In the entire coal mine, only the three older sisters in the logistics department have the best relationship with Lin Chaoyang.
He has been out on purchasing trips these days, so he can only ask the three older sisters to take care of him.
Zhang Qinghong's family was the simplest, so she took on the task directly.
"Thank you so much, Sister Hong. If you need anything, I'll go outside and bring it back for you."
Zhang Qinghong immediately took out a piece of paper and said, "I really have something I want you to bring for me."
Lin Chaoyang took the paper and looked at it. There were two tin kettles, a Dacron women's dress, and pillowcases and sheets with trendy patterns.
"Sister Hong, is your family planning to have a wedding?"
Zhang Qinghong smiled and nodded, "My daughter is getting married, and I bought all this for her."
Lin Chaoyang took the note and said, "Don't worry, Sister Hong, I will definitely bring these things back for you."
Ye Honglian didn't have anything to bring, so Wang Aixiang wanted to ask Lin Chaoyang to bring her a pair of fashionable men's leather shoes.
Lin Chaoyang also responded, wrote the size of his leather shoes on the slip of paper, and put it away carefully.
After get off work in the afternoon, Lin Chaoyang took Zhang Qinghong to the kindergarten to talk to the teacher.
This kind of thing often happens to workers in the mines, so the teacher just needs to identify who will take over.
Because they had to leave early the next morning, Lin Chaoyang packed up Lin Chaoxing's things and sent them to Zhang's house that night.
Lin Chaoxing was very sensible. He knew that his elder brother was going to work, so he followed Zhang Qinghong to say goodbye to his elder brother.
After leaving Zhang's house and returning to the dormitory, Lin Chaoyang went into the supermarket.
Today, the sisters brought leather shoes and shirts, and Lin Chaoyang suddenly remembered that there was a special section for shoes in the supermarket.
The supermarket where he works also has shoe and clothing brands stationed behind the Japanese goods area.
Lin Chaoyang had been hanging around the food area and had hardly been there.
When he was working in his previous life, he seldom went there, so now he might as well take stock.
Walking to the shoe area, Lin Chaoyang looked at them one by one.
The leather shoes in the supermarket are not very trendy nowadays, and most of the customers are middle-aged and elderly people.
But in the 1980s and 1990s, whoever wore these leather shoes would be a fashion trendsetter.
Lin Chaoyang was holding a pair of women's leather shoes inlaid with colorful "gems" and thought that someone would buy them even if they were sold for ten yuan.
Men's leather shoes are more classic in style, and any pair will sell very well.
After all, modern technology is advanced and the quality of leather shoes is much better than those produced in the past.
Lin Chaoyang thought about it and chose the men's shoes that were closer to the style of the 1980s and the women's shoes inlaid with colored gemstones.
He didn't take much, just about ten pairs of each size.
After getting his leather shoes ready, Lin Chaoyang went to the clothing area again.
Zhang Qinghong said she wanted to buy a Dacron dress, which is actually made of polyester fabric.
This type of fabric is the most common in modern times, and many dresses in supermarkets are made of this material.
Lin Chaoyang walked around for a long time and chose a yellow polka-dot dress for her.
As for the bed sheets and pillowcases that Zhang Qinghong wanted, Lin Chaoyang directly picked out a set with auspicious patterns of dragon and phoenix as a gift for her.
But it's an iron kettle. There is really no such retro one in the supermarket, so I can only buy it when the time comes.
This time he went purchasing with an old employee, and it was difficult to move around much, so he didn't prepare anything else.
After putting everything away, Lin Chaoyang walked out of the supermarket and prepared to take a rest.
At dawn the next day, Lin Chaoyang got up, took a few clothes, and went straight to the purchasing office.
His master Wu Liang was already there, and when he saw him coming, he immediately picked up his luggage and prepared to leave.
They went straight to the station and took the earliest bus to the provincial capital.
"We will go to the provincial capital first, stay overnight, and then change buses tomorrow. It will be hard on the road, but this is what we do when we go shopping."
Lin Chaoyang nodded. In this era, transportation is not so developed, so it is normal to have some hardship.
"As for you, just follow me when you're away. Don't run around. I won't take care of you if you get lost."
Lin Chaoyang was about to nod, but then he remembered that he had to help someone carry something, so he mentioned it again.
"Master, I came out this time and asked someone to take care of my brother. I have to buy things for him and bring them back."
Wu Liang often does this, but he doesn't care. "Just let me know when you're done, and come back to the guesthouse on time."
Lin Chaoyang felt relieved and continued to chat with Wu Liang about his previous purchases.
It was almost dinner time, and the two finally arrived at the station in the provincial capital.
After settling down in a nearby guesthouse, Wu Liang took Lin Chaoyang to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Lin Chaoyang had never been to a state-owned restaurant before, so he went with them out of curiosity.
The state-owned restaurants near the provincial capital's railway station are obviously different from those in the county town, with much bigger storefronts.
Wu Liang took Lin Chaoyang to the counter with ease and ordered one meat and one vegetable, and two large bowls of rice.
The price is not cheap. This meal cost me nearly three dollars.
Lin Chaoyang thought, at this price, except for those who were on business trips and could get reimbursed, who among the ordinary people would be willing to come and eat here?
All in all, a month's salary is not enough to buy a few meals.
After paying the money, Wu Liang found a seat and asked Lin Chaoyang to sit down with him.
Not long after they sat down, someone called out from the kitchen window.
"One portion of braised pork with radish, one portion of shredded potatoes, and two bowls of rice. Come and get them!"
Wu Liang quickly got up and ran over to bring the food over.
Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but ask, "The state-owned restaurant still lets us get our own food?"
Their seats were very close to the counter, and before Wu Liang could say anything, the cashier over there spoke unhappily.
"Why? You still want us to serve you?"
Wu Liang quickly signaled Lin Chaoyang not to speak, then turned back and smiled, "No, no, it's his first time here, he doesn't know much."
After that, he whispered to Lin Chaoyang, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. How can you let others serve you now?"
Lin Chaoyang understood, and quickly lowered his head to eat without saying a word.
After the meal, Wu Liang cleaned up the dishes and returned them to the window.
Lin Chaoyang remembered it, but next time he went out to do some shopping, he did not plan to eat at the state-owned restaurant.
The food here doesn't taste that good and is very expensive. It's better for him to eat self-heating rice and instant noodles in the supermarket.
The most important thing is that the employees of state-owned restaurants are all very powerful. If he says something wrong, it will easily get him into trouble.
After returning to the guesthouse, Lin Chaoyang went to rest right after washing up because he was staying in the same room with Wu Liang.
Early the next morning, they boarded the bus to Qingzhou City again.
After another day of wandering in the car, we finally arrived in Qingzhou City.
After resting for a night in the guesthouse, Lin Chaoyang started to discuss the issue of exchanging food with Wu Liang.
