Song Tanglan thought of her own house, which was always falling apart, and agreed. "You really should get some newspapers to cover the walls. They'll make the space much brighter."
"Yes! Lanlan, I also grabbed some canned yellow peaches at the supply and marketing cooperative. Did you buy any? I can share one with you." Su Tao whispered in her ear, afraid that the people next to her would hear her say this.
"I bought some too, you can keep it for yourself!"
"Lanlan, we're really lucky. Zheng Zhiqing and the others didn't get any. Especially Zhong Zhiqing. When she heard there were no canned fruits, her face turned sour. If she hadn't bought so much, the supply and marketing cooperative members might have cursed at her."
"There's still this kind of thing. I went very late and didn't see you."
"Yes, yes. As soon as she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she complained that the aunties there had no manners. Everyone else was squeezing in, but she insisted on queuing there. Moreover, the aunties ignored her and left after buying things. When it was finally her turn, the fabric she wanted was gone. There were only a few pieces of old-fashioned colors left. She then complained that several other things were out of stock, even the canned fruit. She was really unlucky."
"Now that you mention it, I feel sorry for her too." Song Tanglan thought about her own luck. Although it was sometimes good and sometimes bad, there were few things she couldn't buy.
"Let's keep our voices down, or we might offend that bitch." Su Tao glanced at the other side and said softly. "By the way, Song Tanglan, have you been to the food station? They're selling meat today."
"I went and bought a pound of it, too."
"Sun Zhiqing and I also bought it." Su Tao was very happy when she thought of this.
She and Sun Zhiqing had no shortage of food, and the subsidies given by the Youth League Office had been almost spent. They could only earn a few more work points this year to at least have some income.
It's just that they don't have much money left, but they can still eat and drink. They never treat themselves badly when it comes to food. They can't eat coarse food every day.
The two were still chatting there when Sun Jianhua and several other educated youth came over from not far away. They all carried backpacks and chatted with the people around them like brothers.
When Su Tao saw someone she knew, she greeted him, "Sun Zhiqing, have you finished shopping too?"
"Yes, Su Zhiqing, we have also brought back the newspaper you wanted." Yu He said and patted the backpack behind him.
"You talk as if you don't need it." Su Tao couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw his flattering look.
Sun Jianhua was already used to the bickering between the two. "Have you had lunch?"
"Yes, I ate it with Zheng Zhiqing and the others."
"I've eaten too. How about you, Sun Zhiqing?"
"We ate there too, and on the way back we ran into Jiang Zhiqing, and we went shopping together."
Su Tao heard Jiang Zhiqing and asked curiously, "How dare you be with Jiang Zhiqing? Aren't you afraid that Zhong Shuyi will tear you apart?"
Yu He couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Su Tao's gloating expression. "Su Tao, can you please control your expression? It's normal for a few of us male educated youth to go shopping together. Why should she mind?"
"Su Zhiqing, control your imagination." Sun Jianhua pressed his brows with a headache. These two people were really too noisy.
When Su Tao heard what the two said, she wanted to continue to refute them, but she didn't expect that the protagonist they had just discussed would walk towards them.
"Xiao Song, educated youth, when will the tractor leave?"
When Song Tanglan heard Jiang Shubai's question, he looked at his watch and said honestly:
"We're leaving in 15 minutes. Is there anything else, Jiang Zhiqing?"
"No, I just didn't have lunch. I was thinking of going to have lunch, but now I don't have enough time, so I won't go."
Jiang Shubai touched his stomach and had to give up his previous idea. He went to the black market and the supply and marketing cooperative several times today and finally bought all his daily necessities.
The timing of their trip to the countryside was very unfortunate. It was snowing heavily when they first arrived, which made it difficult to go shopping.
The question and answer between the two left the other three stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes full of complexity and curiosity.
Su Tao looked at Yu He next to her and asked: When did Lan Lan become so close to him? How come we didn't know?
Seeing her expression, Yu He knew what she was thinking without having to guess. It was so obvious that he couldn't help but roll his eyes and looked back: If you don't know, how should I know?
Su Taoyan couldn't get anything out of Yu He, so she looked eagerly at Sun Jianhua beside her.
Sun Jianhua waved his hands helplessly, indicating that he didn't know either. Seeing this, Su Tao felt disappointed and ended the eye contact.
When Song Tanglan heard that he hadn't eaten lunch, she thought of the buns she bought for her second brother-in-law, so she put the backpack back in front of her, blocking everyone's view.
He carefully took out the bun wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Jiang Shubai next to him.
Suddenly, a bag of something hot was stuffed into his hand. Jiang Shubai was stunned for a moment and looked at Song Tanglan blankly.
