Yi Xiaoqiu was still a little nervous, but she quickly read the short letter.
After reading the letter, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God, she finally escaped.
But Yi Xiaoqiu was a little worried.
This letter was written by my mother, saying that the other party's grandson was on a mission and was supposed to come back in half a year. His fiancé disappeared while on the mission, and he never mentioned the fiancé again.
Although Yi Xiaoqiu didn't want to get engaged or married with a stranger, she also didn't want the other person to disappear!
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I hope the other party is safe!
If nothing else, just the fact that he contributed to the country was enough to make Yi Xiaoqiu look forward to him.
After reading the letter, Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the contents of the package.
A pink sweater, two towels, a bag of brown sugar, and a bag of dried dates.
The dried dates were very big, as big as a baby's fist. They were rare goods, and she didn't know how her family got them. They actually sent her a bag.
There was no shortage of food, but Yi Xiaoqiu still felt that this bag of dates was extremely precious.
Yi Xiaoqiu picked up a red date, wiped it casually, and threw it into his mouth.
Mm, it’s really sweet.
Yi Ma always sends things to her, and she doesn't know if her brothers and sisters at home will have any thoughts.
Yi Xiaoqiu ate a few dates in succession and then put the things away solemnly.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Yi Xiaoqiu doesn't plan to send the letter back now, for fear that the letter will be stuck on the road due to the holiday. It would be better to wait until after the New Year to send it.
"Xiaoqiu, the New Year is coming soon. Let's go buy some new clothes for the New Year!" Shen Ruofei ran into Yi Xiaoqiu's house wearing the cotton-padded jacket that Zhao Shuhong had patched.
"I have already prepared my new cotton-padded clothes for the New Year, so I don't need to buy any more." Yi Xiaoqiu said without thinking.
"Oh! If you don't want to buy clothes, you can buy something else! Let's go! Just accompany me!" Shen Ruofei started to act coquettishly again.
Yi Xiaoqiu thought about it and realized that his New Year celebrations in the past were no different from any other day. Coming here, he should at least follow the local customs and not prepare anything.
Besides, because she is afraid of the cold, she hasn't been out for a long time. Today's weather looks good, sunny, so it's okay to go out for a walk.
"Alright! Let me tell you first! If your cotton coat gets ripped again this time, I won't lend you any more clothes!"
Last time I lent my clothes to Shen Ruofei, I was also very cold in the second half of the journey. Moreover, the Seventh Company and the Eighth Company were not far away. Old Man Liu drove fast, so I gritted my teeth and got through it.
This time they were going to Yushan Palace, which was not close, and Yi Xiaoqiu didn't want to suffer from the cold again.
Shen Ruofei blushed, "Is it okay if I wear my old cotton-padded clothes this time?"
"Well, don't dress too poorly. We're going to the supply and marketing department. If you dress too poorly, the salesperson will definitely give you the cold shoulder. It's okay if you get the cold shoulder, but I don't want to be the one to get the cold shoulder with you."
"I...are you still my sister?" Shen Ruofei was unhappy.
"I'm not afraid you'll overdo it, so I'm reminding you in advance that this one you're wearing is a nice one."
You know what, Shen Ruofei really planned that. She dressed a little shabbily so that she wouldn't believe that any thief would target her.
However, Xiaoqiu is an old educated youth and must have more experience than her. She suffered a loss last time because she didn't listen to Xiaoqiu. This time, she can't ignore the advice again.
Although the cotton coat on Yi Chen Ruofei was patched later, the cloth on the back was the same color as the front. Even after the whole piece was patched, the clothes still looked no different from new ones. Chen Ruofei was worried that she would be targeted again.
"just in case……"
Yi Xiaoqiu rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you can get your cotton stolen again, then I really admire you."
Shen Ruofei blushed when she heard that. Yes, how could it be stolen twice?
If I was robbed twice like this, I would be so stupid!
"Okay, go back and clean up! I'll be right back when I'm done."
When Shen Ruofei heard her say that, she quickly went back to her room.
When Yi Xiaoqiu packed up and came out with the storage bag, several female educated youth residents in the backyard were waiting there with their handbags.
"Are you all... going to the public?" Yi Xiaoqiu was really surprised. It was almost the New Year, and the several people in the speculation team had been running around a lot during this period in order to make more money. It was really rare that they could get together today.
