"It's early indeed, I'm just saying, hehehe." Meng Wanshu smiled foolishly. She just kept muttering. Her biggest hobby before coming here was reading novels, and she read a lot of novels about the period. Naturally, she also knew what a bicycle meant in this era.

"Let's go take a look first." Jiang Yule was speechless about Meng Wanshu's mentality. This girl was so arrogant when they first met, why is she like a silly girl now?

The two of them arrived at the state-owned department store. They didn't know whether most of the workers were at work in the middle of the morning or what, but it wasn't as crowded as Jiang Yule remembered the department stores in Beijing.

Jiang Yule bought two basins and nothing else, but Meng Wanshu bought a lot of miscellaneous things, such as cakes, vanishing cream, water cups, towels, flashlights...

I didn't stop until I couldn't hold it anymore.

"You didn't take anything? Why did you buy towels..." Jiang Yule was shocked when he saw Meng Wanshu carrying so many bags. Her suitcase was not small, so she couldn't have only taken a few clothes like her...

"Not really. I saw some on the road and it didn't look expensive, so I bought it..."

Only Jiang Yule could accept Meng Wanshu's statement. If it were someone else, they would probably label her as "landlord" or "rich", "revolutionary", or "rightist". No matter what they said, they would have to choose one of the labels...

"Let's go, it's almost time, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for a meal." Jiang Yule glanced at the watch on his hand. It was late, but he was also hungry because he didn't eat breakfast.

"Okay, when we just got here I saw the state-owned restaurant and the post office, I wanted to call home."

"Okay, I'll make one too." Jiang Yule nodded.

In this era when some villages don’t even have electricity, phone bills are even more expensive. When Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu entered the store, no one was on the phone.

Jiang Yule only called Aunt An's house and kept telling her to take care of herself. When he heard Jiang Yule was about to go out for dinner, he hung up the phone.

On the contrary, Meng Wanshu called several people one after another. It seemed that she had contacted not only her father, but also her grandparents.

I have to say... Jiang Yule is envious. In this life, if the original owner's parents were still alive, or even if she had a brother or sister, she wouldn't be so lonely.

But there are not so many ifs in this world.

But from another perspective, the absence of the original owner's relatives doesn't seem to be a bad thing for her...

After all, no matter their personal abilities or personalities, two people are very different. Others may not notice anything, but relatives may not.

Jiang Yule was thinking wildly as he and Meng Wanshu staggered all the way to the state-owned hotel.

Looking at what Meng Wanshu was holding, Jiang Yule pointed to the sign at the window and asked, "Do you want to eat anything? I'll go order it, you go find a seat first."

Meng Wanshu looked around and wanted to eat each one she saw....

"Yu Le, you take care of it. I want to eat it all. Order more so we can have dinner. I'll give you the money later." Meng Wanshu originally wanted to give the money to Jiang Yu Le directly, but when she saw the full amount of food in her hands, she had to give up.

"Okay, then you find a seat first," Jiang Yule said, carrying his two enamel basins to the window.

"Hello, comrade. I want one portion of braised pork, one portion of chicken stewed with mushrooms, one portion of three fresh vegetables, and 4 taels of dumplings."
