After she and Fan Guizhen bought what they needed in the provincial capital, they bought tickets and headed back together.

After walking for about three days, we finally arrived at Qianjin Village.

The pickup truck they hired also brought their purchases to the village.

Now, the small mountain village was really in an uproar.

Think about it, in the early 1980s, my aunt and my sister-in-law went to the provincial capital and brought with them two black TVs, a washing machine, and a lot of miscellaneous gadgets.

Liu Yu even bought a tape recorder.

This thing is great, you can put the tape into it and listen to the songs.

There were not many digital electronic products in this era, so having a tape recorder was great.

Don't expect the sound quality to be guaranteed. It would be great if it could play opera tapes, song tapes, and yes, crosstalk tapes.

Liu Yu not only bought a tape recorder, but also bought some tapes to sell together with the tape recorder.

There are singing and also the crosstalk mentioned earlier.

It was recorded by two crosstalk masters, and it also includes the applause of the audience recorded live.

I don't know where it was recorded.

Liu Yuzhi knew that Yu Qiong was an old lady who liked to listen to opera tapes, so she bought some.

Although the opera sounds like a moaning tune, the melody is very long.

But if you savor it slowly, you will find that the things left by our ancestors are actually worth savoring.

Moreover, Liu Yu remembered that someone also mentioned opera when writing online articles, such as sheng, dan, jing, mo, and chou.

Because of the different regions, the operas have different accents, which are all related to the local dialect.

To put it simply, this opera has strong regional characteristics and reflects the culture of a certain era.

Moreover, the connotations expressed by opera are mostly related to the spiritual core.

Loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, and trustworthiness are inseparable from these things.

Liu Yu feels that many people have lost these spiritual cores in later times.

Therefore, listening to more operas can enrich your spiritual world.

She also put the tape recorder in the car.

Fan Guizhen was very envious of her way of spending money.

Because of the different spiritual core of the times, Fan Guizhen was born into a poor family and her family conditions were not that good.

She also wanted to help her parents' family as much as possible.

After all, she couldn't ignore them, as she had younger brothers and sisters at home who needed to go to school.

Liu Yu must be aware of Fan Guizhen's situation.

When the two arrived at Qianjin Village, they unexpectedly saw new guests in the village.

Who are they?

Liu Yu asked the villagers to help carry his belongings home.

The ones who helped carry the things were a few of her cousins who lived in the same village, but they were not very close.

One is Liu Zhi and the other is Liu Chun.

Liu Chun is young and lively. He said to Liu Yuyu:

"Sister Xiaoyu, when I passed by your house this morning, I seemed to see Auntie talking to someone."

"You mean I have guests?"

"That's about right."

"Who is it?"

“I don’t know.”

It is the corn harvest season recently, and every household has harvested a lot of corn.

This corn can be used to pay the public tax, or kept for one's own use.

Generally, old corn is rarely eaten.

At that time, families short of food would grind corn kernels into powder and make corn paste to satisfy their hunger.

But with the bumper grain harvest, who would still eat corn paste that is full of lumps, tastes rough, and is difficult to swallow?

So cornmeal is usually mixed with pig feed and fed to pigs.

Pigs love to eat pig food mixed with cornmeal.

Just pour it into the trough and enjoy it.
