She went to the post office and picked up the package. It was quite large, weighing at least ten pounds. As soon as she got it, she could smell the fishy smell of seafood.
The man at the post office counter asked, "Comrade, are you selling dried seafood here?"
Su He nodded: "So they received the package in my name, and sent it to me with the goods from several families together! I heard they said there were some dried seafood, but I don't know what they are specifically!"
The person who asked this must have wanted to buy some to take back, but he couldn't open them and sell them in front of everyone at the post office. Even if he wanted to sell them, he had to find another place.
She left a message for herself: "Comrade, how about you give me your contact information? If I see that there is dried seafood in it, I can send some back to you?"
The man took a slip of paper, wrote his name, thought for a moment, crumpled it up, and threw it away. He said, "Comrade, my last name is Fang. I live in the alley behind, on the first row, the first house. It's easy to find. If you have any questions, just come to my house. Someone is home."
Su He remembered this person's address.
She nodded and walked out with the package.
I heard from Mrs. Yuan that the superior that Lam Ka-tung contacted should be related to the post office, but they have never found out the truth, and only found the corrupt officials in the family quarters.
Su He thought, I can't be so unlucky, how could I run into an enemy spy just by coming to the post office?
Never mind for now. She remembered the address and would tell Mrs. Yuan when she got back, and let someone else keep an eye on it.
When we got to the supply and marketing cooperative, we found that there were obviously many more things there than in town. As long as we had a ticket, we could buy basically all kinds of daily necessities.
She has the tickets. Yes, she finally remembered to buy the White Rabbit milk candy, a standard of the era, for the children.
After buying the White Rabbit milk candy, she also bought shrimp cakes, which were not available in the town's supply and marketing cooperative. Egg cakes can be made at home with eggs, milk powder and sugar, but she didn't buy them.
She also bought three pounds of long-lasting peach cakes and glutinous rice sticks, one pound of open-mouthed smiles, and one pound of small sesame seeds, for a total of eight pounds of snacks. She figured the three children would enjoy them for a while.
After buying these, she also took a look at the children's gloves and hats. Now she only had food coupons and sugar coupons, and there was no industrial coupons at all, so she pretended to stand there looking at things, but actually opened the Star Mall in her mind and searched for the same items.
She found hats and gloves for the three children to wear, and black canvas shoes that were an early version of the cotton shoes.
These shoes are high-tops, similar to canvas shoes, but with a thin layer of cotton lining and quilting on the upper, only available in black.
Su He quickly ordered two pairs of shoes, which were sizes suitable for adults. These cotton shoes are thin, so they are just right for wearing at this time of year. If it gets even colder, she will have to wear the sheepskin cotton shoes made by her mother-in-law.
She also went to buy paper and pens for the children to write with. She bought a lot of each item, ten notebooks and a hundred pencils at once. She didn't need industrial tickets to buy these, only cash. A notebook cost eight cents and a pencil cost one cent. It was really too cheap.
She bought so many notebooks and pens, and only spent 9 yuan.
After buying these, she felt that it was enough and she had to go back quickly so as not to worry her family. She also had to go to the town to buy some vegetables.
She rode her bike back to town and bought some cabbage and radishes from a family there. She put them in snakeskin bags and tied them to the back seat of her bike. There were four full bags, and on top of them were the packages she had brought back and the things she had bought.
Su He pushed the cart back home. Teacher Wu helped unload the things. "Oh, this trip was not easy. There are so many cabbages that we can eat them for a long time."
Da Xiao: "Mom, are you tired? Just rest at home. I'll help you return the bicycle!"
My son: "Brother, you will break the car!"
Daqi: "Mom, please believe me. I'll find someone to help me push it, not just myself."
Oh wow, this little boss actually knows how to find people to do the work!
Su He asked: "Who are you looking for to help you?"
Daqi: "I'm looking for Ding Daliang to help me with the work!"
"Didn't that kid fight with you before? Are you playing with him now?"
Daqi: "He is my little brother now!"
Su He looked at him questioningly, but before he could say anything, Da Xiao said, "Because I have the best mom in the world! Last time I had a fight with him, he came to me to apologize and even envied me for having a mom like you. Whenever I got into a fight, she stood by me!"
Su He wanted to laugh: That's it? Is that all?
Su He: "Forget it, it's getting dark early and it's a bit cold outside. I'll send the car quickly and come back to show you the things. Oh my God, I not only bought you food, but also bought other things!"
