"Jingjing, should we buy a TV?"
Zhou Lanping asked Liu Liang, why didn't they have a TV at home? They did have one before, but Liu Zongye moved away. Now, who doesn't have a TV at home? Even if they can't afford a color or black and white one, they should have one.
"Let's go back to the county to buy it tomorrow." Liu Jing actually wanted to buy it now, and it just so happened that she could watch the Spring Festival Gala, although the future Spring Festival Gala was indeed a bit boring.
But it is different now. The greatest joy for people during the Chinese New Year may be watching the Spring Festival Gala. Every time at eight o'clock, the whole family sits in front of the TV and watches the Spring Festival Gala. It is this gala that brings people happiness for the whole year.
Although Liu Liang didn't really want to watch TV, she would occasionally pay attention to some news.
"Okay." Zhou Lanping thought about the passbook in her hand. She was not afraid of buying anything now.
Not for comparison, but every home should have one.
This year, on New Year's Eve, Liu Liang and Zhou Lanping still celebrated the holiday in their rental house. There weren't many dishes, nor any delicacies from land or sea, just two plates of dumplings, but both mother and daughter were very satisfied with the meal.
Liu Jing woke up early the next morning. In the small kitchen, she heated up a few of the buns she had bought, mixed them with some pickled vegetables, and ate them.
After putting away the pots, pans and seasonings, Liu Jing cleaned the house again. No matter whether the owner would renovate the house later or whether the things here would be thrown away, for Liu Jing and her friends, the only thing they wanted to do was to return the house to the owner in a clean state.
Liu Liang put a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of wine, and two boxes of Melatonin, the most popular gift, on the table.
She carried a snakeskin bag on her shoulder, which contained bedding and some clothes she brought with her. Another bag contained pots and other things.
They took everything they could, and left things like brooms behind.
After locking the door, Liu Jing placed the key under the brick on the windowsill. This was what the landlord had told her: if she didn't come back and they wanted to leave, they just had to put the key under the brick.
"Mom, let's go."
Liu Liang was carrying a snakeskin bag and holding something in his hand. Although he was thin and small, he felt like he was carrying a sponge when carrying this thing, as if it had no weight at all.
"Okay." Zhou Lanping only carried a small bag of her own. It was not that she was unwilling to carry the two bags, but she really couldn't. She could only sigh and carry her small bag and follow Liu Liang.
This small bag contains important items, and she has always been paying attention to it.
After the car arrived, Liu Liang put her luggage away first, and then sat in the back of the car with Zhou Lanping. Although the back of the car was a bit bumpy, Zhou Lanping liked sitting here because it was very safe for her.
Although she didn't have much money on her, just a passbook and a few buns, she still had to be careful. Even the buns couldn't be lost, because if they were lost, she would have nothing to eat.
After sitting down, Liu Liang took out the newly bought exercise book from her schoolbag and began to flip through it.
The car was quite bumpy, so it was obviously not very practical to practice questions there, but you could still take a look. After all, a journey of more than three hours was not that easy to endure.
Liu Liang originally thought that there wouldn't be many people getting on the bus on the first day of the new year, but it turned out that quite a few people got on the bus. At first, they were scattered, but at the next few stops, more and more people got on, and it became more and more crowded.
Liu Liang then remembered that people of this era did not have many means of transportation, and there were even fewer private cars. There were no high-speed trains or subways. Most of them were buses like this.
If you are visiting relatives, you can only choose to take the bus, which is the most convenient and economical option.
The car was very bumpy, and with so many people in the car, Liu Jing soon felt a little irritated. She put the exercise book back into her schoolbag and sat down to rest with her eyes closed.
Zhou Lanping had already fallen asleep leaning against the back, but even in sleep, he still held the bag tightly in his arms.
Liu Liang did not disturb her, but turned sideways to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Where is the scenery? This is so different from Yushi a few decades later that Liu Liang can't recognize the original ecology here, with loess wasteland everywhere. Where in the world is this Yushi?
Who would have known that ten years later, this desolate place would become the most famous university town in the country, with three or four famous universities alone, and a large airport ranked among the top in the country.
At that time, not only was land extremely expensive, but housing was also hard to come by.
The car continued to drive, and the frequent bumps made Liu Liang seem a little drowsy.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, raised one hand, and accurately grabbed the wrist of a thin, dark man.
The man screamed in pain, and just this one scream scared everyone in the car, and they all looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The thin and dark man's face was twisted in pain, and he looked more and more wretched, ugly and disgusting.
"Why are you, a little girl, grabbing me? The man gritted his teeth in pain. Are you crazy about men?"
Before he could finish his words, he felt another sharp pain in his wrist, which almost made him faint. He only heard the sound of his bones cracking. Could it be that her arm was crushed?
What happened? Zhou Lanping was also awakened. She stood up quickly and was no longer sleepy.
Liu Liang's hand was like a pair of pliers, holding the man's hand tightly. The man pulled for a long time but couldn't pull his arm back.
"Take out the things!"
Liu Liang said lightly, just five words, she didn't want to say anything more.
"What, what did I take?"
The man raised his voice, frowned, and looked angry, but his eyes kept wandering around, and it was obvious that he was feeling guilty.
"Take out the things!"
Liu Jing said it again, and she would not repeat it three times. Whatever he stole, he had to give it to her. Even if he had eaten something, he had to spit it out. If he couldn't spit it out, she didn't mind cutting open his stomach herself.
When the people in the car heard what Liu Jing said, they immediately realized that there was a thief in the car, and they hurriedly rummaged through their bags. Even Zhou Lanping was no exception. She opened the bag she had been holding to her chest, only to find that the bag had been cut. The buns were still there, but her wallet and passbook were gone.
"My wallet!"
