By the time the spring plowing was over, it was already late April. Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming, Wang Chunhua was going to buy some glutinous rice to make zongzi.
It just so happens that the weather is getting hotter. Wei Yuanhang wore the same clothes as the year before last summer, but this year they are too small to wear and need to be remade. The child in Feng Qiuyue's belly also needs to make one or two new small clothes. Wang Chunhua simply Take out the food coupons and cloth coupons at home, and let the two daughters-in-law go to the county.
He Xiaoyun got this task, and she was a little excited. She has been here for so long, and she hasn't left the Qingshuihe Brigade. The farthest time she went back to her mother's house, she wanted to go out for a long time.
Moreover, since she decided to take the college entrance examination, she has secretly set a few small goals for herself. The most recent one is to find some related books first. She wants to go to the bookstore in the county to have a look.
The night before, she took out the living expenses given by Wei Jianwei. When she got it that day, she directly pressed the envelopes together in the closet without checking how many were inside.
The envelope was torn open, and five pieces of unity were revealed inside. He Xiaoyun's heart beat faster as she looked at the money.
Fifty yuan, in her era, might not be enough for a meal, but here, there are many things to do. For 80 cents a catty of pork, she can buy more than 60 catties of meat, and an egg for 50 cents, and more than 800 eggs. Just now she inquired with her sister-in-law that the bus from the commune to the county costs 25 cents a trip, and 50 cents for a round trip. With fifty yuan, she can take a hundred round trips, rich!
And Wei Jianwei, who can give her so much money, has also become a representative of local tyrants in her heart.
As for whether it would be bad to spend other people's money, He Xiaoyun had struggled for a long time before, otherwise she would not have put the money in the bottom of the box and never took it out. But there are some issues that are not clear in the first place. If you think about it seriously, she shouldn't be here in the first place. If she has been obsessed with this kind of thing, she probably won't be able to survive in this era.
What's more, she also thought about it, she borrowed the money from Wei Jianwei, and when she got income from working in the future, she would return it to him. That's why now she has no psychological burden, and can only immerse herself in the joy of being rich.
Woke up early the next morning, packed up and was about to go out, but Wei Yuanhang acted coquettishly and wanted to go together. Thinking that children don't need a ticket anyway, Wang Chunhua agreed with a big wave of his hand.
On the way, He Xiaoyun made three agreements with the child: "Let's talk about it first, no matter what you see later, you are not allowed to say that you want to buy it, you can only look at it, otherwise you will not be allowed to follow it in the future, you know?"
Wei Yuanhang skipped and walked beside her, nodding repeatedly, "Got it!"
He was probably happy to be able to come out to play. It took half an hour to walk from the brigade to the commune, but he didn't complain of being tired.
From the commune to the county, there are only two buses a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. If you miss it, you can only walk back. Of course, some people choose to walk in order to save 50 cents for the fare. Three or four hours.
It was Wei Yuanhang's first time in a car, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, sitting on He Xiaoyun's lap and looking around, asking his mother what that was, and then asking her what it was, and when the car started, his mouth couldn't stop chattering.
He Xiaoyun has a small chatterbox in her arms, and just wants to give him to someone else.
The car bumped all the way and staggered into the county town. Although it can be regarded as a city, the place is not big, and there are no traces of high-rise buildings. There are only shops on one street. The most conspicuous one is the supply and marketing cooperative at the intersection, which is named after a department store.
In her previous life, He Xiaoyun lived in a big city, and now this place, in her opinion, has nothing to do with prosperity. But after staying in Qingshuihe for a long time, it is rare to come to see a different scenery, and she has never seen the human nature of this era, so she can't help but look left and right. As for Feng Qiuyue and Wei Yuanhang, they are even more dazzled.
It was He Xiaoyun who withdrew her mind first, and pointed directly at their destination, the department store in front, "Let's go and buy the things first, and take a look later."
Entering the department store, the three of them were dazzled again. Behind the bright glass windows, there were all kinds of goods. The salesperson behind the counter was even more young and fashionable. He Xiaoyun and Feng Qiuyue, who were also young, looked like bumpkins.
Taking a general look, He Xiaoyun was holding Wei Yuanhang with one hand, and keeping an eye on the pregnant Feng Qiuyue from time to time, the three of them squeezed to the fabric counter first. Because she didn't know whether the baby in her stomach was a boy or a girl, Feng Qiuyue didn't buy a floral cloth, but chose a piece of blue fabric, and He Xiaoyun also picked out a small piece of blue, a small piece of dark blue, planning to make a piece for Wei Yuanhang. A small blue shirt and a pair of dark blue shorts. Of course, she doesn't have any sewing skills at all, and she will have to trouble Feng Qiuyue then.
After buying the children's fabrics, the two adults were fascinated by the colorful silk scarves behind the counter. In the eyes of He Xiaoyun in the past, this kind of silk scarves are earthy and vulgar, but if you see some gray and black clothes every day, you will probably be envious of these tacky rainbow colors.
