Chapter 17 Going to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative



Wen Nuan carried a backpack and came to an empty place outside the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative and waited for others.

It didn't take long before Xie Sufang and a few others came out one after another. They bought a lot of things. After all, the last time they came to the supply and marketing cooperative was more than a month ago.

Xie Sufang and her family were pretty good to their daughters. Although they didn't send money checks every month, they sent five or six times a year. Plus, they were all hard-working people and didn't spend money recklessly, so they still had some money in their hands.

Seeing that everyone was present, Wen Nuan broke the two egg cakes she had taken out earlier and gave each of them half. "Sisters, we haven't eaten breakfast yet, so eat some egg cakes first!"

None of them refused. They hadn't eaten breakfast and were indeed very hungry. However, they all thought about sharing some of the pastries they bought today with Wen Nuan when they got back.

Liu Xiaoling has a watch, but she doesn't wear it often. But today she put it on because she was afraid she would miss the ox cart.

"It's already half past twelve, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner!" Liu Xiaoling suggested, looking at the time.

"This..." Xie Sufang and Lin Yiman were a little hesitant.

"Go, go, sisters, I'm almost starving!" Liu Xiaoling pulled their arms and acted coquettishly.

Wen Nuan also wanted to experience the characteristic restaurants of this era, so she said, "Sister Sufang, it will be evening when we return to the educated youth point. It's not good for your health to be hungry for such a long time. Let's go eat something."

Xie Sufang and Lin Yiman looked at each other and said, "Okay, let's go!"

It’s a rare opportunity to get out, so spend some money!

Several people were carrying their belongings and walking towards the state-owned restaurant. Liu Xiaoling walked the fastest and kept looking back to urge them on.

"This girl, it looks like she's not hungry, otherwise how could she have the energy to walk so fast?" Xie Sufang said with a smile as she looked at Liu Xiaoling jumping in front of her.

"hehe……"

I entered the state-owned restaurant. It was very simple, with more than a dozen round wooden tables. A woman in her thirties was sitting by the window. Next to her was a wooden sign that read: Today's menu includes rice, steamed buns, vegetarian noodles, noodles with soybean paste, meat buns, vegetarian buns, braised pork, and fried saury...

When Wen Nuan saw the sign that said braised pork, she immediately started to salivate. She wanted to eat it so badly...

But, no, I have already bought so many things today, it would be a bit awkward to eat the braised pork, so I can only look at the other things with regret.

In the end, I ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles and a meat bun with resentment, which cost me 1.2 yuan plus half a pound of food coupons.

Xie Sufang and a few others ordered the same thing as Wen Nuan.

After a while, the older sister sitting at the window called a few people to get their meals.

Looking at the large bowl of vegetarian noodles and meat buns as big as her face in front of her, Wen Nuan couldn't help but exclaim, what a great deal!

The cooking skills of the chef at the state-owned restaurant were still very good. The noodles and meat buns tasted very good. The few people didn't care about their image and just started eating with big mouthfuls.

"Oh... so comfortable!" Liu Xiaoling collapsed on the stool, stroking her bulging belly, "I really want to eat at state-owned restaurants every day!"

"Then you can only think about it..." Lin Yiman joked.

"Hate……"

After eating, a few people sat down to rest for a while, and came out with their backpacks before the waiter could send them away.

The town was very small and there wasn't much to do, so a few people carried their backpacks and went to the ox cart.

When we arrived at the ox cart, several people had already returned. They all found a place in the shade of a tree to sit and eat the dry food they brought with them. Grandpa Wu was feeding the oxen with some hay.

Wen Nuan and the others did not go under the shade of the trees, but put the backpacks on the ox cart and stood beside it waiting.

Wen Nuan took out a few fruit candies that she had bought today, gave one to each person, and handed two to Fifth Grandpa, who did not refuse and accepted them with a smile.

When we got back to the educated youth site, it was almost six o'clock. The male educated youth had already prepared dinner. Since they didn't have to work today, they simply cooked some corn porridge.

Wen Nuan took out the big bones she had bought. Now that the weather was getting hot, she was afraid that they would go bad, so she asked the male educated youth to chop them up, add water and stew them in the pot.

The female educated youth were all tired, so they quickly finished their meal and went back to their rooms to rest.

Feifei, who had been silent for most of the day, finally had the opportunity to have a good chat with Wen Nuan. Amid Feifei's chattering voice, Wen Nuan fell into a sweet dream...
