Unconsciously, the whole month has passed and we have entered early spring. The direction of history is always surprisingly similar.

After the light snowfall on the embankment, just as Su Xia had expected, there was no more snow.

The morning rain seems to be teasing the one I love on this barren land, always saying goodbye and leaving.

There was really not a drop left.

Although God did not provide any blessing, the villagers started the spring ploughing work step by step.

On the contrary, because the temperature rose faster than in previous years, early plowing started half a month earlier than in previous years.

The whole brigade began to get busy one after another, turning the fields, threshing, and planting wheat.

The strong laborers turn the grass, compact and apply fertilizer, usually 12 centimeters a day, while the women clean up the turned-out magazines, first class. 8-10 centimeters a day.

Even the children helped out as much as they could.

Su Xia decided to inherit the original owner's will.

But I couldn’t just sit there, so I decided to plant a garden.

I didn't ask Lao Zhai for help, I just read it slowly day by day.

Su Xia looked at the fruits of her labor for half a month. There was a small plot in the east of the front yard where she planned to plant some seasonal vegetables.

The backyard is reserved for beans, persimmons, eggplants, and the like.

My own well was newly dug and has plenty of water, so I can plant whatever I want.

Su Xia scattered all the wood ash she had saved over the winter on the turned soil - she really didn't want her yard to be filled with the smell of farm manure, which was too strong.

Before planting the garden, Su Xia prepared to go to the county town. The cows in the village were used for spring plowing, so she had to walk there.

"Niuniu, your mother is going to the county town. Are you okay at home?"

"Mom, can I go with you?" Niu Niu also wanted to go.

“Now there are no bullock carts, so you have to walk all the way, which takes almost two hours?

Can you hold on? ”

After listening to 누 walking for so long, Niu Niu looked down at her short legs and said, "Mom, I'll wait for you at home. Niu Niu walks slowly, and Mom is so tired holding me."

"Niuniu is awesome. Mom will go to the county town to see if there are any fun toys. I will bring them back to you when the time comes.

Your snacks are almost gone, buy some more! “Su Xia will be much more generous with children within her ability.

Niuniu laughed happily, "Mom, do you have any money? I can give it to Dad!"

"Well, if there's nothing left, tell your dad. I'll go to the post office first to see if there's any letter from your dad."

I didn't remit money last month, so I can send it all together this month.

Su Xia gave Niu Niu some candies and hurried away with the basket on her back.

The child has grown up and is used to playing by himself, so Su Xia is relieved.

After walking almost 200 meters out of the village, I looked around and saw that there was no one around.

I took out the bicycle from the space, rode it and headed towards the county town. Now that the temperature has risen, I don’t feel cold while riding.

I rushed to the county town and found a deserted place to store my bicycle.

Su Xia went to the post office first with a basket on his back, "Comrade, get the letter, it's from Chen Jianguo."

"Okay, comrade, please wait a moment."

After a short while, the staff found it.

Su Xia took the letter, walked out, found a place where not many people were, opened the letter, saw the money first, counted it, 80 yuan, then counted it again, still 80.

Is there a salary increase?

Su Xia then read the letter quickly, first asking her parents how her child was doing...

The purpose is to explain that my salary has increased by one level, because I did not come back during the Chinese New Year, and the project was very successful, so I gave myself a promotion.

Now I am 45, and I send 40 to Su Xia every month. I can spend the money as I please. If I have any difficulties, I can go to my parents directly...

Third, he said he couldn’t come back in the near future and would try to come back during the Chinese New Year at the end of the year.

After reading the letter, Su Xia thought about what she would do in the future. In fact, she would have to come into contact with this husband sooner or later. Sigh...

Let's talk about it after people come. You can't not contact them, because they will think there is someone behind you or they are spies. People nowadays are very sensitive.

Su Xia took out the letter paper and quickly replied, answering all the questions in a proper manner and showing concern for her cheap husband.

I packed the letter and went to the post office.

