"What...what should we do?" The man and his wife looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the fruit candies in their hands.
Having been honest all their lives, they can't help but feel a little nervous when encountering other people's kindness.
In the end, it was the man's wife who made the final decision, "Now that everyone has left, let's take it. Big sister is a good person, we will find a way to repay her later."
"Yes!" The honest man nodded vigorously, then touched a few candies and said with a smile: "Hehe, my kids will be so happy when I go home today."
The children at home haven't eaten candy for a long time.
"Wife, have one. Didn't you love candy the most?" The man fed the candy to his wife's mouth.
The man's wife turned her head away and said, "I won't eat it. I'll leave it all for the children." As an adult, how could we compete with children for food?
"Eat it. We have earned some money today, and we can earn more in a while. Then we can take out a few cents to buy some and give sweets to everyone in the family. This way, the children won't have to covet other people's candies." The honest man stuffed the candy into his wife's mouth, his words full of expectation and yearning for a happy life in the future.
"You spend money recklessly as soon as you have some! You think you're flying to the sky with the little money you earn. There are so many other places in the family that need money, why buy candy? You have to save all the money you earn. In a few years, the eldest son will be looking for a wife, and then the second and third sons will grow up. Then there will be plenty of places to spend money, and no amount of money will be enough." The man's wife raised her eyebrows, patted her husband's arm, and taught him a lesson without hesitation.
"Hehe, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you. I'll spend the money however you say." The honest man scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly.
"That's more like it." The man's wife's face suddenly brightened from gloomy. "Okay, we've sold all the things. Let's pack our backpacks and go. While the weather is good these two days, I'll take the children to the mountains to collect mountain products. In half a month, we can collect a lot of mountain products. Then we can sell them all to my eldest sister, and we'll have enough money for the eldest brother's wedding."
"Let's work hard this year and try to do business with my eldest sister next year. By then, after saving for a few years, we might be able to save enough money for our children to get married and build a house."
The more he spoke, the more he felt that there was hope for the future, and his voice was filled with enthusiasm.
The couple walked home with their backpacks on their backs, full of expectations for the future.
Unlike when they came, they were feeling uneasy, but when they left, they were full of ambition to do something big.
***
At this time, Jianshu on the other side had already changed his clothes and returned to the black market again.
But this time she was not as lucky as before. She only got some scattered mountain products, which were not as much as she had bought before, and the quality was not good either.
Jianshu looked around but was not satisfied with any of them. In the end, he just picked out some decent ones and bought them before leaving the black market.
Anyway, she now has a relatively fixed channel, so she doesn't care so much about these scattered ones.
After leaving the black market, she changed back to her original appearance, looked at the time, and decided to go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch first, and then go shopping in the department store in the afternoon.
After riding her bike for almost two hours and walking back and forth, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, it was not yet dinner time and there were not many people inside. Jianshu randomly found a table, put down his backpack, looked at the menu for the day, and finally ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
It contains meat, vegetables and staple foods, making it a very nutritionally balanced meal.
Halfway through the meal, people started coming into the restaurant in groups of three or four, and the originally quiet restaurant became noisy.
The waiter who used to be able to knit and chat has become busy and visibly impatient. Not only does she not smile, but her voice is also frighteningly loud.
Jianshu silently quickened his eating pace.
There's nothing you can do about it, waiters these days are just so awesome.
After finishing her meal, she quickly put on her backpack and ran away. The empty space behind her was quickly occupied by someone else.
After estimating the time for a while, she found a secluded place and entered the space.
Put away all the things you bought today.
Among this pile of mountain products, walnuts and hazelnuts are the most abundant, while fungi are the least abundant, totaling less than ten kilograms.
However, considering that it will expand after soaking, this is not a small amount.
Great, we can now prepare various mushroom stews for the winter.
After spending a long time in the space, when the time was almost up, she left the space and walked towards the department store.
First, we went to the place where wool was sold. As expected, it was in the city, and the supply of wool was more than that of the supply and marketing cooperative in the staff quarters.
But at the same time, there are more people grabbing it.
Jianshu was squeezed here and there among a group of women, and was drifted with the flow. Her small body was almost crushed before she finally squeezed to the front of the counter with difficulty.
He didn't have time to choose the color at the moment. He held on to the counter with his fingers and quickly reported the quantity he needed.
After paying the money and the receipt, I squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty. The fatigue was no less than the more than one-hour ride in the morning.
Now outside the crowd, looking at the crowded people, Jianshu still couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
He patted his chest, let out a breath, and quickly left the place.
She doesn't want to experience this feeling again.
Fortunately, she did not encounter such a thing again at the next counter. She walked around and bought some cakes and biscuits. She saw a stall selling canned fruit and bought a few bottles. Then she bought a can of malted milk. After making sure there was nothing else she wanted, she turned around and left.
