Song Lili quickly assured him, "Yes, yes, I specifically asked Zhang Qinghua, and he said their teacher also said it's possible."
Hearing this, Song Yongren completely believed it.
In this era, people have a special awe and trust in teachers, and always feel that whatever teachers say is right.
As soon as Song Lili mentioned the teacher, Song Yongren immediately believed her, and even Song Jianshe had nothing to say.
Song Lili asked cautiously, "Big Brother, can I plant it?"
"Lili, how much plastic sheeting do you need?" If it's too much, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any more.
"Just a meter or two will do, not too much." She still needs to experiment!
Previously, she had only seen greenhouses; she had theoretical knowledge but no practical experience. She needed to try it out first, and then plant more once she was certain.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll try my best to find a way for you." Song Yongren breathed a huge sigh of relief. One or two meters should be achievable.
Song Lili originally thought of giving up, but she had no other choice but to rely on Song Yongren.
If Song Yongren can't borrow money, then she'll be even less likely to, as many people won't trust her because she's just a child.
Suddenly, Song Lili felt that being this age wasn't so good!
Suddenly, the house fell silent, with a slightly somber atmosphere.
Song Lili suddenly said, "Uncle, can you find a plastic sheet? As long as it's not torn, we don't need to buy a new one."
If the hardware conditions are not up to par, then let's go with the minimum standards.
Song Lili thought this was a good way to save money and reuse waste, which was great!
Unexpectedly, Song Yongren firmly shook his head, "I can't find it. Nobody has that kind of thing in their home."
Song Lili was deflated. Well, she had forgotten that this was the 1960s, when plastic sheeting was still a rare commodity.
Unlike her era, when you could walk into any house and find plastic everywhere.
"Don't worry, Lili, Dad will buy it for you in a few days," Song Yongren comforted Song Lili.
Song Lili quickly said, "No, no, no, you must take me with you when you go, sir."
There are specific requirements for the plastic sheeting used to build plastic greenhouses, which Song Yongren was unaware of, so he must be careful not to buy the wrong kind.
Song Yongren wasn't really sure himself, but he immediately agreed.
Song Lili thought it would be several days before she could go shopping, but to her surprise, Song Yongren said to her happily the next day, "Lili, let's go to town tomorrow."
Song Lili was overjoyed. The sooner she bought the items, the sooner she could start working on them and get results sooner.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Song Lili got up and started getting ready, showing unprecedented enthusiasm.
Song Yongren just watched and chuckled, while Song Jianshe and Song Fang were also happy, and Song Lili was even happier.
The father and daughter arrived in town just as dawn broke, and there were already many people walking along the road.
This town is also called Hongqi Town. It's not very big. Although it's called a town, the houses are only slightly newer than those in Hongqi Village, and none of them leak.
Otherwise, there is no difference.
If you want to buy something, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. This is the only legal place where you can buy and sell things openly and honestly.
This is the only bridge connecting consumers and farmers.
Farmers are allowed to sell their surplus agricultural products to supply and marketing cooperatives.
The supply and marketing cooperative wasn't open yet, so Song Lili asked Song Yongren, "Uncle, is there anything else we need to buy?"
You're not coming to town just to buy one thing, are you?
But she knew the truth! They only came to buy plastic sheeting.
Embarrassed by Song Lili's question, Song Yongren rubbed his hands, his face full of bitterness, "Nothing, nothing to buy, we have everything at home."
What do you have at home? I need everything, but I have no money or ration coupons, how can I buy them?
Song Lili could tell from Song Yongren's expression that he was right, so she didn't say anything more, but changed the subject, "Uncle, does this supply and marketing cooperative have plastic sheeting?"
"Yes, yes, I've already found out. We'll go in as soon as the door opens."
The supply and marketing cooperative opened quite some time later, and the father and daughter rushed to the counter immediately. There was a woman wearing a slightly worn blue cloth jacket, who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
"Hello, we'd like to buy plastic sheeting. How much does it cost?" Song Lili asked.
“Plastic sheet? Just wait…” The woman glanced at the father and daughter casually, and curled her lip in disdain when she saw their clothes covered in patches.
Unfortunately, Song Lili happened to see it, and she felt a surge of anger. Damn it, was she being looked down upon? Was she being despised?
Song Lili also curled her lip. "Tch, what's there to be proud of? In her eyes, she's even more unsophisticated, okay? Where does this sense of superiority come from?"
If Song Lili hadn't seen that she had already turned away, she would have definitely given her a good talking-to.
