The first stop when going out, Ana Shen planned to go to the department store first and take a bus, which would take about half an hour.
Looking at the five-story building in front of him, Shen Anning was quite emotional. Beijingers have a saying that if you can't buy something in a department store, don't go anywhere else.
The things in the space are quite complete, but considering that I have to rely on others and build relationships when going to the countryside, some of the things in the space are not suitable to be taken out. There are white sugar, brown sugar, and rock sugar in the space, several big bags. There is no need to buy these. Looking at the stack of receipts in my hand...
First, I went to the candy counter and asked, "Hello, my family is having a wedding. How much do you charge for these candies?"
Shen Anning was neatly dressed and had a good attitude. The salesperson didn't mind the trouble and introduced it to her in detail: "Assorted fruit candies are 1.2 yuan per pound, or you can buy them individually for 1 cent each. Prawn cakes are 1.8 yuan per pound, and they are 2 cents each if you buy them individually. White Rabbit milk candies are 2.5 yuan per pound, and they are 5 cents each if you buy them individually."
Rice is only 20 cents per pound now, so sugar is really expensive.
I ordered two pounds of mixed fruit candies and one pound of White Rabbit candies, and paid 4.90 yuan and three pounds of candy coupons. I saw that I still had two 400 yuan coupons in my hand, and ordered bar-shaped chocolates. Coin chocolates and liqueur-filled chocolates are not available yet, and we have to wait a few years. Two bars of chocolate cost three yuan, and this is what is available today. This kind of thing can't be bought every day.
I bought a few pairs of soles according to the sizes of my family members, and some cloth suitable for making clothes in common colors. I spent all my cloth coupons. It cost 40 cents per foot, and 3 feet is about 1 meter. There were two kinds of cloth, black and gray. I bought 4 meters of each, which cost me 9.60 yuan.
Shen Anning carried a package in each hand and walked out of the department store. Not far from the Post and Telecommunications Building, she walked in and called her aunt first. When her aunt Shen Yipei was twelve years old, she studied in a nursing school. Later, she studied medicine and is now a surgeon in the First General Hospital of the Military Region. Unlike Shen's mother's petty bourgeois style, her aunt is a person who can manage her life and work very well.
After the twin siblings were born, Shen Anning followed her aunt to study. If it weren't for her physical condition, she would definitely be an excellent doctor in the future.
Listening to the voice coming from the receiver, "Hello, who is this?"
"Aunt, I'm An Ning."
"Ningning, what's wrong?" Shen Yipei was very nervous. She had to think too much. The current situation was very unfavorable to the Shen family.
"Aunt, don't worry, everything is fine at home. Can you and uncle come to our house tonight? I have something to discuss with you."
Shen Yipei was relieved, “Okay, your uncle and I will go there tonight and buy a roast duck from Quanjude, okay?”
Shen Anning listened to her aunt's words, and her eyes were sore. Whether in the past life or now, her aunt tried her best to be good to them and thought a lot about them. "Okay, aunt."
The phone bill was expensive, and there were people waiting to call later, so Shen An Ning didn't say much. The first floor of the Post and Telecommunications Building was where letters were sent and received, and parcels were delivered. Thinking that she would need a lot of stamps and envelopes in the future, because of the different face values, Shen An Ning bought one set of each, spending a total of six yuan, and thirty envelopes. She didn't want to make a fortune by relying on stamps. After all, not everyone could buy the wrong stamps, so she planned to buy more and collect them.
I didn't buy much today, so Shen An Ning didn't put it away and just took it back to the tube building.
When she got home, the two little ones were still asleep. She tidied up her things and packed the things she would take away. Although she didn't want to leave them to those people, she had to leave big items like bicycles and sewing machines behind, otherwise it would be difficult to say what would happen. However, she could take the enamel cups and military water bottles with her, otherwise she would have to buy them when she got to the countryside, which would be inconvenient.
Shen's father and mother didn't have many clothes, and they were all well preserved. The Mao suits and skirts were definitely not to be taken away. The shirts, pants, and cotton coats were all packed into two packages. The quilts, sheets, etc. would be dealt with when Shen's father came back. All the small ornaments in the house were put into the space. Fortunately, the cabinets and tables were made of ordinary wood, otherwise she would really regret it.
I packed the two little ones' clothes together with my own. Now the main thing is to convince my family to agree to let me take the two little ones to the countryside.
In fact, Shen Anning did this for a reason. Grandpa had said in his previous life that there were no barefoot doctors in Wangtu Village and Gengjiatun Village.
If she could take the exam to become a barefoot doctor as an educated youth and help the villagers in the two villages treat simple illnesses, she would not be short of money. She would only need a few work points a day, and both villages would benefit. When the time comes, she can propose to let the two children go to school with the other children in the village. Would she still be afraid that the village chief would not agree?
