On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Xinyu and Zhang Hong sent out two packages together.

The larger package was sent to Su Huazhu, and the smaller one was sent to Qiao Jiuru.

The contents of the packages were the same. Su Huazhu's package contained nearly two packs of sanitary napkins and about three bags of wool. Qiao Jiuru's package contained two packs of sanitary napkins and two bags of wool.

All these sanitary napkins were bought at overseas Chinese stores with overseas Chinese coupons bought on the black market. Xinyu went there twice by herself. Later, she and her daughter-in-law Luo Meiling went there separately. From the third day to the sixth day of the first lunar month, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went there twice each, buying four or five packs each time, and only then did they buy so many.

As for the wool, half was bought at department stores, and the other half was bought at a high price on the black market.

Although the two packages looked large, they were very light, so it didn't cost much for postage.

"I'll send it to Huazhu and Jiuru again in three months."

Fang Xinyu came out of the post office and breathed a sigh of relief. The sanitary ware was really useful, but it was hard to buy and expensive.

But, there is no way, women have to use these things every month, they can't live without them at all.

Fortunately, the sanitary napkins she had just sent away could be used for about four to five months as long as Qiao Jiuru, her daughter-in-law, and her daughter used them sparingly.

In addition, Zhang Hong also found a special bathing recipe for them. It was made of herbs that were easy to find or buy in the countryside. Although it was a bit troublesome, it could reduce many women's problems.

"Next time, buy less, no more than three packs. Fortunately, they are doing well over there."

Zhang Hong told his wife to be careful. It was a pity that he didn't have a reliable female comrade to help him, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry so much about attracting other people's attention because of buying too much.

However, knowing that Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru's family were doing well there, we were really relieved.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

Fang Xinyu also knew what was going on, and she would not rashly take such a big risk. Qiao Jiuru wrote to her and said that she was studying how to make this kind of sanitary ware, and as long as she made a simple version, she would not have to take such a big risk in the future.

She only buys three packs once a month, which makes her feel a lot more relaxed.

Every two or three months, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan would send wild delicacies to us and Lu Baoguo, and would also send back good ointments. This time when our son and his family came back to visit, we old couple even asked us to bring back several wild delicacies and ointments.

"Old Lu said that Xiao Song brought back so many wild delicacies to our factory this time, and also exchanged a lot of fabrics with the textile factory. I also took the opportunity to exchange some for Old Su and Old Qiao, and asked Xiao Song to bring them back to us when the time comes."

Zhang Hong rode his bicycle with his wife as they rushed home, talking about how it was a day off so they didn't have to go to work.

"Have you prepared the medicine for Xiao Song?!"

"I've been preparing for a long time. I've been preparing all the time."

"Xiao Song has a month's home visit leave and should return after Friday."

"The production team over there is pretty good. The girl that Xiao Luo introduced to me wrote to her a while ago and said that she is living a better life now than at home."

"That child is pitiful, but fortunately she has gotten through this difficult time. I heard that everyone helped the little girl get a few hundred yuan from her father. As long as she keeps the money, she won't have to endure this difficult time."

"I heard that in the countryside, as long as you can get six work points a day, you can grow some vegetables or dig some wild vegetables and you won't have any problem getting enough food."

"Didn't Xiao Song tell us? If there's not enough food, we can buy more from the production team. The production team over there is easy to talk to. As long as they don't cause trouble for our family, they won't make things difficult for us kids."

"Of course. We know that these city kids have never worked on the land. How can we expect them to do eight or ten work points of work in one day? You can't become fat in one go. You have to do it step by step. The girls can slowly work from four work points to six work points. That's good. The boys can do eight to ten work points, which is just enough to support themselves."

"If Xiaohua and Xiaoli also want to go back to the countryside in the future, we can also use our connections to get them to Huazhu or Xiaoru's production team."

"Don't worry, we still have three more people each and five more each. We can find a way to operate it when the time comes."

"We should first understand the situation of the production team over there, so that we don't have to grope around in the dark in the future."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

…

The couple chatted all the way, and after returning home, Zhang Hong went to the hospital again.

Song Luoyun takes her children to help grandparents sweep the streets and toilets every day. She can only do more when she is at home so that grandparents can do less. In such cold weather, the elderly and children are most likely to get sick.

It's a pity that after the fifth day, I will have to buy a ticket back to the production team around the seventh.

However, I can still come back to visit my relatives once a week in the future, which is already very good.

After Song Luoyun finished the work for his grandparents, he said hello to the two old people and went to the scrap collection station.

Of course, I didn't go looking for bargains. Before I came back to visit my family, Aunt Qiao asked me to go to the scrap collection station to find some high school courses and some review materials, and asked me to buy them and bring them back.

When he arrived at the scrap collection station, Song Luoyun explained his purpose directly to the old man guarding the door, and was then taken to a special place for waste paper.

After Song Luoyun thanked him, he bent down and began to look for it. Aunt Qiao also specifically reminded him not to look around, take anything randomly, or buy anything randomly, and only buy what he could, otherwise it would harm him and his family.

Now the Song family is neither desperate nor desperate, and they have burdens and responsibilities, so they naturally dare not act recklessly. Therefore, Song Luoyun really only bought a set of junior high school and high school textbooks, as well as the learning materials he found.

The old man at the scrap collection station saw that Song Luoyun only wanted courses and materials, so he was no longer so cautious and vigilant. In the end, Song Luoyun only spent fifty cents to buy a bunch of courses and materials.

Song Luoyun walked all the way back home carrying the books and materials, and then stayed at home without going out again.

The next morning, after helping grandparents sweep the streets and the toilets and having lunch, 놛 took the initiative to go to Xinhua Bookstore with Xiao 뎃.

Aunt Qiao asked me to go to Xinhua Bookstore to find study materials and buy anything I hadn't seen before.

In addition to coming to Xinhua Bookstore to buy study materials with a mission, Song Luoyun also planned to buy some comic books, pens, ink and paper for his younger brothers and sisters.

Anyway, my younger brothers and sisters who don't go to school are bored at home, so they might as well find something to do and learn some first-level knowledge in advance.

Finally, I bought two pencils and two writing pads for Xiao, a cheap fountain pen and a bottle of ink.

Little 뎃 was so happy to get so many things. It was great that his big brother was at home, which made 놛 feel more confident.
