How good is Chapter 16?
This is biased.
But Yi Chichi didn't think about arguing with them. Since their thinking patterns are different, their perspectives on the problem will naturally be different.
This is the gap created by the times.
There is no way to reconcile.
So, she chose to remain silent and not comment.
Wang Nan felt that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on what it was. After a long pause, he uttered, "Both of them were wrong."
The implication is: the mistakes cannot all be blamed on the educated youth.
"You women must be speaking for women, not for Lin who took the initiative to provoke..."
"Shut up!"
Bai Chen, who knew Wu Yongfei very well, saw that he was about to launch a group attack and stopped him decisively.
"Don't discuss other people's business."
Wu Yongfei,...he didn't seem to say anything.
Why is Brother Bai so angry?
"I……"
"Stop talking about you and me, talk less and walk more."
Bai Chen was determined not to give him the opportunity to offend the group by speaking without restraint. Female comrades like Wang Nan were not to be feared.
The aunties in the village were very scary! With a swing of their arms, even strong men like Uncle Da Niu had to kneel on the washboard. The young men with thin arms and legs really couldn't bear it.
Wu Yongfei, who was interrupted twice in a row, hesitated for a long time and finally shut up under Bai Chen's murderous gaze.
Without him to attract hatred, the topic returned to normal.
The aunts really gossip a lot, and Yi Chichi is amazed to hear them talk about all the gossip in the neighborhood.
As they were talking, they brought up the story of an uncle and his sister-in-law getting together.
Yi Chichi and the others were listening attentively when Ge Sujuan suddenly said, "This happened in my hometown too, but it wasn't the uncle and his sister-in-law, but the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law."
Boy, this is even more outrageous.
"Then what?"
Aunt Ma and the others' eyes lit up, and Bai Chen and the others' ears perked up.
Even Uncle Liu's whipping action slowed down.
"And then."
Ge Sujuan looked disdainful and said, "Then just go on with your life."
"Can you survive this?"
Yi Chichi felt that she had broadened her horizons. In her previous life, she was not exposed to such things.
The most extreme case is the marriage between two families, where the husband and wife play their own games for the common interests.
Once interests are involved, we must unite against the outside world.
There are also illegitimate sons and daughters.
But father-in-law and daughter-in-law...
Really not.
To use the words in the circle, it is just too tasteless.
As long as you have money, there are plenty of young and beautiful girls, so there is no need to eat grass near your home.
"That family is shameless."
Ge Sujuan's tone was somewhat angry. Zhou Qiuyu tried to hold back, but still couldn't help wondering, "No one reported it?"
"That's what the old man is in charge of."
Yi Chichi and the others figured it out, no wonder no one reported it.
If you really report it, you will be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
When it comes to their own interests, no one will take risks for irrelevant people.
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Niu got to the point, "Did you give birth to a baby?"
"Yes."
The pregnant young wife sitting in the carriage couldn't hold back any longer and asked curiously, "Whose child is it? If it's my father-in-law's, should the baby call me grandpa or daddy?"
This was a good question and Ge Sujuan was stunned.
She thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know who is calling grandpa."
This is difficult to comment.
Everyone really didn't know what to say, so they could only change the subject.
"The Wen family kid is coming back."
I don’t know. This melon is not worth eating.
Yi Chichi lost interest in eating the melon and started to look at the scenery.
But the conversation between Aunt Ma and the others still penetrated into his ears.
Before she even arrived at the commune, she had heard everything about the boy from the Wen family.
In the words of Aunt Ma and others, this young man from the Wen family is a young talent in the village.
He joined the army in 1966, and in less than five years, he climbed from a small soldier to the rank of cadre.
It is said that he is also a battalion commander.
Now, I am only 23 years old.
In non-war times, people of this age are the elite among the elites no matter what era.
But this is not the point. The point is that Aunt Ma and the others said that the boy from the Wen family is good-looking.
“How beautiful is it??
Yi Chichi, who is more or less obsessed with looks, became curious about the appearance of the boy from the Wen family.
"It's hard to say, but he's good-looking. The girls and wives in the village all like to watch him, and we like to watch him too."
This description was quite abstract, so abstract that Yi Chichi and the others had no way of imagining what this person looked like.
So, let's stop talking about this topic.
We arrived at the commune while chatting and laughing.
After my aunt and her friends arrived at the commune, they parted ways with Yi Chichi and his friends.
Upon learning that they were going to the county town, Uncle Liu lit up a pipe and took a puff, and the spicy and pungent smell hit his nose.
But he looked like he was enjoying it, squinting his eyes and admonishing, "Remember to come back early, we'll be back at three o'clock."
"Okay, sir. We will meet here on time."
Bai Chen replied politely and took Yi Chichi and the others to the station.
To get to the county, one needs to take a bus, and they were lucky enough to catch a bus that was about to depart.
There is nothing wrong with it except that there are so many people that there is no place to stand.
The car swayed slowly all the way towards the county town.
We arrived at our destination at around nine in the morning.
As the car door opened, fresh air blew in their faces, and Yi Chichi and the others who got out of the car felt like they were alive again.
They took a deep breath of fresh air before starting to discuss where to go.
"Let's go to the department store first."
Wang Nan was the first to respond, and Yi was puzzled, "There is a department store in the county?"
Supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, and Friendship Stores are all products of the planned economy era.
There is not much difference between a supply and marketing cooperative and a department store, except that there are more types of goods and the area occupied is larger.
Ordinary people could not enter the Friendship Store in a short period of time, and Yi had no idea what to do.
I'm interested in visiting the department store.
"One."
Then Wang Nan asked them, "Are you going?"
"go."
So, the group of nine people headed towards the department store like wild horses.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the department store standing near the Bao'an County Government.
Bao'an County has a long history and cultural context. There are many factories and Russian-style buildings in the county.
In addition, there is a railway.
According to Bai Chen, the railway was built between 1910 and 1933.
The post office that Yi Chichi wanted to go to was in Building 32, Youdian Road, not far from the department store.
The post office, like the department store and the county government, is a landmark building and is easy to find.
"Shall we go shopping separately or together?"
Wang Nan asked after arriving at the department store.
Yi Chichi didn't care, but Wang Nan and the others wanted to go shopping on their own.
So, after agreeing to meet at the door, the group dispersed and went to the areas they wanted to go.
Yi Chichi walked around the Grand View Garden like Granny Liu, and found that the department stores of this era were a bit like supermarkets in later generations.
If we have to say the difference, it is probably that department stores not only sell supplementary food, cultural supplies, daily necessities and the like, but also agricultural products.
Supermarkets in later generations no longer sell agricultural products.
To buy agricultural supplies, you need to go to a special grain and seed store or tool store.
After figuring out the categories of goods sold in each area, Yi Chichi went straight to the clothing and fabric area.
Pants Freedom, here she comes! (End of this chapter)
