After a pause, he realized that Chu Tian was not from here, so he leaned closer to him and whispered, "If you want, I can find a way to buy you the ticket."

He had space for Moutai, but remembering that he said he didn't need a ticket, he asked, "How much do you want to add?"

Upon hearing this, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative glanced at Chu Tian and thought that he was quite clear about the market. But then again, if he didn't know anything, he definitely wouldn't be sent out to purchase. After thinking about it, he didn't plan to add more and quoted Chu Tian the normal price.

"Add 50 cents to Moutai, 30 cents to canned meat and milk powder..."

Chu Tian nodded, "Then I need double portions of each of these!"

After a pause, he continued, "Ten more cans of meat and ten more cans of yellow peaches!"

"so much?"

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative was shocked. He thought, "You don't need so much to give as a gift, right?"

Chu Tian knew he had misunderstood, and explained with a faint smile, "I brought the canned meat and yellow peaches for someone else."

"If possible, I'd like to buy some more snacks and Erba sauce from Daohua Village. I bought too little yesterday. I finally came to Beijing, so I want to bring more back..."

In fact, it was because he didn’t get the tickets, otherwise he really wanted to bring more back. Before he went back in 1980, he didn’t know if he would have the chance to come again!

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative understood. "I see. Well, if you want more Moutai milk powder or something, I guess I can't help you. But if it's just snacks and Erba sauce, then that's nothing."

Except for the gift that he was going to take to Li Jianmin's house in the evening, Chu Tian left it outside. Not long after he left the supply and marketing cooperative, he put all the other things into the space.

When he was almost at the guesthouse, he thought for a moment and put the two cans of canned yellow peaches into his space, then took out two kilograms of oranges and two kilograms of apples from his space. He had heard from the director of the supply and marketing cooperative today that a batch of oranges and apples arrived at the cooperative yesterday morning, but they were all snatched away as soon as they arrived at the cooperative. Otherwise, carrying two kilograms of oranges or two kilograms of apples would have looked better than carrying two cans of canned yellow peaches.

When Chu Min came back, Chu Tian had already put all the things he had collected in the past two days into the space.

"Second brother, you came back early today."

"Well, didn't we agree to visit the Li family today?"

Chu Min smiled and put some Beijing specialties he bought today on the table. He glanced at the Maotai that was also on the table, blinked and asked.

“This Moutai?”

Chu Tian smiled and said, "I bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative here. I didn't keep the ones I bought in Sichuan Province before."

Chu Min nodded. It made sense. They didn't know they would meet Li Jianmin when they came. He walked to the package beside him, took out a set of clean clothes and put them on. He was about to take the dirty clothes to wash when he heard someone knocking on the door. The two looked at each other and walked to open the door.

Chu Tian stood up and grabbed his hand, smiling at his puzzled expression.

"Second brother, I'll go open it."

After he finished speaking, he strode forward and opened the door. What caught his eye was Li Jianmin's hand that was still held high. Chu Tian was surprised.

"Jianmin? Why are you here to pick us up?"

Li Jianmin grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, I was free and wanted to come pick you up."

Chu Tian nodded, stepped aside, motioned him to come in, and said, "Well, you have to wait a moment while I change my clothes."

"Brother Min."

Li Jianmin greeted Chu Min before walking into the house. He sat on a chair and looked at the only two-meter-wide and three-meter-long kang in the house. He frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, Brother Min, why are you staying in this guesthouse? The guesthouses in the city are much better than this one."

Chu Tian chuckled as he changed his clothes, "We didn't choose this. It was reserved for us by the people at the labor camp outside Beijing."

Li Jianmin was stunned. "Ah? Why would they order it for you? Are you sending them something this time?"

Chu Min poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Jianmin, explaining with a smile, "We were going to Sichuan Province to deliver goods, and came to Beijing to pick someone up."

"Thank you, Brother Min."

Li Jianmin quickly took the teacup, took a sip, and asked in confusion, "Pick someone up? Why not let them take the train directly? Why drive to pick them up instead? Even if you pick them up now and start heading back, it'll be cold on the road. How can a cloak on the outside of the truck keep them warm?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Min looked at him with a smile but no words.

After a while, Li Jianmin suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Ah, are they taking the people from the labor camp to Xinjiang?"

Chu Min nodded and said, "Hmm..."

Li Jianmin put down his teacup and touched his chin. "No wonder, no wonder the labor camp gave you accommodation, and no wonder you have to take a truck back to Xinjiang..."

Chu Tian buttoned his coat, picked up the military coat beside the kang and put it on, then walked forward and picked up the four net bags on the table, motioning, "Okay, stop blaming me, let's go?"

"Brother-in-law..."

Li Jianmin quickly stood up. He looked at the bag in Chu Tian's hand and stood still.

Chu Tian looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

“····”

Li Jianmin looked at Chu Tian helplessly.

Chu Min tilted his head and smiled.

Li Jianmin sighed, "Brother-in-law, my home is your home, you don't need to bring so many things..."

Chu Tian wondered what was going on. He looked at Li Jianmin disapprovingly, "How can that be the same? If we met often, I certainly wouldn't bring anything every time. But this is the first time I'm officially meeting your parents. How can I look empty-handed?"

"Can····"

Chu Tian interrupted him before he could say anything else and continued, "Even if you're thinking about Xiu Li, you can't persuade me to come empty-handed!"

Li Jianmin opened his mouth and said helplessly, "But, this is too much, right?"

"A lot?"

Chu Tian looked down at the four bags in his hands. There were two bottles of Moutai, two bags of milk powder, two cans of malted milk, two cans of canned meat, and two kilograms of apples and oranges.

Li Jianmin nodded. "Duo, if you bring these to my house and outsiders see them, they will probably think you are trying to bribe my father..."

“·····”

No, Chu Tian wanted to say, "You're still offering bribes for just this little? In Wushi, you can't even bribe government officials with this little. Could it be that the officials in Beijing have lower standards than those in Wushi?"

Just looking at Li Jianmin's serious eyes, Chu Tian thought about it and agreed with him, "Okay, then I'll take down two."

As he said that, he took down two cans of meat and two bags of milk powder.

Li Jianmin saw that he had only taken two kinds and felt that it was still not enough, so he spoke again, "Brother-in-law, that..."

Chu Tian glared at him and said, "Alright, if you take it again, we won't go."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house.

“····”

Seeing that his elder brother-in-law was a little unhappy, Li Jianmin touched his nose awkwardly, but in the end he did not express any more opinions.

Chu Min stepped forward, smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, let's go."

Li Jianmin glanced at Chu Min, nodded, and followed him out.
