The next day!
The family compound today is very different from before. There are no more people gathering to gossip and chat. Everyone just walks by in a hurry, at most saying hello to someone they know before going home!
Ye Wanying was planning to go to the market, intending to take her son with her, but she changed her mind after remembering what the man had said before he left last night.
When Ye Wanying and her son arrived at the old political commissar's house, the elderly couple were having breakfast with their grandson.
"Oh, Yingying's here? Have you eaten? If not, have something to eat here!" Grandma Yu got up and went forward to greet her.
"Good morning, Auntie. Good morning, Uncle Yu. We've already eaten. I was just about to go to the market, and it's not very convenient to take the kids with me, so I thought I'd bring them to your house!"
At this moment, Tuanzi politely greeted the two elderly people, saying, "Grandpa...Grandma...Good morning...Good morning, brother!"
Yu Tong ran towards Tuanzi with a freshly fried dough stick in her hand: "Little brother, have some fried dough sticks! Grandma fried them, they're so delicious!"
This guy never refuses food!
"Thank you... Brother..." He took the fried dough stick from Yu Tong's hand and started eating it with gusto!
Seeing how well the two got along, Ye Wanying was naturally happy.
Grandma Yu laughed too, she hadn't seen her grandson so happy in a long time: "Alright, you can leave your things with me without worry!" she said to Ye Wanying.
"Okay, I'll be going now then, so I can come back soon. Thank you, Auntie!"
"Why are you being so polite with your aunt? Why don't you have some fried dough sticks before you go?" Grandma Yu said, reaching for the fried dough sticks on the table.
Ye Wanying quickly said, "Auntie, I really have already eaten!"
Seeing that Ye Wanying wasn't lying, Grandma Yu stopped and said, "Alright, alright, save it for when you come back!"
"Okay!" Ye Wanying didn't refuse this time either!
However, before leaving, the old political commissar, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Remember to come back early, and don't wander around outside!"
His tone was harsh, but Ye Wanying could easily tell that the old man was concerned about her.
After all, the level four alarm sounded for so long last night, there was no way the old political commissar couldn't have missed it!
"Uncle Yu, I know, I'll be back soon!"
............
It took about half an hour to get to the market by bicycle!
Sure enough, the market was much quieter today!
I first went to the fabric store and bought some fabric. Then I went to the post office and took out several academic papers on medicine that I had written in my spare time, ready to send them to the newspaper!
In fact, almost everyone in later generations knows some of this everyday knowledge, so we've managed to find a loophole!
If the newspaper accepts the article, I should be able to get a fee; if they don't, I can just consider it a benefit to the people and I won't lose anything!
After sending the package, Ye Wanying planned to go back. On the way, she bought some daily necessities.
Seeing a vendor selling candied hawthorns, Ye Wanying's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pedaled the pedals: "Candied hawthorns, wait a minute!"
At that time, the candied hawthorn was not as delicious as the candied hawthorn of later generations. It was made with the most common wild fruits from the mountains and drizzled with a layer of melted brown sugar on the surface!
But, who told Queen Ye to want to eat right now?
Finally, I caught up with the candied hawthorn vendor: "Boss, how much is a skewer?"
"Two cents for the big one, three cents for the small one!"
"Okay, give me ten skewers!" Ye Wanying paid two yuan very readily, and the candied hawthorn vendor quickly pulled out ten skewers, put them in his pocket, and handed them to her.
