Seeing Qin Man sweating, Jiang Cong reached out and wiped her forehead. The two of them got along very naturally.

In fact, they had only known each other for a few days, but they were like an old married couple.

"It's hot, follow me!"

Jiang Cong held Qin Man's wrist and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.

The handsome men and beautiful women attracted a lot of attention on the street. The supply and marketing cooperative was bustling with people. Jiang Cong ordered two bottles of two-pot coffee for three yuan, which cost him several days' wages.

"What else do you want to eat? We have crispy fried dough twists, olive preserves, and salted golden dates!" When preparing to pay, Jiang Cong asked Qin Man considerately. ..

But Qin Man was not so ignorant. She smiled and shook her head to refuse:

"I'm not a child anymore. I don't like sweets!"

Seeing that she refused, Jiang Cong didn't say anything more and directly said to the salesperson:

"Give me two packs of dates, two packs of candied fruit, and two crispy twists!"

"Didn't you say we don't need to buy it?" Qin Man asked anxiously.

Jiang Cong couldn't help laughing and explained, "Youngest sister works at the guesthouse. Let's go see her later. The preserved fruits are for the children!"

"Well……"

It was embarrassing. Qin Man felt a little embarrassed and began to avoid looking.

Jiang Cong found her even cuter when he saw her like this. He turned and went to the large white foam box beside him. He opened the foam box and saw a thick quilt inside. There were a lot of popsicles in several flavors. That was the way to store popsicles in that era.

In the countryside, you would often see people riding old-fashioned 28-bar bicycles carrying these small boxes and hawking their wares. The children in the village would get excited when they heard about it and would beg the adults at home to buy them one. Even the cheapest red bean popsicles at three cents would make them happy for a long time.

Jiang Cong took out a popsicle from inside, and then took it to the container to pay!

"Let's do the math!"

He said this to the saleswoman, and the aunt smiled and nodded, glancing at him from time to time. It was rare for her to see such a handsome boy, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Two bottles of two-pot noodles are three yuan, dates are five cents a bag, two bags are ten cents, candied fruit is three cents a bag, two bags are six cents, crispy twist is five cents a stick, two sticks are ten cents, this popsicle is made of cream, it's from a big city, it's rare, it costs eight cents a stick, totaling three yuan, thirty cents and four cents for me!"

Jiang Cong paid the money, then took the things and took Qin Man out of the supply and marketing cooperative. He tore open the paper packaging of the popsicle and handed it to Qin Man.

"Isn't it hot? Eat it quickly, it will cool down!"

Qin Man looked at the popsicle worth eight cents, which was equivalent to eating an eight-yuan ice cream in the future. The candy he bought for the children only cost six cents. Normally, Niu Niu from his sister-in-law's family would be criticized for a long time if she bought a three-yuan red bean popsicle. Qin Man was touched by his generosity to her.

"What are you still standing there for? It's time to put on makeup!" Jiang Cong smiled tenderly at her.

Qin Man then took it.

"Thank you!"

She smiled sweetly, with two pear-shaped cheeks, which looked very beautiful.

Qin Man's long hair was half tied up. Her oval face looked very gentle with this hairstyle, and her smile was somewhat playful and lively.

"You're welcome. Let's go. Follow me closely!" Jiang Cong had things in both hands and couldn't spare a hand to pull her.

Qin Man looked at the cold steam coming out of the popsicle and followed him slowly. The taste of this cream popsicle was very ordinary compared to the popsicles of later generations, but she found it very sweet and satisfying.

Jiang Cong walked in front, looking back from time to time to see if she was following.

When they arrived at the guesthouse, they had finished their popsicles and went in to see Jiang Lian, carrying their things.

Jiang Lian happened to be at the front desk. A guesthouse is similar to a hotel. There were not many guests at the moment, so she was just sitting there with nothing to do and fussing.

Until someone knocked on her table, she thought a guest had arrived, but when she looked up, she saw it was her second brother.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Jiang Lian was very surprised. She had no time to go home because she heard that her second brother had been assigned an excellent job and would be working in the city in the future. She had not had time to go back to congratulate him and was waiting to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th in a few days.

There are only three people in the guesthouse. She has another girl of similar age, and an older sister who takes care of the house. Their daily duties are to clean the guest rooms and change the bed sheets and quilt covers.

"I came to town to buy some things, and I came to see you. I brought you your favorite dates and crispy twisted dough sticks!"

Jiang Cong gave her a bag of dates and crispy twisted dough sticks, and kept the remaining bag of dates for the children to satisfy their cravings.

"Thank you, brother. That's what I was thinking of!"

She only kept five yuan for herself out of her monthly salary. She had to save some for food, drink, and toilet in town, but she was reluctant to buy snacks, and took the rest back home.

"Manman, what are you doing at the door? Come in!" Jiang Cong turned around and saw that Qin Man didn't come in. He turned around and found her standing at the door.

"My second sister-in-law is here too?" Jiang Lian stretched her neck to look outside.

Qin Man heard the voice, straightened her clothes and walked in, greeting her with a big smile.

"Hello!"

My sister-in-law is also a beauty. A few years ago, she was in high school and had to live in a boarding school. Later, she worked in the town, so I was not very familiar with her and I didn’t know if she had a good temper. However, I had the impression that she didn’t show much dislike for the original owner.
