The time a family spends together always passes quickly. After dinner, Shen Anyan hugged his daughter and refused to let go, his eyes fixed on Xixi.
But there was no way around it, they all had to go to work in the afternoon, and it would be difficult to explain if they were too late.
At half past one, Shen Anning took Xixi and put her in the backpack. The little girl was still a little depressed.
She looked at the little girl's signature pouting gesture and could only comfort her.
"It's okay, Xixi, let's come again next time. Auntie will bring you here later, okay?"
"Um."
Despite the reluctance of her parents and brother and sister-in-law, Shen Anning still took Shen Zixi away. After all, the situation was still not good and they could not take any risks.
As soon as she left the house, Shen Zixi was put on the bed in the space. Now the little girl was very familiar with the space. When she saw the familiar place, she didn't cry or make a fuss. She made a few "ah ah" sounds and sat on the bed to play with toys.
Put the rice dumplings for Liu Jiaman in the backpack and go directly to her door. Liu Jiaman hasn't gone to work yet. Shen Anning knows that she always goes on time.
Liu Jiaman heard a knock on the door and opened it.
"An Ning, come in quickly."
Taking the backpack from Shen Anning's back, "Oh, it's so heavy, Anning, thank you for your hard work. Next time if there are such heavy things, I'll go to your place to get them, otherwise I'll be really embarrassed."
"It's okay, you know me. I've been exercising since I was a child. This is really nothing to me." Shen Anning didn't care at all. To her, it really didn't matter.
Liu Jiaman touched it and found that the rice dumpling was still warm. She was so moved that tears almost came to her eyes. It was obvious that An Ning had just finished wrapping and cooking it and brought it to her. She must have been busy at it for the whole morning.
She ran back to the room and took out most of the persimmon cakes that her eldest sister brought back last night, and stuffed them into Shen Anning's hands. "Here, my eldest sister brought them back last night. The persimmons haven't grown well yet at this time. This is from the end of last year, and it's already covered with thick icing."
"Okay, I'll take it. Come and try it. The ones wrapped in red thread are meat, and the others are mixed. There are several kinds. Try them and see if they suit your taste."
Although it was not long after lunch, Liu Jiaman still ate one meat dish and one candied date dish. She regretted that her stomach was not big enough, so she packed two more to take to the office and eat in the afternoon.
"Let's go, let's go together. You go to work and I'll go back to the village." Shen Anning carried the empty backpack and went out with Liu Jiaman.
I didn't go home directly. Instead, I went to town first and sent a letter to my family and my second brother. I also picked up a package. The package from Beijing was a bit big and felt soft. It must be that my aunt made a lot of clothes for the family.
When I got home, I took out the letter first. My aunt, uncle and two cousins all wrote to me, saying that everything was fine at home, but it was a pity that Shen An Ning still couldn't go back to visit her relatives this year. There was also a hundred yuan and a radio ticket with the letter. She mentioned this in the letter last time, and my aunt and uncle took it to heart.
Just one ticket is not enough. The twins need one and she wants to keep one for herself. All of these need to be done through clear channels. Shen Anning thought about it and prepared to take the risk of going to the county's black market in the next two days. Anyway, she has a lot of money and food coupons. The national food coupons have no expiration date. The amount her family brought her last year has only been used up to a dozen kilograms.
In the evening, at the dinner table, Shen Anning expressed his idea of going to the county to buy a radio.
"Really? Big sister." Shen Anxuan was shocked by his sister's words.
"Well, I'll pay for the tickets, and you can pay for them yourself. Then you can both use the radio. I won't interfere. You know, I always keep my word."
It has to be said that Shen Anning's words were very tempting. It felt different to have a radio at home than to have their own radio. Without considering it at all, the two little ones indicated that they should pay for it themselves.
"Sister, we have money. We'll pay you whatever the radio costs." Shen Anyu said without any hesitation.
Shen Anning's purpose was not to take their money, but to let them know that if they want something, they must pay the corresponding price, and nothing comes for free.
"The radio is fifty dollars. You can decide among yourselves how much each of you should give."
Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan are twins. They have their own unique understanding on many things. There is nothing to discuss about half for each of them.
Over the past year, Shen Anning had given them exam rewards, pocket money, birthday red envelopes, New Year red envelopes, and the money they earned from collecting herbs in the mountains. She roughly calculated that the two of them had at least a hundred yuan in their hands.
After collecting 25 yuan per person, Shen Anning prepared to go to the county. Now she usually doesn't go to the county town unless there is a special situation. On the one hand, it is too far away, and on the other hand, she doesn't lack anything.
After calculating the time, July 3rd was the county high school final exam. Shen Anning planned to go on that day and buy some things. There were still three days left, so she had to take a good look at the textbooks.
Apart from the Chinese language and politics subjects that were characteristic of the times, she had no problem memorizing everything else. To be on the safe side, she even went to the post office and bought some recently expired newspapers to read.
She had also been to the black market in town, but most of the goods sold there were food. It was too close, so she didn't want to get involved with the black market boss for the time being.
The twins' final exams will be later, in mid-July. This year, the children in the village go to and from school together. Although everyone has a good time, they can work together with a strong motivation. In such an atmosphere, the grades of the children in the two villages have improved rapidly. Even the village chief said that this year's children have grown up and matured a lot.
