The last time Cao Zhaodi pulled her braid, it hurt her and left her with a psychological trauma.
Now when I see a hairpin that can be used to put up my hair, I can’t take back the thoughts that pop up in my mind.
The two of them held hands the whole time, and Hu Lin was trying hard to squeeze forward. The supply and marketing cooperative was not big, there were many people, it was hot, and there was a smell of sweat.
She just wanted to finish her shopping and leave.
So she noticed this brief pause immediately.
Looking back, I saw Li Aihua looking away.
Hu Lin looked in the direction Li Aihua had looked before and saw an extremely ordinary wooden hairpin.
The hairpin has no decoration at all, it is polished smooth all over, with a mixture of red and yellow colors, and is made of rosewood.
It looks like a finished product made of rosewood sapwood, and the price tag is nine cents.
This kind of thing must be a symbol of the old times, so it is extremely cheap.
"Do you want it?" Hu Lin asked Li Aihua. Before Li Aihua could answer, he continued, "Then buy it back."
"I don't really want it that much." Li Aihua took Hu Lin to buy vegetables.
The whole family only had one dollar, and my daughter only chose practical things and didn't buy anything for herself. How could she be so selfish?
This time it was Hu Lin's turn to stand still. "I don't really want it, I just had this thought."
Li Aihua was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter to interpret her meaning in this way.
"Consider it my gift to you, congratulations on your new life." Hu Lin looked at Li Aihua and said slowly.
Being treated so cherished by her daughter, Li Aihua's eyes turned red and tears welled up.
When the people around them saw Li Aihua's look, they all turned their gazes, which were originally looking for something they liked, towards this side.
"Don't cry." Hu Lin shouted hurriedly when he saw Li Aihua's tearful face.
She is the most annoying when she cries.
Li Aihua raised her hand and wiped her eyes randomly, wiping away her tears, and said in a sobbing voice: "I didn't cry."
Hu Lin looked at the remaining tears around Li Aihua's eyes and did not pursue the matter further.
"Take off the hairpin."
Li Aihua was moved but still a little hesitant.
If she bought a hairpin, she would have a few cents left. How many vegetables could she buy with that?
My daughter has had enough of eating wild vegetables.
Seeing that Li Aihua was still hesitating, Hu Lin urged, "Hurry up!"
I've already told her I'd buy it for her and given her a reason, so why is she still hesitating?
She is always dissatisfied with these little things.
Hearing her daughter's urging, Li Aihua took off the hairpin.
Then the two of them went to get some potatoes and squash that could be stored.
Hu Lin was envious of the green leafy vegetables, but considering that the vegetables could not be stored for long, he had to give up.
Buy potatoes and squash and keep them for a long time. They can satisfy your thirst and cravings after eating them.
After getting their things, they went to the counter to pay.
When they paid the bill, both of them were dumbfounded.
The salesperson asked them to give tickets!
They don’t have this thing!
Hu Lin and Li Aihua had never bought anything in this new era store, so this was their first time.
"Do you have a ticket? If not, just pay more." The salesperson's originally cold attitude suddenly turned cold when he saw the two people in a daze.
Especially when there are so many people queuing behind, the mother and daughter in front of me, wearing clothes full of patches, are still wasting time.
Li Aihua started to panic when she heard the salesperson's somewhat bad tone.
"We didn't bring that much money. You can take the excess money from the eggs and vegetables." Hu Lin, who was not even as tall as the counter, spoke.
When the salesperson heard the childish voice, he looked impatiently at Li Aihua, who had a haggard face, a slightly hunched body, but was in good spirits, for confirmation.
Li Aihua nodded quickly, "Just do as my daughter says."
The salesperson glared at Li Aihua, who didn't know the rules, and started taking things out.
At the same time, he was secretly criticizing the woman in front of him.
She had never seen an adult who listened to his daughter. This adult was so spineless that he let the child be the boss.
The salesperson took out ten eggs, potatoes, and squash, and then took the one dollar that Li Aihua had placed on the counter.
The salesperson then dismissed the two with a disdainful "Let's go", and the people waiting to check out behind them hurriedly put their purchases on the counter to settle the bill, while also reaching into their pockets to take out a few tickets and money.
Li Aihua quickly made room for the people behind her, then quickly put the things they bought into a small backpack and left with Hu Lin.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Hu Lin finally opened his nose and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.
It’s not like in the supply and marketing cooperative, where you take a breath and hold it for a while before breathing again.
But she was suffocated to death.
After a pause, Hu Lin asked, "How much did she take out?"
Li Aihua reported what she had just seen.
When Hu Lin heard this, he was speechless for a moment.
Without tickets, they actually gave 34 cents more!
Now, there are no more potatoes and squash to satisfy my craving.
The potatoes are as big as Li Aihua’s palm, and the squash are as big as her two fists!
What a pity!
Sure enough, nowadays, tickets are king.
"Bring out the clock."
Li Aihua gave the clock to Hu Lin in confusion.
Hu Lin looked at the time displayed on the wall clock behind the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, and manually adjusted the clock in his hand.
Li Aihua watched Hu Lin fiddling with the alarm clock and looked him over.
The daughter held the round army green belly in her small hands. Her hands were not big enough and it seemed that she could not hold it, but the daughter held it very steadily.
There are two silver ears on the alarm clock, with a large arc buckle on the ears for easy hanging, and two small iron rods with rounded front ends extending from the base.
