Wow, a new grocery store has opened?! They sell rice, flour, cooking oil, and meat!
Seeing these people carrying bottles and jars to buy rice, flour, and cooking oil creates such a wonderful atmosphere!
Su Zhenhua squeezed through the crowd, carefully clutching the cloth bag. This was his food supply for the next few days; he couldn't afford to lose it.
He was chosen as a city dweller in the commune, and his family lived in a two-story house with a courtyard. He even had an NPC grandfather. Although he was a little surprised at first, he didn't expect that this NPC grandfather would actually have a job! He worked at the agricultural machinery station, and his family also had a bicycle.
What an incredible start!
He thought he could finally live off his grandfather, but he discovered that this NPC grandfather was actually a big spender, and there wasn't a single grain of rice left in the rice jar.
"So, you bought this bicycle with a year's salary?!"
Grandpa Su Jiandang, feeling a little guilty, touched his nose. He had borrowed some money, almost a year's salary in advance. This was a Phoenix brand bicycle, and just finding the bicycle receipt had cost him a lot of money. "I guess so." He hoped his cheap "grandson" hadn't discovered the radio in his room, but then quickly put his hand down to avoid accidentally revealing his watch.
Su Jiandang never expected that his casual agreement to cooperate with the program team would result in him being given a "grandson". He was originally a carefree person with a full stomach and his whole family was well fed. In addition, his company provided meals, and he would go fishing and chat with a few old friends in the park on holidays. He couldn't be happier.
Besides, the park's currency can only be used within the park. His friends all have watches and radios, so he certainly can't be out of fashion. As for the bicycle, it's purely for work. Although the agricultural machinery station in the park isn't far from his residence, he occasionally needs to travel for work. The park is huge, and the bus station is far away. He also frequently goes to the state-run restaurant with friends or goes out, so he can't rely solely on his own two feet. He's getting on in years; he'll definitely walk as little as possible.
"So you don't have any savings at all?!"
Su Zhenhua never expected that, looking at such a wealthy family, he thought he was at least a second-generation urbanite, but it turned out that his family's finances were even dirtier than his face.
"Payment will be paid soon, it's okay to miss a meal or two."
Looking at the old man who visibly relaxed, Su Zhenhua asked with some suspicion, "There aren't any debts left, are there?"
"I already gave you the grain ration book, you can exchange it for grain. I'll eat in the cafeteria, you can eat whatever you want from these."
Su Zhenhua watched as the old man, who was beating around the bush and sneaking away, looked up at the sky, trying to hold back his tears. No, what kind of hellish start was this?!
Su Zhenhua was grieving when Peng Aimin pushed open the door and came in. "Hey buddy, what are you doing standing here? The grocery store is about to open, wanna go together?"
Peng Aimin thought to himself, Su Zhenhua is really lucky. He got a house with a yard right away and has a grandfather who works at the agricultural machinery station. Unlike him, he doesn't have any NPCs to help him. He's all alone. If he were Su Zhenhua, he'd be laughing in his sleep every night.
This guy will definitely make it to the finals, and he can get a share of the profits if he joins him.
Su Zhenhua, carrying rice and a glass bottle of oil that he had painstakingly found at home, entered his own courtyard under Peng Aimin's envious gaze.
[Hahaha, this Su Zhenhua is something else! He's already in debt right from the start, impressive!]
[Does Peng Aimin's envious look mean he thinks Su Zhenhua is rich? But didn't Su Zhenhua already explain himself?]
[Who would believe that?! We have a bicycle, a grandfather who earns money, and a small courtyard house with a two-story building.]
[Why is the toilet in this courtyard outside? Did they have to be so realistic?!]
[The old houses were all like that; they were allocated by work units, and public toilets were built one per area.]
By the way, this foreign debt shouldn't have anything to do with Su Zhenhua, right?
Well, how should I put it? Given the show's style, it's really hard to say.
You think they lived in those two-story houses for free?! Or rode those bicycles for free?! I have to say, the production team did a pretty good job balancing things out.
[It feels like the identity information this season is all so ridiculous. Some characters seem to have a good start, but they're actually heavily in debt.]
Looking at it this way, Shi Hongmei is better off; she gets paid six times for one day's work.
The grocery store was almost sold out before noon. Liu Wumei tidied her braids and looked at the trucks coming to unload goods in the backyard of the warehouse. She thought to herself that this morning was really like a battle. She wondered who had pulled off the rubber band on her braids.
Fortunately, she had a sweet tongue, and one of the older girls lent her a strip of cloth, which she had to return the next day, of course.
Liu Wumei sighed, "Before I came here, I had so many hair accessories that I would run out of them one by one. I never thought I would have to borrow them from NPCs now."
She learned a lot of information on her first day of work and felt that the park really had a replica feel to it. The grain and oil books were made almost exactly the same as the ones her grandmother had shown her.
The rations are also somewhat different; the variety is much richer than in the past, probably because the vegetables and grains grown in the park itself have already reached a certain production level.
Overall, Liu Wumei felt that her first day at work was quite pleasant, at least better than working in the fields, and the busyness only lasted for a short while.
Moreover, state-run grocery stores are different from state-run stores; they sell vegetables, fruits, meat, and condiments such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
The target group is urban families, who receive a monthly food ration. Occasionally, some people from the countryside will come to buy meat or sell eggs to grocery stores.
So people lined up at the door early in the morning to buy things, and fresh vegetables and meats were in short supply. Basically, once you got to the front of the line, you couldn't buy anything. Everything was sold out before 10 a.m. The state-run store across the street was busy until the afternoon.
