Thinking of this, she felt that she had to prepare more.
However, she asked and found out that although no tickets were required to buy toilet paper at this time, the purchase was limited and each person could buy very little.
So she could only go around the supply and marketing cooperatives in various areas and buy everything she could.
Seeing that it was getting late, I didn’t go any further and planned to go to the department store tomorrow.
When I came back this time, my family members were still there.
Mother Lu seemed very happy, probably because her beloved eldest daughter finally found a job. While eating, she said that someone wanted to introduce her to a date, and she was going to pick a good one for her to meet.
Father Lu also nodded and agreed, which was rare.
Lu Xia remembered Lu Qiu's words, looked up at Lu Chun, and found that her expression was not right, but she still did not object, and she didn't know what the situation was with her boyfriend.
However, seeing the Lu family laughing so happily, she felt a little uncomfortable. They probably forgot that she was going to the countryside soon.
Lu Xia felt inexplicably angry for the original owner.
...
...
Then he thought of something and said directly: "Mom, I'm going to the countryside soon. Didn't you say you would prepare something for me? Are you ready?
By the way, you said yesterday that it’s cold in Northeast China. Do you need to prepare a thick cotton-padded jacket for me?
Also, I have never worn new clothes since I was a child. I don’t know if I will be able to come back after going to the countryside this time, so you should at least prepare some new clothes for me, right?"
As soon as the words fell, the house suddenly became quiet, and the liveliness just now disappeared.
When Mother Lu heard her words, she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Finally, she said, "Didn't I say I'd give you two quilts? They're both new."
Lu Xia nodded, "Yes, I know, besides the quilt?"
Seeing that Mother Lu was silent, Lu Xia pretended to be surprised, "Could it be that you didn't prepare anything for me except the quilt?"
When Lu's mother heard her say this, her face turned unhappy. "Then what else do you want? Who would bring two such good quilts when going to the countryside?"
Lu Xia laughed sarcastically after hearing this, "Yes, that quilt is good, but I also need other things.
Over the years, I have used everything left by my eldest sister. I have worn my cotton-padded jacket for several years. Now the cotton inside has become balls and it is not warm at all. It is cold enough to wear it in Beijing. If I wear it in Northeast China, I will probably freeze to death.
My clothes were also patched up with patches. After all, even the older sister would rather leave the clothes that had even a few patches on them to collect dust than give them to me.
I don't even have a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, or a washbasin. Are you asking me to go to the countryside like this? Are you going to escape?"
Hearing her say this, Mother Lu's face turned ugly. She wanted to say something, but then she heard Lu Xia continue:
"I remember that when the notice came down, the Youth Office gave me resettlement money, I think it was more than 200 yuan. Mom, if you don't have time, just give me the money and I will prepare it myself."
Hearing Lu Xia asking for money, Lu's mother started to get anxious, "Why are you so short-sighted? Do you think you can handle so much money?
I didn't say I wouldn't prepare it for you. Don't you still have a few days?
And it's easier said than done. To make a cotton-padded jacket, you have to buy cloth and cotton. How can we afford the tickets?
But I have already told your eldest sister, I will ask her to pick out some nice clothes for you when the time comes."
Lu Xia scoffed when he heard this, "So, in the end, you're not going to prepare anything for me?
You all know what the conditions are like in the countryside. I haven't had enough food in these years and I don't have much strength. I don't think I will be able to earn many work points to exchange for food. This money will then be my food expenses.
I have never been to the countryside, but I know that life there is not easy. Plus, it is so cold in winter, and you might lose your life if you are not careful. Can you feel at ease taking the money I gave you to buy your life?"
