No one in their family has ever taught them about sex, nor has anyone ever given them enough love.
A little bit of kindness from strangers outside made them lose themselves, and under their primitive impulse, they began to explore the relationship between men and women, and soon they got pregnant.
Some people never came back and just followed the outsiders.
Some people came back with their men, got married hastily with bulging bellies, and gave birth to children and became mothers before they even reached a marriage marriage age.
These phenomena were not uncommon in rural areas from 1985 to 2000.
In her previous life, if she hadn’t had to take care of the entire Chen family and couldn’t leave, she might have followed these little sisters out.
Qiao Jiangxin collected his thoughts and slowly walked around the stalls one by one. When he heard someone asking for prices or making a transaction, he would stop to listen.
When they see the goods out of curiosity, they will smile and sweetly ask the stall owner about the price.
There were radios, tape recorders, watches, tweed coats, but the prices were too high for Qiao Jiangxin to afford. At that time, the ready-made clothes were also ridiculously expensive.
She couldn't afford big items with the little money she had, and she lived in the countryside, so spending was limited.
Everyone is hovering on the brink of food and clothing, and cannot afford to eat meat for ten days or half a month.
So after a round of shopping, she decided to buy some small and light items to test the waters.
Qiao Jiangxin stopped at a more miscellaneous stall.
The stall owner was still taking things out, and without even looking up he said, "Just take a look."
A large sheet of thick film is filled with densely packed small commodities.
There were beautiful rubber shoes, various socks, gloves that showed the fingers, sets of needles and thread, bags of colorful candies that looked like bullets, marbles, buttons, and all kinds of items, just like the small shop at the school gate.
Qiao Jiangxin picked up a sewing box, which contained five colors of silk thread and a box of needles of various sizes.
"Auntie, how much is this?"
A fat aunt with short curly hair and a shoulder bag hanging on her big belly.
He glanced back and said, "There are ten needles and five spools of thread in there. You can get one for 20 cents. If you want more than ten, I'll give you 19 cents."
Qiao Jiangxin's eyes lit up, but he still bargained subconsciously, "A pound of millet is only 1.8 cents at the grain station. This little thing is more expensive than a pound of grain."
The woman was not angry. "Every household needs this stuff. If you go to the street and ask, you will find that just buying a needle costs two dollars. Look, the needle and thread are already prepared for you. You can sell this stuff for 50 cents."
Qiao Jiangxin put down the sewing box and picked up the large bundle of stretch tape next to him, which was the thing to put inside his pants.
Most people in the countryside buy cloth and make their own clothes. Forget about belts, as they just tie them with ropes. This thing will definitely sell well if you take it back.
To coax children, you can buy bullet candies. There are more than ten in a bag, but they only cost one or two yuan. People in the countryside are poor, but they are still willing to spend seven or eight yuan or a dime to coax their children.
Yellow plastic rubber bands, a bunch of dozens, only a little over ten cents, women use them to tie their hair, it's a necessity.
A variety of hair ties, hairpins, refills, pencils, and ballpoint pens.
Qiao Jiangxin asked about the prices one by one, then looked at the woman sweetly, "Sister, your hair is so beautiful and fashionable."
The woman who changed from aunt to sister subconsciously raised her hand to press her hair, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Really, it took two hours to perm my hair. I heard that many big stars in movies have their hair permed like this."
