At the same time, Zhou Huaian was also considering doing something?

But after thinking about it, I always feel that now is not the right time and I need to wait a little longer.

The college entrance examination is coming soon, and I can clearly feel that the atmosphere is getting better and better. After a while, I think it will be easier to do something.

This year is the first New Year that Su Qingxue has spent in Beijing since returning from the countryside, and she doesn't want to be too perfunctory.

Even though there is still a month to go before the Chinese New Year, I am already thinking about what to prepare.

Finding a time when Zhou's mother took the twins out to play, Su Qingxue and Zhou Huaian went to the department store together, the largest one in Beijing.

Normally when I go shopping, I can just buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative not far from my home. But thinking that there are a lot of things to prepare for the New Year, I just went straight to the department store.

The two of them each rode a bicycle, worried that they had bought too many things and it would be difficult to bring them back. After all, they couldn't store them openly in the space.

This was Su Qingxue's first time in this department store. Even though it wasn't the New Year yet, there were a lot of people inside, and the store was filled to the brim with supplies.

I can only say that the First Department Store is worthy of the name First. At least the things inside do not disappoint.

The monthly ration of food at home is just enough for us to eat, but there will definitely be guests coming during the New Year, so we might as well buy all of it now.

She didn't buy too much, just 20 kilograms, and she planned to take out the rest of the food from the space.

There will soon be no shortage of food, and we won’t need food coupons to buy food in the future. We can also take out the food that was stored in the basement and use it slowly.

Su Qingxue planned to use the food in the space now, and then buy fresh food when the food trading was free.

Although there was no careful inventory, but a rough look showed that there was a lot of food in the space. Many of them were collected from the Su family's basement, and some were food bricks from the Su family's old house.

Su Qingxue didn't plan to eat those grain bricks herself. She didn't know how many years they had been stored when she collected them, not to mention they were very hard. There was no shortage of food now, so there was no need to force herself to suffer.

If the harvested grain is about 10,000 kilograms, it will be enough for the family to eat for several years.

The department store is extremely lively and once you get in, it's really packed with people.

I bought 20 kilograms of rice, and saw that I also bought 20 kilograms of flour next to it. I originally didn't plan to buy cornmeal, but when I saw that the cornmeal was ground very finely, I couldn't help it and just bought 20 kilograms.

Use cornmeal and flour together to steam buns. Add a little more flour and mix some brown sugar in it. The steamed buns will taste great.

Seeing the candies and pastries on the other side, I bought some as well, including egg cakes, fish biscuits, and mung bean cakes. These things can’t be stored for long, so I bought two kilograms of each and prepared to save them for the children.

I bought a lot of various dried goods that can be stored for a long time. The department store has a wide variety of supplies, not only mountain products, but also various dried goods from the sea.

When Su Qingxue saw those dried seafood, she thought about the precious seafood of this era that was both cheap and abundant, and felt it necessary to stock up more in the space.

Decades later, some of those precious seafoods are no longer available even if you want to eat them. After all, some have become protected animals, and some are simply not that big, and after they are all caught, the only ones left are small ones.

He quietly talked to Zhou Huaian next to him and decided to go to Jinshi when they were free.

Find an opportunity to quietly go to the beach and sail out to sea by yourself. Anyway, the space can collect things within a five-meter radius, and those that cannot be collected can be bought.

There are many fishermen there who make a living by fishing, so it is not a problem to secretly buy a few thousand kilograms.

Zhou Huaian nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Although Zhou Huaian didn't understand why his wife wanted to store things in the space, after all, things were getting better and better and it would be more and more convenient to buy things in the future, he didn't object. He felt that spending a little money to make his wife happy was not a big deal.

Su Qingxue nodded with satisfaction, bought some things that could be used at home on the first floor, including various seasonings and spices needed for stewing, and then went to the second floor.

I definitely have to buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year. I'll buy a set for each of the children in my family. Although the ones I made myself are pretty good, there are too many people in my family, so I decided to give up.

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I found that it was extremely crowded. The second floor specializes in selling valuable items, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, watches, ready-made clothes, and even a small counter selling gold and silver jewelry. No wonder there are so many people there.

Su Qingxue and Zhou Huaian squeezed in there for almost an hour, buying clothes for their parents-in-law, their parents, their seven children, and even Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Gu and his wife.

Although ready-made clothes do not require tickets, the prices are relatively more than twice as expensive. Fortunately, I bought clothes that I liked, so it was worth the extra money.