After that, I went to buy glutinous rice again, and after I finished shopping, I went shopping in the store for a while.
Wei Yuanhang still complied with the agreement. Looking at those colorful candies and all kinds of novelties that he had never seen before, although he couldn't move his feet and said a few things he wanted, he wouldn't buy them if adults didn't buy them. crying. In the end, He Xiaoyun couldn't bear it, and bought him a string of candied haws, making the child so happy.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, they walked around the street, and He Xiaoyun went into the bookstore to have a look. Bookstores in small counties have few kinds of books, mostly reading materials such as "Quotations from the Chairman". There are no textbooks for students, let alone tutoring materials.
She couldn't hide her disappointment, seeing that it was getting late again, she had no choice but to walk towards the station.
There is a recycle bin next to the station. While waiting for the bus, He Xiaoyun ran to the recycle bin to look for it, and found an old textbook. She was so happy that she quickly bought it. When she was paying, she found a copy of " "Friends of Military and Local Dual-Purpose Talents" [Note], although I don't know what the specific content is, but thinking that Wei Jianwei might be interested, she has picked up a lot of books from him in the past few days. I also bought the books together, and they cost 30 cents for two.
Back home, in order to avoid Wang Chunhua's eyes, He Xiaoyun secretly transported the two books back to her room, then proudly put the "Military Land" in front of Wei Jianwei, and said with a straight back: "Give it to me." your."
Even though the gift was only worth fifteen cents, she didn't feel that it was too much to offer.
The book is a bit old, although she wiped off the dust on the surface, it still looks tattered. Wei Jianwei picked it up, looked through the catalog carefully, then raised his head and said to her, "Thank you."
"It's easy to say." He Xiaoyun waved her hands happily, carefully putting away her book.
When she was about to go out, she thought of Wei Yuanhang's performance today. To be honest, the children nowadays are much more pitiful than the later ones. They have no snacks, no toys, let alone mobile phones and computers. They can be happy if they are given a piece of candy. Thinking about the look of the little fat man in the store today , He Xiaoyun was a bit uncomfortable.
She leaned in front of Wei Jianwei, "Let's discuss something with you."
In the afternoon, Wang Chunhua once again found out with a headache that her second son had taken out the wood from the house and ruined it. The good wood was put there, and I don't know where it obstructed his eyes. It was sawed into small pieces, and it was said that it was to be used as a toy for children.
A fart toy, he only has a lot of ideas, and he is capable!
He Xiaoyun hid in the house, listening to Wang Chunhua's voice scolding Wei Jianwei, and said in her heart that a dead fellow Taoist would never die a poor fellow. Fortunately, Wei Jianwei, a fellow Taoist, is quite reliable, and he never confessed to her, the instigator, from the beginning to the end.
Wei Jianwei works carefully and has quick hands and feet. At night, he has already made more than 20 building blocks of various shapes.
He Xiaoyun wiped them clean, moved them to the bed with great interest, and said to Wei Yuanhang: "Mom taught you to play a new game. Let's build a castle first. In the castle..."
"What is a castle?" Wei Yuanhang asked.
He Xiaoyun thought for a while, and explained in the simplest words: "It's just a very big house."
"Oh." The child nodded.
"There is a dragon living in the castle, do you know what a dragon is?"
"I know, I know, there are dragons in comic books!"
The child has seen the comic strips of "Journey to the West" before, and He Xiaoyun guessed that he should be talking about the little white dragon in it. Although they are both dragons, there is still a lot of difference between the Eastern Dragon and the Western Dragon, but children, whatever Just fool around.
"That's right," she said, "that's the kind of dragon that lives in the castle, and one day it caught a princess."
"What is a public event?"
He Xiaoyun waved her hand, she was already prepared for this question, "A pretty little girl is a princess."
Wei Yuanhang frowned thoughtfully, clapped his hands after a while and concluded excitedly, "Yanyan is also a public award!"
He Xiaoyun let out a hey to herself, thinking that this kid has a sweet mouth, and he knows how to coax a girl before he has all his teeth.
She was about to continue, when Wei Yuanhang asked again: "Why is Long arresting the public?"
He Xiaoyun got stuck and fell into deep thought about this question.
Yes, what is the dragon doing to catch the princess
Do you have a baby dragon
But let’s not mention the issue of reproductive isolation, the difference in haplotype alone is enough to be eye-catching. The club of the dragon is probably thicker than the waist of the princess.
She regretted it a bit, and she was fine playing with the kid and finding a lot of problems for herself. Fortunately, after thinking hard, she came up with an answer: "Because the dragon is very lonely, it catches the princess to play hide-and-seek with it."
Wei Yuanhang nodded, there are no other questions for now.
He Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The dragon captured the princess and locked her in the castle. Now we have to defeat the dragon and save the princess—"
Before the words were finished, the child had another question, "Why do we want to fight the dragon, can't we play hide and seek with it?"
He Xiaoyun: "..."
She stopped playing.
