Because he had to get up early in the morning to catch the bus, Shen Anning couldn't stay for long.
Before leaving, he kept nagging. Grandpa Shen was getting older and more and more like an old child. "Grandpa and grandma, you have to eat eggs every day. Grandma has a bad stomach. Get up in the morning and make some porridge. Don't save it. Anyway, I will go to Wangtu Village as an educated youth in the future. I will send it to you every few days."
"Okay, okay, grandpa has remembered everything. Don't worry too much. I suffered a lot when I was on the battlefield." After finally sending off his granddaughter who was chanting scriptures, Grandpa Shen laughed out loud while lying on the kang.
Who would have thought that it was such a little girl who saw through the difficulties and took on the burden of the family.
At four o'clock in the morning, Shen An Ning got up. It was too early and there was no light outside. Looking at Shen Anxuan and Geng Yue who were sleeping soundly, she got up carefully and tidied up a little. She left a note on the kang and took a few hairbands and hairpins sold in the supermarket and placed them next to their pillows.
Shen Anning couldn't have too much contact with the villagers for the time being. After all, she would be coming here as an educated youth in ten days or so. It was best not to know everyone now. She had learned yesterday that the ox carts in the village usually went to the town at six o'clock in the morning. She had to go to the town to arrange the blue bricks and tiles before the villagers got up, and then go to the county to take the train back. She had inquired about it and bought the ticket on the day she got off the train, which was for the three o'clock train today.
There are small electric scooters and bicycles in the space, but the designs are too advanced. Now it’s still dark and there’s no one on the road, so they can be taken out and used.
It took more than ten minutes to ride the electric donkey to the town, find a guesthouse and book a room. Shen Anning went into the room, locked the door and entered the space.
I lay in bed for a while to refresh myself, then had a bowl of soy milk, a bun and a fried dough stick at the breakfast shop. I looked at the time and it was not yet seven o'clock.
It was still early. The post office opens at 8 o'clock and should not be open yet. Shen An Ning started his tidying up again. He hurriedly put the things in the house that day. Before he looked at them carefully, he put away the two passbooks at home. He also found six small yellow croakers and a bag of small golden beans at home that day. He didn't need them for the time being, so he put them in the study. He had 1,326.30 yuan in cash on hand. He sorted the bills and placed them on the coffee table in chronological order, covering them with transparent plastic for future use.
I took a pound of blessing character cakes and a pound of ox tongue cakes to keep for the guards who would visit my grandfather in the county later.
For the first time, Shen Anning went shopping in the supermarket in the space very seriously, because the shops selling things on the small street had a wide variety of items, and most of the things in the supermarket were not sold in other shops on the small street.
The supermarket is roughly divided into sixteen areas of varying sizes. Near the entrance are various beverages and mineral waters, and six freezers are filled with popsicles and ice cream. Further in are various packaged breads, dried tofu, potato chips, jerky, biscuits, candies and chocolates. There is also a shelf with candied nuts.
The number of daily necessities is the largest, with skin care products, toiletries, toilet paper, and sanitary napkins filling up six shelves, and many are piled up like small hills in the empty space.
There are two shelves for infant formula, diapers, bottles, complementary food, walkers, and children's toys. There is also a shelf for elderly milk powder, lotus root powder, kudzu root powder, and black sesame paste. At the back are small appliances, rice cookers, induction cookers, and frying pans.
I feel more confident!
I put six apples in a net bag, and I picked out the small ones, and brought two cans of fruit and two boxes of snacks. It was my first visit, so the gift was perfect.
I waited until 7:30, checked out and went to the post office. It was still early and not many people around, so I called my uncle and told him what he had done in the past two days.
Knowing that Shen Anning wanted blue bricks and tiles, Peng Cheng said that he would take care of this matter and deliver it to the village within two days. Shen Anning also learned from her aunt that several of Shen's father's colleagues had already gone to the countryside, and the president of Jingda was also arranged to go to the farm.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Anning knew that time waits for no one. If nothing unexpected happens, Shen's father and mother will be taken away for investigation in the next few days.
I took the bus to the county and found the family compound with the address my grandfather gave me. Because it was a family compound jointly owned by the Armed Forces Department, the Public Security Bureau and the Revolutionary Committee Office, there were guards on duty at the door.
"Hello, comrade. Could you please pass on the message to Minister Geng Chengyi in Room 201, Building 3? I'm his relative. My name is Shen Anning." He made a phone call as he watched the guard enter the room.
Soon, a man in military uniform came over and said, "Xiao Ning, come in quickly."
Geng Chengyi is only in his early forties this year, so Shen Anning calls him uncle and follows Geng Chengyi to his house. It has three bedrooms and a living room and looks very big. There is a little boy sitting on the sofa.
"An Ning, I'm sorry to embarrass you. Your aunt has gone to work. This is my youngest son. Today, because he doesn't want to go to school, I took a day off and stayed at home to beat him up." Geng Chengyi was helpless and pushed his youngest son into the house and closed the door.
Uh, what a coincidence.
Putting the things down, Shen Anning asked: “Uncle Geng, is the county town still in chaos now?”
Speaking of this, Geng Chengyi gets a headache. There are only two months left in this semester, and this group of people has started making trouble again, and the armed forces cannot use weapons to suppress them.
"Yes, An Ning, the city has been a bit restless lately. I heard you'll be an educated youth in Wangtu Village. If you have any problems, just come to me. If you encounter any problems in the village, just go to the village chief or the party secretary of Gengjiatun."
Listening to what Geng Chengyi said, Shen Anning knew that he was sincere, and thanked him very sincerely. After talking for a while, because he had to catch the train, Shen Anning stood up and said goodbye according to the time.
Before leaving, Shen Anning thought about the exam, "Uncle Geng, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with. Please help me find out when the barefoot doctor exam in Heishan County is and whether they need to participate in training or something."
Geng Chengyi patted his chest and promised to help her find out everything clearly. "Okay, An Ning, don't worry. When you come here next time, your uncle will make sure to find out everything for you."
