After eating, the two went directly to the commune supply and marketing cooperative.
Because this place is very close to the commune, the two of them had agreed when they came that after buying things, they would go directly to the post office to send them. Xu Manman also took a bag to put the things in.
Xu Manman really wanted to let her family taste the local honey she had just bought as soon as possible, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few bottles.
Worried that it would be difficult to package, Xu Manman also bought a large soup spoon. She originally wanted to buy the one with a funnel, but the supply and marketing cooperative didn't sell it.
The two of them first found an empty alley and divided the work to pack the things.
Chen Ming is responsible for packaging the honey, and Xu Manman is responsible for packing other dry goods.
Each family received a cured chicken, a cured rabbit, 1 jin of honey, 2.5 jin of tea leaves, 4 jin of mushrooms and dried vegetables, 1 jin of red dates, 2.5 jin of sweet potato flour, and 1 jin of walnuts.
Wrap the glass bottle in the middle with fluffy and anti-collision dried vegetables, and wrap the rest on the outside. Finally, a large package weighing 15 pounds is ready.
Xu Manman's initial plan was to divide the money into five parts, send one to her family, and keep one for herself.
When I was packing the things at the end, I thought about it and decided to just send them all and then they could return them and sell them later.
They took the package to the post office and asked the clerk to send the letter and package out. They also took out the packages that had been accumulated over the past few days. Generally speaking, they sent out a lot and got back a lot.
Back to the market, I did another round of shopping, but this time I was eating all the food myself, so I didn’t buy as much as before.
Xu Manman bought some more sweet potato flour, which is great for eating directly or making dishes or dumplings.
When they walked back, they also bought a lot of cooked snacks. Although they could make them themselves, the ones sold outside always had a different flavor.
Although she was not hungry, Xu Manman still pulled Chen Ming to the Yuanxiao cooking stall and ordered a bowl of Yuanxiao for each of them.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this is essential.
The Yuanxiao in the north is different from the glutinous rice balls in the south. The glutinous rice balls in the south are wrapped, while the Yuanxiao in the north are rolled. The taste is a little different, but both are delicious.
But I couldn't finish half of it, so my cousin had to eat the rest.
After noon, the market gradually dispersed.
We bought everything we wanted to buy. Although we spent a lot of money at the post office, when we came out, our two backpacks were still full. We could only carry the packages we got from the post office in our hands.
Chen Ming now has money in his hands. He hasn't used up the money his cousin gave him before, but he has basically used up all the bills.
So throughout the whole day, he followed his cousin obediently, carrying a backpack. Xu Manman was responsible for charging into battle, and he was responsible for carrying the vegetables and bags.
In the past, when he went to the commune and accompanied his cousin to the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw her lavish spending. Today's two rounds of large purchases made him see how powerful his cousin really was.

Xu Manman said: This is just a small matter, after all, it is the environment that constrains her.
Chen Ming: I am a cousin who lives off my cousin, it’s so nice!

Because it ended early, the bored educated youth had the option of watching a movie.
Xu Manman.....
Well, the entertainment life in the commune is just so monotonous.
After watching the movie, the group went home satisfied.
Back to the educated youth point,
"Ding!", 50 Great Unity cards were signed in. Although it cannot be compared with the first day of the 30th month, it is already very generous.
As long as Xu Manman has done too much exercise that day, she doesn't want to bother with cooking.
Although they were not exhausted today, they were still quite physically exhausted, so in the evening the two siblings had the cooked food they bought at the market.
The taste was quite normal, nothing that amazed her like the stew.
It was a pity that she didn't bring a lunch box, otherwise she would have packed some stew to bring back.
Celebrating a festival requires a sense of ritual, how can we just celebrate it casually? At night, Xu Manman opened the magical wooden door again and went to Taipei City.
She had experience now. There were not many people on the street at night, so she went straight to Songjiang, the busiest place at night.
Although it is not as deafening as the square dance performed by groups of uncles and aunts in the previous life, it is still quite lively here.
The red paper and lanterns decorated on the ice sculptures make the festive atmosphere even more intense.
There are people skating on the ice, and some are walking and admiring the ice sculptures. There are also some small vendors on the periphery, and you can see militiamen on duty nearby.
This time, Xu Manman did not just watch from the shore like last time, but walked forward and immersed herself in the excitement.
She bought a roasted sweet potato and ate it while walking. Everyone was having their own fun and no one paid too much attention to her.