"The New Year is coming soon, and I also plan to buy new clothes for the New Year!" Luo Wanlin smiled gracefully.
"Let's go! It's rare for us to go out together. There are so many of us. Let's go out on bicycles together. It will be so cool!" Shen Ruofei specially pulled everyone along for this scene.
She felt excited just thinking about it, and was the first one to ride her bicycle out of the back door of the educated youth site.
The six educated youth in the backyard all had bicycles. The six beautiful girls riding bicycles were a beautiful sight as soon as they hit the road.
Although it is cold now, many people go to Gongyuan to buy New Year's goods. The ox-drawn and horse-drawn carts coming and going on the road bring a sense of liveliness that was not seen in the past.
Yi Xiaoqiu and a few others passed by on bicycles, and many people on the road looked over here.
It was a little cold when they first went out, but after they rode their bikes for a while, they no longer felt cold, their faces became red, and they began to sweat slightly.
There were so many bicycles, and they were all ridden by a group of pretty girls. Who wouldn't be envious? Some people even wanted to know about the backgrounds of some of them.
“They must be educated youth!”
"You can tell she's from the city, so delicate and tender. If she wasn't an educated youth, who would be so wasteful as to buy her a bicycle?"
"That's right, if I'm going to buy one, I'll buy a 28-inch truck. What's the point of that other than looking at it?"
The people on the ox cart were talking a lot. Yi Xiaoqiu and the others were riding their bikes and passing by the ox cart. They had no idea what was going on behind them. But even if they knew, no one would care.
Soon, several beautiful girls finally arrived at Yushan Palace.
Because the New Year is approaching, there are more people on the streets than usual, and it is more lively than usual. Everyone has a happy face.
Several people came to the supply and marketing department and were shocked by the scene inside before they even entered.
Oh my god! There are so many people! It's dark inside, full of people.
Several salespeople had already been overwhelmed by the crowd.
"I got the cloth first."
"Bah! It's mine!"
"I want this last half pound of candy!"
"Hey! I came here first, how could you steal my things?"
…
Yi Xiaoqiu and the others looked at each other: Are we still going in? What can we grab if we go in?
Yi Xiaoqiu shook her head. She was strong and was confident that she could snatch the things, but she didn't want to go in and snatch things from a bunch of old women.
Shen Ruofei felt a little disappointed. How could she buy this? She would definitely be squeezed if she went in.
Several people stood outside the door hesitating, and no one noticed that the scoundrel behind them looked at them for a long time.
If Yi Xiaoqiu looked back at this time, he might be able to recognize that this was the gangster San Gouzi who had blocked the road before.
Sangou was extremely excited. His elder brother had been waiting for so long, and finally the person came!
"How about we wait and see if there will be fewer people?" Shen Ruofei suggested while looking at the people inside.
Since we have come here, we feel a little unwilling to leave empty-handed.
"Okay, let's take a look. If it doesn't work, we can just go somewhere else. It won't be a wasted trip." Luo Wanlin was quite open-minded.
The others had no objection. They had just ridden their bikes for over an hour and were tired, so it would be nice to take a break.
It wasn't out of place for them to be standing outside the door, as there were quite a few people standing at the door of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
An old man holding a little girl's hand had been lingering at the door for a while before Yi Xiaoqiu and the others arrived.
The little girl was wearing thin clothes and a pair of worn cotton shoes. She was shivering from the cold.
The old man had nowhere to go, so he walked back and forth holding the little girl's hand, stamping his feet.
It seemed that she was delivering something to the supply and marketing department, but unfortunately there were too many people inside and they had no time to deal with her. The old woman was unwilling to go back like this, so she started asking questions at the door with the basket in her hand.
"Would you like some frozen pears, girl?"
Seeing that Yi Xiaoqiu and others had been standing outside the door for a while, the old woman bravely came over. She lifted the cotton cloth covering the basket, revealing the dark frozen pears inside.
"Grandma, how much are these frozen pears for?" Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at the little girl whose face was red from the cold, and decided to buy all the pears.
"One cent a pound. Don't worry, young lady. These are all made in China."
"How many pounds does it weigh?" Shen Ruofei felt her mouth dry when she saw the pear.
They rode their bikes for an hour and it was not bad to eat two pears to quench their thirst.
"I have ten pounds of pears here. I weighed them before I came."
Yi Xiaoqiu took out a dollar and handed it to the old man, "Old man, I want all of these."
