Qingzhou City is the capital of the neighboring province, with abundant coal-fired land, so it was relatively easy for the two to escape.
It took Wu Liang three days to successfully negotiate more than 7,000 kilograms of grain, which was considered to be overfulfilling the task.
After completing the task, Wu Liang and Lin Chaoyang were relieved and prepared to go shopping.
Wu Liang also had a shopping mission on his shoulders, so the two of them started to act separately.
Lin Chaoyang went straight to the state-owned goods store, but was not in a hurry to buy a thermos.
He walked around and went to the shoe counter first.
"Hello, comrade. How much are these shoes?"
Lin Chaoyang pointed to a pair of men's shoes that were similar in style to those in the supermarket and asked about the price.
The salesperson took out the shoes and said, "These are new. They are 18 yuan. You need a receipt."
You need a ticket to buy anything now, and it's rare to find something that doesn't require a ticket.
However, the price of these leather shoes is really cheap, and even if they don’t require tickets, I guess not many people will buy them.
Lin Chaoyang quickly refused, saying it was too expensive, and asked about the price of women's shoes.
The styles of women's shoes in the counter are also quite good, at least much better looking than those in their county.
"Ten dollars, twelve dollars, sixteen dollars. Only the sixteen-dollar pair requires a ticket. The others require shoe tickets."
Lin Chaoyang turned his eyes and saw a pair of Jiefang shoes.
This kind of liberation shoes is also available in supermarkets. It is considered a retro style and is also bought by many people.
"Comrade, how much is this pair of Liberation shoes?"
Maybe he asked too many questions, so the salesperson became a little impatient and his tone became cold.
"Liberation shoes are 3.50 yuan a pair, but you need a ticket."
Lin Chaoyang also knew that he was annoying, so after asking clearly, he quickly left the counter.
Then, he went to the clothing counter and took a look around. He felt that none of the clothes looked as good as the yellow polka-dot skirt he had chosen, and only then was he satisfied.
After shopping for a long time, he went to the industrial products counter and bought two red iron kettles for Zhang Qinghong.
There are peony flowers and the word "happiness" on it, which is very suitable for use in weddings.
In addition, he also bought some cakes that were easier to store and a few cans of malted milk.
These are things that can be taken out and displayed in public, and can be given to others as gifts when you go back.
After buying things, Lin Chaoyang returned to the guesthouse.
Wu Liang came back soon, also with bags full of shopping bags.
After a night's rest, the two boarded the return bus.
After two days of hard work, I finally returned to Dongji County.
That day was a working day, and Lin Chaoyang took the things directly to the logistics department office.
Zhang Qinghong was very surprised to see what Lin Chaoyang brought back.
"Oh my god, Xiaolin, you are really talented. This quilt cover is so nice. I have never seen such a beautiful one!"
Lin Chaoyang smiled. This is a fine product from the supermarket. Of course, it is better than the ones sold in stores now.
Wang Aixiang also praised, "Xiao Lin is really talented. Look how fashionable these leather shoes are. They are not so fashionable in our county!"
The two were so happy that Lin Chaoyang also shared the gifts he brought back with everyone.
The gift was not expensive, but it was a pastry that he bought in the store and was easy to store.
Most of my colleagues in the logistics department have children at home, and they are all happy to receive these things as gifts.
After distributing the gifts, Lin Chaoyang chatted with the older sisters about what he had seen and heard outside, and was then let go.
It's not time to get off work yet, but Lin Chaoyang doesn't have to work today, so he can go home early to rest.
Moreover, there are two days off after the business trip, which is just right for him to go back to his hometown.
It was just in time for the summer harvest to begin, and he remembered something important.
It was at this time in my previous life that my second aunt became pregnant with a child.
But because the summer harvest was too tiring and nutrition was not guaranteed, the children died of exhaustion.
It was also because of this incident that Second Aunt’s health deteriorated day by day, and she passed away early.
In Lin Chaoyang's heart, Second Aunt was a very good person. Even though the family was in such a difficult situation, she still supported them and their brothers and sisters.
Lin Chaoyang knew that if he hadn't had the help from his second uncle and second aunt in his previous life, he might not have grown up.
He really hadn't thought about this matter before, but now he suddenly remembered it and wanted to help his second aunt.
After get off work, Lin Chaoyang went to the kindergarten and took Lin Chaoxing back to the dormitory.
He plans to go to the countryside tomorrow and take his younger brother with him.
During the summer harvest, he was considered a laborer, so if he went there, he had to help with the work.
I'll probably be coming and coming back that day, so I'd better bother Sister Hong all the time and take her along.
Early the next morning, before daybreak, Lin Chaoyang got up.
She woke up Lin Chaoxing who was still asleep, made him a cup of milk powder, and gave him two pieces of cake.
Lin Chaoxing has been eating and sleeping well at the mine recently, and has grown noticeably taller and fatter.
But he still had a habit of feeding Lin Chaoyang a mouthful before eating, and then he would eat with peace of mind.
After he finished eating, Lin Chaoyang packed up his things, and the two of them set out facing the sunrise.
Lin Chaoyang's bag contained malted milk and cakes bought at the store, as well as brown sugar he brought from the supermarket.
The summer harvest had begun, and the fresh grain would soon be distributed, so he would need to carry more grain on his back.
Halfway through the journey, he thought about it and decided to secretly take out a piece of pork, wrap it in oil paper and put it in his bag.
The conditions were difficult at that time, and it was estimated that my second uncle's family had not had any money for a long time.
But the summer harvest was so tiring, and without any oil or water in my stomach, I was really full.
Lin Chaoyang didn't take much, only about two kilograms of meat.
However, he had carefully selected it while he was relieving himself, and this piece of meat was both fat and lean, with some left over for making lard.
When the sun rose above the sun, Lin Chaoyang also went to the village.
At this moment, anyone who can move has to help with the work, so there is no one at my second uncle's house at all.
The door of his second uncle's house was not locked, so Lin Chaoyang went straight in and hid the things in the warehouse.
He hung the piece of meat in the well. It was too hot that day and it would easily go bad if left there.
After hiding the things, Lin Chaoyang took Lin Chaoxing to the field.
My second uncle was working hard in the fields at the moment and didn't pay any attention to him.
Second Aunt, who was still bundling rice nearby, saw Lin Chaoyang and waved to him quickly.
"Yoko! Over here!"
Lin Chaoyang led Lin Chaoxing over and politely greeted the aunts who were working nearby.
"Hey, Yangzi, life in the city is so good. Look at how plump and white Xingxing has become. He has changed a lot!"
"Yoko is pretty strong, so it looks like she'll have to eat the rations she's supplied with!"
"After all, everyone wants a stable job. Yangzi is lucky to have saved the child of a big boss."
There was obviously sourness in the aunts' words, and Lin Chaoyang did not respond, just smiled perfunctorily and let it go.
"Second Aunt, I'm going to help in the fields. Xingxing is picking up rice nearby. Watch him and make sure he doesn't run too far."
The second aunt agreed, and Lin Chaoyang gave Lin Chaoxing a few instructions before rolling up his trouser legs and going downstairs.
