Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xu Manman followed her cousin to the yard to meet with other people.
Li Xiao looked at Xu Manman who was obviously going to go with him, and was stunned for a moment, then said to everyone, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he went to knock on the door of Liu Hua, who lived next door to Xu Manman. No one knew what the two of them talked about, and in the end, Liu Hua also followed.
Lin Zuxin followed suit and brought Xu Meili along, and it finally turned into a group activity.
Xu Manman's mouth twitched as she watched the whole process. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. She pinched her cousin's arm to hold back her laughter. If Chen Ming hadn't been wearing so many clothes in winter, his arm would have been purple.
Liu Hua took Xu Manman's arm and said, "Manman, I thought you weren't going."
“…Hehe, it’s so boring staying in the house.”
"That's right. I just said it was too boring to stay at home. Yesterday, Li Xiao asked me not to go out, saying that the road was too difficult to walk on. She also said that you wouldn't go out, so she asked me to find you to play with. Humph." After saying that, she rolled her eyes. What a cute little girl.
Xu Manman...Okay, okay, this is a good start for you today.
On the other side of Liu Hua was Xu Meili. Although she was still introverted and taciturn, she now participated in more group activities and would occasionally chat with them.
The girls were chattering in the middle, and the boys were protecting them in the middle, three in front and three behind, and were also talking about topics of interest.
A group of people walked towards the commune in a lively manner. They met many villagers on the way. Some of them came over to greet them. Most of them were young people in the village.
Unconsciously, their team grew larger and larger, and by the time they arrived at the commune, it had become a large team of twenty or thirty people.
However, everyone had their own tasks, and the team dispersed when they arrived at the commune.
Xu Manman’s purpose was very clear. She would go around and punch in, then go shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative and send letters and packages at the post office.
Because everyone thought it was a rare group activity and planned to go to the movies in the afternoon, they simply split up, finished what they needed to do in the morning, and gathered at the entrance of the cinema in the afternoon.
After signing in, Xu Manman went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. The consumption of condiments such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar has been quite high recently. The next time she comes will probably be after the Chinese New Year, so she needs to buy more.
Xu Manman saw sesame paste in the big jar in the corner where she was buying seasonings. No wonder she had never seen it before. It turned out to be placed so far away.
I bought 5 kilograms without hesitation and also bought a bottle of sesame oil.
There are also some pickles here that are not very recognizable in appearance. I have never seen them before. Could they be specially prepared for the Chinese New Year?
Seeing the aunties and grandmas around rushing to buy things, Xu Manman was not to be outdone. She grabbed a bottle of moldy tofu, Laba garlic, and kohlrabi. She didn't dare to buy the other things she didn't know for fear of stepping on a landmine.
After finally squeezing out from this side, she saw a group of people gathered over there. In order not to miss it, Xu Manman squeezed in again. It was a place selling dried seafood, and Xu Manman became excited when she saw this.
He fought his way through the crowd and snatched kelp, dried shrimp, dried shrimp and two salted fish.
After buying the shopping, I squeezed to the other side and bought a bunch of daily necessities. Finally, I bought everything and had to squeeze out again with great effort.
When she came out, Xu Manman's hair was disheveled, the buttons on her cotton coat were broken, her scarf was loose, and she looked very disheveled.
By this time, Chen Ming had already bought 5 kilograms of meat and 3 kilograms of spine, and the meat section was the hardest hit. So the image of the eldest cousin was only slightly better than Xu Manman's.
The two brothers smiled at each other while holding the things.
At this time, Xu Manman admired her own wisdom. There were many people coming to the commune today, and there were crowds of people at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, so she gave the meat ticket to her cousin in advance, and the two of them acted separately.
After packing up our things, we were about to head to the next destination when we saw a tractor carrying vegetables coming to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. Wow, the aunts with super fighting spirit rushed over without even waiting for the tractor to unload the vegetables.
Everyone is short of vegetables at this time, so Xu Manman hurried forward. Fortunately, the sales staff of the supply and marketing cooperative were experienced and started selling directly from the tractor.
Xu Manman harvested onions, carrots, Chinese cabbage, green peppers, and tomatoes. Influenced by the aunties around her, she bought at least 5 kilograms of each item. When she came out, her hands were so weak that Chen Ming hurried forward to take them.
This time they really bought everything they wanted, and they went to the post office carrying their things.
