Because the educated youth went to the countryside to build a new home and needed everything, the state would give each educated youth several dozen yuan in subsidies and a bunch of tickets when they went to the countryside.
When Liu Yumei gave herself the money and ticket, she told herself that there were many thieves on the train. Many of the previous batch of educated youth who went to the countryside had their cases robbed on the train, so this batch of educated youth might also have their cases robbed on the train. She told herself to be careful and buy less things so as not to attract the attention of thieves on the train and become their target.
Liu Yumei said that most things could be bought after arriving at the production team. After all, the tickets issued to the educated youth were valid throughout the country, so they could go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things when they arrived at the production team. If they thought the things in the supply and marketing cooperatives were not good enough, or some of the things were not available in the supply and marketing cooperatives, they could go further away to the department stores in the city to buy them. The things in the department stores were better than those in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and were more complete.
I thought what she said made sense. It would be troublesome to buy a lot of things and take them on the train in large and small bags, and I would have to keep an eye on them at all times. Although I could put them in the space, there were many people on the train. It would be better to use the space less in crowded places to avoid exposing the existence of the space. So I listened to her and did not buy anything. The canvas bag containing the food and the water bottle that I took out of the space were both from the supermarket.
I had originally planned to go to the department store to buy a bag and a water bottle, but when I found that the supermarket had canvas bags and water bottles at this time, I decided to get them from the space to save some money.
Although I am a wealthy woman now and have no shortage of money, I still try to save money wherever possible.
"But buying only these things is too little. Besides, you should buy things like quilts. Thieves won't steal those things. They are too big and difficult for them to hide. They can be easily discovered." Liu Yumei sighed.
"I originally wanted to buy a quilt, but then I thought the quilt was too big and difficult to carry, so I decided to wait until I get to the production team and buy it together with other things." Xu Zhixin said.
She hadn't planned to buy a quilt at all. There were plenty of them in the supermarket, including several of the current styles that she could use.
"You are such a troublesome kid. You just fear trouble and want to save money." A hint of helplessness flashed across Liu Yumei's face and she shook her head gently.
Xu Zhixin smiled.
After a while, it was time for roll call. Liu Yumei and other people from the Youth League Office began to call the roll. After the roll call, the train arrived at the station. When the Youth League heard the people from the Youth League Office say that they could get on the train, they immediately rushed to get on the train, each one pushing harder than the other. Xu Zhixin pushed the hardest among them.
According to the original owner's memory, she knew that although the seats on the train at that time were marked with seat numbers, people did not sit according to the numbers on the ticket, but instead had to "grab" a seat.
Getting a train ticket only means you can get on the train. Whether you can get a seat depends on whether you can grab one.
The seats are always owned by whoever grabs them first, so if Xu Zhixin wants to get a seat, she has to rush to the front and grab it first.
Xu Zhixin was the first one to rush onto the train, and then she found that the seat on her ticket was a good window seat, so she thought to herself that she would just sit in the seat on her ticket and not grab someone else's seat.
Xu Zhixin sat down in her seat, but before she could even get comfortable, someone wanted to take her seat.
"I want to sit in this seat. Please stand up and give me the seat."
