Taohua walked along the glass counter after hearing this. Everything here seemed very new to her, but she just looked at it.
Although Taohua wanted many things, she had no intention of buying anything. She looked around and then came back to follow Nanqiao closely.
"Why are you back? Don't you want anything?" Nanqiao asked in confusion.
"No, I don't lack anything, and my brother often gets up early and goes to bed late to make money, which is not easy." Taohua shook her head and said
Nanqiao looked at Taohua's cute appearance, touched her little head and said, "Taohua is so good, you feel sorry for your brother working so hard."
"My brother worked so hard. My family didn't have much money before. My eldest brother didn't even have money to marry a wife. It was my second brother who went to town to be an apprentice to a master driver and made money by driving long distances for the factory." Taohua told Nanqiao
"Your second brother can drive?" Nanqiao was a little surprised. In this era, many people may never even see a car in their entire lives, and those who can drive are even rarer. It is very rare.
"Yes, yes, my second brother is very smart. He can learn anything since he was young. Although our family has some money to build a new house now, I still don't want my second brother to go out. It would be great if he could stay at home every day like my eldest brother." Taohua said with some disappointment.
"Why? Is it because Taohua is reluctant to let her second brother go out?" Nanqiao didn't understand why Taohua thought so, thinking that the little girl was more clingy to her brother.
"Of course not, Sister Nan, Taohua really can't bear to leave my second brother, but Taohua is worried about him. I heard from Uncle Xingwang in the village that driving a long-distance truck is very dangerous. There are often bad guys who rob people on the road. Not only do they steal things, they also kill people. I am worried that my second brother will be in danger."
Nanqiao was startled when he heard this.
Before the book, there were high-definition cameras everywhere in China, and police patrolled from time to time at night. Even if you slept in the car without closing the door, there would be no danger. But now it is very different. There is no supervision, and it is a time of unrest. There are many desperate criminals.
I'm used to the life in the 21st century, and now there is such a big gap, it seems that I can't adapt for a while.
"Don't worry, your second brother is so capable, and you are waiting for him at home, so he will definitely come back safely." Nanqiao comforted Taohua
"Sister, let's not talk about my second brother. I'm here to go shopping with you. I seldom come to town. This time, mom agreed to let me come because she was afraid that my second brother would reserve a seat for you and there would be gossip in the village."
"Really? Then when I come to town next time, can I take you with me?" Nanqiao asked like coaxing a child.
Taohua was originally happy to hear Nanqiao say this, but then she thought of something and said with some disappointment:
"School will start again after the summer vacation, and my sister will soon have to go to the fields to earn work points. She can only rest for one or two days a month. My sister needs to rest more and doesn't need to take me everywhere."
In Nanqiao's opinion, children of this age are at the stage of being willful and playful, but for some reason Taohua is so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Maybe it’s because the children in the village grow up early, and Sheng’s parents don’t spoil them foolishly, so they understand the hard work of their family members.
But in Nanqiao's opinion, she hopes that her children can be more willful and happy, and don't need to care too much about adults. After all, childhood only comes once.
Rather than sacrificing herself to be considerate of others, she hopes that her children can grow up happily.
Thinking of the maternal and child supplies stored in my space
Nanqiao couldn't help but think, I don't know if I will have the chance to use it in this life...
Nanqiao saw a meat stall in a corner of the supply and marketing cooperative. There were not many pieces of pork, and it didn't look very fresh, but the one in the corner seemed to be a pheasant?
Nanqiao hasn't seen many wild animals, so I can't tell them apart at this time, but judging from the color of its feathers, it's definitely not a domestic chicken.
Nanqiao had thought about sending some rare food back home.
But the weather is too hot right now. No matter what kind of meat you send, it will probably go bad by the time it reaches Shanghai.
So Nanqiao has been planning, when he is not busy this winter, he can prepare some wild animals and rare food to send to his parents and his brother in the army.
Taking the opportunity to take out the food in the space can also make life better for the family.
Although my parents and brother's salary is not low, but in this era, many things are hard to buy even if you have money. Even if you can buy them, you have to go to the black market. Most people are reluctant to spend money. Not only are they reluctant, but they also dare not
After all, the Revolutionary Committee in recent years doesn’t care whether you have saved money for a year and only spend it this time. If you are caught, you won’t even be given a chance to defend yourself. Losing your job and being paraded through the streets are minor matters. You will go to jail!
Nanqiao has been paying special attention to the food on the counter since he decided to mail food to his parents when the weather gets colder.
"Taohua, are there any wild animals on our mountain?" Nanqiao asked Taohua beside him in a low voice.
"Yes, the bigger ones include wild boars and roe deer, and the smaller ones include rabbits and pheasants, but they are not easy to catch," Taohua said as she looked around curiously.
"Do we need to hand over the prey to the village?" Nanqiao continued to ask.
Taohua seemed to have sensed Nanqiao's thoughts. She turned around and said to Nanqiao, "Sister, do you want to go hunting? You can ask your second brother to help you. Your second brother is a first-class hunter with traps. He used to bring back pheasants or rabbits from time to time to improve the food. They are delicious." Taohua seemed to think of her second brother's past achievements and became more and more excited as she spoke.
"However, the larger wild boars and roe deer need to be handed over to the village brigade for distribution by the brigade leader or the village chief. As for other pheasants and rabbits, there is not much meat. After the villagers kill them, they usually eat them secretly, and no one says anything."
"But you still have to be careful of some bad-hearted people, like Er Gouzi in the village, an old bachelor who has no ability and can't stand others being better than him. If he can't get food, he will report others." Taohua said with disgust on her face
