"Why so many?"
The three of them stared at the four large packages in amazement. After a long moment, they looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Although the package was not big, it was bulging and you could tell at a glance that a lot of things were stuffed into it.
Three are from Haicheng and one is from Beijing.
"From Beijing? Zuo Zuo, do you have any relatives or friends in Beijing?"
The recipient was Gu Zuozuo, so it was sent to her. Two of the four packages were hers. She could tell at a glance that the one from Haicheng was sent to her by Meng's father and Meng's mother, but she really didn't know who sent the one from Jingshi.
"Oh, and here are your three letters."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Luo Jing slapped his forehead, took a thick stack of envelopes from the side, took out three of them and handed them to the three people.
Gu Zuozuo looked at the envelope handed to her and was a little surprised. There was even an envelope for her?
"Jingshi Military District?"
After reading it over and over again, I confirmed that the recipient was me, the mailing address was indeed from the army, and even the stamps were specially provided by the army.
Meng Tian and the others were also curious, but they didn't ask too many questions. They just quietly put the envelope away and lay there chatting with Luo Jing with a playful smile.
"Sister Luo, here's some dried meat for you. It's made from venison and it's delicious."
As he spoke, Gu Zuozuo took out an oil-paper bag from his bag and handed it to Luo Jing at the counter.
Luo Jing was surprised for a moment, but didn't hesitate to put it away.
"Okay, the kids at home haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I won't be polite."
After mailing out the package and envelope that had been prepared long ago, the three of them left the package with Luo Jing first, as they still needed to buy some things.
Luo Jing was very cheerful. He patted his chest and said that he would take good care of it and reassured them.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of it for you. Go buy what you need first. If you can't find what you need when you come back, I'll ask Liangzi to come back and give it to you."
After Gu Zuozuo and the other two expressed their gratitude, they turned around and left with peace of mind.
The streets were filled with people wearing gray and black coats. From time to time, a man in green military uniform would pass by on a 28-inch bicycle. Every time the clear bell rang, it would attract countless envious eyes.
Gu Zuozuo and the other two looked around as they walked, and occasionally lowered their heads to say a few words.
The last time I got off the train station, I was quite tired and didn’t have the energy to look around this small county town. Now that I look closely, it is really shabby compared to big cities.
Two-story buildings are rare, most of them are bungalows, with walls covered with red slogans, full of a sense of age.
The bicycle passed by, leaving behind a cloud of dust, causing the people following behind to curse inwardly.
As we walked and looked around, we soon arrived at the largest and only supply and marketing cooperative in the county.
The eight big red characters "Develop the economy, ensure supply" are clearly posted on both sides of the door, and many people are coming and going at the door.
As you walk through the door, you will see a tall counter filled with goods arranged in different categories.
The neatly dressed salesperson was standing at the counter, busy back and forth, with shelves containing bills flying all over his head.
The three of them walked and looked, and finally stopped at the daily necessities area.
"Comrade, bring two thermoses and three hot water bottles."
The woman at the counter looked at the three of them in surprise, then turned and took out what they wanted from the shelf.
"A thermos bottle costs ten yuan, four industrial tickets, a hot water bag costs three yuan, two industrial tickets, a total of twenty-nine yuan, ten industrial tickets."
Gu Zuozuo didn't hesitate and took out the money directly. Meng Tian quickly took out ten industrial tickets, met Gu Zuozuo's eyes, and smiled proudly.
What a joke! She had already prepared to pay for the tickets. If Zuo Zuo hadn't been so fast, she would have even paid. When she came, her father had given her a lot of money and tickets, just to let her buy things for the other two little sisters.
Qi Meng took back the money he had taken out, without saying a word, and looked at the other two with a smile.
It has been like this since they were young, and most of the things the three of them have are the same.
Because the three families buy things for the three girls together, over time they all feel like they have three daughters.
"Comrade, take two pounds of milk candy, two pounds of crispy candy, and two pounds of coconut candy."
Gu Zuozuo looked at the dazzling array of candies behind the counter and her heart instantly blossomed with joy.
The sugar she brought from Haicheng was almost finished during the autumn harvest, and the remaining few pounds were bought by the system. She had been without sugar for several days.
Meng Tian and her boyfriend held their foreheads helplessly, speechless about this best friend who was usually serious and cold, but lost all her rationality when she saw sugar.
"I'm really afraid that she'll be coaxed away by some man with a few bags of candy."
Qi Meng chuckled, it’s not impossible.
After pulling Tang Chi away, the three of them came to the fabric counter and were dumbfounded by the colorful fabrics at the back.
How to choose this?
The lady behind the counter almost laughed out loud when she saw the three little girls glaring at Bu with such bitter and resentful looks on their faces.
"What kind of cloth do you want to buy?"
Gu Zuozuo looked uncertainly at the fabrics that were either bright red or green or gray, black and white, and was unsure what to say.
"We want to buy fabrics for making cotton-padded jackets and quilts..."
The eldest sister suddenly realized and turned around to pull out some fabrics.
"This is the new fabric this year. The floral one can be used to make a cotton-padded jacket, and the gray one can be used to make a quilt."
The three of them looked at it for a long time, and finally listened to the eldest sister and tore off a few pieces of gray cloth to make quilts. As for the floral ones to make cotton-padded jackets, they decided to forget it because the patterns were really tacky.
"Go check it out!"
Three people who were buying glutinous rice noodles were almost knocked down by the crowd.
Gu Zuozuo stretched out his straight legs to hold Qi Meng, and used his other arm to protect Meng Tian, keeping the two of them by his side, then turned around and looked outside.