"Comrade, please send a letter!"

Su Xia spent 20 cents and 2 yuan to buy a whole sheet of stamps available in the post office, one piece of each.

Su Xia thought about buying stamps once every six months or a year. She had never paid attention to this aspect and didn't know which one had a higher collection value.

Might as well collect them all.

Then start shopping mode.

Look at the state-owned restaurant, go in and look at the menu, the steamed buns are 3 cents each plus 1 or 2 tickets, noodles are 38 cents a bowl, 1 or 2 tickets, and the only dishes are cabbage vermicelli and fried potatoes, which are 0.21 cents and 3 or 2 tickets.

No wonder there are not many people here, the price is reasonable, but only a few people have the tickets.

I went to the grain bureau again, but there was only cornmeal, and still no one was selling it, so I could only buy 5 jin plus 5 jin of tickets.

Su Xia walked around, got a general idea of ​​the prices, and went straight to the department store.

I came here once before, and now I have plenty of time to take a leisurely stroll.

There are quite a lot of people after entering. There are three floors in total, and the first floor is basically for food and other side dishes.

I went to the first floor and looked at most of the daily necessities, such as cloth, clothes, toilet paper, bedding...

Then we went to the third floor, which was the most expensive floor. Su Xia asked about the prices one by one. A bicycle cost 120 yuan with an additional charge, a watch cost 100 to 120 yuan with an additional charge, a sewing machine cost 150 yuan with an additional charge, and a semiconductor cost 130 yuan with an additional charge.

Su Xia confirmed the price and went downstairs under the salesperson's impatient expression.

The angry salesperson thought it was another poor bastard.

Su Xia didn't know that people were cursing her behind her back, and it didn't matter even if she knew.

The salespeople of this era are all hired as hired guns and are not to be messed with.

I went to the 괗 building again and looked around. I found that there were very few types of children's toys, just picture books, some chess, and even football. I asked and they cost 22 yuan, which was really expensive.

Su Xia thought about buying some picture books, children's picture books, and word recognition books that Niu Niu didn't have... The child can slowly learn to read.

As for football and basketball, just take them directly from space.

I also exchanged all the tickets that the ticket seller gave me last time.

I went to the first floor and bought some supplementary foods and kelp. I wanted to buy more of them.

White Rabbit fruit candies, vermicelli and brown sugar. When Su Xia finally came out, her backpack was already full.

I spent a total of 30 yuan and all the tickets I saved have been used up.

After coming out, I found an empty alley and transferred the items in the space to the 누 space first. Then I walked around the streets of the county town alone.

Cinemas, photo studios, train stations, fire stations, police stations... everything that should be there in this era.

Su Xia satisfied her curiosity and went home.

I came out and saw that there was no one around, so I rode back. I really had to take out the bicycle, otherwise it would be very inconvenient.

When they arrived at Su Xia's house, the kid got tired from playing and fell asleep without waking her up.

Su Xia began to sort out the items she bought.

Toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrush, skin care products, toiletries...are all kept in the storage cabinet in the living room.

I went to the cabinet in the first bedroom on the east side and looked for brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, fruit candy, cakes, biscuits, mung bean cakes and various snacks. I only took apples, oranges, and tangerines. I didn't take strawberries and grapes because I had to be frugal.

I took out two grapefruits. They were on the price list of the department store, but they were not on sale now and were probably out of stock.

You don't need to wear all these. Niuniu can still wear them for another year. We'll talk about it after she grows taller.

The kitchen has been replenished with some food. You can take the rest and eat it now. It will go bad easily in hot weather, so it’s better to store it in your own space.

But no one came.

I went to the backyard to check on my vegetable garden. I had already started raising seedlings. Remember, plants like persimmons and peppers were all raised as seedlings.

Ask her when I go to Chen's mother's place to deliver the pension in the evening.

The firewood in the firewood shed has been almost consumed, but there is no need to worry about that. I have plenty of time, so I can just spend half a day on it every day.
